"Dad, I aced the math exams!"
Ritsu turned to his daughter, Tatsuno, who ran through the door with a paper in hand. He glanced at it and saw one hundred percent circled in red.
"Good job!" he praised.
Tatsuno smiled brightly and set it on the dining table where she was to do her seemingly endless amount of homework. She pulled out her school binder from her green backpack and began answering question after question.
"Do you need any help?" he dad asked.
She shook her head. "It's really easy now."
Ritsu sat on the couch and read a book he picked up from the library on his way home from work.
Tatsuno put down her pencil, taking a quick break to clear her head and fight off an oncoming headache.
She looked around the room and saw a calendar hanging by a nail in the wall. Today's date was circled.
"Dad, why is today circled on the calendar?" she asked.
Ritsu looked at the date and his eyes widened. He looked to the floor for a second and then to his daughter. "Do you want to know?" he asked. Seriousness was evident in his voice and that scared her a bit. Even so, she nodded.
"It's the day that I met your father."
Tatsuno looked at the living room. Her brown eyes were fixated on a picture of herself in between Ritsu and a tall man. He was well-built with a stern face that smiled blissfully at the camera. His shaggy raven hair framed his face.
"How did you two meet?" Tastuno asked.
Ritsu's emerald eyes saddened a bit, but he still looked his daughter in the eyes. "Do you really want to know? It's not exactly a Romeo and Juliet love story," he said.
"I wasn't expecting it to be one. But, I think I can handle it," she said firmly.
Ritsu kept her gaze to find any signs of doubt or other negative emotions, but he see expected, he found none.
He leaned back on the couch. "It all started in high school."
Author's Note
It's been a while since my last SH story...since Christmas to be exact XD Well, on Friday I went to see one of my favorite bands ever which was Mayday Parade and they were awesome! Then I played all of their songs nonstop which made me pretty depressed...especially since Terrible Things came on and I automatically thought of SH. If you heard the song, you know what to expect and if you haven't, prepare for feels~!
Until next time, sayonara~!
