atsumu has the habit of peeling all his shrimps before eating and it's a habit he's had since childhood.

when kiyoomi brings atsumu to a seafood restaurant, he gets surprised when atsumu doesn't start eating and peels every single shrimp.

"why aren't you eating?"

"oh, I'm just like this omi-kun! don't mind me and eat."

"we're on a date, miya. i'd rather talk to my date than have him peeling shrimps the entire time."

"oh sorry. slipped my mind." atsumu apologizes.

"well, i should've known better and ask them peeled right now."

"don't ya bother! that's such a waste of time. i can handle it." atsumu shrugs him off.

"you've been peeling one shrimp for atleast two minutes oh god." kiyoomi rolls his eyes. "at this rate, you'll end up spending more time with the shrimp."

atsumu silently murmurs an apology.

but kiyoomi thinks atsumu shouldn't be apologizing at all. people have habits and it just so happened kiyoomi wasn't aware of atsumu's.

"give me your shrimps." kiyoomi asks him.

"but they're mine!"

"i'm not going to steal them, im gonna peel them for you jerk."

oh.

/oh/.

atsumu shyly transfers the unpeeled shrimps to kiyoomi's plate. "is this really okay, omi-kun? aren't ya supposed to be eating your meal?"

"no. it's fine. i'd rather wait to eat with you." he says nonchalantly as he peels them expertly with a fork and a knife.

atsumu swoons.

he knows kiyoomi isn't the most perfect human being in the world, but that act of kindness made his heart flutter and he found himself falling more for kiyoomi.

"i like you, omi-kun." he suddenly blurts out.

"yeah. me too." kiyoomi responds in a heartbeat.

atsumu just gives him the biggest smile he got as the response. he went home that night with his stomach full of shrimps (which his now-boyfriend) peeled for him and his hands holding bigger ones, clumsily enveloping them in heat. he's happy. they're both happy.

I'm currently eating shrimp and this is inspired by myself and I made it sakuatsu. I should go back to eating now.
