Pieces of colorful papers sprawled across the pink flowered wallpaper room. On the small table on the floor, scissors, glue sticks, stickers and what not. The colorful papers cut into shapes of flowers and object as her small hands draws something on the cardboard paper. Her big round sapphire orbs blinks as she took a dark blue crayons and start coloring some part of the drawing. Her small pink lips curves into a smile.

“Tsukiko-chan, your dad’s coming home soon. You might wanna put those away before he sees them.” the pinknette, Momoi Satsuki, a childhood friend of her father and the manager of the band was taking turn to babysit her. Her dad often reminds her not to eat anything that Big Sister Satsuki cooks.

You could get very bad stomachache - he said.

Tsukiko personally witnessed it first hand when Aunt Satsuki made her dad eats the entire pot of curry. All for the sake of him did not want his daughter be rush down to the hospital. No thanks to that cooking disaster, Aomine had to miss two days of practice all because of a stomachache.

“Okay, Satsuki nee-chan!” she quickly stacks all the papers as she kept everything in a box, and kept it hidden inside her closet where her dad would never check. Satsuki has made sure that Aomine learnt the proper way to raise a daughter especially on girl’s privacy.

The moment she heard the main door of the apartment opens, she knew who it was just by listening to those heavy sigh and footsteps. She puts the box away and quickly, left the room, “Daddy! Welcome home!” she hugged the taller man legs tightly. Her father, Aomine Daiki laughed as he puts his things down and carried the little child up into his arms, “Hey, I missed you!” he peeked a kiss on her soft cheeks. She giggles as she wrapped her small harms around her dad’s neck, “I missed you to, Daddy!”

“Welcome home, Dai-chan. Dinner’s prepared. So, just go ahead and dig it. President Nijimura called and he wants me to be down at the agency as soon as you reach home.” She grabs her handbag and puts on her high heels. The two watched her hurrying as she bends down to give the little bluenette a peek on the cheek.

“Bye bye, Satsuki nee-chan!” she waved her small little hands as Satsuki smiled at her before closing the door. Silence followed by. Then, Aomine smiled at his daughter, “Let see if what your Satsuki nee-chan cook something edible for us.” He grins as he carried her to the kitchen but soon after frowning at the smell as Tsukiko face scrunched up, quickly she covered her nose.

Aomine sighed as he opens the pot on the stove. Tsukiko eyed the pot, “I think I know where Daddy gets that talent to make a soup taste really weird.” She commented. He chuckles, “Do you, now?” he playfully pinched his daughter soft cheeks.

He grabbed his phone, “Well, I guess we’re gonna have pizza again tonight. Hawaiian, babe?” he grins. His daughter nodded as he goes to the living room and puts his daughter on the couch. She turns on the large flat screen TV while he ordered the pizza.

…

The pizza came a little later, “Daddy, pizza’s here!” while Aomine was doing the dish, clearing up the mess his childhood friend made. The soup that she made was certainly not edible. Wiping his hands clean on his apron, he followed his daughter to the door where the deliveryman was waiting.

After paying, he locked the door and brought the pizza to the kitchen. His daughter grabs two clean plates and two empty glasses. As if she has done this her entire life, she brought the fresh orange bottle out of the refrigerator. He smiled as he watched his daughter buzzing around the kitchen like his wife would.

He chuckle lightly as Tsukiko gets on the chair and poured the juice into each glass. Her large round sapphires looked at him as she tilted her head to the side, “Daddy, why are you smiling?” she pushed the glass to him. His smile grew wider as he ruffles with her soft locks, “Nothing, you just remind me a lot of how your mother used to be whenever she comes over to cook for me.”  He pulls a piece of the pizza and puts it on her plate as she drank her orange juice.

Her eyes blink, “Daddy, what’s Mummy like when she was still alive?” the question caught him off guard. He forced a smile, surpassing that pang of loneliness in him. He hummed as he grabbed a piece of the pizza for himself, “Hmmm” he stares at it for a couple second.

“Well, as you’ve seen, she’s a really beautiful woman and strong too. She has the most beautiful smile I have seen in my life. She knows how to cook delicious home meals and she’s crazy for vanilla milkshakes, just like you.” He poked his daughter cheeks as she giggles. He smiled, “Just like you, she’s very important to me. You two are my treasures!” he tickles her.

The large apartment filled with giggles and laughter from the kitchen as the vocalist continues his story about how wonderful his beloved wife was. To him, nothing can replace the emptiness in his heart. Tetsuki is the one and only for him and if he must raise this child alone, then he will. He will not let Tsukiko goes through what his wife once went through as long as he is still alive.

His family is his treasure.

After showered, Tsukiko peek into her father’s room. She smiled upon seeing her beloved father fast asleep on the bed. Quietly, she ran back to her room, grabbed the extra blanket in the cabinets, and went back to his room. She climbs onto the bed and spread the pink flowery pattern blanket onto her father.

She smiled when she finally manage to cover her father’s large body with it. She peek a kiss on his cheeks as he mumbles something incoherent. She whispered, “Goodnight, Daddy.” As quiet as possible, she climbed down the bed and turns off the lamp on the nightstand. She closed the door as she chuckles, seeing he turns to his side mumbling something about the pink haired manager disastrous cooking.

Then, she walked to the living room where her father’s guitar bag and backpack still lying on the floor. Being a small child was hard enough for her as she carefully carried the guitar bag, which was larger than she is, to the cabinet was where her father often kept his important instruments. She sighed at her effort when the bag nearly squished her.

Then, she drags the backpack, “What did Daddy put in here?” she mumbles as she pulls the heavy backpack to the couch. Then, with every ounce of strength she has, she carried it onto it, “Daddy carried too much heavy stuffs in his back. Maybe that’s why he gets backache a lot.” She went to the kitchen and turns off the lights. Then, she went back to living room, then to the cabinets where photo frames of her father’s beloved wife, Aomine Tetsuki properly arranged there. She smiled, “Goodnight, Mummy.”

Then, she turns off the lights in the living room, making a beeline to her own room. She looked at the photo frame on her nightstand where Aomine hugged her like she is the most important treasure he has in the whole wide world, ‘This is me and Daddy’s precious home. I will take care of it like he takes care of me.’  She smiled, and then she turns off her nightstand lights.

‘Goodnight, Mummy. Goodnight, Daddy.’

“Tsukiko-chii, I can’t believe you’ve been with us for over a year now. You’re still the adorable Tsukiko-chii I first met back then!” the keyboardist rubbed his cheeks against the small bluenette, “Ryota nii-chan, please let go off me.” She pushed the taller man away. Murasakibara lazily sat down as he watched the two ‘Children’ in front of him conversing. Kise pouted, “I only wanna hug you! Work has been hard for me and it is refreshing to see you again! I swear, Aomine-chii wanna keep you all to himself!”

Akashi was the last one to show up in the apartment, along with several plastic bags of groceries in his hands,”Sei nii-chan, you’re here!” she hugged him. The bassist smiled, “Yes, I’m glad to see you too, Tsukiko.” Murasakibara approached the smaller red haired man as he took the groceries from him.

“Your father should be here soon. So, let us turns off the lights and remember you must stay silent.” He shifts his gaze to the drummist, “Is the cake prepared?” Murasakibara nodded, while Kise quickly those birthday confetti and tucked one into the bluenette’s hands.  

“Aka-chin~ Mine-chin’s is at the door~” the violet head announced. The other two quickly turns off the lights, “Be quiet now.” Kise whispers, waiting for Aomine to enter the apartment.

…

The navy blue haired vocalist halts at the entrance, “Tsukiko-chan?” he walks in, noticing all the lights were turned off. Traces of worried in his tone as he calls out for his daughter once again, his hands searched for the lights switch.

When the lights turns on, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AOMINE-CHII/MINE-CHIN/DAIKI/DADDY!!” there in the living room, stood his friends and his daughter. A birthday cake on the table, with his name on it – Happy Birthday, Daddy!

His midnight blue orbs widen as his bandleader approached him, “We figured as much you’ve forgotten your own birthday, Daiki. So, your daughter here made us prepared for your birthday instead.” He moves away, revealing the little bluenette behind him.

Tsukiko came closer, in her hands there is a cardboard like card. Then, her large sapphire orbs looked at him with the card handed over to him, “Happy Birthday, Daddy. I hope you’ll like this.” He opens the pinkish blue card.

His orbs widen slightly, as he smiled. He crouched down, “Thank you, baby.” He hugs her, “I love it.” He kissed her on the cheeks. He felt touched as his eyes glistened with tears, “Thank you so much.” He hugs her tighter as his friends watched over him.

It was a pop up card where there was a mini version of him and Tsukiko and his beloved wife, Tetsuki. Behind it was a drawing of a house, where else different colors of flowers drawn on it.

On the card written - Happy Birthday, Daddy. You are the greatest dad I ever had in my life.

His life is perfect. He had a wonderful wife, and now the God grant him a wonderful daughter. What more can he ask for?

They are his most precious treasure.
