Tell me a story, Daddy

"Daddy, daddy, tell me a bedtime story!" The hazel brown eyes of the four-year-old child looked at him pleadingly. He sighed and proceeded to slump into the seat beside his child, grabbing a random storybook from the shelves.

Flipping through the pages quickly, he asked, "So what story would you like Daddy to tell you? Snow White? Sleeping Beauty?"

"Nope Daddy, I want to hear a new story, Daddy's story!"

"Don't you want to hear how Snow White wakes up with a kiss from her prince?" He arched his eyebrows.

"That's gross," the child replied, giggling, before she stared seriously into her father's eyes, quietly saying, "and the world doesn't work that way either. I want a real story, Daddy!"

He was shocked, thinking how at his daughter's age she should be fantasizing about her prince charming, and not seeing the world at it is. The cold harsh reality. His heart clenched and his sight became a blur. Tears? The last time he had ever cried was in the hospital, the day where the truth had finally sank in. That was the last time he would ever cry, for himself, for her. Yet he was shock as tears that pour relentlessly down his cheek before dripping onto the mattress, staining them into a darker shade of colour.

"Daddy? Why are you crying?" came his daughter's anxious voice.

"It's okay, Daddy's a little tired." He smoothly replied, attempting to wipe off his tears.

"Daddy…"

As he stared into the brown orbs of his child, he watched slowly as the brown orbs sizzled and turned into a beautiful yellow. He saw past those eyes and remembered her again. Her bright pink coloured hair that complimented her eyes, the way she would cover her mouth whenever she laughed, the melodious sound of her laughter, her everything. He would have seen the swirls of black within her eyes, known her despair if he had for once looked at her closer. But he didn't. He was like an ignorant fool from the beginning till the end, slumbering in his blissful ignorance until it was too late.

He had wanted her all for himself, and hated the other guy that she obviously loved till his core, and yet, in the end, even though he had 'won', there were no feelings of happiness or triumph like what he had anticipated.

All he had ever wanted was to protect her precious innocence, and to protect that beautiful smile of hers. He had never wanted to hurt her. And yet, that was what he did. He destroyed her smile, torn her innocence and betrayed her trust.

He loved her, even if the love was forbidden. And yet she chose the other guy without any hesitation. All he had believed in was that he would be able to bring her more happiness than the other guy, and yet in the end he was the one who was being dumped.

Reality hurt. He had been too rash, too harsh and anger blinded him to do all those he should not have done. She would have been happier with the other guy.

After all, he was the one who destroyed her happiness.

He killed Hinamori Amu.
