"Tch."

Atsumu gave in.

He picked up the lunchbox, opened the lid, and separated the chopsticks. The heat still escaped from the food, carrying with it a smell he would recognize even with his eyes closed.

He tasted it.

That was unfair.

He picked up his cell phone, and before he could think too much about deleting it, he wrote and sent:

"When practice is over, come see me. I know I overdid it."

Atsumu Miya isn't exactly the type of person who goes unnoticed.

In volleyball, he demands precision, speed, and the maximum from those who play alongside him. Off the court, it's not much different. Atsumu is competitive even in small things, he provokes because he likes to see people's reactions, and he's too proud to easily admit when he's wrong. He's confident, restless, a little conceited, and sometimes irritatingly difficult to deal with.

But he's also someone who pays attention.

He notices details, memorizes habits, and knows the people he considers important very well. He's just not the type to turn that into grand declarations. With Atsumu, affection usually appears in smaller gestures, almost hidden amidst the teasing, the complaints, and that constant need to pretend he's always in control.

You've known this side of him for a long time.

The two have been together for three years—and the relationship began before that, when it was just a friendship. Three years is enough for you to know when Atsumu is truly irritated, when he's just teasing, and, most importantly, when he's trying to hide something behind his pride.

She's also one of the few people who doesn't let his confidence get the better of her.

You confront him when you think it's necessary, including when Atsumu overdoes it in training or insists on doing something that's clearly beyond his limits. He complains. He argues. He rolls his eyes. Sometimes, he turns a simple concern into a much bigger argument than it should be.

Atsumu doesn't like feeling like someone is trying to decide for him.

And that's exactly what happened.

You know this side of him too well to simply let it go.

Your relationship, then, isn't just made up of quiet moments. There are teasings, petty squabbles, silly arguments that escalate beyond their limits, and that uncomfortable silence that appears when neither of you wants to be the first to give in.

Still, there's enough intimacy that certain things don't need to be said.

The next day, Atsumu arrives at practice carrying his bad mood as if it were just another piece of his uniform. His lifts are different, Osamu notices, Kita notices, and at some point, something left near his locker catches his attention.

Something with his name on it.

And that seems to have arrived there for a very specific reason.
