"Haha Ikkei, you have to walk!" Isako laughed at her brother as she sat on Keishin's shoulders.
"If you keep talking like that, you'll be walking too," Yuki sassed back to her daughter.
"Awh," she looked down at Keishin. "Dad, you're not going to let that happen will you?" she asked purposely using her baby voice.
Keishin chuckled nervously under Yuki's stare. "Of course not, princess." Isako grinned, making Yuki rolled her eyes. She leaned over to her husband.
"You know you're putty in her hand, right?"
"She's my little girl, what can I do?" he shrugged. Yuki could not help but smile; the two were almost inseparable; she barely had any time to have Keishin to herself.
"Well, I don't care!" Ikkei finally thought of a comeback, "Because I get to hold Mummy's hand!" He stuck his tongue out at Isako, which she too returned.
It had been five years since the Japan trial. Five years of Yuki being a pro volleyball player. And what a rollercoaster it had been. Yuki never intended to get pregnant - not during her pro career anyway - but once her and Keishin got the news, they could not be happier. They ensured to get married before the twins arrived in January of 2015.
Even though they were not planned, it was the perfect time to get pregnant as even though she missed a few months of training, she ensured to stay in shape. And when they were born, she still had over a year to get back into her volleyball flow to prepare for the 2016 Olympics - which Japan won Gold Medal, and Keishin did in fact, cry.
"Mum, it's Uncle Daichi, Suga and Asahi! Can I go say hi?" Ikkei asked, jumping with excitement. Yuki followed his gaze to see the three men walking towards them.
"Of course." Ikkei grinned before running off towards them.
"I WANT TO GO SAY HI TOO!" Isako wriggled on Keishin's shoulder.
"Alright, alright," he chuckled, lifting her off his shoulders so she too could follow her brother.
Yú was travelling the world, he currently was in Italy somewhere finishing, but he and Yuki never lost their closeness despite how far he was physically. And staying in touch with him meant she stayed in touch with the other boys from the team. And somehow, they became someone she saw often. They were adults now, and she considered them friends rather boys she used to coach - though Keishin was not the most pleased considering he still saw them as kids.
Daichi picked up Ikkei, and Suga picked up Isako. Both the kids grinned, babbling away, talking nonsense as they always did before arguing between themselves.
"Dad said me and Noya use to argue like that, so hopefully they get closer when they're older," Yuki told Keishin as she waved to Daichi, Suga and Asashi.
"I'm sure they will be," Keishin smiled, wrapping his arm around her waist.
Five years together and Keishin still always found a way to hold Yuki close. He never forgot about the accident, and he was sure he never would.
"Can you believe it? After all this time, Hinata and Kageyama finally get to play each other in an official game?" she said.
"Hmh, who do you think is going to win?"
"This sounds the perfect time for a bet; loser makes food tonight?"
Keishin huffed a laugh. "Fine, I'll let you pick first."
