"I cannot believe that Ren barely thought to introduce us to his dad! Especially since he was here right after the Kamoshida incident." Ann angrily huffed hot air as her arms were crossed.

"Don't be so harsh on him, Takamaki-san. Surely, he had a reason for why he has just decided to make the introductions." Yusuke tried to calm down the irritated Ann with a sense of understanding.

"I don't know, keeping his dad hidden from us is kind of suspicious. Ren isn't the type to keep something away from us." Makoto shared her agreement with Ann's feelings.

"Thank you, Nijima-san! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of it like that!" The part-time model appreciated the support of her intelligent bestie.

Yusuke simply sighed. "Let's just wait and see what Ren has to say."

"Well it better be a good one." Ann muttered.

The knock at Ann's door quickly got her off her couch, speed walking in the process so she could confront her leader on why he decided to keep his father's presence a secret.

"You better have a-"

All of the hostility she held for her leader was killed the second she laid eyes on the person that was waiting on the other side.

"Well, isn't that an interesting way to greet your guest." The beautiful man with turquoise hair and feminine makeup chastised in a curious tone, a small smile donning his lips.

The part-time model did not respond as she couldn't do anything but stare at the man whose beauty transcended beyond the bright blue sky.

His hair was long and fabulous, holding no weakness anywhere in it's flawless strands. His eyes sparkled as bright as the world's most expensive gems. His lips were just at the perfect amount of ripe, covered nicely in a layer of glossy pink. His feminine features were placed in just the right places that made his face so mesmerizing for the naked eye, topped off with a mole resting underneath his left lower eyelid.

"Unless you're planning to become a future fly catcher, I would appreciate it if you would let us in."

Ren's joking remark was the invisible slap to the face that immediately snapped Ann out of her trance, releasing an embarrassed yelp in the process.

"S-Sorry! You can come in now!" She apologized as she moved aside for her guests.

Ren, Ryuji, and the man who was beauty incarnate, walked into Ann's apartment. The Phantom Thieves that were waiting inside quickly took note of the man who was impossibly beautiful.

"Ren… who is this?" Makoto asked as she felt her heart pound a little bit more quickly to the sight of the man whose beauty was unreal.

"Yes, who is he!?" Yusuke demanded in a tone that didn't sound hostile but desperate. He needed to create a piece of this breath-taking man immediately!

Ren felt a mix of disgust and awkwardness coursing through him. He wasn't oblivious nor unfamiliar with the reactions people had whenever it was their first time seeing his father. But they sure as hell were weird to sit through.

("This is bringing me some very bad PTSD of all the girls at my old-school calling dad a 'class-S' DILF.") The son of Aphrodite felt his gut churn to the disgusting remarks his female classmates said about his father's attractiveness.

He quickly took in and released a calming breath to better endure his growing disgust. Now was not the time to dwell on the past.

"Guys," Ren began as he stood next to his father ",I would like to introduce you to my dad."

"HE'S YOUR DAD!?" Ann screamed with wide, nearly comical eyes and an agape mouth.

"HE'S YOUR FATHER!?" Yusuke yelled as his pupils instantly got dilated. Along with his imagination and motivation receiving further stimulation.

"Is he actually your dad?" Makoto asked, requiring further confirmation about this reveal. It made her extremely curious how this beautiful man shared any features to the leader of the Phantom Thieves.

"Yes," The father in question confirmed as he placed his spread hand on his chest ",I proudly am the father of this sweet, and noble young man."

Ren groaned in embarrassment, covering his flushed face with one of his hands. "Dad, you did not have to call me sweet as if I were still 5 years old."

"Ren, you will forever and always be my sweet little boy. And I will call you as such until the day I die." The Pisces Saint proudly declared, sending his little boy a smile filled with nothing but pure fatherly love.

As mush as Ren adored hearing his father expressing the vast amount of love he had for him, he hoped that he wouldn't express it in front of his friends.

He was not ready to endure those embarrassing moments he has seen from parents showering their children with affection in front of company.

Especially if said company was their friends.

Meanwhile, Makoto and Ann smiled softly at the love Ren's father expressed to his son. It was one of the sweetest and cutest things the girls had ever witnessed.

The former, however, felt a heavy ping of envy in her heart.

As a girl that has looked up to her older sister, one of her deepest desires was to see her express the pride she had for her younger sister's achievements as the top student of the academy.

Hearing her praise once, at least once, would be a godsend…

"Are you alright there, Nijima-san?" Ren asked to the brain of the team who seemed to be a little lost in her thoughts.

Her half lidded eyes snapped open as her senses were brought back. "Yeah… it's just that, none of us were expecting your dad to look like this."

A pleasant sounding chuckle was the father's response. "The reaction is understandable. And I don't necessarily blame you, he takes more after his mother in terms of appearance." The beautiful man then placed a hand on his chest. "But make no mistake that at the end of the day, he is my son."

Ann smiled to the large amount of pride Ren's father held for being a father of one.

"We'll keep that in mind, sir." She declared with a quick nod of her head, the rest also agreeing.

The beautiful man sent the young model an appreciative smile.

"So, what would you guys like to know about my dad?" Ren decided begin the day whatever questions his friends had about his father.

And he was not surprised who the first contender was.

"Is he interested in being the attraction of my next piece?" Yusuke desperately asked.

Aphrodite cocked one of his brows to the boy's enthusiasm that sounded borderline desperate.

His son sure got an odd group of friends.
