Part 20 ♡︎

(I know this was never specified but Atsumu majors in Architecture and Sakusa Majors in Engineering)

The Next Day

Atsumu looked at his watch as he wandered the Architecture and building design halls. He had 45 minutes before his next class and he had just realized that he didn't actually know many people in his major, like at all.

Most times people spent their breaks together in the courtyard but, looking out the window, being surrounded by people whom he didn't actually know besides names didn't sound all that appealing to Atsumu.

He thought about calling Oikawa or Tendou but both were in the same lecture right now. He sighed and, feeling a bit lonely and dejected, slid down the wall to sit on the ground, pulling out his earbuds.

He shoved them in his ears and shuffled his "Committing Arson because I can" playlist. (One of my actual Playlists, go check it out on spotify if you want to lol)

Atsumu leaned his head back and closed his eyes, letting the music fizzle out his bottled up emotions. Smells Like Teen Spirit was just starting to play when, out of nowhere, someone plucked one of the earbuds out of his ears.

    "Fancy seeing you here."

Atsumu sat up quickly and his eyes flung open but when he saw the familiar black hair and beauty marks, he just chuckled and leaned back again.

    "I could say the same thing, Omi. What brings you to my side of the Jungle?" At this, Sakusa just raised one eyebrow at the blond while sitting down next to him.

    "Uh, I don't think that's an actual saying."

    "Uh, I think it is." Atsumu said, mimicking the taller of the two. Sakusa just smiled and rolled his eyes.

    "Whatever. Anyways, I came to get a couple extra Building Design textbooks for my civil engineering class but... I have no idea where I am or how to get back." he trailed off, looking around.

    "Well Omi, it's your lucky day because I just so happen to be an expert on these particular hallways and rooms." Atsumu said, looking smug.

    "Oh, well golly gee I'm sure glad I ran into you!" Sakusa said in a playful sarcastic tone. Atsumu laughed and elbowed him lightly.

    "Oh my god, just follow me." he said, getting up from his spot on the ground then turning around to offer a hand to the black haired boy who took it.

They walked for a minute until Sakusa broke the comfortable silence.

    "Why we're you up here alone instead of outside with other people?" he asked.

    "Ah, well. I don't actually know many people in my major and I'd rather listen to my music than stand awkwardly outside for 45 minutes until class starts." he said sheepishly.

    "Tsumu, you should get to know some of them. They're probably really nice." Sakusa insisted. Atsumu just whined in response earning a disapproving look from the latter.

    "I don't need more friends! I have the skaters, Kawa, Tendou, Samu and Sunarin, and now I have you too! Honestly Omi, if you stay with me, I'll be set for life." he said while smiling and stretching as if he had no worries in the world. Sakusa looked away to hid his pink cheeks.

    "Yeah whatever. You know I wouldn't leave."

    "AW OMI'S SO SWEET." Atsumu cooed while linking arms with the other boy and taking a left turn down another hallway. "Ah, here's the Building design class. Professor Oiwake is at lunch but I'll let him know you guys needed some. He shouldn't mind."

The two walked into the classroom and Atsumu made a beeline for the back cabinets which he opened to reveal hundreds of orange textbooks.

    "Perfect, I need about 10." Sakusa said, kneeling down next to the blonde.

    "You were gonna carry 10 textbooks all by yourself?!" Atsumu exclaimed.

    "Well yeah, why?"

    "Omi, yer gonna hurt yer back. I can't have that! I'll help ya."

    "But Tsumu I-"

    "No buts Omi! No. Buts."

    "You're so stubborn, oh whatever. C'mon, grab 5." The two of them each grabbed 5 textbooks and headed back down the hall.

    "Hey thanks for helping me." Sakusa said as they made their way out the doors of the Architecture building and across campus.

    "No problem Omi! I was actually gonna text you anyways."

"Oh really? What's on your mind?" he asked.

    "I wanted to ask if you wanted to come practice at the rink with me later tonight." the blond asked shyly "You're probably really busy and-"

    "Tsumu I-" Sakusa tried to start but was cut off.

    "And if you have to study that come first obviously-"

    "Tsumu-"

    "But I just thought maybe because I like it better when you're there-"

    "ATSU!" Sakusa said loudly, interrupting the rambling boy. Atsumu stopped in his tracks and looked wide eyed at Sakusa while blushing furiously.

    "Wha- what did you... jus- just say?" he asked. Sakusa blushed a little and looked nervously at Atsumu.

    "Well I just- I called you Atsu. I'm sorry if you don't want me to but I- you weren't  responding to Tsumu. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have-"

    "No." Atsumu said plainly, still a blushing mess.

    "What?"

    "No I- I think it's really freaking cute. Especially coming from you." As soon as Atsumu realized what he said he looked away embarrassed. 

    "I- uh okay." They walked on in awkward silence for a moment until the black haired boy spoke.

    "Of course I'll go practice with you tonight."

    "Really Omi?"

    "Yeah. Always."

    "Thank youuuuu!" Atsumu said, lightly bouncing up and down while Sakusa just smiled. They finally made their way back to Sakusa's classroom and dropped off the books.
