I own nothing. Duh duh. It continues!
Song 17: Believe
"That was your father," Joshua stated as he and Neku trailed behind Shiki, Eri, Beat and Rhyme as they headed towards the ice ring.
Neku nodded. "Yeah I'm actually surprised that he came home. I figured he wouldn't have listened to me."
Joshua shrugged. "He's your father. What other reason does he need?"
Neku scowled. "I use to ask every year after mom died. Then… I just stopped. It never seemed to get through to him."
"Are you going to even him a chance?" Joshua asked, curious.
Neku fell silent for a moment. The ice ring was coming into view. "I guess. Expand my world right? Can't really cut him out without letting him try."
Joshua chuckled. Then, out of the corner of Joshua's eye he saw something. A whimsical smile appeared on his face. "Say Neku," Joshua started, "Do you believe in Christmas miracles?"
Neku stared at him. "Well I suppose now I do. Dad came home. Never thought I would live to see the day. Figured I would die first," he said dryly.
The irony of that statement was not lost on Joshua. "Just keep believing in them then."
Neku raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about Josh?"
"Just believe," was Joshua only response.
