Phobias- Sakusa x Atsumu

Chapter 18- On the court

Atsumu POV

"LEFT WING"

My teammates did call outs as we bumped the ball to each other. I made quick eye contact with Osamu, and all of our spikers ran up to the net. I was going to set.

I positioned myself under the volleyball. I eyed it through the diamond shape my hands naturally created for a set. And-

BOOM-
BAM

"And Inarizaki gets another easy point!"

"Let's go Miya!" Kita came up to Osamu and me and we high five each other.
"Heh, easy work." I let my smug smirk out as I glanced at the opposite team.

"Oi, focus dumbass." Osamu glares at me. I rolled my eyes and caught the volleyball before going to the back of the court to serve.
The other team stiffened.

Hm, what type of serve should I do? Regular over hand? Jump serve? Float? Jump float?

The usual ran through my head.

The whistle blared and I sighed before backing up more and throwing the ball high into the air. Quick steps and with the right timing I-

BAM

Beep beep

"Inarizaki wins this set!"

"Nice." Aran gives me his thumbs up as usual.

After the practice match

I sat on the bench and wiped the sweat away with my hand towel. The other team lost miserably. Our team has been training hard for the Spring tournament. I scrolled through my phone, doing my usual "research."

"You're looking through the articles about Itachiyama Institute again?" Kita says over my shoulder. I jumped and I glanced at Osamu and Suna as they heard what Kita said. They gave me the glare.

"They are a scary team, after all they have one of the top three aces, Sakusa Kiyoomi." Kita says. Hearing his name made my heart flutter.

"He's not that scary." I rolled my eyes. Kita only stares and pat my back.

"Well yeah, that's because you're our genius setter."

"Dont get him even more arrogant." Osamu crosses his arms. "And, didn't I say that you should focus on training? To make up for all that lost time during summer?" I could practically hear my ancestors call me as I was going to die if Osamu nags me even more about the summer.

"We have time Osamu, plus I just got back in the mood." I did a fake smile towards Osamu.

"Alright, lets get going kids! We're heading back to Hyogo Prefecture!" My coach yelled, catching our attention.

"Yes Coach." We all said tired from the match.

Next Day

"U-um...Miya I-I...I LIKE YOU!"
I get these everyday. A girl was now in front of me doing a perfect 90 degree angle as she confesses her love for me.

I sighed.
"Sorry, but I already have someone I like." I said as I lifted her head up. "Dont feel sad though, maybe you'll have a chance with my brother." I winked at the girl as I laughed inside thinking about all the girls I've redirected to my twin brother. I then walked away, leaving the flustered one.

"E-eh? Someone he likes?!" She said.

"Does Miya really have someone he likes?!"

"Which one?"

"The blonde one you dumbass!"

"Wow, I never thought he would like someone."

"Who's the lucky girl?!"

"She must be very pretty if he likes her!"

"What if...what if it's Tchibana?!"

"Ohhh, that really pretty girl from 2-3 class?!"

"She's so popular!"

"It has to be her!"

I silently groaned at how bad the girls behind me gossiped. Rumors were spreading that I liked someone, which I don't mind. But as soon as they assume it's someone else and not Omi-kun, it gets my blood boiling.
(chill bro, they don't even know you gay 💀)

After school
"Miya, set me the ball." Ojiro said. Kita throws a volleyball my way and I quickly set it and aimed in the general area where Oniro's hand hit.

BAM

A perfect line shot.
I was feeling pumped up for the upcoming Spring Tournament. Now that I know that Osamu and Suna are dating, looking at them made me realize how obvious they were. Every chance they get they were next to each other, always touching, and their faces are always closer than normal.
Made me a bit jealous.

I wasn't fully comfortable yet, but let's say I've accepted it, my "phobia" as they say.
We were only a few months away from the tournament, and there was a certain someone I was looking forward to.

Sakusa POV

"I GOT IT!" Komori yells as he dives for the ball.
"It's up!" I ran up to the net, using my leg power and pushed off the ground. With a swift motion, Izuna sets the ball, and using my flexible wrist, I slammed the ball on the other side of the court.

"Nice kill!" My teammates on the sidelines cheered.
"Alright, time to do three laps around the school, hurry up!" The coach yells. The underclassmen groans before jogging.

"Kiyoomi!" I heard my cousin's voice catch up to me. "Who are you most excited to go up against?!"

"What kind of stupid question is that?" I grumbled.

"Come on! Many news outlets and the media wants to know!" Komori joked.

"Well then tell them to fuck off." I said in my monotone voice. I picked up the speed, leaving Komori behind.
"Ah- WAIT KIYOOMI!"

The only thing that was in my mind, was the spring tournament. And the team I wanted to play against, was Inarizaki.
