the joy of loving you || satzu

tw //chapter five

"Tzuyu-ya I'm home!" Sana yelled as she ran into the house with a huge smile. "Look, I picked up the good candy for the trick or treaters!"

"That's great babe," Tzuyu sighed. "I'm sure they'll love it." Sana walked over to her wife and gave her a kiss on the corner of her lips.

"Why do you hate Halloween so much? You didn't used to, it used to be your favorite." Sana sighed. "It all started three years ago, what happened?"

"I told you, I took the kids out trick or treating and Saki got lost," Tzuyu sighed. "Anyway, my flight leaves in a few hours."

"Must you take my youngest baby with you? Kihyun is going trick or treating with his friends this year and asked me to not tag along."

"I'm sorry, you know how my dad is, we have a conference every year on the thirty first and he wants me to take both of the kids so they can get a feel for what it's like to run the company." Tzuyu kissed her wife again.

"Well at least you only take one at a time," Sana sighed.  "Anyway, I'm going to go finish putting up decorations."

"I'll be in Saki's room helping her pack." Sana nodded and gave Tzuyu another kiss before running off. Tzuyu sighed and got off the couch, going upstairs to her daughter's purple bedroom. "Saki?" Tzuyu asked as she knocked. "Can I come in?"

"Yeah," She heard someone sniffle and she came in to see her eight year old lying in bed with tears on her small face.

"This time of year getting you down?"

"Why my little sister? Of all the younger sisters in the world, why mine?" Saki wiped her tears. "Anyway, why are you here Dad?"

"Just wanted to make sure you were packed angel," Tzuyu went over to her daughter's side and stroked her hair.

"Yeah, I am," Saki sighed. "Mom asked why there was so much black in my suitcase."

"Your mom, she just couldn't, when your sister left-"

"Dad I know," Saki sighed. "What happened to her wasn't fair."

"It wasn't, just sometimes the universe has to be mean to you because it was nice to you at a different time." Tzuyu sighed.

"Sometimes I find myself wondering what she would be like, I have the whole character drawn out and everything," Saki laughed. "Sometimes I wonder if she's still alive somewhere."

"Saki," Tzuyu sighed. "You know she's not."

"I know, Ms. Lee made me accept that the first week you made me start going to her." Saki sighed. "I've gotten a lot better dad, and I don't like lying to mom, so can we stop with the therapy?"

"Two more months okay? Give it two more months."

"Okay," Saki groaned. "But you have to take me surfing before we leave Taiwan."

"Fine, but I'm staying on shore."

"Deal," Saki grinned. "I'll go pack my board." Saki got out of bed only for Tzuyu to wrap her arms around her.

"Thank you for being so strong for me, I love you."

"I love you too daddy," Saki whispered back.

Nico carefully reached into the guard in front of her's pocket. She had waited awhile, watching the guards pockets to see where they kept there phones. This guard was the easiest target, he had a large phone and it was in his back pocket. He was walking her back to her cell, and she had made sure to walk a few steps behind. She could feel the gazes from people in other cells as she walked, there were too many looks of disgust. Nico felt sick. She carefully lifted the phone out of the guards pocket once they had turned a corner. She put it in her shirt, tucked into the waistband of her underwear. It was gross, but at it was her only option. She just hoped it stayed. Once Nico was back in her cell, the guard grumbled as she waved him off with a sly grin.
 
"Okay, so my favorite color is pink, what about you?" Her cell mate asked.

"I haven't seen many colors," Nico pouted, her arm over her eyes.

"Well, I think you would like pink," Momo laughed.

"We'll see," Nico sighed. "I got the phone."

"You did? God your the best," Momo laughed. "I've been planning this for five years and this is the first time something actually worked. I've been trying to get a phone for years."

"Well uh, your welcome?" Nico laughed. "I don't know how I'm going to get it to you though."

"I have an idea, slid it across the floor, I'll try to reach it with my arm." Nico nodded and got the phone out from under her torn hospital gown. She took a deep breath before sliding through the bars.

"Alright, thank you Nico," Momo whispered as she reached forward. The phone was just out of her reach, so she pushed her arm impossibly further and her fingers touched it.

"Hey! Hey you!" The two froze as they heard a guards voice. Nico ran to the back of the small cell and curled into a protective ball. "What's this? A phone?" Nico yelped as she heard her friend get beat in the cell next to her.

"Oh Nicolette," She heard another, much more terrifying voice mutter. "I was going to give you break, then you go and pull a stunt like this?"

"She didn't do anything!"

"Can it mutant," he snapped. "I'm talking to my little pet," Nico nodded her head and felt tears prick the corner of her eyes. She heard her cell open and felt an arm  roughly pull hers. "Now be a good girl and come with me, pet." Nico looked over at Momo as she was bragged away. She mouthed an 'I'm sorry' before screwing her eyes shut so she didn't have to catch anyone else's gaze.
