This is part of Wishing-Fire's 100 Theme Challenge, 100 little drabbles about a specific Kingdom Hearts character. I own nothing, all Kingdom Hearts characters belong to Tetsuya Nomura and Square Enix.
Author's Note: Kairi's father, like all the other parental figures in video games is absent. But as he's the mayor of the town, I felt like he's one of those dads that takes some work to interact with. What better way to get a parent to spend some time than with a meal?
36. Father Figure
Kairi's father, as a politician was a distant person, he was barely home, and when he was home, the man shut himself up in his office, taking calls and doing work. Kairi used to sit in his office when she was little and color or read books. But now that she was a teenager, the gap between father and daughter was growing wider and wider. So, one evening, Kairi took dinner, fast food from her father's favorite stand, up to the city hall letting her father's secretary know she was here, then slipped into the mayor's office.
"I understand, yes. I'll talk with the newspaper offices in the morning. Alright, have a pleasant evening." The mayor had his back turned and did not notice his adoptive daughter until she waved the cheeseburger under his nose. After that, the two spent a lovely hour eating and catching up on each others life events.
