Manga: Horimiya

Time: In the future

Ship: Kyoko x Izumi

(One Shot?)

"Mi. Ya. Mura!" Kyoko's voice rang throughout the household. "Pick up Hanako today! The poor girl's probably wondering where her daddy is," she sighed. "You're going to have to be a responsible father today since I'm cooking…" she grumbled as she was making dinner.

"B-but Kyoko!" Miyamura whined. "I'll go if you call me by my first name." He grinned slyly knowing his wife still got embarrassed over saying his first name. "I-Izumi," she muttered, clutching a fork that she was holding even tighter. "Now go pick Hanako up!" She yelled at him, a red hue blossoming in her cheeks. A loud thwack was heard as Kyoko threw a thick cooking book at his procrastinating husband.

"Waahh! Mommy, daddy picked me up so late!" Sniffles were heard from Hanako. Kyoko stroked her head and comforted her. She sent an icy glare towards Izumi. Izumi shrunk back towards the wall. "What did I say?!" she hissed in annoyance. "It's ok, Hanako! Besides, dinner's ready!" She shot a small, reassuring smile at her beloved daughter. Izumi smiled after seeing his family happy.

"Mommy. Daddy. I have something important to tell you." Hanako looked up at her waiting parents. "I have a friend. And he's coming over… And I like him! A-and I! I… need strawberry ice cream because… because…" She blubbered, looking down at her feet embarrassed. So young, both parents thought. "I'll make it," volunteered Izumi. "Last time Kyoko made a mess trying to make me a cake." he teased. Kyoko stuck out her tongue, not wanting to admit that it was true.

A few days later, a small boy with spiky blond hair appeared at their door along with a raven haired boy who looked quite uncomfortable. "Daichi! Oh and hey Kichirou!" Her smile lit up both of the boys faces. "Hey Izumi, which one do you think Hanako likes?" Kyoko whispered into Izumi's ear. "I don't really care… I've never thought about it." Izumi replied, not necessarily sure what to say. Kyoko face palmed, groaning about how terrible of a father he was. "I guess I'll just have to find out." she smirked playfully, cracking her knuckles.

"Which one of you likes strawberry ice cream? I've got some in my fridge so I wanted to share." Kyoko approached the kids with a smile on her lips. "Uh, both of us do." answered Daichi, looking at Kichirou. "Oh ok! I'll get some for both of you. I know Hanako likes vanilla." After turning around, she cursed under her breath. Izumi chuckled at her reaction. "We'll find out sooner or later." he murmured, patting her head. "Yeah…" she mumbled, smiling wistfully at the trio.

A/N: Soo... How was it? Zero experience with writing but I loved the manga so I decided to write a one-shot. If you have any advice for me, tell me! Thanks~
