Remember That (SakuAtsu Fluff/Crack/Angst)

Unexpected

About three years into playing with MSBY, Hinata joined after returning from Brazil.

Atsumu still got questions about his boyfriend, but he only answered them with a small chuckle and a sly, "Ya'll see."

Atsumu was getting anxious about Sakusa's return to Japan even though he still had a full year before the spiker returned.

Their daily calls had lessened a bit because Sakusa needed to study for his exams, and neither of them wanted him to fail and have to repeat a year.

On this particular day, the MSBY volleyball team were about to start training when coach Foster called their attention.

Atsumu ignored the way Bokuto and Hinata were looking at him and snickering as they gathered around their coach at the entrance to the gym.

Atsumu was barely paying attention to the coach's words, he was just fidgeting with a volleyball, lost in his own thoughts, until he heard something that stopped his internal thoughts completely.

"And I'm proud to introduce our new member, Sakusa Kiyoomi," coach Foster announced with a grin before walking out of the gym.

The team erupted in gasps and cheers as the best spiker in Japan just joined their team.

Bokuto and Hinata just watched as Atsumu froze, his gaze locked on the door as his boyfriend walked into the gym.

Sakusa looked around and greeted everyone, he was wearing a mask but Atsumu could tell he was smiling.

Atsumu took a shocked step backwards as he dropped the volleyball in his hands, "O-Omi...?"

Sakusa's attention snapped towards Atsumu, the spiker's eyes widening before softening at the sight of his boyfriend.

Sakusa gazed at his boyfriend with starry eyes, though only Bokuto and Hinata noticed it.

To Sakusa, Atsumu looked even more beautiful than he did in high school, it was hard to believe, but now that Sakusa was staring at him, he knew it was true.

When Atsumu had told him that he'd let Bokuto do his hair for him, Sakusa had originally thought he was insane, but now he knew that it was definitely the right decision, Atsumu looked amazing.

Sakusa reluctantly turned his gaze away from Atsumu and greeted his new team members before finally going to greet the blonde.

The team stayed silent as they watched their new member move towards their setter.

Everyone except Bokuto and Hinata gaped as Sakusa, the man who supposedly had a phobia of germs, pulled Atsumu into a tight hug.

"Hey, Atsu," Sakusa whispered just soft enough to not be heard by everyone in the gym.

Atsumu blinked, his honey-colored eyes glossy with tears, "Omi... Yer early..."

Sakusa smiled, "I worked extra hard to graduate early," he said as he pulled away, his hands trailing down Atsumu's arms.

Atsumu giggled lightly, "Yer such a dork, Omi," he said quietly.

"Your dork," Sakusa replied with a smirk before his expression faded into something more along the lines of complete awe as he took in his boyfriend's appearance, "You look even more beautiful than before I went to America..." He whispered, earning a shy, barely noticeable blush from Atsumu.

Sakusa let go of Atsumu, before turning to the team, "So are we going to start training?" He asked expectantly.

Meian blinked a few times before finally answering, "Yeah, let's start with stretches, everyone pair up," he said and everyone did as they were told.

"Hey, Tsumu, wanna be partne-"

"Atsu, let's partner up, we haven't spoken in forever," Sakusa said suddenly, cutting off Inunaki's question before he could even complete it.

Atsumu smiled at Sakusa, not even taking note of Inunaki's question.

Inunaki sighed as he watched Sakusa walk over to Atsumu and they began stretching.

Inunaki felt a hand on his shoulder and he looked up to see Adriah smiling at him, "Come on, Shion, let's get started," he said, causing the libero to go red in the face.

Not far away, Meian and Barnes were watching and snickering.

After stretching, the team began to train.

"I'll admit, that set wasn't bad, Miya," Sakusa said with a grin as he took in the shocked expression on his boyfriend's face.

Atsumu scoffed and chuckled bitterly, "Ohoho- No ya don't, that set was perfect an' ya know it, Sa-ku-sa," Atsumu replied, mirroring the grin that had previously been on Sakusa's face as the spiker's expression twisted in disgust.

Sakusa fake gagged, "I hate it, never call me that again," he replied as Atsumu burst out laughing.

"As long as ya keep callin' me Miya, I'm gonna call ya whatever I want," Atsumu grinned, purposefully mimicking the words that Sakusa had said to him at training camp and ultimately triggered the panic attack that led them to start dating in the first place.

Sakusa chuckled and shook his head fondly, "Okay, Atsu, okay..." He said with a small smile on his lips.

During this whole interaction, the rest of the team were just staring while Bokuto and Hinata fangirled not too far away.

After training, Sakusa and Atsumu walked to the setter's apartment.

They entered the apartment, and Atsumu locked the door behind them right before he felt a strong pair of hands grip his waist and turn him around.

Atsumu's cheeks heated up instantly as Sakusa pressed their lips together, his arms wrapping around the setter's waist and pulling him closer.

Atsumu melted into the kiss as he wrapped his arms around Sakusa's neck and deepened the kiss.

Both of them had missed the feeling of the other's lips against their own, the long-awaited kiss was gentle and slow as both Sakusa and Atsumu held onto each other, neither wanting to let go.

"I missed you so much, Atsu," Sakusa whispered against Atsumu's lips as he pulled away and pressed their foreheads together.

Atsumu smiled softly and leaned his head down on Sakusa's shoulder, basking in the feeling of warmth and comfort that came from being held safely and securely in his boyfriend's strong arms.

"I missed ya too, Omi," Atsumu replied, earning a fond smile from Sakusa who ran his fingers through the setter's hair.

Sakusa kissed the top of Atsumu's head, not failing to notice the soft, fluffliness of his hair.
