[a plain pale blue looking envelope is placed in ukai's mailbox around noon time! inside is a cute looking invitation. on the back of it there's a hand written message that says:

bring your own bathing suit!

you're getting this late because he didn't have any extra invites on him at the welcome party, oops.]

[steadier]

Coach.

Suga's been sent home.

[coachings]

[ Ah, hell. Between Ukai knowing how close Sawamura and Sugawara are, and spending the past week or so sulking about Sensei not staying... ]

no sign of him anywhere?

MASS TEXT ( AFTER BOAT EVENT )

[kablam]

[coachings]

good plan hinata
let me know how many people respond saying they'll be coming.
that way maybe i can bring enough food to make a dent in the number of teenage boy stomachs that will wind up there

it'll be a little weird to be the only adult supervising this time though

whispers ''backdated to the fourth wall event"

[coaxings]

[ having been rescued from the pigs and a little bit muddy, takeda has regained a small amount of his dignity and figured he may as well stick close to the face he actually knows. besides, there's a lot of questions he has to ask, and a lot of things that could easily be answered over a couple of cups of saké at one of the little booths in the fair.

...a couple.

(sensei may be a little tipsy.)

smiling companionably at ukai, he tips his head and rests his chin against his fist, a twinkle of a laugh all over his face. ] So you ended up coaching half of the town?

w h y

[coachings]

[ Ukai is used to going out for drinks with Takeda - with or without the other coaches involved - and so this is just... typical. It's nice, he missed it. He kind of, actually, missed Takeda too. Not having him around has been really goddamn weird, but he's mostly adjusted to it since arriving. There are, at least, familiar faces everywhere.

But there is nothing more familiar than Sensei getting tipsy, and he snorts at him, cheek in his palm as he takes a drink of his sake. ]

Considering how many volleyball teams there are here, and people who play sports in general, it was bound to happen I guess. [ He sniffs, scrunching his nose and looking down into his cup to keep from looking at Takeda.

He doesn't even know why, he just knows that he needs to... not. ]

[voice] [8/18]

[serveivor]

[Sorry dad, you're like #2 on his contacts-who-get-stuff-done list. But #1 in this case because you live here. And all you get for the first half a second is a whimper.]

C-c-coach--

C-could you come back, there are these things a-and they're horrifying

Icantgetridofthemithinkthey'llkillme!

[He sounds like he's going to start crying.]

RIP in pieces Asahi

[coachings]

[ The whimper clues him in on something being wrong, and Ukai pauses so that he can actually catch what Asahi is saying. Well, he was going to work on reading up on baseball, but how can he say no to something so pathetic? ]

Deep breaths, Azumane. I'll be back home in ten minutes. [ Less, maybe. Something wants to kill his glass-hearted son??? ] Whatever it is, just leave it where it is and I'll take care of it.

[ Please don't start crying you gigantic baby. ]

[He sent this to Asahi too. Be prepared to hear horrified screaming in the house. Sorry dad.]

[coachings]

[ He just sort of glanced at the text and rolled his eyes, but hearing Asahi screaming is what has him responding - via shouting in the house. ]

Nishinoya, quit traumatizing Azumane with chainmail!

[Chances taken: zero. THIS COMES AFTER THE HORRIFIED SCREAMING.]

[coachings]

[ Asahi will, of course, hear Ukai telling Nishinoya off for terrorizing him, but. ]

it's fine azumane

[ OTHER DAD, HELP ]

[coachings]

[ Oh my god are all of his crows really this gullible. ]

how many people have you sent it to so far hinata?

text | october 9

[cleverblocker]

hey, i'm hosting a movie night on the 17th at my house for the volleyball club. do i need to ask you to like, chaperone or something?? if not, you can always just come anyways.

will i ever reply to texts on time w/ ukai

[coachings]

[ squints ]

you've got your "parents" so i doubt i really need to chaperone, though i haven't met them yet
so i'll swing by probably
any food requests?

[ He's so used to feeding all his crows, it's second instinct at this point to ask. ]

Backdated to Nov 9th

[floatjumper]

[He sent a chain text to everyone, congrats you're on the Volleyball list!]

If you aren't busy would you want to come over to my place tomorrow?

[coachings]

[ Ukai is weirdly touches that these kids keep including him in things... it's weird... ]

sure thing yamaguchi
you want me to bring anything?

text | backdated to the 9th

[supportingrole]

Yamaguchi didn't want to say, but tomorrow's his birthday, and that's why he's asking people over...

[coachings]

[ That makes Ukai pause a moment. ]

hey, do you or shimizu have everybody's birthdays written up, yachi?

MAILBOX ▹ 12/01

[trashyking]

[pretend this came out earlier, sobbing. but yes ok inside your mailbox will be a golden envelop with a cute looking invitation inside!]

mailbox | 12/25

[merchandised]

[Today, Ukai will find a box full of cute: a pink stuffed cat toy, a pink notebook with a clean and simple heart pattern with matching pen, a pink mug with "#1 Coach" in red cursive, a sampler set of various coffees, and a box of chocolates. There's a note that reads:

Ukai-san ♥

Merry Christmas from your local adorable idol Nico ♥ ♥ ♥ Please enjoy this gift from me and make sure to tell everyone about Nico-chan's generosity!

Love ♥ ♥ ♥

Nico Yazawa

MAILBOX ▹ 12/24

[trashyking]

[on ukai's doorstep will be a little care package. inside will be a shirt that says HBIC, a clipboard, a package of pencils and markers, a tiny bottle of lotion, a pack of gum, a brand new whistle, a couple of headbands, and a tiny little stress reliever ball that looks like a volleyball.

attached to the package will be a note that simply reads: Even though you're not my coach, you're a coach nonetheless. Merry Christmas, T. Oikawa]

12/25

[succours]

[In the living room this day there will be a gift waiting for Ukai! Inside will be a sweater (which me might notice matches Takeda's) along with a card:]

thank you for choosing to be our coach and for being a parent for me and Asahi-san. we wouldn't be able to grow without your assistance

ps i'm sorry about the pranks i did it won't ever happen again

-Nishinoya Yuu

I would say mailbox but it's inside the house; 12/25

[humblest]

[naturally, the kids in the house aren't the only ones who will have presents from takeda on the morning of the 25th-- he's come up with something a little extra special for ukai.

there's a rather nice-looking bottle of whiskey and a card with ukai's name on the envelope laid out for him. the card is festive, if a little generic, but bears a hand-written message on the inside.

enjoy! hopefully not all by yourself.]

b/d to Monday 1/4

[steadier]

[In Coach's mailbox this morning, he'll find a plain white envelope with this invitation inside.

Questions, comments, concerns? Daichi's phone is always on!]

Backdated to 12/25

[floatjumper]

[Inside your mailbox is a small package inside of it is; a shirt, a mug and a new whistle. There's a letter as well.]

Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoy the presents!

-Yamaguchi, Tadashi

[present! backdated to Christmas Eve]

[serveivor]

[Asahi, being the awkward child he is, leaves the gift on Christmas eve with a small note reading:
Merry Christmas!! I hope you like it! Thank you for being there for me so much, I really appreciate everything. --Asahi

He'll receive a cool coffee mug and some shiny new kitchen utensils. Because dad is great.]
