𝑊𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝐸𝑦𝑒𝑠 ~ 𝐴 𝑆𝑎𝑘𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑠𝑢 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 (𝑆𝑘𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝐴𝑈)

Part 10 ♡︎

Before we get started, I just wanted to mention a couple things.

First off, there's a slight TW for anxiety attacks in this chapter, it's nothing severe but I just wanted to let you guys know.

Second, as mentioned already, someone has an anxiety attack and it may look or sound different than what you know either from personal experience or from reading. Everyone's attacks can be different and can be scary in different ways. I experience anxiety attacks pretty often so I just wrote down what mine feel like to me.

If you see any problem or mistake or you have a question please feel free to ask!

Ok, ok sorry for the long rant. I'll let you get to reading now my lovelies. (●'◡'●)ﾉ

Back at the Miya's apartment

Osamu and Suna were still cuddling on the couch, watching HunterXHunter together when Atsumu stepped through the door of the apartment.

    "Hey, ya were gone a pretty long time. What were ya doin'?" Osamu asked his brother, not looking away from the screen.

    "I- I went ta Omi's apartment." Atsumu said in a slight daze. Osamu whipped his head away from the show as he heard this.

    "You WHAT?" Even Suna paused the show and looked over to Atsumu with an interested look on his face. Atsumu's face was still pink and he was looking at them with a small smile on his face.

    "I saw Komori at Boka Doka and he was gettin' coffee for him and Omi and I explained ta him that I wanted to talk ta Omi and he said I could jus go back with him and so I did and I got Omi's number." he explained, still dazed and not realizing he was saying the word 'and' way too many times.

    "Woah, slow down bro. So ya went to their apartment and what happened then?" Osamu asked intently.

    "Well I walked in and Omi was sittin' on the couch and when he saw he he got up and smiled and we talked and I told him I wanted ta talk ta him and I gave him my phone and he put his number in and then I asked if we could take a picture and-" Atsumu was cut off by his brother.

    "Wait, what didja want a photo fer? And he said no of course right? 'Cause he won't let people touch him."

    "I jus wanted one for his profile pic and 'cause," Atsumu suddenly became shy "'cause I jus wanted a picture of us together, okay? And he finally said yes so we took one and then I said I should go so I left. That's pretty much it." he explained, Suna and Osamu looked at him dumbfounded.

    "He... he let you take a picture with him?" Suna asked skeptically. The blond nodded and showed them his phone. The two on the couch leaned in and looked at the screen eagerly. There was the picture of Atsumu and Sakusa. Atsumu had his arm around the taller's neck and they both smiled at the camera.

They looked at each other and smiled.

    "What? Why are y'all smilin' at each other like that?" Atsumu asked, confused.

    "Because you, Tsumu, are one of very few people Sakusa Kyioomi trusts most in the world." Suna said, smiling slyly at him.

Later that night

Atsumu was sitting at his desk, all the lights in the apartment turned off. The time of the clock said 2:43 am and Osamu was in his room sound asleep. The blond, however, was staring intently at his laptop where a video of his performance at the Semi Finals was playing. Atsumu would rewind again and again, then fast forward and watch for a bit before he would rewind the video once more. His mind was racing. 'That axel was sloppy' 'My foot wasn't pointed there' 'That split wasn't a straight line'. He had a notebook next to him where he was scribbling feverishly. After that video was over he switched from his performance to someone else's.

It was his greatest opponent and probably his toughest adversary. Last year, when he was performing for the Semi Finals, this skater beat him and knocked him out of the running. If he was going to win this year then he needed to beat Nezari. (Nezari is the name of his opponent) Atsumu watched Nezari's every move. He watched the way he jumped, the way he spun, the way he landed, his ending pose, everything. And the more Atsumu watched the more he felt his heart rate pick up. How was he ever supposed to beat Nezari? He was amazing, a born natural. And Atsumu? He was just a college kid who came from a small town and who was barely known across the country.

Atsumu soon found his heart beating rapidly. He was starting to sweat and shake. With trembling hands, he opened a window and inhaled the fresh night air, trying to take deep breaths. He wanted to talk, wanted to scream but he couldn't. He could barely make a sound. Atsumu wasn't crying, he couldn't. He needed to talk, needed someone to tell him they're listening to everything he needs to say. More than anything though, Atsumu needed someone to talk to him. To reassure him and calm him down. But he didnt know who. He couldn't call Oikawa because he and Iwaizumi share an apartment and if Atsumu called him he might wake Iwaizumi up. He didn't want to wake Samu up cause Suna was spending the night so that they can go to practice together in the morning and he didn't want to wake either of them up. Atsumu just sat there, curled up in his desk chair, his heart rate slowly increasing and his breathing getting shallower. But at that moment, his phone dinged quietly, facedown on his desk. With shaking fingers he pulled it towards himself and flipped it over to see a message notification.

Omi-Omi <3: Hey, you're probably not up but if you are I just thought you might wanna talk?

Atsumu stared at the screen with wide eyes, the light reflecting in the golden-brown color of them.

The 'Tsumu Miya: How did ya know?

Omi-Omi <3: Know what?

The 'Tsumu Miya: That I was up and needed ta talk to someone

Omi-Omi <3: Just a hunch I guess

The 'Tsumu Miya: Omi, are ya able to call? It's ok if not.

Omi-Omi <3: Why, what's up?

The 'Tsumu Miya: I just really need to hear someone's voice. Anyone really.

Omi-Omi <3: Yeah one sec

*Incoming call from Omi-Omi <3*
