Ushijima Wakatoshi had never paid much attention to positions before.
He had always focused on precision, control, endurance. He knew his own strength, the way his body worked, the way he could move with purpose. Most of the time, he stuck to the same tried-and-true motions, favoring what was familiar and effective. But tonight, you had looked at him with those eyes, voice soft and teasing as you asked, "Wakatoshi, can we try something different?"
He hadnât expected much of a difference. A position was a position, right? But when he had you pressed against the wall, your legs wrapped around his waist as he lifted you effortlesslyâ
Everything changed.
The first deep thrust had your breath hitching. The second had you whimpering, nails clawing at his shoulders. And by the thirdâ
You were gone.
Your body tensed up so fast, so hard, that Ushijima nearly stopped, his brow furrowing as he felt you clench down tight around him, your head dropping back against the wall, mouth open in a silent moan.
His grip on your thighs tightened instinctively, muscles flexing as he kept you lifted, held, pinned completely at his mercy.
And then he felt it.
The sharp, desperate way you squeezed him. The way your entire body shuddered, overwhelmed and trembling.
Ushijimaâs breath caught.
âAlready?â His deep voice was laced with something close to wonder.
You gasped, hands gripping his broad shoulders, nails pressing into his skin. Your thighs quivered around his waist, your body limp from the force of your release. Overstimulated, wreckedâcompletely unraveled.
A slow, deliberate breath left him as realization settled in.
This position had made you lose control.
His jaw clenched, something dark flickering behind his usually calm expression. He wanted to see it again.
His grip on your thighs adjusted, his large hands spreading your legs wider, securing you against the wall like you weighed nothing. And before you could even recover, before the aftershocks of your first orgasm had fully settled, he started moving again.
Deep. Steady. Unforgiving.
His pace was measured, controlled, devastating. Each thrust pressed you tighter against the cold surface, the contrast of his warmth and the chill of the wall making your senses blur. Your body twitched in response, oversensitive and already on the edge again.
Your breath hitched, your back arching against the wall, and Ushijima watched.
His sharp eyes took in everythingâthe way your lips parted, the way your hands clawed at his skin, the way you gasped his name between every movement. His grip on you tightened, his fingers digging into your thighs as he picked up the pace just slightly, enough to make you shudder.
âYou like this.â His voice was calm, deep, but something about it felt different now. Like he was coming to terms with something new. Something he didnât know about himself before.
Something dangerous.
The way your body reacted to him, the way you broke apart so quickly in his armsâ he liked it.
A lot.
His lips brushed against the shell of your ear, his voice dropping even lower. âI like it too.â
Your head tipped forward, forehead pressing against his shoulder as your nails raked down his back, the pressure inside you tightening so fast it was unbearable.
You whimpered, the sensation of being lifted, stretched, completely at his mercy making your head spin. Ushijima could feel it. The way you clenched down around him again, the way your thighs trembled in his grip.
He exhaled sharply, holding you even tighter.
âCum,â he ordered, voice like gravel and heat.
Your entire body obeyed.
Pleasure slammed through you like a tidal wave, your moan caught somewhere between a cry and a gasp as you shattered all over again, trembling in his grasp, body locking up completely. The force of it left you whimpering, completely spent, completely undone.
Ushijima groaned at the feeling of you convulsing around him, his pace unwavering as he rode you through it, relishing in how easily he could pull you apart.
When you finally collapsed, head lolling back against the wall, Ushijima didnât move.
He kept you pinned against him, breathing deeply, grounding himself in the sensation of you still trembling in his arms.
His lips ghosted over your jaw, warm and firm as he pressed a kiss to your templeâbut he wasnât finished.
With a sharp inhale, he pulled back slightly, shifting his grip on your thighs before his hips snapped forward, hard. A strangled cry tore from your throat, your fingers clawing at his back as the sudden force sent pleasure crashing through your system all over again.
âToo much?â His deep voice rumbled against your skin, deceptively calm despite the way his movements turned unrelenting.
You barely managed a responseâyour mind too fogged, your body too overwhelmed as he pounded into you, each thrust deeper, harder, perfectly precise.
The intensity coiled tight inside you, every nerve on fire as you felt it creeping up againâfast, uncontrollable.
His grip on you tightened as he felt it too. The way your walls fluttered, how your legs trembled around him. He knew.
âYouâre going to cum again.â It wasnât a question. It was a statementâa promise.
And he made sure of it.
Another deep thrust, another perfectly timed roll of his hips, and your vision whited out. The pleasure hit like lightning, your entire body jerking, shaking, completely wrecked as you gushed around him, soaking his thighs, the sound obscene in the air.
Ushijima groaned, his jaw clenching as the feeling dragged him over the edge with you. His hips stuttered, his pace faltering as he drove in one last time, spilling deep inside you with a low, guttural moan, his fingers bruising into your skin as he held you against the wall, his.
For a moment, neither of you movedâjust the sound of ragged breaths and the faint, aftershocking trembles of your body in his grip.
Then, slowly, his lips brushed your jaw once more, voice deep, steady, satisfied.
âWe'll have to do that again.â
The first thing you register upon waking up is warmth. A steady, lingering heat against your back, an arm draped lazily over your waist, the rhythmic rise and fall of a chest pressed flush against you. The scent of something familiarâclean linen, faded cologne, a hint of salt from the sea breeze slipping through the open windowâfills your senses. Oikawaâs grip tightens instinctively as you shift, pulling you impossibly closer, his face buried against the curve of your shoulder.
âTooru,â you murmur, voice still thick with sleep.
A muffled groan is his only response. His body is heavy against yours, limbs tangled in a way that makes movement difficult. You try once more to shift, but his arms only tighten around your waist.
âNope,â he grumbles, his voice rough from sleep. âNo getting up yet. Itâs illegal.â
You huff, already knowing how this is going to go. Sunlight spills in through the sheer curtains, painting the walls of your shared apartment in soft golden hues. The distant sound of life beyond the bedroomâmuffled chatter from the streets below, the occasional car passing by, the faint melody of a street performerâs guitarâreminds you that the world is awake, moving. And yet, Oikawa remains completely unfazed, as if time doesnât exist beyond the warmth of your shared bed.
âI have things to do,â you say, though your voice lacks conviction.
âNo, you donât.â
âYes, I do.â
âLies,â he mutters against your skin. âYou have exactly one obligation today, and thatâs to stay right here in bed with your incredibly handsome husband.â
You roll your eyes, a small smile tugging at your lips. âIs that so?â
âMhm,â he hums, pressing a lazy kiss to your shoulder. âItâs scientifically proven that getting up too early makes you ten times more cranky.â
âMore cranky?â you repeat, raising a brow. âAre you saying Iâm cranky now?â
He hesitates.
ââŠNo?â
You elbow him lightly, and he lets out a dramatic wheeze, flopping onto his back as if youâve mortally wounded him. âOh my god, the betrayal,â he groans, throwing an arm over his eyes. âI let you into my home, my heart, my bedâand you stab me in the stomach.â
âYouâre ridiculous,â you say, but youâre already smiling.
âIâm wounded.â
âYouâre fine.â
He peeks at you from under his arm, brown eyes still hazy with sleep but glinting with amusement. âYouâre not even going to check?â
âI know youâre fine.â
He lets out another exaggerated groan before reaching for you again, pulling you back into his embrace. This time, you let yourself sink into his warmth, the sound of the city fading into the background. His fingers trace lazy patterns against your arm, absentminded, soothing. The morning breeze flutters through the curtains, carrying with it the scent of freshly baked bread from the bakery down the street, mingling with the salt-tinged air of Barcelonaâs coastline.
âYou really donât wanna stay in bed with me?â he asks after a while, voice softer now, more genuine.
You sigh, pressing your cheek against his. âI do, but I also donât want to waste the whole day.â
Oikawa scoffs, shifting to press a kiss to your temple. âItâs not wasting if weâre spending it together.â
âYou always say that when you want me to be lazy with you.â
âBecause itâs true,â he argues. âCâmon, just a little longer? Please?â He tilts his head, lips brushing against your jaw as he whispers, âFor me?â
You groan, knowing youâre done for. Oikawa is many thingsâdramatic, annoying, way too smug for his own goodâbut heâs also incredibly hard to say no to, especially when heâs warm and sleepy and clinging to you like this.
âFine,â you mumble. âBut only for a little longer.â
A victorious grin spreads across his face as he pulls you flush against him, tangling your legs together under the sheets. âSee? I always win.â
âYouâre insufferable.â
âAnd you love me.â
You roll your eyes but donât bother denying it. Instead, you let yourself relax into his arms, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, the hum of the city outside, the quiet comfort of being wrapped up in him. The world can wait a little longer.
Maybe, just maybe, staying in bed with him isnât the worst way to spend the day.
The crisp morning air hit you the moment you stepped outside, your cheeks still flushed with residual heat from the sheer embarrassment of what had just transpired. You adjusted the strap of your bag over your shoulder, tugged your coat tighter around your body, and walked. Faster than necessary, eyes fixed ahead, ignoring the unmistakable ache in your legs that served as an unrelenting reminder of last night.
What the hell did I do?
The question looped in your mind as you trudged down the sidewalk, each step bringing another humiliating flashback. The way his lips had trailed down your throat, the rasp of his voice murmuring your name like a prayer, the heat of his breath against your ear.
The way you begged for him.
You groaned out loud and shook your head violently as if you could physically shake the memories loose. This was bad. This was so bad.
By the time you reached your apartment, your heart was still hammering in your chest, the adrenaline of your walk of shame still rushing through your veins. The second your key turned in the lock and you pushed the door open, a familiar weight landed against your legs.
âHey, buddy,â you murmured, bending down to scoop up your cat, pressing your face into his fur for a moment of comfort. He meowed in response, blinking up at you with wide eyes before batting at the collar of your coat.
At least he wasnât judging you.
You set him down and made a beeline for the shower, peeling off your clothes as fast as you could. You needed to wash off Kuroo Tetsurou, scrub away any remnants of his touch, his scent, his presence.
But no matter how hot the water was, no matter how much you lathered soap against your skin, it didnât leave you. The heat of his hands, the press of his bodyâit was all still there, lingering like an impossible-to-ignore memory.
You groaned, pressing your forehead against the shower tiles, letting the water cascade down your back. Why him? Of all people, why Kuroo?
The man drove you insane. Always teasing, always pushing, always so damn smug. Youâd spent years butting heads with him, rolling your eyes at his antics, gritting your teeth at his unrelenting wit.
And yetâŠ
The minute he touched you, something inside you had snapped. Youâd met his fire with fire, let yourself get lost in the burn of it.
And worst of all?
You wanted to do it again.
You sucked in a sharp breath and shut the water off, gripping the edge of the shower door for stability. No. No, no, no. This was a mistake. A one-time lapse in judgment.
You would not let yourself fall into this trap.
By the time you were dressed, your cat had curled up on the couch, watching you with half-lidded eyes as you ran a towel through your damp hair. âDonât look at me like that,â you muttered. âI know I made a bad decision.â
He flicked his tail, unimpressed.
You threw the towel into the laundry hamper and collapsed onto your bed, staring at the ceiling, mind still racing. You had to go back to work on Monday and pretend nothing happened. You had to look Kuroo in the eye and act like you hadnât had his name spilling from your lips over and over again.
You squeezed your eyes shut, inhaling deeply.
This was going to be hell.
__
The weekend blurred by in a haze of distractions. You tried everythingâburying yourself in errands, binge-watching dramas, even deep-cleaning your apartment twiceâbut nothing worked. The memory of Kuroo was burned into your brain, lingering at the edges of your mind no matter how hard you tried to shove it away.
You could still feel his fingers digging into your hips. The sharp scrape of his teeth against your neck. The husky, teasing laughter in your ear as he dragged you down with him into the mess of tangled sheets and breathless whispers.
You growled at yourself, shaking off the heat pooling in your stomach.
Before you knew it, Monday morning arrived, and the reality of facing him hit you like a freight train.
You stepped into the office, coffee in one hand, your other gripping the strap of your bag tightly, as if that alone would keep you grounded. You could do this.
Thankfully, Kuroo was nowhere in sight. A quiet sigh of relief slipped past your lips as you made your way to your office, eager to lose yourself in work and push all thoughts of him aside.
Settling into your chair, you opened your laptop, sipping your coffee as you began typing out emails, reviewing contracts, and approving documents. The mundane rhythm of work was a welcome distraction, something solid and predictable to keep you from spiraling back into the humiliating thoughts of the weekend.
That relief, however, was short-lived.
Just as you started drafting a compliance report, your office door swung open without a knock. You glanced up, already annoyed, only to find your boss standing there, arms crossed, an expectant expression on his face.
"Good job getting that campaign finalized," he said, nodding as if you had done something worthy of recognition. "There's a shareholder meeting this week to discuss it. You need to be there."
Your stomach dropped.
Shareholder meetings were always a pain, but that wasnât the real issue. No, the real issue was that Kuroo would be there. Youâd have to see him sooner than you thought.
You quickly straightened in your chair, trying to compose yourself. âSir, I have a full schedule today, a backlog of approvals, and several reports to reviewâsurely someone else from legal can attend?â
Your boss gave you a flat look, clearly unimpressed. âOh, donât even start. Youâre the one who finalized this campaign, so youâre the one explaining it. Be in the meeting room in half an hour.â
You barely had time to protest before he turned on his heel and left, leaving you staring at the empty doorway, mouth slightly open in disbelief. Half an hour.
Your pulse quickened as you slumped back in your chair, rubbing your temples. Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. You had been hopingâno, prayingâfor more time before you had to see him again. But now, in thirty short minutes, youâd have to sit across from him in a professional setting, pretend nothing happened, and endure whatever smug, knowing looks he threw your way.
You inhaled deeply, rolling your shoulders back as you forced yourself to think rationally. Kuroo might have the upper hand in teasing, but that didnât mean he had the power here. You were damn good at your job, and if he thought he could waltz in and fluster you with a few smirks and carefully placed jabs, he had another thing coming.
Straightening in your chair, you pulled up the campaign documents, reviewing them with meticulous attention. You werenât just going to walk into that meeting unprepared. No, you were going to walk in with confidence, fully armed with every technicality, every regulation, every damn reason why you knew what you were doing.
You checked the clock. Fifteen minutes left.
With one last steadying breath, you closed your laptop, grabbed your notes, and stood, smoothing out your outfit. Heâs just another coworker. Nothing more. If Kuroo wanted to play games, fine. But you werenât going to lose. Not this time.
Squaring your shoulders, you stood, grabbed your notes, and marched toward the meeting room, determination outweighing the lingering heat in your face. You werenât going to let him have the satisfaction of seeing you flustered.
Fuck him. I have nothing to be ashamed of.
Yet, the moment you stepped inside, you instantly regretted everything.
Kuroo was standing near the far side of the room, engaged in conversation with a few of the shareholders, his usual easygoing charm on full display. His sharp suit was tailored perfectly, the slight smirk on his lips too damn self-assured. And then, as if he could sense you, his golden eyes flicked toward the door, locking onto you instantly.
His knowing smile deepened, and you had to physically fight the urge to turn around and leave.
âAh, there she is,â Kuroo announced, casually gesturing toward you. âMy partner on this campaign.â
Your stomach clenched at the word. Partner?
The older gentleman Kuroo had been speaking to turned, his expression brightening. âOh, so youâre the legal mind behind all of this! Iâve heard good things. Very impressive work.â
You forced a polite smile, waving a hand dismissively. âIt was a team effort.â
But Kuroo, of course, wasnât about to let you downplay your role.
âDonât be modest. She kept me in check the whole time,â he added, his tone dripping with amusement.
You clenched your jaw, swallowing down the urge to shove him into the nearest chair. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Before you could formulate a response, he gestured to the seat beside him. âCome on, have a seat.â
You hesitated for the briefest secondâjust long enough to see the glint of mischief in his gazeâbefore forcing yourself to step forward and sit down, mentally cursing every decision that led you here. That wasnât even enough time to mentally prepare yourself for the inevitable disaster that was seeing Kuroo again.
You hesitated for the briefest secondâjust long enough to see the glint of mischief in his gazeâbefore forcing yourself to step forward and sit down, mentally cursing every decision that led you here.
More people trickled in, the sound of chatter filling the room as the shareholders settled into their seats. Small conversations broke out, professionals exchanging pleasantries while waiting for the meeting to begin. The air in the room was light, easy, full of smooth laughter and the clinking of pens against notepads.
For everyone except you.
You turned to Kuroo, lowering your voice in a hiss. âPartner?â
He chuckled, leaning back in his chair, voice full of teasing amusement. âWould you have preferred I introduce you as my handler?â
Your fingers curled into the fabric of your skirt beneath the table, nails pressing hard enough to leave marks. You were already regretting every single interaction you had with him. Smug bastard.
You narrowed your eyes, about to snap back, but before you could, the meeting was called to order.
Kuroo led the discussion with practiced ease, his voice smooth and effortlessly engaging. He was sharp, confident, weaving through each point with that natural charm of his, drawing in the room like he belonged there. And the worst part? The shareholders loved him.
You mostly kept quiet, answering questions when necessary, keeping your responses measured and precise. You werenât about to let him run circles around you. Still, you had to admitâgrudginglyâthat he was good at this. Too good. His ability to present information with just the right balance of authority and ease was frustratingly effective. It made you irrationally angry, watching the way he commanded the room with nothing but a few smirks and a well-placed joke.
And he knew it. Every so often, you caught him glancing at you out of the corner of his eye, as if he could feel your irritation thrumming beneath the surface.
Bastard.
Just as you thought you were in the clear, your boss spoke up. âWe were actually discussing another campaign that needs some serious revisions. Given how well this one turned out, weâd like the two of you to work on itâon short notice.â
Your breath caught. No. No, no, no.
Panic shot through you like a live wire, your heartbeat hammering against your ribs. You had barely survived the last time you worked with himâmentally, emotionally, professionally. And now they wanted you to do it again?
This wasnât happening. It couldnât be happening. You had told yourself the project was a one-time thing, an unfortunate alignment of responsibilities that you had somehow, miraculously, endured. You had barely made it out of the last collaboration with your sanity intact, and after what happened between you two, the very thought of working with him again made your stomach churn.
It wasnât just about the way Kuroo existed to push your buttons. No, it was the fact that you had let him get under your skinâtoo far under, past the point of irritation and into something more reckless, more dangerous.
And now, you were supposed to do it all over again?
Your fingers clenched under the table, nails pressing hard into your palm to stop yourself from blurting out something unprofessional. This isnât fair. This isnât my fault. You had done your job perfectly. If Kuroo hadnât gone out of his way to be Kuroo, none of this would even be an issue. Now, because of his antics, because he couldnât help himself, you were getting roped into another late-night headache with him.
Your pulse thudded in your ears, drowning out the rest of the boardroom as your mind scrambled for a way out. Any excuse. Any way to get literally anyone else assigned to this instead.
But you knew your boss. He didnât care. He had made up his mind. And Kurooâthat smug bastardâhad probably already figured that out too.
You straightened in your seat, carefully choosing your words. âOf course, but weâd need extended work hours to meet such a tight deadlineââ
Kuroo, the bastard, cut you off effortlessly. âNo need. Weâll just work on it after hours, like last time.â
The room barely reacted, but you felt the shift like a blade pressed against your skin. The way he said itâso casually, so naturallyâit was almost as if the two of you had some kind of established dynamic. Like you were some seamless, perfectly functioning duo.
Which, you absolutely were not.
Your jaw clenched, hands curling into fists beneath the table. And then, just to drive the knife deeper, he added, âIn fact, letâs get started tonight. Over dinner.â
Your head snapped toward him, but he didnât even have the decency to look at you. He was still facing forward, still completely composed, as if he hadnât just publicly tricked you into agreeing to spend more time with him.
Your teeth ground together as your boss nodded approvingly. You had no choice but to nod along, forcing a tight-lipped smile. âSounds great.â
You could feel Kurooâs eyes on you, the weight of his amusement pressing into your skin like an irritating heat you couldnât shake. Your fingers curled around your notes, grip tightening as you fought the very real urge to smack that insufferable smirk right off his face. This bastard.
The shareholders murmured their satisfaction, the meeting officially winding down as the final notes were made. The conversation naturally shifted to small talk as people began gathering their things, but you were barely listening. Your mind was stuck in a loop, replaying the past minute over and over.
Another project. On short notice. With him.
And worseâ
Over dinner.
You inhaled sharply through your nose, schooling your features into something neutral, something capable, because the last thing you needed was for Kuroo to see the way your pulse had spiked at the mere thought of spending another evening alone with him. You could already hear the smugness that would drip from his voice. The lazy, self-satisfied amusement. The way heâd push your buttons just enough to make you snapâbecause thatâs what he did.
You should have argued more. Should have demanded proper work hours. Should have reminded your boss that he had hired you for legal work, not to babysit the marketing team. But instead, you sat there, forcing a strained smile while Kuroo all but preened beside you like a cat that had just caught a canary.
A chair scraped back beside you. He was standing. Stretching. As if he hadnât just successfully trapped you into another night of torture disguised as collaboration.
âLooking forward to it, partner.â
The way he said partner made you want to throw something. Preferably his overpriced watch right out the nearest window.
He strolled past you, his confidence almost offensive, and you knewâyou knewâthat he was expecting a reaction. A flustered glare, a sharp retort, anything to fuel his amusement. But you werenât going to give him the satisfaction.
You took a slow, calming breath and gathered your papers, pressing them together with deliberate patience. Kuroo was still lingering, just at the edge of your vision, but you refused to acknowledge him. If he thought you were going to give him what he wanted, he had another thing coming.
You stood, keeping your expression perfectly schooled, smoothing out your skirt like this was just any other normal meeting, like he hadnât just completely thrown you off balance. Then, just as you turned to leave, you made the mistake of glancing up.
And there he was. Watching you.
Golden eyes, sharp and waiting. The barest trace of a smirk still pulling at his lips.
Something inside your stomach twistedânot in anger, not in frustration, but something dangerous. Something reckless.
You gritted your teeth, ignoring the traitorous warmth creeping up your spine, and turned sharply on your heel, storming toward the exit without a word.
Kuroo chuckled under his breath behind you, the sound deep and far too amused.
You were never going to survive this.
Gurllll
So we're in college and tsuki get dragged into a party, but he ends up chilling in the back just drinking or smoking and listening to music
That's where we first spot him,and like we knew each other from the high-school team but not really know each other y'know?
Then they end up talking and chilling and playing some gamesss like truth or dare or sm
Idk I'm kinda imagining it just chilling and having deep conversations and talk about things in common
Gorl I gotchu ;p ~~
Tsukishima had no idea why he was here.
Correctionâhe knew exactly why. Yamaguchi had guilt-tripped him into coming, saying something about how he needed to "expand his social life" and "stop being a recluse." He hadn't been able to argue much when he was already agreeing just to get his best friend off his back.
Of course, Yamaguchi wasn't even here. Some excuse about having an early morning study session had conveniently surfaced at the last second; Leaving Tsukishima alone at a party he had no interest in attending when a better use of his Friday night would be staying in his dorm with his headphones on, zoning out to some documentary about prehistoric marine life.
All he felt was betrayal.
This was the same useless chatter, the same shallow interactions, the same pointless noise that made him want to walk right back out the door. He leaned against the back wall, drink in hand, half-listening to whatever trash playlist was blaring through the speakers. His gaze occasionally flickered over the room, not because he was interested in anything but because it gave him something to do other than stand there like an idiot.
He didnât recognize most of the people here. He barely cared to. Drunken laughter rang in his ears, a couple stumbled past him, and someone yelled something incomprehensible from the other side of the room. His patience was already wearing thin. His foot tapped against the ground, a subtle tick of irritation.
Then, through the shifting bodies and dim, flickering lights, his gaze caught on someone who was familiar.
You.
You were weaving through the party, clearly uninterested, your expression giving away just how much you didn't want to be here. There was something oddly reassuring about thatâsomeone else in the same predicament. A memory clicked into place after a few seconds. Second-year. Same class. You'd sat a row over by the window, always making snide remarks under your breath whenever the teacher said something ridiculous. He'd smirked at a few of them but never actually talked to you.
And now, here you were. And youâd seen him too.
Your eyes met across the room, a quiet recognition passing between you. Then, without hesitation, you started making your way over. He briefly considered looking away, pretending he hadnât noticed, but it was already too late.
"Hey... Tsukishima, right? We had a class together in second year." You stopped beside him, tilting your head slightly. "Never thought Iâd see you at a party. Let me guessâyou lost a bet?"
He huffed, taking a sip from his drink. "Close. My friend thought I needed to âsocialize more.â"
You deadpanned. "Thatâs disgusting. Iâm sorry for your loss."
A snort left him before he could stop it. "Yeah, well. Heâs not even here."
You raised a brow. "He ditched you?"
"Told me he had âstudyingâ to do." Tsukishima made air quotes with his free hand. "Like that wasnât his plan all along."
"Brutal." You leaned against the wall beside him, arms crossed. "And yet, here you are. Holding up your end of the deal like a good little soldier."
Tsukishima rolled his eyes. "For now."
You smirked, turning your gaze back to the chaotic mess in front of you. "This place is awful."
"Yeah." His gaze flicked over the crowd, unimpressed. "Not sure whatâs worseâthe music or the people."
"Tough call," you mused. "The music is bad, but at least it doesnât try to hold a conversation with you."
Tsukishima let out a quiet, amused exhale. "Fair point."
A beat passed before you sighed, shifting your weight. "You wanna get out of here?"
He glanced at you, gauging if you were serious. He wasnât usually the type to just leave somewhere with someone he barely knew. But this was unbearable. And you? You at least had a functional brain in your head.
His brows lifted slightly, but he didnât hesitate. "God, yes."
Neither of you said anything more as you slipped through the party, out the door, and into the cold night air. The shift was immediateâthe tension of the party dissipating the moment you stepped onto the sidewalk, the dull hum of the city streets far more tolerable than whatever chaotic mess was happening inside.
You walked without a real destination, just following the quiet rhythm of the night, side by side under streetlights casting long shadows across pavement. The city wasnât asleep, but it was quieter now, the occasional car passing by, a few other night-walkers making their way home.
"So, whatâd you do to deserve being dragged here?" he asked, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"I thought I could be like everyone else our age." You sighed dramatically. "Clearly, I make poor choices."
Tsukishima huffed. "Yeah, you and me both."
Silence stretched between you, but it wasnât uncomfortable. The streets were mostly empty, the occasional passing car throwing streaks of light across the pavement. You kicked a stray pebble down the sidewalk, watching it bounce before speaking again.
"So, are you still doing that volleyball thing?"
Tsukishima looked at you, unimpressed. "Wow. Stalker much?"
You rolled your eyes. "Yeah, totally. I spend all my free time keeping tabs on people I barely spoke to in high school."
Tsukishima let out a quiet scoff but found himself smirking despite himself. "Right. Of course."
You nudged him lightly with your elbow before switching topics. "So, whatâs your major?"
He glanced at you, wondering if you actually cared or if you were just making conversation. "Geology."
You raised a brow, a knowing look crossing your face. "Dinosaurs, huh?"
Tsukishima tensed. "What? No. Rocks."
You let out a low laugh. "Sure. Totally not related."
He rolled his eyes, but the corner of his lips twitched. "What about you?"
"Oh, I don't really have one. I prefer to just float. You know, jack of all trades and that jazz."
Tsukishima found that slightly funny, though he didnât show it beyond a slight shake of his head. "So you plan to graduate with nothing, then?"
"Thatâs the dream."
The back-and-forth was easy, natural. Neither of you felt the need to fill every silence with meaningless words, and yet, the conversation kept flowing. Complaints about professors, stupid classmates, the absurdity of group projectsâsomehow, it all felt lighter when it was shared.
At some point, your steps slowed, and you both lingered near a street corner, neither of you saying anything for a few beats. A breeze rolled past, cool against the lingering warmth of the night, and you rocked back on your heels before tilting your head slightly to glance at him.
"You know," you started, drawing out the words, "I half-expected you to be a bigger ass."
Tsukishima blinked at you, arching a brow. "And I expected you to be less annoying."
You let out a low laugh, shaking your head. "So weâre both disappointed. Great."
Tsukishima didnât answer, but he huffed out something close to a laugh, subtle but there. The conversation had been nothing but casual snark and easy complaints, but there was something oddly comfortable about itâlike the banter wasnât just passing time but filling a space that neither of you had realized was empty until now.
Eventually, you stopped at the entrance to the subway station. You looked up at him, hands stuffed in your pockets, shifting slightly on your feet before smirking.
"I like complaining about things with you," you said, voice lighter than before. "Letâs do it again sometime."
And then, just like that, you turned and disappeared down the stairs.
Tsukishima stood there, watching as the train rumbled to life, departing into the tunnels with you on it.
A sigh slipped out of him, and he muttered to himself, "... yeah... me too."
Then, like an idiot, it hit him.
He didnât ask for your number.
Great.
The office buzzed with the sounds of people wrapping up their dayâchairs rolling back, papers shuffling, conversations turning light and easy as employees grabbed their things and made for the exit. The hum of voices filled the space as groups gathered near the doors, excitedly chatting about after-work drinks, dinner plans, or simply the bliss of heading home.
You forced a tight smile as you exchanged goodbyes, nodding along as a coworker clapped you on the shoulder, laughing about how you were always working too hard. If only they knew. If only they realized that, while they were off unwinding at some izakaya, you were about to be trapped in a nightmare.
The moment the last of them walked out, the heavy glass doors swinging shut behind them, your smile dropped. You exhaled sharply, shutting your office door with more force than necessary before leaning against it, letting your frustration take full hold. The walls muffled the distant chatter of people heading to the elevators, but all you could hear was the pounding of your own irritation.
This is ridiculous.
This is so, so ridiculous.
You should have been out there with them. Should have been free from all this nonsense. But noâbecause of him, you were stuck here, hunched over a campaign that never should have made it past a brainstorming session.
There was no way in hell you were about to march down to Kurooâs office and work beside him like some cooperative pair. If you had to see his face right now, you might actually punch him, and that would be hard to explain to HR.
So, you settled for the only tolerable option: virtual communication.
You pulled up the campaign document and began typing out edits, slashing through the legal landmines Kuroo had casually placed like a menace. Your comments were pointed, efficient, andâfineâmaybe a little passive-aggressive.
âYou canât claim this product âenhancesâ anything without direct, proven research. I assume you donât have a scientific study hidden somewhere? No? Then take it out.â
âThis violates four separate consumer protection laws. FOUR, Kuroo. Are you collecting them like trophies?â
âYou know full well we canât guarantee these results. Unless you have psychic abilities, this has to go.â
It didnât take long before Kurooâs own comments started popping up.
âTrophies? I was thinking of making a bingo card.â
âNo psychic abilities, but I do predict youâre going to keep glaring at your screen like that for another ten minutes before you take a break.â
You clenched your jaw, fingers hovering over the keyboard as his infuriatingly smug tone bled through even in text form.
But at least this way, you didnât have to hear his voice. Didnât have to see that lazy grin or the way he leaned against desks like he was permanently comfortable in any given space.
The two of you went back and forth like that for a whileâyour frustrations fueling your edits, his infuriating commentary punctuating them like some editorial nightmare.
Then, suddenlyâ
He stopped responding.
You frowned, staring at the document, watching the cursor blink mockingly. Five minutes passed. Then ten.
Was he ignoring you? Giving up?
You tapped your pen against your desk, debating whether you cared enough to message him first, whenâ
A knock sounded at your door.
Before you could even react, it swung open, and there he wasâKuroo Tetsurou, in the flesh.
His lean frame filled the doorway, one hand resting against the frame like he owned the place. He had his signature smirk in place, but there was something else in his expression tooâsomething entertained, something knowing.
"Miss me?" he drawled, eyes flickering over your stiff posture, your clenched jaw. "You looked like you were having so much fun talking to me virtually, I figured youâd want the full experience."
You inhaled through your nose, already feeling the blood pressure spike.
You exhaled sharply, leveling him with a flat stare. "I figured thereâd be less opportunity for violence."
And honestly, that wasnât even a joke. The amount of restraint it had taken not to march down to his office and rip that smirk off his face with sheer force was immeasurable. You had chosen the safer optionâthe one where you didnât have to look at him, hear him, or risk throwing a stapler at his head. And yet, here he was, standing in your doorway like he had been summoned from hell itself to personally test your patience.
He was insufferable. Smug, self-assured, a walking headache in human form. And if there was one thing you knew about Kuroo Tetsurou, it was that he never did anything without a reason. If he was here, standing in your office when you had both agreed to keep this virtual, then that meantâ
Oh god. He had something planned.
Your fingers twitched, already anticipating whatever bullshit he was about to pull.
Kuroo chuckled, raising his hands in surrender. "I come in peace. Andâ" he paused, reaching into his bag, and before you could stop yourself, your eyes followed the movement.
Your breath caught when he pulled out an expensive-looking bottle of liquor. Not the cheap stuff youâd grab from a convenience store, but something premium, something that had been picked out with actual effort.
"âwith a peace offering," he finished, his smirk tilting just enough to make your stomach twist.
You narrowed your eyes, suspicion lacing your thoughts as you stared at the bottle.
Was this a trick? Some underhanded play? He was good, you had to admit thatâgood at worming his way under your skin, good at making you react, good at playing you like a game he had already won.
Your pride warred with your exhaustion. The righteous fury you had been carrying all day was begging you to tell him to take his bottle and shove it where the sun didnât shine. But then reality settled in.
You were going to be here for hours.
With him.
Your head throbbed at the thought, and suddenly, the idea of a drink didnât seem so bad.
You sighed, rubbing your temple before muttering, "Let me get glasses."
As you turned toward the office cabinet where you kept miscellaneous supplies, including the occasional emergency stash of glassware, you heard the unmistakable sound of Kuroo grinning. Smug. Bastard.
"Well, that was easy," he mused, leaning lazily against the doorframe. "Didnât think you indulged while working."
You shot him a sharp glare as you pulled out two glasses. "Well, I would've been at the bar by now, so consider yourself lucky."
Kuroo snorted, shaking his head. "Hey, blame the boss, not me."
You narrowed your eyes. "If you hadnât pissed him off with that ridiculous campaign, he wouldnât have cracked down on us."
Kuroo just grinned, pouring the drinks. "Technicalities, technicalities."
You huffed, shaking your head as you took a sip, feeling the warmth of the alcohol seep into your system. "Focus, Kuroo. We actually need to get this done."
"I am focused," he said, swirling his glass with lazy amusement. "Multitasking. Drinking and workingâvery efficient."
Rolling your eyes, you dragged your laptop closer, forcing the conversation back on track. Despite his insufferable presence, the two of you made progress, fine-tuning the proposal, fixing the compliance issues, and actually making something presentable.
And, unfortunately, the drinks didnât stop at just one.
At first, it was just a sip to take the edge off. Then another when Kuroo cracked a joke so unexpectedly funny that even you couldn't suppress a snort. Then another after you argued over phrasing in a particularly stubborn section of the document, only to realize you were both right in different ways. Somewhere along the way, the line between tolerating Kuroo and actually enjoying the banter blurred.
Your body felt warm, pleasantly buzzed as the stress of the day melted away. You stopped feeling the sharp edge of frustration every time he spoke, andâmaybe it was the alcoholâbut the way he leaned back in his chair, shirt sleeves rolled up, smirk easy and lazy, didnât seem quite as aggravating as before.
Another drink. Another laugh. Another sidetracked conversation.
Untilâ
Darkness.
When you blinked your eyes open, you werenât in your office.
You werenât even in your apartment.
A sharp, groggy awareness hit you all at once as you registered the unfamiliar ceiling above you, the soft sheets against your skin, the distinct lack of a work desk or legal documents anywhere in sight. And thenâ
The realization slammed into you like a freight train.
You were naked.
Your body stiffened, the cool air against your bare skin making it impossible to ignore the fact that you had absolutely nothing on beneath the sheets. Panic surged through you in waves, your mind scrambling to piece together what the hell had happened last night.
Then came the real kickerâthe slow, steady sound of breathing beside you.
Heart hammering, you turned your headâand there, lying next to you, Kuroo Tetsurou.
Still asleep. Still shirtless. Still in his bed.
Oh, hell no.
Your breath caught in your throat as fragmented flashes of the night before flickered through your mindâhazy, disjointed, but unmistakable.
Your hands gripping his shirt, pulling him closer as your lips crashed against his. The low groan in his throat as he deepened the kiss, his hands gripping your waist, his touch feverish, desperate. The feeling of his fingers dragging down your spine, his mouth trailing along your neck, leaving marks you probably still had.
Your voiceâbreathless, needyâwhispering his first name like a secret. "Tetsurou..."
The way he murmured your name against your skin, his breath hot and ragged. His body pressing against yours, strong, unrelenting, claiming every inch of you. The undeniable fire between you, building, burning, until there was nothing left but the desperate need to consume each other.
Another flashâ
Your head tilting back, a gasp leaving your lips as his mouth devoured the sensitive skin of your throat. The way his voice turned hoarse, possessive, when he whispered in your ear, "You drive me insane."
Your body arching into him, nails raking down his back, every touch sending electric heat through your veins. The sound of the sheets rustling, the deep gravel of his moan, the feeling of being completely, utterly unraveled beneath him.
And thenâ
Your legs wrapped around his waist, his gritted teeth against your shoulder, his grip bruising as he held you still, his body pressing into yours with a hunger that felt like it would break you apart. The way he cursed under his breath, muttering something too low to fully remember, but you knew it was about youâabout how good you felt, how much he wanted you.
Your own voice, breaking on a whimper, a moan, pleadingâ
"Tetsurouâ"
You sucked in a sharp breath, your eyes wide as your pulse pounded violently in your ears. No. No, no, no.
Your entire body tensed, your fingers gripping the sheets as if that alone could ground you. You felt too warm, too aware, heat crawling up your spine as your skin tingled with the ghosts of his touch.
What the hell had you done?
A fresh wave of panic surged through you as you peeked beneath the sheets, confirming what you already knew. Your clothes were nowhere in sight.
You squeezed your eyes shut for half a second, willing yourself to wake up from whatever twisted fever dream this wasâbut when you reopened them, Kuroo was still there, breathing evenly, looking far too comfortable in his sleep.
Your stomach twisted as your brain scrambled for somethingâanythingâthat could explain how this had happened. You had been working. You had been arguing. And then there had been drinks, andâ
Your fingers pressed against your temples.
You werenât an idiot. You knew exactly how this had happened.
You had slept with Kuroo Tetsurou.
And the worst part? The way your body still thrummed with the memory of it.
Shit. Shit, shit, shit.
This wasnât just some nightmare. This was real.
And you were absolutely screwed.
Heart pounding, you slowlyâcarefullyâpeeled the sheets away, trying to move as silently as possible. You needed to find your clothes. Now. Every fiber of your being screamed at you to get out before Kuroo woke up and made this entire situation even more unbearable.
Your eyes darted around the room, scanning for any sign of your belongings. You spotted your shirt draped over the back of a chair, your underwear crumpled on the floor near the bed. No sign of your pants.
Biting your lip, you held your breath and gingerly slid out of the bed, wincing as the mattress shifted beneath you. You crept forward, grabbing your shirt first, hurriedly clutching it to your chest as you crouched down to retrieve your underwear.
Just as you were about to reach for themâ
"Mornin', sunshine."
You yelped, stumbling back against the nightstand, your grip tightening around your shirt as you clutched it against your bare chest. Your wide, panicked eyes shot toward the bed where Kuroo was now very much awake, watching you with groggy amusement. His voice was still thick with sleep, deep and gravelly in a way that sent an unwanted shiver down your spine.
"God, you scared the shit out of me!" you snapped, still holding your shirt up like a makeshift shield.
Kurooâs lips twitched, clearly enjoying this far too much. He stretched, arms reaching over his head, the sheets slipping just enough to reveal more bare skin than you needed to see this early in the morning. His messy hair somehow looked even worse than usual, and yetâ
You shook your head violently, banishing whatever treacherous thought had just formed.
"Trying to sneak out?" he mused, his golden eyes glinting with amusement as he propped himself up on one elbow. "Rude."
You opened your mouth, then shut it, feeling heat creep up your neck. "I don'tâI meanâdid weâ?"
Kuroo chuckled, the sound deep and lazy, sending a fresh wave of mortification through you. "Oh yeah. Several times." He tilted his head slightly, watching as your grip on your shirt tightened. "You were quite eager."
Your face burned, the words hitting you like a wrecking ball to the soul. "Oh my god," you muttered, squeezing your eyes shut for a second, as if that would make the entire situation disappear.
Kuroo smirked wider, clearly relishing your reaction. "I gotta say, I didnât know you had it in you."
You snapped your eyes open, glaring daggers at him, your heart still pounding a million miles an hour. "Shut up, Kuroo. Justâshut up."
"Oh, but you werenât saying that last night," he teased, stretching lazily, the motion making his muscles flex in an unfairly distracting way. "In fact, if I recall correctly, you were sayingâ"
"Donât. You. Dare."
His grin widened. "Tetsurouâpleaseâ" he mimicked in a high-pitched voice, clearly enjoying this too much.
You grabbed the nearest pillow and launched it at his face. "I hate you."
He caught it with ease, laughing. "Hate me? That's funny, 'cause last night, you wereâ"
You groaned, pressing your palm against your face, praying for the ground to swallow you whole.
"I'm leaving." You turned sharply, spotting your pants halfway across the damn room, and cursed under your breath.
Kuroo only hummed, watching you scramble with amusement. "Sure you donât wanna stay for roundâŠwhat was it? Five?"
You threw another pillow at him. "I swear to god, Kurooâ"
His laughter followed you as you yanked your pants on, still red-faced, still mortified beyond belief.
You snatched up the rest of your belongingsâyour shoes, your bag, even the stray hair tie that had somehow ended up on his nightstandâmoving so quickly you nearly tripped in your haste. Every second in this room was a second too long, every moment spent within Kurooâs amused, knowing gaze only fueling the burning humiliation in your chest.
As you shoved your arms through your sleeves, pulling your shirt over your head, Kuroo propped himself up on one elbow, watching you with the kind of infuriating satisfaction that made you want to launch something heavier than a pillow at him.
"See you Monday," he drawled, voice thick with teasing amusement.
You shot him a withering glare, but it only made his smirk widen. Without another word, you turned on your heel and stormed out, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a response.
You could still hear his low chuckle as you slammed the door behind you.
Atsumu Miya has experienced a lot of victories in his life.
Winning nationals in high school, standing on a podium with a gold medal around his neck, putting on his MSBY Jackals uniform for the first timeâall those moments were huge. Defining. Things heâd worked his whole life to achieve.
But none of them compare to this.
None of them feel like the world just tilted sideways, like something fundamental in his chest just snapped into place.
All because of you.
But before that happens, heâs just living his normal lifeâcoming off a grueling practice, shoulders aching, hair still damp from the shower he took before leaving the stadium. Itâs not unusual for him to swing by your place. Heâs been doing it since you were kids, long before volleyball was more than a game he played with Osamu in the backyard.
Back when you were there to keep him and his twin from going at each otherâs throats.
He still remembers it so clearlyâone of their first real fights, barely more than kids, fighting over a volleyball like it belonged to one of them more than the other. He doesnât even remember what was said, just that he and Osamu were practically nose to nose, hands gripping at the ball like it was life or death.
And then, you appeared. Huffing, exasperated, already tired of their nonsense even at that age. You didnât yell at them, didnât try to make them share.
No, you just showed up with a second ball and tossed it right between them.
âThere,â you said, hands on your hips, watching them with that unimpressed look you still give him when heâs being stupid. âNow you both have one. Can we play now?â
It was such a simple thing, but from that moment on, Atsumu couldnât imagine life without you in it.
Through middle school, high school, and even now, with Osamu off running his shop instead of playing, youâre still here.
So he doesnât hesitate to knock on your door, doesnât even think twice about it. Heâs just tiredâwants a break from the noise of his own place, maybe some food if youâve got anything lying around. You always let him crash, let him just be without the weight of being a pro athlete pressing down on him.
But the second the door swings open, everything changes.
Because youâre standing there, looking at him like this is just any other visit, wearing his jersey.
His mind shuts down completely.
The MSBY Jackals jersey. His number printed on the back. His last name stitched across your shoulders.
And worse? You're a mess. Hair disheveled like you just rolled out of bed, mismatched socks pulled halfway to your shins with a pair of his old shortsâones he barely remembers giving you, but you always claimed were comfier than your own clothes. The jersey is oversized on you, hanging loose around your frame, the sleeves slipping past your shoulders.
It shouldnât make his stomach flip like this. Shouldnât make his chest tighten, heat rushing up the back of his neck like heâs some dumb teenager whoâs never talked to a girl before.
But it does.
He stares. Blinks. Forgets how to function.
"Is thatâ" His voice cracks like a loser, and he clears his throat, trying to play it cool. "Is that my jersey?"
You blink at him, then glance down, pulling at the fabric as if you just noticed what youâre wearing.
âOh.â You inspect it briefly before shrugging. âYeah, it is. I got it after your first game. I had to have your number.â
Atsumu feels like he just got hit with a full-speed serve to the chest. You had to have his number?
Like itâs nothing. Like it doesnât mean anything.
And that somehow makes it worse.
Atsumu short-circuits.
Because you mean it. And you donât even realize what itâs doing to him.
His brain is stuck on a loop.
You didnât even realize it was his. You put it on without thinking. Youâve been wearing his number all day, and it wasnât a big deal to you. But it is to him.
His ears burn. His entire face burns. His heart is pounding in his chest, so loud he swears you can hear it.
You frown, tilting your head. "Tsumu? You okay?"
No. No, he is not.
Because suddenly, he gets it.
This feeling in his chest, this weird tightness, this warmth thatâs always been there but never quite like thisâitâs been building for years, hasnât it? And he never noticed.
But now, staring at you in his jersey, standing in his doorway, looking at him like you always have, like you belong hereâ
It finally clicks.
And it wrecks him.
His mouth opens, then closes. He should say something. He should say anything. But what the hell is he supposed to say? That seeing you in his jersey makes his entire body feel like itâs overheating? That the thought of you buying it because you wanted his number is making his brain malfunction? That he suddenly doesnât know how heâs supposed to just go back to normal after this?
He swallows thickly. His hands clench at his sides before he forces himself to shove them into his pockets. "Yeah. Iâuhâguess it looks good on ya. Or whatever."
You give him a look like you donât believe him. Like you know somethingâs off. And he knows youâknows youâre about to press, about to dig in and make him talk about this sudden identity crisis heâs having.
Which means he needs to stop you.
"Anyway," he blurts out, pushing past you and into the apartment like nothing just happened. "Ya got anything to eat? Iâm starvinâ."
You let it slide, just like you always do, shaking your head as you close the door behind him.
But Atsumu?
He knows heâs never letting this go.
Because this isnât just some passing thought, not some weird, fleeting moment of confusion.
This is real. This is big.
And for the first time in his life, Atsumu Miya is terrified.
Worse? He thinks he might like it.
And that might just be the scariest part of all.
Matsukawaâs fingers have always been dangerousâlong, skilled, patient. The kind of touch that never rushes, never fumblesâalways intentional, always knowing exactly how to pull you apart.
And right now, heâs enjoying himself.
âFuck, babe,â he murmurs, his deep voice laced with amusement as his fingers curl inside you just right. His other hand rests lazily against your thigh, keeping it spread while his dark, hooded gaze drinks you in. âYouâre really soaking my hand like this?â
You donât even have the breath to answerânot when his pace is slow, teasing, deliberate. Each drag of his fingers sends pleasure curling up your spine, each flick against that sweet spot making your thighs twitch.
Matsukawa just smirks. He likes seeing you like thisâmessy, desperate, coming undone because of him.
He drags his fingers out almost completely before sinking them back in with an infuriatingly slow roll of his wrist, the slick sound of your arousal making his smirk widen. âHear that?â he murmurs, voice thick with amusement. âSo fucking wet for me.â
His fingers work in deeper this time, curling just so, rubbing in slow, purposeful strokes against that sensitive spot that makes your breath stutter. He watches your face, reveling in the way your brows pinch, your lips parting in a desperate little gasp.
"You can take it," he coaxes, thumb circling your clit in lazy, wet strokes. "I know you can."
He starts a rhythmâhis fingers thrusting deep, dragging back, his thumb applying just the right amount of pressure. The sensations build in slow waves, each motion pulling you higher, tightening the coil in your belly until itâs unbearable.
Your back arches, a choked moan slipping past your lips. He hums at the sound, clearly pleased, and thenâhe speeds up.
The shift is devastatingâhis fingers pumping harder, his thumb pressing just a little firmer, dragging you toward the edge so effortlessly it makes your head spin. He angles his wrist slightly, pressing his fingers deeper, rubbing in steady strokes that make your whole body tighten.
âShitâIsseiââ
âYeah?â His grin is slow, teasing, as he leans in, lips grazing the inside of your knee. âYou close, baby? Feels like youâre about toââ
He shifts again, pressing the heel of his palm against your clit, working you with practiced ease, and thatâs all it takes. Your stomach tenses, pleasure snapping through you like a lightning strike.
You cry out as the pressure inside you snaps, your whole body tensing as pleasure crashes over youâwhite-hot, overwhelming, electric.
Matsukawa groans as you clench around his fingers, but he doesn't stop.
"That's it," he praises, still working you through it, his voice dropping to a rasp. "Fuck, that's so hot."
Your body jerks as another wave builds too fast, too intenseâyour moan cuts off into a strangled whimper as the overstimulation crashes through you, and suddenlyâ
"Ohh, shitâlook at that."
Heat floods your face as pleasure rips through you again, liquid gushing over his hand, dripping onto the sheets. Your thighs shake, muscles spasming, your breath coming in ragged gasps as your body writhes in the aftershocks. A strangled whimper escapes you, your legs instinctively trying to close, but Matsukawa's firm grip keeps them spread. Your fingers clutch desperately at the sheets, your body trembling, overwhelmed and spent.
Matsukawa just watchesâhis tongue flicking over his lips, his expression damn near predatory.
"Fuck," he breathes, finally slowing his movements, letting you collapse against the bed. His fingers slip out of you, glistening, and he hums, clearly impressed.
"Didn't know you could do that, babe," he muses, bringing his soaked fingers to his lips, licking them clean with a smirk. "But now that I doâŠ"
He leans down, voice dropping to a wicked whisper.
"Bet I can make you do it again."
Tension crackled in the air like a live wire as you strode through the halls of the Japan Volleyball Association, your heels clicking against the polished floors with sharp precision. Every step carried purpose, controlled and deliberate, but anyone who knew you well enough would recognize the storm brewing beneath the surface.
Clutching the latest stack of paperwork in one hand, you pushed open the glass door to Kuroo Tetsurouâs office with a level of force that was just shy of inappropriate. You were a professional, after all. Barging in wouldnât doâbut making a statement? That was entirely different.
Kuroo was at his desk, leaning back in his chair with an almost bored amusement, as if he had been expecting you. His sleeves were rolled up, exposing the defined lines of his forearms, and his tie was slightly loosened, the very picture of a man who thrived in controlled chaos. He barely even blinked when you entered.
âAh, Legal finally graces me with their presence,â he mused, setting his pen down atop an open document. âDidnât expect you so soon. Usually, you let the frustration simmer a little longer before storming in.â
You inhaled sharply through your nose, pressing the papers down onto his desk with more force than necessary. âI am not signing off on this.â
Kuroo barely glanced at the document before flicking his gaze back up to you, an infuriatingly lazy smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth. âWhich part?â
You crossed your arms. âThe part where you once again try to push through a sponsorship campaign that violates endorsement regulations, misleads consumers, andâohâcould land the association in serious legal trouble.â
He exhaled dramatically, tapping his fingers against the desk as if deeply inconvenienced. âThatâs a lot of negativity, donât you think? Maybe try looking at the bigger picture.â
You scoffed. âThe bigger picture? Kuroo, the bigger picture is that I keep having to drag you back from launching ideas that would get us fined, sued, orâif weâre luckyâjust scolded by compliance.â
Kuroo chuckled, stretching his arms above his head before fixing you with a look that bordered on scandalous. âYou just love dragging me, donât you?â
Your jaw clenched. âDonât flatter yourself.â
âI wouldnât dream of it,â he said smoothly, pushing himself up from his chair. The sudden shift in proximity sent a subtle prickle down your spine, but you didnât move. He reached for the document youâd slammed down, flipping through it leisurely, clearly unbothered. âSo what youâre saying is, if I tweak the wordingâŠâ
You narrowed your eyes. âIf you tweak the wording, Iâll still reject it. Itâs not just semantics, Kuroo. Itâs about following the rules.â
His lips curled at the edges, sharp and teasing. âI think we both know I prefer to toe the line.â
You let out a sharp exhale, trying to ignore the way your heart beat just a little faster. This was the problem with him. He made everything a game, a cat-and-mouse dance where he got off on pushing boundaries just to see you react.
âIâll tell you what,â he continued, placing the proposal down and leaning against the desk, arms crossed over his chest. âIâll revise the proposalâto your unbearably strict standardsââ
âHow generous.â
ââif you grab drinks with me after work.â
Your grip tightened around your arms, heat creeping up your neck. âIâd rather spend my evening rewriting Japanâs entire corporate compliance manual.â
Kuroo let out a low chuckle, his eyes flickering with uncontained amusement, but there was something else there tooâsomething deliberately slow, measured, almost sultry. He tilted his head slightly, letting his voice drop just a fraction as he said, "Thatâs a shame. I think youâd find our conversations much more stimulating outside the office."
The deliberate weight behind his words sent a traitorous warmth crawling up your neck, but you forced yourself to keep your expression cool, even as your fingers curled against your arms.
You met his gaze head-on, refusing to let him see even a flicker of hesitation. âI think youâd find your ideas much more successful if they didnât regularly violate corporate policy.â
Kuroo grinned, pushing back from the desk, his gaze never leaving yours. âAh, but whereâs the fun in that?â
Before you could fire back, the intercom crackled to life, and Kurooâs secretaryâs voice came through, smooth and professional. "Kuroo-san, your next meeting is waiting."
You shot him a sharp glare, your frustration still simmering just beneath the surface. "Fix it," you said, voice clipped, before turning on your heel and making your way toward the door.
Kuroo, however, didnât move. Instead, he leaned back slightly, watching you leave with a slow, unapologetically amused expression. His gaze lingeredâmaybe a little too longâlowering slightly as you walked away, the sway of your hips pulling his attention before you disappeared into the hallway.
He exhaled through his nose, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Oh, Iâm definitely fixing something."
You straightend your posture, pushing away the lingering heat of irritation (and something else) that settled over you. This wasnât new. This wasnât surprising. This was just Kuroo being Kuroo.
And yet, damn him. Damn that insufferable, arrogant smirk and the way your pulse skipped just a little too fast every time he directed that sharp, knowing gaze at you.
This was a game neither of you were willing to lose.
And unfortunately for you, Kuroo Tetsurou played to win. __
You stormedâas professionally as possibleâback into your office, dropping the file onto your desk with a little too much force. The sharp slap of paper against wood echoed in the otherwise quiet space, but it wasnât nearly enough to drown out the infuriating replay of your conversation with Kuroo looping in your head.
Your fingers hovered over your keyboard, but the words on your screen blurred together. Instead of drafting reports or reviewing contracts, your mind was stuck on the smugness in his voice, the arrogance in his smirk, the way he looked at you like he was perpetually three steps ahead. Every damn interaction with him was exhaustingâa battle of wills where he seemed to enjoy watching you get riled up a little too much.
God, he was insufferable.
You inhaled sharply through your nose, willing the irritation out of your body as you sat back in your chair. Focus. You had other things to worry about. Work that didnât involve him.
You had barely started scrolling through your inbox when the door to your office slammed open.
"Whatâs this I hear about you rejecting the campaign?"
Your bossâs voice boomed across the room before you even had a chance to react. You immediately straightened, hands folding neatly in front of you, as you turned to meet his hard gaze.
"Kuroo-sanâs proposal does not pass policy guidelines, sir," you said smoothly, keeping your tone measured and professional.
Your boss scowled, pacing in front of your desk like you had just personally cost the company millions. His tie was slightly loosened, and his sleeves were rolled upâa sign that he had been fielding other problems all day, and now, you were one of them.
"So make it pass!" he snapped. "What did we hire you for?"
You barely resisted the urge to grit your teeth. "Sir, with all due respect, the proposal in its current state violates multiple advertisement clauses. If we move forward with it as is, we risk legal repercussions."
He waved a dismissive hand, clearly uninterested in the specifics. "Thatâs your job to fix. I want it approved by the end of the day."
"You can't possibly be asking me to rewrite the campaign?" you asked, your voice carefully controlled despite the frustration simmering beneath the surface.
Your boss scoffed, rubbing his temples as if this conversation was an unnecessary burden. "Don't even get me started on that bastard," he muttered, clearly referring to Kuroo. "I'm going to yell at him too. You both will be staying as long as it takes to finish this. No excuses."
Before you could argue, he leaned forward, bracing his hands on your desk. "And I donât care if you two canât stand each other. If this campaign doesnât get approved, itâs both your heads on the line. Figure it out." He straightened, smoothing his tie as he exhaled sharply. "I expect progress by the next meeting. No more of this back and forth." Then, without waiting for your response, he turned on his heel and strode out, leaving the door wide open behind him.
You sat there for a moment, fingers clenched around the edge of your desk, trying to process the sheer absurdity of what had just happened.
This wasn't even remotely close to being your fault. If anything, you had been doing your job correctly, stopping Kuroo from pushing through yet another one of his reckless, barely compliant proposals. And now, somehow, you were being punished for it. You had been following protocol, making sure the company didnât find itself in a legal nightmare, and yetâyou were the one getting scolded? Forced to stay late?
Because of him?
Your jaw tightened. Of course, he wouldnât face the consequences alone. No, you had to be dragged into this mess alongside him, forced to sit in a room with that smirking, insufferable bastard and work together until this campaign was approved.
The mere thought made your blood pressure spike.
You could already picture the look on Kurooâs face when he found out. That lazy, knowing grin. The cocky tilt of his head. The way heâd draw out every syllable of your name just to see you twitch. He would probably love thisâgetting to push your buttons for hours, knowing you had no choice but to endure it.
And the worst part? You knew exactly how heâd spin it.
âOh? Stuck working overtime with me? You really just canât get enough, huh?â
You let out a long exhale, trying to push away the irritation clawing at your nerves. The last thing you needed was to let Kuroo live rent-free in your mind. But the thought of having to sit across from him, in a room, alone, for hours, was already grating on you.
This night was going to be hell.
Your nails tapped impatiently against the desk as your mind raced. There was no way you were going to let Kuroo think heâd won just because you were forced into this situation. You would get this campaign approved, on your terms, and you would do it without giving him the satisfaction of seeing you crack.
Because if this ended with him smugly leaning back in his chair, arms crossed, with that knowing smirk on his lips while he said, âTold ya we make a great team,â you were going to commit a corporate crime.
You straightened, rolling up your sleeves, your determination settling like steel in your spine.
If you had to suffer through this, so did he.
And if Kuroo wanted a fight, he was about to get one.
The scent of rich broth and fresh noodles hung thick in the air, filling Osamuâs restaurant with a warmth that, under any other circumstance, he would have appreciated.
But tonight? Tonight, it was the smell of betrayal.
Osamu leaned against the counter, arms crossed, watching with thinly veiled irritation as you happily slurped down another bite of Atsumuâs ramen.
His twin sat across from you, looking way too pleased with himself, arms folded as he watched you enjoy his so-called cooking.
Osamu hated that look.
It was the same damn smirk Atsumu had worn their whole livesâwhenever he managed to piss Osamu off, whenever he got away with something he shouldnât have, whenever he won by sheer bullshit luck.
And now? Now he was wearing it in Osamuâs own shop.
"Damn, âTsumu," you sighed, tilting the bowl to sip the broth. "This is amazing. I didnât know you could cook like this!"
Osamu felt a deep, personal offense settle in his bones.
His entire career revolved around food. He had spent years perfecting his recipes, testing flavors, fine-tuning every last detail. He had trained under some of the best chefs, built this restaurant from the ground up.
And now, here you were, gushing over a bowl of glorified college survival food.
Atsumu leaned back, smug. "Told ya. I got talents."
Osamu let out a slow, controlled breath through his nose.
"You put a packet of dried seasoning into hot water," he said flatly.
You blinked. "Yeah, but the broth is really flavorful! What did you put in it, âTsumu?"
Atsumu smirked, tipping his head like he was about to unveil some grand chef's secret. "Oh, ya know, just instinctâ"
"Itâs instant."
You didnât even catch the shift in energy, completely oblivious to the deadly stare Osamu was leveling at his twin.
Atsumu sucked in a sharp breath through his teeth. âTechnically, yeah," he admitted, "but I added some stuffââ
âOh, yeah?â Osamu lifted a brow, arms still crossed tight. âAnd whatâd ya add, exactly?â
Atsumu suddenly found the ceiling very interesting. âUh. A soft-boiled egg.â
Osamuâs eye twitched.
Silence stretched between them.
Tension thick enough to cut with a knife.
You, utterly unaware, stretched with a satisfied sigh. âIâm gonna run to the bathroom real quick.â
You leaned down to press a quick kiss to Osamuâs cheekânormally enough to calm him downâbut he was too busy staring daggers at his brother to even register it.
The second the door shut behind you, Osamu turned to Atsumu.
âWhatâs your deal?â
Atsumu blinked, mouth half-full of noodles. âHuh?â
Osamuâs jaw tightened. âYa woke up today and decided to piss me off?â
âFor makinâ ramen?â
"She liked it."
Atsumu stared, thenâas if the realization physically smacked him across the faceâhis lips curled into a slow, knowing smirk.
âOh my god,â he whispered, like he was witnessing something life-changing. His eyes gleamed with mischief. "Are yaâjealous?"
Osamu stiffened.
"Shut up."
"No. No way." Atsumu clutched his chest like he had just been blessed with the funniest joke in history. "Yer seriously mad âcause she liked my ramen?â
"Ya donât cook," Osamu shot back, glaring. "Thatâs my thing."
Atsumu laughed. Full, loud, obnoxious cackles that echoed through the kitchen.
âOh, âSamu,â he wheezed, wiping an imaginary tear from the corner of his eye. "I promise, yer the only chef in my heart."
Osamu grabbed a dishtowel and launched it straight at his face.
Atsumu barely dodged in time, still laughing like a damn hyena.
By the time you returned, Atsumu was half-wheezing into his bowl, Osamu was murdering a pile of green onions with his knife, and the air was thick with something way more intense than sibling rivalry.
You raised an eyebrow. "Uh⊠did I miss something?"
Atsumu, struggling to breathe through his grin, pointed a dramatic finger at his twin.
Osamu, without looking up, muttered, "Heâs banned from my kitchen."
Tsukishima Kei had always been a man of quiet focus. He wasnât one for unnecessary emotions on the court, and even in a high-stakes match, his expression rarely changed from that of mild indifference. It drove some of his teammates crazy, especially during moments like thisâtied score, final set, the pressure mounting like a heavy storm cloud over the court.
The crowd roared around them, the energy in the gym palpable, but Kei remained as impassive as ever as he stepped up to serve. The ball rested in his hand, his fingers flexing over the synthetic leather, calculating the perfect trajectory. He took a breath, tuned out the noiseâ
And then he heard you.
âLETâS GO, KEI! YOU GOT THIS, BABY!â
Your voice cut through the chaos like a knife, loud and unwavering, filled with pure, unfiltered enthusiasm. It was the kind of cheer that had heads turningânot just in the stands, but on the court as well. The sideline players of the Sendai Frogs exchanged looks, one of them letting out an amused snort.
On the bench, the sideline players of the Sendai Frogs nudged each other, exchanging grins.
"Man, they're such opposites," one of them chuckled.
"Seriously," another added, shaking his head. "I bet he just tunes it out entirely."
Kei, however, did not react. Not outwardly, at least. He merely exhaled, tossing the ball into the air, bringing his arm back, and striking it with precision. The ball sailed over the net, untouched, an ace. A perfect point.
You erupted from your seat. âWOOHOO! THATâS MY HUSBAND!â
Your cheers drowned out the announcerâs call, your hands clapping wildly as you beamed at the court. The energy was infectious, even drawing a smirk from one of Keiâs teammates.
âHe really doesnât deserve someone as fun as her,â a player on the bench teased.
Kei, who hadn't actually heard the comment, still felt like he was being talked about. His gaze shifted toward the teammate in question, sharp and unreadable. The player stiffened slightly under the weight of the look, laughing nervously. "Uhânever mind."
Though his expression remained neutral as they reset for the next point, you didnât miss the slight twitch at the corner of his lipsâa flicker of something, almost imperceptible, but you knew better. You knew he heard you. And you knew, despite his attitude, he didnât mind.
The match pressed on, the tension thick in the air. Every point was fought for, the score inching closer and closer to victory. You kept cheering, never once faltering, your voice the constant, unwavering backdrop to Keiâs unshakable calm. Each time he stepped up to block or assist, you felt your heart race, willing him to succeed. Even when he wasnât actively playing, your eyes remained glued to him, catching the subtle movementsâhis sharp gaze, the way his fingers curled into his palms, the way he subtly adjusted his position to anticipate the next play.
One of the opposing players served a near-perfect ball, fast and aggressive, but Kei anticipated it. His block was perfectly timed, and the ball slammed to the floor on the other side of the net. The referee signaled the point, and the crowd went wild.
âYES! THATâS MY MAN!â you shrieked, standing up so fast that the people next to you startled.
âHey, sit down, youâre blocking the view!â someone called playfully, but you barely heard them. Your entire world was on the court, watching Kei as he straightened, not even celebrating the way his teammates were.
And then, the final point.
A perfectly executed play sealed the win, and before you could process it, the Sendai Frogs were celebrating. The crowd erupted in cheers, but none were as loud as yours.
âYES! WOOOO!â
The players exchanged congratulations, the team huddling together in exhausted relief. Kei, as always, stayed a step behind the others, rolling his shoulders as he walked toward the sidelines. But his eyes flickered to the stands, just once, just enough for you to catch it before he looked away.
Your grin stretched even wider. He didnât need to say it. That glance alone told you everything.
Tsukishima Kei was not a man of grand gestures or loud emotions. But you were, and that was okay.
Because when the dust settled, when the match was won, and the crowd began to disperse, Kei walked straight toward you. And in that split second before he passed by, his fingers brushed against yoursâa silent acknowledgment, a fleeting moment of appreciation just for you.
You didnât need anything more than that.
But you still made sure to yell one last time as he walked past, just to see his ears go a little red.
âI LOVE YOU, KEI!â
His teammates howled with laughter as he groaned, dragging a hand over his face.
ââŠI regret everything.â
And yet, as he walked toward the locker rooms, his fingers lingered just slightly against the edge of yours, as if to say he didn't regret it at all.
Of all the ways Tendou loved to fuck you, taking you from behind while standing was his absolute favorite.
It was the way you had to hold onto anything in front of you for dear life, your legs barely working as he pounded into you from behind. The way your ass bounced against his hips, how your body arched every time he drove deeper, filling you up so perfectly that your words turned to breathless gasps.
But the best part? The sounds you made.
Your moans were already deliciously wrecked, but what really did it for him was when you started whimpering his name.
âSatoriââ
Tendou groaned, fingers digging into your hips, yanking you back onto his cock.
âSatoriâoh my Godââ
His grip tightened, and suddenly, his palm cracked against your ass, a sharp smack that had you gasping.
âOh? Whatâs wrong, baby?â he taunted, grinning wickedly even as his thrusts didnât slow. âThought you were gettinâ all cocky earlier? What happened?â
You tried to respond, but it was impossibleâhe was fucking you too good, too deep, too fast, and all that came out was a choked moan.
Tendou loved it.
âNot so mouthy now, huh?â he teased, snapping his hips forward, grinding in deep, feeling you flutter around him. âBet you thought you were gonna be in charge. So cute.â
You let out a frustrated little whine, your fingers clenching against the table in front of you, nails dragging against the surface as another sharp thrust stole your breath.
Stillâyou werenât going down without a fight.
With whatever strength you had left, you tilted your head back just enough to meet his gaze over your shoulder, your eyes glassy but defiant as you bit out:
âThenâshut up and fuck me, Satori.â
Tendou froze for half a secondâhis cock twitching at your toneâbefore letting out a low, dark chuckle.
âOhhh, youâre gonna regret that, sweetheart.â
His fingers slid up your spine, fisting in your hair, yanking your head back, forcing you to arch, forcing you to take him even deeper.
Then, he wrecked you.
His thrusts turned brutal, relentless, hitting that spot inside you over and over until your mouth fell open in a silent scream, pleasure crashing over you in waves.
Your legs buckled, but he held you up, laughing against your ear as you trembled, shaking apart in his grip.
âSatoriââ you gasped again, your voice high, needy, broken.
âOh yeah, baby,â he panted, grinning against your neck. âThatâs what I wanna hear.â
And just to seal the deal, his hand snaked down between your legs, fingers rubbing your clit in messy, frantic circlesâ
And you shattered.
Your whole body locked up, your walls clenching so hard around him that Tendou groaned deep, his thrusts stuttering as he followed you over the edge, spilling inside you with a deep, shuddering moan.
For a long moment, all that was left was panting, shaking, the heat of his body pressed against yours.
Then, Tendou grinned against your skin, pressing lazy, teasing kisses along your shoulder.
âStill got somethinâ smart to say, babe?â
You triedâtried so hardâto come up with a response. But your brain was pure static, and all you could do was let out a soft, exhausted whimper:
â⊠SatoriâŠâ
Tendou laughed.
âYeah, thatâs what I thought.â
Top left ifykyk đ€€
can we talk about them đ§ââïžđ§ââïžđ§ââïžđ§ââïž
You barely remembered the trip home. Your body moved on autopilot, the mortification from earlier fogging your brain to the point that you couldn't focus on anything else. The second you made it through your bedroom door, you slammed it shut behind you and slid down against it, your legs giving out as you collapsed onto the floor.
"What the fuck did I just do?"
The words came out in a strangled whisper, as if saying them too loudly would make the situation even more real. You pressed your hands to your face, groaning into your palms as every moment replayed itself in your head like a sick joke. The shouting, the insults, the way he kissed you like he was trying to winâas if any of this was a game.
And worse? The way you kissed him back.
You wanted to blame the heat of the moment, the sheer exhaustion that had worn you thin, the suffocating tension that had been building up for years. But that didnât excuse the fact that you had wrapped your legs around him, pulled him in, let yourself get so lost in him that you had completely forgotten where you were.
You smacked your forehead against your knees. "I am such an idiot."
The embarrassment made your skin crawl. You had let Atsumu Miya kiss you. And not just kiss youâpractically devour you in a damn supply closet. You had been seconds away fromâ
No. No, you werenât even going to think about that.
You forced yourself to stand, limbs still shaky as you shuffled toward your dresser, pulling out your sleepwear. Maybe if you went to bed and didnât think about it, this entire thing would disappear from your memory by morning.
Right. Because thatâs how trauma worked.
You peeled off your shirt, letting out a sigh as you tossed it into the laundry pile. Your fingers ran absentmindedly through your hair, eyes barely focusing on your reflection in the vanity mirrorâ
And then you saw it.
Your entire body went rigid.
There, on the side of your neck, just below your jawline, was a hickey.
Not just any hickeyâa big, obnoxiously dark mark staining your skin, bold as fucking day. The kind that wasnât going away anytime soon. The kind that was going to be impossible to cover up without half the school noticing.
Your eye twitched. Your pulse spiked.
That bastard.
Your hands clenched into fists at your sides, a fresh wave of fury searing through your veins.
"Iâm gonna kill him."
___
The moment you stepped into the school building, your body was on edge.
You had taken extra time getting ready, draping a scarf around your neck despite the warm weather, just in case. The last thing you needed was for anyone to see the evidence of last nightâs catastrophe.
But the second you stepped through the gym doors, you could feel him watching you.
Atsumu was already there, leaning lazily against the lockers, arms crossed, his ever-present smirk already in place.
âYer all bundled up today,â he drawled, golden eyes flickering to the scarf wrapped snugly around your neck. âAinât it a little warm for that?â
You didnât respond. You marched straight toward him, grabbing him by the arm before he could react and dragging him toward the back of the building, away from prying eyes.
âOiâwhat the hell?â he complained, but he didnât resist, letting you pull him along with a smug chuckle.
The second you were alone, you spun around, fire in your eyes. âYou have a lot of goddamn nerve.â
Atsumu raised a brow, feigning innocence. âMe? Whatâd I do?â
You ripped off the scarf and pointed at your neck. âCare to explain this?â
His gaze flickered downward, and when he saw the mark, his smirk grew into something far too pleased for your liking. âHuh.â
âHuh?! Thatâs all you have to say?!â
He shrugged, completely unbothered. âWhat? Looks good on ya.â
Your blood boiled.
âWhere did you find the gall and the nerve to mark me like some sort of animal?!â you seethed. âDo you even care?!â
Atsumu sighed dramatically, rubbing the back of his head. âAww, sweetheart, didnât know ya were that ashamed of me.â
Your eye twitched.
âAshamed?! Oh, pleaseââ
âOh, so ya liked it?â
Your breath caught, your brain short-circuiting just long enough for him to chuckle. âI knew ya werenât as immune to me as ya act.â
Your fists clenched, the fury behind your eyes nearly burning holes through him. âI swear to god, Miya, if you donât wipe that smug look off your face, Iâllââ
âWhat?â he interrupted, voice low and taunting. He took a step closer, invading your space. âYa gonna hit me? Scream at me? Oh, waitâya already did plenty of screaminâ last night.â
Your stomach twisted into a violent knot. âGo to hell.â
Atsumu smirked, tilting his head. âOnly if you join me, sweetheart.â
Red. All you saw was red.
Your hand shot out, shoving him hard in the chest. He barely stumbled, his smirk widening as if heâd expected itâwanted it. His eyes burned, dark and taunting, daring you to push him further.
âI fucking hate you,â you spat, voice shaking with rage. âStay the hell away from me.â
Atsumu let the silence hang, watching you, unreadableâuntil his lips curled, voice dropping to something dangerous, something hungry.
âThatâs not what I was gettinâ last night.â
Your breath hitched, your entire body locking up.
He leaned in just a fraction, enough that you could feel the warmth radiating off of him. His voice was nothing but a rough murmur. âIn fact, from where I was sittinâ⊠ya couldnât get enough of me.â
You snapped. Without thinking, your hand whipped out, aiming to smack that cocky look off his faceâbut he caught your wrist before it could land. His grip was firm, tight, and the moment your skin met his, something flared in the space between you. A live wire, electric and burning.
For a second, neither of you moved. Your chest heaved, his fingers tightening around your wrist, his golden eyes locked onto yours, daring, challenging, waiting for your next move.
And then, just as quickly, he released you, stepping back with that damn smirk still in place. âSee ya at practice, sweetheart.â
He turned and walked off, leaving you standing there, heart pounding, fists clenched so hard your nails bit into your palms.
You hated him. Hated him.
And you hated the fact that your skin still burned where he touched you.
__
The moment you stepped onto the court, the entire atmosphere had shifted. The usual lightheartedness was replaced by something elseâsomething charged, something that even the others could feel. The tension between you and Atsumu was palpable, filling every space between you like static before a storm.
You did everything you could to ignore him, keeping your focus locked on the drills, on making sure everything ran smoothly as usual. But even as you busied yourself with tasks, taking inventory, filling water bottles, making sure the practice schedule was followed, you felt him. His presence, his gaze. And every single time you so much as glanced his way, you caught itâthat smug, infuriating smirk, the one that told you he knew exactly what he was doing.
Osamu was the first to crack. âShe's even more pissed off than usual. Whatâd ya do to her?â
Atsumuâs head snapped toward his brother, jaw tightening. âWhy do ya always assume Iâm in the wrong?â
Osamu raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. âDunno, maybe âcause ya usually are?â
Atsumu scoffed, gripping the volleyball tighter in his hands before tossing it up and setting it with too much force. âFuck off, âSamu.â
Suna, from across the court, watched the exchange with mild interest, his usual lazy expression barely concealing the amusement behind his eyes. He didnât say anythingâhe didnât need to. The shared glance between him and Osamu said enough.
Even Kita had noticed. âFocus,â he called out flatly, directing the attention of the team back to practice. âDonât need anyone actinâ stupid today.â
Your jaw clenched, fingers tightening around the clipboard in your hand. The fact that it was so obvious was frustrating enough. Youâd hoped that whatever happened between you and Atsumu could be contained, that it wouldnât seep into practice, but it was everywhereâin the way his passes came off just a little harder, in the way your own movements felt stiff and mechanical. In the way your stomach twisted whenever you so much as thought about the night before.
The second the whistle blew, signaling the end of practice, you didnât hesitate. You were gone, out the door before anyone could stop you, barely pausing to acknowledge the rest of the team as they wrapped up.
You didnât care. You just needed to get away.
You tried to go about your day. You really did. You sat through your classes, eyes locked on the board, scribbling down notes that you knew wouldnât make any sense later. You went through the motions, completing assignments, answering when spoken to, doing everything you were supposed to do.
And yet, despite all of it, your mind refused to let you be.
It kept circling back to him.
The way he looked at you. The way his hands had felt gripping your waist. The heat of his breath against your skin. The smugness in his voice when he threw your own reactions back in your face, like he knew he was getting under your skin. Like he thrived on it.
You shook your head, frustrated, dragging a hand down your face as you sat in the back of the library, books open in front of you but nothing sinking in. This was ridiculous. He was ridiculous. And the worst part? He knew it.
Because Atsumu Miya was the absolute worst.
And you hated that, deep down, he knew it too.
It was like an itch under your skin, a pressure in your chest that refused to ease. No matter how much you told yourself you could push it away, forget it, move onâit lingered. Every time you blinked, you could still feel the way his hands had gripped you, how his breath had ghosted over your skin, how he had smirked like he had won.
You werenât going to let him take up another second of your time.
Fuck this. And fuck him.
Jaw tight, you yanked your phone out of your pocket, fingers moving faster than your thoughts as you typed out a message to Kita.
Not feeling well. Canât make it to afternoon practice.
Your thumb hovered over the send button for a split second before pressing down. As soon as the message was out, a weight lifted from your chest. There was no way in hell you were going to spend another hour in that gym, breathing the same air as him, pretending like everything was normal when it wasnât.
You tossed your phone onto the table, running both hands down your face, exhaling slowly. You needed to clear your head. You needed space. One dayâjust one dayâwhere Atsumu Miya wasnât in your fucking mind.
A small vibration broke the silence, and you glanced at your phone again.
Kita: Okay. Feel better.
You stared at the message for a second before locking your phone and shoving it into your pocket.
You werenât sick. But he sure as hell was making you feel like you were.
__
After spending the rest of the day trying to distract yourselfâhanging out with friends, grabbing food, doing anything to keep your thoughts away from himâyou finally made it home. The moment you stepped inside, the silence was welcoming, wrapping around you like a warm blanket.
Your parents were gone for the weekend. No one was home. Just you, an empty house, and, finally, some peace.
You exhaled slowly, rolling your shoulders as you set your bag down by the door. The tension in your chest had begun to fade, little by little, replaced by the relief of knowing you didnât have to see him, didnât have to deal with his bullshit. You could relax, unwind, maybe evenâ
A knock at the door shattered the peace into a million fucking pieces.
Your head snapped toward the door, heart lurching into your throat. No way. It couldnât beâ
A second knock.
You stood frozen for half a second before irritation overtook any disbelief. Of course, it was him. Of course.
You stomped forward, already feeling the irritation claw its way back up your spine. The second you yanked open the door, your glare couldâve burned holes through his head.
Atsumu Miya, standing on your doorstep, looking entirely too pleased with himself.
Your instincts kicked in immediately. Without thinking, without hesitating, you moved to slam the door shut.
But his foot jammed in before the door could close, wedging itself into the gap, keeping it wide open. He stepped forward, forcing his way into your space with that same smug arrogance he always carried. You glared at him, voice low, venomous.
âI didnât invite you in.â
Atsumu turned, stuffing his hands into his pockets, completely unfazed by your hostility. âWe need to talk.â
âNo, we really donât.â You crossed your arms tightly, shifting your weight as if physically bracing yourself for whatever ridiculous excuse he was about to pull from his ass.
He leaned in slightly, eyes narrowing in determination. âI think we do. This whole thing between us? Itâs screwinâ with the team.â
You scoffed, shaking your head. âAnd whose fault is that?â
He shrugged, utterly unbothered. âDoesnât matter. What matters is fixinâ it. And I got a solution.â
You narrowed your eyes, already regretting even entertaining this conversation. âI swear to god, if this is some dumbass ideaââ
âLetâs just fuck and get it outta our systems.â
Silence. Heavy. Thick. Suffocating.
Your brain stalled for a moment, your mouth parting as if waiting for an explanation that would somehow make his words less ridiculous.
ââŠExcuse me?â
Atsumu leaned against the doorframe, completely relaxed, completely serious. âYou heard me.â
You blinked. Then a sharp, disbelieving laugh tore from your throat. âYou are actually out of your goddamn mind.â
âThink about it,â he continued, as if he were suggesting something completely logical, completely normal. âAll this pent-up tension? It ainât gonna go away on its own. We fight like hell every time weâre near each other, and itâs makinâ shit hard for the team.â
You scoffed, arms crossing even tighter. âYeah, and whose fault is that?â
His smirk sharpened. âYou sure itâs just mine?â
Your fingers twitched, itching to strangle him. âYes, Miya. It is. And I donât know what kind of delusional fantasy youâve been living in, but I wouldnât touch you if my life depended on it.â
Atsumuâs grin widened. âOh yeah? Thatâs not what it felt like the other night.â
Your blood boiled instantly. âI hate you.â
âGood,â he said, voice dropping slightly, gaze darkening. âMakes it easier.â
You hated that your breath caught. Hated that there was something dangerous in the way he looked at you, something that sent a sharp, electric pulse straight through your stomach, tightening like a vice, making your breath come just a little too short. He was standing too close, the heat radiating from him brushing against your skin, tangible, suffocating. It was infuriatingâhow he took up space, how he filled every damn inch of it like he belonged there, like this moment was inevitable.
Your mind screamed at you to slam the door in his face, to push him away, to tell him to go straight to hell where he belonged. But you knew, deep in the marrow of your bones, that it wouldnât make a difference. Heâd still be there, in your head, smirking, taunting, winning.
Because he was right about one thing.
The tension? The energy? The pull between you? It wasnât going away. It had been festering, simmering beneath every argument, every pointed glare, every sharp-edged word exchanged over the years. It had always been there, a wildfire waiting for a spark.
You sucked in a sharp breath, tryingâdesperatelyâto rein in the rage, the irritation, the heat that was threatening to consume you whole. Every logical part of you screamed to shove him out, to not give in, to refuse him like you always had. But the rest of you? The part that was tired of the fight, of the push and pull, of resisting something that never truly went away? That part just wanted relief. âYouâre serious about this?â
His smirk faded slightly, but the intensity in his eyes remained. âDead serious.â
A battle waged inside you, every single nerve in your body screaming for you to shove him out, to tell him to rot in hell.
And yet, somehow, the words never left your lips.
Instead, you held his gaze for a long moment before exhaling sharply, tilting your chin up in defiance. "Leave your shoes near the door," you said, voice firm, unwavering. Then, without another glance, you turned on your heel and walked toward your bedroom, every step deliberate, controlledâas if daring him to follow.
Behind you, Atsumu's smirk widened. He toed off his shoes without hesitation, stepping inside with the confidence of someone who had already won.
Every rational part of you screamed that this was a terrible idea, that giving him even this was playing into exactly what he wanted. But another part of youâthe part that had felt the full force of his mouth on yours, the part that still burned from the way he had grabbed you,âtold you this was inevitable.
The moment the bedroom door shut, the air thickened, charged with something electric, something volatile. Hands clashed in a war of dominance, tearing at clothing like this was less about passion and more about proving a point. Fabric hit the floor in a frenzied, heated mess, discarded in a battle neither of you planned to lose. His grip was rough, fingers curling into the hem of your shirt before yanking it up and over your head with no patience, no hesitation.
You werenât any gentler. Your hands fisted his hoodie, dragging it up his torso with force, exposing tanned skin and hard muscle, your nails scratching over his ribs just to hear the sharp breath he sucked through his teeth. It was satisfying, watching his composure waver, watching him react to you instead of the other way around. But his eyes burned when they met yours, something dark and dangerous flashing through them as he let the hoodie drop to the floor and stepped closer, pressing you backward, swallowing any satisfaction you might have felt.
His lips found the base of your throat, hot, biting, a stark contrast to the cool air against your flushed skin. He kissed like he foughtâruthless, demanding, relentless. His teeth scraped over your pulse point, lips dragging along the sensitive skin before sinking in just enough to make your breath hitch.
âWhen are your folks gonna be home?â he muttered against your throat, voice rough, half-amused, half-starved.
The question barely registered, your mind already dizzy from the way his hands slid down your sides, gripping at your waist like he was staking a claim. âMonday,â you managed to breathe out, your voice embarrassingly unsteady.
Atsumu grinned against your skin, that cocky smirk pressing into your flesh, making you want to shove him away just as much as you wanted to pull him closer. âGood.â His breath was hot against your ear as he dragged his lips to your jaw, his voice dropping lower. âMeans you can be loud.â
His hands were everywhereâgripping your thighs, pressing against your throat just enough to make you dizzy, gripping your waist hard enough that you were sure you'd feel it tomorrow. His smirk never faltered, even as his rhythm stuttered when you clenched around him, even as you matched his energy, dragging your nails down his back, leaving marks that would remind him exactly who he was dealing with.
Before you could register it, he pushed you back, guiding you toward the bed with a roughness that sent a pulse of heat down your spine. Your knees hit the mattress, and as you fell back, you reached behind you, flicking open the clasp of your bra and letting it slide off your shoulders. Atsumu's gaze darkened, his hands immediately finding your bare skin, his thumbs swiping over your nipples in a slow, testing motion.
A sharp breath escaped you, and before you could bite it back, he grinned. "Sensitive, huh?" His voice was low, teasing, full of wicked amusement as he leaned in, dragging his tongue over the already aching bud before his teeth grazed itâjust enough pressure to make you arch slightly.
The sting made you hiss, your hand shooting up to tangle in his hair, yanking hard. He groaned, the sound reverberating against your skin, but instead of annoyance, his smirk only widened. His eyes flicked up to meet yours, his lips curving against your breast as he let out a breathy chuckle. "That all ya got?"
Heat crept up your neck, a flash of irritation mixing with something elseâsomething dangerous. You could feel the smirk against your skin, smug and insufferable, and without thinking, you decided to wipe it off his face.
Your hand shot down between you, fingers deftly working at his belt, yanking it open with a confidence that made his breath hitch. The sound was satisfying, nearly as much as the way his smirk flickered for half a second when you popped the button on his jeans and dragged the zipper down in one smooth motion.
His cock was hot and heavy in your palm, and the second you wrapped your fingers around him, Atsumu let out a ragged groan, his forehead briefly pressing into your collarbone.
You shouldnât have looked. You should not have looked. But curiosity got the better of you, and the moment your eyes flickered down, something inside you stuttered.
Fuck. He was bigger than you thought.
Atsumu felt you hesitate. You knew he did because when he looked up, there was something knowing in his gaze, something amused and all too smug.
âWhatâs wrong, sweetheart?â he drawled, voice thick, teasing. "Bit off more than ya can chew?"
Your grip tightened instinctively around him, wiping the smirk off his face just as quickly as it had returned. But inside, your thoughts were spiraling.
Then, without missing a beat, you scoffed, tilting your head as your fingers gave an almost lazy stroke along his length. "Please," you murmured, voice dripping with defiance, "donât flatter yourself."
Atsumuâs jaw ticked, the teasing glint in his eyes sharpening into something darker, something more challenging. But before he could throw back one of his usual cocky retorts, you surged forward, capturing his mouth in a kiss that was all teeth, all aggression, all sheer willpower to stay in control. Your hand still worked him over, slow but deliberate, and you could feel the way his breath hitched, the way his muscles tensed under your touch.
For once, he wasnât smirking.
And that was exactly what you wanted.
His breath came heavier now, his body betraying him even as he tried to maintain his usual smug composure. You didnât give him time to recover. Your hand kept working over him, stroking slow and firm, and you could feel the way his cock twitched against your palm, how his muscles tensed beneath your touch. He let out a low groan into your mouth, his hands gripping your waist hard enough to bruise, like he was trying to steady himself.
But you werenât done proving a point.
Atsumuâs grip tightened, and in one swift movement, he pushed you back onto the bed, his weight pressing you into the mattress. The sudden shift sent a shiver through you, but you refused to let him see it. Instead, you propped yourself up on your elbows, watching him through hooded eyes as he reached for the waistband of your pants, fingers toying with the fabric.
He paused, gaze flicking up to meet yours, almost as if he was waiting for you to protest.
You didnât.
His smirk returned, sharp and knowing. "Knew ya wanted this," he muttered, more to himself than you, and then he hooked his fingers into your pants, dragging them down along with your panties in one slow, torturous motion.
The cool air hit your skin, and that was when it fully sank inâhow wet you were, how badly you had needed this despite every ounce of denial you had fed yourself. Atsumuâs eyes darkened as he took in the sight, his tongue swiping across his bottom lip, that self-satisfied smirk pulling at the corners of his mouth again.
âWell, well,â he murmured, voice thick with amusement as his fingers trailed along the inside of your thigh, not touching where you needed him most, just teasing. âGuess Iâm not the only one enjoyinâ this.â
Heat flared in your cheeks, an involuntary reaction you hated, and Atsumu caught it instantly, his smirk deepening with the kind of satisfaction that made your blood boil. Your breath came out sharper than you intended, but you refused to let him get the upper hand.
Grinding your teeth, you quickly recovered, tilting your head with a defiant glare. "Just shut up and fuck me."
Atsumuâs smirk faltered for a split second, and you caught itâthe flicker in his eyes, the sharp inhale, the way his grip on your thigh tightened ever so slightly. He triedâtriedâto act unfazed, but the way his cock twitched against your leg told you everything you needed to know.
You only smirked, fingers reaching up to drag through his hair, tugging him down until his mouth crashed against yours. If he wanted to act like you werenât affecting him, youâd just have to prove otherwise.
But then he pulled back, breath ragged, eyes dark with something unreadable. Without a word, he reached for his discarded pants, fishing in the pocket before pulling out a condom. He tore it open with his teeth, rolling it on with a practiced ease that had your stomach flipping.
Atsumuâs gaze flicked to yours as he crawled back over you, spreading your legs apart with both hands, his touch firm, demanding. The tension crackled between you, heavy and intoxicating, his gaze drinking you in like he was trying to commit every inch of you to memory.
And then, finally, finally, he pressed into youâslow, deliberate, stretching you inch by inch until you could feel every bit of him. The sensation was overwhelming, a deep, aching stretch that made your breath falter, your fingers tightening around your sheets as your body adjusted. It felt impossibly slow, like time had deliberately decided to crawl just to make you feel every single inch of him sinking into you, filling you more than you had anticipated, more than you had prepared for.
Your walls clenched involuntarily, the pressure making your body thrum with a mix of pleasure and tension. A choked sound escaped you, something between a gasp and a whimper, and you could feel the heat creeping up your neck, pooling behind your eyes as the sheer fullness of it sent a shiver down your spine. Tears pricked at the corners of your vision, unbidden, unexpected, as if your body was trying to process how completely he had taken over your senses.
You almost didnât dare to look at him. You expected his usual cocky smirk, a teasing remark, some smug comment about how he knew youâd struggle to take him. But when you forced yourself to peek up at him, what you saw made your breath hitch for an entirely different reason.
Atsumu was wrecked.
At first, you thought he was in pain. His whole body was trembling, jaw locked so tight you could see the tension ripple through him. You blinked, suddenly unsure, shifting slightly beneath him, instinctively moving to push at his chest, to tell him to stop if it was too muchâ
But the second you moved, Atsumu let out a strangled sound, somewhere between a groan and a curse, his hands clamping down hard on your thighs as he all but growled, "Donât move."
You froze, lips parting in confusion. "Whyâ"
Then, you saw it.
The way his forehead dropped against yours, the way his entire frame shook with the effort of keeping himself together. His breath was ragged, his nails digging into your skin, his control hanging by a thread so thin you could almost see it snapping.
He wasnât in pain.
He was holding back.
Holding back from cumming.
The realization sent another wave of heat through you, something dark and wicked unfurling in your chest. He was barely holding on.
And something about that made the heat in your stomach coil tighter, deeper. Seeing him like thisâwrecked, struggling, trying so damn hard to hold himself togetherâwas intoxicating. You had spent so long thinking of him as smug, as unshakable, as someone who never let anything get to him. But now? Now he was unraveling above you, and it was because of you.
Your breath caught, and you swallowed hard, trying to shove the thought down as far as it would go. Thatâs so ridiculously hot.
No. No, you couldnât let yourself think that, couldnât let yourself dwell on it, couldnât let yourself enjoy it. Not with him. Not like this.
You forced yourself to focus, to ease the tension in your body, to relax just enough so it wasnât as tight, wasnât as overwhelming for either of you. You exhaled slowly, steadying yourself, feeling the way his grip tightened just slightly, like he was waiting, like he was barely managing to hold himself back.
And then, without warning, he thrust into you.
A sharp, unrestrained scream tore from your lips, your entire body jolting at the sudden movement. The sensation of being stretched even further sent a shockwave through your system, a mix of pleasure and sheer overwhelming fullness that made your breath stutter. Your back arched instinctively, hands flying up to cover your mouth, eyes blown wide in disbelief at the abruptness of it.
Your heartbeat slammed against your ribs, your pulse roaring in your ears. The shock took precedence over everything else, and before you could think better of it, you swung your hand out and smacked his shoulderâhard.
âMaybe let me know when you start?!â you half-yelled, voice sharp, breath tumbling out in a shaky exhale as you tried to regain some semblance of composure. Your body was still reeling, trying to adjust to him, and the last thing you needed was to be caught off guard like that.
Atsumu only grinned, completely unbothered by the slap, looking down at you with that insufferable, golden-eyed amusement. His breath was uneven, his jaw tight, but that cocky smirk still curled at his lips like he had all the control in the world.
âWhat? Thought ya liked surprises, sweetheart,â he teased, voice thick, a little wrecked despite his best efforts to hide it.
As he spoke, he started movingâslow at first, but deep, each thrust deliberate and unrelenting. Whatever sharp remark you had locked and loaded in your brain was lost instantly, the words dying in your throat as a broken moan escaped instead. Your fingers dug into his arms, gripping hard enough to leave marks, your body already responding despite every stubborn effort to resist.
His smirk widened, golden eyes gleaming with amusement. "What was that?" he taunted, his pace steady, unhurried, like he was enjoying watching you struggle to hold yourself together.
You triedâtriedâto find your voice, to glare at him, to force something cutting past your lips, but all that came was another breathy moan, your head tilting back against the pillow as pleasure coiled tight in your stomach.
Atsumu chuckled, leaning down until his lips brushed against your ear. "Guess ya donât got much to say now, huh?"
You narrowed your eyes at him, fingers twitching, half a second away from smacking him again. Smug bastard.
But if he thought you were just going to lie there and take it, he had another thing coming.
Your walls clenched deliberately around him in retaliation, squeezing tight just to throw him off his rhythm. The reaction was instantâhis breath hitched, his smirk faltering as his jaw clenched hard enough to make his muscles twitch. You felt the tremor that ran through him, the way his fingers dug just a little deeper into your hips, his control barely holding on by a thread.
A satisfied smirk flickered across your lips as you rolled your hips up to meet his thrusts, matching him, challenging him. If he wanted to play smug, you could play harder.
"Fuckinâ hell," Atsumu groaned, voice strained, his movements stuttering before he caught himself. His golden eyes, usually filled with amusement and arrogance, were darker now, hazed over with something dangerously close to desperation.
He exhaled sharply, trying to recover, trying to push past the way you were throwing him off, but you knew. You could see the effort it was taking him to keep control, to not let it slip, and that only made you push more.
His thrusts picked up in response, deeper, more desperate, like he was trying to wrestle back the upper hand. But even he was struggling now, and when he tried to open his mouth for some cocky remark, all that came out was a low, broken moan.
The tension snapped like a live wire between you, the push and pull combusting into something raw, something reckless. His movements grew sharper, more relentless, his grip on your hips tightening as if trying to ground himself, as if trying to drag both of you under with him. The heat pooling in your stomach grew unbearable, white-hot pleasure licking up your spine, making every nerve in your body hum.
Your head tilted back, lips parting as the sensation overwhelmed you. And then, without thinking, without hesitation, the words tumbled from your lips, breathless and pleading.
"Tsumu... harder."
Something inside him snapped.
A sharp curse tore from his throat, his control completely disintegrating as he buried himself deeper, his rhythm shifting from teasing to ruinous. His pace turned brutal, driving into you with a force that sent you arching into the sheets, your fingers clawing at his back, nails dragging down his skin as you lost yourself to the sheer intensity of it.
Every thrust sent you spiraling higher, the coil in your stomach twisting impossibly tight, your entire body trembling from the mounting pleasure. It was too much, too good, each snap of his hips pushing you closer to the edge untilâ
You shattered.
A choked cry ripped from your throat, pleasure slamming through you in waves, body tensing, back arching, your walls clamping down around him like a vice. The sensation ripped a strangled groan from Atsumu, his movements growing erratic as he chased his own release, barely holding himself together before he followed, spilling into the condom with a deep, shuddering moan.
For a long moment, there was nothing but ragged breathing, heavy silence, the lingering heat of everything that had just happened wrapping around you both like a smothering fog. His forehead dropped to your shoulder, his chest heaving against yours, the weight of him grounding you in the aftermath of the storm.
Then, after what felt like an eternity, you exhaled shakily and muttered, "Well... what now?"
Of all the ways Bokuto loved to fuck you, having your hips dangling off the edge of the bed while he pounded into you from above was by far his favorite.
There was just something about itâhow it let him watch you, take in the way your body stretched out beneath him, the way your tits bounced with every hard thrust. How your legs, struggling to stay wrapped around his waist, trembled from the sheer force of him. But more than anything?
It was the way you looked up at him.
Eyes wide, dazedâneedy.
âFuck, baby, youâre soââ Bokuto cut himself off with a groan, grip tightening on your thighs as he slammed into you, his cock driving deep, deeper, until you were arching, gasping, fingers clawing at the sheets.
The angle was almost too much. He could tell by the way you squeezed him, the way you trembled every time he bottomed out, hitting that spot inside you that made your whole body jolt.
âYou feel it?â he panted, his abs flexing with every thrust. âYeah, you do. Fuckâyouâre so tight.â
You could barely respond, words lost in broken moans as he set the pace brutal. Skin meeting skin, the slick sounds of your bodies tangling togetherâhis name spilling from your lips like a prayer.
His hands left your thighs, one gripping your hip to hold you still, the other sliding down, fingertips ghosting over your stomach before pressing firmly right where he could feel himself inside you.
âShit,â he groaned, head tilting back, muscles tensing. âIâm so deep in you, baby. Fuck, you take me so well.â
Your back arched at the pressure, the sensation overwhelming, white-hot pleasure spreading through every nerve.
Then, his hand moved lower.
The second his fingers found your clitârubbing messy, frantic circlesâyou snapped.
Your whole body locked up, pleasure crashing into you so hard you let out a cry, a high, desperate sound as your walls clenched tight around him. The feeling had Bokuto gritting his teeth, his thrusts turning erratic, chasing his own release as you milked him for everything he had.
One, two, three more thrustsâ
Then he was spilling inside you, groaning your name like it was the only thing he knew, hips stuttering as he buried himself as deep as he could go.
For a long moment, the only sound was heavy breathing, the heat of your bodies pressed together, sweat slick and satisfied.
Then, Bokuto let out a breathless, giddy laugh, leaning down to press a sloppy, open-mouthed kiss against your parted lips.
âHoly shit,â he murmured, voice still wrecked. âWeâre so doing that again.â
Of all the ways Kuroo liked to fuck you, reverse cowgirl had to be his favorite.
Not just because of the way your body lookedâthough, fuck, he could watch you like this forever. The curve of your spine, the dip of your waist, the way your ass bounced each time you dropped down onto his cock. It was hypnotic, the way you moved, rolling your hips slow and deliberate at first, teasing yourself as much as him.
No, what really did it for him was the control. Or, more accurately, the moment you lost it.
"You always start off so cocky," Kuroo mused, voice dark with amusement. His fingers pressed into the flesh of your thighs, stroking, teasing. "Think youâre in charge just âcause youâre on top, huh?"
You shot him a look over your shoulder, lips parted, eyes hazy with pleasure. A challenge.
His smirk sharpened.
"Alright, baby, letâs see how long that lasts."
Before you could brace yourself, Kurooâs hands slid up, gripping your waist, and slammed you down onto his cock. The sudden force had you gasping, your balance breaking as pleasure shot through you like lightning. His grip tightened, holding you still, making you take him deep, making you feel him.
"You good?" he asked, voice low, teasing.
You nodded, already breathless. Already wrecked.
Kuroo chuckled, slow and satisfied. And then he started thrusting up into you.
Hard.
Your hands scrambled for support, nails digging into his knees, a choked cry falling from your lips as he fucked up into you with purpose. There was no rhythm to it, just rough, fast, needy. The sound of skin meeting skin filled the air, your moans turning high-pitched and desperate.
"Yeah, thatâs it," he groaned, eyes locked onto the way you shuddered. "Not so cocky now, huh? Feels too fucking good, doesnât it?"
You tried to say somethingâtried to hold onto whatever control you thought you hadâbut all that came out was a whimper, a broken moan of his name.
Kuroo grinned, loving every second of it. Loving the way you completely fell apart for him.
And when he reached between your legs, fingers finding your clit, rubbing quick, tight circlesâ
You shattered.
Your whole body tensed, a cry ripping from your throat as you clenched down around him, dragging him right over the edge with you. He groaned, deep and guttural, burying himself inside you, grinding up as he came.
For a moment, all that was left was heavy breathing, the rise and fall of your bodies pressed together, the warmth between you both.
Then, Kuroo let out a breathless chuckle, trailing lazy fingers up your spine before giving your ass a playful slap.
"See? Told you Iâd win."
"Shut up."
You had worked your ass off for this promotion.
Late nights, impossible deadlines, last-minute rewritesâyouâd done it all. You had sacrificed weekends, spent too many nights hunched over your desk, and powered through mind-numbing meetings, all in the hopes that your work would finally be recognized. And now, with the senior editor position finally up for grabs, it was down to you and Akaashi Keiji.
Akaashiâthe picture-perfect editor. Calm, meticulous, frustratingly good at everything. The kind of guy who never looked frazzled, never rushed, never flinched under pressure. It was like stress simply did not affect him.
And somehow, despite working just as hard as you, he always seemed one step ahead.
You wanted to win this. Not just for the raise or the title, but to finally beat him at something. To prove that you were just as goodâbetter, even.
So when your boss called you both into the office, hands folded with a pleased smirk, you thought, Maybe, just maybe, Iâve got this.
Then the words left their mouth.
âAkaashi landed an exclusive with the MSBY Jackals.â
Your stomach dropped.
âWhat?â
Your boss nodded. âFull-length feature. First-hand accounts. Exclusive team coverage. Bokuto introduced him to the players himselfâan incredible opportunity. The kind of coverage that puts our magazine on the map.â
You snapped your head toward Akaashi, who sat calmly beside you, hands folded neatly, expression unreadable.
That smug bastard.
This was his play? Getting his old volleyball captain to pull strings for him?
Your blood boiled.
âOh, come on,â you said, barely keeping the irritation out of your voice. âThatâs not exactly fair.â
Akaashi finally turned to you, blinking in that cool, composed way that made you want to shake him. âHow so?â
You scoffed. âYou used connections to land the interview. It wasnât based on merit.â
Akaashi tilted his head, looking entirely unbothered. âI leveraged resources available to me. Thatâs part of the job, isnât it?â
Your jaw clenched.
The worst part? He wasnât wrong.
Your boss leaned back in their chair, watching the exchange with thinly veiled amusement before raising a hand to cut off the argument. âEnough. If you both want this promotion, youâre both going to prove you deserve it.â
You blinked. âWhat?â
Akaashi didnât react, but you saw the faintest flicker of curiosity in his sharp blue eyes.
âYouâre both going to work on the feature together,â the boss continued, tapping a finger against their desk. âI want the best piece possible. If you canât put aside your rivalry long enough to get this done, neither of you will get the promotion. Understood?â
Your fingers tightened around your notepad. This was not what you wanted. The whole point was to beat him, not work with him.
But you couldnât back down now. Not when the stakes were this high.
ââŠUnderstood,â you muttered through gritted teeth.
Akaashi nodded smoothly. âUnderstood.â
âGood.â Your boss glanced at the clock. âGet started. I expect a solid first draft by the end of the week. And with the deadline, I imagine youâll be staying late to work on it together.â
You bit back a sigh, already feeling the impending headache.
The moment the meeting ended, you stormed past Akaashi, but before you could make it out the door, his voice followed, low and amused.
âTry not to let your frustration get in the way of our work,â he said smoothly, adjusting his glasses. âItâd be a shame if I had to carry you through this project.â
You turned on your heel, eyes narrowed. âOh, donât worry, Akaashi. If anyoneâs carrying this project, itâll be me.â
His lips twitched, just slightly. âI look forward to seeing that.â
You hated how much fun he was having.
But most of all?
You hated that he always found a way to stay one step ahead.
The office was silent, save for the rhythmic tapping of keyboards and the occasional irritated sigh escaping your lips.
You had been here for hours, stuck in the same damn room with Akaashi, going back and forth on revisions, disagreeing on everything.
âThat transition is too abrupt,â Akaashi said, his tone calm as he skimmed over your section. âIt needs more context.â
âItâs concise,â you shot back, stretching in your chair. âWe donât need extra fluff.â
He exhaled softly, as if reigning in patience. âItâs not fluff. Itâs clarity.â
You groaned, leaning back. âYouâre impossible.â
Akaashi didnât look up from his screen. âAnd yet, youâre still here.â
You wanted to throw something at him.
After another hour of back-and-forth edits, your eyes started to sting from staring at the screen for too long. You rubbed at them, sighing deeply as you slumped in your chair.
âThis is ridiculous,â you muttered. âWeâre never going to finish at this rate.â
Akaashi glanced at the clock. âThen we should stop arguing and be efficient.â
You shot him a glare. âOh, so now youâre suddenly a team player?â
His lips quirked. âI always was. You just refuse to acknowledge it.â
You groaned again, running a hand through your hair. This was going to be a long night.
Akaashi sighed, leaning back in his chair as well, adjusting his glasses. âWeâre making progress. Whether you want to admit it or not.â
You didnât want to admit it, but he was right. The article was shaping up, the writing crisp, the interviews well-structured. And despite your deep frustration, working with Akaashi wasnât as horrible as you wanted it to be.
Still, you werenât going to let him think he had the upper hand.
âWeâll see,â you muttered, turning back to your screen.
Akaashi hummed, watching you for a moment before returning to his own work.
The night stretched on, both of you determined to outdo the other, neither of you willing to be the first to give in.
And just like that, the rivalry continued.
Until Akaashi broke the silence.
"I have extra tickets to the MSBY game this weekend. You should come."
Your fingers froze over your keyboard. Slowly, you turned your head to look at him, brows furrowed in confusion. "What?"
Akaashi didnât even glance up, still focused on his screen as if he hadnât just said something completely out of character. "The game. It would be beneficial to see the team in action if weâre writing about them."
You narrowed your eyes. "You could just send me the game footage."
His fingers tapped lightly against his desk before he finally looked at you, gaze unreadable. "Thatâs not the same."
You leaned back in your chair, arms crossed. "Why are you being nice to me?"
"Iâm not. Iâm being practical."
You scoffed. "Uh-huh. Sure."
Akaashi tilted his head slightly, amusement flickering in his eyes. "You donât have to come. I just thought youâd appreciate an exclusive firsthand look. But if youâd rather rely on secondhand reports, be my guest."
Your jaw tightened. You hated how effortlessly he manipulated situations in his favor.
"Fine. Iâll go."
Akaashi nodded, returning to his work as if nothing had happened. "Good. Iâll send you the details."
You stared at him for a second longer before shaking your head, muttering under your breath.
This was getting too weird.
It had been years of this.
Years of Atsumu Miya being an unrelenting, aggravating presence in your life.
From the moment you met, he had been insufferable. Smug, fiercely competitive, and persistently irksome, he thrived on pushing every button you had. Every interaction with him was a battleâwhether it was a disagreement over training schedules, a critique of his technique, or a casual observation about his erratic setting. He never let anything slide, twisting every word into an argument, every comment into an opportunity to outmaneuver you.
The worst part? You never backed down.
If he provoked, you retaliated. If he smirked, you sneered. He could infuriate you faster than anyone else, and he knew itâand he reveled in it.
And now, in your third year as the Inarizaki team manager, you had mastered the art of tolerating Atsumu Miyaâ
Until tonight.
Tonight, heâd finally gone too far.
The entire team had long since caught on to your dynamic.
Atsumu didnât merely annoy youâhe made a sport out of it.
If you walked into practice? He was already waiting, arms crossed, a cocky grin stretching across his face as he prepared some quip guaranteed to get under your skin.
âYer late, manager,â heâd say, despite the fact that you never were.
If you so much as tried to correct something? Heâd smirk, feigning surprise. âOh? Maybe I should just hand ya my setter position, huh?â
And the worst part? The others loved it.
Osamu, Futakuchi, and even Kita occasionally leaned back and observed your fights like a live-action drama, amused by how predictably you two clashed.
âYa know, at this point, I think ya like the attention,â Atsumu teased one afternoon, casually tossing a volleyball between his hands. âYer always gettinâ worked up over me.â
You scoffed, arms crossed. âOh, please. The day I enjoy anything about you is the day hell freezes over.â
Futakuchi nudged Osamu. âTensionâs thick today.â
Osamu smirked. âGive it five minutes. Theyâll be yellinâ.â
And five minutes later, Atsumu had said exactly the right thing to set you off, and the shouting commenced.
Practice had gone as usual, with only a few sharp remarks exchanged between you and Atsumu before it was over. You were exhausted, your muscles aching from running errands for the team all day, your patience wearing thin. All you wanted was to head home, collapse into bed, and forget that Miya Atsumu existed for a few blessed hours.
The team packed up in the club room, their chatter filling the space as they slung their bags over their shoulders. You barely noticed that Atsumu wasnât among them as they filed out, too focused on getting the final tasks done so you could lock up and leave.
But when you walked into the gym, your plans crumbled.
Atsumu was still there, alone, setting balls into the air with effortless precision. His expression was intense, brows drawn together in concentration, jaw tight, a bead of sweat rolling down the side of his face. The only sounds in the gym were the rhythmic thud of the volleyball meeting his hands and the slight squeak of his sneakers against the polished floor as he adjusted his stance.
You sighed, dragging a hand down your face. Of course. Of course he couldnât just leave like a normal person.
His shirt clung to his body, damp with sweat, emphasizing the broad set of his shoulders and the way his forearms flexed every time he made contact with the ball. He moved with precision, power behind every motion, muscles tensing and releasing like a well-oiled machine. As much as you hated to admit it, he was good. Infuriatingly good.
But you didnât care about that right now.
You leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, and sighed. "Seriously, Miya? Go home."
He barely looked at you before responding. "Suck my dick."
You scoffed. "You wish. Now pack up, or Iâm locking you in here."
He ignored you, setting another perfect ball into the air. That was the last straw. Marching onto the court, you grabbed the nearest volleyball and chucked it at him. He caught it effortlessly, smirking.
"You gonna help, or just be a pain in my ass?" he taunted.
You turned on your heel and stormed toward the supply closet, yanking the door open with more force than necessary. The overhead light buzzed faintly as you stepped inside, the scent of disinfectant and old volleyballs filling your nose. Without hesitation, you grabbed a laundry basket full of towels and shoved it into Atsumuâs chest the moment you returned.
âYouâre gonna help clean up tonight,â you said sharply, your voice edged with exhaustion and frustration.
Atsumu scoffed, letting the weight settle against his chest. âExcuse me?â
âYou heard me. You stayed late to practice, and I have the keys to the gym. That means youâre packing up before I lock up for the night.â
Atsumu smirked, that lazy, infuriating smirk that made your blood boil. "But you're so much better at those kinds of things, ya know? We all have our strengths."
âOh? And what's yours?â
He shrugged. âI score points.â
You wanted to strangle him. âI mean off the court, Miya. You brainless egomaniac.â
That smirk widened. "Damn, sweetheart, say it like ya mean it."
Your entire body tensed. If there was one thingâone thingâthat set your blood boiling faster than anything, it was that nickname. The way he said it, like it was his own personal joke, a word meant to patronize, to needle at you in a way that no one else dared. It was never affectionate, never playfulânot in the way others might say it. No, when Atsumu called you sweetheart, it was dripping with arrogance, a smirk wrapped around syllables meant to get under your skin.
And god, did it work.
Your hands clenched into fists at your sides, jaw tightening so hard it ached. "Don't. Call. Me. That."
His smirk only grew, as if he had been waiting for that exact reaction. "What? Don't like it? Thought ya might warm up to it by now."
"I'd rather set myself on fire."
Atsumu chuckled, slow and smug, like he'd already won this round. "Now that is dramatic."
You threw a towel at his face, and he caught it effortlessly, his smirk widening. "Temper, temper," he taunted, shaking his head like you were the one being unreasonable. "Y'know, if ya wanted me to get all sweaty cleanin' up, ya coulda just asked nicely." You only roll your eyes in disgust.
âTake those to the supply closet. And donât start with your usual bullshit, just do what I say for once.â
Atsumu tilted his head, his eyes glinting with something sharp. âBossy.â
You inhaled sharply, jaw clenching. The way he looked at youâlike he thrived on how easily he could rile you upâmade your skin prickle. âMiya, I swear toââ
âFine, fine,â he drawled, rolling his eyes as he slung the towels over his shoulder. His smirk deepened as he eyed you, a flicker of amusement dancing behind those infuriatingly sharp eyes. "Must be exhausting beinâ so uptight all the time. Ya ever tried just... relaxin'? Oh, wait, guess that'd require ya to actually remove that stick from yer ass."
Your blood boiled instantly, a sharp sting of irritation spreading through your chest. Exhaustion and frustration swirled together into something combustible, something that snapped your already frayed patience. Your hands clenched into fists at your sides as you fought the urge to throw something harder than a towel at his smug, insufferable face. Without thinking, you stomped past him, heading into the supply closet, letting out a frustrated breath as you grabbed another piece of equipment to throw at him if necessary.
"Maybe if your setting was as reliable as your big mouth, I wouldnât have to waste my breath on you,â you spat, voice cold and cutting.
Atsumu went rigid. His smirk flattened into something unreadable, but his eyesâthose sharp, burning eyesâflashed with something dark, something livid.
In an instant, he was storming after you. Before you could react, he followed you into the supply closet, his movements sharp and full of barely restrained anger. The door slammed behind him, the echo bouncing off the walls.
"The fuck did you just say to me?" His voice was low, lethal, his usual teasing edge completely gone.
You whirled around, arms crossing over your chest. "You heard me, Miya. Maybe if you focused on actually being consistent instead of running your mouth, you wouldn't have to work overtime trying to convince people you're the best."
His nostrils flared, jaw clenched so tight you could practically hear his teeth grinding. "You think I got this far by bein' inconsistent? By bein' a fuckin' joke?"
"I think you got this far because you talk so much shit, people actually start to believe it," you bit back. "But I'm not like the rest of your fangirls, Miya. Your act doesnât work on me."
Atsumu let out a low, humorless laugh, stepping closer. Too close. "Ya really think you know me, huh?" His voice was dangerous now, quiet and sharp like a blade pressed just beneath your skin. "Yer full of shit."
"And you're full of yourself."
The air was thick, charged with something volatile, something unstable. His hands were curled into fists, his breath coming in sharp exhales. You could feel the heat radiating off him, his fury rolling off in waves.
You scoffed in disgust, shaking your head as a bitter smirk pulled at your lips. "You're pathetic."
Atsumuâs nostrils flared, his jaw tightening dangerously, but you were already turning away, reaching for the door handle to get as far away from him as possible.
Then your stomach dropped.
The knob refused to turn.
Atsumu frowned. "The hell are ya doinâ?"
You twisted the knob again, harder. Still nothing.
Your throat went dry. "The door is locked."
Atsumu snorted, rolling his eyes. "Yeah, sure it is." He reached out, confidently twisting the handleâ
Nothing.
Atsumu frowned, twisting harder. Still nothing.
Silence.
Then, without missing a beatâ
âYeah, like I didnât try that,â you deadpanned.
Atsumuâs scowl deepened, his frustration crackling in the air between you. "Youâve gotta be fuckin' kidding me. This is all your fault."
You exhaled sharply, crossing your arms. "Oh, right, because I totally planned to lock myself in a closet with you of all people."
"Yer mouth sure makes it sound like ya did." His voice was low, edged with something sharp. "Maybe ya just wanted me all to yourself."
You let out a bitter laugh, shaking your head. "Please. If I wanted something all to myself, it sure as hell wouldnât be you."
Atsumu took a step closer, his presence closing in on you like a storm. "Keep talkinâ, princess. Letâs see if ya can keep that smart mouth runninâ when weâre stuck in here all night."
"Oh, fuck you, Miya," you snapped, stepping forward to meet his glare head-on. "You are without a doubt the most infuriating, self-obsessed asshole I have ever met."
His lips curled into a sneer. "And youâre the most uptight, high-strung pain in the ass Iâve ever met."
"Oh yeah? Well, at least I donât have to spend every waking second convincing everyone Iâm the best. News flashâif you actually were, you wouldnât have to try so hard."
His eyes darkened, his entire body stiffening at your words. "You wanna talk about trying too hard? How âbout ya take a fuckinâ look in the mirror? Always actinâ like ya hate me, but yer always up in my business. If I didnât know any better, Iâd think ya like this."
You scoffed, tilting your head in disbelief. "God, youâre delusional."
"And youâre a fuckinâ hypocrite." He was even closer now, his breath hot, his voice tight with rage. "You always act like ya canât stand me, but here ya are, pushinâ up against me like ya wanna make this somethinâ else."
The worst part?
He wasnât entirely wrong.
Your chests were nearly brushing, your ragged breaths intermingling. Your skin was burning, your hands clenched at your sides, every inch of you wound too tight. The anger, the frustration, the way he always got under your skinâit was all-consuming.
And then, suddenly, neither of you were talking anymore.
Atsumuâs mouth was on yours before you could process it, his lips crashing against yours in a kiss that was just as furious as your fights. You yanked him down by the collar, fingers tangling into the damp fabric of his shirt, pulling him in hard enough to hurt. He groaned into your mouth, his hands gripping your waist, pressing you back against the closet shelves as if he needed to feel every inch of you against him.
It wasnât soft. It wasnât sweet. It was years of pent-up aggression and frustration, a battle neither of you wanted to win. Teeth clashed, hands grabbed, nails dug into skin. The heat between you was unbearable, suffocating, and neither of you had the willpower to pull away.
Atsumu nipped at your bottom lip, his breath hot against your mouth as he muttered, "Knew ya wanted me."
Shut up, Miya." You bit back.
And then you kissed him again, drowning out whatever cocky response he had left.
Atsumu wasnât satisfied with just kissing you. His frustration, his irritation, his hunger bled into every movement as he pushed forward, backing you up until your spine hit the cold surface of the supply closet door. The impact barely registered, not when his hands were gripping at your waist, fingers digging into your sides like he was trying to mark you, claim some kind of dominance even here.
You gasped against his mouth, the moment of vulnerability only spurring him on. His lips left yours for half a secondâjust long enough for him to smirk. âTold ya,â he murmured, voice husky, breath hot against your skin. âYou just needed me to shut ya up properly.â
You barely had time to react before he was kissing you again, harder, more desperate. Your hands found their way to his hair, gripping the strands at the nape of his neck and pullingâa move that ripped a deep, guttural groan from his throat. The sound shot straight down your spine, heat pooling in your stomach, making your breath hitch.
His hands slid down, gripping the backs of your thighs, and without a second of hesitation, you wrapped your legs around his waist. He held you effortlessly, as if supporting your weight meant nothing to him. His lips trailed from your mouth to your jaw, nipping at the sensitive skin beneath your ear, making you shudder. He lingered there, his teeth scraping before his mouth latched onto your skin with deliberate pressure. You barely registered the sensation, too caught up in the heat of the moment, too focused on the way his body pressed against yours. But his smirk against your neck said otherwiseâlike he knew exactly what he was doing, leaving his mark before trailing his lips back to yours.
The warmth of his touch burned through the thin fabric of your clothes, his fingers pressing into your skin in a way that made your head spin. His hands started to wander, moving up beneath your shirt, his touch searingâ
And then the door burst open.
Atsumu lost his balance. With a startled grunt, he stumbled forward, dragging you with him as you both spilled out of the closet and onto the hard gym floor.
âWhat the hell?!â
You barely had time to register the situation before a voice rang out above you.
âThe fuck are you two doinâ in here?â
Your eyes shot up to see the janitor, standing in the doorway, arms crossed, face twisted in the most unimpressed expression you had ever seen.
Silence.
Neither you nor Atsumu moved. You were still on top of him, his hands still on your thighs, your arms still wrapped around his shoulders. The position was beyond compromising.
The janitor raised an eyebrow. âI ainât cleaninâ up after this.â
Atsumu let out a breathless chuckle beneath you, his smirk returning full force. âGuess we got caught, huh, sweetheart?âYou shoved him off you so hard he hit the floor with a thud, scrambling to your feet, face burning with embarrassment. âShut up, Miya!â
Meian and jealousyâŒïžâŒïžâŒïž I just love this man so much
oooh good pick hehe... Your wish is my command :p
~~~
Meian walked through the door, casually tossing his bag onto the couch before holding up a glossy calendar with an amused smirk.
âGuess what I brought home?â
You barely looked up from your spot on the couch, lounging in one of his oversized hoodies. âGroceries?â
He huffed a laugh. âTry again.â
When you finally glanced over, your eyes landed on the calendar in his handsâMSBY Jackals 12-Month Exclusive Athlete Calendar. The cover alone was pure chaos: Bokuto flexing dramatically, Hinata grinning mid-spike, Sakusa looking entirely unamused while still managing to look good, and Meian himself, standing dead center with his usual captainâs stanceâshirtless.
Your brows shot up.
âOh, this is amazing.â
Meian chuckled, flipping it open. âDidnât even know they were makinâ this until they asked me to pose for it.â He turned the pages, showing you a yearâs worth of ridiculously chiseled volleyball players. âThought you might get a kick out of it.â
You grabbed the calendar, flipping through the months with increasing delight.
âOh my god, look at Bokutoâs armsâwait, they oiled him up for this.â You laughed, tapping the glossy image. âI mean, I get it. If I had muscles like that, Iâd want them to shine, too.â
Meian hummed, crossing his arms. âUh-huh.â
You kept going, completely unaware of the way his jaw was starting to tense.
âSakusa actually looks incredible here, wowâhe must have hated this photoshoot.â You turned another page, eyes widening. âDamn, even Hinataâs looking ripped.â
Meian arched a brow. â...That right?â
âOh, absolutely,â you grinned. âSeriously, whoever planned this deserves a raise. They captured perfection.â
Meian let out a slow, deliberate exhale through his nose.
â...Captured perfection, huh?â
You nodded, still obliviously flipping pages. âI mean, look at these guys, Shugo. Theyâre built likeââ
You yelped as suddenly, the entire world flipped.
Before you could even react, Meian had hauled you up over his shoulder, calendar completely forgotten as he marched toward the bedroom with zero warning.
âShugoâwhat theâPUT ME DOWN.â
âNope.â
âYou are not seriouslyââ
âOh, I am.â
His grip was firm, his tone too smug, and you finally realized.
ââŠYouâre jealous.â
He snorted. âNot jealous. Just provinâ a point.â
âA point about what?!â
Meian kicked the bedroom door shut behind him, tossing you onto the mattress effortlessly before climbing over you, his hands braced on either side of your head.
âSince ya like praisinâ the team so much,â he murmured, voice dipping lower, rougher, âI figured Iâd remind ya which one of us ya like the most.â
Your breath caught.
For someone who claimed not to be jealous, the heat in his gaze said otherwise.
âStill think they captured perfection?â he asked, his smirk dangerous.
You swallowed, the calendar long forgotten on the floor.
ââŠI might need a closer look to compare.â
His chuckle was low, pleased.
âGood answer.â

The club room door slammed open, rattling on its hinges.
âWHERE IS HE?!â
The team froze.
A half-eaten rice ball hit the floor. Water was choked on. Someone knocked over a sports bag in their rush to get out of the way.
Higashiyama whispered, âOh, shit.â
Futamata grabbed Bobataâs arm. âIs it too late to run?â
Bobata just stared, resigned. âWeâre already in the splash zone.â
But the one person who should have been afraid? He wasnât.
Terushima barely had time to lift his head before you snatched him by the collar and slammed him against the wall, forearm pressing hard against his chest, pinning him in place.
A sharp oof left his lips, but even as you glared daggers at him, even as your breath came in sharp, furious exhalesâ
He grinned.
âOh, wow,â he murmured, eyes flickering with something dangerousâsomething excited. âDidnât realize you liked it rough.â
Your grip tightened. âWould you care to explain to me why I was just called into the principalâs office to be chastised for my so-called proposal for the volleyball team to offer shirtless pictures as a way to increase funding?â
The entire team collectively inhaled.
Futamata wheezed. âOh my god.â
Higashiyama muttered, âThatâs gotta be a new record for dumbassery.â
Bobata just covered his face with his hands.
Meanwhile, Terushima blinked at you, head tilting back against the wall as he let out a slow, amused exhale. âDamn. They really thought youâ?â He laughed, shaking his head. âThatâs actually incredible.â
âYou absolute menace,â you snapped, shoving against his chest slightly before pressing him back down again. âYou submitted that under my name.â
Terushimaâs hands lifted lazily, like he was some innocent bystander in all this. âNow, now, letâs not jump to conclusionsââ
âJump to conclusions?â Your voice rose, incredulous. âYouâre really about to stand here, pinned to a wall, and try to tell me I did this to myself?â
âWellââ
Futamata cut in, laughing in disbelief. âHeâs gonna try it. Heâs really gonna try it.â
And then, the real nail in the coffinâ
Bobata scoffed, shaking his head. âHeâs just trying to get Yoko Nakamura to date him.â
Silence.
Terushimaâs expression dropped. âEXCUSE ME?â
Higashiyama immediately nodded. âOh, yeah. Didnât Yoko say she liked guys who were âconfident but not too cockyâ?â
Futamata grinned. âAnd someone said, âHey, I know a way to prove Iâm the perfect mix of both.ââ
Your jaw dropped. âSo you mean to tell meââ You exhaled sharply, shoving against Terushimaâs chest one last time. âYou pulled me into this mess because of a crush?!â
âOkay, first of all, I wouldnât call it a crushââ
You leaned in, voice low and sharp as a knife. âListen to me, very carefully, Terushima.â
For the first time, his smirk faltered.
âIf you ever pull something like this againâif you ever use my name for one of your dumbass ideas, if you ever make me sit through another awkward meeting where the principal is looking at me like Iâm about to pull out a portfolio of thirst trapsââ
Futamata audibly snorted, but you didnât even acknowledge it. Your glare burned into Terushima.
âI will make your life a living nightmare.â
The air in the room shifted.
You saw itâthat flicker in his eyes.
Not fear. No, that wasnât what you were going for.
It was something else.
A slow, sharp, assessing look. The slight way his jaw tightened, the way his smirk wasnât quite as smug as before.
It was the realization that you were dead serious.
For a long moment, neither of you moved.
Then, finally, finally, you let him go.
The second you stepped back, Terushima rolled his shoulders, exhaling deeply like he had to shake off whatever had just happened.
You, on the other hand, turned on your heel with a huff and stormed out, calling over your shoulder, âGet your act together, Terushima. Or donâtâI donât care. Just stay the hell out of my way.â
The door slammed shut behind you.
Silence.
All eyes turned to Terushima.
He glared back. âWhat?â
Bobata shook his head, exasperated. âHonestly? Pulling her pigtails in the schoolyard would be more subtle than this.â
Terushima scowled, running a hand through his hair. âYouâre all full of shit.â
Higashiyama shrugged. âDude. She literally had you pinned.â
Futamata snickered. âI dunno, man. She got the last word and left you looking stupid. You sure youâre not into that?â
Terushima threw his head back with an exaggerated groan. âI hate all of you.â
But even as he muttered under his breath, even as he grumbled about his entire team being traitors, his eyes flickered toward the door.
And for the first time in a long time, he wasnât entirely sure who had won that exchange.
Tsukishima had never been the jealous type.
Or so he liked to believe.
But as he stood a few feet away from you at the museumâs fundraising gala, swirling the last bit of whiskey in his glass, he couldnât help the slow simmer of irritation building in his chest.
Some guyâsome obnoxiously confident guyâwas standing way too close to you.
Tsukishima watched as the man leaned in just slightly, flashing a charming grin, his hand gesturing a little too animatedly for whatever mindless conversation he was trying to impress you with. You were polite, nodding at whatever he was saying, but Tsukishima caught the way your fingers curled slightly against the fabric of your dressâthe telltale sign that you were uncomfortable.
His jaw clenched.
Tsukishima was a logical man. He knew you werenât interested, knew you were his in every way that matteredâbut that didnât stop the irrational flicker of annoyance coursing through him.
So he drained the rest of his drink, set the glass down on the nearest table, and made his way over.
âExcuse me,â his voice came out smooth, a fraction lower than usual as he slid an arm around your waist, pulling you firmly against his side. His hand rested just above your hip, fingers pressing into the fabric of your dress in a silent claim. Mine.
You blinked up at him, momentarily surprised, before a small smile tugged at your lips.
The man, however, didnât seem to take the hint. âOh, I was just having a great conversation withââ
âSheâs not interested.â
There was no venom in Tsukishimaâs toneâjust a matter-of-fact finality that left no room for argument.
The man blinked, looking between the two of you before finally stepping back with a sheepish laugh. âAh⊠right. My mistake.â
He made some excuse to leave, and as soon as he was out of earshot, you turned to Tsukishima with an amused look. âJealous, Kei?â
He scoffed, adjusting his glasses. âYouâre delusional.â
âOh, sure,â you teased, poking at his chest. âThat wasnât possessiveness at all.â
Tsukishima exhaled sharply, but his arm around your waist didnât loosen. If anything, his grip on you tightened.
ââŠI just didnât like how he was looking at you,â he muttered.
Your teasing softened. Tilting your head, you leaned up, pressing a kiss to the corner of his mouth.
âI only look at you, you know.â
Tsukishimaâs eyes flickered to yours, something unreadable behind his gaze. Then, as if satisfied with your answer, he let out a small âTch,â and pulled you even closer.
ââŠGood.â
Fun Story to Share.
I got my (now 18-year-old) daughter into Ao3 back in 2021. I taught her she should always comment - even if the fic looks old or abandoned or whatever. She did.
Well - she got this email this morning:
The fic was written in 2014 and essentially abandoned.
Bethy read and reviewed in 2021 (and was actually the only person who had commented at all).
Today in 2025 - the final chapter was posted by the author and this was her reply to Bethyâs comment.
âââ
Never question whether a fic is too old to comment on.
The team was loud, as always.
Oikawa, now freshly showered and looking somewhat like himself again, was in the middle of being teased by Hanamaki and Matsukawa.
âSo, Captain, letâs talk about your tragic love life,â Matsukawa said, slinging an arm around Oikawaâs shoulders.
Hanamaki took a dramatic sip of his drink. âYeah, we all knew she was gonna break up with you before you did. What does that say about you, huh?â
âShut up,â Oikawa groaned, smacking Matsukawaâs arm off him, though there was no real heat behind it. You could see his mood rising with every passing moment.
âHey, at least you still have volleyball,â Matsukawa said, raising his glass like he was making a toast.
âRight, the one true love of your life,â Hanamaki added with a smirk.
Oikawa sighed dramatically. âYou guys are the worst.â
You watched from the side, letting their banter wash over you. The ache from earlier was still there, a dull weight in your chest, but at least Oikawa wasnât sulking anymore. That was the important thing.
A presence appeared beside you, and you didnât even have to look to know it was Hajime.
âIâm impressed,â he admitted, crossing his arms as he watched Oikawa shove Hanamaki. âI tried to get him out of bed earlier, but he wouldnât budge.â
You smirked, nudging him lightly with your elbow. âThatâs because you donât know how to sweet-talk him, Hajime.â
He rolled his eyes. âOh, please. If I tried sweet-talking Oikawa, Iâd never hear the end of it.â
You snickered. âYeah, heâd probably take that as an invitation to propose.â
Hajime shook his head, amused, before glancing at you, his expression shifting into something more knowing. âSo,â he said casually, âare you going to make a move, or are we just going to keep going in circles?â
You exhaled sharply, running a hand through your hair. âPlease, you shouldâve seen what he told me earlier.â
Hajime raised an eyebrow.
You turned to him, pressing a hand to your chest mockingly, and sighed dramatically. âHe looked me in the eye, Hajime. And do you know what he said?â
Hajime waited.
âYouâre a good friend,â you deadpanned, voice dripping with bitterness.
Hajime winced. âOuch.â
âYeah.â You let out a short laugh, shaking your head. âSo, no, Iâm not making a move. Not when he clearly doesnât see me that way.â
Hajime was quiet for a moment before shrugging. âYou never know. Heâs an idiot. You might have to spell it out for him.â
You huffed, watching as Oikawa dramatically whined about something to the others. âYeah, well⊠I think Iâve done enough for one night.â Then you hear a whine of your name. You look over to Oikawa's pleading face along with Matsun's and Makki's devious ones.
âYou promised me they would give me a break!â Oikawa suddenly called out, his voice carrying over the chatter of the team. His eyes locked onto yours, pleading dramatically, though the glint of betrayal was exaggerated.
You rolled your eyes but couldnât suppress a smirk. âCâmon, guys, give him some slack,â you called, raising your hands in surrender.
Hanamaki gasped in mock offense. âOh, so now youâre defending him?â
âSheâs going soft,â Matsukawa said, shaking his head.
âI am not going soft,â you shot back, narrowing your eyes.
Hajime, beside you, smirked before stepping forward. âActually, now that I think about it⊠didnât Oikawa almost cry in first-year when he lost his favorite knee pads?â
Oikawa whipped around. âIwa-chan.â
âOh, right!â Hanamakiâs eyes lit up. âThe ones with the little stars on them?â
âYou guys swore to take that to the grave!â Oikawa cried, scandalized.
âI donât know, man,â Matsukawa said, leaning back with a grin. âKind of sounds like a moment that deserves to be remembered.â
As the teasing escalated, Oikawa slumped in his seat, arms crossed, pouting like a child. âI hate all of you.â
You laughed at the whole exchange, and when you glanced back at Oikawa, expecting him to still be sulking, you caught something differentâsomething small, almost imperceptible.
He was smiling.
It was barely there, just a slight tug at the corners of his lips, but it was real. And for a brief moment, as his gaze lifted, he met your eyes.
The world around you blurred, and warmth spread through your chest. You swore you felt your heart stutter, just for a second.
And then, as quickly as the moment had happened, you cursed yourself for it.
Get a grip, you scolded yourself, tearing your gaze away.
Oikawa was still laughing with the others, completely unaware of the effect he had on you.
You exhaled, shaking your head, willing the butterflies away.
Hajime, still standing beside you, didnât say anything, but when you glanced at him, he was looking at you with a knowing expression.
âNot a word,â you muttered.
He smirked. âDidnât say anything.â
You groaned, shoving his shoulder, but he only chuckled in response.
Nanami and Itadori core <3
"Come on! Everyone needs a spunky little sidekick!"
"Yeah, and it's super cute and silly until the spunky little sidekick dies because they think they're grown up enough to handle the job I've spent the last 20 years doing. Not. Happening."
Youâd known Oikawa for as long as you could remember. From messy sandbox battles to after-school practices that went late into the evening, heâd always been thereâyour first friend, your longest friend. The three of youâOikawa, Iwaizumi, and youâhad always been a unit, bound by years of shared childhood, inside jokes, and more than a few arguments.
But right now? Right now, Oikawa was testing every ounce of your patience.
âHajime said youâve been holed up in here for hours,â you said as you shoved open his bedroom door without knocking. âWhatâs your excuse this time?â
Oikawa groaned from the depths of his bed, a mess of blankets and pillows hiding all but the top of his ruffled hair. His room was a disaster zone: clothes scattered everywhere, an abandoned volleyball rolling lazily near the desk, and the faint smell of coffee from the cup Hajime mustâve left here earlier.
âGo away,â Oikawa muttered, voice muffled by his pillow.
âNo,â you said firmly, kicking the door shut behind you. âIâm not letting you sulk forever. What happened?â
He rolled onto his back, his face pale and his eyes a little red. âShe broke up with me,â he muttered, his voice cracking just enough to make you wince. âShe said I was too focused on volleyball. That I didnât care enough about her.â
Your heart squeezed. Youâd seen the writing on the wall. Oikawa was intense about volleyballâobsessed, really. It was one of the things you admired about him, even when it frustrated you. But it was hard to hear him like this, even harder to know that heâd never think about you the way he thought about her.
You crossed your arms, steeling yourself. âWell, sheâs not wrong,â you said, your tone blunt. âYouâve got a one-track mind, Tooru. Volleyball this, volleyball that. What did you think would happen?â
His face scrunched up in annoyance, and he reached out to grab a pillow, lobbing it weakly in your direction. âGee, thanks for the support.â
You dodged it easily, smiling despite yourself. âIâm serious, Tooru. Youâve got to figure this out, or youâre going to keep pushing people away.â
He groaned, throwing an arm over his eyes. âYou sound like Iwa-chan.â
âMaybe thatâs because Hajime and I are the only ones stubborn enough to stick around while you throw yourself headfirst into everything,â you shot back, sitting on the edge of his bed. âDo you even realize how much weâve put up with over the years?â
He peeked at you from under his arm, a reluctant smile tugging at the corner of his lips. âYou guys are too stubborn to leave me.â
âDamn right we are,â you said, reaching out to flick his forehead. âBut donât push your luck.â
Silence fell between you, the tension lifting slightly. You leaned back, resting on your hands as you studied him. His hair was a mess, his shirt wrinkled, and he looked younger somehow, like the kid you used to climb trees with instead of the volleyball star he was now.
âCome on,â you said eventually, standing up and brushing imaginary dust off your pants. âThe teamâs going out. You canât stay in here forever.â
âI donât feel like it,â he muttered, sitting up slowly.
âTough.â You grabbed his wrist and tugged, ignoring his protests. âGo shower, change, and join us. Iâll wait in the living room to make sure you donât crawl back into bed.â
He sighed, dragging his feet as he shuffled toward his dresser. âYouâre so bossy.â
âAnd youâre so whiny,â you shot back, grinning. âGo!â
Just as you turned to leave, his voice stopped you.
âHey.â
You glanced back, raising an eyebrow. He stood there, clothes in hand, his expression softer than usual.
âThanks,â he said, his voice quieter now. âYouâre a good friend.â
The words hit harder than they should have, settling like a stone in your chest. But you forced a smile, pushing the ache down where it belonged.
âOf course,â you replied, your voice steady.
You closed the door behind you, leaning against it for just a moment.
Being his friend was enough, you told yourself.
It had to be.
Tsukishima adjusted his glasses, that infuriating smirk curling on his lips as he glanced your way. âYou know, for someone who talks so much, you donât actually do much worth noticing.â
You let out a sharp snort, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a real reaction. âSays the guy whose biggest skill is standing there and pretending heâs better than everyone.â
He tilted his head slightly, the smirk deepening like he was enjoying every second of this. âPretending? Thatâs cute. I didnât realize you thought I had to try.â
You crossed your arms and stepped closer, eyes narrowing. âWow, you're exhausting to be around. Is it lonely being this much of an asshole?â
His chuckle was dry, almost condescending, as he leaned in just enough to make your breath hitch. âOh, donât worry about me. Itâs nice having peace and quietâsomething you clearly wouldnât understand.â
Your glare sharpened, but you refused to back down. âYeah, because your personality screams âquiet and peaceful.â Youâre just bitter because I donât let you get away with your holier-than-thou act.â
Tsukishimaâs lips twitched, his amusement barely contained. âBitter? Please. If I cared what you thought, Iâd have to actually take you seriously first.â
You met his gaze, your smirk finally matching his. âSure, keep telling yourself that. We both know I live rent-free in that big head of yours.â
His eyes narrowed, and for a moment, his smirk faltered before coming back sharper than ever. He leaned down slightly, his voice dropping to a low murmur. âLiving there? Donât flatter yourself. Youâre more like an annoying commercial I canât skip.â
You stepped even closer, now toe-to-toe with him, your voice just as low and taunting. âFunny, because for someone who doesnât care, you sure love watching.â
For a moment, neither of you moved, the air between you practically crackling with tension. His gaze flickered down to your lips, then back up to your eyes, his smirk wavering in a way that almost lookedâwhat, unsure? No way. This was Tsukishima, the king of snark. But the silence was heavy, loaded with something neither of you seemed willing to name.
âUh⊠Am I interrupting something?â
Both of you jumped, heads snapping to the side where Yamaguchi stood awkwardly in the doorway, clutching a volleyball and looking like heâd rather be anywhere else. His wide eyes darted between the two of you, a light pink dusting his cheeks.
âWhat are youââ Tsukishima started, his usual dry tone already creeping in, but Yamaguchi cut him off, holding up a hand like he was afraid to hear more.
âDonât even explain. Iâm good. I just⊠Daichiâs looking for you two, so, uh⊠maybe deal with that? Whenever youâre done⊠whatever this is.â He disappeared around the corner so fast it was like he was never there.
You blinked, heat creeping up your neck as you realized just how close you and Tsukishima were standing. He stepped back first, casually adjusting his glasses like the moment had never happened. You, on the other hand, couldnât resist.
âGuess thatâs your cue to stop glaring at me like I ruined your life, Tsukishima,â you quipped, raising a brow as you crossed your arms.
Tsukishima shot you a sidelong glance, his usual smirk and condescension firmly in place. âI only look like that when someoneâs wasting my time.â
You scoffed, turning on your heel with a grin. âYeah, sure. Keep telling yourself that.â You headed down the hall, leaving him to follow, still glaring at your back.
Atsumu had absolutely no qualms with his life at the moment. In fear of jinxing it, he could say it was damn near perfect. He had accomplished his professional dream, being on Japan's Olympic Volleyball team, alongside teammates who have known and played with almost half his life. The people he considered to be the highest of the high. To make things better, he had you by his side, the greatest gift he's ever gotten (He'd tell you but you'd laugh at him for being too cheesy). You two had quite the blissful marriage, and with finding out a few weeks ago that you were pregnant with twins, he couldn't be happier with you.
Atsumu had been checking his hair out in the bathroom, prepping it for a luncheon he, and subsequently you, were invited to by the Japan Volleyball Association.
"Fuck!"
Atsumu hears you shriek out of frustration from the other room. He jumps almost immediately, rushing in to see what was causing you alarm. Whipping around the door frame, arms up to defend his wife, his adrenaline dissipates as he finds you in front of your vanity mirror struggling to zip up what was your favourite dress, but has recently become your most hated. Your bump stretched the dress, making it hard for the ends to come around let alone the zipper. Your face is red with effort, and with a lot of emotion swirling in your eyes. "Hey, hey, you okay?" He calls out your name softly, which usually made you calmer, but in this mood, your temper only flared. So of course, you begin to cry. "No, I'm not okay! I wanted to wear this dress and it doesn't fit! Nothing fits me, and I've gotten fat!" You break, spilling your guts as well as your tears, letting the tension break away from you. Immediately, Astumu is at your side, hugging you and allowing you to bury your face in his chest. He rubs your back in a soothing motion, trying to get you to calm down. "Babe, who on earth said you're fat? You're pregnant." He gave you a squeeze, talking gently in your ear, but you shook your head. "But I got so big so fast!" You were whining now, and while Atsumu knew you were genuinely upset, he couldn't help but smile. Still, he gave you a reassuring kiss on your head. "Well yeah, there's two of em' in there." His hands went from your back to your swollen stomach, "They need room to grow." And you groan, being dramatic. "But what if at the party they think I'm fat?" You ramble, clutching Atsumu's steamed shirt. Your husband stutters, trying to think of the right answer. "I'll... Make sure to let everyone know we're pregnant?" "What?! I don't want people to know we're doing it!" Atsumu gives you a look of pure confusion. Atsumu blinked at you, his lips slightly parted in disbelief. "Sweetheart," he said slowly, as if choosing his words carefully, "you do know that's how babies happen, right? I mean, it ain't exactly a secret how we got here."
You groaned, your cheeks heating up. "I know that! But still, I donât want them thinking about it. It's embarrassing!"
He couldn't help itâhe laughed. A real, loud, genuine laugh that shook his shoulders and made his head tilt back. His amusement was contagious, and despite your earlier frustration, you felt your lips twitch into a reluctant smile.
"Youâre somethinâ else, you know that?" Atsumu said, grinning as he wiped the corner of his eye. He leaned down and kissed the top of your head again, his hands gently squeezing your waist. "But if you donât want people thinking about it, fine. I wonât say a word. But listen hereâif anyone tries to say somethin' stupid about you tonight, Iâll let 'em know exactly how proud I am of you. No one messes with my wife."
You sniffled, swiping at your cheeks with the back of your hand. "You promise?"
"Cross my heart, darlinâ." He tilted your chin up with his thumb, meeting your watery gaze. "And for the record, youâre the most beautiful thing Iâve ever seen. Donât you dare let that dress or anyone at that party tell you otherwise. Got it?"
"But what ifâ"
"No 'what ifs.'" Atsumu cut you off gently but firmly, resting his forehead against yours. "Youâre not just my wife; youâre also the woman growinâ two babies, and if that ainât somethinâ amazing, I dunno what is. So wear somethinâ that makes you feel comfy, and weâll go in there and show everyone how perfect ya areâbump, dress, and all."
You sighed, leaning into him. "You always know what to say, donât you?"
He smirked. "Nah, sometimes I wing it and hope for the best. But Iâm glad this worked."
You couldnât help but laugh at that, the tension finally easing from your body. Atsumu, satisfied with your soft giggle, gave you another quick kiss before pulling back and gently guiding you to sit down on the bed.
"Stay put. Iâll pick you somethinâ else," he said, already heading to the closet.
"Wait, youâre picking my outfit?" You raised an eyebrow at him, skeptical.
He shot you a playful look over his shoulder. "Trust me, babe. I got this."
You werenât entirely sure you did trust him, but the way he moved so determinedly between your closet and the mirror made you feel a little lighter. Besides, how could you not feel cared for when your husband was doing everything in his power to make sure you felt confident and loved?
Minutes later, Atsumu returned holding a simple but elegant dress you hadnât worn in years. It was loose enough to accommodate your bump but still flattering in all the right ways. "Try this," he said, holding it up proudly.
You stood and slipped it on, and to your surprise, it fit perfectly. When you turned to face the mirror, Atsumuâs reflection was beaming behind you, his arms wrapping around your waist.
"See? Told ya I got good taste," he said, resting his chin on your shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah," you mumbled, feeling your cheeks heat up again. "Thanks, 'Tsumu."
"Anytime," he murmured, his voice soft and full of love.
As you both got ready to leave for the luncheon, Atsumu leaned in one last time, his hand resting protectively over your belly. "Yâknow," he whispered, "theyâre real lucky to have you as their mom."
You smiled, your earlier worries completely forgotten. "And theyâre lucky to have you as their dad."
With that, you headed out together, feeling lighter than you had all day.
It was the dead of night. Your shared bedroom bathed in the night, light speckling from the nightlife in Tokyo. It was perfectly peaceful, and ever since you had found out you were pregnant with Hajime's child, was the perfect condition for you to have a restful sleep. The temperature exactly how you wanted it, the right amount of blanket, and of course, your sleeping husband's chest to rest your head. And yet, you lay wide awake.
You sigh, turning the other way, hoping it would magically put you to sleep. It didn't. All you could focus on was your stomach eating itself in hunger. You hadn't expected your appetite to increase this much so fast, but instead of eating for two you, it was more like a small villiage. You curse yourself, giving into temptation of the beast in your stomach and move to get up. "Hm? Where are you going?" Your husband's voice is rough with sleep as he squints at you. You look at him somewhat sheepily before whispering back, "I'm just getting something to eat, go back to sleep" With a kiss to his forehead. You, thinking that would be all, are shocked when you still feel his hand pulling you back. "Hold on." He grunts as he also moves to get out of bed. You're quick to stop him, "Oh, no you don't have to-"
"Can I not feed my wife and kid?" He asks gently in your ear, giving you a kiss on the side of the head before taking you to the kitchen, heart fluttering in your chest so hard you could feel it.
Can you please do osamu with fav position too? Im on your knees now đ§đ§đ§
You may rise, fellow simp... I've come 𫥠------------
Osamu Miya was a man of simple pleasures and needs. So long as had had a roof over his head, some good food to munch on and a bed, he wouldnât complain.
But for some reason, you were the one thing he could never get enough.
Your legs are wrapped around his hips, Osamu reveling in the way your pussy sucked him whole when he filled you. You were panting in his face, hands clutching at his back for any sort of anchor. He thought you were absolutely delicious like this. Melting at his touch, your eyes drowning in lust, trying to muster up a coherent sentence. Osamu canât help the groan that rumbles out from his throat, moving his head into the crook of your neck as he leaves kisses and bites all down your neck. ââSamu..!â You squealed at a harsher nip, your pants turning into moans as he licks and suckles at the bite.
âWhat? I canât enjoy my meal?â Osamuâs honestly surprised how even his voice sounded, even though he couldâve finished at the way you called his name. He traces his fingers down your chest, circling your nipple before giving it a few flicks. He adored how reactive you were when he did that. You gasp, calling out his name as he continued to fuck you, the room filling with the sound of skin slapping alongside your screams. Your nails claw down his back as you continue to sputter muffled versions of his name. Your orgasm triggers his, and youâre both coming down from a blissful high. Youâre both panting, room reeking of sex when you try to get up to get a towel, when you feel Osamuâs hand gripping your arm. Cock still red and hard. âIâm still hungry.â
