chapter thirty nine: morning glory
TIMESKIP ~ ABOUT ONE WEEK LATER
"Rhodes!" Atsumu shouts as he struggles to carry three cardboard boxes in front of his face, "Yo, can you get the door?!"
"It's already open and I'm behind you, dumbass," Rhodes responds with a sigh.
"Chill out, I've got it!" you say to the two of them as you rush over to the door. "Here, go 'head in."
"Thanks, babe," Atsumu smiles at you as he walks past, but just as he does, he nearly trips over his two feet.
"Yeah, nice and smooth," Rhodes scoffs behind him. "You're really impressin' her. Now can we please go inside? This shit's heavy!"
"Yeah, no shit!" Atsumu grumbles. "And you should be a bit more appreciative! I don't need to help you move into my girlfriend's house."
Rhodes lets out a huff as he puts down the heavy boxes. "I'm sorry," he grumbles. "I hate doing this stuff. It makes me fucking anxious."
"Same here," you empathize. "Not to mention the clutter afterward..."
"I don't even wanna think about that," Rhodes responds as he holds up a hand to stop you.
"Come on, let's just bring the rest of the stuff in," Atsumu smiles at you as he gently slides his hand in with yours. "We're almost done, and the quicker we do it, the quicker we can get it over with."
"You're right," you nod back. "We've only got a few more trips left anyway."
The three of you try to make the most of the tedious situation. You laugh and sing together as you pull all of the boxes into the house and begin to sort them out. Somehow, a few hours later, you find yourself laughing and dancing with Atsumu in the middle of your messy living room. Atsumu smiles down at you as he spins you around and dips you backwards, holding you safely in his arms.
You smile up at him until it fades into a more serious look. "Thanks, Tsumu," you whisper to him. "For everything," you add as you reach up to the back of his head and pull him down to kiss him.
After the kiss, he stands you up and pulls you close to his chest. "I'd do anything for you, Y/N. You don't need to thank me."
Before you can respond, Rhodes (like always) comes in the room with his perfect timing. "Alright, break it up. Save the flirting for the bedroom. God, I hope these walls are soundproof."
"Says you," you tease him. "I don't even want to know what kind of stuff you'll be doing in there."
"And, honey, that's for the best. You better hope you never find out," he grins softly.
"Gross," Atsumu shakes his head. "Can we move on?"
"Yeah," you smile as you take his hand, "let's talk about dinner. What should we do? I'm starving."
"I dunno," Atsumu shrugs, "you guys tell me."
"Well, I think Rhodes should pick. It is his special day, after all," you sing.
"Oh please," he rolls his eyes at you, "you're just saying that so you don't have to pick it out. You can't fool me with fake kindness, Miss Y/N. I see straight through you."
"Well..." you hum hopefully. "Any suggestions then?"
"Oh fine," he sighs, giving in to you. "Pizza. It's nice and simple."
"That's good with me," you smile up at Atsumu, "I have had pizza in a long time!"
"Can't remember the last time I've had it either," he responds. "I'll place the order."
"'K, and I'll set everything up," you offer. "Rhodes, why don't you take a break? It's been a long day."
"Thanks, I'll definitely take you up on that. Call me when food's here, alright?" he smiles softly.
"Will do!" you wave.
A few minutes after Atsumu makes the call, the pizza arrives and you call Rhodes back down into the kitchen. You have everything all set up wonderfully for your first meal with your new roommate and boyfriend. The three of you chat like old friends and the time passes in a flash. Once you're done eating, you pop open a bottle of champagne and pour three glasses. The alcohol flows just as quickly as the laughs pour out of your three mouths.
"To be honest with you, Y/N, I never ever thought we'd end up like this," Rhodes giggles.
"Oh? Why not?"
Rhodes shrugs in response. "I just didn't think we'd become friends like we are now. But I'm really appreciative of everything you've done for me."
"Well I'm glad you see it that way," you smile back at him. "I'm glad we're friends now, too."
"And as for you," he hums, turning towards Atsumu now, "I'm real sorry for all the shit I said about you and Osamu. I thought I hated you after meeting you for the first time. I really only knew the syndicate through Nohebi and Y/N's father, and I judged you both wrongly. Even though Osamu's not here, I'm sorry to both of you. I wish I could tell him that, personally, but-"
"It's perfect," Atsumu says softly. "Thank you. I'm glad we're able to get along now."
"Me too," Rhodes nods. "I apologize for judging you so quickly."
"Water under the bridge."
After your meal, you and Atsumu clean up the dishes and allow Rhodes to go back to his room to set up whatever he has left.
"Well I think that went well," Atsumu smiles as he dries his hands with a nearby towel.
"I agree," you nod. "I think Rhodes is pretty happy. He's less crappy, too."
"That's for sure," he chuckles as he places the towel back on the rack. He then walks up to you and carefully places his arm around your waist. "How are you feeling though?"
"What do you mean?" you ask softly.
"I mean, you know, physically. What Kuguri did to your face. And everything else mentally, too," he tells you.
"Oh that," you sigh as you look away from him. "I'm fine. But I'll feel a lot better if you stay the night."
"Really?" he hums softly as he pulls you closer to his chest. "I guess I can stick around for you."
"Mmm, thanks, Tsumu," you respond as you reach your hand up to his hair and pull him into a kiss. "I've missed being alone with you."
"I have too..."
