Dislcaimer: I own nothing
A few words can change a lot. Is it always for the better, though? That's for you to decide.
Early Confession
Cana watched as Gildarts…her father walked away from her. She had traveled a long way after her mother died. This man was her father…and he didn't even know it? The little girl couldn't understand it. She knew that her parents were separated but…
The little girl didn't know what to do. She was rather shy, and didn't know what to say the her father. He was so big and intimidating despite his smile. Even she would feel the raw power that seemed to seep off of him.
'But…I can't let him go…' Cana decided. 'If I don't do this now, then I never will…'
"W-wait!" Cana ran after the large man.
"Huh?" Gildarts stopped and smiled down at the girl again. "Something wrong?"
"I…I'm looking for my father…" Cana felt tears form in her eyes. "My kaa-san said that he was in Fairy Tail…"
"Oh, really?" Gildarts smirked. One of the guys in there was in trouble. "Did your mother tell you his name?"
"Y-yes…" Cana gripped the piece of paper…the letter her mother left her…in her hand.
"Can you tell me? I can introduce you to him." Gildarts stated.
"H-here…" Can handed him the letter.
"Oh, let's se here…" Gildarts began to read the letter. "Ah? Ah….Ah!...AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
"She said it was you…"
Despite all his power, confidence, and strength, Gildarts couldn't handle this new bit of information. It was a lot to take in after all. Learning that you now had a kid…a little girl at that…to take care of was rather earth shaking. If this was to happen about 12 years from then, then maybe he would have taken somewhat better. But that was not the case. Thus, Gildarts did the only thing a man could do in that situation.
He fainted.
Gildarts quickly recovered, though. His job, now forgotten, Gildarts decided to do the only thing he could do now. Brag and celebrate.
"I have a daughter!" Gildarts cheered as he held Cana up in the air.
"WHAT?!" The entire guild reacted.
They're shock, while understandable, didn't last long. When faced with this unusualy and shocking news, the guild Fairy Tail did the thing it did best. Well…After destroying stuff that is.
They partied.
"Hahahahahaha!" Gildarts had Cana up on his shoulders all night. He was showing what a loving father he could be.
Cana smiled brightly. She was glad that she told him. Things would be better this way.
"Y-you're home…I-t's so messy…" Cana mumbled.
"Sorry." Gildarts shrugged sheepishly. "It was a bachelor's pad until about two seconds ago."
"It's fine…I guess…" Cana smiled weakly. "We…can always clean it up, right."
"Er…that's not exactly my strong point, but I can try…" Gildarts rubbed his chin.
"Okay…Where do I sleep?" Cana questioned.
"I have a guest room. You can stay there!" Gildarts blasted the door open. No, he literally blasted it open. Now, it was only splinters…
"…" Cana looked inside the room. "…Is that mold?"
"Yep."
"And…i-is that a giant rat?"
"Yep. That's Jerry. Don't worry, I'll move him."
"Is…he your pet?"
"Nope, he's here because I was too afraid to move him out of here…" Gildarts frowned. "I'm sure he'll be fine on the couch for tonight. If not…he'll just destroy the whole building."
"Will…will it hurt my doggy?"
"Probably. I'd keep your dog with you at all times."
Cana's dog lasted two hours.
Okay…so things were as great as she hoped. It could be worse, right?
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Cana cried in pain.
"I'm so sorry!" Gildarts apologized. "I have a hard time holding back. I told you that me trying to teach you magic wasn't a good idea."
Cana continued to cry.
"Please stop crying!"
She didn't stop.
"Will a cookie help?"
It didn't.
"Oh, come on! I said I was sorry!"
So her dad was a filthy man that had the tendency to accidently hurt the people and destroy everything around him. It wasn't a perfect life, but…this still beat living alone with no one around.
"Snow cone!" Natsu yelled
"Matchstick!" Grey glared.
"Stripper!"
"Hothead!"
"Stop it!" Erza glared at the two. "You need to stop fighting and be friends."
"Y-yes, ma'am." Natsu shuddered.
"W-we're sorry…" Grey was incredibly pale.
"Ha! What a bunch of babies!" Mirajane smirked at them all. "Two wimps being bossed around by a weakling. It's hilarious!"
"Onee-chan…Please, be nice…" Lisanna frowned.
"I am being nice. I haven't curb stomped them all yet. How much nicer do you want me to be?" Mirajane questioned. "Besides, armor girl doesn't deserve my kindness."
"What'd you say, emo-girl?!"
"I said that you're pathetic, armor girl!"
"Shut up, slut!"
"Make me, hoe!"
"You kids…" Gildarts laughed. "Don't act so tough. None of your are the strongest kid in Fairy Tail anyway!"
"What?!" All four of them glared at the older man.
"That spot belongs to Cana!" Gildarts cheered.
They all turned to Cana and glared. If they're role model and goal said that Cana was the strongest, then it must be true.
Cana say the monsters' gazes and gulped. "Well, shit…"
…Now her dad liked to put her in death matches with freaky monsters. That's just great. Cana now realized that it probably would have had a safer life is she never told Gildarts the truth…
"Tou-san!" Cana glared at her father.
"What?!" Gildarts shouted in surprise.
"What did you say to my boyfriend!?" Cana questioned. "He won't even speak with me anymore."
"That's good! He was too weak to be with my little princess." Gildarts smiled.
"But he was really cute! And he was nice and funny…" Cana frowned. "I really liked him."
"That doesn't mantter." Gildarts waved her off. "All that matters is strength. If the guy can't beat me, then he isn't worthy of being your boyfriend."
"B-but you know that's impossible!" Cana paled. She would be alone forever!
"Maybe…" Gidarts nodded. "But I can't have just anyone screwing with my daughter."
"TOU-SAN!" Cana was mortified. "WE WERE'NT GOING TO DO THAT!"
"Maybe you weren't thinking that, but he sure as hell was." Gildarts scowled. "Shameless."
"You do that with woman all the time!"
"It's different!"
"How!?"
"They aren't my daughter."
"They're someone's daughter!"
"But I can beat all those fathers." Gildarts nodded sagely. "They can't do anything about it, but I can."
"You…" Cana glared.
She wasn't allowed to date. In fact, every man was too afraid of Gildarts to even get close to her. Cana was beginning to think that her life sucked.
"Stop drinking like that!" Gildarts grabbed the barrel of alcohol from her.
"…That's my booze…"
"Yes, but it's not lady like to drink like that!"
"…That's my booze…."
"You shouldn't be drinking yet, anyway!"
"…THAT'S. MY. BOOZE…."
"It doesn't matter! I don't want my daughter to be an alchoholic!" Gildarts frowned. "No more drinking. Also, you need to wear more than a bra! Every man you pass gets an eyeful of you without even trying…"
"…"
"…Cana?"
"…"
"What ar you-OH KAMI! THAT HURTS SO BADLY! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I THINK I'M GONNA DIE FROM THE PAIN! GOOD GOD HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL!"
Cana had sent a 'Crash' empowered kick to Gildart's groin. The result was terrible pain. It was rather ironic that his daughter was the one that took away his ability to have children.
It was that day that Cana realized something. Life would have been better if she never told Gildarts the truth.
If only she kept quiet on the first day…
I love Gildarts, but I don't think that he would make a very good Dad.
Thank you all for reading and please remember to…
