YOU DIALED HIS HOUSE NUMBER when you heard shuffling and what sounded like a little girl who you thought was keiko in the back ground.
keiji "hello?"
when you heard his tired voice you guessed he was taking a nap.
you "i'm sorry for interrupting your sleep akaashi. i called to inform you about keiko being in the final fifteen tomorrow."
keiji smiled brightly at keiko. he was very proud of her for doing her best yesterday.
keiji "ah. thank you [last name]. keiko and i will be there at the same time today."
while you were wondering how he had recognized your voice within a few hours, he was waiting to tell keiko about the great news.
you "of course! goodnight akaashi."
you hung up the phone before he got to reply. saying goodnight probably wasn't the best thing to say for a school call.
either way, you continued to call parents after parents.
akaashi walked into the spacious livingroom where keiko was drawing on one of his work papers.
thankfully, it was old. otherwise he would've been screwed the next day. he was going to tell her that she made it into the final fifteen.
when keiko saw her daddy she ran up to him and gave him a big hug, causing the older male to chuckle. he hugged her back and carried her on his hip.
keiji "guess what princess keiko!"
the younger akaashi tilted her head at her father.
keiko "what happened daddy!?"
she shared the same smile as her father. when he was excited, she was even more excited.
keiji "you made it into the final fifteen tomorrow"
she was even more happy and started to squeak at the small cat that sat on keikos drawing.
keiko "YAYYY!"
keiji set her down before calling bokuto. he already knew she tried out for volleyball because keiji was so excited.
keiko "does that mean we see miss [first name] again daddy?!"
keiji nodded. keiko had never asked him to see a woman again before..
keiji "do you like miss [last name] keiko?"
she happily nodded her head, shaking her pig-tails.
keiko "she's very nice! she's like a volleyball princess daddy!"
keiji was surprised that keiko liked you. he wouldn't mind seeing you everyday, or even a few times a week.
if you make keiko happy after seeing you for the first time, you can make him happy.
keiji "well if you do your best tomorrow you'll see her almost every day."
keiko nodded her head harshly.
keiko "i'm going to be the bestest setter out there daddy! just watch!"
keiji just laughed at his daughter. he assumed she had been around bokuto too much.
keiji "you better be keiko."
finally finishing all of the calls, you had walked into your car. you were exhausted. little girls had a lot of energy and you had to match it every time.
chiyo had went home an hour prior. she had to take care of something at home, which was a lie. you knew it was but she's a granny (not literally) so she needed her sleep.
you started to drive home while the watching the lights of the city. it was beautiful, it looked like it could've been a firefly show.
couples were together on the benches, and kids were happy with their families. you want a family of your own before you grew old. you faintly heard the radio in your car, lowly humming to the songs.
your mind wandered to the akaashis again. specifically keiji. he was so kind and the way you locked eyes in the gym made him even more attractive.
you knew you couldn't have him though, you were possibly his daughters coach and it'd be weird to mix work with a relationship.
he probably had a girlfriend anyways, she was lucky.
