bloom into spring {sakuatsu}

the black haired boy sat crouched over the flowers, breathing heavily as his legs started to give out. he fell backwards and sat down on the cold concrete. pulling down his mask he exhaled, his breath showing in the cold atmosphere as he scratched his head.

a stifled laugh became audible behind him, turning around revealed a boy with a hair color that looked like a bad box dye bleach job. the boy on the floor furrowed his eye brows "who are you?" he asked, subtly annoyed. "i'm your new roommate! dont tell me you forgot.." the boy sulked, slouching his shoulder. right he asked suna to find him a new roommate, but this one didn't look too promising.

he stood up, sticking his hands in his pockets; the atmosphere was tense..

"yeah i didn't forget, i'm kiyoomi sakusa" the boy introduced, looking up at the other "i'm atsumu miya, nice to meet you" atsumu smiled as he held his hand out for a handshake.

sakusa took a long time looking at his hand, sighing and ignoring atsumu. he of course didn't intend to mean this in a rude way he just didn't know how to decline it nicely. atsumu took the gesture not that well and looked back at the black haired boy annoyed.

the two went into their new shared apartment, atsumu already had boxes in his room and he quickly went to make his bed. sakusa went to his room in silence but soonly it was interrupted by his angry stomach, groaning the boy left his room walking to his new roommates room.

he knocked "hey uh, i'm gonna make some food do you-" he was interrupted by the door suddenly opening "thank god you asked, i was so hungry" atsumu groaned, leaning forwards as sakusa could almost feel his breath.

quickly the boy pulled back, gross he thought..

the pair walked to the kitchen, atsumu sitting on the chairs at their bar table and sakusa getting pots out to make well.. he didn't really know what he was gonna make yet.

upon opening the cabinets he realized how much he needed to go to the store.

"do you never go to the store?!" atsumu said loudly, peaking his head over to look at the almost empty cabinet. the boy sighed "i don't like going out in public much" he simply said as he took out some in cup ramen "is this fine?"

atsumu nodded as sakusa started the kettle and leaned on the bar table across from the blond.

"you know the flowers will be gone soon" the boy stated as sakusa stared at him blankly, a little confused why he said that. atsumu chuckled "i saw you staring at the flowers remember?" bringing up their first meeting made sakusa a little embarassed "ah, i actually planted those flowers.." he cleared up.

the blond raised his eyebrows, surprised since sakusa didn't necessarily look like a gardener but he thought it was nice. the kettle screeched as it startled both the boys. sakusa quickly quieted it as he took it off the stove pouring it into both the ramen cups.

both the boys ended up enjoying their first night together, having good conversations and actually laughing a few times. sakusa thought it was good he could get along with someone he'd have to spend a lot of time with.
