Prologue:
"Papa! Papa!"
"What is it, Hime (princess)?" her father said while pulling the little girl into the safety of his arms.
"Can you tell me the story about the key on your necklace? Why does Mama also have it? Why do you have it, Papa? Is this how you and Mama met? Can you tell me the story about you and mama?" the girl told her father, breathing in and out due to her speaking so fast.
"I thought Mama always tells you that story, Hime," the father said, stroking the hair of his little girl lovingly. The 4 year-old girl savored the feel of her father's hand. Her Papa was so busy with work nowadays that she almost never get to say goodnight to him, but she knows that her Papa would come to her room while she sleeps because she always feels the warmth of her Papa's hand on her head whenever he would stroke her hair, along with the kiss on her forehead and cheek that follows after.
"I, uh, always fall asleep at some point in the story," the girl shyly said, burying her head further into her father's protective hold. Her father chuckled, kissing his sweet daughter's cheek sweetly.
"Well, you might fall asleep too with me telling the story. I know Mama is pretty expressive whenever she tells our story,"
"No! I won't fall asleep! I promise! Pinky promise!" the girl said, holding out her pinky to her Papa to show that she is serious about not falling asleep this time. "And I love Papa's voice! I won't fall asleep," The father laughed again, wrapping her delicate pinky around his own.
"Alright." The father said, adjusting his hold on the little girl. He loves these little moments where he can just relax with his beloved family. With what he experienced, he vowed to always treasure family moments with his wife and child, even if he already has a busy schedule because of work. "Hmm….where to begin? Alright, let's start on how Uncle Naruto and I became brothers and best friends…and from there you'll know why Mama and I have a key on our necklaces…"
AN: Hi guys! It's been a while! So, obviously I'm back with a new story. I'll be posting the next chapter hopefully by tomorrow. My uncle has this habit of hogging the computer so pray that that won't happen tomorrow. I'll out the rating to M for now. I'll just change it as I update, kay?
Read and review please! Thank you!
