    Summary

    “I just got this job, I’m not givin’ it up for some moral boost ‘cause I actually need to pay my rent, ya insensitive -” Atsumu waves his hands around, trying and failing to come up with the right word to convey the amount of injustice that this gaunt motherfucker has brought into his relatively simple life thus far.

    “If you can’t pay your rent, go get a job at the McDonald’s over by 8th Street,” Sakusa growls, “it’ll pay more than your researcher position.”

     

    If you even attempt assault on a coworker, forget teaching about cells - you’ll fucking be in one, Atsumu.

    Summary

    Well into his twenties, Sakusa Kiyoomi is a supportive uncle, a successful professional athlete, and a relatively well-adjusted individual, despite claims (from his cousin and his sister and his brother and his partner—who has, frankly, no room to talk—and his aforementioned presumed niece, a literal child) alluding otherwise.

    It took some elbow grease and a hefty amount of introspective dish soap to get there.

    .

    Or, A trip to the airport to help out a teammate, two decades in the making.

    Summary

    They fall together with remarkable ease, an agreement that works for both of them. A way to relieve stress, a safe way to deal with any pent up tension. Atsumu's silly fancy from when he was a teenager is a thing of the past, Kiyoomi barely remembers the brazen confessions, the earnestness of those feelings.
    “I—” Atsumu hesitates, looking up with a jerk. He looks panicked, frantic and unsure with wide eyes and a trembling mouth. Kiyoomi is scared too, the shape of Atsumu is still burned inside his body but his chest has already gone hollow.
    “I like you,” Atsumu says. “I like you so much.” He pauses for a long moment before amending, “I love you. I’m sorry.”
    It was never supposed to be like this.

    Alternatively: Five (5) times Atsumu (kind of) confesses and the one (1) time Kiyoomi takes his turn.

    Summary

    "D'you mean it?"
    He’s spent the whole week pushing against it. What he’s doing when he looks at Atsumu. What his eyes do with the image of him, the close-enough, the memory of someone else so easily painted onto what's before him. He fixes his gaze on Atsumu’s chest, lets his vision blur. He’s tall. Lean. Sun-kissed. It's close enough.
    It won’t make him feel better, and Hajime doesn’t care. He drank himself here deliberately. He wants it anyways.
    “Yeah,” Hajime says. “I mean it.”


    Iwaizumi, and a couple years of distance, drunk on memory. The primitive ways we cope.

    Summary

    Ukai Keishin was not—and had no interest in becoming—a father. He’d somehow become responsible for fourteen children regardless.
