"So how long have you been feeling this overwhelming need to run away from me hm?" He questioned me with a smirk and a raised eyebrow. His hands had also moved from my face to my hips and I flinched a bit at first but soon relaxed into his touch.

I grumble and frown at him. This bastard really knows how to ruin a moment eh? If he wasn't so fine and respectful I'd be whooping his ass right about now! "Uhh dude I ain't gonna lie to you...I've got no fucking clue you're the first person who's ever made my heart go doki doki"

He looked at me utterly gobsmacked and his face was kinda funny. "Made your heart what?"

"NEVERMIND!" I slap his chest but of course there isn't any impact because this man is built like a fucking brick wall. "Anyway you're one to talk, how long have you fancied this fine piece of ass?" I gave him a wink and he chuckled at what I said. Did I lie? No, no I did not.

He looked up for a bit and I assumed it was because he was thinking but then again with him you can never be too sure. "Remember a little while ago when I came back from a mission and was covered in blood?"

"And was on the verge of a panic attack, yes I remember it vividly"

He looked back down at me and had the same look on his face that he had when we were on the balcony outside of the medical room. His eyes had the same softness and seemed as if they were admiring any tiny detail he could spot. I hope I don't have any zits cause if he spots one of them I am officially gonna leave this planet- the aura around him was gentle and didn't make me feel uncomfortable one single bit but I gotta admit waiting for him to finish his sentence was stressing me out because my patience was running thin. "Well on that day you went out of your way and even started instructing the others around just to make sure I stayed calm and that's just when I had a feeling that you might be worth keeping around for a bit longer" he laughed at the end of his sentence and I punched his arm with as much force as I could.

"HEY! I ain't that bad to be around" I complain before he wraps his arms around me and pulls me into a hug. I was a bit taken aback at first but soon relaxed again and hugged him back. He smells so nice...

He ruffles some of my hair which causes me to grumble. "I know you're not, I actually enjoy being around you the most" we pull away from the hug and look at each other, his arms still around my waist and mine now resting back on his chest. "You had already caught my eye before that day but afterwards I knew I couldn't let you go"

"So I can be the Vice President of the clean freak club?"

He leans down to my ear and whispers, "sweetheart you haven't seen freaky yet" I manage to slip out of his grasp in a panic and waft my hands in front of me.

"AYO BACK THE FUCK UP!" He laughs as he watches me back away and try to calm myself down. My hair now looked a tad bit dishevelled but it wasn't anything a quick run through with my hand couldn't fix. "You can't be doing that shit to my heart dude" I take a deep breath and then approach him again but this time he keeps his hands to himself.

"Have you got any nicknames other than dude?" He folds his arms over his chest, still maintaining a smile on his face.

"Uhhh" I rub my chin and think. There was no need for me to do this but I decided to do it to keep the atmosphere up. "As surprising as it may be nothing comes to mind" I shrug my shoulders and look back into his eyes. Something kinda flashed in them when I said I had no other nicknames and I was scared for what he may say next.

"Call me Kiyoomi then"

The room went silent at this and my brain even stopped ticking for a moment. "Huh?"

"Call me Kiyoomi"

"I'm sorry what?" I lean my side towards him and cup around my ear, pretending that I didn't hear what he said once again when in truth I was still trying to process his request.

"Call me by my first name"

"I'm sorry one more time"

"Y/n I swear to god..." his gentle eyes turned to ones of seriousness and I couldn't help but feel excited at the newly founded tense atmosphere. "Ki.yoo.mi...call me Kiyoomi"

I put my hands on my hips and act like what he said had just clicked in my mind. "Well why didn't you just say so!" I smile at him innocently but I knew he had caught on to what I was doing.

"I change my mind I hate your guts" he goes to walk out of the room but I jump on his back.

"No please I'm sorry! My jokes are shit I'll stop I swear!" He takes my hands away from his shoulders and plants me back down on the ground before turning around to face me again, a shit eating grin plastered on his face. "You played me with that act didn't you?" He took a few seconds before he slowly nodded, his eye contact not fading away at any second. "You bastard!" I go to slap his arm but he catches my wrist and keeps it in his grip.

He lets go of my wrist but slides his palm up to meet mine and then intertwines our fingers, how can he be so casual about everything?! My heart is thumping like mad right now!
"You're just so fun to tease" he taunts me and I think about trying to hit him again but decided against it since I was getting tired and had been violent enough for today. I need to save my energy to swot Atsumu.

"If you're gonna tease me then do it properly" I throw a wink in his direction before holding his free hand with mine, comparing the difference in sizes and scanning over the few scratches and scars that painted his skin. "This might be a stupid question but how did you get all of these scars?" I brush over them with my thumb and I had no idea that he was watching me.

He holds up the other hand that was still holding mine and he points to his scars, not letting go of my hand for a single moment. "Most of these just appear and I don't remember what I did specifically to get them but this one here" he moves his finger so he is pointing at a scar that reaches across two of his knuckles. "This one is from a small fight I had with Atsumu"

"Wait you had a fight with 'Tsumu?" He nods. "When?"

He puts our hands back by his side and tightens his grip on them but not so much that it started to hurt me. "It was back when we first met...he was having a fight with his brother and my cousin tried stepping in to stop it and dragged me along with him but as Atsumu was about to swing for Osamu again he instead hit me" I rubbed my thumb over the long but thin scar as he told me this story, occasionally looking up into his eyes to let him know I was listening. "He didn't apologise or stop trying to hit his brother so I punched him back but he fucking bit me just as I made contact with him, his teeth are what caused the scar" as I was listening to the story he was telling me I was also trying to process the fact that he swore. Did I hear that correctly? Did he just say a bad word? HOW DARE HE! - it's not like I swear all the time, I have a heart of gold!

It was really abnormal for Sakusa to swear unless the situation he was in was really serious or if he was just super duper pissed off. However, I remembered the reason why he would've been so angry when Atsumu bit him. Not just because biting someone in that scenario is just weird but also because of "then I'm guessing you hit him again for potentially infecting you with his disease?" I loved Atsumu really, with all my heart I promise! It's just fun to joke about him sometimes. He takes the piss outta me almost all the time as well so my behaviour is justified!

He smiled at me and kissed the back of my hand. "See? You understand me and you've taken the time to do so" I snicker under my breath and had to try quite hard to not start laughing.

"This the part where you confess your undying love for me and how you'd go to the ends of the Earth just to see me smile?" I bat my eye lashes at him jokingly and luckily he picked up on my humour.

His left hand releases my right before it lands on my head and he then ruffles my hair again. I'm gonna fucking chop his hands off if he keeps doing that! "Yeah you wish I would make a statement like that wouldn't you?"

I gasp dramatically and hold a hand to my heart. "Who do you think I am? Some damsel in distress? And if I'm not wrong you're the one who got shot and needed saving! Anyway what isn't there to love about me I'm fucking awesome" I stick my middle finger up at him with a smirk occupying my face.

He leans his face in closer to mine and holds my cheek with his free hand. "You're vulgar mouth, darling". And because I was feeling quite cocky right about now I leaned closer to him as well so the gap was just getting smaller and smaller before I spoke again.

"Then why don't you sort it out for me? Darling" I send the nickname back his way and I could tell it flustered him since he pulled away and cleared his throat.

We both just stood there for a bit but then a thought popped into my mind and I wondered if it would tease him or not. "On a serious note I'm actually surprised you feel the same way" he finally makes eye contact with me again but this time he looks confused.

"What do you mean?"

I smile at him. "I thought you would've thought I was a germ or something" I lightly poke his arm and his confusion disappeared.

He rolled his eyes and cupped my chin as he kissed my forehead and then locked eyes with me again. "You're a good kind of germ"

"I dunno whether to take that as a compliment or-" but before I could finish my sentence the door came flying open and three bodies followed behind it, all crashing on the floor one after the other. "Uh" me and Sakusa just stand there staring at the three of them, our hands still interlocked.

"God dammit Bokuto get off me yer fat bastard!"

"Hey I'm not fat! I'm muscly" Bokuto seemed to be hurt by what Atsumu said so Hinata started comforting him until his mood shot right back up. "Oh hey guys!" Bokuto finally noticed us and we waved back awkwardly.

"Why are you all in here?" Sakusa starts off with this before continuing on. "And why did you all fall in here together?" He moves away from me to put his hands on his hips as he faces them all, his stern aura returning and I felt like we were in a meeting.

"Atsumu-san said that you were in here talking to Y/n and said we should eavesdrop on the conversation but Bokuto-san got a bit too excited and the door gave way" Hinata explained it in a way that made it sound like he had memorised everything Atsumu had said to him in order to snitch but I knew he had no bad intentions behind telling us what happened. He probably did it to avoid being intensely interviewed by Sakusa.

"Shoyo yer such a snitch!"

"Have you seen the look on his face? I almost shat my pants!" Now this was a sight to see and was completely shocking. NOW HINATA IS SWEARING?! What is the world coming to?

Sakusa cleared his throat in order to silence them both and I was with Hinata on this, I've nearly shat my pants because of how intimidating some people can be as well. "So you all decided to spy on me and Y/n?"

"I wanted to know what yer were goin' to say to her cause she's been actin' whack all fuckin' day" I felt a slight twang in my heart at this.

"OI! YOU WERE IN ON IT AS WELL DICKBRAIN!" I point my finger at him to which he just flips me off and sticks his tongue out at me.

Sakusa turned to me and was confused once again. "I'm sorry, in on what?"

"He helped me plan what pickup lines to use on you" I admitted with my body facing Sakusa so I could do the wanker hand side behind my back to Atsumu because I knew he was taunting me behind my back.

"Oh" he drops his hands to his sides and then folds his arms over his chest again. "No wonder some of them were awful" Atsumu looked heartbroken but Hinata spoke up and caused the conversation to switch to a slightly different topic.

"So uh..." he scratches his cheek lightly with his index finger and his eyes continuously dart across the room, he clearly felt awkward trying to say whatever he wanted to. "Are you two like uh...y'know" he didn't say the words exactly and I chuckled under my breath cause I found it kinda cute.

I looked at Sakusa and then back at Hinata and then back at Sakusa, I genuinely had no idea how to answer this because all we had done was explain how we felt for each other but nothing else had been discussed.

But to my surprise Sakusa answered for me.

"Yes"
