5+1 Displays of Affection ◇ SakuAtsu

3 (Sleepy Sakusa)

The next time MSBY had their world flipped, Hinata had to bear it alone.

He arrived to practice an hour early after a rough night of struggling to sleep, with a desperate need to get out of his apartment. When he walked into the locker room, the last thing he was expecting to see was someone else – much less two someones.

Hinata froze in the doorway, staring at Sakusa and Atsumu who hadn't noticed his arrival.

Sakusa was sitting on a bench, his back against the row of lockers it was pushed against – a normal position, if not for Atsumu straddling his lap.

Hinata let out a tiny squeak and immediately slapped a hand over his mouth from fear of being discovered. It wasn't that they were doing anything inappropriate. He just felt as though he was intruding on something but was far too fascinated (yet horrified) to look away.

"Yer the one who wanted early practice, Omi Omi!" Atsumu whined, a prominent pout on his lips as he looked down on Sakusa, whose head was thrown back, eyes closed.

"Hmm."

Atsumu glared at his boyfriend, despite him not being able to see it.

"Fine! I'll leave ya here then, 'cause I wanna practice my serves."

Atsumu made to stand up but Sakusa scowled and hooked his arms around his lower back, holding him in place.

"Omiiiii!"

"M'tired. Don't leave. Warm."

Atsumu frowned but settled in, crossing his arms over his chest.

A few minutes passed where no one moved. Hinata was almost certain Sakusa had actually fallen asleep and was about to make his presence known when Atsumu uncrossed his arms with a smile.

"Yer such a grump in the mornin', babe~"

Sakusa scowled again.

Atsumu chuckled and leaned down, kissing him on the cheek. Sakusa hummed, so Atsumu followed it with a kiss to his jaw, then chin, then nose.

Sakusa opened one of his eyes. "What're you doing?"

"Un-grumpifyin' ya."

Atsumu continued to pepper his face with kisses, and gradually a smile overtook Sakusa's frown, his eyes fully opening as he became more awake.

"You're ridiculous, Atsu. And you've kissed me everywhere except the lips, so I'll take a proper one now."

"There ya are!"

Atsumu pulled away from Sakusa (who – "honest to God, guys" when Hinata recounted what he saw to the team later – whined) and stood up, grinning.

"I'll kiss ya each time ya receive my serve!"

"This is boyfriend discrimination. You're making me work for kisses when they should be given freely."

It was his turn to pout, but despite his protest, Sakusa dragged himself off the bench. Obviously dipping back into his sour mood, he glared at the unoffending wall in front of him.

Atsumu must have noticed because he let out a quiet laugh and gave him a peck on the lips.

Hinata was absolutely floored by how Sakusa managed to visibly brighten from that.

"I've already given ya plenty for free, ya big baby. Now c'mon! Practice time!"

Hinata waited for the two to head into the gym before stepping fully into the locker room.

And if he stayed in there long after he changed, well... No one had to know.
