In the end, I think Atsumu's biggest blessing isn't his physical talents or his mental abilities... its that he's got Osamu.

=======================

It was relieving to see Osamu and Atsumu bicker again, the eerie silence in the bus last time was threatening. "TSUMU THATS MY PUDDING!" Osamu grabs Atsumu as he devours Osamu's pudding cup. "Not anymore~!" Atsumu said. "You jerk!" Osamu shook Atsumu back in forth. "Oi both of you, stop it!" The coach yells. Somehow, that fight changed both twins, they would have a genuine smile after they'd fight over the little things. "why are ya smiling like a creep?" Suna asks as he looks at Osamu. "Im not a creep." Osamu frowns and slaps Suna's forehead. "Itai- what was that for?" Suna said as he rubbed his forehead. Osamu smiles and looks away. "Oh its nothing.."

"Samu, we're going to the arcade, want to come with us?" Atsumu asks as he stood with Gin, Suna and Akagi. "No thanks, I have some stuff to do." Osamu says. "You can do those stuff later!" Atsumu yells. "eh. no thanks." Osamu waves them off, to which Atsumu gives up and goes to the arcade without them. Osamu goes to the storage room to look for a mop, someone must've forgotten to mop the court, but instead finds his captain cleaning the balls. "Kita-san? I thought you went home." Osamu said hesitantly, he still couldn't stand being near Kita, he might blurt something he wouldn't want to say. "I always stay back to clean up." Kita says silently. Osamu pursed his lips 'always? doesn't Atsumu..?' Osamu sits in front of Kita and grabs a ball. "Let me help." Osamu says as he grabs a ball and rubs the dirty spots gently. "you don't have to..." Kita mumbles, to which fell upon deaf ears as Osamu continued his movements.

"Doesn't Atsumu help you out?" Osamu asked as he puts the clean balls back in its place. "I always tell him to go home early." Kita says as he stood up and dusted his pants. "you should've went home too." Kita stares at Osamu. "I guess you could say.. It was a sudden urge." Osamu says as he stretches his arms. "I'll walk you home." Osamu says. "no it's fine." Kita says as he tries to walk pass Osamu. "I wasn't asking." Kita felt chills down his spine, his heart raced. "O-okay.." Kita says silently.

"you really didn't have to." Kita says as he rubbed his hands together. Osamu glances at Kita, "your my brother's boyfriend, I'm just making sure nothing bad happens to ya." Osamu said, his words hurting both himself and Kita. 'oh yeah..boyfriend..' Kita thought as he awkwardly stuffed his hands in his pockets. "well this is your house. tell Oba-chan I said hi." Osamu says as he stops infront of Kita's house. "Thank you." Kita says as Osamu nods and turns to go home. "Uhm-! Be safe." Kita said hesitantly. "Sure." Osamu replies, walking away. 'are you really just going to let him walk away?' Kita thought as he watched Osamu's figure slowly turn smaller as the distance between them became greater. As soon as Osamu was out of sight, Kita slowly made his way to his door. His hands were shaky as it held onto the knob. 'Why am I shaking?'

Practice was the same as usual, the same bickering, the same words, everything was the same.

The gym door creaked open, revealing a very proud coach. "Atsumu, you've been chosen for the youth camp." The coach said proudly. Most of the team rushed over and congratulated Atsumu, Osamu on the other hand, went over to the back door as he looked up at the sky, It's a wonderful day today. Soon the congratulating died down and Osamu felt his brother's presence.

"Good job getting picked for the All-Japan Youth camp, Tsumu" Osamu says as his eyes gazed over the clouds. "Be more frustrated samu!" Atsumu whined. "I am, dumbass. Im frustrated at the fact that Im not more frustrated." Osamu said as he looked a his brother. "you've been working hard." Osamu states. Atsumu got angry as he heard that. "What the hell?!" Osamu looks over at his brothers outburst."You'd better not be implying that you aren't!" Atsumu scolds."Im pretty sure I am but they just wanted to pick someone whos a bit crazy." Osamu said, mentally chuckling."what did you say?!" "our skill is equal." "No im better than you!" "hear me out, damn it." Osamu looks out the door. "It's just... you love volleyball a little more than I do." Osamu says with a small satisfied smile. "why do you look satisfied? you shouldve been chosen with me." Atsumu says, a little angry at the fact his brother wasnt chosen as well."and practice with crazy good players? It may be an opportunity to you, but it isnt to me. besides." Osamu pats his brothers shoulder."who would be better than my brother?" Atsumu frowned as he hugged Osamu. "you've gotten touchy Tsumu. getting soft?" Osamu chuckled as he pats his brothers back. "take care of Kita-san for me, will ya?" "yeah."

"so Atsumu will be there for a full week?" Suna asked as he and Osamu mopped the court. "Yeah." Osamu replied as his eyes were on the floor. "If your thinking that he's better-" "He is. and that's the truth." Osamu cuts Suna off. Suna narrows his eyes. "He's not." Suna argues. Osamu stops for a second. "hm." He continues mopping. "Something tells me your not convinced." "Im not."

"I'm proud of you." Kita said as he punched his boyfriends shoulder gently. "Me too! but I guess it was expected, im amazing after all." Atsumu says with a toothy grin. Kita smiled gently."be safe there okay? He says as he hugs Atsumu. "samu will look after ya." Atsumu replies as he hugs back. Kita silently frowned, this hug felt normal to him, his mind flashes to Osamus little gestures and small smiles, Kita felt his face heat up.'this is wrong.' Kita thought as he was hugging the wrong twin. Atsumu pulls away" Wanna get something to eat before I go tomorrow" Atsumu asked with a smile "sure."

your smile and gestures are going to kill me.

Osamu and Suna went to their favourite café only to find, Kita and Atsumu was their too. "Oh, Samu! Suna! Come join us!" Atsumu yelled, waving his hand rapidly. "Go on, Ill pay today. Same as usual?" Suna asked. Osamu was about to protest but decided not to. "Sure sure. Ill pay next time then." Osamu said as he went over and sat across Kita. "so you two went here too? must have been fate~!" Atsumu said as he wiggled his eyebrows at Osamu. "Like I said, Suna and I arent like that." Osamu said as he flicked his brother. 'but it sure does look like that.' Kita thought as he felt kind of envious. Osamus eyes travelled and met Kitas brown ones. Kita felt his heart fasten its pace. "So you two were celebratin? Sorry if Suna and I interrupted." Osamu apologizes, scratching his neck. "The more the merrier, correct?" Kita managed to answer without stuttering. "Haha! of course! plus I wouldn't celebrate with out ya samu~!" Atsumu cooed. "You just did." "what-" Suna sits across Atsumu as he hands Osamu his food. "well lets get the celebratin started!" Suna said, grinning. Kita and Osamu found themselves looking at each other from across the table, in a somewhat longing way, Osamu was first to look away as he laughed at Atsumus silly antics. Kitas eyes looked down at his food. 'So close, yet so far' Kita thought as he ate a fry.

Osamu and Atsumu walked home, the night was pretty and Atsumu, as usual was fooling around. "Stop standing on the poles, youll hurt yer self." Osamu scolded as he pulls Atsumu off the poles. "sometimes I feel like im the older one here." Osamu sighed. "Well your not little bro!" Atsumu exclaimed proudly. "Shut yer trap your waking the neighbours." Osamu slaps Atsumus head with no hesitation. "Ouch! samu!" Atsumu rubs his head and looks at his brother. "Your lucky were brothers, otherwise I'd kick yer ass!" Atsumu yelled. "Gone soft Tsumu? you always try to kick my ass." Osamu asked with a chuckle. "Im just bein nice, that's all." Atsumu shrugged. "alright what do you want?" Osamu sighed in disbelief. "Can I have the last pudding cup-" "No."

Atsumus biggest blessing wasnt his talents or abilities, it was Osamu. Even if they ran as fast as they could, as long as no one was faster, they could catch-up to each other.

Atsumu could hear his brothers soft breaths, Osamu was asleep. Atsumu smiled to himself. He wouldn't admit it to Osamus face, but he was grateful to be lucky enough to get Osamu as a brother. Atsumu had always thought on how he could show gratefulness. 'Birthday gift? no they had the same birthdays. Pudding? that's too normal..' Atsumu felt a kick on his bed from the bottom bunk. "Oi, go to sleep, I can feel your ominous concentration from here." Osamu says. "What?!" "Go to sleep you pig."
