Papa?
Haruka turned to see Hotaru frozen in place, though she just smiled and arched a brow at her.
"Papa?" she questioned, smiling slightly before scooping the little girl up into her arms.
"Well I suppose that fits does it?" She stated playfully.
Hotaru, who had been about to appologize a minute ago now found herself laughing as Haruka spun her around.
"You don't mind?"
she asked, looking up at the blonde who wrinkled her nose in response at the question before answering
"well...I am confused but No, I don't mind. You hink of me as a Papa hen that is what I will be."
Haruka responded with a grin, pressing a kiss against Hotaru's cheek before sitting her back on the ground.
"now let your Mama and me finish fishing away those stuborn weeds then we'll all play together, Okay kitten?"
Michiru watched the exchange and smiled as Haruka returned to working beside her.
"You were worried for nothing. She adores you."
she stated as Hotaru and Setsuna continued their game.
"I still have time to fuck things up."
Haruka whispered back, earning a sigh from Michiru.
"Haruka, you don't have a mean bone in your body let alone the same emotionlessness that your parents had. If you were going to backhand someone it would be Junjun and Vesves when they ride your case relentlessly."
Michiru retorted, nudging her lover before adding
"besides you love Hotaru."
