Summary
Born to a family of swindlers, Miya Atsumu spends his days picking pockets, conning nobles, and lifting precious gems. But after a series of his mistakes cost the family good money, he finds himself eager to prove he's still worth his seat at the table.
Opportunity strikes when his father returns from the Sakusa estate with a scheme to steal their fortune from right under their noses, a scheme that requires Atsumu's charm and expertise at its head.
The job should be simple: befriend Sakusa Kiyoomi, take his key to the safe, and steal the jewels within.
But Sakusa's not what Atsumu expects, and the closer they get, the harder it becomes to follow through with the plan.

Summary
“So yeah, I guess ya ain’t wrong. I did choose the easy route.” Sakusa is about to protest, but he can’t take back what he said with so much drive only a moment ago. “But maybe let me have somethin’ easy for once, yeah? Let me have a break, won’t ya?” The smile slips off his face. “Ya arrogant piece of shit.”
“I wasn’t—“
“I’m tired as shit tonight so let’s leave it here, but just some friendly advice Sakusa,” He finishes his beer as he stands up, Sakusa blinking up at him, looking so small and sheepish now. “Don’t let our paths cross again, yeah? If Bo invites ya around again and ya see me,” He shakes his head, purses his lips. “don’t come and say hi. Stay on yer real difficult road, with yer fancy car and designer shirt, and don’t come anywhere near my stupid easy route. That clear?”
He raises an eyebrow and Sakusa nods after a beat, rosy lips parted.
Atsumu offers him a wink, “Attaboy.”
or an AU where Atsumu fights for money but falls in love for free, and Kiyoomi Sakusa swears he's not gay
