parents
miya atsumu x f!reader
atsumu is determined to defeat the final boss: your parents, armed only with volleyball muscles and wife-guy agenda.
wc: 1.4k, requested
there are many terrifying things in this world. darkness. heights. ghosts. but nothing, absolutely nothing, compares to the looming presence of your parents sitting stiffly across a small dining table like two government officials ready to interrogate a criminal mastermind.
and unfortunately⦠the criminal mastermind tonight is miya atsumu.
heβs wearing his best shirtβwhich is admittedly just a button-up that he ironed three times because osamu told him wrinkles were a βsign oβ weaknessββand he looks like heβs about to either propose or perish. potentially both.
your parents had made it very clear for your Entire Lifeβ’ that boys were a mythical threat, like dragons or bad grades: never let them near you.
so naturally, atsumu is here. determined. unstoppable. a golden retriever with the unwavering confidence of a man who has decided you are the love of his life β¦ and your parents simply do not know it yet.
π΅
you try not to look nervous, even though your entire soul is screaming like a kettle on the stove. meanwhile, atsumu is smiling like this is the best day ever.
βmr. and mrs. l/n,β he says in his thick kansai accent, echoing with way too much enthusiasm for someone under a death ray, βthank ya for havinβ me. yaβve raised the most amazinβ person on this whole planet. iβm honored ta breathe the same air.β
your mother blinks. your father does not blink at all. he stares like heβs trying to unlock atsumuβs brain with laser eyes.
you kick atsumu gently under the table. slow down. breathe.
he beams even brighter, thinking youβre encouraging him.
βyer home is lovely too,β he babbles. βsmells like peaceβ¦ and fabric softener.β
your father clears his throatβone of those intimidating coughs that sound like thunder. βwhatβ¦ are your intentions with our daughter?β
oh no. The Questionβ’.
atsumu doesnβt flinch. not a twitch. he straightens his back, suddenly a man ready to fight every deity ever.
βma intentions?β he repeats. βsimple. i plan ta marry her, give her the happiest life in the whole universe, and treat her better than anybody alive.β
you choke on your own oxygen.
your motherβs hand pauses mid-reach for her teacup. βmarry?β
atsumu, unaware of your soul leaving your body: βyes maβam. already got the whole thing planned in ma headβvenue, vows, honeymoon. oh! and grandkids thatβll be star athletes too, maybe.β
your father blinks once. slow. like a predator.
βarenβt you twoβ¦ in high school?β
atsumu nods wisely. βyep! perfect time ta plan the future when yer brain is still at peak imagination.β
you want to crawl under the table and befriend dust bunnies.
π΅
the dinner proceeds. and to your utter shock⦠atsumu is winning.
like, actually winning.
he eats politely (osamu probably drilled him for hours), compliments every dish like your mother invented food, and listens with wide puppy eyes every time your father talks about his job.
he even laughs at the dad jokes. convincingly. loudly. passionately. as if the jokes cured his seasonal depression.
your parents soften little by little. tiny cracks in their concrete armor.
but then dessert arrives. and dessert is where everything could fall apart. because itβs your favoriteβand atsumu knows that.
when your mother places a plate of cheesecake in front of you, atsumu watches you with the focus of someone studying ancient scripture. his entire expression warms, cheeks burning soft pink.
he looks at you like someone staring at the sun.
like loving you is not a choiceβit is gravity.
your father coughs again. βson, why are you staring?β
atsumu doesnβt even pretend. βsorry sir, sheβs justβ¦ the prettiest sight ma eyes have ever seen. itβs a bit distractinβ, yβknow?β
your heart does a whole gymnastics routine. your parents⦠look away. embarrassed? flustered? confused by this level of devotion?
yes.
success.
π΅
after dinner, your parents move to the living room. βjust a chat,β they say. more like a final review.
you stand behind atsumu, lightly touching his sleeveβa silent iβm here. and for a moment, his shoulders relax. just a moment.
βtell us,β your mother says, βwhat do you like about our child?β
atsumu doesnβt pause. not even a second.
βeverythinβ.β
the word lands with the weight of the world.
he continues, voice softer than youβve ever heard:
βi like the way she laughs like sheβs surprised by happiness. the way she holds her pencil like sheβs signinβ autographs. the way she gets nervous but still tries her hardest. the way she talks ta everyone so kindly. the way she cares for people even when they donβt deserve it.β
he swallows, eyes dropping to his hands.
βi like how she keeps goinβ. even when life tries ta knock her down.β
then he lifts his gazeβsteady, glowing.
βi wanna be part oβ that reason she smiles every day.β
your mother inhales sharply. your father shifts forward, no longer a fortressβmore like a man trying not to cry.
atsumu fidgets once, then blurts:
βand iβ¦ iβd do anythinβ ta protect that smile.β
your breath escapes in a rush. warmth spreads through your chest, too intense, too much, too good. your fingers curl into his shirt without thinking.
your parents look at youβreally lookβand see the way you lean toward him like your entire existence is pulled by a magnetic field named miya atsumu.
your mother sighs. βwell. he certainlyβ¦ loves you.β
atsumuβs cheeks burst into red fireworks. βloveβ?! yeah. yeah, yer right. i do. so much my heart feels like itβs doinβ jump serves.β
your father finally cracks a grin. βif you ever hurt herββ
atsumu jumps in. βsir, if i hurt her, iβll march straight ta jail myself. no need ta call the cops.β
your mother actually laughs. your father chuckles. the world does a cartwheel.
approval. granted.
π΅
later, outside your house under the streetlight glow, you both stand quietly. atsumuβs hands hover awkwardly until you take one first, lacing fingers.
he nearly short-circuits.
βdid ya see that?β he whispers, awe-struck. βthey smiled at me. twice. yer dad even patted ma shoulder! i think weβre basically family now.β
you laugh, leaning closer. βyou did amazing, tsum.β
his face deepens in colorβa full strawberry spectrum. he bites his lip, eyes flickering between your hand in hisβ¦ and your lips.
βuhβ¦ can iβ¦ maybeβmaybe iββ
you roll onto your toes and kiss him first.
itβs soft. warm. gentle enough to melt winter. his breath hitches against your mouth, fingers tightening around yours like heβs anchoring to reality.
when you part, his brain is clearly rebooting. βohhhhβ¦ wowβ¦ ya kissed me like i just won nationals.β
you grin. βyou did. you won against my parents.β
he beams so bright he might power tokyo.
then he suddenly gasps. βwaitβif they're okay with me beinβ yer boyfriend now, does that mean i can visit anytime? likeβ¦ every day? forever?β
your brows lift. βforever?β
his voice is a whisper of absolute devotion:
βmβnever lettinβ ya go. not in this lifetime, not in any.β
your heart flips like it's auditioning for the olympics.
βthat sounds like a plan,β you murmur.
his smile turns dopey. βbest plan i ever made. even better than that time i tried ta invent volleyball pancakes.β
βvolleyball pancakes?β
βdonβt ask. osamu banned me from the kitchen for a month.β
you laugh into his chest, and he wraps his arms around you like he was built to hold you.
and right thereβunder the stars, with a boy who ironed his shirt three times because he wanted your parents to like himβyou realize something:
love doesnβt always arrive quietly.
sometimes it shows up wearing a poorly buttoned shirt, swearing oaths of eternal affection, and smiling at you like youβre the entire world.
π΅
atsumu leans back just enough to look at you, eyes shimmering with that ridiculous, cinematic intensity.
βnext step,β he whispers, βiβm learninβ how ta cook so yer parents love me even more.β
you giggle. βtsum, they already do.β
he shakes his head, dramatic as ever. βnah. iβm gonna make βem adore me so much theyβll start invitinβ me over without ya.β
you pat his chest. βdonβt get ahead of yourself.β
βtoo late,β he says proudly. βi already planned our fifty-year anniversary speech.β
you kiss him again, because what else can you do when someone loves you with the power of a thousand shΕnen protagonists?
and as you walk back inside, hand in hand, you know this:
miya atsumu may not always be smooth.
but he is yours.
and he is perfect.
n: iβm feeling very miserable right now, so sorry everyone π¦§
