Feeling Emotions |Takashi Morinozuka|

Duckie and Dad

Hi lovelies! This chapter will be written in 3rd person point of view, for good reason.

---------------------------------------------------------

After the trio exited the plane, both introductions and tear-filled reunions occurred. They then made their way to the car for a short trip to Zafi's house. Both Tamaki and Mori decided to settle in and take a short nap, while Zafi caught up with her dad.

"So, Duckie, how's life in Japan?" Her father asked, sounding interested.

Zafi sighed, "It's... interesting, to say the least."

"What exactly do you mean?"

"Well, " she leaned against the counter at the same time that Tamaki peaked around the corner, going unnoticed. " I have Tamaki back and that's amazing, but he's apart of the host club, and that doesn't matter so much as all the... trouble they cause."

Her fathers eyebrows furrowed and Tamaki walked away shaking his head, worried that they had been too much of a bother.

" Do you mean you don't like this host club?" Her father questioned.

"No! Not at all." She panicked, thinking she had given the wrong impression. " I care for them all, they've done nothing but treat me with kindness. Though some of them may act very rude most of the time, that doesn't mean that I hate them. Most of the time, I feel like I don't do enough for them. It's kind of like a debt that I can never repay."

Her father looked at Zafi with understanding. " Sometimes they don't want to be repayed, all they really want is to be cared for in return. You talk about these kids like they're your saviors."

"A lot of the time they are," She blushed. "Some more than others."

Her father raised his eyebrows at her. "Duckie, you've got it bad."

She snorted, playing it off. " No, no way. Not possible, nope."

He shook his head at her, smirking all the while. " Whoa, in denial too? Whose my baby girl falling for?"

Zafi shook her head, hair falling into her eyes. " It doesn't matter daddy. He doesn't like me as much as I do him, i'm sure of it."

His laughter billowed through the kitchen, reminding Zafi of a time where life was so much easier. "You're insane, more mentally gone than I am."

She furrowed her eyebrows at him, hunching over and looking at the counter. She shook her head, as if to say that she disagreed with him.

He pulled his daughter into a hug, resting his head on top of hers. "If this boy doesn't like you as much as you do him, then for one he's crazy. You're insanely pretty, you've got the wackiest personality I've ever experienced. On the other hand, he's not worth it if he doesn't think you're great just the way you are."

She smiled and pulled away from the hug. "Thanks daddy, but I better go check on the boys."

He nodded at the young girl and waited until she turned around to say, "Don't be afraid to tell Takashi that you like him, dear."

She turned around with eyes as wide as saucers and cocked her head to the side. Her dad was too busy browsing the cabinets to find something to snack on to look at her, but he knew exactly what his daughter would do.

"Don't think I didn't see you two, undressing each other with your eyes. Both of you, so unobservant. You can't even tell that you like each other. How ridiculous."

She deadpanned, "Okay dad. I really need to go check on the guys. See you."

"Bye, Duckie." She then dragged her feet up the stairs, slowly making her way to her brothers bedroom, where both of the boys were staying. She softly knocked on the door, not wanting to wake the boys if they were both asleep. She heard a barely there come in, so she obliged. She opened the door slowly. Mori seemed to be asleep with his back to the door on an old inflatable mattress that her parents saved for when visitors came to stay. Tamaki was leaning on his elbow squinting as if she had woken him. He shifted so there was room for her to lay next to him. She flopped onto her brother's bed and leaned her head onto Tamaki's shoulder.

"I heard what you told your dad earlier."

"What are you talking about?"

"When you said that we caused a lot of trouble."

"Oh." She started to giggle. "Well, I won't lie, you guys do."

"You could've just told us, you know."

"What the hell are you talking about, Tamaki?"

"To leave you alone, I mean."

At this Zafi really started to crack up, she tried to stay silent for the supposed sleeping Mori's sake. "Tamaki, If I had wanted you all to leave me alone, I would have said so, you dipshit. You all keep me busy, but it's for the best, and I love you guys for it."

He breathed out, but Zafi could tell he was chuckling. "Okay." They were then silent for a while, until Tamaki brought up a new topic that nearly stunned Zafi into silence.

"Why don't you just tell Mori that you like him?"

She looked at the boy like he was bat shit insane. "How do you know about that?"

"You don't exactly try to hide it."

She sighed and paused for a minute. "Well, he knows that I like him, he just doesn't know how much I like him. Plus, I don't think that he feels as strongly as I do."

"Zafi, you and I both know that's bullshit. Just straighten your shit out, by the way, he's awake." He whispered the last part into her ear and got up and walked out of the room. Mori shifted so he smirked at the nervous girl. She narrowed her eyes at him and threw the recently abandoned pillow at his face.

"You let me think you were asleep." He shrugged at her. "Why?"

"I wanted to know what you wouldn't say to my face." He simply said.

"Oh."

"Come here." She shifted out of her brothers old bed and slowly stumbled over to his bed before laying beside him. He wrapped her in his arms and stared down at her. "Why would you ever think that?"

She shrugged not knowing what to say. He continued, "I bet I like you more than you like me."

"That's not possible." Is how she replied.

"Why the hell not?" He asked.

She peered up at him, trying to think of a way to phrase what she wanted to say so she didn't sound stupid. "Let's put it this way, You've been there for me when Tamaki couldn't be. You fuel my dumb antics, when we both know it could backfire. You support me even when I'm in the wrong. You always take my side. You say that you'll always stand by me, and I feel like I can believe you and I love it. I love you, I love everything about you, and everything you stand for, I love you so much it physically hurts."

"Well that's good."

"Why, why is that good."

"Because yes I fuel your dumb antics, and I will always stand by you. You're silly, and crazy, and funny, and slightly not quite there. But I love it, That's exactly why I love you. That's exactly why nobody else can have you, because you're my girlfriend and I love you and I always will love you more and more every day."

She smirked more than Spongebob when he found out that Squidward liked Krabby Patties. "I'm your girlfriend, huh?" She dragged out the word girlfriend purposely.

He nodded and looked her straight in the eye. "Nobody should ever convince you otherwise." She smirked. He leaned down and kissed her and she laughed into the kiss due to the door drifting open to show her father and Tamaki jumping up and down telling each other that they had called it.

Bye Beauties,
