The happenings of a wedding night

Part 13

"Hello Keishin", Saeko chirped as she dropped down in the chair next to him with two glasses of what looked suspiciously like vodka because he was sure she wouldn't come over with water.

"The ceremony was really nice", Ukai said as he took one of the glasses from her "who would have thought those two would end up together?"

"Not me", Saeko chuckled "I thought he would live at home forever and never find a girl. I am just joking don't look at me like that. He is a good one I was sure he would find a nice girl. And I am really happy that it turned out to be Kiyoko she is perfect for him".

"I remember him and Noya always swooning after her at volleyball practice", Ukai took a sip from his drink "maybe it was meant to be".

"They are not the only couple meant to be around here", Saeko looked at him judgingly.

"What are you talking about?", Ukai asked although he was afraid he knew the answer already.

"I am talking about how you still haven't got that teacher in your life", Saeko rolled her eyes at him.

"I am still the coach of Karasuno's volleyball team. And he is still the teacher. So technically he is a part of my life", he took a sip of his drink.

"That is not what I meant", Saeko glared at him "you should really get him already before somebody else comes and swoops him away. Terushima is quite the flirt when he is drunk".

"Oh you mean the guy that got his nose broken by Ushijima's hit?", Ukai huffed a laugh "I don't think he is competition for me".

"Oh you think so? Last time I saw him he was making out with the ambulance dude", Saeko shrugged innocently.

"He wasn't", Ukai gasped disbelieving.

"He was!", Saeko put her hand on her heart to show her honesty "I am glad they were still dressed. Well partly anyways".

"Jesus Christ", Ukai shook his head "I am too old for this".

"Oh come on, we are not that old", Saeko laughed "but you will get old alone if you don't go and get your man already".

"He is not my man", Ukai rolled his eyes.

"Not yet", Seako smirked.

"Saeko...", Ukai sighed exhausted.

"Keishin, you go and talk to him now or I will seriously murder you. I will not listen to you telling me tomorrow how good he looked in those pants and how much you love him. I don't want to hear your whining anymore. Do something about it already", Saeko punched his arm.

"But I...", Ukai tried but Saeko's stare made him go quiet.

"I am serious", Saeko said while sliding her pointer finger over her throat.

Ukai exhaled and stood up to go. He turned around again to look at Saeko but she just grinned and shushed him away.

"Hey", Ukai said awkwardly as he sat down next to Takeda.

"Hi", the other man smiled at him warmly and Ukai felt better immediatly. Like he always did as soon as he was in his presence.

"How do you like the wedding and the party?", Ukai scratched the back of his neck.

"The ceremony was wonderful. I am so happy for the two of them", Takeda looked so genuinely happy for his former student that Ukai's chest filled with warmth "and the party is also very nice, don't you think? I feel like a lot of our students are figuring stuff out tonight".

"Yeah, I noticed that as well", Ukai grinned "I saw Azumane and Noya at a table earlier. I think they finally confessed. It was about time".

"Indeed", Takeda smiled "and not only for them".

"Huh?", Ukai looked at him wide eyed.

"Oh I mean Sawamura and Sugawara", Takeda looked at him confused "they still haven't gotten together. I mean I thought they were a couple the moment I met them. That was around six years ago. And they still haven't figured it out".

"Maybe they are just afraid to admit their feelings rather than that they haven't figured it out themselves", Ukai mused.

"I think they are oblivious", Takeda chuckled "poor souls".

"Maybe just one of them though", Ukai mumbled "I know how that feels".

"You do?", Takeda understood him perfectly fine.

"I do actually", Ukai nodded while looking the other deep in his eyes.

"Love is a complicated thing", Takeda spoke in thought "it hurts so bad but makes you feel so good too".

"It really can hurt", Ukai agreed.

"Especially when you love someone that could never love you back", Takeda's smile faltered.

"Why would someone not love you back?", Ukai asked suprised.

"Because he is straight", Takeda smiled at him sadly "look at us. One being in love with a straight man and one being in love with a woman who doesn't notice his love".

"You got that wrong", Ukai spoke up "I am in love with a man who doesn't notice my love".

"Oh. Well that just makes me look  even sadder", Takeda chuckled bitterly "being in love with a gay man that just doesn't want me".

"No, it just makes the man I love even more oblivious", Ukai tried to catch his eyes as he hoped the man would get it.

"Wait...", Takeda looked up at him with surprise in his eyes.

"You were so oblivious to my flirting that I started thinking you just didn't want me", Ukai smiled awkwardly.

"I thought you were straight", Takeda whined.

"Well I am not", Ukai assured him.

"And you like me of all people?", Takeda raised his brows.

"What is that supposed to mean?", Ukai laughed and took his hand "you are the most lovable person on this planet. How could I not fall in love with you?"

"Love?", Takeda stuttered.

"Yeah, I fell in love with your smile and your voice and the way you care about people", Ukai smiled at him "and your butt. Maybe your butt too".

"You have the nicer butt though", Takeda shrugged and then squeezed his hand "I am in love with you too. Not only for your butt of course".

"That's good", Ukai chuckled and pulled him close to kiss him.

"Good boy", Saeko smiled at them from the distance.
