Warnings: Cute dad/daughter moments. Spiders.
Colin was exhausted after a long day. As he jogged up the stairs to his apartment he was just looking forward to a cold bottle of beer and to hang out with his two favourite girls.
"Hey champ how's your day been?" He asks you as he walks into the apartment.
When he doesn't hear you answer he grabs himself a beer and goes to find you.
"Kiddo?" He calls out again as he walks through the apartment to your bedroom.
He knocks on your door before slowly opening it. He spots you sat on your bed in the corner of your room cell phone in hand.
"Hey, you alright?" He asks when he spots your grumpy expression.
"You were supposed to pick me up today" you grumble refusing to look at him.
"I know kiddo I'm sorry" he sighs moving in to sit on the end of your bed "rehearsal ran over and then we had a meeting"
"Whatever just go see ally" you grumble making him furrow his brows at you.
"Hey I thought you liked Ally" he asks earning a deep sigh from you.
"I do, it's just" you sigh putting your phone down and finally looking at him.
"I just miss when it was just us that's all, we used to hang out all the time but we don't anymore" you tell him.
"We hang out just last weekend I took you and Ally to that basketball game" he points out.
"Yeah me and Ally, don't get me wrong I like her but I don't want her to come all the time, I want to hang out with just you" you argue.
Colin sighs deeply, it had been a long time since he had spent the whole day with just you. He felt bad that you felt this way.
"Okay well that settles it, tomorrow you and I are having a day all to ourselves, we can do whatever you want" he says patting your knee as he stands back up.
"Can I finally dye my hair" you ask him.
"Maybe ask again tomorrow" he smirks "now pizza or Chinese?"
"Chinese" you smile.

The next day as promised Colin spent the entire day with you. First he took you to IHOP for pancakes since he knew it was one of your favourite places.
"So what do you wanna do on our daddy daughter day?" He asks in between mouthfuls.
"Can we go shopping?" You ask him hopefully.
"Fine but don't go crazy, just because the band is finally getting somewhere doesn't mean we're rich" he reminds you earning a small roll of your eyes.
"Can I dye my hair?" You ask again.
"Ask again later" he responds before shovelling more pancake in his mouth.
So the entire day Colin followed you around the shopping mall, holding the bags that you didn't want to carry. Giving his opinion even when you didn't want it.
"Whoa no, too short" he says when you step out of the changing room in a short skirt.
"Dad!" You groan loudly.
"Nope, I'm not paying for that" Colin presses shaking his head.
"Urgh fine" you complain stepping back inside the changing room.
He took you to both lunch and dinner to your favourite restaurants. It had been a great day, a long one but the nice kind. He was definitely ready to relax and go to bed though.
As he drove the two of you home he glanced over to spot you fast asleep in the passenger seat. He smiled to himself, you looked almost the exact same as when you were a little kid. He'd take you out on drives whenever you were being difficult because you loved watching the scenery and it would soon make you fall asleep.
When he pulled up outside the apartment building you still hadn't woken up. He turned off the engine climbing out of the car and walking over to your side. When he opened the door he nudged you gently waking you.
"C'mon wakey wakey, I know I'm strong but I'm not Captain America strong so I can't carry you and the bags up" he says as you slowly woke up.
"Fine" you mumble tiredly getting out of the car.
Once back in the apartment you headed straight off to bed. So Colin grabbed himself a beer and settled down in front of the TV.
A couple hours later he heard shuffling behind him, turning around he spots you shuffling into the kitchen to grab a glass to water.
"Hey what are you doing up?" He asks gently.
"Had a nightmare" you sigh taking a sip of your water.
"Wanna talk about it?" He asks standing up and walking over to you.
"No you'll just laugh" you sigh shaking your head.
"I won't laugh I promise" he says putting his hand over his heart.
"It was about spiders" you sigh and Colin had to suppress a laugh.
You have had a phobia of spider since you were a little kid. Colin assumed you'd grow out of it but he was wrong. Even now he'd have to catch the tiniest of spiders that decided to make their home in the shower.
"You said you wouldn't laugh" you complain moving to step past him.
"Alright, alright I'm sorry, it's okay" he chuckles putting his arm around you to stop you, pulling you into a comforting hug.
"Let's get you back to bed though, c'mon" he smiles leading you back to your room.
Once you has climbed back into bed Colin sat down and lay down beside you on top of the cover.
"Dad what are you doing?" You ask with a small chuckle.
"Same as I've always done, we're gonna chat until your mind is no longer on those evil spiders and you fall back asleep" he smiles "so what do you wanna talk about"
"Can I dye my hair?" You ask once more.
"Fine, but nothing drastic okay, I don't want you being sent home from school" he sighs finally giving in.
"Thanks, now tell me stories" you say moving to get comfortable.
"What kinda stories?" He asks.
"Any I'm not picky" you yawn.
Colin smiles to himself before doing what he was asked and tells you different stories. Ones from where you were a baby, ones from his childhood, any he could think of.
He was halfway through the story about how you lost your first tooth when he looked over at you to see you fast asleep. He smiled to himself before gently getting up, he pulls the covers up around you before kissing the top of your head.
"Night Kiddo" he smiles.
