Mr President, ily (SakuAtsu)

Chapter 10: Sweet dream in a nightmare

Sakusa Pov:

Today was wednesday. I had now been dating Atsumu for three days. And in these three days I learned more about him than I had in two years. See for starters Atsumu was a lot more clingy than you would have expected him to be. Constantly trying to get my attention. Whether it was by answering some difficult question in class and turning around eager to see my reaction or trying to reach for my hand under the desk, he just always wanted my undivided focus. Another thing I learned was his use of emojis when he messages. And by use I mean using an emoji in every sentence at least once otherwise, he would just add one under it later. I couldn't help but think he was being silly for that. Yet at the same time it helped me understand what kind of person he was better.

And I had always loved categorising people, trying to understand their strengths, weaknesses, pros and cons as a person. It was all maths and science mixed with psychology. It also made navigating the world easier for me. Just watching it all take place as it passed me unfolding its secrets. Then after I had gotten a grasp of the people and place, I would talk. This usually shocked them for I became the exact person they most respected and liked, all thanks to the observations I had made. That was how I had gotten through middle school and had my teachers constantly on my side. It was also what made me the most suitable school president. I supposed.

Though as I said before I had learned a lot about Atsumu and there was no denying he had his own natural charms. He was handsome and bright, sarcastic and smart, all in his own right. People turned their heads just to see him speak as if he was the sun and they were all sunflowers, following his bright light wherever he be. If there was a class discussion going on he tended to be the one in the middle of it all. People just loved it when he gave them even the slightest bit of attention, and the girls from younger year levels were constantly asking him out. Though he rejected them giving the same excuse of needing to focus on school. I couldn't help but smirk at that. He obviously couldn't tell them he was dating me, but he wouldn't tell them he was available either.

Later I found out from Osamu, he had dated three girls in the past, and ended up being the one to break off all the relationships. Osamu had stated it was because Atsumu didn't really like how much attention they always wanted from him. I had laughed and told Osamu that Atsumu was always wanting attention, and that's probably why he couldn't handle giving it to others.

Breaking my train of thought, Atsumu waved in my direction, his voice light and cheerful "Hey Omi-Omi."

A few of the girls stared and whispered things like, 'when did they get so close' and 'I thought Saksusa hated him'. Atsumu ignored their words and instead pulled a seat beside my desk, so he could sit across from me. "You want to eat lunch with me, I found a really nice spot." He looked at me, his brown hazelnut eyes wide and seeking approval. He was pretty cute when he made such simple requests.

I nodded my head. "Yes, I'll eat with you Atsumu."

He grinned his eyes smiling, as his hand reached for my own under the table out of everyone's watchful gaze. I was wearing gloves so I didn't really mind him fiddling with my fingers. And at this point I had gotten used to his habits. He liked physical contact yet he was dating a 'germaphobe' it was pretty amusing. "The bell is going to go soon, let's go." I said.

He let go of my hand and stood up waiting for me to do the same. Before we walked out together to change our inside shoes.

"Hurry up Sakusa, you're so slow." He frowned.

I looked at him and raised an eyebrow, as I finished tying my shoelace. "You really have the patience of a child." He had already grabbed his lunch and was still waiting for me to grab my own.
