After washing up I turn the water off grabbing my towel and getting out of the shower. I go to the mirror and sigh ruffling my hair a little. If only he could like me back, then maybe I wouldn't feel like this. It hurts. I wrap the towel around my waist and open the bathroom door feeling the cold air hit my warm skin. It's not pleasant at all, I should go back to the bathroom. but I can't cause I wanna get dressed, I start walking towards my room.

    I open my room door to see Atsumu on my bed, it looked like he was waiting for me. Atsumu looked at me and smiled "Hey Shoyo! I was waiting for you to get out!" He said way too excited and I just smiled and asked "Why?" I was walking towards my closet to get some clothes. Then I heard Atsumu say "I was thinking instead of sleeping in my room, we sleep in your room tonight." I froze a light blush on my cheeks. "Tsumu of course we can sleep in my room," I say grabbing a shirt and turning towards him. Atsumu smiled "Sounds great!! Let me get my blanket from my room," he said and then proceeded to dash towards his room.

     This gave me time to quickly change into my clothes. Atsumu came back the blanket on his right arm pillow under his other, I can't help but laugh. "Tsumu, it's not even night yet. What are you doing?" I asked in between my laughing. He throws his stuff in my bed and says "Can never be too early prepping for the night!" Now I can't help it I start laughing really hard and I can hear Atsumu make a little pouting noise. I can't help it he's adorable and funny without even knowing he is. "S-stop laughing at me!" Atsumu said trying not to laugh at the fact I'm laughing so hard.

                    I'm holding my stomach on the floor laughing when all of a sudden I could feel my arms being pinned to the floor. I was being held down by an embarrassed blushing atsumu, I stopped laughing and looked at him. "Tsumu you okay?" I asked very confusedly, he couldn't even look at me. "Tsumu?" I ask again trying to get him to talk to me. He finally looked at me, both arms still pinning me to the ground I might add. "Sorry, I.. just got a bit embarrassed okay? You're the only one that knows about my... cuddling thing.. so I'm a bit embarrassed" he said not even looking at me, of course, I forgot how embarrassed he can get. He may seem cocky, but in reality, he just wants attention not knowing how to show it. I smiled and turned his head towards me "Hey, I'm sorry for laughing so hard. It's just... I like seeing you so excited and I.. couldn't help but laugh." I say trying to make it up to him. He smiles and says "Thanks man, I'm sorry for overreacting.. you're really the best best friend a man could ask for!" I smile at his nice words but the word friend still stung really bad. "Hey, could you get off of me now?" I say feeling an uncomfortable feeling in my wrists from him gripping so hard.

     He instantly pulls away and proceeds to apologize profusely. I smile at him and tell him it's okay and that there was no need to worry. I get up feeling relieved that I could finally stand up, he finally stood up as well. I had a perfect idea and turned towards Atsumu. "Tsumu let's go watch a volleyball game!!!" I say as I watch his eyes lighten at the word volleyball. We both have a weakness in volleyball, we both love it so much and I like that it's something so important to us.
                    
         We both ran to the living room to both plops on the couch preparing to watch some volleyball. After scrolling through all the usual volleyball channels it seems like there isn't anyone right now. That sucks, but luckily we have all of our old games on DVD. I stand up to go get them when atsumu grabbed my arm pulling me back onto the couch. He stood up and looked at me saying "I got it, you sit down." with that he left to go get the DVDs. He left me alone with my thoughts, he treats me like a child sometimes. He also has moments when he gets extremely clingy as well, but I love it cause I honestly just love being with him. I personally think I could never get annoyed with him, he honestly makes my day. I

          felt a tap on my shoulder so I turn my head to see Atsumu holding multiple DVDs with a cute grin on his face. I smile back at him and asked "Which one did you wanna watch?" He walked towards the DVD player "I was actually thinking about watching our first match against each other" he said pulling out what I would assume to be the DVD with our match against each other. I smiled and said "Okay." As I just tried to get comfortable on the couch. This house is too hot to be having a blanket but I feel like it would set the mood honestly. As if Atsumu heard me he threw a blanket on me, where did he get that? Actually, when did he get that? I could hear Atsumu laughing "That's hilarious, also... I turned the heat down while I was looking for the DVDs. I felt like a blanket would be perfect to watch volleyball in." I heard from under the blanket, I can't see anything.

                 I finally move the blanket from over my head to see Atsumu walking towards the couch, he finally got everything set up. He sat right next to me on the couch proceeding to grab the blanket. "It's gonna start getting cold, I'd recommend getting under the blanket," Atsumu said covering himself with the blanket. I grab a part of the blanket and covered it up as well, of course, he has us sharing the same blanket. He pressed play and we started watching, the match was still very clear in my head. How could I ever forget such an amazing match, when my receives actually started getting good.

     How cool it was the fact that Atsumu and his brother could do me and Kageyama's quick attack. I could go on and on about how amazing that match was but there's really no point. I feel the coldness start to finally ease into the house, now I don't think I'm gonna get out the blanket. Atsumu is really bold turning down the heat just so we could use a blanket. It seems he noticed I was cold and wrapped his arm around my shoulder, but never keeping his eyes off the screen.

     He was watching one of his serves, I can't believe he was getting nishinoya as well as he did. Noya was known for his amazing receives and I adored him for it. Atsumu held me close while we were watching that, he really is clingy. He pulls out his phone to text some random number I haven't seen before. Wait, I have seen that number.. he's texting the waitress from Earlier today, already? It does seem kinda weird having him text a girl while he's literally attached to me, but it's atsumu we're talking about here. Me being nosy my face is towards the game, but my eyes are glued to the phone. It looks like they are planning to do something, of course.

        I can't be hurt, this was eventually going to happen. I focus back on the game, I don't even wanna look anymore it'll hurt more. After watching the rest of the game atsumu did end up jumping up in frustration due to them losing. I couldn't help but laugh a little, he acts as if he didn't know the result of the match. "Tsumu you always get so angry at the end, why?" He turned back towards me with a smile. "I can't help it, it's just so crazy that a perfect setup like that got blocked." After he said that, his movement paused due to the fact he just realized how cold the house was. Hopping right back into the blanket, he groaned complaining about how cold it was. I chuckle and nudge his shoulder, "It was your idea to turn off the heat Tsumu." I say with a little smirk on my face. He groans and I get up to turn the heat back on. "Shoyo...?" Atsumu said almost like he actually didn't want to.
