Title: It's All In The Cards

Character POV: Touichi

Genre: Angst

Life can be easy,

Or it can be hard,

Most of the time,

It's what you choose to do,

That makes life easy,

But sometimes,

You just have to expect that,

It's all in the cards.

Sometimes you just can't do anything about it.

You just have to take what was comes,

Whether it be good or bad.

Hopefully,

You have someone by your side.

To help you,

If the cards,

Deal you a bad hand.

You will have someone,

Who will have your back,

Com what may.

That's what I wanted to be for Ara,

Kaito too,

Until he realized his feelings for Aoko at least.

But the cards dealt me to bad a hand,

And I lost my life because of it.

I tried to be strong,

For my sweet little angel.

I took all the trails,

That came with the job of being KID.

I played my hand,

I used Poker Face,

And I lost.

I guess it just wasn't in the cards for me.

But for my son,

It can be different.

He will play Poker Face,

And he will overcome the hand,

Because I taught him well.

So please my son,

Watch over your mother,

And make Aoko happy.

Do what I couldn't,

And maybe,

Just maybe,

The cards will deal in your favor.
