That doesn't discount the fact that I want to put a bullet through some people's heads.

[ Resentful sigh. ]

Whatever. I hope you do know that now that I'm in your life, even if past is past you have no choice but to let me in. This time I won't let anything unfair happen to you.

[ Even if that means stopping you from making stupid decisions, Hikaru >:( ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[That makes him smile a little at that, and the reason why he looks away from you and focuses, for a moment, on his cigarette is because he's honestly overwhelmed by the feeling he gets after hearing your words.

It'll never cease to amaze him, how warm and loving people could be.]

I'll try not to regret making you my daughter, then.

[therealbrianna]

[ Scrunching her nose at him before breaking into a smile. ]

Geez, you better not, or else! [ Jokingly huffing and crossing her arms. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[Well, she certainly seems to be better.]

Are you okay now?

[Always and ever concerned, this one.]

[therealbrianna]

[ A sad sigh, which then turns into a sad pout. ]

A little... [ She trails off. There's still some bitterness in there. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[Well, now you're going to have him shifting over to reel you gently in with one arm. The better to plant a kiss on your forehead, right?]

I'm okay. It's always going to turn out okay.

[therealbrianna]

[ She slightly dips her head down to make it easier for Hikaru, then looks back up at him. ]

I'm optimistic that they will. Specially since I'm around. I love you, okay daddy?

[icarusalsoflew]

I know you do. And I thank you for that.

[He means it, even if it's hard not to look a little sad. He's still convinced, in many ways, that loving him is a bad idea.

He respects your decision, though, as he respects the decisions that every other person in positions similar to or exactly like yours have made. It isn't his choice to make: he's learning to understand that.]

[therealbrianna]

No need to thank me.

[ She means that. Though it's Brianna's choice to feel that way for her daddy, somehow... Things just fell into place. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

[He'll just smile at her there, because he's one to believe that gratitude should always be given, in whatever form.]

Anyway, I've got to go on duty soon. I can walk you back to your house, if you like.

[therealbrianna]

[ She returns his smile with one of her own, and a reassuring squeeze on the hand. ]

I'd like that.
