My mountain man (Ryan x female reader story) - Life is Strange: True Colors

You talk to your dad in your dream

It's been a few hours since you and Ryan took you to the landscape from your drawing and since you two had your first kiss and you both became a couple. It's in the middle of the night, you and Ryan are still sleeping. You were dreaming while you were asleep. In the dream, you were at a beautiful park in Japan surrounded with a bunch of cherry blossom trees, you were sitting under one of the cherry blossom trees near a river, you were listening to music from your phone while you were writing in your journal. While you were writing in your journal, someone was near you but you didn't see because you were too busy writing. The person tapped you on your shoulder, you paused the music from your phone and you took off the earbuds from your ears and you looked up at the person. The person was your father (also, this is giving me The Walking Dead Telltale Finale Season EP3 vibes when Clem talks to Lee in her dream 🥺).

(Your father's name): "Hey sweetie." *he smiles at you*

(Your name): "Dad?"

(Your father's name): "So, you decided to pick Japan, huh?"

(Your name): "Yeah, I did. This was and still is one of my most favorite adventures we've had together."

(Your father's name): "Mine too. That was a very good memory. I remember the day we tried those dumplings at that one restaurant."

(Your name): "I loved them." 

(Your father's name): *he chuckles* "You sure did. You even asked for a second order of them." 

(Your name): *you chuckle along with your father* 

(Your father's name): "So, you're living in Haven Springs, Colorado, huh?"

(Your name): "Yes, I am."

(Your father's name): "What do you think of it?"

(Your name): "I love it. I love it a lot. The people there are so nice and kind and they never judge me for anything. For who I am or what I love to do. I feel like I'm more happy there and it really feels like home."

(Your father's name): "I'm glad to hear that. It's always feels nice to be somewhere where it feels like home and feel like you really belong. As I was watching over you, I saw how happy you are. I never seen you so happy, well, besides the adventures we've been on." *he smiles and chuckles*

(Your name): *you chuckle as he says that* 

(Your father's name): "And whenever you would tell your friends about me, my story and your story, it would always make me happy that you still love me and you still think about me." 

(Your name): "Of course, dad. I will never forget you. I think about you everyday and I always will." 

(Your father's name): *he smiles as you say that* "Also, while I was watching you perform my favorite song at the Spring Festival, I got emotional. A happy kind of emotional, of course. I felt so happy when you sang Counting Stars."

(Your name): "I'm so glad you loved it when I performed. Especially that I sang your favorite song. I even remember the first day I listened to it and I became obsessed with it just like you were." *you smile and chuckle*

(Your father's name): *he chuckles* "I remember that day. You were only 5 years old and we both listened to it so much that your mother got tired of it." 

(Your name): *you chuckle* "Those were the good days."

(Your father's name): "They sure were." *he smiles* "Anyway, tell me about your new friends." 

(Your name): "Well, I've made lots of new friends. Alex is really kind and pretty awesome. She has a nice taste in music and she loves to play guitar."

(Your father's name): "She does seem cool! What about Steph?"
