Giant stepfather

Playtime

In a flower field, Tyler sits on the floor with Dandara by his side among the flowers, the field have a beautiful and warm red and yellow palette, Ayana runs through the grass, not leaving her mother's vision

" She looks so cute playing with the flowers hah. "

The giant says observating the child with a smile on his face

" Haha yeah, she loves flowers, so this is heaven for her. "

The woman smiles too, Tyler looks at her, then he picks a tiny flower, and very carefully puts in Dandara's hair, she looks at him, her skin glows

" You look beautiful ~"

He smiles while blushing, Dandara stares at the giant in chock, and then laughs nervously

" Hahah awnn thank you! "

She says with a soft and shy tone while squeezing her hands

" Mr. Tyler! "

Ayana runs to the giant's direction, she stops beside him and ask happily with big and shining innocent eyes

" Can we play hide and seek together?!"

" Oh well I. . . I'm not so good at this game . . ."

He says while awkwardly smiling and brushing his head

" Pleeeease! Just a little!"

She pulls strongly the fabric of his pants, Dandara smiles and says

" Awn Tyler, you are good at hide and seek, I still remember the times we played."

The giant looks down at the woman, he then smiles and sighs

" Alright alright, let's play together!"

The giant picks the child by her shirt while he gets up, Ayana smiles with pure happiness and excitement

" Are you going to play too Dandara? "

" Oh! No no, I'm going to stay here a bit hah! "

" Hah Okay darling ~"

He says while starting to walk, the floor and the flowers around trembling with each of his steps, Dandara observes the giant walking, her face getting warm as she gets more embarrassed

"(( Did he. . . Did he just called me darling?. . .)) "

.
.

" Alright, I'm going to count okay? "

Tyler says to Ayana sitting on his palm, she answers excitedly jumping with a lot of energy

" Okay! "

" Haha then go hide! "

The giant carefully puts her on the grass, the child starts runing, Tyler smiles and covers his eyes with his hand

" 1. . . 2. . . 3 . . .4 . . .5. . . 6. . ."

Dandara watches them, smiling, with a thoughtful and distant look in her eyes

" (( Ayana probably sees him as a father figure already. . . he's so gentle and lovable with her. . . she seems so happy. . . ))

" 8. . . 9 . . .10."

The giant opens his eyes, he looks around, he quickly spots Ayana moving and giggling behind a bush at the start of a small forest with big trees nearby, the trees reach the height of the giant's shoulders, so it's not hard for him to find the little girl. Suddenly, Tyler feels a bit weird, a feeling like adrenalin, a yellow circle appears around his pupil, he grins eyes glazed over the bush, the giant steps get heavier, everything close to him trembles, he gets closer to the bush, the giant man gets to one knee, looking directly at the little girl, with a big smile on his face

" Found you. "

He says in a deep and heavy tone, his hand coming to grab the child, but Ayana doesn't feel scared, she thinks Tyler still playing, so she laughs and starts to run more further in the forest before he could get her, the giant goes after her, kicking and pushing the trees out of his way, Ayana runs faster, she looks back at the giant, looking at his maniac face, slowly realizing that he's not playing anymore. Dandara watches from far away, confused

" Wha- What it's he doing? . . .this is not normal. . ."

The worried and scared woman gets up and starts to run to the forest direction

" Come back here little one! "

The giant says with his voice echoing through the forest, Ayana starts to feel really scared, the deafening sound of the giant heavy steps, the trees getting ripped out, and his deep voice makes the child run more in desperation

" M-Mr. Tyler! T-This is not funny anymore! "

The girl screams with a shaky voice, she looks back, and trips on her feet, Ayana falls face down on the dirt, the giant massive foot stomps strongly and heavily right by her side, not hitting her by inches, the child screams and starts to cry loudly, the giant looks down at her, his big smile starts to disappear as he hears her screams and sobbing

" W-What have I done?. . ."

The yellow circle fades away in his green eyes, Tyler looks at Ayana, and immediately feels guilty, his eyes soften with his eyebrows frowning with worry

" Ayana. . ."

The giant kneels down, and gently scoops up the child with his hands, bringing her close to his eye level

" I'm so sorry sweetie. . . Did I hurted you? Are you okay? "

He analyses the child's small body, he notices her dirty face, she had scratched her knees too

" Oh God. . . look at you. . . I'm really sorry sweetie. . ."

Tyler tries to clean her face with his thumb, that it's away bigger than her head, she still scared, but she stay still, looking at the giant with innocent and fearful eyes, Tyler looks back at her, guilt stamped on his face

" I'm sorry. . ."

He stares at the child, his eyes watering, then he presses the girl against his chest

" Ayana! "

Dandara finally arrives, she stops behind the giant, looking at him with fear and worry, Tyler looks back, and sees the woman, making her meet with his tearful guilty eyes

" Dandara. . . I'm sorry. . . I. . .I lost control again. . . But. . .But she's okay. . ."

He lowers his hand close to the woman, showing Ayana laying on his palm

" Mommy! "

She jumps hugging her mother, Dandara still in chock and confused, she holds her daughter, and looks up at Tyler, kneeling in front of her with tears rolling down his face

" I-I'm really sorry Dandara. . . I swear I didn't wanted to hurt her in any type of way but I just. . . I just lost all the control over myself. . . Please believe me I-I'll learn to control it better just- "

" Tyler. . . It's okay. . . you didn't harmed her. . . And I believe that you didn't act that way on purpose. . . But that was really dangerous. . . "

" I-I know. . . I promise I'll do my best to that not happen again. . ."

He stares at the woman, begging for forgiveness with his eyes, Dandara sighs, and says

" Okay. . . Let's go home, I need to give her a bath. . ."

" Of course. "

He gently grabs the humans while getting up, and starts to walk, still feeling guilty and worried.
