Summary
Nearing the fourth hour of the silent treatment, Kiyoomi’s already frayed nerves began to whittle down to their last fibers.
Today, it was raining. A proper Tokyo monsoon tantrum just shy of a full-blown typhoon that left puddles on sidewalks and fell from an angle so wicked it eluded umbrellas. It was raining and they haven’t spoken in almost four hours.
(In which Sakusa wanders into the minefield that is Atsumu's feelings and tries not to blow things up.)

Summary
Kiyoomi woke up knowing deep in his being that it was a bad day. The persistent dread had lodged inside his head again, an ambient, slow thrumming, its sound serrated and misshapen.
Atsumu could give him quiet. He had almost forgotten what it was like before, when he lived alone.
Yearning was a strange emotion. It wasn't a feeling but the absence of one, like something in his chest was slowly being scooped out.
(Kiyoomi has a series of bad days. Atsumu is away in France.)

Summary
Here’s the thing about bad habits: you can’t really ignore them forever. If you try to, they’ll just end up sneaking up on you at the worst possible moments. So Kiyoomi tries to wrangle his into a semblance of discipline: he promises himself that at the end of the week, he gets to indulge. He lumps in all of his vices into one night of bad decisions, a twisted opposite of going to church on Sundays to atone for your sins. He maintains his good habits all week, and rewards himself with one night of bad ones.
So on these days, he drinks more than he’s supposed to. He eats whatever sugary sweets he wants to. He opens the door for Atsumu when he knocks. But, then again, Atsumu never knocks unless it’s one of those days. If only the drinks and the food offered the same courtesy.
[Or: Kiyoomi makes a habit out of Atsumu and Atsumu wants to make Kiyoomi something much more.]

Summary
“I think I’m in love with you,” Atsumu says, sleepy and lilting, from the aisle to the left.
Kiyoomi says nothing in return, examining the fridge unit full of prepackaged meals before him.
“Omi-kun, didja hear me?”
Kiyoomi glances over at Atsumu. Atsumu isn’t looking at him; he’s holding two spicy ramen packages up to his face, squinting at the ingredients lists because he refuses to bring his glasses anywhere public.
“I was hoping you were talking to the ramen,” Kiyoomi says.

Summary
“... What do you want?”
“How do I get more followers than Samu?”
This wakes Kiyoomi up enough to kick Atsumu’s shin. Atsumu hisses, but at least he has the decency to leave the room as Suna asks, “Are you asking for my help?”
Or, this is how Atsumu and Suna set on a journey to combine Suna’s tech-savvy nature and socmed prowess with Atsumu’s self-embarrassment powers to beat Osamu - as told by Sakusa Kiyoomi.
