---------------------------------------
“Where are you going-”
“You have to leave-”
“Y/n, come back -”
“My plans are all ruined!”
You slide around the bar in the kitchen, barely managing to evade Suna’s grasp. He smacks his hands down on the counter, laughing as he watches you slip and slide across the tile, just out of reach.
“Why are you running!” He yells through his laughter. You just scowl at him.
“I can’t believe you’ve done this, Rin – I had a plan!” You gesture at yourself in exasperation. “I look stupid!”
“I’m a fan, personally,” He says, beaming at you. You make to escape, but he matches you, trapping you behind the bar. You stomp a foot.
“I had everything figured out! I was gonna dress up real pretty and surprise you – I look like someone’s grandmother-”
“Maybe I’m into sexy grandmothers-” He cuts off, barking out a laugh when you cut him a glare.
“I’m leaving you.”
“ Don’t even- ” He reaches across the counter for you, giving up and chasing you through the kitchen when you jump away. “- joke about that, you fuck -”
You scream, making a beeline through the living room and down the hall. You slide into the bathroom, reaching for the door and trying to throw it shut, but Suna just slams a hand on it and pushes his way into the room, trapping you. You scream helplessly, flailing when he catches you around the waist and lifts you off your feet.
“My beautiful lingerie! All of my plans!”
When he laughs in your ear, warm and close, your resolution cracks, and you slump in his arms. He hums, pleased, when you wrap your arms and legs around him and cling tight.
“Did you go out and buy lingerie, baby?”
“Yes.” You scowl, letting him walk you over to the sink to set you down on the edge.
“And you wanted to surprise me with it?”
“Yes,” You say, leaning away to glare up at him. “And now I’m gonna return it all. Jerk.”
“What’s this attitude for, huh?” He clicks his teeth at you, shaking his head with a grin. “You must have really missed me.”
You melt a little when he leans in close, his green eyes flicking between yours and then down to your mouth.
“Right?”
You warm and nod quietly, unable to tear your eyes away.
“ Right. ”
His lips are wonderfully familiar on yours.
You sigh, cupping his face with both hands and breathing him in. When he sets his hands on your waist, his grip is tight, seeking. He pulls you flush to his chest, tilting his head and slotting himself perfectly against you.
“ Missed you ,” He whispers, nipping lightly at your bottom lip. The cold of his lip ring steals a bit of your breath away.
“ I missed you, too, ” You breathe, sliding your hands down his chest to curl under the hem of his t-shirt. And then you pull away with a grimace. “But you are incredibly airport-dirty.”
He lifts a brow, pushing the palms of his hands against your bare thighs and under your bathrobe. You shiver, and he scans you with a knowing smile. “And you’re so incredibly clean?”
“Of course I am,” You argue, barely holding out. “Don’t you see my stupid outfit? I’m bed-ready.”
“Bed-ready,” He repeats with a nod and a smile that causes molten heat to pool just under your navel. “Can I make you more bed-ready?”
You roll your eyes, tugging at his shirt and pulling it clean over his head. “That was corny.” Your voice shakes, betraying how nervous he makes you, after all this time.
Suna says nothing, just leaning down and pushing his lips hard against yours.
You really did miss him.
“Take this off,” He says, pulling the knot on your robe free and shoving it off of your shoulders. You shed it without a single ounce of resistance, simply too desperate to be close to him.
The cold air makes you shudder, your old camisole and pajama shorts not nearly enough coverage for the air-conditioned apartment. Suna pulls back, scanning you. And then he sighs, lifting his eyes to the ceiling with a pained smile.
“ This is torture ,” He breathes, and his gaze is heated when he meets your eyes again. “You’re torture.”
“You chose me.” You give him a shallow shrug. “You deal with the consequences.”
He grins easily, backing away to turn the shower on. “With pleasure.” He nods at your clothes before reaching for his belt. “Off.”
With only a bit of hesitation, you pull your cami over your head and toss it on the floor. Suna watches with great attention as you hop off the sink and drop your shorts slowly. When you look back, he’s made no move to undress himself, hands stilled on his belt as his gaze locks on the length of your legs, teeth tugging harshly on his lip ring.
“Distracted?” You tease, stepping free of your clothes and reaching for him. He blinks, swallowing hard as you tug on his belt loops.
“I genuinely can’t remember what I was just doing.”
You giggle to yourself, the clink of his belt echoing in the bathroom as you undo his jeans. “Don’t worry,” You breathe, shivering when his cold hands land on the heated skin of your waist. “I remember enough for both of us.”
His jeans and boxers fall to his ankles, and his head falls back when you wrap your hand very carefully around his cock, already half-hard.
“ Fuck, I missed you,” He groans, head leaned on the wall.
You lean up, pressing your lips to his throat and smiling when a quiet moan falls past his lips.
“ Get in the shower, Rintarou ,” You whisper, stroking him once before stepping away from him.
He shudders and stares up at the ceiling, blinking rapidly to regain his bearings.
“Yes, ma’am,” He mumbles, stepping shakily into the glass booth. You follow after, grinning smugly up at him.
“I think I like when you listen to me.”
He rolls his eyes. “Noted, asshole.”
You giggle together, the moment gentle under the water.
You wash his hair in silence, only sputtering playfully when soap gets in your mouth and laughing into his ear when he drags you close and shoves his shampoo-covered head into your face.
Suna Rintarou makes it as far as combing conditioner through his hair before he stops trying to keep his hands to himself.
You’re scrubbing your body when you feel his fingers dancing across the underside of your breasts.
“Can I help you?” You ask, depositing your loofa back on its hook.
He says nothing, gaze simply tracking the line of soap that falls between your breasts. His eyes flick to yours, green and heated, and it warms something dangerous in you.
He presses you back harshly against the tile, mouth urgent on yours, and you blame the week of distance for how easily you give in to him.
“Rin,” You whisper, relishing the taste of him after so long apart.
He shivers at the way his name rolls off your tongue, pressed against his.
“ Missed you ,” He mumbles, nudging your thighs apart with his knee. You whimper when he wraps his fingers around the back of your leg, lifting it so he can drag it around his hip. He traps you against the wall, rolling his tongue across yours and moaning in time with you when his cock brushes against your folds.
“ Please, Rin, ” You swallow, latching your fingers into his hair and holding him close.
The sigh he breathes into your mouth when the head of his cock slips past your entrance is depraved, desperate. Your eyes roll into the back of your head when he bottoms out, his hips pressed tight against yours.
Quiet envelops you, only your shared, ragged breaths heard under the rush of water. Suna drops his forehead to your shoulder, and you cling to him, fingers tight in his hair.
“ I love you ,” He murmurs against your throat, sucking the air clean from your lungs.
“I love you, too,” You croak, gasping when he pulls away to press his forehead to yours and draws his hips back. He snaps them forward, and your stomach lurches with pleasure. “Oh, my God, Rin-”
“I love you.” He’s relentless, surging his hips against yours and slamming you back against the wall. You barely manage to hold his gaze, every nerve ending in your body drawn to him. “I think I’ve been in love with you an embarrassingly long time.”
You swallow a whimper, digging your nails into his back and watching when he shivers. “I love you, Rintarou. I’m yours.”
“Yeah?” He laughs breathily, eyes searching you. “Promise?”
“‘m not goin’ anywhere, Rin.” Your voice takes on a whiny edge, needy and wanton. “I’ve been yours a long, long time.”
You keep his eyes on yours, your meaning trapped in the sliver of space between your lips.
That you’ve been his longer than he’d realized. Longer than you’d realized.
That the start of this thing between you had never been the start at all, but the end of something that had been building for longer than either of you had thought.
Suna’s eyes drop to your lips as he sucks in a breath, the next drag of his hips drawing a quiet moan out of you, his mouth brushing against yours as he whispers-
“ Move in with me .”
Your eyes fly open, and the laugh that rips from your throat is full of surprise.
“ What? ”
His eyes glint with excitement, and he rails his cock into you, pinning your hips to the wall.
“You heard me.”
You throw your head against the wall, laughing gleefully. “You’re fucking insane, Suna Rintarou.”
“Come on, Y/n-” He grunts when your nails scratch against his scalp, cock twitching inside you. “You basically already live here-”
“That’s different-”
“How?” He pants over you, his breath growing shallow and his pace becoming irregular. “What’s so different?”
“You really want to have this conversation right now-”
He grips your face, squeezing your cheeks between his fingers, and you fall for him that much more.
“I already have you,” He breathes, eyes glazing over briefly when he drives his cock into you. “I have your clothes in my closet-”
You shudder at the force he’s using, the coil in your navel forming urgently and all at once.
“-I have your shit all over my apartment -”
You think of everything you have here – your paperwork on his dining table, your groceries in his fridge – and realize he’s right.
“-I have you in my bed every night, Y/n,” He gasps when you clench around him, your name coming out in a desperate groan. “I want you here. I want you everywhere. I told you.”
“ Rin ,” You cry, pulling him close and burying your face in his neck. “Rin, I-”
“Move in with me. Let’s make it official.” He breathes it into your ear, shaky and vulnerable, and you’re dragged to the very edge of oblivion. His hands slide up your spine, drawing you up into him as he whispers against your skin.
“ Come for me, baby .”
Oblivion feels a lot like Suna Rintarou.
When you finally come down, minutes later, the shower’s starting to run cold. Suna’s forehead rests against yours, breath mingling in ragged gasps in the space between you. You realize when his shoulders sag with relief that he’d come soon after you had, warm and familiar inside you.
You reach up, cupping his face and bringing him in for a kiss. He smiles against you.
“ Is that a yes? ” He murmurs into your mouth, breathing out a laugh when you nip at his lip ring.
Suna Rintarou has always made everything so easy.
“I suppose it is,” You beam up at him. “I guess I can start using my old rent money to buy more lingerie.”
His smile feels like home.
“Oh, yes,” He nods, reaching back blindly to shut the water off. “Yes, I think I like this idea.”
“Wait-” You laugh, letting him drag you out of the shower. “We’re not done showering-”
He hoists you up with little issue, carrying you down the hall to the bedroom.
“We’re gonna need another one in a few hours, anyway.”
It becomes quite apparent over the course of the night that Suna likes the lingerie you picked out for him very much .
–
A week later, you and Osamu close the shop for the entire day in order to set up for Haru’s party. The boy in question tries very hard to help with the organization, but you lock him out just as he’s arriving. He stands at the door like a creep while the two of you and Mayuri run around putting up streamers and decorating tables.
Finally, it’s Osamu who has the bright idea to send Mayuri out there with him.
“Just keep him busy, I’m beggin’ here,” The twin says, ushering the girl out the back entrance so that Haru doesn’t try to elbow his way in through the front. She flushes, and you’re quick to meet Osamu’s eyes, the two of you nothing more than a couple of nosy aunties at heart.
You watch as Mayuri appears behind Haru and awkwardly beckons him out to the street, but it’s Haru’s nervous blush that has you and Osamu scheming about how to get them to admit their feelings almost an hour after they’re gone.
“We could always just lock them in the storage room,” He suggests eventually, and you laugh while unloading bottles of champagne at a table by the window.
“I’m pretty sure that’s considered employer harassment, Samu.”
“Damn.” He shakes his head. “These labor laws are gonna keep them from their happy ending, I swear.”
You cackle, moving to the storage room to find the boxes of champagne flutes he’d ordered. “We should leave them be. They’ll figure it out in their own time.”
“ Ew- ” He calls from the other side of the wall. “ What have you done with my scheming Y/n?”
“She found love and companionship?” You try, digging through packages absentmindedly.
“ Ew! ”
“Now, now, Samu – be nice or I’ll tell Y/n all of the disgusting, lovesick things you’ve ever said about Yachi. ”
You perk up, Suna’s voice drawing you in like a moth to a flame.
He’s standing at the front door, fending off Osamu’s attack of streamer rolls and party cups.
“Rin,” You breathe, flushing warmly.
He winks, immediately hit in the side of the head by a rolled up tablecloth. Osamu laughs, reaching for more projectiles while evading the swing Suna’s aimed at him.
“What are you even doing here? Don’t you have a job?”
“I took the afternoon off to help you fucks set up for the party, but instead I find myself being attacked-” He catches Osamu around the neck, and the two almost knock over a few tables on their way to the ground.
You type out a quick text before moving to stack champagne flutes calmly on the other side of the room.
[1:35 PM]
You : our boyfriends are brawling in the store and ruining all the decor
Hitoka : on it
It’s mere moments before the bell above the door is jingling, a tiny blonde there with one hand on her hip and a fiery look in her eye.
“Miya Osamu.”
Osamu rolls off of Suna with the speed of a former athlete, standing at attention. “Hi, babe.” He smiles breathlessly, reaching up to fix his clothes and hair.
Yachi smiles dangerously back at him. “Are you letting Y/n do all the work for the party?”
He swallows, shaking his head. Suna stands lazily behind him, snickering.
“ Someone’s obedient. ”
You call out from the table without turning back, a smile tugging at your lips as you stack flutes. “Rintarou-”
He’s at your side in an instant. “Hello, my sweet, lovely, perfect girlfriend. How can I help?”
You hand him a pack of tablecloths without a single word, and he rushes off to work. Yachi has Osamu doing the same on the other side of the shop, and you join her at the door with a side hug.
“Thanks for the backup,” You shoot her a stage-whisper, and she giggles back.
“I like being in charge of tall men. They’re afraid of us.”
The boys each groan in despair but continue to decorate nonetheless.
–
The shop is ready a few hours later, catered food set out along the wall and the cafe tables converted into standing cocktail tables. You and Osamu man your individual bars, thankful for the bartending elective you’d taken together in college.
The Black Jackals all pile through the door together, bringing with them some of their own friends. Their manager and coach come, too, smiling at the tasteful MSBY merchandise hanging around the shop.
Under yours and Osamu’s constant updates, Mayuri ensures she and Haru are the last through the door, everyone cheering and clapping for the new MSBY hire as he blushes a deep scarlet. Mayuri starts to move away from him so that the floor is all his, but Haru’s quick to latch onto her hand, dragging her back to him with a shy flick of his eyes to hers.
You meet Osamu’s eyes across the room, and he just nods in approval. Suna materializes behind the bar with you, one hand on your waist.
“He’s really growing up.”
You smile at the pair, watching Haru pull Mayuri around the room with him while he greets people. You remember the day he interviewed for you, freshly 18 and a nervous bounce in his knee. He’s not all that different now. “He’s still a kid, though, don’t you think?”
“Aren’t we all?”
You hum fondly, attention caught by the flash of orange that’s bounding up to the bar.
“Hey, Heartbreaker,” Hinata says, smiling sweetly down at you and leaning across the counter for a hug.
“Shou,” You greet him, squeezing him before pulling back. “Want something to drink?”
“Well,” He laughs. “I was going to ask for a cocktail, but I think I’ll just pour myself some champagne over there.” He gestures back toward the table you’d set up earlier. You blink, confused, and the ginger is glancing with amusement over your shoulder.
You look back, finding Suna leaning conspicuously against the wall and scrolling on his phone. He glances suspiciously at you and then at Hinata, clearly trying not to seem like a possessive boyfriend.
You laugh, rolling your eyes and turning back to your friend. “He’s a grown man, Shou – I promise he’ll be fine.” You take his order and get to making his drink, Hinata walking up and down the bar with you to make conversation.
“Are you upset that we’re stealing Haru from you?”
“Why? You got another part-timer I can hire?”
“Well, uh – I do know someone moving here soon to finish up school.” His flush is bright like his hair, and it gives you pause.
“ Who ?” You ask, a smile tugging at your lips knowingly.
Hinata rolls his eyes. “You know who. There’s a team that wants him, but the coach wants him to get his degree first.”
You furrow a brow. “I’ve never heard of that happening before.”
He nods, taking the drink from you with a smile. “It’s rare, but it happens sometimes. He’s not too happy about it, but…”
“But…” Your smile is back. “I’m guessing his choice of school had a little something to do with one of the current Black Jackals?”
Hinata sips nervously from his drink. “Somethin’ like that.”
You nod, wiping down the bar with feigned disinterest. “And I’m guessing he wouldn’t mind a part-time job across from their home gym?”
The ginger swallows, staring down into his cup as he murmurs again. “ Somethin’ like that .”
You beam at him. “Send him our application.”
He wanders off not long after that, mumbling ‘ Later, Heartbreaker ’ as he goes.
Suna’s at your side instantly. “What was that about?”
You nudge him, leaning up to plant a kiss on his cheek. “That, my sweet, jealous boy-” You grin when he scowls. “-was about Kageyama Tobio.”
Realization dawns on him, and he breathes out a sigh. “Oh.”
“Yeah,” You laugh. “ Oh . Dumbass.”
He flushes in that way you love so much and gestures across the room to where the twins are bickering at the other bar. “I feel that I am suddenly needed in that general area…”
“Oh, I’m sure,” You laugh, full of endearment as you watch him go.
Your moment of peace lasts about three minutes, interrupted by a flushed, excited Haru.
“Hey, Boss!” He beams at you, only a little shy when you level him with a fond smile.
“Hi, Haru. Enjoying the party?” Your eyes flick to the death grip he still has on Mayuri, their fingers interlocked now. He doesn’t notice, but she does, her ears burning a bright red. You just smile knowingly and turn back to the oblivious boy between you.
“This is completely insane, Boss – The entire team is here! The manager and coach, too! And a bunch of random people who keep saying hi to me!”
You laugh brightly, making them both a cocktail of your choice and watching as they sip at it with enjoyment. “Welcome to the inner circle, Haru.” You cut a glance to the girl at his side. “You know, everyone gets a plus-one…”
Mayuri warms, and Haru sees it now, but only because she’s starting to slip her hand out of his shyly. He turns to her, holding tight and bringing her back.
“You heard her,” He says, looking Mayuri straight in the eye. She stares up at him, caught off guard, and you turn away, giving them a moment while you wipe some clean glasses dry.
When you turn back, they’re gone again, hands clasped more naturally between them. You shake your head, grinning to yourself while you wash a few more dishes.
“That was pretty sweet of you.”
You glance up at the voice, finding an unfamiliar man on the other end of it. He smiles down at you, handsome in a classy way.
“Aw, it’s nothing,” You smile, waving him off. “They’ve been dancing around each other a while – driving me and my co-owner insane.”
The man laughs, picking up the makeshift cocktail menus you and Osamu had created for the event. He scans it, humming. “Can I get…” He laughs. “Isn’t it supposed to be called a ‘ Sex on the Beach ’?”
You grin, grabbing bottles for the shop’s spinoff – Sex on the Boardwalk – with very little explanation.
“That one was Atsumu’s idea, unfortunately. It’s got about three more types of alcohol than usual.”
The guy nods understandingly. “I’ve only talked to him a few times, but that seems about right.”
“How’d you meet him?”
“Oh, I’m a friend of Bokuto’s,” He says, shrugging. “He saw me struggling at the gym and decided to take me under his wing.”
You glance at the mountain that is Bokuto Koutarou and nod simply. “I would expect nothing less of him.” You see the look he’s giving you, one of intrigue, so you explain. “I grew up with Atsumu and his brother – my co-owner.”
He hums, thanking you as you slide the drink to him. He winces on the first sip. “That’s painful.”
You point at the glass. “Finish that and you won’t remember having sex on a boardwalk, either.”
His laugh is full, warm.
It’s only when he meets your eyes that you realize there’s an odd glint in them. One you’re not used to seeing so genuinely from someone who’s not Suna.
“So, uh…” He starts, taking another sip. “I hope it’s not too forward, but I was wondering-”
Oh.
“-ou’re single…? Or…”
You blink, surprised. “Oh.”
He blinks back. “Oh?”
“Oh-” You laugh. “Sorry, shit. You caught me off guard. I wasn’t expecting that.”
You’re not sure if you should be laughing at the irony of Suna not hovering behind you for the singular time that he really should be, or if you should be cursing Bokuto for continuing to invite random people to these events.
The guy smiles in disbelief. “I’m sure you get it all the time.”
You stare. “Not… really, no?”
“Really?” He furrows a brow. “You’re beautiful.”
You smile, warm. “Thank you, that’s really kind of you.”
He hears the meaning in what you don’t say – that you don’t flirt back. “Ah, I see-”
“Yeah, that’s-” You look across the room to Suna, finding that he’s already watching you. His eyes are dark, and you realize belatedly that it had taken too long for you to notice this man’s advances.
You give him a look that you hope conveys your innocence and continue to point him out. “That’s my boyfriend right there.”
He follows your gaze, and you watch the glower Suna’s giving you pass over to this poor, unsuspecting man.
“Oh-” He says, laughing nervously. “Damn. I was kinda hoping it wasn’t the scariest guy in the room.”
“Tough luck on that one,” You grin sheepishly. “Maybe if you finish that drink, you won’t remember this moment.”
He throws back half of the drink good-naturedly and then joins your laughter. “Well, please excuse any overstep I might have made. And please tell him not to beat me up.”
“You’re fine,” You wave him off. “It was good to meet you.”
“You, too,” He smiles politely, and then he nods carefully at Suna, who’s starting to make his way over. “He’s a real lucky guy.”
You warm. “I’ll be sure to let him know.”
Suna’s in the newly emptied spot before you’re done speaking, his eyes burning holes into the man’s back.
“Hi, my sweet, jealous boy.”
Suna’s eyes are sharp when they find yours.
“Was that also about Kageyama Tobio?”
You throw your head back, laughing, and lean toward him with a grin.
“Would you believe me if I said I had absolutely no idea he was flirting until it was too late?”
He watches you for a moment before sighing, dropping his head with a groan.
“Yes, of course I would. I already knew that.”
You beam up at him. “He said you were a very lucky man, Suna Rintarou.”
His eyes glint with something wicked when he looks at you. “Yeah? Want me to show him how lucky?”
You roll your eyes, leaning away to make him a drink, and Suna watches you for a moment.
“He wasn’t rude or anything, right?”
You glance at him with lifted brows. “Not at all, why?”
“Just checking.” He looks away, and you see him meeting Atsumu and Osamu’s eyes across the room. He nods once, and the twins relax, each returning to their respective partners.
You watch with amazement. “Have you three always been that way?”
“You don’t notice much, do you?”
You suppose you don’t.
–
The next day, you linger outside Suna’s shop nervously, holding a bag of Thai food. You tug nervously at the hem of your dress, adjusting it over and over again while you stand there.
Suna had bought it for you while on his trip – a deep green thing that’s silky and snug against your body. It complements his eyes, the color. And, although this is technically your first date with him, this dress is not for the date between the two of you. There’s another one tonight, the triple date organized with all your friends.
Still, you want to look good for Suna on your first date. You want him to think you’re pretty in the dress that he bought you. But as you stand there in it, staring at yourself in the reflection of the window, you still can’t decide if you love how it looks on you – because it’s objectively beautiful and suits you well – or if you hate how it looks, because it’s something you’ve never had the confidence to wear before.
You shift back and forth a few more times, staring at your reflection and tugging at the silk. After a moment, your phone buzzes in your clutch.
[12:54 PM]
Sunarin : you gonna keep standing out there, scaredycat?
Sunarin : or are you gonna let me see you properly
You look at the window in a panic, seeing through it for the first time and realizing that Suna’s perched on the edge of the reception desk, watching you with a fond smile. You swallow, storing your phone away and approaching the shop. You push through the door, the jingle of the bell echoing in the silence around you.
Suna had closed out the shop, giving his artists a paid day off on the condition that they’ll stay far away from the place the whole day. As you walk in, you realize why.
He’d cut all the overhead lights, bathing the room in darkness, and had lit just a few candles around his own station. There’s a table near the client’s chair, two glasses set up next to a chilled bottle of white wine.
Suna’s still seated on the reception desk, dressed in classy black slacks with a black button down tucked into them, sleeves rolled past his elbows. His tattoos, piercings, and that little bracelet of yours all stand out on his skin.
“Hi,” You breathe, wobbling once in your heels as you make your way to him.
“Hi, beautiful.” His eyes trail down the length of your dress, twinkling with amazement. “You look…”
You smooth out the silk again nervously. “Is it okay?”
“Okay…?” He breathes out a laugh, shaking his head. “You’re the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.”
You warm, holding out the bag of food. “I’m a little scared we’re gonna get food on our clothes.”
He grins, setting it on the desk. “Luckily, you have a boyfriend who thinks of everything.”
“Do I?” You joke, looking around. “Is he here with us?”
Suna just takes your hand, leading you to his office. There are a couple pairs of sweats and some t-shirts on his couch, things that you know he wouldn’t mind getting dirty. You stare down at them, impressed. And then you look down at yourself.
“I won’t lie to you – I’m not sure I’ll be able to get this back on if I take it off right now.”
He just rolls his eyes and helps you undress, hanging the dress carefully behind the door before following suit. You kick off the heels and pull on his spare clothes, careful not to mess up your hair or makeup.
Suna looks at you just as he had when you’d walked in.
“What?” You laugh, eyeing him.
“Nothing,” He starts, shaking his head. “Just wondering how you’re still the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.”
“Oh, shut up,” You roll your eyes with a giddy smile. “Are you gonna tattoo me or not?”
That catches his attention, and he throws his own shirt on haphazardly before dragging you out to his station. You settle in while he grabs the food and brings it back, setting it up and dropping a container of food down into your lap.
“I thought it would be good if you watched me do mine first, so you know what to expect,” He starts, taking a seat and wheeling to his cart of ink and needles. “But that means you’re on lunch duty.”
“Is that right?” You laugh, uncapping the plate in your lap and preparing a spoonful of curry for him. “Better get started then. I’ve got my job down perfectly.” You spoon it into his mouth, but a bit falls to his knee. He just glares up at you while you eye him sheepishly.
“Yeah. Real perfect.”
You laugh, settling in to watch him do what he does every day.
You eat quietly while he lays the stencil of the Inarizaki fox over a blank spot on his inner wrist. It’s a very simple line tattoo – he hadn’t wanted to do anything complicated for your first, so it’s very much just a small sketch of a fox, similar to the one he’d done on that napkin at the convention.
“Shouldn’t take more than an hour each,” He mumbles, peering at the stencil in the reflection of a nearby mirror, making sure it’s lined up where he wants it. “Should also hurt less, since there’s no shading or extended time under the needle.”
You nod, feeding him carefully as he draws his tools out and gets to work.
It’s amazing, watching him get lost in his own art.
He’d always been good at it, always talented. But you’d only really witnessed a handful of times when he would bow his head and refuse to come up for air, too focused on what he’s doing to speak more than a few words. He glances up every few moments, but only to look at the mirror, only to check his own work.
He’s done with his own tattoo in just over 20 minutes.
You stare down at the ink, freshly etched and surrounded by a thin layer of red, the irritation in his skin minimal after years of practice.
“How’s that?” He asks, staring down at it directly and then again in the mirror.
“That’s so cool,” You whisper, leaning toward it. “You just created that from nothing.” When he doesn’t respond, you glance up, finding a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. “You created something that’ll be on your skin forever.”
He smiles down at you, genuine and small. “I s’pose so.” He looks you over, looks at the twinkle in your eye. “Still wanna do this?”
You laugh, nodding. “Of course I do. I want you to create something for me, too.”
He rolls his eyes, cheeks warm, and leans forward to plant a kiss on your head as he stands to clean up. “Let’s finish eating first.”
You watch him wrap his tattoo carefully, a small square of plastic taped meticulously around his wrist. And then he settles back next to you, sighing as you feed him. He reaches for the two wine glasses, pouring small portions.
“Just a little. ‘s not good to drink before getting tattooed.”
You nod, only taking a few sips before setting it down. “Have you wanted to tattoo me a long time?”
He smiles, breathing out a laugh as he eats. “Since college.”
“Really? You never told me.”
He shrugs. “Figured if you wanted one, you’d come to me.”
You smile teasingly. “What if I’d gone to someone else?”
He narrows his eyes at you. “You would never. That’s against the rules.”
You laugh, combing your fingers through his hair.
“I’d never thought about getting one before you brought it up.” You prod carefully at his lip ring and the multitude of ear piercings. “I’ve never thought about getting any of this done.”
“Why?”
“I dunno,” You shrug. “I always thought those were things that would look bad on me. Because they only look good on pretty people.”
He lifts a brow. “Seriously?”
“Well, yeah-” You gesture to him. “-I always had the evidence right next to me.”
“I think you’d look great with piercings,” He argues. “You’d look really hot with a nose piercing.” He straightens and claps his hands. “Let me pierce you.”
You laugh, pushing him away. “Maybe for our second date-” You level him with a stern look when he starts to get excited. “ Maybe , Rintarou.”
“Alright, alright,” He sighs, giving in. And then he looks you over, glancing behind him at the second stencil. “Shall we?”
A shock of nerves runs through you, but you’re more excited than anything else. Excited to have Suna’s art on your body, proud that everyone will see it.
“I’m ready.”
He cleans up lunch while you examine your body, trying to decide where to get it.
“And I can’t get it on my wrist, too?”
“ No ,” He calls from the back. “ It’ll hurt too much. ”
“But you got it on your wrist!”
“ One of us has twenty-two tattoos, my love, and it’s not you. ”
“Hm,” You respond stubbornly, examining other places. “What about here?” You ask when he returns. You point at your left forearm, just under your elbow.
Suna hums, weighing the decision. “I suppose that’s not the worst spot.”
You beam up at him. “I’ve decided.”
“I think it’s me who decided.”
“ We’ve decided.”
Suna just laughs, settling down into the chair with the stencil. “Okay, baby – we decided. Hold out your arm.”
You watch him work, careful and quiet like he’d been with his own. He lays the stencil flat, spreading the little fox drawing over your forearm before pulling away so you can see. You investigate the little purple sketch, loving how it looks on you already.
“Perfect,” You breathe, smiling lovingly down at him. He grins back before turning to his station. He sets up a needle, testing it quickly before turning back to you.
“It’s gonna hurt, so just tell me when you want to take a break, okay? Breaks are completely normal.”
“You didn’t take any breaks,” You argue.
“Do you want to count my tattoos, babe?” He smiles innocently when you scowl at him, and then he bows his head low, eyes serious.
It’s not the worst pain you’ve ever experienced, but you ask for a break after five minutes. You sigh when the buzz of the needle quiets.
“That was pretty good – look how much I got done.”
You stare down at the half-done fox on your arm, seeing that he’d gotten a large portion of the outside drawn. There’s significantly more red skin than he’d had, but you know he’ll just obnoxiously start counting his many tattoos if you point it out.
“Feelin’ alright?” He asks, gauging your pain levels by the pinch of your brows. You nod, staring down at the half-purple fox. That tinge of excitement is back – the one that’s ready to show the world how much of a mark Suna Rintarou has left on your life.
“I’m ready to start again.”
Suna smiles, pressing a kiss to your cheek before bowing his head again.
You end up taking just one more break, ten minutes later, and then – before you realize it – he’s pressing cold plastic against your arm, wrapping the tattoo with care.
“Not so bad, huh?” He asks, taping it down gently. You lift your arm to your face, examining the black ink in your skin.
You beam up at him, overwhelmed by the permanence of it. “It’s so pretty.”
Suna blinks down at you, surprised. “Yeah?”
“Yeah. Will you do more?”
He laughs, nodding. “Of course I will. I’ll do anything you want.”
You pass a finger over the plastic, noting that it doesn’t hurt as much as you thought it would. When you glance up at him again, you take him in properly – this man with his striking piercings and countless tattoos, years of dedication to his work present on his own body.
Present on your body, now, too.
You look him over, suddenly entranced by him.
“Anything?”
He narrows his eyes, looking you over with suspicion. “...Yes?”
You glance toward the shop windows, deciding that they’re simply too close. You stand from the chair, taking him by the hand and leading him to his office.
It’s only when you shut the door that he speaks again.
“Why do I get the feeling that this has nothing to do with the tattoo?”
You walk him to the couch and promptly shove at his chest, watching him fall to the cushion with a light ‘ oof ’.
“It has everything to do with the tattoo.”
And then you drop to your knees in front of him.
Suna’s eyes go wide, and he sits up a bit straighter. “Y/n-”
“Can I thank you? For the tattoo?” You spread your fingers out over his thighs, sliding them carefully toward his hips.
He swallows, watching the path you take. “Would this be a really bad time to tell you that this was one of my college fantasies, too…?”
You stop short, staring up at him with parted lips. “Really?”
“I had a very active imagination in college.”
You laugh in disbelief, the sound growing into something much larger as you lean your head on his knee. “You’re insane-”
“Is the moment gone? Have I lost my chance?” He’s clearly joking, but you can hear the slight disappointment in his tone, so you shake your head.
“Never.” You hook your fingers into his waistband. “Now take these off before I lose my nerve.”
“ Yes, ma’am ,” He breathes, lifting his hips. You smile up at him.
“So obedient lately.”
“I’ve always been obedient – you’re just oblivious.” He laughs nervously, but you hear the truth in it once more. That he’d always been beside you, always been yours – just as you’d always been his.
You only get his sweats down to his knees, losing your patience.
Sitting up, you take his cock in your hand, stroking gently while Suna lets his head fall back against the couch.
“ Shit ,” He breathes, laughing quietly. “I’m never gonna get used to this.”
“Good,” You laugh, leaning forward and licking a slow stripe up the shaft. “I like you like this.” You take the head of it into your mouth, sucking carefully. Suna moans loudly, tangling his fingers in your hair and gripping tight at the back of your head.
You bring him close to the edge just like that, taking him slowly to the back of your throat before pulling off, your hands stroking the rest of him with ease. He twitches and groans under you, the muscles in his arm straining as he holds the back of your head. Your name falls from his lips repeatedly, a breathy whisper for some and a needy moan for others.
Finally, he tightens his hold on your hair and pulls you off of him with a shaky groan. You blink up at him, teary-eyed, and give him a noise of confusion. He heaves out a sigh, chest rising and falling rapidly.
“I don’t wanna come in your mouth,” He breathes heavily, eyes screwed shut. “I’ll mess up your makeup.”
You smile fondly up at him, already feeling your mascara smear on your cheeks. “I think it’s a little late for that, baby.”
He peers down at you, a choked laugh in his throat when he sees the state of you. “Still. I don’t wanna make it worse.”
You give him a shy grin, already crafting a better way to do this.
“That’s alright,” You say, rising just long enough to shed your sweats and underwear. He watches your panties slide down your thighs with rapt interest. “I have an idea.”
“Yeah?” He smiles, still distracted. “So do I, suddenly.”
When you clamber into his lap, straddling both sides of his thighs, he groans quietly. His hands find your waist, guiding you carefully to him. He lets his fingers find their way back into your hair, tangled and drawing you in for a kiss as you’re sinking down onto him.
“ Fuck, ” He murmurs into your mouth, rocking his hips back and forth. You shiver at the feeling but put your hand on his shoulder to stop him.
“I got it,” You whisper when he blinks up at you in confusion. It turns to surprise in an instant, and his eyes track your expression.
“You sure?”
You’ve been in this position before, countless times. You’ve occupied his lap more than you’re probably comfortable with, but you’d never once taken control here. You’d always left it in his eager hands, burying your face in his neck and letting him do as he pleased. You’d never been ready to ride him, not really – you’d been worried about too much.
Yet here you are, not a single question lingering in your eyes.
You just smile down at him, nodding as you lift up onto your knees. Suna’s eyelashes flutter when you do.
“Yeah, Rin,” You breathe, sinking back down onto him. A needy whine falls past his lips, his hold on your waist tightening. You beam, overwhelmed with satisfaction that you’re the one to make him like this.
“ I got it .”
Suna Rintarou doesn’t last long like this, you realize.
His hands shake on your skin, fingers dancing from your waist to your thighs and back without reserve. His eyes are locked tight on yours, lips parted as broken moans build in his throat. His chest heaves with every drop of your thighs back onto his, and your name pushes from his mouth into yours with every desperate kiss.
“ Y/n, I’m -” He breathes after only a few minutes, fingertips digging into your thighs. “ I’m gonna -”
You drop your mouth to his throat, sucking lightly and panting a response into his ear.
“ Thank you for the tattoo, Rin. ”
Suna’s groan echoes off the walls of his office, arms curled tight around you as his back arches up into yours. You feel him twitch and spill into you, and you follow soon after, whining into the crook of his neck as the world goes white.
His fingers are combing gently through your hair and his mouth is pressing careful kisses into your skin when you come back to him.
“ Hi, beautiful ,” He murmurs against your shoulder, and you lift your head slowly to look down at him.
“Was that okay?” You ask, breathless. He just grins back, eyes crinkling with amusement.
“That was-” He shakes his head, digging the heels of his hands into his eyes while he laughs. “That was the most intense orgasm of my entire life.”
“Really?” You giggle, shifting slightly on top of him and smiling when he tenses.
“I don’t even think I have words to describe what that was like.”
“Good,” You say, leaning down to kiss him. But his hands tighten around you when you move to lean away.
“What time is it?” He asks.
You furrow a brow, straining to glance at the clock on the wall. “3:30.”
“And what time is dinner?”
You turn to look at him with suspicion. “6. Why ?”
He just shoots you a wicked grin. “No reason.”
He’s climbing between your legs before you can even realize he’d flipped you onto your back.
–
When you arrive at the restaurant a few hours later – an upscale spot that Atsumu and Sakusa frequent – your reapplied makeup is still setting and your skin is still warm from making extensive use of Suna’s office couch.
He leads you by the waist into the restaurant, holding you close while the hostess leads you to a private room in the back. Both twins and their partners are already there, making your arrival of 6:03 PM so much more suspicious than it should.
“First date went well, I take it?” Atsumu asks immediately, and you take the seat next to him with a subtle glare.
“I have no idea what you mean.”
“I think he’s talking about your tattoos!” Yachi exclaims, pointing with wonder to the plastic wrapped around both of your arms.
You breathe a laugh, nodding and showing the art to Osamu and Sakusa. Atsumu just sips at his wine, mumbling under his breath.
“Your skin’s glowing, babe. New bronzer?”
You nudge him hard, smiling shyly when Suna catches your eye across the table. He’s talking quietly with Osamu, pointing at different items on the menu, but his eyes stay on yours.
You look away, smiling to yourself, and find both Sakusa and Atsumu staring at you with knowing eyes.
“Oh, shut up,” You grumble, flipping pages in the menu.
The dinner passes with no more mention of it, the six of you enjoying good food and good wine while you talk about upcoming games and different life events.
“So, uhm-” Suna clears his throat finally, tapping a finger almost nervously on the side of his glass. “I have a slight announcement.”
You blink at him, confused. He hadn’t mentioned making any announcements to you.
Atsumu claps obnoxiously. “You’re proposing!”
Your stomach flips dangerously, and you meet Suna’s eyes across the table.
He laughs, shaking his head. “Not yet.”
Your nerves flutter at the implication.
“And when I do propose,” He argues, pointing between Atsumu and his brother. “It’ll be nowhere near the two of you.”
Osamu gives him an irritating wink while Atsumu whines about trustworthiness, but they both sober quickly when Suna clears his throat again.
“Well, we talked about this already- you and me-” He meets your eyes before letting them fall again to his lap. “But I thought it’d be good to uh…”
He reaches into his pocket, extracting a small box. You know now not to expect a ring box – though the thought of eventually getting one makes your heart swell with love – but you don’t expect it to be a flat, rectangular thing.
He passes it across the table to you, and you take it with slightly trembling fingers.
“We talked about…” You have a feeling you know what this is now, but the weight of the moment makes it almost feel like more than it had before. It feels real, like there’s no room for doubt or concern left anywhere in what you have with him.
Here, at a table full of all your closest friends – at a table with the twins, who had been with you since the very beginning – Suna Rintarou makes it official.
There’s a key inside, attached to a key ring with a charm in the shape of a cup of coffee.
You meet Suna’s eyes, your own prickling slightly with tears.
Yachi smacks Osamu on the shoulder a few times. “Oh, I love this-”
Atsumu leans back toward Sakusa, whispering annoyingly. “ You’re next, fucker. ”
“Rin,” You say, smiling brightly at him. He sighs in relief, rubbing at his brow.
“Is that a yes?”
You laugh. “I already said yes last time.”
“I know but,” He laughs sheepishly to himself. “That wasn’t exactly, uh… a clear-headed agreement.”
You laugh loudly, Osamu’s noise of disgust and Atsumu’s cheerful ‘ Woo! ’ echoing through the room. Yachi comes around the table to tackle you in a tight hug, and Sakusa pours drinks for the group to celebrate.
These people here now – celebrating this milestone of your relationship with Suna Rintarou – are the same who help carry your boxes through the door of his apartment two months from now. The same who stand at your wedding, two years from now (Atsumu stubbornly in a bridesmaid’s dress and Osamu just beside Suna – brothers chosen, not born). The same who bicker quietly outside your hospital room, not too many years after that – Sakusa just inside, crying softly into his sleeve as he stares down at a baby boy named Kiyoomi, a baby boy that has positively no clue he’s about to be raised by six of the most unruly humans to ever meet.
By two parents who, once upon a time, were nothing more than a boy and a girl walking silently to school together.
