Author's Notes: Here goes my second attempt. I hope everything goes well.
Disclaimer: Well, you know the routine.
I never thought I'd see him again...
I never even thought our worlds would cross once more...
But now, he is staring at me with his sapphire eyes, eyeing me carefully.
He was still as handsome as before...
His hair was still the same as it used to be.
It was the same midnight blue hair I used to grasp.
I never thought to see him...
... I never thought... He'd be my...
Dad.
It was five in the morning. Amu woke up because of the heavy bangs coming from downstairs. She was still quite sleepy, but since she grew up to be a light sleeper, she failed to come back to sleep. She dragged herself up, combed her pink hair for a short while, and put it in a ponytail. She put on a black cap to cover her head. She went outside the balcony, and below she saw her mom directing orders to muscular men who were swimming in sweat.
Today, she'd meet her new dad. Actually, she was really nervous. What does he look like? What kind of man is he? How was he able to make her mom fall for him?
At first, she was against the marriage, but she knew her mom is still young and she could still have a new husband to take care of her. It was also obvious that she loves the man and she couldn't bear to be the reason to lose her smiles. She later agreed but told her that she must meet the man she'd marry and that she must have at least two months to check whether he is the right one for her or not.
She didn't know if she did the right thing, but her mom agreed, so there's no turning back.
Amu went outside her room, and rushed downstairs. She saw her mom walking back and forth. She secretly smiled knowing that her mom is nervous. She was always calm, and right now, she's panicking. Her mom noticed her and she smiled at her daughter.
"Good morning, Amu-chan." she greeted.
"Good morning, mom. It's still quite early for this. It's only five yah know?" Amu asked as she observed the men arranged everything.
"Yeah, but he kept on asking me if he could come earlier. He wanted to visit by 6." Amu's mom shrugged and sighed at the same time.
"Isn't he a little excited?" Amu snickered.
"You bet. He wants to meet you as soon as possible." Amu blushed by the comment but still managed to hide her embarrassment.
"Is that so? Well, I might as well prepare myself."
"Well, you look presentable to me." Amu's mom winked.
"Oh… I'll just stay here and wait for him, then…"
"Honestly, Amu, I don't know if I'd be excited or not." Amu's mom placed her hands on her hips and stared at her daughter.
"You should be. Your daughter would finally be able to meet her new father."
"I hope you'd like him…but if you don't… Well, I treasure you more than him, Amu… So, I'd be happy to-"
"Let's just hope for the best. If by chance, I didn't like him, I'd try to accept him. That's the reason why I asked for two months. I'll check if I would learn to accept him as my new dad."
"Thank you, Amu…"
"So, isn't it time for you to tell me who the lucky guy is?"
"I think it would be better if he'd introduce himself."
"I guess so, too, but I still need something to address him. Just his surname will do."
"Tsukiyomi."
That wasn't her mom. That was the voice of a man and there's no doubt she had heard that voice somewhere before. Before she had time to turn around, someone was already clinging to her from behind. He smelled familiar to Amu.
She finally arranged all the details: Tsukiyomi… thatvoice… thatsmell… She didn't have to turn around to figure who the man is. Still, it's always better to make sure. Or rather, she wanted to make sure. She wanted to be wrong.
She finally turned around and was shocked to find out that what she thought was right! The man was no other than Ikuto Tsukiyomi. The man she dumped almost six years ago is the one presented to her as her future dad.
So? What do you think?
