10. Team's Baby

Sakusa frowns and looks in Atsumu's direction,"we're not boyfriends?"

Atsumu blinked,"well! Ya never asked me properly..."

The air grew thick, the rest of the team stealing awkward glances at each other as they watched what was abut to unfold. To cut the tension, Meian cleared his throat, snapping the couple back to reality.

Atsumu gave Kiyooomi a side glance, his eyes indicating tha they'd talk about it once the rest of the team left.

"Sorry, uhm, so tomorrow at practice we ask coach about this sleepover then?" Kiyoomi said, trying to divert the team's attention away.

The team got the hint and nodded in response.

"Wait! Maybe we should all come into practice tomorrow with all of our stuff! Sleeping bags, snacks and games! What's coach going to do? Kick us out? Tell us no?" Bokuto suggested proudly.

"Exactly that, Bokuto. He will not give a shit if you've brought your whole house to the gym," Meian said with a sigh, earning a disappointed groan from Bokuto,"he'll probably say yes to Shoyo,though."

Hinata's eyes widened as he pointed to himself,"why would he say yes to me?"

"You're everyone's favourite, no doubt Coach would at least be a bit more considerate if our team's baby asked him," Meian said, shrugging as Hinata's eyes (somehow) widened even more.

"You did NOT just call me the team's baby,"Hinata gasped dramatically, clutching his hand over his chest.

The team laughed at Hinata's expression, managing to snap a few pictures to put on every single one fo their team's social media platforms.

Minutes turned into hours and the team's spontaneous hangout at Sakusa Kiyoomi's appartment was coming to an end as, one-by-one, the members began rolling(not literally) out of the door. Some of them decided to part ways on their own, some decided to go out for a bite and one of them (quite obviously Bokuto) got picked up by his loving husband.

This left Sakusa and Atsumu alone together in Sakusa's very nice appartment.

"So..." the pair say in unison, Kiyoomi's eyes concentrated firmly onto the ground.

"You go first," Atsumu says sweetly.

Kiyoomi nods and holds Atsumu's hands between his own.

"I'm quite clueless about feelings and romantic things but I'm definitely sure that I want to be your boyfriend and I hope you reciprocate ," Kiyoomi says awkwardly, his face painfully red and his ears so bright, it mimicked the crimson throw pillows on his couch.

Before Atsumu could reply, the pair heard the toilet flush and the feint humming of Hinata's bathroom song coming out from Kiyoomi's ensuite.

"Hinata? What are you still doing here?" Kiyoomi asked, slightly annoyed at the sudden interruption.

"Oh! I had to take a shit, my bad Omi-san. I'll head out now, my boy- Kageyama's waiting for me at the konbini near by. Gotta blast!" Hinata said as he rushed towards the door.

Kiyoomi and Atsumu followed him out.

"Your Kageyama?" Atsumu asked teasingly.

With a roll of his eyes, Hinata shut the door.

After Hinata's departure, the pair walked back to the couch and sat next to each other, knee to knee, with Kiyoomi still not making eye contact with Atsumu.
