It's been a few weeks since Haruka started teaching the children, the children have been trying to swim freestyle and Syu has gotten used it already. Megumi and Satoshi have been really close to Haruka since the first week. They enjoyed sitting beside him during lunch, and talking to him during breaks. The children were so used to him that they decided to ask him…
"C-Can we call you 'Papa'?" Megumi asked hesitantly while Satoshi agreed with a nod at him.
Haruka blinked in confusion on what to say as he stared at you and back to the gazes of the children. He looked confused since the children started to call him 'Papa coach' since he started.
He looked at them and asked. "Why? You already called me 'Papa Coach'?"
"N-No! We just want 'Papa'!" Miyu said slowly.
"Yeah!" Seto replied enthusiastically.
"We want to call you papa!" Souichi agreed.
"Please?" Minami looked at him pleadingly followed with the other children.
You remained speechless on what to say (as he looked at you looking for approval) and you suddenly blushed at that thought because… First of all, they call you, 'Mama' and then they would call Nanase, 'Papa' so that would look very awkward to spend time with him but it just made you look at him pleadingly too and he nodded at your reaction.
"…It's fine." He said without any hesitation as he took a bite of his mackerel.
"H-Huh?" You looked at him as he looked at you again.
"I said that it's fine." He replied and then took another bite.
"Yay! Thank you papa!" The children smiled but you were there looking at your food with a slight blush on your cheeks.
.
"Thank you for teaching us!" You said in unison with the children as Nanase was about the leave.
"Thank you Nanase." You said again and he turned back to look at you.
" 'Haru' is fine…" He while turning his back and went his way.
You paused remembering his words 'Haru is fine…' and it caused you to blush again that day.
