Before becoming a pro, Ushijima Wakatoshi had another good thing going for him.
Uta Iriye was someone with a habit of talking from morning until night, a person with a kind and sweet disposition. It must have been a surprise to everyone how the two...

"It really took you a while to realize that you two were actually friends," Yamagata commented as the rest chimed into laughter.
The alumni saw Ushijima staring at the bracelet on his wrist, he still wore it after all this time. Even if they didn't speak anymore, it held a precious past that meant the world to him.
"So how is your son doing?" Tendou asked.
"My son?" Ushijima was shocked for a moment.
"Ushijima-san you have a SON?" Goshiki was shocked as well.
"No! I mean Shouta. How is Shouta?" Tendou corrected himself quickly before Wakatoshi became anymore confused.
He is still as dense as ever, everyone thought.
"He is not my son," he raised an eyebrow.
"Didn't you basically adopt him?" Semi asked.
"I am his legal guardian," Ushijima corrected.
"That's the...same thing?" Ohira added.
Ushijima just made a confused face, so they decided not to argue on the matter. He ended up answering anyway, "he's going to Shiratorizawa."
"Oh wow, is he good at volleyball? And how old is he now, I forget?" Semi asked.
He nodded, "just turned 15 last month. He's an excellent player. He's a candidate for Japan's National youth team."
He talks about him like he really is his son, everyone pondered on the thought again.
They were quite surprised to hear that, but it must mean that he had become really good since their previous captain was not one to sugarcoat things in any way, shape, or form. He had been helping him with his training after all, it was no wonder Shouta got to the same level.
"So does he live with you in Tokyo right now?" Shirabu asked.
Ushijima nodded, "he's almost through with middle school. I told him there were good schools in Tokyo, but he insisted on Shiratorizawa, so we'll be apart for some time."
"Aww doesn't that just break your heart," Tendou leaned his head towards Ushijima dramatically.
"No. I will be seeing him every other week," he responded.
"It's funny how deciding to go with Iriye that one day led to all of this," Semi placed his elbow on the table and leaned his face into his hand, "Shouta is a great kid."
