This fic set years after my fic "under a blanket of stars"
Tohru entered the room and found Kyou fumbling around with some pieces of paper.
"Ohayou Kyo-kun!" She sing-sang in her usual cheery tone.
"GAHH!" Kyou exclaimed when he saw her, automatically trying to hide the papers he was working on. Tohru moved closer and looked over his shoulder.
"What's that?" She said, peeking here and there as Kyou tried to hide it.
"It's nothing, I was jus—Hey give it back!" He complained, trying to get the paper back from Tohru's hands. Tohru ran away while trying to read the papers. Turns out it was a card.
"To Kazuma-kun…" she read before Kyou took it away. She turned to face a flushed Kyou, with a teasing smile on her face. "A card? To Kazuma-san? Oh for father's day!"
"Yea…" Kyou said, not looking at Tohru's face. "I just figured that…He is the peson I grew up to know as my dad after all…after that--"
He froze mid-sentence, a horrid memory gushing into his mind
"It's all YOUR fault!"

" Your mother loved you MORE than anyone, and now she's killed herself because of you…."

"you ungrateful…"

"Please stop!"

"Kyou? Is anything wrong?" Tohru asked, looking worried at the expression on Kyou's face.
"Ahh..no don't worry about it," He said. "How about you. Aren't we gonna go visit your dad?"
"Later today I will, you can come if you want" She informed him. Her usual smile on her face, but her eyes lost their glow.
"She's nothing like her father"
"Yes, not a thing about her connects to her father."
"Is she really his daughter?"

"…earth to Tohru," Kyou joked around while waving his hands in front of Tohru's face.
"Huh?"
" You okay?"
"Yea…"
Both of them continued on with their work in silence. Tohru cleaned the dishes, while Kyou made his card.
Complete silence. Scissors snipping. Water running….and finally Kyou speaking
"I guess memories connected to our fathers aren't very good ones, huh?" He said moving up to Tohru. Tohru just looked down at the dishes and muttered a 'yea…'
"Well at least we know one thing," he told her. He slowly put his hand on her belly.
Her swollen belly.
"We're sure that I'm gonna be the best dad to this child."
Tohru laced her hand over his. Then she looked up at him and gave him a smile.
"Yea…the best in the world."
