Because Atsumu annoying as f
I think it might not be love but actually admiration. I think Atsumu is just looking up to Azusa because even after he became a target he stood his ground and didn’t change his character.
Yes! He is the definition of ethereal. He's beautiful, despite being a man. Not only that but his strength is beautiful. I often headcanon that Karino wants to own him so badly, knowing Azusa won't give in for anyone.
Dude is totally infatuated with Azusa! He might think of him as a close friend, even considering the craziness of the context and Azusa's catty behavior, but I think he also likes him sexually.
True. I also see it a lot whenever he stares at Azusa's body. It's so obvious that he has a sexual thing for him.
Is it just me but I really do think Atsumu has a thing for Azusa that even Kuze would not be able to compete with. At first, I thought it was simply being overwhelmed by friendship but the recent chapters made me see a real attraction in Atsumu's eyes whenever he sees him. I know Azusa naturally attracts people (duh he's gorgeous) but I don't think people really talk about this much.
