It's a really messy breakup
Takeda's an emotional wreck and Ukai does that stoic cut-off thing but he's dying inside
They still see each other at school and it's so hurtful that after a couple weeks Takeda tells Ukai he's taken a teaching position in another city
What should I get my mother for mother's day
And that's it
Takeda's gone from his life and Ukai's left in this horrible crushing state of limbo where he just goes through the motions
His family's not dumb
They knew something was up with him and that teacher
His mother especially wishes she could have gotten to know him for her son's sake
But there's nothing she can do about it now
She just wishes her son would confide in her, but understands it's a tricky situation
Eh, I'm making them a little younger
Ukai's 26 in the manga, right
And Takeda's 28
OR SHOULD I MAKE THEM OLDER
Older, more rugged Ukai
A la Harrison Ford
HMMMM
Whatever, Ukai's 32 when Takeda dumps him and he ends up not dating anyone else
Throws himself into coaching and working at the store and farm
He has flings here and there whenever he travels outside the prefecture
But he's not looking for anything permanent
Maybe I should get her an accessory for her Kitchen Aid mixer
He gets an invitation to Karasuno's 10 year reunion for the very first year he coached
And thinks it wouldn't be so bad seeing those kids again
He's kept tabs on a few
Kags and Hinata doing the pro circuit
Noya too
He knows Daichi's coaching college and just got married last summer
Asahi's a teacher at Karasuno now
But the others he doesn't know what's up
He decides to go and play catch-up with at least Asahi
Asahi's always good for a drink
The open bar doesn't hurt
Anyhoo, the date of the reunion arrives and Ukai's surprised at how many of his kids have showed up
And damn, they're not kids anymore AT ALL
(I think Japanese high school reunions are all grades???)
ANYWAY
Daichi's there with his pretty new wife, looking all dadly
downmoon
DADLY
this is so wonderful
Flenser
Tanaka managed to get himself a girlfriend too, but you wouldn't know it by the way he and Noya are all over each other with the bro hugs and backslaps and yelling and general Tanaka/Noya insanity
Daichi looks torn between fond reminiscing and sliding back into captain mode
At least his wife finds their antics humorous
And Tanaka's GF is used to it, so she hits the bar
Tsukki didn't make it
Yama informs them he's busy scaring the pants off people at the studio
He managed to become a sought-after music producer
Yama's a salaryman in the next city over
Weirdly, no one knows what Suga's been up to
Daichi's heard from him in spurts every now and then, but nothing steady, and nothing recent
The last he heard from him was when he was in law school
So they know he's probably some type of lawyer
Kiyoko too
They were roomies in college
But Tanaka's heard from Kiyoko's mother that she should be there, so maybe Suga too
Everyone expresses dismay that Take-chan's not there
Ukai's a little quiet about that
It's been a couple years since Takeda tore his heart out and set it on fire with a flame thrower, but Ukai never thinks about that NO SIR
He tells them he's teaching at another school a couple hours away and likely couldn't get away considering graduation's looming
And that's it
Everyone's a little quietly uncomfortable, because they're not dumb either and theorized among themselves the exact nature of Ukai's relationship with Take-chan
I forgot about Kags and Hinata
They're off playing volleyball on opposing teams
The rivalry remains strong
It will never die
Let's make Yachi Tanaka's GF
That's fun
Sweet little Yachi dealing with Tanaka's shit
Yessssss
downmoon
omgggg
Flenser
ISN'T IT THE CUTEST
Like, they didn't date until after Yachi went off to college
Tanaka never went
He took a job as a mechanic or something
And Yachi's getting her oil changed and they laugh about dumb stuff and
Being a grown up tempered Tanaka a little bit but not too much, and now that Yachi's been out in the world a little she's better equipped to deal with him
They'd make a funny couple
It helps that when Tanaka falls for a girl she's his entire world
He treats Yachi very well
ANYWAY
So Yachi's at the bar getting a juice or something, because fuck drinking around these fools
And they all hear
KIYOKO
And there's Suga too
downmoon
AUUGGHH
Flenser
Kiyoko's as placid as ever but really chic and lovely
Smiles a lot more
She's taking Yachi's hilarious enthusiasm in stride
Suga looks exactly the same
His hair's a little longer, like he hasn't had time to cut it
And he has a little more color to his skin
Yachi drags them both over to the group and everyone's all loud and welcoming and HOW THE HELL ARE YA
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING
KIYOKO YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED
SUGA YOU DOG YOU BAGGED THE PRETTIEST GIRL IN SCHOOL
Daichi's the only one who knows Suga's gayer than springtime
Ukai's struck dumb a little
Suga was always a pretty boy and he knew he'd go far, but damn
A lawyer AND Kiyoko
Once Suga gets a chance to speak he informs them no, he and Kiyoko are only partners at their pro bono firm
MY HOUSE CLOSES ON THE 15TH
downmoon
AHHH
Flenser
AAAAHHHHHHHHHH
Suga's a human rights lawyer and often travels to third world countries to advise young governments and help out where he can
Kiyoko doesn't travel as often as he does, and mainly works out of Geneva
They're home now for a summit and the timing worked out to be able to visit everyone
Everyone's in awe
Neither Suga nor Kiyoko make a lot of money, but they're helping out wherever they can
Tanaka and Yachi are practically in tears at their selflessness
Jesus fuck, they're meant for each other
Suga just came back from Argentina or something, hence the shaggy hair and tan
There was an awful rape case he finally closed, and he's glad it's over
Now he needs a drink
Ukai does, I mean
downmoon
remember that totally cute thing tanaka does to noya, where he rests his chin on top of noya's head
he totally does that to yachi
Flenser
EEEEEEEEEE
Okay, so Ukai's at the bar getting a beer and Suga comes up beside him to say hello
Asks how he's been and says he's sorry about Takeda
Ukai's surprised, but Suga explains he and Takeda used to talk every now and then
He was going through some shit back in undergrad and Takeda gave him good advice
Ukai does the math, and anyway he always suspected little Suga was a dark horse
Half the team was a little in love with him whether they knew it or not
Ukai kind of blows it off
He doesn't really want to talk about it
Asks Suga if he's been locked down yet, but no, Suga's too busy and married to his job to be married to anyone else
There was someone, about a year ago, but that fell apart like every other relationship he's had
Long distance is a bitch
Suga orders a gin & tonic
He likes old man drinks
Ukai's genuinely surprised no one's willing to put up with Suga's hectic life
The boy's a damn catch
Suga's like, well what about you
Ukai's father died the year before, leaving him everything
Ukai's quite the eligible bachelor
Ukai ain't got time for that
It's hard enough keeping up with the kids he coaches and their stupid gossipy love lives
He doesn't need his own
He won't admit it, but he doesn't have it in him to get back out into the dating pool
Suga agrees it's tough out there for their demographic
He's found it a little easier in other countries
Oh ho, Suga you minx
International heartbreaker~
The rest of the guys find them and pull them away
Suga enthusiastically talks to Daichi's wife about her growing belly
Yachi's talking Kiyoko's ear off
She's a little buzzed from the one melonball she drank
Tanaka, Noya and Asahi are reliving Karasuno glory days
Well, more like Tanaka and Noya are, and Asahi just fondly listens
Ukai's trying to listen to Yamaguchi go on about Tsukki, but he keeps stealing glances at Suga
Somehow that boy just got even better looking
If he were an honest man he'd admit he'd looked at Suga back when he was a third year, but that's a little too creepy, even for him
The night wears on, and Daichi has to get his wife back to his parents or she's gonna pass out
Yachi's asleep on Tanaka's shoulder, and Tanaka has THE BIGGEST grin on his face
He loves it when she relies on him
Asahi has to proctor exams the next day, so he checked out earlier
They all promise to meet up again the next day tho
Toss a ball around and eat bad food at Ukai's store
Ukai doesn't get to talk to Suga again that night except to say he'll see him tomorrow
Suga agrees
His eyes have that mischievous twinkle, tho
(later on at the hotel Kiyoko asks Suga if he's going to fuck the coach...Suga pretends to be offended, but Kiyoko knows how hot Suga was for Ukai back in high school, but Ukai was off limits...how lucky for Suga that he isn't off limits now)
Kiyoko just tells him not to do it in the hotel room
She's sure Ukai has a perfectly good bed
Suga is AGHAST
But not really
downmoon
SUGAWARA KOUSHI
Flenser
He didn't really come there with designs to bed his old coach, but he noticed how Ukai kept looking at him all night
It's been a while since anyone paid attention to him, so he might as well take advantage of it
What do I want for lunch
Normally I do a tuna sammich with cottage cheese or a salad
Thinking about taking a drive to Taco Bell
Suga gets his hair cut the next day
A little shorter than how he kept it in high school, but reminiscent
downmoon
go to taco bell
cinco de seis
Flenser
Mmmmm
He just didn't have time to get it done before they traveled for the reunion, so he was due
He finally grew to be comfortable in his own skin in undergrad
So he twinks the fuck out for this bbq at Ukai's
Tiny shorts, tank top
He's on vacation and can be as gay as he wants
Kiyoko's all for it
She loves take-charge Suga
She was witness to his many failures before he pulled it together and doesn't ever want to see him like that again
It's a crazy hot day
Just on the cusp of summer
He and Kiyoko bring ice cream to the bbq
Ukai's all slobby hot in ripped jeans and a muscle shirt
downmoon
oh my goooooooooooooooooooooooood
Flenser
He collected a few tats along the way
Stopped bleaching his hair
It's still got a mind of its own, tho, so the headband remains
Started working out to fill the time after Takeda left so now his arms and shoulders are just glorious
You know, for an old dude
Everyone's a little surprised that demure little Suga rolls up looking like a loli-boy fantasy
Tanaka roars with laughter
THAT'S OUR SUGA
LADYKILLER
downmoon
AHAHAHA
Flenser
Daichi tries very hard to not grin like a fool
UKAI MEANWHILE
POOR UKAI
Suga's a walking wet dream and Ukai's pretty sure he'll die of a heart attack before the day's over
He hasn't let himself look at another man that long in a while and aldfguadfjkgajdf he can't handle
downmoon
this poor fool omggggg
Flenser
Suga's not helping
He's just being himself
But himself in tiny shorts
And a tiny colorful tank
Ukai feels so dirty staring so hard at his former student
downmoon
me too
Flenser
Whatever, he's 28 now
Doesn't look it
But it's more than ethical
Ukai does his Very Best to not openly stare at Suga too much
Which makes Suga pout a little
He didn't bust out his tiny shorts for nothing
For being such a goody goody with a heart of gold he sure is a child sometimes
downmoon
Gotta really put them shorts to use baby
Flenser
They play volleyball
And laugh a lot
Ukai's a grill master and makes some damn good food
Despite being dressed like a priss Suga digs in and gets serious on the volleyball
Grass stains on his knees
downmoon
YOU FUCK I WAS ABOUT TO TYPE THAT
Flenser
THE SINGULARITY
Ukai thinks they're so hot
They all talk and drink a lot and even stalwart Daichi gets buzzed
Enough to where he pulls Suga aside to ask him what he thinks he's doing
And Suga's like
GOD, Daichi, he got dumped, not widowed
downmoon
yeah daichi GOD
Flenser
Stop acting like Suga's gonna ruin Take-chan's memory, JEEZ
downmoon
be a wingman for chrissake
Flenser
Right, help him ruin Ukai's ass instead
Suga really wants his ass ruined, tho
Those Tiny Shorts scream it kinda loudly
downmoon
he's telling all this to daichi
daichi's not surprised but he has to be disappointed
Flenser
It wouldn't be very daddish if he wasn't
downmoon
the upstanding boys start drifting home and that's when someone insists the rest of them get shitfaced
Flenser
It's been yeeeeears since Suga's been shitfaced
Prolly third year in undergrad
Kiyoko's like, welp, I'm out
Make good choices
So now it's just Ukai, Suga, Tanaka, Yachi and Noya
Fuck, let's add Saeko
She dropped by and got sucked in
downmoon
omgggggggggggggggggggGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Flenser
She and Ukai are bugs
BUDS
downmoon
BUGS
Flenser
Instead of "add" I almost wrote "ass"
Caught it in time, tho
downmoon
bahahaha
she's the queen of drinking games
Flenser
She really kicks the party up a notch
She's sharp and sees exactly what's going on with Ukai
Makes it her mission to get little goody two shoes Sugawara Koushi rekt
downmoon
get it girrrlll
Flenser
Figures Ukai needs some liquid encouragement at least
FLIP CUP
Suga's shit at drinking games
downmoon
THE WORST
even when he's not trashed
it's only worse when he is
Flenser
Beer pong's even worse
He's all giggly and flirty and leaping across the table for the balls
His sweet little ass totally on display
Ukai's gonna die
He's too old for this shit
Damn you, Saeko
downmoon
she's far too sneaky for a tanaka
Flenser
She's also shitfaced and roaring so the extent of her puppetmastery is to be questioned
downmoon
somehow it's still her fault
Flenser
Ukai will find a way to blame her
He goes inside to get more beer and Suga follows him, but he doesn't notice until he turns around at the cooler and WHOA SUGA WHAT THE FUCK
He's SO CLOSE and SUNBURNED and smelling like sunscreen
And so, so hot
Ukai can feel his resolve crumbling
Suga's all sweet and fuzzy
And he's just
UKAI KEISHIN
Don't tell me I wore these criminally tiny shorts for nothing
downmoon
ukai really is gonna die now
Flenser
Suga's insecure now
Feels like he might be making a fool of himself
downmoon
poor little darling
Flenser
Aaaaah I'm making fried pickles
downmoon
snooki's dream
Flenser
THEY'RE SO GOOD
I am genius
downmoon
remember when pauly was yelling at that guy in the phone about the bouquet that had to have pickles in it
Flenser
Lawl
I love that show
Can't blame her tho
downmoon
it's so beautiful
Flenser
Pickles are the world's most perfect food
ANYWAY
So Suga's all drunk and warm and half naked and pouty in Ukai's face
Ukai's not DRUNK drunk, but drunk enough to maaaaaaaaaybe not think it's weird that his ten years younger former student who he might have checked out once or twice back in high school is coming onto him
Hard
downmoon
psh this is a perfectly normal thing that people do ukai get with it
Flenser
He really has no idea why he's resisting
Ever since the reunion he's been running scenarios in his head
They're both adults with experience
They clearly want each other
The student thing was TEN YEARS AGO
He had successfully talked himself out of it until Suga rolled up in those shorts GOD DAMN
Finally he's just
Fuck it
He kisses him and it's the lewedst, most disgusting thing ever
But so, so hot
Ugggggh what the fuck
I want soda
I never want soda
Ukai's got his hands all over Suga and ohhhhh man why did he resist this
Love by beercoolerlight
AHAHAHAH
I started watching Snooki & JWoww and JWoww tells her boyfriend that Snooki's pregnant and he goes
PREG-A-NENT
My favorite day
Ugh, wanna go back to Ukaisugas getting it on in the store
Ukai's got Suga hiked up on the counter and they're all plastered together with sweat
Suga's making a complete mess of Ukai's hair
They're all supercharged and sticky
Suga even managed to get his hands down Ukai's pants before Saeko pops in
Ukai's never been part of anything so hot in his life
He loved Takeda to death but he never got this passionate, holy shit
They're pretty much humping on the counter
Then comes Saeko with the buzzkill
downmoon
thanks Saeko
Flenser
She knows exactly what's going on
Conniving jerk
downmoon
better her than someone else lmao
Flenser
After about another hour everyone manages to stagger home
Saeko smacks Ukai on the back on her way out
Ukai doesn't waste any time
He grabs Suga by the wrist and bodily drags him back inside
They're both a little more sober now so it's not quite as frantic, but it's still like giving a man water in the desert
They both know exactly what they want and just go for it
downmoon
hhnnnnnggggg
Flenser
They have a fantastic night
Suga's SO PLEASED
Like a cat napping in the sun after eating an entire dish of milk
Ukai scratched every itch
Ukai can't believe he managed to keep up
It'd been a while for him
And while he's not OLD, he's not 26 anymore
downmoon
Suga's a little firecracker
Flenser
He passes out hard, tho
Too much sun and booze and sex did him in
downmoon
lmao, makes ukai feel a little less dumb about being exhausted
Flenser
He decides to add cardio to his workout routine
It's obvious that weight lifting isn’t enough
downmoon
not when suga's involved ohoho
Flenser
They go for round two the next morning
They don't even manage to get out of bed until noon
Ukai should've opened the store hours ago but he can't bring himself to care
He's so amazed at how sexually compatible they are
No offense to Takeda, but he was a little more conservative in the sack
Just rolled over and let Ukai do all the work
Ukai loves that Suga's demanding in bed
It's such a turn-on
Suga's in town for another couple days before he has to regroup at his office, and decides to make the most of it
Texts Kiyoko to let her know not to wait around for him
She figured
The UST was strong
He slips back to the hotel to grab his stuff while Ukai opens up the shop
Though he's not really sure why
Suga's determined to wear as little clothing as possible for the rest of the weekend
He has family to visit, tho
MIGHT AS WELL
Ukai's in a great mood all day
One of his old lady customers remarks on it
Says she hasn't seen him shine so much in years
Must be a new lady friend
Lock her down, Keishin-chan
downmoon
HEEHEE
Flenser
Ukai keeps zoning out, recalling the events of the night
He can't wait to close the shop that night
It's really refreshing to be with someone brave enough to take what they want
He's pretty sure he's already addicted
Suga's hooked too, holy jesus
Ukai's just the dreamiest
downmoon
workin on cars
buff as hell
rugged good looks
Flenser
CHEST HAIR
Suga loves that shit
He spent quite a bit of time admiring Ukai's treasure trail
downmoon
look at the ukai i just reblogged
Flenser
HHHHHHHHH
downmoon
why is ukai so hot i am having emotions
Flenser
Welcome to my hellish dreamscape
I've had my eye on that man since day one
downmoon
well me too but it's just now coming to the surface
Flenser
Favorite Ukai
http://cloven.tumblr.com/post/82524147575
downmoon
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Flenser
THAT'S the Ukai Suga gets his hooks into, oh ho ho
'Cept a little older, more rugged
downmoon
i'm swoonin
suga's swoonin
ukai's mom is swoonin when she runs into suga at the store
Flenser
If she remembers him from ten years ago, she doesn't let on
Ukai's relieved, but he knows his mother
He's especially suspicious when she shoos them both out of the store
You kids go have fun
Ukai's not gonna look a gifthorse in the mouth
downmoon
aint no time for that
Flenser
Suga's just
WELP
There goes fucking the night away
Ukai is SCANDALIZED
SUGA
downmoon
BAHAHAHA
Flenser
But then laughs so hard
Suga's still as sweet as he was way back when, but now he has this bawdier side that just tickles Ukai
So the Ukasugas decide to wander around town together
It's only a couple hours before Ukai's mother closes shop and heads home
They're both surprised to find their chemistry extends beyond sex
Ukasugas actually stay out pretty late
Just chatting and catching up
It's weird how the time flew
downmoon
it's just so easy and comfortable between them
Flenser
They didn't have to do any of that dating smalltalk bullshit
Getting drunk and having sex knocked that shit right out of them
downmoon
thank god
Flenser
And they're both successful adults
There's no reason not to cut to the chase and talk about what they want from each other
Obviously the sex is working for both of them, but what about everything else
Suga's busy and can't commit
But he wouldn't be interested in pursuing anything else if Ukai was on board
He might be proactive with his sexuality but he's also very much into monogamy
Ukai hasn't had anything even remotely close to resembling a relationship in years, so he's cool with seeing where this goes
Suga might not be around a lot, but when he's with someone he's WITH them
They finally end up back at Ukai's place and it's a repeat of the night before
It's disgusting how into each other they are
Ukai takes a moment to wonder at how something like this could have happened
He kinda feels like a cradle robber but just doesn't care
downmoon
it's kinda
HARD
to care
GET IT
Flenser
HURR DURR
downmoon
thank u thank u
Flenser
You made a boner joke
downmoon
that's my big contribution
Flenser
BIG
downmoon
HA
i’m here all night
Flenser
Or at least until dinner time
downmoon
oh i'm already eating baby
Flenser
The Ukasugas spend the third day gloriously naked and wrapped up in each other at a hotel room because Ukai managed to get the day off
All they do is fuck and sleep and talk and watch TV
They have a surprising amount to say to one another
Suga has to leave that night so they're cramming as much in as they can
GET IT
And speaking of cramming, Suga makes a mental note to get a bigger dildo later 'cause now he's accustomed to Ukai and doesn't think he could ever go back
downmoon
i'm so proud of you
Flenser
My jokes land hard
OH HO HO
downmoon
OH HO HO INDEED
Flenser
The Ukasugas are so gross
downmoon
the grossest
i love it
Flenser
They're not in love or anything
Yet
But they never miss a Skype date
They sext a LOT
Suga's the biggest offender
Good thing Ukai can stand behind a counter all day
downmoon
that sly dog
Flenser
Siiiiiigh
The Ukasuga tag is so small
downmoon
you know what this means
time to start putting stuff in there
Flenser
I DON'T HAVE TIME
downmoon
YOU BETTER MAKE TIME
Flenser
ANYWAY
So at first the Ukasugas is all sex, right
But then attachment happens, like it usually does
And Suga WANTS THINGS
He's always wanted kids
"Some day"
But he was busy saving the world
Being in a kind-sorta steady relationship is making him think about shit
All those endorphins
Messing with his mind
But Suga doesn't know if Ukai's up for that, or even if he wants it
They've never had a serious discussion about their relationship
The most seriously they ever got was agreeing not to fuck other people
THE MOST SERIOUSLY
So this has been going on for 6ish months
Suga runs off to see Ukai whenever he can
Ukai's made it to Tokyo a few times, too
Mostly it's Suga doing the traveling tho
Ukai's been fending off his mother for a while
She's pleased for her lonely bachelor son, but she can't stand that he’s keeping Suga from her
She's no dummy
Ukai just doesn't want her to get attached
In case this thing with Suga just stays a fling
Ukai's starting to feel his age a bit
Pretty much all his friends from the neighborhood association are married with kids now
He's pushing 40
A family wasn't ever really part of his plan but then he lost his father and grandfather two years apart
It's just him and his mother now
He thinks it wouldn't be so bad if it was with Suga, tho
But then he's like
Wtf are you doing
You've only been at this for six months
To be fair, tho, they've known each other a long time
CALM DOWN UKAI GOD
He's freaking out a little
The novelty of watching Ukai spiral into weirdness finally wears off for Saeko and she kicks him around a bit
TALK TO SUGA
Yeah, it's just sex right now but it doesn't have to be
B'sides, you don't see the way he looks at you when you're not paying attention
downmoon
I'm melting
Flenser
Turns out Ukai doesn't have to do shit, because his mother jumps Suga the next time he visits
The traitor
She's tired of not having in-laws
downmoon
PFFFFF
Flenser
She drags someone in to watch the shop as she drags these two FULLY GROWN but FULLY STUPID men upstairs for dinner
She's hilariously blunt
Suga-chan, how do you feel about my son
He'd make a great husband, wouldn't he
Keishin, why haven't you married this beautiful young man yet
She conveniently doesn't care that it's not legal
Ukai's gaping at his mother while Suga looks like he can't decide between laughing and running
She's just like
Look
I'm not getting any younger and I want grandbabies before I die
So do an old woman a favor and tell her if this is a possibility or if she should give up on all hope forever
downmoon
HEEHEEHEE
Flenser
Suga can't hold it in anymore
He cracks the fuck up
While Ukai's redder than he's ever been
Suga's eyes are doing that twinkling thing and he suggests that maybe he and Ukai have a few things to talk about
Ukai's mom is like
Well, don't wait on my account
And skedaddles
Suga's all
She has a point
Ukai's still flustered
WHAT KIND OF POINT IS THAT
And Suga's just
Well, haven't you ever thought about it
Ukai begrudging admits he has
And that it wouldn't entirely suck
If it was with Suga
Suga's such a tease, tho
Oooooo~ Keishin, just what are you suggesting
Ukai's practically purple now
What are YOU suggesting
Suga decides to let Ukai off the hook and snuggles up into his lap, because he didn't even get a kiss before Ukai's mom swooped in
And he's just
I'm SUGGESTING that maybe we ought to consider our relationship a little more seriously because it's become apparent that we have certain shared aspirations
Ukai tries to play it off
Like he doesn't know what Suga's talking about
But Suga gives him That Look™
Your boy's a lawyer, Ukai, don't try to play dumb
God, can you imagine how good Suga would be at his job
People already bend over backwards to do anything for him because he's SUGA
Imagine him questioning a witness
There are no survivors
Total devastation
Suga's done playing around
He asks Ukai if this is something worth investing in, because if not, he'd rather duck out now than risk heartache further down the road
The mood's really somber and tense
Ukai wants to make demands of Suga's time, but he's worried Suga won't like it
Once or twice a month really isn't cutting it for him
Suga asks him if that's his only concern and Ukai's just
Well, yeah
I mean, you're perfect
What else could I complain about
And Suga's just
Right
Now that that's settled, let's go make babies
downmoon
Ka-ching
Flenser
Ahahahaha, Suga has, like, no refractory period
downmoon
POOR UKAI
Flenser
The cardio's been helping, but not that much
Suga can control himself, tho
He's not a complete fiend
And he's even better at reading people than he was as a teen
He knows when to back off
And it's not like he's in a constant state of low-grade horny
Just when he has the opportunity to go all night, he'll take it
Why not
A huge portion of their relationship is based on sex
But not in a we-have-nothing-else-in-common way
It's just something they both really enjoy between all the other stuff they do
Turns out Suga has a green thumb and enjoys spending time at the farm
And he loves watching Ukai work on his car
Ukai is super fun to tease, too
Suga lives to fluster him
Ukai has a weirdly philosophical mind, too
He looks at things really differently
Takeda got him into poetry and it's something he's kept up
Ukai's very interested in war history and a lot of what Suga does relates to it
Taking cases in recovering nations
Suga takes more local work so he's not traveling as much, and consults on cases rather than trying them himself
He misses the rush of the courtroom, but playing volleyball with the neighborhood association buoys him up a bit
He doesn't miss the dirty water and terrible living conditions when he travels, tho
Constant diarrhea
Ukai's bed is plenty comfy, thankyouverymuch
They settle into a nice routine
Everyone's shocked to find out they're together
They have no idea what these two could possibly have in common
And no one knew either one were gay, though they had thoughts about Ukai and Takeda
The shock wears off fast
At least among their peers
It makes sense to them after being around them being together
The kid thing doesn't happen until a few years in, and even then it just falls into their lap
Saeko has a really irresponsible friend
With a three year old desperately needing stability
So they're just like
Yes, let's do it
A sweet little dark haired girl
The poor thing is SO SHY
She latches onto Suga pretty quickly
Ukai's big and intimidates her a little
Ahahaha, when they first move in together Suga has all these weird little knick knacks from the countries he's been to
It's so eclectic and interesting
Ukai can't figure any of it out
He's like
Did hippies move in while I was out
Suga calls him a grumpy old man
downmoon
HAHAHAHAHA
Flenser
He pulls out an aphrodisiac he picked up in South Africa and ushers Ukai into the bedroom
Not everything's purely decoration
downmoon
ohoho sugawara~
Flenser
It's just rum with a vanilla bean in it, but shhhh
downmoon
what a cute family they'd be
once little girl warmed up to ukai
Flenser
Ukai has no idea what to do at first
Suga just has this natural ease and motherly sense about him so it's easy for kids to get attached
Well, anyone, really
Ukai has like no experience with kids
Other than when he has to chase them out of the shop
He gets the hang of it, tho
He does the stern dad thing pretty well
His favorite thing is watching Suga and babygirl interact
NAME TIME
Mai
Cute and sinple
SINple
downmoon
SINPLE
Flenser
Ukai would be the type to not realize he was in love until he has that little family
Like, intellectually he'd know, but he wouldn't KNOW
He'd finally understand the meaning of the word
downmoon
oh my god, not to derail fluffy fun family times, but you said you wanted angst earlier. WHAT IF TAKEDA COMES BACK, sometime when ukasugas are still fairly casual
Flenser
OOOOO
Takeda shows up at the store
Ukai's heart fucking LURCHES but he's determined to be a wall
Suga's actually visiting that weekend
He's still upstairs or something
I don't know why, but I always assume that Ukai lives above the store
downmoon
me too
whatever, it works
Flenser
Word
SO YEAH
Suga's still upstairs, prolly having a nice morning
Cup of tea
The newspaper
downmoon
heehee
Flenser
Luxuriating in having been fucked pretty well the night before
Answering e-mails
He has no idea that Ukai's losing his goddamned mind downstairs
It's so tense
Ukai's still pretty angry
He never has to hide anything with Suga and he's grown to really resent how things went with Takeda
But god damn does Takeda look good
Older, but good
Takeda doesn't really want anything from Ukai
He's actually in town meeting with his fiancée's parents and they needed something from the store
It was an arranged marriage
Ukai's like
Good for you
But all gruff
Like he doesn't really want to know
That little tiny spiteful part of him is pleased that Takeda's gonna be trapped in misery with a wife he probably doesn't want
downmoon
ugh this is so gooooood but i'm leavinggggggg
Flenser
You'll have some fun surprises when you get home, then
Takeda looks a little sad and shamefaced
And like he wants to say something
Ukai softens a bit
It's fine
He's fine
And down comes Suga looking like a twinked out dream staring at his phone and asking Ukai if he wants to meet up with the Tanakas tonight and it's like you can hear a god damned pin drop
Suga looks up and
OH SHIT
Takeda's eyes are so wide, but then he composes himself
He recognizes Suga
Don't GIS "twink style" unless you want to see a lot of buttholes
All I wanted was a cute shirt
And I got buttholes
Buttholes
WHY AM I LAUGHING LIKE A CHILD
Fuck, I need a V8
Anyway, Takeda and Suga STARE at one another before they both get over the shock and go into Polite Mode while Ukai has a crisis behind the counter
It's like his worst nightmare come true
They exchange pleasantries, like
Sugawara! I didn't know you were in town
And Suga's like
Aahahaha, yeah, sensei, it's been awhile, huh
They do the obligatory how-are-you-how's-your-family thing
It's TOO polite
But Ukai can still sense there's some kind of battle going on
Watching two very polite people fight is weirdly the most intense thing ever
Eventually Takeda says something like "give my regards to your mother" in a way that just sounds like a threat to Suga and Suga's so over this
downmoon
OOOH MAN
Flenser
He just casually walks over to the tiny condom section, grabs a box of XLs, waves to Takeda with a smile and goes back upstairs
Ukai is so impressed and turned on
He's just
At total war with himself
He shouldn't have found Suga treating his ex that way as sexy as he did but HOLY BALLS WAS THAT SEXY
Tells Takeda it was nice to see him again, ushers him out the door and locks it behind him
Suga's gonna pay for that one
When he takes time to think about it after thoroughly wrecking Suga, he realizes how much it DIDN'T hurt seeing Takeda
Like, it DID, but he's okay
downmoon
His heart's not beating out of his chest anymore
