■Y/N's POV■

Like every other morning during my stay here, in Atsumu san's house, we are currently sitting at the dining table, eating our breakfast.

But today, I feel like I'm being interrogated, well sort off, not that I complain.

Atsumu: so you're going to your friend's house right away?

Y/N: um... yes...

Atsumu: and you'll check the vacant place in her apartment building?

Y/N: yes...

Atsumu: what apartment is it? How far? What's the address?

Y/N: um... it's XX apartment, it's not too far from my office, it's at XX street...

Atsumu: I see.... will... you be staying with your friend if the room doesn't suit you?

I see that Atsumu san is staring at the luggage next to me. Yes, last night I decided to stop burdening Atsumu san. I'm planning to stay at my friend's house if I haven't got a new place.

Y/N: um... yes... I'm really thankful to you Atsumu san.... you helped me a lot...

Atsumu: don't mention it...

Actually, the thought of leaving Atsumu san kind of makes my heart clenches, in a bad way. I've been feeling comfortable around him. I want to repay his kindness, I don't know whether I could see him again.

Y/N: Atsumu san... I really want to repay your kindness...

Atsumu gets up from the chair and grabs his car keys. He spares a glance at me

Atsumu: told ya, you don't need to do that... come on, I'll drop you off..

With that Atsumu san drives us to my office, he'll go to his practice afterward. I stole a glance at him, Atsumu san is a really great person.

After knowing that he plays pro volleyball, I start looking at his old games on YouTube. I even found a game from when he's in high school.

Y/N: Atsumu san... is really cool

Atsumu: what?

Gosh, did I blurted that out loud?

I look at Atsumu san, who's eyeing me.

Y/N: uh... um, I watched some of your games on YouTube and you look really cool... I wish I could watch you play someday...

Atsumu: then watch me... I have a game next month... come and watch me play...  and see how cool I am up close...

Atsumu san is smiling at me, I can't help but feel flustered. We stop in front of my office and I took out my luggage from the trunk.

Y/N: Atsumu san... thank you so much... I really want to repay you... but I don't know what to do...

Atsumu: I told you not to think about it... well I guess this is it huh... don't wander off alone... walk home together with your friend...

Y/N: yes...

We stare at each other for a moment, why is it getting hard for me to breathe. I can feel a slight tug inside my chest.

Y/N: Atsumu san... please, stay safe and healthy... don't skip lunch... and be careful not to get injured during practice...

Atsumu: you too... stay safe, you just like a defenseless rabbit after all...

We smile at each other and laugh a little.

Atsumu: well... goodbye

Y/N: goodbye Atsumu san...

With that Atsumu san leaves to his practice. And I'm pulling my luggage that somehow getting heavier.

■3rd Person POV■

Y/N is walking with Hina to Hina's place. Today, during works, lunch break, and even now, Y/N doesn't look lively.

Her coworkers aware of her low mood at the moment, but couldn't grasp what might be the reason for it.

The two arrived at Hina's apartment building. They head to Hina's place first.

Hina: you can leave your luggage in here, then we'll go see the vacant place...

Y/N: ah okay...

With that Y/N left her luggage and walks with Hina to survey the vacant room in this apartment building.

On the other side of the city, Atsumu has just finished changing his clothes. Behind him, Hinata and Bokuto exchange glances and decided to speak up.

Bokuto: Tsum-tsum, are you sick?

Hinata: you look down the entire day...

By the mention of "sick", Sakusa gathers his stuff and moves further. Atsumu saw this and became irritated.

Atsumu: OI OMI, I'M NOT SICK... EVEN SO I'M NOT A GERM...

Bokuto: so he's healthy...

Hinata: well, what is wrong then? Your mind seems to be in another place...

Since morning, Atsumu has something on his mind, Y/N. Knowing that today he doesn't need to pick her up from work, won't be eating dinner with her, and in the morning no one will cook breakfast for him, doesn't feel right for him. Not able to see Y/N makes him kind of sad.

Atsumu: a... friend just moved out of my house...

Hinata: we didn't know you have a roommate...

Bokuto: so you're lonely because he left?

Atsumu: maybe, I don't know... I'm starting to get used to having her around me... making me breakfast every morning...

Hinata and Bokuto hum and nod their head until a realization hit them.

Bokuto & Hinata: wait! Her? It's a she??? Did you live with a woman?

Atsumu: she just someone I met recently, she has her own circumstances, and I just lend her my guest room for a week... that's it...

Hinata: did she upset you before she left?

Atsumu: nah, she didn't... I don't know, I just feel... I'm not in the mood... it's kind of... lonely

Atsumu drinks from his bottle, when Sakusa just blurts out.

Sakusa: you like her

Atsumu: BLEEERRGH

Atsumu spat the water inside his mouth, eyes staring at Sakusa, shocked. Bokuto and Hinata each grab a towel and wipe Atsumu's face and shirt. When Atsumu realizes this he makes them stop and stare at Sakusa.

Atsumu: Wh- what do you mean Omi-Omi? I... I like..  her?

Sakusa is picking up his bag and hang it on his shoulder. He walks to the door and looks back at Atsumu.

Sakusa: you obviously sick... lovesick...

Sakusa leaves the room, leaving Atsumu's face all red. Bokuto and Hinata are teasing him. Poking him and elbowing him.

Atsumu: sh- shuddup!

Atsumu grabs his bag and runs out o the room. He gets into his car and drives. He's heading home, but on his way, he kept on thinking about Y/N.

How she'll be waiting for him in front of her office, how her back was facing him when she cooks breakfast every morning, and her hair will sway a little by the time she turns her head to say good morning.

Atsumu: damn!

Atsumu makes a U-turn and heading somewhere else other than his apartment. The address Y/N gave him earlier this morning when he asked.

Y/N and Hina had just finished checking the vacant room. They're now sitting in Hina's living room.

Hina: so how is it?

Y/N: um... it's nice... and not too expensive...

Hina: right! But don't be in a hurry... you could stay here for a while if you want to look at other places.

The room they've just seen was actually good. But, something lingers in Y/N's mind. The thought of living alone in there kind of makes her lonely. She has been comfortable with Atsumu the whole week after all. Just then Y/N's phone rings. Both Y/N and Hina look at the caller's ID.

Y/N: At...sumu san?

Hina: whoa! Oh my god! Go pick it up!

Y/N was surprised to be called by him. To be honest, she's happy. She thought they would stop contacting each other.

Y/N: Atsumu san?

Y/N could feel Atsumu's panting a little bit.

Atsumu: come down...

Her eyes widened. Y/N gets up and runs to the door.

Y/N: uh, Hina san... I... I'll go down for a bit...

Somehow Hina knows what happens and she just waves her hand and smiles.

Y/N runs out of the apartment building and looks around. Then she spots the setter of the black jackal, sitting on one of a bench.

Atsumu looks at her too and their eyes met. He then gets up and approaches her. Y/N's heart is beating so fast by now. The sight of him making her happy.

Y/N: Atsumu... san

Atsumu: you... want to repay me right?

■Atsumu's POV■

Why did I say that? I want to say something else but that came out instead. But Y/N's eyes widened and lit up.

Y/N: um yes! I... want to repay your kindness Atsumu san...

I watch as she looks at me with those big round (E/C) eyes. Her cheeks flushed because of the cold night wind, lips small plump and pink, she could be devoured.

I want to devour her...

I shook my head internally and clear my throat.

Y/N: what can I do to repay you Atsumu san?

I've been thinking about this on my way here.

Atsumu: stay... stay longer at my place...

Her eyes widened in shock... her mouth is slightly agape.

Y/N: uh wha- what? But... wouldn't that burden you?

Atsumu: I uh... have a match next month... I have to stay healthy so I can't skip breakfast... you... I need you to stay and cook for me...

Stupid me! Why did it sounds like I'm hiring her?

Y/N: can... I? Is it okay for me to stay longer in your place? Won't I... bother you...

Y/N looks a little bit flushed.

She's adorable...

Atsumu: yes you can... you, never be a bother in the first place.... so please... come back home with me...

I could feel my face grew warm. Do I really like this woman? Does it how it felt? To like something other than volleyball? To like someone?

I'm waiting for her response. But thank goodness she nods.

Y/N: o.. okay... I'll do that...

Atsumu: gr- nice! Um well okay let's go!

Y/N: um oh... wait Atsumu san... but for tonight can I sleepover in here... uh Hina and I already order something to eat...

Atsumu: oh, right... it's okay... I'll pick you up tomorrow after work I guess...

Y/N: okay... um Atsumu san...

I look down at her, she's looking up at me and smiles sweetly.

Y/N: thank you for letting me repaying your kindness...

My heart was struck with invisible arrows.

Atsumu: no... thank you...

With that Y/N turns around and runs back inside.

Y/N: see you tomorrow Atsumu san!

I just wave my hand at her.

Just like what Omi said...

I think...

I do like her...
