━Chapter eighteen━
KAZUYA INVITATION

Shimizu house hold door bell rings, Mrs.Shimizu opens the door and shocked to see no one until someone called her to look down politely. It was a small boy with a blonde hair looking up to her.

"Oh my, are you lost?" She asked him crouching down to his height.

Kazuya shakes his head, "No, is this Shimizu Kiyoko-neesan's house?" He asked the woman.

Mrs.Shimizu nods, "Let me call her, Kiyoko there's a child looking for you!" The mother calls her daughter entering the house.

"A child?" Kiyoko questioned, standing up from the couch and went to the front door. It was indeed a kid but it was none other than her Coach's son.

"Kazuya-kun what are you doing here?" Kiyoko asked the child.

Kazuya opens his bag and pull out a piece of paper and handing to her with both hands, "Here you go."

"Thank you, what's this?" Kiyoko reads the paper.

You are invited to my birthday party

Location= Sakonoshita store, on Saturday.

The paper is filled with drawings and stickers that she can tell that Kazuya was the one who made this letter.

"Kiyoko-nee is invited to my birthday, Kazu-kun is turning two" Kazuya said holding two fingers to her, he practiced saying those sentences with his mother two days before sending away the invitation.

"Waaah, thank you for inviting me Kazuya-kun. You're growing up" Kiyoko said with her gentle smile "Did you come here by yourself?"

Kazuya shakes his head and points outside, "I told Dada to wait there, Kazu-kun is a big boy!" Kazuya told her with his cheeks puffed out.

It's true Keishin is waiting outside of Kiyoko's house on a bike waiting for his son talking to volleyball manager.

"Kiyoko-nee, Kazu-kun must go and give more card to others" Kazuya stated.

"I see, well then thank you for invite Kazuya-kun." Kiyoko says watching Kazuya bowed to her and waved bye to her and running back to his dad in hurried manner.

Kiyoko closed the door and head to kitchen.

"Who was that child Kiyoko?" Her mother asked her.

"That was the Coach's son, he invited me to his birthday party" Kiyoko replied to her mother.

"My how adorable, how old is he?" She ask.

"He's turning two this Saturday." Kiyoko showed her the invitation giggling at the drawing and stickers.

"Sho-chan there's someone's looking for you!"

Shoyo who was previously training his volleyball ran to the front door thinking it might be Kageyama asking yo train together.

"Eh Kazuya-kun?" Shoyo mumbled.

The muscle around Kazuya eyes tightened, his cheek grows slight red. He quickly hands Shoyo the invitation card.

"Sho-nii here's your invite."

Shoyo takes the card and reads, "Eh Saturday is your birthday" He didn't expected that he will got invited.

"Yeah, you have to come or I'll bring Tarou!" Kazuya threatened.

"Tarou?" Shoyo questioned.

Not knowing who's Tarou.

"Tarou is my guardian! He'll bite you like a shark," Kazuya show him his teeth.

Shoyo (who doesn't know Tarou) shivers, thinking Tarou is a gangster or maybe Kazuya's uncle.

"Nii-chan who's that?" Natsu asked clutching her brother's shorts approaching the little boy.

"Hi!" Kazuya greeted.

"Hello!" Natsu says back.

"I'm, I'm Kazuya! You can come to my birthday if you want to" Kazuya plays with his fingers.

"Okay! I'm Natsu!"

"Well bye" Kazuya ran away, he started to feel shy when Natsu starting to come closer to him.

Kazuya run to Keishin who's still on the bike, he raised his arms to him to be picked up.

"Alright let's go home, Your mom should be home by now" Keishin said lifting his son up and strap him to the kid's bicycle seat.

Everytime there's a down hill Keishin and Kazuya would scream in delight, feeling their stomach drop. Arriving back home Kazuya squeal clapping his hands looking back to Keishin and the bicycle "Again, again!"

"Maybe later okay Kazuya, it's my turn to watch over the shop" Keishin said carrying his son to the store. "Boo" Kazuya pouts.

"Yeah keep saying boo, your mom will be very tired if we go ride the bicycle again." Keishin say softly tapping Kazuya's little nose. "Your baby sister will be tired too."

"Akachan?" Kazuya spoke, as Keishin opens the store door open with a nod.

"Oh hey you're back," A soft voice spoke, Yukiko walks out from the cashier table stand infront of the boys that she loves "Kazu-chan did you send a lot of letters today Kazuya?" Kazuya hummed with a grin.

Keishin lost words at the sight of his wife new appearance, half of her upper hair is now dyed dark brown it could be mistaken as black, she puts her hair on a messy hair bun.

Yukiko tilts her head at her husband for being silent, "What do you think my hair Kei-chan?" She smiles.

Keishin reach his hand to the strand of her hair and tucks it back behind her ear and slides his hand to her cheek with a passionate smile "You look beautiful." Just with those words Yukiko feels like she's back to her highschool self, the feeling of a girl with her first love.

"Mamma, Kazu-kun hungry!" Kazuya says with one hand on his tummy.

"Oh Kazu-chan is hungry okay, Kei-chan it's your turn I'll take care of Kazu-chan."

"Can I get a kiss?"

"What? Come on Keishin."

"Come on just a peck," Keishin says leaning down to her face with a hopeful face. He closed his eyes when he see Yukiko close her eyes and leans closer to his face.

He waited for a pair of lips touching his but suddenly his eyes went open when his nose was pulled slightly.

"You have to work first" Yukiko laughs going inside the house with Kazuya laughing at his dad shocked face.

"That woman, my woman such a tease you are Yukiko." Keishin remarked with a smirk and went to put on his apron to start his shift humming his favourite song.
