Chapter Text
“Pssh,” Atsumu Miya said, nudging Hinata in the ribs with his elbow.
The tangerine hair opposite hitter ignored his setter as he picked up some volleyballs and threw them into the cart as it was his and Atsumu’s turn to straighten up after practice. He simply wanted to get home and call Kageyama to make plans for their long weekend together. Kageyama was going to arrive tomorrow morning.
“Hinata!” Atsumu said a bit louder. At that point, Hinata turned to look at Atsumu.
“What? I’m trying to get home to call Kageyama,” he asked, throwing one of the last balls into the cart.
“That’s the chick I was telling you about the other day,” Atsumu said motioning towards where a slender young woman with black hair that fell just below her shoulders. She was clad in a pin skirt and a dark purple blouse with a pair of black heels that made her longs look sinfully long. She was standing talking with JVA sports promotion department head and Coach Foster on the sidelines.
“Oh,” Hinata said. “So she’s gonna be your next conquest?”
“Duh! Just look at her! She’s sex in heels!”
“Good luck with that,” Hinata said as he threw the last volleyball into the cart and wheeled it towards the storage closet. Atsumu looked at him in confusion as Hinata disappeared into the storage room. What did Hinata know that Atsumu didn’t?
“Come on,” Hinata said, grabbing Atsumu’s shirt. “Let’s get changed and head out. It’s a long weekend and I’m ready to relax before Kageyama gets here tomorrow. And stop gawking at the woman with coach. She has a huge diamond on her ring finger. She’s taken!”
“That has never stopped me before!” Atsumu retorted as he turned and followed Hinata towards the locker rooms.
Hinata scoffed at his comment.
“So whose up for grabbing some dinner and drinks tonight!” Atsumu loudly asked the Jackals locker room after he grabbed a quick shower. He opened up his locker to grab his street clothes as he began to change.
“I’m game!” Hinata happily said. “Just not too late since I have to pick up Kageyama in the morning from the train station.”
“That’s one,” Atsumu happily said as he slipped into his jeans.
“Sorry Tsum-tsum,” Bokuto said. “It’s Akaashi’s weekend.”
Meian and Barnes turned down the offer as well, while Inunaki and Tomas agreed to go out with the duo of Atsumu and Hinata.
“Omi?” Atsumu asked.
“No,” Sakusa quietly said.
“Alright, that is Hinata, Sakusa, Inunaki and Tomas,” Atsumu said, not hearing Sakusa’s response as he pulled on his Jackals sweatshirt.
“Ummm….” Hinata said cutting off the rambling setter. “I think Omi said no.”
Shocked, Atsumu turned to look at Sakusa in shock. “But Omi! You almost always come out with us!”
“And now that is changing.”
“How come?”
“My wife has moved here. Her job relocated her.” Sakusa simply stated.
“You’re married!?!” Atsumu said in shock.
Sakusa nodded yes. “Everyone knows.”
Atsumu looked around the locker room and saw that all the team was nodding.
“That’s right!” Meian said. “Is she going to be at the team dinner on Monday?”
“I’m pretty sure she’ll come,” Sakusa said as he turned and reached for something on the top shelf of his locker. As he turned back around he held up his left hand towards Atsumu. There on his ring finger was a black band. “See here’s my ring.”
“But that’s black!”
“It’s one of those silicone rings you idiot. I have a gold band at home.” Sakusa replied as he picked up his duffel bag and started to head for the door of the locker room.
“Tell Aimi that I said hello!!” Hinata happily said as Sakusa opened the door. He turned and nodded before leaving the locker room without another word.
“I still don’t think he’s married,” Atsumu said as he collapsed on the couch in the shared apartment where he, Hinata and Bokuto lived. The duo had just arrived home from dinner and drinks with a few of their teammates.
“Haven’t you ever looked Omi up on IG?” Hinata suggested as he sat down in the chair besides the couch. He had his phone unlocked and was scrolling through his own IG account.
“Omi has an IG account?!?”
“Yeah. He doesn’t post often and usually his wife tags him in her posts.” Hinata said turning his phone towards Atsumu. On the screen was an account with the username ‘Sakusa_Kiyoomi_15’. Atsumu took the phone from Hinata and began scrolling through some of the posts with pictures of Sakusa playing volleyball – from both in college and with the Jackals and even a few from the beach. Then there were several pictures of Sakusa with a young woman with black hair and soft blue eyes. Sometimes they were both wearing masks, or sometimes just he was. One of the last pictures on his account was of Sakusa and the same young woman kissing at their wedding.
“Damn! She’s a knock out!” Atsumu said looking up from the phone.
“That knock out is the same chick you said today was sex in heels.” Hinata said.
Atsumu’s mouth fell open as he looked back at the picture and then back at Hinata. His roommate was pulling his leg. “Yer pulling my leg! There is no way that Omi scored a hot chick like that!”
Hinata chuckled as he took his phone back from Atsumu. “They’ve been together since the end of middle school.”
“And she’s put up with him for that long?”
“Un hun,” Hinata said with a smile. “In fact part of the reason why Omi acts the way he does is because of her. It’s rather sweet.”
“I bet…” Atsumu said with a roll of his eyes.
“He’s always willing to talk about Aimi. You just have to ask.”
“Ugh!” Atsumu said frustrated. “This is unbelievable! I could have sworn that Omi was gay when it turns out that he is married to the hottest chick that I’ve ever seen! I’m the only one on the team without a boyfriend or girlfriend!”
“Pretty much.”
Atsumu didn’t say a word as he stood up and stomped off to his room and slammed the door shut.
Hinata smiled to himself as he sent a text message to Kageyama. ‘We don’t have to go to a hotel this weekend. Atsumu is in a mood. He’ll leave us alone.’
Within seconds, he had a response from his boyfriend. ‘Good.’
