In Three Months' Time (Haikyuu)

VII: Sullen

Atsumu knocks on Kiyoomi's door. The door opens, and Atsumu goes inside with a smile on his face, "oh, you look busy,"

Kiyoomi sits on his swivel chair and runs his hand through his hair, "yeah, they gave me three projects to finish for this month,"

"Isn't that a good thing?" Atsumu asks as he sets their lunch, making sure he doesn't touch any of the papers on Kiyoomi's table.

"It is, but it's taking forever to finish. Are you okay if I eat while doing this?"

Atsumu nods, "it's fine, I understand,"

"Thank you,"

Silence ensues while they eat. Kiyoomi was silently doing his work while Atsumu continuously glances at his watch, waiting about when to tell Kiyoomi his plans with Tooru. Once Atsumu noticed that lunch break was about to end, he finally decides to speak, "Kiyoomi,"

He was still busy with what he was doing, so he hums to let Atsumu know he's listening.

"I'm going to meet with Tooru this evening," Kiyoomi turns his head towards Atsumu, "oh yeah, he finally arrived from France,"

"Yeah, and he asked me if I was free," Atsumu doesn't know why he's waiting for approval from Kiyoomi when they're just living as 'roommates' now, and it's not like Kiyoomi forbid him from meeting Tooru before.

"Okay, I'll just use the time to work on these," Kiyoomi raises one of the folders he was holding, and Atsumu nods. He needs to get used to not asking Kiyoomi for permission in the future, "what time are you coming home so I know if I should cook or order dinner,"

Atsumu hums. He tries to estimate the time he's going to stay with Tooru and chuckles when he imagines them talking for hours, "I don't know. We have months worth of catching up to do,"

Kiyoomi leans on his chair with a fond smile on his face and keeps the folder away, "well, it is you and Tooru,"

"What do you mean by that?"

Kiyoomi rolls his eyes, "you know what I mean. You two take forever to stop talking shit about people,"

Atsumu fakes an offended gasp, "as if you don't do that with Hajime,"

Kiyoomi laughs, "we talk shit about you two," he leans forward and ruffles Atsumu's hair. Before leaning back on his chair with a smug look when Atsumu stares at him dumbfounded.

Atsumu pouts, "well, we talk shit about you guys too," he huffs and crosses his arms together, making Kiyoomi chuckle.

"Oh really? That's not the case whenever I would overhear you gushing to Tooru or Osamu about me," Kiyoomi smirks and raises a brow to challenge Atsumu.

Atsumu leans forward, "so, you're an eavesdropper," he clicks his tongue and pretends to be disappointed, "didn't know you did that, I'm disappointed, Sakusa Kiyoomi,"

Kiyoomi rolls his eyes, "I didn't have to eavesdrop. Your voice was loud enough for me to think that you're intentionally doing it for me to hear how much you love me,"

Atsumu opens his mouth, ready to retaliate, but his alarm goes off, making both of them look at his watch, "oops, times up, Atsumu,"

"You're lucky my alarm went off," Atsumu says with squinted eyes, "but I'll get you next time,"

"Well, enjoy your afternoon," Kiyoomi bids Atsumu goodbye with a teasing grin. Atsumu rolls his eyes, "enjoy dealing with those stack of papers," he bids Kiyoomi goodbye before closing the door behind him.

Atsumu enters his car and bites his bottom lip to stop himself from smiling, "you look like an idiot," he whispers to himself, but that didn't matter. They're back to teasing each other again, and Atsumu couldn't be happier. But the more they go back to normal, the more his anxiety grows. There are only two weeks left, but he still doesn't know where they're headed. So, he settled with savoring whatever time he has left with Kiyoomi while preparing himself for a life that doesn't involve Kiyoomi, just in case.
