i want a girlfriend! miya atsumu

bystanders of a silly love story

suzume is currently in a bit of a pickle. she
hated lying; though, one could argue what
she's doing isn't exactly lying... but she feels
terrible that she's in the middle of a situation
she could flip entirely on her own. she could
tell you that atsumu does like you, but then
that would be unfair to nikou and perhaps
even you and atsumu altogether.

you'd be put in a situation where you'd
have to choose whose heart to break, and
it would be unfair to even let you know
about atsumu's feelings considering all
that you've been telling suzume.

it's tough, and now it's suzume who's
feeling like 'relationships r scary'; though,
perhaps that's only the process of getting
into one.

sakusa
"what's got your brows
furrowed?"

sakusa looks up from his phone to give
his pacing girlfriend his attention. he's
leaned back against the headboard of
her bed, watching as suzume can't
seem to settle in one place.

suzume
"a part of me feels bad."

suzume
"and we've had a conversation
on this topic before."

suzume
"but i can't help but feel
like i could easily solve or
could have solved this
whole situation."

suzume
"well, i shouldn't because
it isn't my business in the
first place."

suzume
"but atsumu's still my friend!
well, nikou is, too! but--"

suzume lets out a loud sigh and cups
her cheeks.

suzume
"y/n doesn't know that atsumu
likes her and i could have easily
told her that he does right from
the beginning. but i didn't! and
now atsumu's all upset. even
y/n is feeling a bit confused.
and i don't know."

sakusa lets out a small sigh and places his
phone down on suzume's night stand. he
decides to get comfy, clicking off the lamp
that was providing light in her room. as
soon as it's dark, he sinks down into her
bed and pulls her covers over his body
so that he could get comfy.

this makes his girlfriend scoff lightly, but
it's enough to get her to finally join him.

"you're not in the wrong,
ume."

sakusa lets suzume pull the covers off of
him so she could tuck herself beneath them
and right by his side.

"any one of us could have
easily told y/n that atsumu
did like her back."

"but nobody did."

suzume
"do you feel a little bit
guilty that you didn't?"

sakusa shakes his head lightly.

suzume
"kiyo?"

"sorry, i shook my head."

the two share a soft giggle.

"i don't feel guilty because...
i don't know, i guess it's
because it's not my business.
if atsumu wanted to let y/n
know, then he should have."

"i'm not going to play more
than a support—bystander
even—role in his silly slow-
burn-i-wish-it-was-friends-
to-lovers-right-away-but-of-
course-we-miscommunicated
-and-now-i'm-sad romance."

suzume laughs loudly and slaps his arm.
sakusa chuckles, amused suzume even let
him ramble on that much just describing
what kind of romance trope atsumu's
current situation is.

"i've got my own relationship
to worry about, anyway."

"and reading week."

"what did you want to do?"

suzume smiles.

suzume
"well!, i do want to see
everyone before they all
leave for their osaka trip."

suzume
"should we do something
as a group since you and i
won't have friends starting
wednesday?"

sakusa scoffs.

"you aren't my only friend."

suzume
"oh?"

suzume
"so who are you going to
hangout with then if you're
not going to be making
plans with me?"

sakusa rolls his eyes and suzume doesn't
need any source of light to know he did so.
she laughs, gently shoving him which makes
him chuckle.

"motoya?"

suzume
"he's literally out of town
for his own reading week."

sakusa grumbles.

"your younger brother, then,
i guess... when he's out of
school."

"i guess i could also take my
niece and nephew somewhere.
pick them up from school or
whatever."

suzume snickers.

suzume
"wow. you have to wait for
your friends to get out of
school, huh?"

sakusa doesn't fight the smile forming
on his lips and shakes his head. he turns
to suzume and decides to instead smother
her in his chest.

suzume
"aH!"

"whatever."

suzume huffs, pulling away from sakusa
which makes him laugh. he lets her keep
her distance, only slightly able to make
out the glare she's giving him. 

"let's plan something then."

"just our smaller friend group.
nothing with nikou so that
atsumu doesn't feel bad."

suzume sighs and settles back down by
sakusa's side. the two lay shoulder to
shoulder, looking up at the ceiling to
occupy their gaze. 

suzume
"yeah. i was thinking the
same thing."

suzume
"maybe i'll ask him to make
sure!"
