[velvet ring-big thief]
kiyoomi is walking, a bag on his shoulder. it’s getting late so the sun is orange, he had just finished his last class. he’s kind of a lonely person, he only has one friend, so he’s heading straight to his dorm, unlike other people.
he saw his said friend, dana, watching some guys (who were probably on drugs) doing some freaky tricks with a skateboard.
at first he really though dana and him weren’t made to get along because she was hanging out with people who were nothing like kiyoomi, but he was wrong, the pink haired girl seems to think sakusa was cool.
he knows other people form his grade but not that much, and he only tolerate some of them, like joanna, she’s one of dana’s friend. he saw gaspard, a french guy who moved to japan recently, he’s even more quiet than kiyoomi so the two of them never really talked but he seems nice.
he opens the dorm’s door. he saw some of his classmates talking quietly but nothing more. the dorms have little black board so the student can write on them, if kiyoomi’s honest, it’s a nice idea.
he finally made it to his dorm, but he’s far from relaxed seeing his roommate.
his name is miya atsumu, he’s everything that kiyoomi hates. cocky and overconfident, always have something to say because nothing can please him.
“weren’t you supposed to hang out with your friends today?” kiyoomi asks, clearly not hiding his disappointment.
“ ‘samu canceled it. sorry omi, ya gotta keep up with me tonight.” he has a smirk on his face, just seeing him make kiyoomi’s blood boil.
“can you at least turn down the music?” he just needs some rest, he’s trying to be nice for once.
“i really should ask fer a different roommate, yer no fun omi.” the stupid nickname again.
“could you stop calling me that? i just want to sleep, fuck miya you’re unbearable.”
“ya gotta choose omi, fuckin’ or sleepin’?”
“good night.” maybe he should ask for a new roommate too. because this bleached blond guy is going to be the end of him. he didn’t even turn the music off.

as the sun began to rise, kiyoomi’s alarm started ringing. when he woke up atsumu wasn’t there, he usually got up early to go for a run.
he started getting ready for class, he put on a black sweater and blue baggy jeans. when he went out of the dorms he saw his friend, dana, waiting for him.
“hey, how are you doing?” she asks quietly. that’s why kiyoomi likes her, she’s simple. he never saw her get into a fight or anything she’s always full of patience and tries to be accepting of everyone.
“i want a new roommate, he’s unbearable i hate him.”
“come on, i’m sure his not that bad, you should try to befriend him. he seems funny.”
“i think he’s the worst person who ever walked on earth.” dana laughed at that. she laughed at everything, like said earlier, she’s simple.
he heard his phone rigging.
komori
i want my book back :(
you
i’ll give it back sorry you can go to my dorm this evening
komori
see u and ur super hot roommate (if he isn’t there i’m having a breakdown in ur room just so u know)
kiyoomi rolls his eyes.
his teacher welcomes him and dana as usual, it’s still weird to be in his dream university, he always loved art so being here studying painting is the best thing that could have ever happened.
when he got back to his dorm he saw atsumu sit on his side of the room.
“your friends dumped you again?” not that he cares or anything, but maybe he should listen to dana, she has good advices sometimes.
“what a nice way to say it omi. and i don’t go out every night i can rest too ya know?” the fake blond always finds a way to pick a fight somehow, always responding in a mean way.
kiyoomi heard a knock on the door, probably komori. when he opened the door he saw komori, as he though, and dana.
“hey guys, how are y’all doing?” komori shouts, atsumu, dana and komori start a conversation while kiyoomi is searching for komori’s book.
“there’s a party soon you guys should come.“ and as soon as dana finishes her sentence kiyoomi regrets the talk they had this morning. because of course atsumu wants to go, and komori is already forcing him to go so he really doesn’t have a choice.
——
[undress-pretty sick]
so he is going to the party, alone, because he told dana he would go by himself. that is such a bad fucking idea. he doesn’t like crowds, so really a party is the worst thing he could go to. especially a college student’s party.
as soon has he got in, he could already smell alcohol and weed. the music is so fucking loud, everyone is screaming and laughing, he wish he could have fun like them, he’ll just wait for dana in a corner.
he’s not gonna wait for dana in a corner, he can’t take all the noises and being alone when everyone is having fun is embarrassing. so he just goes in the bathroom, takes a deep breath, this whole situation is ridiculous. he didn’t even have to go, he could just have said no and told komori to fuck off.
or he could just go right now and send a text to dana saying he couldn’t make it, but she will probably not check her phone and search for him the whole time. he stops thinking and throws some water at his face, to clear his mind or just to do something. he has to get out of here, he doesn’t care about dana right now he just wants to get out. he heard someone coming in the bathroom, when the door opens he sees someone he really doesn’t want to see right now, atsumu.
fuck, he probably looks pathetic right now, hands shaking a bit, eyebrows furrowed.
“fuck, were have ya been hidin’ dana and komori are searchin’ for ya.” atsumu doesn’t look angry for once, he almost looks nice, almost.
“well tell them i went back to the dorms.” kiyoomi’s voice was even more shaky than he thought.
“damn ya look like ya’ve seen of ghost.”
“thanks miya, that’s making me feel ten time better all of sudden.” he doesn’t want to talk, he wants to get out of here, and he’s talking to atsumu so that really isn’t making him feel better.
“do ya want me to walk ya to the dorms? ya really don’t look so good.” atsumu’s voice sounds concerned, god he definitely looks miserable.
“yes, please.”
——
[deep sea-snail mail]
the walk to the dorms is very quiet, none of them really knows what to say, but it’s not awkward.
kiyoomi allows himself to look at atsumu, because even if his personality is shitty, he’s truly beautiful. he has a hooked nose, a sharp jawline, his eyes are focused on god knows what but they’re warm and distant at the same time, his skin is tanner than sakusa’s. kiyoomi realizes that when atsumu isn’t talking he’s a beautiful being, even in the bathroom at the party, he was concerned for kiyoomi, that was sweet. but that doesn’t mean he cares about atsumu now, he’s still the shitty roommate kiyoomi has to see everyday. the shitty roommate that will blast music trough his speakers, or the one who will flirt with him because he knows that it annoys the shit out of sakusa.
atsumu left kiyoomi alone in their shared dorm.
——
[the gaping mouth-lowertown]
this time atsumu is in his bed when sakusa wakes up. snoring softly, he’ll probably have a hangover, fortunately for him it’s a day off.
kiyoomi doesn’t have anything planned, he’s probably going to draw some things for his classes, read and sleep a bit more. he’s not the type to do a lot of things during days off.
he looks at his phone, first it was 1pm, god he slept a lot. second, dana sent him a text.
dana :)
hey i’m so sorry for yesterday, atsumu told us u weren’t feeling okay, hope u’re feeling better <33
you
hey yeah don’t worry it was nothing really.
dana is always worried about him when she doesn’t have to be. it’s just how she is.
he heard someone moving next to him, probably atsumu waking up.
“hey princess, ya feelin’ better?“ definitely atsumu waking up. obviously he’s gonna be a shit about it. it was to good to be true.
“don’t call me that, omi is already enough.“ says sakusa, harshly.
“okay okay, listen, right now i kinda have a hangover but later can we go eat somethin’ like going at a coffee or sum.“
well that was unexpected.
does atsumu just wants to make a fool out of kiyoomi, or does he genuinely wants to spend time with him? what were they going to talk about? it’s probably gonna be awkward. but maybe it’s not just them both? maybe there would be atsumu’s brother? which would make the thing better honestly. but why the fuck would he hang out with kiyoomi? they’re not even friends, right?
“huh yeah sure, who will be there?“
atsumu took a bit too long to respond.
“just ya and i, omi.“ he sounds a bit nervous too, god what is happening.
——
[dry food-palehound]
atsumu told kiyoomi to be there at 7pm. kiyoomi is still asking himself a million questions without answers. it’s still atsumu after all, a dumb and arrogant guy that kiyoomi dislikes, yeah, totally.
he put on a white button dow underneath a ligh brown sweater and brown pants. nothing to fancy, since he doesn’t want to impress atsumu at all.
the weather’s nice, the sun is beginning to set, there isn’t much cloud. kiyoomi walks to the coffee where he can already see atsumu waiting for him. once again, he allows himself to stare. he seems quite nervous, it’s impressive to see that when people don’t look at him he seems nice and sweet, it almost make kiyoomi want to kiss him, almost.
when atsumu looks up and sees kiyoomi a smile appears on his lips, a small smile, not an arrogant grin. god he’s fucking beautiful, but that’s just an objective thought.
he settles in the chair in front of atsumu. the blond starts to ramble about random things like his brother or his friends. it’s quite an adorable sight, atsumu’s eyes light up when he talks about something he particularly likes, he pretends to hate his brother but he really doesn’t, you can see the fond look on his face. kiyoomi’s surprised to see that he’s at ease with atsumu, everything feels simple, he even let out small laughter when he feels like it. for once he feels like atsumu likes him, kiyoomi wants to be with atsumu. it’s weird, he doesn’t act like usual, sakusa likes this atsumu, the one with a sweet attitude, with bright eyes and a big honest smile. yes, he’s still loud and all, but it doesn’t feel the same, he feels like there’s only atsumu and him.
and yes maybe he’s being a little sappy right now but who cares.
they went to their shared dorm together that day.

[good looking-suki waterhouse]
sakusa couldn’t really sleep, well you see, he’s thinking about atsumu and fuck maybe he has a little crush on him since he saw him for the first time, because yes, he has thought so much that he recalled the first time they met.
and yes maybe that atsumu and his stupid lazy smile, his half opened eyes did something to him. and after seeing him like he saw him at their little ‘date’—like dana likes to call it, because yes he told dana, he tells her everything—maybe this little crush has grown bigger. because now atsumu isn’t only hot but he’s nice and interesting too. the problem is, they don’t know each other that much, sakusa knows a lot about atsumu because he talked a lot on their ‘date’ but atsumu knows nothing about sakusa, how could a sane person have a crush on someone without knowing them?
on their ‘date’ he got atsumu’s number, which makes him even more nervous because god knows what he could say, he wants to talk with atsumu, but what could he possibly say? once again,this whole situation is ridiculous, he didn’t even liked him two days ago and now he’s nervous just at the thought of talking to him.
well apparently he doesn’t need to send the first text because atsumu texts him two minutes after kiyoomi’s little mental breakdown.
miya
hey omi!!! i really liked what we did last time we gotta do it again ;))
(yes, kiyoomi still calls him miya because he’s undercover right now)
you
yeah, sure why not but next time at a library so i don’t have to hear you being angry at your brother when he’s not even here, i truly suffered ://
miya
yeah yeah sure (no but did u like it????)
you
(of course i liked it dw :))
he has to sound rude but not too rude, so this should be good. another problem about this situation is that sakusa overthink absolutely everything. so he’ll probably act weird at some point and atsumu will ask him what’s up so he will dumbly confess and embarrass himself. that’s how he think it’s gonna happen.
because kiyoomi has always been realistic, he’s not going to hope for something that will never happen. because he’s also convinced that atsumu doesn’t like him, and for now he’s not really wrong they talked without annoying each other only one time and kiyoomi is already head over heels for the man.
——
[life time warranty-cyberbully mom club]
they did go to other dates, even at a library, like kiyoomi at suggested. he learnt a lot of things about atsumu. he enjoys every type of movies and he loves shitty rom-com even more (kiyoomi teased him for it, who wouldn’t), atsumu surprisingly is not the crying kind.
they discovered that when watching a movie and that kiyoomi was the one crying his heart out (it was a very sad movie tho). the fake blond also doesn’t have a dad, he grew up with his twin and his mom, he had a crush on his high-school captain and he got rejected (kiyoomi laughed a lot at that and atsumu was very much offended). he also has tiny freckles on the bridge of his nose and his eyes are a shade of brown that is almost orange. when atsumu smiles one of the side of his mouth goes naturally higher, and he has very sharp canines.
so yes maybe kiyoomi is head over heels for the man, at first he though it was just a dumb little crush, but the world isn’t made like this.
so he almost think he has to confess, almost.
everything is becoming ridiculous in this ‘crush situation’ because, yes, kiyoomi doesn’t like touching people, he never understood why but it’s just not his thing; but he really wants to touch atsumu, being in his arms, being kissed by his ridiculously pretty mouth. kiyoomi think that atsumu must have understood his train of thoughts at some point because he was somehow closer all the time; knees touching when they’re sitting on a bench, hands brushing when they’re walking down a street. it’s making kiyoomi go crazy, because he can’t stop his train of thought and he doesn’t even want to.
atsumu :)
hey omi!!! i couldn’t see u today so do u want to go eat sum???
(yes, kiyoomi calls him atsumu now, he has gone weak.)
you
yeah sure be there at 7
the first time kiyoomi had called atsumu by his given name the blond couldn’t stop smiling like an idiot, kiyoomi still doesn’t understand this reaction since it’s just a name but it’s nice seeing atsumu so happy, so he just kept calling him that.
atsumu came to pick kiyoomi at 7 pm, like kiyoomi asked. they’re walking in silence, not an awkward one, the walks were always nice with atsumu. he would just tell little anecdotes and laugh at them, it never changes, he always does that.
well apparently this time he’s not doing that since he think grabbing kiyoomi’s hand is a better idea, kiyoomi’s hand and face are burning, he doesn’t even understand what the fuck is happening but it’s nice, a little confusing but nice. atsumu’s hand is dry, but its not uncomfortable, nothing with him would be uncomfortable if kiyoomi’s honest. but the black haired is very much touch-starved so he wants way more than just holding hands. they’re finally where they wanted to go (the walk to the coffee shop felt like a million years with atsumu’s hand in his). this date was the best and the worst at the same time, atsumu seems more nervous than the previous ones.
“omi can i ask ya somethin’?“ the blond is fidgeting with his finger.
kiyoomi hums in response.
“those things we’re doin’. they’re dates right?“
there’s a million sentences in kiyoomi’s mind. what is he supposed to say? atsumu is probably not kidding right now, at least it doesn’t look like it. is the answer going to make things awkward between them? because kiyoomi really doesn’t want that. let’s just hope for the best.
“yeah, yeah i guess they are.“ sakusa probably looks even more nervous than atsumu.
fortunately atsumu just put on a small smile, it looks like he’s blushing, which makes his face even more pretty.
kiyoomi talks about himself a bit more during this date. atsumu looks at him like he holds all the answers of the world, and kiyoomi almost falls a bit more in love with him, almost.
——
[if you feel alone at parties-blvck hippie]
on the way back atsumu is still holding kiyoomi’s hand, non of them is talking, but this time it’s definitely awkward.
once again, kiyoomi is thinking.
he really wants to confess, right now, but they’re in the same dorm so if he gets rejected it’s gonna be even more awkward than it already is. atsumu throws some glances at kiyoomi from time to time, and it makes kiyoomi’s heart flutter every single time.
kiyoomi is thinking so much that he almost didn’t realize that they’re already in front of the dorm’s door. he’s starting to panic, and it’s not good for him to panic, especially in a situation as dumb as that.
kiyoomi closes the door and when he turns to get to his bed atsumu is in front of him.
“okay. i’m probably gonna start to ramble but it’s fine. i really like ya, fuck omi yer so fuckin’ pretty it makes me want to kiss ya, and every time ya laugh i want to hit my head against a table because i’m like ‘why the fuck am i like that?’ and ya became nice i don’t even know why, but i had an even deeper crush on ya now so yeah i wanted to say it, it’s fine if ya don’t feel the same tho let’s just ignore it and-“
kiyoomi cuts him up with a kiss.
kissing atsumu is like he imagined, his lips are a bit dry but they still have the taste of the coffee he drank earlier. he has a million of butterflies in his stomach. he cups atsumu’s face with his hands, and atsumu puts his hands on kiyoomi’s waist.
the world fucking stops, suddenly he’s glad he felt bad at this party, he’s glad he’s been out with an unbearable roommate, but he’s not glad for being blind all the time they were going on dates or every times he would look at atsumu and feel his face burning.
they finally stop the kiss.
“guess yer stuck with me now, omi.“
it almost feels like the world hates him, almost.
