Call Me "Dad"! || Momo
♘ She was so energetic, it was quite adorable actually. She was so full of energy. It made him think that maybe this whole idea of being a father wouldn’t be so bad after all! It was actually quite fun. He could actually learn to like it.
Mikoshiba-san, she says. Well… She was close, right? Okay, not really. She was just a bit far off. Alright… She was completely wrong about that. But, he couldn’t blame her for guessing wrong. Everyone makes a mistake every once and a while and they’ve never even met before all this! It wasn’t that big of a deal.
"Suzaku Kururugi." He corrected her. "It’s nice to meet you."
To think he was so scared about starting a family. Here he thought he’d be a bad father and not get along with his new daughter! But she was so sweet. Surely Suzaku would love to be the fath- Wait a minute? Do you think you’re fit to be a father? Okay, Momo had a point there. He was still fairly young and for the most part, work usually came first. But, that didn’t mean he wouldn’t try to be a good father!
"Wait a minu-!"
You don’t have to take care of me. Was she serious?? Or maybe Suzaku was starting to take this parenting thing a bit too seriously. Momo was old enough to take care of herself. It was pretty obvious that she didn’t really need someone in her life to take care of her. But still! He was given the responsibility of taking care of her and that’s exactly what he was going to do!
"I know you probably don’t need me, but I was asked to take care of you and that’s exactly what I’m going to do."
She listens to him not as if she needed to but she does because she doesn't mind it, hearing what he has to say on the matters of her reluctance. Well, she isn't really being that but she doesn't want to cause him any trouble. The female can't remember what it's like to be watched over by a male parent, her father was long gone and she couldn't complain. Though she does miss her father, she leans back against the table once more as she stares at the other. She bends her legs and wraps her arms around them to bring her chest closer to them, seeing the other's gaze placed on her.
"It has to be weird to watch after someone really close to your age! I'm only sixteen but I'm almost an adult in this city's standards? I'll be kicked out and housed with who I'm partnered with really soon!" Maybe it's too soon to say that, which she shakes her head really quickly, "I-- I didn't mean to sound rude with that!! I meant.." She's slightly spastic as she's trying to find her words on what to say. She doesn't want to make the other upset, but it's the truth that she's almost seventeen but then again, if he requested for her to stay later in the year.. her decision would probably be to stay, she doesn't like leaving people at all.
Maybe the reason he wants to watch her is because he's indebted to do so, inclined by someone else from his home. She gives a gentle smile to him while trying to make this a little better, "You want to watch after me and I won't stop that! I guess playing the role of a daughter is just meant for me! Not that I'm not thankful, I'm happy to have parents." Maybe that's too much, anyway,
"So do you have kids or something back home or.. was I right that you're too young for them! Ufufu!"
