[Warning!! slight cursing!]

Atsumu was obviously distressed. You were well aware that he hasn't been having the best week. The one thing you'd never want to do is to be the one factor that pushes him over the edge.

You still weren't sure how to comfort Atsumu, knowing that sweet words only felt like pity to him. The only option you could think of was to leave him alone.

However, that did not sit well for the setter.

"(F/n), where's the controller?" he asked rather rashly as he tossed the cushions off the couch.

"O-oh, it's on the kitchen counter.." You flinched while slowly retreating to another room.

"Why would you put it all the way over here? Damn, I don't feel like watching anything anymore.. What are you doing?" turning around, his eyebrows furrowed seeing that you were no longer in the living room, "What the hell.."

You pretend that you were reorganizing the bookshelf in your shared bedroom, silently hoping he wouldn't speak to you anymore.

"(F/n)."

You jumped at the sudden entrance, dropping a picture frame onto the carpet. Luckily it didn't break so you quickly picked it up and propped it back onto the shelf.

"Is something wrong?" he leaned against the doorframe. You could practically feel his gaze bore through you.

"No," you mumbled.

"Then why are you ignoring me?"

"I'm not."

"You are."

"I'm not."

"Yes you are!" He harshly pushed the door forward making it slam against the wall behind it, "Okay, what did I do now?! God I can never satisfy you (F/n)! You make everything so difficult!"

You continue to fidget with the small objects on the shelf not wanting to anger him any more than he already was.

"Yet you still refuse to speak. You're not fucking mute (F/n)."

You could hear his heavy footsteps approach you. Before you could react, he grabbed the small object in your hand and harshly slammed it back down onto the shelf.

"As far as I know I've done nothing wrong. So I don't know why the hell your being all pissy today damnit. Are you sick of me? Tired of me? Are you done playing with me so you're planning to move onto another play toy?" He mocked.

"I-it's not that..!"

"THEN WHAT IS IT (F/N)?! I'M SICK OF YOUR SHIT RIGHT NOW! DO YOU NEED ME TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND FOR YOU?!" He moved closer towards you making you step backwards. "I HAD A HELL OF A WEEK OKAY, SO WHY NOT JUST MAKE IT WORST?! GET IT OVER WITH. THE WORLD'S ALWAYS AGAINST ME ANYWAYS!"

You were backed into a wall. You wanted to cover your ears. You knew he was about to say hurtful words to you, but you knew he wouldn't truly mean it. You needed to escape. Let him cool off, "Tsumu.. Stop–."

"I DONT CARE IF YOU LEAVE ME! I DON'T CARE! SO LET'S END IT HERE! SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH ME! PERHAPS I'LL HAVE BETTER DAYS ONCE YOU'RE GONE!"

Not giving him another chance to speak, you ducked under his arms that were trapping you and sprinted out of the bedroom. 

"(F/n)! What are you—!"

Your entire body shook at this point. For some reason, home did not feel safe anymore. You slipped on your shoes and tried to find your phone. However, as soon as you heard him leave the bedroom, you swung the front door open and ran.

It was late, you didn't have any source of communication and it was freezing. You sat down on a bench that overlooked the town.

You were far from home, but it wouldn't be difficult for you to return. Just not now.

'Maybe if I stayed here for a bit, he'd be sleeping by the time I get back..'

You pulled your knees to your chest to warm yourself up, "Looks like I've dug my own grave this time."

Your eyes fluttered open and realized that you had dozed off for about an hour. You scrambled to your feet and began running back home, "I hope he isn't worried.."

You caught your breath and tried to your best to open your front door as quietly as possible. Before you could even turn the knob, someone had beaten you to it.

"(F/n)! What the hell?!" A wash of relief fell over his face as he pulled you into his chest, "you can't just.. run off like that."

"Are you... still mad?"

"Now I am! You dork! You left in the middle of the night for over an hour! Why would you leave your phone here?! What if something happened to you?! What would I do then? Don't do that!" He huffed pulling away from you.

"Sorry.. I thought you needed time to be alone," you avoided his stare, "you've been stressed lately I didn't want to make things worst, so I thought I'd just avoid you until you felt better.. I only made it worst though. God, I suck at this."

His eyes softened, you were just worrying about him.

"I shouldn't have lashed out at you. I was feeling insecure. I made you feel like our home wasn't safe. If I'm in a bad mood, just give me a hug," a genuine smile tugged at his lips, "look at me."

"Hm?"

"I love you," he kissed you softly, "if anything, you're the reason why I yearn to be home everyday."

"Tadaima."

"Okaeri."
