Mine - Chapter 7

Warning: Most of it would be in a first-person perspective!

Soraru stopped to look over at the little girl seated across him. She stared at Soraru intently, a huge smile on her face. She started moving her tiny limbs around, going "And then? And then?" as she couldn't bear the suspension. Her eyes sparkled when he continued, as if they were filled with stars.

"Well, I love your mother a lot,"

The girl grinned, seemingly happy at what Soraru just said. She got down from the chair she was on, and walked over to Soraru, wanting to get back on his lap again even though it was only a few minutes since he put her down on that chair. He smiled wryly at her, shaking his head helplessly as he bent down to pick her up.

"Oof, here we go!" he made sure she sat properly before he patted her head, not forgetting to support her with a hand on her tiny little back. She was still but a child, after all.

"Mama loves you a lot, too!"

Soraru laughed.

"You think?"

She smirked.

"One hundred percent!" she placed her tiny little palm on Soraru's shoulder, patting him with assurance. She suddenly seemed shocked, and quickly put her hands over her mouth. Soraru asked her if something was wrong but she just shook her head.

"What is it?" he gently urged. The child looked around her surroundings, as if making sure there was no one else but her and Soraru then she inched closer to Soraru's ear to whisper something.

"Don't tell Mama I told you this," she stopped, and turned to look at the door. "Mama didn't seem to want you to know,"

Oh, but Soraru knew.

She put her forefinger close to her puckered lips, a gesture that meant to tell him to keep quiet about it. He chuckled softly at her adorable actions, and then he placed his own forefinger over his, imitating her gesture.

"Shiori!"

The child in Soraru's arms turned to the source of sound.

"Mama!!" she practically jumped down from Soraru's lap and ran over to her mother. He really hoped she realises how dangerous it was for her to do that. He should talk about it with her later.

"Shiori, what were you doing here in this room?" her mother got down to Shiori's eye level, and asked.

"Papa was telling me a story!"

Soraru stood up, and walked over to Shiori's mother, smiling at them as he did.

"... Papa?" Shiori's mother lifted her head up to look at Soraru, slowly straightening her back.

Soraru gave her a hug.

"I was just telling Shiori here about stuffs,"

Her mother pushed Soraru away in an arm's distance to look at Soraru's face as he says that.

"Stuffs?"

She sounded mad, and Soraru was really amused by her reaction. He looked over at Shiori, both of them grinned playfully at each other.

"It's a secret,"

They both said in unison.
