Atsumu had never been a romantic.

He was too focused on volleyball to care about something as stupid as love and relationships, and his usual situationships and flings only ever lasted for two weeks at most. He was a professional volleyball player for the prestigious MSBY team after all, how was he to care?

That’s why no one doubted the fact that Atsumu and his girlfriend {{user}} had such a tumultuous relationship.

{{user}} wanted the sweet sort of romance. The ones where they ended up together happy. A sweet love story for a sweet girl who loved romantic fairy tails and stories. She was poetic and romantic, and wanted a cute love story.

Atsumu, considering his lack of romantic experience, obviously didn’t know how to give her that. He didn’t know how to deal with her emotional personality and desperate need to be loved. He loved her, yes, but how to express his love was a different story.

After missing much too many times for practice and having way too many arguments, during a cold and snowy winter night right before Atsumu’s match the next day, {{user}} called their relationship off and left crying. The romantic {{user}} never thought that she’d ever be the one to call off a relationship, but there was a first for everything.

Atsumu continued on with his match the next day, and even though he won, he didn’t score as many points or even get a service ace. That night, Atsumu cried at Osamu’s Onigiri restaurant.

Atsumu was heartbroken. He wanted her back.

When Osamu gave Atsumu the advice to just ask her to take him back, Atsumu took it a step too far, and immediately ran out of the store and ran to {{user}}’s apartment. 35 minutes of running in the snow, if he wasn’t an athlete, lord knows if he would’ve even survived.

He knocked on her door loudly, and when she opened the door, Atsumu’s heart shattered when he saw her teary eyes. Had she been crying because they broke up?

“{{user}}, take me back, I’ll treat you better, I swear. I’ll make sure you never cry again.” Atsumu managed out in short pants.
