A Writer's Experience (sakuatsu story)

Chapter 2: Difficult

The next day came and Kiyoomi walked up to class with masks and gloves like usual then sat on the corner seat next to a big window on the left.

"Omi-kun! Good Morning!" Atsumu greets him as he was taking out his school supplies from his bag.

"Good Morning.." He greets back.

"Say, ya wanna go to the cafe later at lunch? I don't wanta be a third wheel since my friends keep on remindin' me 'm single" Atsumu complained.

"Uh-.. But isn't it far?" "Nope! Just a 5 minute walk!" "sure? I'll see if I got time" And right on queue, the teacher walks in.

"Eat with ya later?" "Sure." Atsumu smiles at him and goes back to his seat which was just right in front of him.

Kiyoomi smiled under his mask as he glances at Atsumu who was listening attentively as the teacher speaks.

-

"The lesson was so hard!" Atsumu whines as he and Kiyoomi were talking.

"It was math...?" "Exactly. Hard. I didn't understand half of it!" Kiyoomi just chuckles at Atsumu, making the latter cross his arms and pout.

"If yer just gonna laugh at me, I can just ignore ya ye know?" "Sorry, Sorry." Kiyoomi says with small laughs in between.

"I'll tutor you if you want." Kiyoomi saw Atsumu face light up, "Really?" He nodded, "Yay! I'm so lucky ta have ya as my friend!" He exclaimed.

Kiyoomi's heart beats at the compliment yet disappointed to just be called a 'friend'. He wanted to be more. But for now, he had to build up courage to do that.

-

Atsumu talked with his friends before he ran up to Kiyoomi with a smile who was at the classroom's door.

"Le's go?" "You sure that they agree on me eating with you instead of them?"

"Mhm! Besides, I'll prob'ly just complain over there. Don't worry tho, I asked permission!" Atsumu reassures him.

"Le's just go already!" Atsumu says.

He dragged Kiyoomi again like yesterday to the cafe shop. Atsumu's probably gonna be ordering the same order of chocolate donut and milkshake.

-

Lunch wasn't really a difference from last time. The only thing different was that these two guys were also studying. Well, Atsumu was. Kiyoomi was just teaching him.

"So... Is the answer.. uh-.. twenty-seven?" Atsumu answers, not-so-confidently.

"Correct." "Aw- I really tho-... Wait what?" Sakusa just smiles at Atsumu.

"What didja say?" A smile from Atsumu slowly starts to form.

"I said. You're correct." Atsumu sighed from relief then smiled.

The alarm from Kiyoomi's phone rang. Indicating that they needed to go back.

"Aw man! I didn't get ta eat my donut!" Kiyoomi chuckles again. "Just eat it as we get there." He grabs his bag as he stood up.

Atsumu did the same, "I guess that's a good idea.." He mumbled. Atsumu grabbed the donut from the table, both thanked the staff and happily left the cafe.

Atsumu ate his donut as both walked back to their school.

Sakusa could feel his heart pounding second after second with Atsumu. Seeing him smile was a sight that made his heart flutter.

"Donut Icing" Sakusa says when Atsumu finishes his donut. "Huh?" Atsumu looks at him.

"You have donut icing on your cheeks." "Where?" Sakusa rolls his eyes, "Over here"

He stopped in his tracks, grabbing Atsumu's face and removing the icing from his mouth. He swear, he felt like his heart was panicking from being so close to him.

"There... It's clean" He mumbles. He thought he saw Atsumu's face turn pink but that was probably hallucinations from his panicking heart.

"Uh- Sangkyu.." Atsumu says, "Let's just go before we're late" Kiyoomi continues to walk to their school while Atsumu followed.

Kiyoomi swore he felt like he was in those cringy rom-coms on television.

-

Kiyoomi and Atsumu ran to their seats, almost not making it on time when the teacher comes in class a few seconds later.

Sakusa could hear Atsumu whispering to the person on his right. His name was Oikawa Tooru. At least that's what he remembers.

He could feel his heart squeeze tight when he saw Atsumu blush. A visible and noticable blush.

He could just wish that he could make him blush like that.
