7. A Father's Woe – Pure, unadulterated humour. (240 words)


Kosuke did not want to think that the excruciatingly long and painful process of getting Emiko to like Satoshi was for naught. During times like this, however… it took great amounts of optimism and strength not to lose hope.

Daisuke was most definitely dense. Like a rock. Perhaps much worse. It was painfully obvious that Satoshi liked him… in fact, Kosuke had even gone so far as to give the Hikari his blessing, right in front of his son. And yet… Daisuke still didn't seem to get it, even when Emiko, Daiki, Towa and Wizu did. He didn't notice anything, not even when Emiko tearfully gave a painfully mushy assent.

Did the words "I'm counting on you to take care of Daisuke" and "My Dai-chan really is growing up" not strike any form of suspicion in the red-head's brain?

The current Niwa sort-of-patriarch sighed. If he felt this way, he wondered how Satoshi coped with anything.

Then again… it's not like Satoshi was the brightest crayon in the box when it came to matters like this, either…

Just because Daisuke isn't as forward about it…

Kosuke, once again, let out a long-suffering sigh.

Kosuke loved his son; but sometimes, it was just too painful to watch him so innocently oblivious to Satoshi's advances, with the latter self-doubtedly ignorant of Daisuke's own interest.

Somehow, Kosuke felt that this was going to take a long, long time.

He hoped he was wrong.


Well, that's it for Interludes... Unless I get a strange plot bunny one of these days. In any case, for anyone who's read "Hiri" and are looking for the continuation... I've decided to leave it as a one-shot. It was meant to be a one-shot anyway -- the only reason I've considered to put a part two or anythng was because some of my friends thought it'd work out. Well, most who reviewed agreed with my sentiments of not continuing it; plus... I tried making a sequel and it wasn't up to par. So... yeah. Sorry to those who were expecting a continuation.
