Kyles POV

I held Aria in my arms tightly. She's the best thing that's ever happened to me, I don't want to loose her.

"Daddy, put me down, please."

"Huh? Oh... Ok." I put Aria dont like she asked. She looks a little sleepy, now. It is past her bed time, anyhow.

"Daddy, can I sleep in my room by myself, please?"

I looked at my daughter, surprised.

"What? Why?"

She looked at Barrett and flinched when he looked back at her.

"B-because, I... I really like my room," and with that, she left the room quickly and walked into the next one, which was of course hers.

I turned around and laughed a bit.

"What's so funny?" Barrett asked me.

"I think my daughter's afraid of you."

"Me? Why?"

"I don't know. Maybe because we were kissing? She could have thought that you were forcing me, or something."

"So she thought I was trying to rape you?"

"Shhhh! Barrett! She's in the very next room!"

"Heheh, sorry..."

Barrett walked over to me and kissed my forehead. I blushed a bit.

"W-well, i have to go and help her with her PJs..."

I quickly kissed Barrett on the cheek and walked out into the hall, and into Aria's room. She was sitting on her bed, with her purple PJs that were very similar to my gray ones.

I helped her put on her sleep wear and I put her other clothes in a net pile on the floor. I'll go wash them later on or something.

She snuggled into the covers and smiled. "Daddy, could you read me a story, please?"

"Of course! Which story would you like me to read to you, sweetie?"

"One about a princess, please?"

"Okie dokie," I said, as I got out one of her favorite books that was about a regular old princess. I started to read her the story, starting with the 'Once upon a time,' and continuing telling her about a prindess that was known throught the village she lived in. After a couple pages to the end, Aria had already fallen asleep, so there was really no need to read any more aloud. I set the book down on top of her dresser, kissed her forehead, and whispered, "Good night, sweetie."

I walked back out into the hall, and into the room that I left Barrett in. He was sitting on the bed, obviously sleepy. "Sorry, Barrett," I said as I sat down next to him, "I always read her stories before she goes to sleep."

"That's ok... You're a good father,"

Barrett leaned over and kissed me once again on the cheek. I blushed. "W-well, I guess I should get into my own PJs, huh?" I laughed a bit and got up. Barrett got up as well, and slid his hands up my shirt. Of course, I blushed at the touch that I was not familiar with.

"Let me help, Kyle."

My face went red, not like that was a surprise.

"S... Sure..."

"If you don't want me to, I won't. I won't be upset or anything... We can take things a little slower, if you'd like." Barrett kissed me again, on the forehead.

"N-no, I want you to, it's just... I'm not used to this... But... Maybe I should tell Mana first...?"

A few moments passed before Barrett said anything.

"... Maybe she doesn't need to know."

"But she's my wife..."

"And I'm your lover."

"..."

I looked down at my feet. Barrett stroked his soft fingers through my hair, and I closed my eyes. I feel like a kitten being softly petted for the first time with their new owner. I want to stay like this with him forever...

"You must be really tired, Kyle..."

"K...Kinda..."

Barrett smiled.

I went to go get my PJs on, not caring where my other clothes went. I tried to put them in a 'neatish' pile near the dresser, but, it'll still be a mess, no matter what I do. I'll worry about it in the morning. Barrett was already in bed, but I don't even know if he's fallen asleep yet.

I slowly got into bed next to him, pulled the covers up to my mouth, and buried my face in Barrett's chest. He's so warm... I probably don't even need a blanket.

I felt his arms wrap around me and I relized that he haden't fallen asleep yet. He pulled me a bit closer and I smiled.

"Barrett... I... Love you..."

"And I'll always love you, Kyle."

I closed my eyes and quickly feel asleep. I can't wait to get up in the morning and tell him 'I love you' again... I just hope that... I'll be able to tell Mana...Without hurting her... Somehow...

Humming Witch: ... Kyle's not the neatest person, as you can see by him leaving his clothes on the floor and his daughter's clothes on the floor, and what the hell even happened to Barrett's clothes? Bah. "BAH, CLOTHES! WHO NEEDS CLOTHES?" As said by Jumbo from the Yotsuba manga. Sorry. I just had to do that.

Yup. Barrett was so ready to be all, "KYLE, LET'S DO IT. NAO." But, this won't be yaoi, so... ^_^ But, I guess there will be some 'yaoish' stuff in here soon, so... Hmm... I DON'T KNOW YET. BLAHBLAHBLAH. Hope ya liked this chapter! :3 More to come soon, hopefully~
