”I heard his majesty has adopted Kyusaku, Elise’s friend right?” Fukuzawa asked.
Mori turns his head smiling at Fukuzawa, “That is true! Every child deserves a parent after all.”
Fukuzawa hums at that. “Where’s.. your young lady I was supposed to meet?”
Mori snaps his fingers at that, “I knew I was forgetting something, Elise, dear! Come meet daddy’s friend!”
Elise, a young girl with blond curlys, a pink bow and pink overalls peaks out of the bedroom.
Elise thinks of all the times she’s had to hear her dad cry over the loss of her mother and her ex-step father the pain the suffering. So now that her dad has a friend..
A friend.. maybe a new daddy since Zai couldn’t do it.. no.. a 17 year old would never be able to fill the whole of a parent. But.. it worked.. and it lasted for a year at best.
She’s very thankful. No maybe not thankful, nothing can describe the intensity of feeling.
Though as a little girl, she puts theatrics before her feelings. Deciding to be dramatic.
Elise eyes widen in realization, Fukuzawa looks just like the knights in the stories Mori tells her.
Without thinking much, she leaps into Fukuzawa’s arms. “Are you going to be my new daddy!!”
The White-Haired man’s eyes look solely back and forth from the blonde to the raven haired.
Fukuzawa picks Elise up and the blonde puts them forehead to forehead. “Maybe.. One day I’ll be your father and you’ll have siblings of your own.”
Mori and Elise have very different responses to that.
Mori stutters turning into a blushing mess trying to form words.
The six year old on the other hand cheers. “Okay, Hi daddy!”
“Hi, daughter.” Fukuzawa says simply.
