Work Text:
Atsumu could feel the warm morning sun rays on his face coming through the shutters, and the soft cold sheets beneath him.. Cold, wait. The sheets are cold. Weird usually his natural body heat is enough to keep them warm throughout the night. Natural may be a stretch, he is a gumiho after all.
Slowly opening his eyes, he's tired, more than usual. Yesterday's mission was a tough one but usually he's fine even after missions where he's had to jump off a ten story building or when he's gotten stabbed- it won't matter since his powers are enough to heal him faster. Seriously, what's going on today??
Atsumu shifts slightly to get up, a loud groan cuts through the air and it takes Atsumu a second to realize it was him. Himself.
Huh?? maybe its been more years than es though hes lived and hes actually getting old—
God he’ll have to talk with Taluipa and coax her into giving some remedy for this pain. Gosh how do humans live like this Atsumu wonders..
He gets up off the bed lowkey struggling but whatever he thinks, with his feet dragging across the wood floor he enters the kitchen to see his beloved and gorgeous Kiyoomi looking like an angel with the way the lights splayed out from behind him, oh and Atsumu's blurry sights probably in play here too. Since when was his vision so bad? He can barely even see his omi omis face..
Kiyoomi, like a damned assassin senses Atsumu and turns towards him,
“Oh hey you're up. Slept in today huh?” Kiyoomi gave him a look up and down, stared at Atsumu for a second,
“Theres some left over coffee in the pot. I made too much for myself so you can just have the rest.” He said getting back to whatever book he's reading after deciding his judgement of Atsumu had been fulfilled.
“Nahhh C’mon Omi y’know i dont need coffee.” Atsumu drawls out, leading to Kiyoomi to put his book down and contemplate for a second with the wall and turn in his seat to get a better look at his beloved fox,
“Youre slurring, you've got bags, and you're dragging your feet,” He states as a matter of fact and squints at Atsumu,
“You look pretty human today actually now that I mention it..”
Atsumu scoffed, pffted, and chortled. Then gawked. Then remembered. The mission, and who he was fighting.
Darn
His eyes widened and he slowly, made his way to the ground and knelt
“What are you doing??” Kiyoomi shook his head at him,
“You’ll be fine if you got turned human” He says and turns back to his book trying his hardest to stifle his mischievous smile. His statement causing Atsumu to snap his head up in his direction,
“Fine. Fine?!” Standing back up from his spot, pushing with his hands against the floor and grunting
“Whew..” He points to his lover shaking his finger towards him,
“This simple movement,- I felt dust lift off my bones as I got up. This is not fine.” Trying his best not to freak out he re-thinks the whole fight and mission from yesterday and how the hell his opponent managed to cast that kind of spell onto him.
“Drink your coffee and you'll be fine.”
“So you admit this situation is not fine!” Atsumu states pointing a finger towards kiyoomi again,
Kiyoomi done with this bullshit looks at him putting his book down with a slight slam,
“Just drink the damn coffee Atsumu, we can go to Taluipa later she’ll fix it..”
“Right.. You're right!” Atsumu puffs and starts to pace
“Probably.” Kiyoomy mutters under his breath
“What was that?”
“I didnt say anything” Gaslighter.
“Yes you did- I heard you loud and clear Omi ya really think this might be irreversible?”
Kiyoomi sighs turning back to wall sensei for advice,
“I think that we should get you checked for auditory hallucinations while we're at it.” He says like he's announcing the date and flips a page in his book, which to atsumus eyes look upside down but maybe he needs to get checked for hallucinations in general.
“We don't know what type of issues human you might have anyway.” Flipping another page. Seriously, is he even actually reading it?!
Weak. His human body is so incredibly weak. The type of issues human Atsumus had today include an energy crash– bad idea to have that coffee. A huge painful headache, and a broken arm. Listen, Astumus is not invincible with his powers but he certainly wouldn't have broken his arm doing simple yard work. Just how frail is his body exactly, has he been depending on his powers too much?
All he had to do was move a crate from off the porch down the steps and to the corner of the yard it really wasn't much complicated, and yet.
Now, normally Atsumu would just use his telekinesis and lift it, but no- the bastard from yesterday decided it would be funny for him to experience human life. The said bastards dead and most likely casted that spell as his last act to spite Atsumu. He sure hopes this spell isnt forever..
Nonetheless, Atsumu was gonna get that work done. It's not like he's weak he thinks bending down to pick up the crate, preparing to come back up to standing from his crouched position.
Huh, that's weird nothing moved. He tries again to use his legs and lift the crate but it just wont move.
“Stubborn f’uckin cube” Atsumu muttered under his breath and changed his stance, pushing against the crate. Yes this’ll work. Until it didn't. While pushing the box down the stairs, all it took was one wrong step. Why the hell are humans always one wrong step away from almost dying? How does one even live like this??
His ankle bent weird and he impaled his poor spine on the sharp edge of that.. That crate.
The grass was itchy and the sun was blinding Atsumu's already exhausted eyes. Atsumu moved to get up, then let out a hiss and wrapped his hands around his leg. The sound of the sliding door caused Atsumu to look up, squinting his eyes in pain.
Greaaat, great, great, great. Perfect timing his beautiful- human omi omi walked out.
“Gosh you couldn't have left it till later?” he rushed towards Atsumu who was looking up at him with so much sadness in his brown eyes it made him look cute. Almost.
“Is this how ya live Omi,” He grabbed Kiyoomi's pale hands “It can't be, this is horrible!” He groaned, letting go of his hands with a frustrated sigh and averts his eyes.
“What if there is no later? And I'm stuck like this forever? Will you still love me even if I'm not able to protect you?”
“You don't need to protect me you can barely protect yourself,” Kiyoomi shoots back
“Hey!” Atsumu snaps his neck back towards him
“If you must know, the only bad side is that I won't be entertained anymore.” Atsumu shoots kiyoomi a confused look,
He looks off into the distance like he's reminiscing about an old memory,
“Like a king without a jester..” He sighs, then is met with a slap on his arm from Atsumu.
“What is wrong with you, if anything I'm the king.”
“Mm yeah sure” kiyoomi nods, his curls bouncing with his movement.
“I’ll age..” he turns to kiyoomi, “ill get wrinkles and get ugly. I might even get cellulous.” he states looking dead into kiyoomis eyes
“Youre already ugly and you already have cellulose." Kiyoomi ruffles his hand through blonde tufts, and Atsumu lets out an offended gasp,
“I have cellulose!?” Kiyoomi simply gets up ignoring Atsumu’s protests and bickers, while lifting him and slowly urging Atsumu to take slow steps towards their car.
After the hospital trip Atsumu now has a cast on his left and is sitting in Taluipas office.
“You reckless idiot,” Taluipa sighed clearly frustrated, and then– she smiled?- is Atsumu seeing that right? She's smiling. As a matter of fact she is laughing. At Atsumu.
She slowly comes to a stop and tilts her head,
“You think that goblin had the power to permanently make you human?” and at Atsumu's dead serious stare all she does is burst out laughing even more. Atsumu turns to kiyoomi only to see a traitor.
He's laughing too. Cackling, trying his best to hide it but he sucks.
“Ahh you’ll be fine by tomorrow noon, probably.” Taluipa offers
“Why the hell does everyone keep guessing on my fate” Atsumu lifts his hands and says into the air.
“Yah, talk respectfully to your elders.” Now she's more serious. That's the Taluipa he knows.
Exiting border patrol, he gets into the car with his kiyoomi– who he, will gladly have an immortal life with again as he's planned.
“Looks like I wont age.. Hah!” He cocks his head to kiyoomi, “You’ll get old.. And pruney.. While ill b–”
Kiyoomi interrupts him,
“Dont get ahead of yourself, I’ll still look better than you.”
Rude. Atsumu scowls at him and turns back to face the front.
“And don't think you've lowered your chances of Alzheimer's. Foxes can get it too.”
“Ugh dont remind me” He groans and pinches the bridge of his nose.
“ at least my leg’ll heal faster” He mentions, very glad actually only for his good mood to be knocked down by his own lover, his omi, his everything who very rudely says,
“Just try not to break your other leg getting out of the car. You're still human for today.”
