Chapter Text
Thursday AM
(09:12) Hi. I’m bored and tired
(09:12) Therefore I’ll ask some questions to make my morning less boring and tiring
(09:15) Go ahead. I’ll be your coffee. I’ll brighten your day. There will be so much light that your pupils will burn. You’ll suffer excruciatingly.
(09:15) Thank you but it’s not necessary, really.
(09:15) So.
(09:15) Favorite animal?
(09:17) I think– foxes? Wolves? I like animals that growl. Animals that growl are cool
(09:17) How about you?
(09:20) I like crows. And owls. And animals that can fly in general.
(09:21) So you also like pigeons and flies
(09:22) Well– I guess. I prefer birds a little more intimidating, though.
(09:23) Pigeons can be very intimidating. Don’t mess with pigeons. Apologize to the pigeons.
(09:23) Pigeons, please, forgive my insolence, you’re the most threatening birds on the face of the planet!
(09:24) Pigeons don’t want to forgive you.
(09:25) Then screw the pigeons. Favorite flower?
(09:28) You can be rude at times. I like that.
(09:28) Flower? I don’t know.
(09:28) Maybe the sunflower. It's yellow and glittering and it looks like me.
(09:28) And the way it turns its head to look at the sun is fascinating
(09:30) I agree, it’s very charming!
(09:30) Who’s your favorite volleyball player?
(09:33) Setters.
(09:36) Yeah, I imagined that, I meant someone more specific!
(09:37) Skilled setters.
(09:38) Yeah, but–
(09:38) Never mind.
(09:40) Who’s your favorite?
(09:41) I think Romero is one of my favorites
(09:41) The sound the ball makes when Romero hits it! My stomach goes crazy, and my sister adores him as well!
(09:41) I want to become that impressive one day.
(09:41) I want to become even better!
(09:45) You’re going to need an excellent setter, then.
(09:45) Bc spikers' skills are either limited or emphasized by the setter, yknow.
(09:45) You can be as talented as you want, but if the setter sucks, your team isn’t going anywhere.
(09:46) A good setter will set the ball where there are no middle blockers. A good setter will set the ball higher and faster. And at that point, the opposing team won't be able to stop you, even if your spike isn't that powerful.
(09:47) That’s how crucial the setter’s role is. Setters are basically the directors of the entire match!
(09:50) Oh my god. You’re obsessed.
(09:51) I don't wanna hear that from you.
(09:52) But you’re so passionate about your role
(09:52) I really like that
(09:53) Thanks, sunshine
(09:55) Add passionate to the endless list of my qualities
(09:56) Sure.
(09:56) Passionate about being a dickhead.
(09:57) Passionate about being a lying, manipulative, selfish narcissist.
(09:58) At least one person in this world can see beyond appearances.
(09:58) At least someone understood that behind my stratospheric beauty lies a heart of gold.
(09:59) Behind your stratospheric beauty lies a rancid ass.
(10:00) I think you need to remember who’s going to lend you clothes for your hopeless date on Saturday.
(10:01) I can hit your empty head with a frying pan, knock you out and steal them from the closet.
(10:02) But you wouldn't know how to match them
(10:02) He’s right
(10:03) Rin, remind me whose side you're on.
(10:03) Yours. Always on yours. But it’s true that your outfits look like shit. You always look so– so old.
(10:04) I hope Keiji-kun is more interested in my personality than in the clothes I wear.
(10:05) KEIJI-KUN?
(10:05) SINCE WHEN DO YOU CALL HIM KEIJI-KUN
(10:05) I DON’T KNOW IF I SHOULD LAUGH OR VOMIT
(10:06) Shut up Tsumu
(10:06) You call your friend “sunshine” and you’ve never even seen him!
(10:07) How do you know that?
(10:08) It's not my fault if you text him every hour of the day!
(10:08) I’ll meet him! One day, I’ll meet him. And you’ll be so jealous!
(10:09) I bet you’ll traumatize him first.
(10:10) Fuck you, Suna. Fuck you and the pigeons.
(10:11) Pigeons? What’s wrong with pigeons?
(10:11) Wait. I don’t wanna know.
(10:11) Not to spoil this bonding moment btw, but I think the teacher is about to kill us.
(10:11) I see murder in her eyes.
(10:11) She’s coming towards us
(10:11) No, wait. I think she’s coming towards Tsumu
(10:12) ABORT THE PLAN. ABORT THE PLAN. HIDE ALL THE EVIDENC–
(10:12) Bye Tsumu :P
Thursday PM
(10:55) Hi
(10:55) I’ll probably die soon.
(10:55) Or I’ll commit murder. Either way, I don't think we’ll be able to meet.
(10:56) What’s happening?
(10:57) My brother.
(10:57) He's driving me crazy!
(10:57) He's choosing what to wear for his date on Saturday. But believe me, we've been standing in front of the closet for more than four hours
(10:57) Four fucking hours!!!
(10:58) I've been showing him all kinds of outfits
(10:58) I even matched the shoes
(10:58) Yet he doesn't like anything! This is too elegant, he says, this is too sporty, this is for a businessman who just declared bankruptcy, this is for a clown.
(10:58) SAMU, YOU’RE THE ONLY CLOWN HERE! YOU CAN’T EVEN DRESS YOURSELF!
(10:58) Oh no
(11:00) What?
(11:01) Samu wants to wear a stupid frog shirt
(11:01) Four hours have passed, and he wants to wear a frog shirt
(11:03) For your sanity, let him wear his frog shirt
(11:03) Over my dead body
(11:03) It took two years for this date. I won’t let him screw everything up.
(11:04) I like frogs, though
(11:04) Didn’t you like birds?
(11:04) Yeah, birds are my favorite, but frogs are also cute! They’re colorful, and bizarre.
(11:04) You know, they can even be lethal!
(11:05) What?
(11:06) Yeah! There’s this frog called the golden frog. Its poison can kill you!
(11:06) It paralyzes your muscles first, then it kills you.
(11:07) My muscles would never be paralyzed by a frog
(11:07) My muscles are strong
(11:08) And yet!
(11:08) I don’t believe you. Frogs are way too small.
(11:08) They measure what, three centimeters?
(11:08) Like Samu’s dick.
(11:09) Didn't you tell me that you and Osamu are identical?
(11:10) Now I'm going to jump from the tenth floor
(11:10) Still
(11:10) Frogs are too small. They can’t kill a man.
(11:11) Appearances are deceiving!
(11:12) Oh. I get it now. You like deadly frogs because you also consider yourself small but lethal.
(11:13) OH, WOW
(11:13) I hadn't thought of that! You’re a genius!
(11:13) From now on, call me Golden Poison Dart Frog.
(11:15) Sure
(11:15) My dick is longer than a frog, btw.
(11:16) Sure
(11:18) We still haven't found a proper outfit
(11:19) This is so sweet. He cares a lot about this date!
(11:19) He cares too much. He thinks he’s found the love of his life.
(11:20) Have you ever found it?
(11:20) What?
(11:20) The love of your life. I mean, have you ever been in love?
(11:21) Nah. I kissed some people, but I felt normal every single time. It was never anything special. No butterflies in the stomach, no fireworks.
(11:21) You?
(11:22) I never wanted to kiss someone, actually. I just think about volleyball!
(11:22) Butterflies in the stomach, fireworks… I only feel those on the court!
(11:23) Exactly! I feel the same!!!
(11:24) Too bad for your fan club
(11:24) They can all die from frog poisoning, for what I care
(11:24) You’re the worst
(11:25) Yeah yeah
(11:26) I’m going to sleep. Goodnight, Atsumu-san!
(11:30) If I didn't have a psychopathic brother I could go to sleep too.
(11:30) The world indeed challenges the strongest
(11:30) Night, Shouyou-kun
Friday AM
(08:30) I don't want to dent your self-esteem, but you seem particularly drained today.
(08:30) It's like someone hung you upside down and left you like this all night, saying: you suck as a setter, you suck as a setter, you suck as a setter
(08:31) Did Shouyou stop texting you back?
(08:31) Ha-ha. You think you’re funny? Because you have a long way to go
(08:31) Listen to this one
(08:33) Don’t
(08:35) I like elephants.
(08:35) Please don’t do this to me
(08:35) Everything else is irrelephant.
(08:35) ////irrelephant////
(08:36) You’re unbelievable
(08:37) Unbelievably sharp, I know.
(08:37) Anyway, no, it's not Shouyou's fault
(08:37) Samu the Asshole kept me up all night picking out clothes to wear tomorrow.
(08:38) He’s ridiculously sweet
(08:39) You think he’s ridiculously sweet, but when I tell or do something similar about Shouyou, I become ridiculously stupid.
(08:39) I don't think it's fair.
(08:40) You–
(08:40) Fuck, you’re right
(08:40) Oh my god you’re right
(08:40) I'll never make fun of you again
(08:41) Finally.
(08:42) The situations are entirely different!!!
(08:43) Good morning Osamu
(08:43) Found something appropriate in your wardrobe?
(08:44) Only my desire to bite Tsumu's head off
(08:45) The desire is reciprocated. Look what you did to me! Look at my face!
(08:45) All my beauty, all my light… vanished into two huge dark circles!
(08:47) Even your intelligence– oh no, wait a minute, you never had that. Thank god, one less thing to search for.
(08:48) I hope you get an attack of alien diarrhea tomorrow.
(08:48) Wait, even better, I hope the aliens come directly to pick you up and take you away forever to places where there’s no rice and where you cannot make onigiri
(08:50) Cut it out, you two. Pay attention to the lesson so you can explain it to me later.
(08:51) Don’t count on me. I'm going to take a beauty nap, hoping to get my charm back.
(08:53) Then who listens to the teacher?
(08:53) Osamu???
(08:53) I’m busy. I’m looking for alternative ways to cook tofu.
(08:53) He’s busy texting the love of his life
(08:54) Please don’t leave me alone in this
(08:54) GUYS
(08:55) Bye Suna
(08:55) Bye Suna
(08:56) Shining’s twins
(09:01) Have you ever wanted to be a witch?
(09:02) Well, it’s not at the top of my wish list. Do you want to be one?
(09:02) Sort of. I’d like to make strange potions!
(09:02) Like, a potion that allows you to converse with lizards. Or, a potion that makes snails sing!
(09:02) I also wanna have a big stinking cauldron and a purple book thick with potion recipes.
(09:03) You’d be a perfect witch. Children usually want to become firefighters, though.
(09:05) Do you want to be a firefighter?
(09:08) I wanna be the greatest setter in every universe. I’m already the hottest one, so I’m halfway there.
(09:08) But when I was a kid, I wanted to be a Formula 1 driver
(09:14) Woah, that’s so cool!
(09:16) I know. I was obsessed with big cars.
(09:16) And with their glossy colors
(09:16) And their deep engine noise
(09:17) I have a bike, if you want. It’s so decrepit that its noise is very similar to the engine of a Ferrari.
(09:21) Maybe someday you'll give me a ride on it.
(09:21) Just, fix it a little bit. I don't want to die. And I don't want you to die either.
(09:22) I like it when you worry about me! <3
(09:23) Shut up
(09:24) I will, because I have an English test right now
(09:24) And it’s going to be a disaster
(09:25) Dw sunshine. I’ll take care of you later.
(09:25) Don’t tease!
(09:26) <3
(09:30) Weren't you supposed to take your beauty nap?
(09:31) Duty called
(09:32) If by duty you mean responding to Shouyou's messages…
(09:32) Aw, look at you, all red-faced!
(09:32) LEAVE ME ALONE
Friday PM
(08:47) Hey
(08:50) Hey
(08:50) SO
(08:50) It's Friday night
(08:51) I know sunshine
(08:51) Did your mom manage to get you drunk?
(08:52) Against all odds, no. She baked a liquor cake, but I can't taste the alcohol at all. And Samu was in charge of cooking everything else, so I didn't risk drinking vodka instead of broth.
(08:52) Today will be a sober Friday, I guess
(08:53) How odd
(08:53) Not for me, though
(08:53) wdym
(08:54) I mean
(08:54) I’m a little drunk
(08:54) Confession time: mom's friend came to visit her, they drank and then went out.
(08:54) The bottle was left– well, unattended.
(08:55) And it smelled funny. Not bad. Just, strangely funny.
(08:55) And I wanted to try it. I didn't want to get drunk though, I just wanted to try it, but apparently that stuff was more potent than I thought, it was like–
(08:55) Like a magic potion!!! Oh my god, witches are real!!!
(08:55) Anyway, my head is a little foggy right now. And I hoped yours was foggy as well. But you’re boringly sober.
(08:56) I can growl, btw
(08:56) What?
(08:57) Yesterday you said you like animals that growl
(08:57) I’m good at growling
(08:58) Oh, this is going to be a fantastic evening
(08:58) No, listen
(08:58) I show my teeth to people and then pull out the most fearsome growl in the universe
(08:59) Okay, Golden Poison Dart Fart.
(08:59) FROG
(09:00) Frog, sorry
(09:00) The thing is
(09:00) You’d definitely like me
(09:01) You sure about that?
(09:01) Absolutely
(09:01) GROOOWWLL
(09:01) Oh no
(09:01) GRRRRRROOOWLLL
(09:02) Shouyou-kun
(09:02) GROOOOOOOOWWWWWLLLL!!! GROOOOWWWLL!!!
(09:02) Shouyou-kun!
(09:02) Don't interrupt me
(09:02) I'm trying to scare you
(09:03) I’m scared, you did an incredible job
(09:03) Really?
(09:03) Really.
(09:04) Did I show you how fierce I am
(09:04) You did. I’m so impressed.
(09:04) You’re a Tasmanian devil. Or a Jack Russell Terrier. Can't quite tell the difference.
(09:05) Cool
(09:05) Cool cool cool
(09:06) Hey
(09:06) Hey
(09:06) Hi
(09:06) Hi
(09:07) Tell me something
(09:07) Something like what?
(09:08) Something secret. Something you’ve never told anyone before.
(09:08) Mmh. I think my brother might be a problem. He literally knows everything about me.
(09:09) Then tell me something that only you and your brother know
(09:09) You’ve already confessed to me that you’re a virgin, btw
(09:10) Oh shit, I forgot. More likely, my brain purposely forgot it so I wouldn't die of mortification.
(09:10) Anyway, I don’t carry many secrets with me, you know. Why don’t you tell me one?
(09:10) I already know you’re a virgin, too.
(09:11) Oh, fuck
(09:11) Mmh. You won’t tell a soul?
(09:11) I won’t
(09:11) Promise?
(09:12) Promise.
(09:12) Okay. I still sleep with stuffed animals.
(09:12) HAHAHA
(09:13) Don’t laugh. I consider them as my protection. As long as they are on my bed, nothing can hurt me while I sleep.
(09:13) It makes sense, and I won’t judge you.
(09:14) Thanks. Can I call you?
(09:14) What?
(09:15) Can I call you? I mean, on the phone?
(09:15) It’d be nice to hear your voice. I wanna see if you sound the way I imagined.
(09:20) Okay, it was a stupid request. I didn't mean to be intrusive
(09:47) I’m sorry
(10:09) Atsumu-san?
SATURDAY AM
(07:23) Hey, Samu
(07:23) How’s the trip going?
(07:25) Good
(07:25) I’m fine.
(07:25) Actually, I’m dying. I'm sweating too much. I need to throw up.
(07:26) Remind me, where are you meeting?
(07:26) Nagoya
(07:26) I arrive in 45 minutes
(07:26) I’m dying
(07:26) Did I mention that I have to throw up?
(07:26) I have to throw up
(07:30) Don’t throw up
(07:31) Please, throw up. Your shirt sucks anyway.
(07:31) In fact, I think if you throw up on it you might just make it prettier.
(07:32) What shirt are you wearing?
(07:33) The one with frogs
(07:33) … why
(07:33) Because he wants to fuck everything up
(07:34) Don’t make me feel even worse
(07:34) Maybe I should remind you what happened last night
(07:35) What happened last night?
(07:35) I swear Samu if you say a word I'll take the first shinkansen and beat the crap out of you right in front of Akaashi
(07:35) You’re too lazy. You’d never do that
(07:36) You’re underestimating me.
(07:36) Osamu pls tell me
(07:36) Basically Shouyou wanted to call him on the phone
(07:37) Well, it makes sense, they've been texting nonstop for three weeks
(07:37) What’s his voice like?
(07:37) I bet you sounded like a constipated squirrel, squeaking because of anxiety.
(07:37) The thing is, they didn’t talk
(07:37) Why?
(07:38) Tsumu freaked out
(07:38) He didn’t reply to his messages
(07:38) Atsumu you’re so stupid
(07:38) It was a golden opportunity
(07:39) Don’t make me feel even worse
(07:39) HA-HA! I won!
(07:39) You didn’t. At least I’m able to dress myself.
(07:39) At least I’m going on a date, while you didn't even dare to talk to the guy you like.
(07:40) It took you two years to ask Akaashi out! And you're wearing a frog shirt!!!
(07:40) Sorry Tsumu, but today the coward is you
(07:40) Osamu’s right.
(07:40) Thanks Rin. I love you. I’m really going to throw up now.
(07:41) Happy vomiting.
(07:41) Your frog shirt is nice, btw. Now go and win the love of your life.
(07:42) <3 <3 <3
(07:43) I hate you both
(08:32) Hey
(09:35) Sorry about yesterday
(11:17) Shouyou-kun?
SATURDAY PM
So. Osamu was having the time of his life – ignoring the vomit part – with Akaashi. Atsumu imagined them, wandering around Nagoya too shy to even make eye contact. Osamu probably wouldn't have been able to shut up about cooking, and Akaashi would have asked him questions about desserts– and maybe even complimented his brother about his shirt. Then they would have gone to eat something together, and perhaps at that moment, over a hot, steamy dish, they would have found the courage to look at each other's. Osamu would have blushed, his lips melting into a sly smile. Akaashi’s cheeks would have caught fire. Shit, they were disgustingly cute together.
Atsumu, on the other hand, was about to spend the afternoon floating in an ocean of misery. He wanted to bite the hell out of all his fingers for being such a coward the day before, but without fingers, there was no way he could play volleyball. And slapping his own face was out of the question, his features were way too pretty to be hit– besides, Osamu was the one in charge of giving him a well-placed punch when needed.
Atsumu checked his phone 12 times. No messages whatsoever. He drank a juice and checked the phone 23 more times – same as before. Then he went around his house three times tossing the ball over his head, and in the end he simply gave up and threw himself on the bed staring intensely at the phone as if he wanted to set it on fire, in a desperate attempt to manifest a shiny shred of notification.
The notification didn’t come. Atsumu sank his face into the pillow and grunted. Samu's voice echoed in his head: coward, coward, coward. Atsumu grunted louder. He was not a coward. Simply, Shouyou was drunk and Atsumu didn't want their first conversation to happen like that. Right. It was absolutely that, the motivation. Not because he had panicked completely. Atsumu was perfectly capable of handling such situations. Atsumu would have been able to handle the collapse of the universe, setting stars and planets as if they were balls back in their place.
The phone remained mute in front of him, drawing the darkness of the evening. Then it lit up. Atsumu gasped, grasping it expectantly, only to hiss in exasperation as he saw that it was only a candy crush notification.
Coward, coward, coward, repeated his brother's voice in his head.
Atsumu tightened his lips. "I am not a coward," he growled. Then he grabbed the phone. Pick up, thought Atsumu. And also: fuck, don’t pick up.
“Hello?”
“Hi.”
“A-Atsumu-san?”
“Nope, I’m his ghost. Atsumu tragically died tryin’ to save his brother’s rancid ass. Very sad, yeah, very sad indeed, the whole universe is now mournin’. Government leaders are considering putting Atsumu's face on every flag and every coin so that he’ll never be forgotten. I'm just here to tell you to keep takin’ care of his beloved Cocktus, to honor his memory and–
“You know, you sound exactly as I imagined.”
“You mean very hot, don’t you? Magnetic, deep, irresistible.”
“Yes to all those things, although I can sense a bit of agitation.”
“Shut up. I can feel yer anxiety as well. Yer voice is goin’ up and down. Ya sound like a crow chick.”
“S-shut up!”
“Ha, make me.”
“Well, I, uh–
“How cute, all flustered.”
“Atsumu-san, I swear–
“Ya swear what, sunshine?”
“Oh my god, please, stop.”
“Why? I’m havin’ such a great time.”
“Because of your stupid accent! I don’t know, it’s– it’s kinda sensual.”
“W-what?”
“Yeah, well, it’s– wait, did you just squawk?”
“I did not.”
“You definitely squawked. Am I making you uncomfortable, Atsumu-san? Should I speak more softly? Atsumu-san.”
“Fucking Christ, stop.”
“Hehe. You act tough, but in the end, you’re just as shy as I am.”
“At least I don’t sound like a choking bird.”
“Is my voice really that bad?”
“...”
“Hello? You’re still there?”
“Yer voice is fine.”
“Mmh, glad to hear that! So, why did you call me?”
“ ‘Cause yesterday ya wanted to call me. But I disappeared.”
“Making me feel very wrong.”
“Making you feel incredibly wrong, yes. So I thought: time to make up for my mistakes.”
“And here you are?”
“And here I am.”
“How sweet. You thought I’d never text you back, didn’t you?”
“Hah, you wish. Truth is you’d miss me too much.”
“Mmh. Truth is maybe you’re right.”
“...”
“I know you’re blushing.”
“Shut up, Shouyou-kun.”
“Hehe. Have you heard from your brother? How is his date going?”
“Fine, I guess. I think all he did was babble about food. He’ll tell me everythin’ as soon as he gets home. He should be taking the train soon.”
“What did he wear, in the end?”
“For fuck’s sake, let’s not talk about that. He’s such an idiot. What did you do today?”
“I was practicing, but then it started to rain and I ran back home. I don’t want to get sick.”
“Mmh, wise decision.”
“You?”
“I practiced, too. Then I tried to become a witch.”
“Did you succeed?”
“Don't know. I made a potion, though. I'll pour it secretly into my brother's glass. If he dies, then I succeeded.”
“I hope you’ll fail, then. I like Osamu-san.”
“You didn’t say that.”
“And yet–
“Trust me, you didn’t say that.”
“Fine, fine, I didn’t. You could make love potions, though.”
“Why would I need them? Everyone’s already in love with me.”
“Riiight.”
“I’ve got my own fan club, remember?”
“Well, you could always sell them. You'd make a shitload of money. You’d share some income with me since it was my idea.”
“And what would you do with all that money?”
“I’d use them to go and train somewhere. Like, to Brazil!”
“I could always invent a magic potion to make ya better at volleyball, y’know?”
“I’d never drink it! Are you crazy?”
“Just kiddin’, sunshine. Relax.”
“Stop teasing. Mum’s calling me for dinner, by the way. Will you let me know how Osamu’s date went?”
“Sure.”
“Thank you.”
“Shouyou-kun?”
“Mmh?”
“I’m really, really sorry about yesterday.”
“It’s okay. Atsumu-san?”
“What?”
“I’m happy you called.”
(10:23) In half an hour I'll be home.
(10:24) Cool
(10:25) You make me sick.
(10:25) WHY
(10:25) You’re so disgustingly happy. I can feel it
(10:26) UNO REVERSE CARD, OH MY GOD. YOU’RE AS DISGUSTINGLY HAPPY AS I AM.
(10:26) Yes, but I went on a date – that was a terrific success, btw, screw you and your prejudice against my shirt–, so I’m justified! What the hell happened to you?
(10:27) I'll tell you when you take your rancid ass home
(10:27) Also, I hope you brought me back something to eat. Otherwise, don't bother showing up.
(10:28) Die
(11:07) Osamu’s date went well
(11:07) He and the love of his life ate together, went to the park, ate again, went to the bookstore, and now they’re texting each other. They want to meet again.
(11:08) Aw, I’m so happy for Osamu-san!
(11:09) Yeah, me too, but don’t tell him.
(11:09) I’m going to sleep now. Samu’s already snoring. Night, Shouyou-kun.
(11:10) Goodnight, Atsumu-san.
Sunday AM
(10:03) So, Osamu's date went well, and Atsumu talked to Shouyou on the phone?
(10:06) That's right. And he sounded like a boy.
(10:06) He might have used some gimmick to change his voice.
(10:06) You’re paranoid, 'Samu. You should watch less crime shows.
(10:07) You’re just jealous because my onigiri are turning out better than yours.
(10:08) Are you making onigiri? Can I come for lunch?
(10:09) Sure, Rin.
(10:09) Anyway, I'm just considering all the options. Keep your feet on the ground, otherwise, you'll get burned.
(10:10) If there's one thing I can't do in this universe, it's keep my feet on the ground.
(10:12) I can't believe everything has worked out, though. I mean, it's so unlikely for both of you.
(10:13) Fuck you, Rin. You're just jealous.
(10:13) Rin, I promise that if you end up alone, I'll leave Akaashi and marry you.
(10:15) For fuck’s sake, no. I'd rather marry our math teacher.
(10:16) That's a heavy insult, Suna.
(10:20) I'm sorry, man. I'd rather not let you have false hopes. Can I still come for lunch?
(10:22) Come now so you can help us, you lazy gossipy trash can

(11:37) Oh my god, they look delicious
(11:38) I made them. Although, Samu helped.
(11:40) I bet yours are the crooked ones.
(11:41) You’re a demon. I was even going to offer you one!
(11:43) I take it all back. Please, forgive me.
(11:43) Mmh. Maybe.
(11:45) So, you’re eating onigiri today?
(11:46) Samu also made some cream cakes. After lunch, we're going to watch a movie. We'll probably fight to choose it, though. Blood will be spilled.
(11:47) Why? What do you want to watch?
(11:48) I love romantic comedies. Suna likes horror movies. Samu wants to watch something with aliens or Ratatouille.
(11:49) Osamu made cream cakes. I think he should have the last word.
(11:49) Hi, Shouyou. It’s Osamu. I love you. I want you in the family. Come visit us soon so we can play Mario Kart.
(11:49) I’ll cook your favorite dishes. Meat buns and tamago kake gohan, right?
(11:50) Osamu-san, you remember! You’re so kind! <3
(11:51) Okay, enough. It’s Atsumu again. We’ll watch Ratatouille for, like, the 200th time. Thanks, Shouyou-kun.
(11:53) Always glad to be helpful!
(11:54) What are you having for lunch?
(11:55) I don’t know. Mum’s cooking rice. She’s very good at cooking!
(11:56) It must be nice to have a mother who cooks without trying to poison you to death. This is the typical example of when the mundanity of things means happiness.
(11:57) You're so wise
(11:58) I know. Talk to you later, sunshine.
(11:59) Have a great lunch, Atsumu-san.
SUNDAY PM
“Miss me already, sunshine?”
“Don’t make me regret it.”
“You’re going to call me every day from now on?”
“You wish. It's just that yesterday you called me first, and I had the feeling that I was losing.”
“Yeah, yeah, keep tellin’ yerself that. Truth is, ya wanted to hear my accent so bad– Samu shut up.”
“Is Osamu-san with you?”
“Yeah, as always. He’s a tick– no, you fuck off.”
“Can I say hi?”
“No. Hey, let go of me, you fuckin’ ass–
“Hi, Shouyou-kun. It’s ‘Samu.”
“Hello, Osamu-san! You have the cool accent, too!”
“Well, yeah, y’know, me an’ Tsumu grew up under the same roof and– Tsumu, you motherfucke–
“It’s Atsumu again. Samu said ‘t was a pleasure talkin’ with you but he has very important business to do.”
“Too bad. Then I’m stuck with you. Have you had dinner?”
“Yep. Samu tried a new beef recipe. ‘t was good, though a little salty. You?”
“Mom made soup. It was good, too!”
“Cool. You still sound like a choking bird, ya know?”
“S-shut up! It's not my fault if I'm embarrassed!”
“Yer right, the fault is mine, ‘cause I’m handsome and– Samu, stop hitting me.”
“Osamu-san, please, don’t stop.”
“I fled to the bathroom. At least he can't hear me talk.”
“You just wanted to be alone with me.”
“You wish. Hey, wanna hear a joke?”
“Please.”
“What do you call a bug that can't make a decision?”
“I don’t know. What do you call it?”
“A may-bee. Did you get– oh my god, you’re actually laughin’!”
“Sorry, sorry, it’s just, well, a may-beepffhahahaha
“Oh, wow.”
“I’m sorry, I can’t stop laughinhahahahaha
“Please, take all the time you need.”
“Okay, okay, I can breathe again. Thank you, Atsumu-san.”
“My pleasure.”
“Cool.”
“Cool cool cool.”
“Talk to you tomorrow?”
“Sure. Goodnight, Shouyou-kun.”
“Goodnight, Atsumu-san.”
