However Osamu knew that he probably wouldn't hang onto volleyball that long.

"Can you pass me my headphones?"
Osamu repeated.

"Yeah, yeah."
Atsumu mumbled as he grabbed the headphones on the coffee table, and threw it at his brother.
He didn't once take his eyes off the screen.
Osamu sighed as he slipped on his sneakers and headed outside.
It was time for his morning jog.

Suna placed the sandwiches on the small, beige, picnic table.
A chilly breeze blew past your hair, as you stuffed your hands into your pockets.

"A picnic in October, how nice."
you laughed as you bit into your sandwich.

"Not ideal weather, but picnics are always great."
Suna beamed.

You couldn't help but notice how much you cherished Suna's smile.
His little dimples at the side of his cheeks, and the way the cold made his face turn pink.
He was adorable.
But just thinking this made you uncomfortable.
You didn't want to fall in love, love had always ruined things for you.

"You're blushing (y/n)."
Suna smirked.

"UH- UHM SORRY."
You felt my ears get hot and tried covering your face.

Suna started laughing as your face got even redder.

"Who are you thinking about?"
He asked, looking deeply into your eyes.

"W-what...?"
you stammered, not being able to form an answer.

"Anyways, forget about it, I got a question."
Suna suddenly asked as he set down his sandwich.

You gulped.
"Yes?"

"You don't have to answer this if it makes you uncomfortable, but, what was your reaction when you figured out that I liked you?"

-•-

Osamu turned the corner towards the park.
He was on his usual jogging track, that's when he noticed Suna at a nearby picnic table.

"What's he doing here?"
Osamu thought, as he stopped running.

Then he noticed you sitting across from Suna.

"Is this a...date?"
He thought as he tried observing the scene.

You sat there awkwardly, unable to form words.
"What do I say...?"
you thought, Suna's face seemed more worried the longer you took to answer.

"I was shocked."
you blurted out.

"Shocked?"

You nodded.

"I didn't think you would like someone like me."
you added, not being able to look Suna in his eyes.

"Someone like you?"
Suna gave you a pitiful look.
He didn't like the fact that you thought of yourself in a negative way.

"Suna, you're wonderful. You're kind and caring and so sweet. I'm not like that, heck I'm always so stressed out, and I never know what I'm doing. And I regret all of my decisions, and I'm genuinely not happy."
you explained as you felt tears well up in your eyes.

"Aw (y/n)..."
Suna stood up from his seat and moved next to you.
He wrapped his arms around you, and you rested your head on his chest.
He rubbed your shoulder as he held onto you.
You felt him gently kiss the top of your head, which made your cheeks turn a shade of crimson red.

"(y/n), I love everything about you. Of course I would like someone like you. You're amazing, and so beautiful."
Suna whispered.

You felt chills go down your spine when he said that.
You didn't know what to say, but you knew that you appreciated Suna a lot.
But were you ready for a relationship?

You had always been very independent, so should you change all of that now?

"I love you..."
Suna whispered under his breath.

"Tch."
you said through gritted teeth.

He probably didn't want you to hear that.
But you felt a strange warm feeling in your chest, and a familiar sensation of butterflies in your stomach.

"Do I love him too?"
you thought as you nestled into his chest.

Both of you weren't letting go, and honestly you didn't want to either.

"Suna? (y/n)?"
You heard a voice call out.

That made you two jump, and Suna quickly released you from his grasp.

"Osamu?"
you asked, as you saw the grey- haired Miya twin approach you.

"What's going on?"
He asked, a hurt expression flashed across his face.

You remember Kita saying it would be much easier if you picked someone.
But, right now, you didn't know who to pick.

And you didn't want to either.
