\"Hello father, hello mother,\" Azusa instantly greeted upon seeing her parents.
Once again her mother was peeling some fruits for her father. Layla upon seeing her daughter couldn't help but to check the time.
She furrowed her brows before looking at Azusa, \"What happened? Is there something wrong? This is much earlier from your usual visit.\"
Azusa smiled, \"No mother, there's someone who wants to meet father.\"
That's when Layla and Leo realized that there is someone else in the room, behind Azusa.
Mamoru smiled as he bowed in a very gentlemanly manner, \"Good day ma'am, sir.\"
Layla was firt taken a back for the sudden visit of Mamoru before she realized the reason why Mamoru came. She could only shake her head, she can obviously see just how nervous this man is. But seeing as he and Azusa are here in a time which is very different from Azusa's usual visit, she knew that this decision was spontaneous.
Leo looked at Mamoru intently, he was trying to remember where did he meet this fiung man. Soon the answer naturally came up in his mind, he then smiled at Mamoru, \"You've grown, Mamoru.\"
Mamoru was taken a back by finding out that Leo actually knew him. Seeing this reaction Leo understood the reason behind it as he smield once again.
\"Of course I've met all of you back when you were just kids. Though I suppose none of you remembers that. You were pretty young back then. Plus I can also put your parents togetehr in order to find out who their children are.\"
Upon saying this, he gave a chuckle, \"And I just realized it now. All of us only had a child. Well I suppose except for Akihiro. To think that the twins were actually born and alive. Even now Haruka is expecting. Ah I'm used it not using their titles when I'm speaking with those close with them.\"
All three have their brows furrowed. Layla and Azusa had theirs because, for the first time in a long while, Leo actually spoke a lot. Even in front of Akihiro and Yukimura, he barely speaks. Maybe because of the fact that he was talking about his friends, that is why he could speak so much.
Mamoru had his because it didn't escape his hearing, Leo only said Akihiro's three children. Eureka was not among them. But seeing as Layla and Azusa were not reacting or pointing it out, he chose to keep it to himself and just ask Azusa about it later.
\"To still be remembered by you sir Leo, it is indeed my pleasure,\" he calmed himself and replied with a smile.
Leo fell silent as he looked at the two of them, from Mamoru to Azusa then back to Mamoru.
\"Is what I'm thinking the same as the reason why you are suddenly here?\"
Mamoru once again had his heart beats fast. That's right, there is a real reason why they are there.
'Those guys sure are lucky, they've already went past this stage.'
He was really glad that Leo was alive, it's just he thought this moment would actually come for him.
He could only firm his resolve and take a deep breath before once again seriously looking at Leo.
Seeing this look, Leo couldn't help but to sit up straight. The way Mamoru look, feels like he was about to confess to him instead of asking his permission for him to date Azusa.
\"Please allow me to date Azusa,\" Mamoru seriously said as he bowed down.
\"You're not yet dating?\" Leo asked.
Mamoru stood up straight once again, he looks completely flustered, \"N- No, That is... I.. We...\"
Azusa couldn't help but look at Mamoru with a suppressed smile. He was as half as serious as Raven and half as jolly as Hideyoshi. But she haven't seen him this much flustered.
Mamoru's eyes darted around the room. He was really not used to this and he couldn't help but to more pressure towards Leo compared to Feena's father. Or maybe because back then he was trying to cancel the engagement that is why he had more courage?
\"Relax will you, I won't eat you,\" Leo couldn't help but to be exasperated upon seeing him get flustered.
\"But if I remember right, aren't you and Feena engaged?\"
\"We have canceled it, sir. Both of us have no feelings for each other. So we faced our parents to tell them what we really feel.\"
Leo nodded upon hearing this. He then seriously look at the two of them.
\"Seeing the two of you, I can tell that your relationship is not anew established one. That's right, Azusa was completely infatuated with you back then, she-\"
\"Father!!\" Azusa's face completely turned red upon seeing her father starting to tell Mamoru stories of how infatuated she was back when she was a child.
\"*chuckles* Anyway, most of these times, I wasn't there for her. And in a different world, she had even... *sigh* I won't ask you to take care of her cause Iknow you have been doing that all this time. So I can only ask you to keep what you are doing and love her with all you've got. Tears will always be there, I just wish it would be minimal.\"
Mamoru knew what he meant by 'in a different world', for EUreka have already told them what had happened to the other Azusa's apart from being the bad ones.
He too understand why somehow Leo is being easy on him. It is mainly because he was gone for the most part of Azusa's life.
Mamoru can tell, Leo still felt like he still didn't have much of a right for the decisions regarding Azusa's life. Especially those part where she chooses the partner she'll spend with for the rest of her life.
\"Sir,\" Mamoru looked serious as he looked straight in Leo's eyes.
\"No matter who. Or no matter how long one spent with their children, especially with their daughter. They have the right to see whether someone is really compatible with their daughter. If that man would really love her or hurt her in the end. A father does not only have that as a right but as a duty as well.\"
He held Azusa's hand as he smiled gently, \"Azusa is a very precious one. And I'm really happy that I am the one she chose to spend her life with. And I am lucky that the man whom I'll ask her hand for, is you. I must apologize that it took me so long before coming here to say my intentions. I hope I was not too late for I really want to keep dating her until the time where both of us have finally decided to make a family of our own. So please, allow me to keep dating your daughter and to keep treasuring her.\"
He gave a bow after saying all of these. Azusa who was taken a back at first followed suit as she too asked her father, to allow her to date Mamoru.
Leo who was shocked by his words, almost cried. His hands on the blanket trembled.
He was not worth it of this respect, he was not worth it of all the people surrounding him now. He even felt suffocated, he couldn't accept all the love and kindness they are showing.
He had done so much. He was nothing but an evil person worthy of nothing but death.
He swallowed making sure that his voice wouldn't crack, \"Go on then. Go on and love each other for the rest of your lives.\"
Getting his approval took a lot of load off of Mamoru, he smiled as he thank Leo and smiled at Azusa who smiled back at him.
And since Azusa still have her duties, they soon bid their goodbyes and promised to visit when he has the time. Leo just nodded.
\"They sure are very compatible,\" Layla was obviously happy for the two of them.
\"Layla,\" she then heard Leo call for her.
Upon looking back at him, she was shocked how serious he was looking at her.
*****
\"So you were nervous after all,\" after riding another carriage to return to where Azusa was on duty, she finally decided to tease him.
\"Anyone would be. Though I was also acting so rashly. I didn't even bring anything on my visit,\" Mamoru couldn't help but to sigh.
Really his decision was truly rash. He just thought of it and then just went with it. That is in no way respectful of your seniors. He should have brought some fruits and all.
He couldn't help but to keep on sighing upon realinzing all the mistakes he have done during this time.
Azusa sighed as well, seeing how he was beating himself over something so trivial, \"Come on now. We still got his permission didn't we? Shouldn't you be happy instead?\"
Mamoru looked up at her before smiling, \"That's right. I really am happy right now.\"
He pulled her into a tight hug, getting both parents permission would always be the happiest moment for the couples. They didn't need to worry about anything at all. Or be secretive in any way.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
