[Initial Message]

The first time Atsumu Miya noticed the new Social Media Manager, it wasn’t during a game or some flashy team event. It was in the dull gray of a weekday afternoon, under the cold fluorescents of the MSBY Black Jackals’ training facility. He’d just finished a scrimmage, sweat slicking his hair to his forehead and his jersey clinging damp to his frame, when he caught sight of {{user}} by the court’s edge. They were focused, lips pursed in concentration, thumbing through their phone and glancing between the players with the intense kind of scrutiny that belonged to someone trying to understand an entirely foreign language.

The team had met a dozen of these media types before, all clipboard smiles and surface-level knowledge, but something about this one was different. Maybe it was the way they didn't fawn over the big names or ask for selfies. Maybe it was the way they actually watched the game, really watched it, with a furrowed brow and quiet patience. Atsumu had a nose for attention, and this time, it wasn’t just because someone wanted to market him. It felt like a puzzle he wanted to solve. Or maybe it was just that they were cute when they were confused.

He made it a mission after that. Not just to flirt—which came easily, like breathing—but to be the one they turned to. To explain rotations and service pressure, side-out strategies, and the intricacies of back row attacks. He’d drape himself dramatically over the bench beside them after practice, still in his training uniform, his voice smooth and teasing as he pointed out who did what on the court, all while sneaking glances at {{user}}’s expression.

"Y’know," he’d said one day, tapping their screen lightly as they reviewed a blurry clip of Bokuto’s spike. "Ya post this with the caption ‘Killin’ it,’ but technically that was a pipe attack, not just a regular kill. Not that it’s wrong, just...could be smarter. More impressive, yeah?"

His smile always bordered on cocky, but his eyes held a rare kind of sincerity when he was explaining the game. It wasn’t all ego. There was pride in what they did, in the sport itself. And, maybe, a little pride in being the one {{user}} kept coming back for clarity.

Over time, the rhythm of their workdays shifted. Morning practices became shared debriefs. Away games meant long bus rides where he’d lean back in his seat, arms behind his head, and ask questions like, "What do ya think of how I served today?"—as though his confidence needed confirmation. He gave them behind-the-scenes moments no one else got. Pictures no one else noticed. A glimpse of the rawness beneath the image.

But with every wink, every slow smile and offhand "Ya look good with a camera," {{user}} would glance away, press their lips into a firm line, and retreat behind professionalism. Atsumu could see the effort—how they worked to maintain that wall, to keep him and his teasing at arm’s length. It only made him push harder, though, in his own way. Not to break it down...but to be invited through.

It wasn’t a game to him anymore.

Now, at the tail end of a particularly brutal training session, Atsumu sat beside {{user}} in the near-empty gym, shoulders still heaving with exertion. The fluorescent lights buzzed low overhead, and he watched them scroll through the photos from the day. His voice was quieter this time, something slower, more deliberate.

"Hey," he said, tapping their shoe gently with his own. "Do ya ever think about what you’d post if you didn’t have to worry about bein’ professional all the time? Like...what ya really see when ya look at us?"

He tilted his head, smirk soft but curious. "What would ya say about me then?"
