chapter thirty seven: bleeding heart
After the night at Rhodes' house, you and Atsumu go back to your house the following afternoon. You spend the whole day with him until it begins to get late and he gets ready to leave.
"Hey, Atsumu?" you call to him in a calm voice, trying to keep yourself put together in front of him so he doesn't seem so worried.
"Yeah?" he replies almost instantly. It's quite obvious what he wants you to say.
You don't move toward him, you just keep your distance as he stands before you. It'd be smart to stop, to let him leave and go home. He's been here for so long taking care of you. He's probably burnt out. Atsumu watches you intently as your lips part and you pause. Both of you are at a loss for words.
"What'd you want to ask?" he finally speaks up, breaking the awkward silence.
You hesitate a bit as you run through a thousand different phrases of how to ask him the simple question 'stay,' knowing whatever you say, he could still say no.
"Are you sure you're okay?" he then continues as his eyebrow lifts up in worry.
"Fine. I'm fine," you shake your head and take a step toward him.
"Okay, then why are you being so weird," he laughs as he holds out his hand and grabs onto your arm. He pulls you forward and brings you into his chest, holding you close. "Can I stay?" he then whispers. You look up at him with wide eyes, half happy that he asked the question for you, but also worried he only said that to make you feel better.
"You've already done so much," you say to him just like you have five times already today.
"I know, but I'm worried about you, Y/N. I know you don't like being alone after something like this," he whispers. "I want to stay."
You shut your eyes softly as you nuzzle up against his chest. You can hear the comforting beat of his heart, and he's so warm, too. How could you ever say no to him?
"Please do," you sigh.
Atsumu smiles as he runs reaches his hand to your cheek. You feel a soft breeze as your eyes meet with his once more. It's then that you notice his fingers curling around yours, his thumb softly rubbing across your wrist.
A moment feels like an hour as Atsumu leans close to you. Kissing him is heaven to you. But Atsumu knows that kissing is for the present- what's more important is to concern himself with the future instead. He might not know how to bring it up, but it's almost all he thinks about.
As far as you're concerned, however, time stops when his lips meet yours. Your heart pounds in your chest and, as the kiss deepens, your knees get weaker. You can only focus on how soft his lips are and how addictive he is to all of your senses.
Atsumu now begins to back away from your front door. He lets his hands run down your sides and slips them under the hem of your shirt. Goosebumps rise on your skin as his warm fingers touch you so delicately.
