A FEW WEEKS LATER..
keiji had taken you out on around three dates in total. you guys got to know eachother plenty and saw eachother almost every day at keiko's practices.
you guys hadn't had your first game yet, only practice matches or just practice. you didn't mind nor did the team.
when keiji came home from another date with you, he paid the babysitter and walked to keiko's bedroom.
she was excited to see her dad was back. she only saw him after practice and then he left.
she jumped out of bed and jumped into keiji's arms.
keiko "DADDY!"
keiji held the younger version of him and smiled at her.
keiji "hi princess. how was your babysitter?"
the girl pouted.
keiko "she was rude!"
keiji "how so princess?"
keiko "she didnt give me any candy today! and she gave me no bubbles in my bath."
keiji laughed at how spoiled his daughter was, but he understood her frustration. it became routine to give her candy after dinner and give her extra bubbles in her bath.
keiji "well maybe if you're good she'll be nicer next time."
she nodded sadly while keiji gave her a small piece of melatonin gummies to get her to sleep. they tasted like gummy bears so keiko enjoyed them.
he never gave her more than two, if he allowed her she'd eat the whole container of them.
keiko "thank you daddy!"
keiji "of course keiko."
he placed her in bed and walked to his bedroom. he walked into the steamy shower and washed his body softly. sometimes he'd imagine you doing this for him. your delicate hands rubbing his body with the soap suds.
he'd imagine doing other things with you in his shower as well. things that gave you both pleasure, although he stopped himself from imagining you that way.
it was inappropriate and you weren't his girlfriend, yet. when he finished his warm shower he brushed his teeth. he began to imagine you sitting on his counter, brushing his teeth for him after brushing yours.
he smiled softly at that thought. he wanted to see you when you woke up every morning. his feelings for you were as strong as the rock by now.
he was embarrassed to admit it to even himself, how would he admit it to you?
he sighed and called bokuto. even if bokuto wouldn't know exactly how to help the retired setter, he'd try his best.
his phone ringed as he waited for bokuto to answer his phone.
kōtarō "HEYY KEIJI!!"
keiji laughed at how excited bokuto was.
keiji "hey bokuto-san. i need your help."
as keiji told bokuto this, he got dressed for bed.
kōtarō "whats up 'kasshi!?"
keiji explained his feelings for you to bokuto. they were too complicated for him to figure out. its like he wanted you so bad, but he was worried how keiko would take it.
would she want him to be in another relationship? would she want him dating her coach? would she be happy with you as her 'mother'..
these thoughts flooded his mind. and he told bokuto about it all, bokuto has been in his place before except he didn't have to worry about how a child would take the news.
bokuto listened to keiji's rant and helped him the best he could. he gave keiji the advice keiji gave him a few years back in highschool.
keiji told him to be honest with the girl and to think about how happy they'd be together. if he can imagine them being together, there wouldn't be a lot of damage to be done.
bokuto and the girl ended on great terms a few years ago. she decided to pursue her dreams in america and bokuto supported her 100 percent.
keiji hung up the phone after bidding bokuto goodbye and laid in bed to think about it.
he can imagine you guys happy in the future. he can imagine you and keiko being the happiest.
