Atsumu sweats and pulls on the collar of his shirt to loosen it as he's right outside your door.

'Just knock,' he tells himself then takes a gulp before knocking. You make your way to the door when you hear his knock. Before you open the door, you shake your wrists--trying to shake off the nerves you have been feeling since last night and this morning.

"Hey, Atsumu," you say with an emotionless face. However, to Atsumu, it's called your innocent face. Atsumu looks you up and down and notices that you are wearing a midi skirt with your hair actually done--curled. His face heats up.

"H-hey," Atsumu stutters. 'Why am I stuttering?' he scolds himself then shakes his head. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, let me just go grab my bag," you say and walk back to your room. When you escape him, you place your hands on your cheeks. 'Friends do this. They hang out; it's normal,' you think to yourself then pause. 'Then why is my heart beating so quickly?' You then walk to the doorway where Atsumu is fanning himself. "Are you okay?" you ask.

"I-I'm fine! Don't worry about it. It's just a little hot."

"Oh. Would you like wate--"

"No, I'm good. Let's just go," he interrupts you and pulls on your wrist out the door. The contact feels like a burn on your wrist but you try to act calm and lock the door.

The walk to the carnival is not long, but it felt like forever since you and Atsumu hardly spoke. However, when you guys reach the location, your face lights up like a kid's. Atsumu notices this and can't help but smile. You hadn't gone to a carnival for so long, but you loved to ride rides, play games, and eat the food. Your eyes are specifically fixed on the bumper cars though; it was a child's ride, but that didn't mean that it was one of your favorites. Suddenly, Atsumu grabs your wrist once more which causes you to look at him.

"I already bought us wristbands," he says while securing it on your tiny wrist. "Let's go on the bumper cars!" Your eyes gleam like a little kid's once more.

"Okay!" You happily nod.

-

"Atsumu," you call out.

"Hmm?" Atsumu hums as his cotton candy melts in his mouth.

"Let's go on that one!" You excitedly point at the largest roller coaster there. Atsumu looks at the direction you are pointing. This causes Atsumu to choke on his candy as you immediately pat his back.

"Are you okay?"

Atsumu catches his breath then gulps.

"I don't thi--" as he's about to reject, he turns to look at your puppy eyes.

"You don't want to go?" you disappointedly say and push your lips together.

Guilt suddenly flows through his body.

"No! I was going to say that I don't want to go until I finish my cotton candy!" he comes up with an excuse. Grabbing some of his pink cotton candy off of his stick, he holds it towards your lips. "If you want to go, you should help me finish it." You blush then happily nod at his suggestion. You attempt to grab the candy from his fingers but he shakes his head. "Open your mouth," Atsumu bravely says.

"I can feed myself, Atsumu. I'm fully capable of doing s--"

Atsumu interrupts you by putting it in your mouth.

"Shhh. You talk too much," he laughs and continues eating as you blush. Truth was, Atsumu is trying to calm down his nerves. 'You can do this. Do it for F/n-chan.' Unfortunately for Atsumu, you guys finish eating in 6 minutes.
