So I just found out that someone loved "Stick With You" enough to render it into an actual book so it could sit on their shelf forever! Thank you

for showing me this, the cover you designed is so pretty! (P.S. this is NOT for commercial purposes)

It's less troublesome to say yes to all of it, so that's what he does.
Holding hands with Miya Atsumu was never part of the plan, though. Nor was kissing on his doorway after dinner. He thinks maybe he's utter shit at planning,
"Miya, please, not now. I'm so tired."
And Atsumu shuts right up. Even more surprising, Atsumu carefully asks, "Do you want some water?"
He glares at Atsumu suspiciously, wary about the change in attitude. But he is, in fact, thirsty. "I'm not drinking from your bottle."
"Not from my bottle," Atsumu assures, and presents an unopened plastic bottle of water. He takes it. He was brought up with manners, so he mutters a dignified, "Thank you."
Atsumu blinks at him.
cool and considerate!"
Now, 'nice' is not in Kiyoomi's vocabulary, and he fails to see how 'cool' and 'considerate' could be in Atsumu's. But one afternooon after a game, Atsumu nags him about a failed set, his accent grating on his ears, and in his exhaustion, Kiyoomi says,
Eventually, though, Atsumu relaxes.
I think I'm getting the hand of this 'nice' thing, Kiyoomi thinks idly as he rubs his cheek on Atsumu's shoulder while they sit together on the bus. He thinks it's also nice when Atsumu ruffles his hair.
and he should just stop with his attempts at scheming.
"You're so cute," Atsumu tells him as they cuddle on the couch during team movie night. Atsumu pinches his cheek, to everyone's horror.
"Shut up," he hisses.
He doesn't think about the conversation until he's tucked into his blankets in bed that night. The moment repeats itself in his mind, Hinata's words bouncing around like a pinball.
politely asks him to make food for him, too.
Atsumu looks at him like he's grown another head, but slowly nods. "Okay...Omi-Omi, are you alright?"
He tries to smile, which only seems to alarm Atsumu. The setter edges away.
"Um...I'll make you food, just — sit over there. Far away from me."
Kiyoomi frowns and sits by the dining table. It's just him and Atsumu for now, and the silence makes him reconsider this whole thing. But Atsumu does serve him food, and the meal is actually good, even though

But for some reason, Atsumu starts being so present all the time. He hovers around Kiyoomi whenever they're not on the court, asking if he's hungry, or thirsty, or bored, if he wants to watch a movie with him or check out that new coffee shop they'd passed by once.
Just ask him nicely, huh? If that's what it takes to bring him peace of mind, he's willing to do it. Imagining many different ways of murdering Atsumu can get so exhausting.

He tried to wrap his mind around it. He thought of the missing pieces in Atsumu's stories, the holes he never filled. If they’d kept it secret all these years...yes, this made sense.
Perfect sense.
Sakusa was the missing piece. Now that he was here, they were both whole.
this is totally insane but thank you so much for 10k kudos on stick with you 😵💫 to this day it’s still the most fun i had writing a fic — happy to know so many enjoyed reading it too!!
he wasn’t surprised. He kept his eyes on Sakusa, who had stiffened up, expression blanking.
Later that night, he went to the kitchen for some water, and saw a figure sitting on the couch.
It was Sakusa and his cheeks were stained with tears.
“How long have you been standing there?”
“Just for a few minutes!" Inunaki protested. "We just got here! And you were — we were having a crisis here, okay! What the hell!”
“It’s fine guys,” Atsumu finally said, sitting up. “We’re engaged.”
And Meian fainted.

“I feel like I gave them most of me anyway. Because there’s barely anything left of me, now. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. I’m damaged goods. I’m no good for anyone like this.”
Heart aching, Meian studied Atsumu, who suddenly seemed so readable in the moonlight.
“That’s not true,” he said. “Whoever loves you next, I’m sure they’ll still feel lucky.”
Atsumu smiled at him. Meian gripped the kid’s shoulder reassuringly before standing up.
As he walked back in, he thought he heard him say, “But there’s only one person I want to love me.”
Meian knew something was strange about Miya Atsumu.
He was talkative, but while he could easily carry a conversation all by himself, he seemed to always manage to leave out the important bits.
There always seemed to be one missing key piece. His life just seemed...incomplete.
So...someone alerted me that stick with you is in wattpad now. I don’t have an account in wattpad so if you see my work there please let me know! For now I’m trying to see what I could do about this 😓
Things shifted when Hinata Shouyou signed up for the team.
Hinata was a beam of sunlight that blinded everyone in his path, so he should have known that Atsumu wouldn’t be immune.
When Atsumu asked out Hinata in the locker room after practice one day,
Sakusa was alone in a corner, nursing a drink. Curious, Meian slunk closer to study their newest teammate, who had his eyes fixed on something.
Or rather someone.
He followed his gaze and blinked when his eyes landed on none other than Miya Atsumu.
Oh, he thought. Oh.
Stupid.
“There was someone. Before. I loved them, but sometimes love just isn’t enough. I wasn’t enough. But,” Atsumu faltered. He blinked rapidly and swallowed.
When Atsumu told him about the person he loved, he never could have imagined it was a six or seven-year relationship that began in high school. He never could have imagined it was Sakusa Kiyoomi, who’d been right under their noses the entire time.
“You got it all wrong. Omi-Omi and I have been together for seven years. Since first year high school,” Atsumu said.
“Technically six," Sakusa said. "We broke up."
There was someone before, Miya had told him that night on his front steps.
Feeling like the shittiest captain on the planet, Meian quietly retraced his steps and returned to his room.
Sakusa certainly would not accept anyone seeing him vulnerable and hurt.
Especially not if the cause was Miya Atsumu. He'd probably rather die.
And then the two men who were the subject of their quiet horror stirred from their sleep. Sakusa slung a bare leg over Atsumu's hip, thankfully covering his crotch — dear god — and the other man gripped his thigh and hitched it up higher.
It looked...intimate. Familiar.
He blanched. “Please, god, no.”
“‘Cause I can’t miss that!” Atsumu started hurrying away. “I need to take videos this time!”
He palmed his face. Why were they like this?
But he’d averted a crisis, for now.
When he looked back at the corner, Sakusa was gone.
understand...what it’s like to love someone so much that they become a part of you forever. Some things you can’t erase, you know? They say nothing is permanent but...I think some things are. In my experience anyway.”
“So you…”
Before he could think about it, he strode over and gripped Atsumu's shoulder, nearly ripping him away.
"Atsumu-kun. I can’t find Bokuto. You know how he can be when he’s drunk."
“Ah, shit,” Atsumu said, looking alarmed. “Do you think he’s running around outside naked again?”
Sakusa Kiyoomi.
Coach Samson Foster was over the moon. To have successfully signed Sakusa Kiyoomi, who hailed all the way from Tokyo...this was promising. This was amazing.
It was strange, though. Sakusa clearly knew Bokuto, and while they didn’t seem particularly close,
And then it hit him.
“Inunaki! I know what he needs.”
“What?” Inunaki looked at him in confusion.
“A girlfriend! Or a boyfriend.” He frowned. “He’s bi, right? And single?”
Inunaki stared at him. “What in the world are you up to now?”
Introducing our writer lineup! Whether they're fluffy or filthy, these fics are sure to feed your SakuAtsu craving. We hope you're as excited as we are!
“Think about it,” he said eagerly. “He’s handsome, he’s talented, he’s famous — he should have everything, but he doesn’t, because something’s missing. I figured it out — it’s love!”
“How’d you get to this conclusion…”
they didn’t yell at each other or anything, but the tension was off the charts sometimes. They snapped at each other and tossed harsh words at each other, but the worst was probably when they were silent. It was heavy. It scared even Bokuto.
“Worrying about my love life. I know you invited all those people for me.”
“I just thought maybe you’re lonely.”
Atsumu rested his wrists on his knees. “I am. Doesn’t mean I want to be with someone.”
This sounded like a serious conversation. He sat down beside him. “Why not?”
He watched as Atsumu gave Sakusa the perfect set which the latter spiked with ease. They had good chemistry on the court — unmatched, even.
Did they just not like each other? He supposed each team had to have those members that just couldn't get along.
It was weird though —
The tension, the heavy glances, the fighting — this explained all of it. It was a crush. Pulling pigtails, and all that.
Feeling a surge of excitement, Meian quickly started rearranging his plans. This makes everything easier.
“I really, really liked you...still like you, actually, but I think maybe you don’t? Like me?”
“Of course I like you, Shouyou-kun —”
“Eh...it just doesn’t feel...I dunno! I’m not good at this! I just feel like maybe it would be a bad idea if we push it.”
“I understand.”
“Is this one of those whirlwind romances, because if so, then I’m telling you it’s going to crash and burn,” Meian sternly told them later.
Atsumu laughed like that was the funniest thing he’s ever heard and even Sakusa cracked a smile.
Like they’d done this before.
He was going to faint.
“Oh my god,” he whispered. “It’s not going away.”
His voice broke the spell and jerked Atsumu and Sakusa into action. In a second, they were covered with a blanket and Sakusa was snapping,
It started with Sakusa losing his temper with Atsumu while they were stuck together on a lift of all things. He’d thought they'd get along because Atsumu had been guiding Sakusa across the snow — there was even touching. But it ended with Sakusa storming back to their cabin.
There were no dead bodies. No, what they encountered was so much worse — there were naked bodies, splayed on the floor next to the fireplace, tangled up in blankets.
They all gasped and froze.
“Oh my god,” Meian said faintly. “What is going on.”
“Meian, you set me up!” Atsumu whined.
“What in the world happened?” he asked.
“Well — I seem to have offended her —”
Inunaki guffawed. “Somehow, I’m not surprised.
“You should have told me it was a blind date,” Atsumu insisted.
“Then it wouldn’t be blind,” Barnes said.
