off the court | MSBY

5. Head over heels

The MSBY Black Jackals are currently sat side by side in a small ramen shop a few streets away from their gym, all eating their noodles in silence – well, good food makes even the loudest people shut up so it's easy to assume that the food is that good.

However, this silence was interrupted with the vineboom sound effect resonating out of Hinata Shoyo's phone, soon followed on by a boisterous 'holy shit'.

He had gottena text.

Shocked by the sudden noise, a noodle had gotten caught in the back of Sakusa Kiyoomi's throat and he was now choking, with Bokuto slapping his back in attempt of stopping it.

"Sho-kun, what's up?" Bokuto asked, still slapping the now in-pain Sakusa Kiyoomi,"oh my bad, bro."

Sakusa sat their quietly, unable to move due to the aggressive slapping on his back – word of advice from Sakusa Kiyoomi: 'Do not, I repeat, do NOT let a volleyball player slap you or you will be battered and bruised for the next decade.'

"OIKAWA'S VISITING!" Hinata exclaimed, now earning the attention from everyone in the ramen shop, including the staff.

"Like Oikawa Tooru? The guy who plays for Argentina?"

"YES CAPTAIN, THAT OIKAWA. HE'S COMING BACK FOR A VISIT AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS!" Hinata said excitedly,"Iwaizumi-san messaged me saying that Oikawa's gunna be staying with his family in Miyagi for a few weeks before coming over here!"

Atsumu piped in,"I've always wanted to have a good talk with this Oikawa guy. He's.. interestin' and stupidly good lookin'. It pisses me off."

Somewhat recovered, Kiyoomi spoke,"why does that piss you off?"

"I'll be humbled standin' next to that guy. I'm way uglier than him," Atsumu sighed and continued eating his ramen.

"You're stupid," Kiyoomi said plainly, earning a confused look from Atsumu.

"Whatcha mean, Omi?"

Sakusa put his chopsticks down gently and looked at Atsumu, leaning in slightly and observing his face which resulted in a very flustered Miya Atsumu.

"You've got good facial harmony. Sure, you may not be the type of handsome Oikawa's classified as but.." he trailed off as a small grin crept up to his face,"you're gorgeous in your own way, Miya."

Tears welled up in Atsumu's eyes, blinking them away frantically whilst sniffling.

"What the fuck Omi, you can't be all sweet 'n sappy like that when we're in public! I've got an image to uphold!" Atsumu sobs.

"Exactly why I said it, we've got to show your fans how much of a crybaby their Miya-senshu is," Kiyoomi smirked, signalling towards Inunaki who had filmed the whole scenario.

"EVIL! Yer evil! The both of ya!" Atsumu whined,"so all you said was a lie?"

"No, you're not ugly, Miya," Kiyoomi stated before continuing to eat.

Atsumu POV

Gorgeous and not ugly aren't the same things Kiyoomi.

I know that what he said was a joke but oh my god Kiyoomi you're making it really difficult for me to not keep falling for you. Please stop playing with my heart.

Am I not being obvious enough with my feelings? Does he not like me back so he's joking around to try and push me away? Does he like me back but can't admit it? Kiyoomi, tell me. Please.

Sniffling, I wipe the remains of my tears away and slouch downwards.

I just want to go home.

To outsiders it seems like I'm just being dramatic and well I kind of am but they wouldn't understand. I've loved Sakusa Kiyoomi since highschool and these repressed feelings are going to keep bubbling up everytime someone even mentions his name.
