Centimeters Between Us

Week Three...part 3

Sakusa groans louder into the phone.

Sakusa: "You're laughing too much..."

Komori: "I know, I'm sorry...but I can't believe the guy you have a crush on... thinks you're dating your cousin! Hahahaha!"

Sakusa: "He's not smart enough to know you're my cousin..."

Komori: "I'm sorry I can't stop laughing...........okay, what can I do to help?"

Sakusa: "I don't know...that's why I called you..."

Komori: "Okay...okay. Let me think..."

Sakusa sighs, holding the bridge of his nose. He just wanted to find the best way to explain to Atsumu that he didn't have a boyfriend, without actually telling the annoying Setter that he liked him.

What if he didn't like him back?

Komori: "Kyioomi? Are you still there?"

Sakusa: "Sorry...I was spacing out. What were saying?"

Komori: "I said I came up with a plan."

Sakusa: "...really? What's the plan?"

Sakusa hangs up the phone and closes his eyes. That was a horrible plan that would take way too much time and energy to perfect, so he vetoed it.

There had to be another way...

Atsumu turns off the water and runs his fingers through his hair. The shower calmed him down a little bit, now he just felt more embarrassed over the way he ran away, than anything.

"Maybe we should stop with the hand massges..." Atsumu sighs, looking at his hands. "I don't want Kama....I mean Komori, to get upset. Shit...the last thing I'd wanna do is cause them any problems. I just need to stop flirtin' with Omi-Omi and kept my distance."

Atsumu dried off and quickly realized he didn't bring any clean clothes into the bathroom when he rushed in. He sighs, wrapping the towel around his waist, slowly opening the door until he makes eye contact with Sakusa standing right in front of him.

"...you forgot...your clothes..." Sakusa holds up a small pile of sweats that Atsumu likes to wear to bed. His eyes leave Atsumu's face for a moment, trailing down his chest and stomach, then quickly back up to his face. "Sorry...I was about to knock, but you opened the door."

"Ya don't have to apologize Omi-Omi," Atsumu smiles. "Thanks for bringin' me my clothes." He accepts the pile, trying not to blush over the fact that he had just been stared at by the taller man.

"I ordered dinner...I hope that's alright," Sakusa says.

"Of course it is," Atsumu laughs. "I'm starvin'. I'll go change real quick..." he ducks back inside the bathroom as Sakusa nods and walks away.

Breathe...just breathe...Atsumu smacks his face and quickly changes into his sweats. He gives himself one more pep talk to calm down the queasiness in his stomach, before he heads out into their room. He opened the door and smiles, until his eyes focus his bed and he can't breathe...

Omi is on my bed.

Cuddling my pillow.

Sakusa turns to Atsumu, his expression hidden behind the pillow reveals a gentle smile, as he lets go of the pillow.

Shit...Atsumu gulps as he starts to walk towards his bed, his feet heavier than he thought, as he almost trips on the carpet of the hotel room. He hears a soft laugh escape his Spikers lips, before he see's the smile on his face.

"You're being cute again," he says, looking straight at Sakusa as he sits down on the other side of the bed. Shit...I probably shouldn't say that.

"...no I'm not," Sakusa blushes, straightening himself upright.

"Yes ya are," Atsumu says, trying to calm himself down and remember that Sakusa already has someone he loves. If I keep remindin' myself he's gotta boyfriend, then I wont forget and try to kiss him, he smiles at himself. "I'm definitely gonna tell Komori-"

"Don't tell my cousin!" Sakusa stares down Atsumu.

"Why not? He'll think it's cute, too..." Atsumu stops. "Wait...did ya just say cousin?!" He turns to gave Sakusa, his mouth gaping open.

Sakusa realizes what he said. Sorry Komori, I guess I won't need your plan after all, he smiles. He turns his body to face Atsumu.

"I wanted to tell you earlier," Sakusa says, nervously playing with the pillow in his lap. "But you ran into the bathroom...and I didn't know how to tell you..."

"I am so sorry!!" Atsumu bows his head down. "I should'a listened to ya...man I'm an idiot," he laughs.

"It's fine...it's actually not the first time someone's mistaken him for my boyfriend," Sakusa laughs, holding up a hand. "It happened all the time in high school."

"Oh man...I couldn't imagine if people thought Samu and I were dating..." he laughs. "I really am sorry Omi."

"I already told you it's fine," Sakusa smiles, laughing lightly. "I'm used to you being an idiot."

"Hey! I'm not that bad! Shoyo-kun and Bokkun are a lot worse!" He laughs, grateful for the relief of tension in his stomach.

"Yes...they are," Sakusa laughs. "But at least they thought that my boyfriend was you and not my cousin."

"....damn...I hate it when yer right!" Atsumu laughs, gently pushing Sakusa on his shoulder. "I'm sorry I'm such a horrible boyfriend..." he teases.

"You're not that bad," Sakusa laughs, holding the pillow closer to his chest.

Knock...knock...

"That must be the food," Sakusa said.

"I'll get it," Atsumu smiles, jumping up and walking to the door. "Since I need to redeem myself as a good boyfriend..." he says opening the door.

"Miya!!"

An amber-blonde jumps at Atsumu, grabbing his t-shirt. 

"What...???" Atsumu stumbles forward.

"Komori?!" He hears Sakusa yell from the bed.

Atsumu pulls back and looks at the small browed man in front of him, he still looks exactly the same as he did in high school. Why is he here?

"I can't believe you'd hit on someone else's boyfriend!" Komori gets into Atsumu's face. "Kiyoomi told me he wants to break up! Are you happy now?!"

Ohhhh...Atsumu tries not to laugh, Sakusa must have told his cousin about the misunderstanding.

"Oh god," Sakusa sighs to himself, covering his face in embarrassment with the pillow.

Atsumu straightens himself up and grins down at Komori.

"Maybe if you took better care of him, he wouldn't have climbed into my bed..."
