YOU HAD ENTERED the supermarket and went to the snack isle. you wanted to get everyone snacks for getting far.
you got a small box of variety chips so they could choose their own. you began to wander down the isle and got chiyo and yourself a snack too.
finally walking out of the store you made your way to the school. thankfully, the kids who were participating got to skip class until the final tryouts were over. that only meant you had to wake up even earlier than usual.
chiyo wouldn't come until later so you were left to set the gym up alone.
your began to set the snacks out on a bench. they'd get them even if they don't make it on the team. when you finished setting their options out, you dragged in the cart of volleyballs.
you got your clipboard ready, and now you were left to wait for everyone to arrive. while waiting you saw a pair peaking through the gym.
slowly walking to the door, you saw it was the akaashis. keiji was dressed in a suit and tie and chiyo was in shorts and a shirt. you raised your eyebrow at keiji.
you "akaashi? why're you so dressed up today?"
keiko answered for her father since she saw he was blushing the tiniest bit.
keiko "daddy has to go to stupid work after this! he's leaving me!"
keiji "keiko i'm still staying to watch you try out before i leave for work, you have school after anyways."
you softly laughed at the two before interrupting them.
you "well you guys can come into the gym. there's around 15 minutes until people will start arriving."
you opened the gym door wider for the pair to walk in, but keiji stayed outside after keiko walked in. he looked like he had something to say.
keiji was a nervous wreck. he was going to ask for your number for two reasons.
1. he wanted to talk to you privately 2. he hated using the house phone, he wanted your number instead so he would be able to answer your call in bed.
he tapped your shoulder softly making you look him in his eyes.
keiji "can i have your number [last name]-san? i don't like being called from my house phone."
you stared at the male infront of you blankly. you wanted to say yes, but would it be appropriate?
despite your thoughts, you nodded.
you "give me your phone akaashi-san."
you smiled warmly at the man as he slowly handed you his phone. you typed your number into his phone and took a picture of yourself for your profile.
the man was lost for words. he expected you to decline his offer, but he was thankful you accepted.
you handed his phone back to him while he held a small smile on his face. bringing him into the gym with his daughter you continued waiting.
on the inside you were freaking out. you couldn't believe you accepted. you didn't even stumble on your words while talking to him.
as more pairs flooded the gym you finally started tryouts. parents waited on the bleachers just like yesterday while you told the children what to do.
akaashi watched as his daughter set the ball to another player. she set the ball greatly enough for her to spike it. the net was shorter than a normal net because these young girls couldn't hit over of 7 foot net.
he silently thanked his daughter again for saying she wanted to be a setter. he could teach her as many tricks as he remembered from highschool.
he saw his daughter clap while looking at you. he wondered why she was so attached to you after meeting you one time. she hardly knew you and she was looking at you for praise.
he wondered if it had something to do with her mother, she hasn't ever really had a mother figure due to her mother going out all of the time. he tried his best to keep her happy.
or maybe she thought you were a good fit for keiji.
he kept wondering while his daughter clapped for her new friend.
