THERIDEHOMEFEELS off like I thought it was going to be. It feels like something's going on that I didn't know about that I should've known about. Like if I got a text about something but I left my phone at home.
I take a quick glance and find that I did leave it at home.
That's probably what my worry was this whole time at work.
But still, when I park my car in the driveway of my lake home I still feel odd about it. I fumble for my keys and stick them in the keyhole, finally entering my house for the rest of the day. Just like I expected, dark and quiet.
I huff a sigh of relief and shuffle over to my couch to read the book I've been slowly working on.
But then a door creaks open and a man walks out. It looks as if he had just taken a shower cause of the way he holds a towel over his head to dry his hair.
All the things I said that made you think everything was alright flew right out the door and straight into the bottom of the lake as i sprung up from the couch, grabbing a pencil off the nightstand and pointing it at the man threateningly.
He was definitely spooked by me —not my pencil though— but he didn't really do anything.
"Who are you?" He finally asks.
"This is MY lake cabin, I should be asking the questions" I say back trying to inch back onto the couch.
"This is yours?" He asks me surprised, "but Atsumu said that—"
"Let me cut you off, you said Atsumu?"
I'm kinda pissed rn
"Yeah.. he said I could stay here for a little bit" he explains.
Now that I know that it's Atsumu's fault, it's starting to get hard to be angry at him at all. And very hard to ignore the sight of faint abs through his shirt.
"That dickwad" I grumble angrily.
"So should I leave?" The man asks moving the towel off his head so it's around his neck.
Why did Atsumu never say he had such a pretty friend?
"I don't feel like moving around anymore tonight" I say kicking my legs out onto the rest of the couch, "and Atsumu probably knows that I've seen you already and that I'm going to be mad so he won't be coming".
I give it a second to think about it.
"You can stay for some time" I decide, "what'd you come out here for anyways?"
"College and dealing with people is like a giant cinder block on my back but my hands are preoccupied so I can't do anything about it" he explains shuffling over to one of the armchairs in the room, "to put in simple terms, I wanted a break".
"This is why I didn't go to college" I mumble.
"You didn't, why?"
I shrug, "I don't know it just felt right where I was at the moment and so I stayed put"
"Huh"
"What makes college so exciting?" I shoot right back at him.
"Well despite me having the title of best libero in high school, I was able to choose a different path in my life and they kinda set you up for future jobs you may want to pursue. It's a whole thing" the man explains.
"You sound like my dad, talking about going to college" I complain, "talking about how I can do something better with my life instead of just working at the local grocery store"
"It's not his choice to make" he agrees.
"I think having a lake home is top tier" I finish off my rant, "who are you anyways?"
"Oh! My names Komori" he introduces himself, "I go to college with Atsumu and Sakusa".
"Sakusa, like Atsumu's friend or whatever?"
"Well that's a self-proclaimed title from Atsumu himself but yeah" Komori explains the whole thing. Sounds like Atsumu alright. He literally dragged him along to come see me at work and hear me say no. "And Sakusa is my cousin"
"Damn, you two are completely different"
"I get that a lot"
"It must be annoying, I'm sorry" I apologize.
"It's okay" he says quietly. I can't tell if he's upset or tired. And I won't know.
I pull out my phone, seeing a few texts from Atsumu in the old inarizaki group chat that he made on a whim.

Atsumu Captain!
[y/n]'s being mean again
And get this, she said that she didn't want to come to the inarizaki reunion with us. It truly says something
Kita Before we go any further, Miya, I am not your captain anymore
You don't need to refer to me as captain
Ojiro You just things really sad
Why'd you do that
Kita Don't get me wrong, I miss them too
Atsumu We're just going to ignore the fact that [y/n] was being mean to me??
Osamu Well deserved
Suna She's been mean to you since the first day
Grow some thicker skin
Atsumu But seriously
She's so rude to me
Bitch
Atsumu do you recognize the name Komori??
It must sound familiar
Atsumu Komori??
How do you know his name?
[oneattachment]
He's in my living room dickwad
Did you not think I would find him in my house?
Atsumu Sorryyyy
Osamu I told you that it wouldn't work
You should've just asked her for permission
She might've said yes
Atsumu No she wouldn't
She hates me!!
Next time, ask
I made an exception for him but it won't be all the time
Atsumu I was just helping a buddy out

I click off my phone in pure annoyance, placing it on the nightstand beside the couch. This is giving me a giant headache.
"Who was that?" Komori asks pointing to your phone, "you looked really angry at your phone".
