[name] sits up slightly. "oh, the trashcan showdown?" 

"yeah, that's what he calls it. i dont know why you keep up with that stuff, it sounds like nonsense to me." aika waves some chopsticks around for emphasis.

"i quite enjoy it, actually. if i could play sports, then i would, but i'm just not built for it." [name] sighs slightly. "i'm better at just focusing on my education."

"eh, that's one way to put it. but i wouldn't get so depressed about it! your'e good at a bunch of other stuff, just cause you cant play volleyball for grandpa doesn't mean he isn't proud of you."

she turns back to the food.

"i guess you're right."

the room goes quiet, apart from the soft sounds of aika's cooking, and his mothers pen scratching on the paper.

"i'm just gonna go and get some homework done. let me know when the food is ready." 

his chair scrapes across the floor awkwardly as he stands up.

"will do!" 

－－－

the house is silent but the atmosphere is comfortable. everyone is focusing on something. 

[name] stares at his homework. 

he's smart enough to do it, he knows that. but does he want to?

its not due tomorrow, so he could leave it till last minute, or on the way to school. 

now that he thinks about it, it might be easier to do it now. last time he tried to do it in the morning he just got yelled at by aika, for being 'irresponsible' and 'unorganized'. 

honestly, what a hypocritical little shit.

 while he's thinking, he hears the front door click open.

perfect timing.

he exits his room, and heads down the stairs. 

"grandpa! you're later than you said you would be. do you want me to take those bags to the kitchen?"

his grandpa turns to see [name] smiling widely.

"it wouldn't hurt to have some help now and then."

[name] steps off of the final step and reaches for the bag that his grandpa had placed by him. 

"hey! you actually made it in time today!" aika serves up the dishes that have been laying on the counter. 

"i did try. i wanted to make it so i could try some of your cooking, so i asked the other coach if he would take over for me." he takes a seat at the table, next to [name] and aika's mother. 

"honestly, yua, you should take some time away from your job. you work too hard sometimes."

yua sighs. 

"i wish i could dad, but things are hard right now. for me at least."

"see! this is why i keep telling you, you should make [name] get a job!" 

"get one yourself! you don't do any clubs, so you have the time to do it." 

"you don't do any clubs either!"

both adults visibly sigh.

"please, [name], aika, just stop arguing for ten seconds!"

"oh, sorry." 

aika glares at [name] and then places a plate by everyone, except him. 

"can i have my tonkatsu please?" 

"get a job, then yo-"

"for fucks sake," [name] mutters to himself , "aika, please, just give me my food."

he stands up to try and take the plate from aika, but she moves away and raises the plate.

[name] sweatdrops.

"aika, please give [name] his food. this is a discussion for another day, and we're all hungry." yua stares at her daughter.

"okay fine, whatever." aika pouts and hands the food to [name].

"itadakimasu." [name] mumbles.

"so, how was school? did you do anything good today?"

"i can almost guarantee you that aika did absolutely nothing."

"shut up [name], i did stuff!"

"like what? please, elaborate."

"imma stop you right there, i dont know what that means."

"but, you're literally a third year." 

"whatever! doesn't matter in the end really, stupid word like ee-lab-or-eight. "

"point made." [name] goes back to eating the food.

after eating in silence a little, [name] puts his chopsticks down.

"so grandpa, anything cool happen at practice?"

"i think we have a really strong lineup at the moment. karasuno doesn't know what's coming for them!" he smiles widely at his grandson. 

"speaking of karasuno," he continues, "we're actually co-managing a training camp with fukurodani. we have five teams coming three of which are actually from miyagi. that's a lot of people, so we need some extra help. i was wondering if you and your sister would come a long to help us, its relatively close, so you guys can go home when the teams stay at the dormitories."

"dormitories? where actually is this?"

"we rented a space that has a large gym, and sleeping head quarters! it was lucky that we booked it when we did, its a popular place for training camps."

"it does sound pretty cool. is it for volleyball?"

"what else would it be for?"

[name] pauses for a second.

"sure, i'll go. when is it?" 

"in the holidays, so everyone can make it. but as you probably know, their close, so it should be in about three to four weeks."

"i mean, its not like i want to spend the day listening to aika go on about hot boys and cute girls to her friends. and it might be nice to get out a bit."

aika flushes red in embarrassment. 

"hey, that was uncalled for! dont have to expose me for everything."

"so! [name] is coming! aika, what are you going to do?"

"you know what? i'll go."

"wait grandpa i changed my mind."

"shut up [name]!"

"i'm joking, i'm going whether you like it or not. i mean, how bad can it actually be?"
