Your Second Option | Haikyuu Fanfic

Best Man

I can't be part of your happiness.

Those remaining months seemed to pass by slowly, each day dragging.

Osamu and Sakusa didn't speak of what they'd done again. Osamu only contacted him to tell him he'll pay him as soon as his business made a profit. Sakusa disagreed at first but understood in the end.

Atsumu's arrival was getting closer, and every time Osamu thought of seeing him again, having to pretend everything was fine, he felt as if someone had kicked him in his stomach.

Crying became a common thing for him during those months.

He didn't recognize himself and the way he betrayed his own brother. He couldn't believe how much of a scum he was, how selfish he allowed himself to be.

And that exact same thing kept Sakusa mired in guilt and longing all that time. But as that long-awaited day approached, he pushed those thoughts aside, his desire to finally see him again being stronger than his remorse.

The said day came, and Osamu took a day off from work so that he and his parents could meet Atsumu at the airport.

Atsumu told him Sakusa had a business trip that day, so he wouldn't be there with them. But he was coming back in the afternoon so everyone could have dinner together.

A dinner Osamu wasn't looking forward to.

They waited for almost an hour until Atsumu arrived, his smile wide and loving.

And as he hugged his parents tenderly, Osamu felt his heart clenching.

Then, Atsumu looked at him and he couldn't help but smile back and hug his twin tightly, closing his eyes to fight the happiness and guilt tears that were forming in his eyes.

"I missed ya, dumbass", Osamu said.

"Missed ya more, ya moron!".

They wrestled a little as a joke and ended up laughing and hugging again.

Everything would be so fine if those months were just a dream.

He had to hide what happened, so Atsumu could keep being this happy, so he keeps smiling.

They had lunch together and catched up, Atsumu enthusiastically talking about all the challenges he faced and overcame, and how excited he was to play in Japan again.

Osamu was enjoying this family lunch and the table games they played after. He wondered when was the last time this had happened, Tsumu and him almost feeling like little kids again.

But every now and then, the view turned nostalgic.

If Atsumu finds out, this would never, ever, happen again.

He felt like crying but tried his best not to show it.

He didn't want to lose this... he doesn't want to lose his brother
