Part 21 ♥︎

They finally made their way back to Sakusa's classroom and dropped off the books.

    "Ah, Sakusa. Thank you for getting the books. Who's this?" his professor asked.

    "Professor Yamogari, this is my best friend Miya Atsumu."

    "Nice to meet ya Professor!" Atsumu beamed while glowing with pride at being called Omi's best friend.

    "Likewise! You know, Sakusa here is a bright young man but it takes a lot to gain his trust. You must be special if you got a title like that." Professor Yamogari said while Sakusa just rolled his eyes with a tinge of pink on his cheeks.

    "Well he's pretty special himself so I'm really glad he thinks so. Anyways, I should get to my next lecture. It was great meeting ya Professor! I'll call ya about tonight later Omi!" Atsumu said, leaving a blushing Sakusa side.

    "See you later Atsu!" he called out as the blond left. Atsumu walked down the hallway, his hand on his burning cheeks. 'Atsu' he thought to himself.

He loved it.

That night at the rink

As Atsumu got to the rink, he saw a familiar black Chevy Malibu pull into the parking lot. He smiled as Sakusa got out of the car and waved.

    "Hey Atsu."

    "Hiya Omi!"

The two walked into the rink together, talking about various things. When they got inside they sat down on the bleachers and laced up their skates.

    "So, why did you wanna come for extra practice tonight?" Sakusa asked the blond as they stood up and headed for the ice.

    "Oh, well ya see..." he trailed off and Sakusa deadpanned at him.

    "It's gonna be something that you're going to over work and then be all exhausted, isn't it?" he said.

    "Not exactly! Nezari has a signature move that earns him extra points every time he competes. It's one of the reasons he beat me last year. If I can somehow find a way ta create a better move or counter his move with something similar but better, I think that'll really improve my chances of winning." he explained.

    "Hmm, I'm sure we can think of something. What's his move look like?"

    "Uh well, it's a quadruple axel."

(real thing, look it up)

    "I- alright, not even gonna ask. Anyway, what do you think you can do?" Sakusa asked as they skated around in circles together to get warmed up. Atsumu blushed and looked down.

    "I- I dunno I had an idea but it's stupid and I-" he was cut off.

    "Oi! We're not doubting ourselves again. Not tonight at least. You need to believe in yourself once in a while. So, what was your very not stupid idea you had?" he asked.

Atsumu just smiled and shook his head, taking a deep breath.

    "I wanna try to maybe, possibly, attempt to do a backflip...?" he said, as if it was a question. Sakusa just stared at him.

    "Is that even allowed?"

    "It was banned but a couple years back they lifted the ban. No one has successfully done it in a competition yet but I... I dunno... maybe wanted to try it."

(THE BACKFLIP BAN WAS NOT ACTUALLY LIFTED, IT IS JUST FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF THE STORY)

    "Damn... you know what? I think you could actually pull it off." Sakusa said, taking Atsumu's hand so he could stretch his right leg up in the air.
