✓ Rivals - SakuAtsu

VII: 😳 Aftermath 😳

The team found themselves in their room, sitting on their futons in a circle. Osamu groaned, "We lost all both of our games today!"

"We didn't even win one." Karen replied.

Atsumu stuttered, "B-but they're on a whole different level then us, and we almost won the first game! Isn't that pretty impressive?"

"He's right," Kita agreed, "let's just get a good nights sleep and aim for at least a few wins by the end of this training camp."

"Okay, Goodnight."

"G'night."

"Nighty-night."

The room went dark, and the only light portrayed was from the opened window. Atsumu grabbed his phone while he lifted the bedsheets over his head. He opened up his phone to be greeted by blinding light. He mentally groaned as he put his brightness all the way down and opened up his chat with Sakusa.

Atsumu switched off his phone before taking a breath. He undid the bedclothes above him before rising gently. He took each step slowly, trying his best to avoid making noise that would disturb his classmates. If he accidently awakened them up, they would get curious. He was obviously against that.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he hesitantly took hold of the handle. He turned the handle gradually while looking at his peers. He opened the door behind him and sighed in relief as he left the room.

He didn't want to make his partner wait too long, so he sprinted quickly through the hallways. He panted as the wind blew directly into his face. The halls were somewhat lowered by the moonlight, which made the pale blue floor appear darker.

Why did these corridors never end? The square pattern repeated, making it appear as though he was jogging in place.

Atsumu abruptly came to a stop as he heard muttering. Who's awake at this hour? Well, other than me and Omi.

He leaned against the wall peaking his head out. His eyes landed on two people from Itachiyama he knew since both males wore light yellow shirts, indicating they went to that school. He recognized one as Kuboyasu, the purple haired player with glasses, but he didn't know who the baby blue haired person was. Maybe the team manager? But he's awfully close to him..

Suddenly, the grape hair lowered his head and connected his lips with the stranger. "Were they," Atsumu thought, "going to make out in the middle of the fucking hallway!?"

Atsumu siliently sighed before pulling out his phone, snapping a quick picture, and going on with his night. He wasn't going to blackmail them or anything. Well, he himself didn't know what he was going to do with that photo.

Atsumu glared at the black haired male and god, he was smoking under the moonlight. He asked, making it appear as thought his mouth wasn't watering at the sight, "You waiting long?" 

"Obviously, what took you so long?"

Atsumu hummed in response, not wanting to answer his question. He was awfully bad at lying and saying something would allow Sakusa to read him like a book. So instead, he grabbed Sakusa's gloved hand and led him into the forest near the building they were staying at.

"You guys were better at volleyball than I'd imagined," Sakusa muttered while Atsumu led them into the forest. He tried not to flinch at the small rustling and howls he heard along the paved path, but failed miserably. "Do you know where your taking me?"

"Thank you and I have no clue." Atsumu answered, still gripping onto his hand.

"God, I still can't believe we're going to be together for around a month.."

Atsumu snickered, "It's a bit hard to take in, huh!"

"But, we'll adjust in a few days," Sakusa paused, "and don't strain yourself."

"What?"

"Whenever you lose a game you start blaming yourself like a huge dummy. It's real sad. Your on a team, if you lose it's all the members faults, and it's a practice match. It's not even an official match."

Atsumu resulted in quicken his pace and putting a bounce in it. He flailed his arms and a slight smirk rested on his face. "I don't have to worry about that stuff now because if it does happen you'll be there to remind me!"

The ends of Sakusa's mouth curled upward as he made his way to Atsumu. He planted a small peck on his cheek. "Your right."
