"Thank you so much for watching her last minute Jaime!"

"It's not a problem Y/N. Go have fun on your date." Jaime shooed Y/N out the door. They were about to say something else when the door shut against their back almost causing them to stumble. They pulled out their phone and checked their messages.

Y/N let out the breath they were holding and continued their trek to the restaurant. Very fancy and high end. They planned on splitting the bill with Seven since they're both nearly broke. They looked at the display items in the various shops as they walked past them noticing trinkets and other random items that piqued their interest. Nearing their destination they saw a familiar figure casually leaning against the window by the entrance.

"Seven!" They called out, quickening their pace. Seven turned his body to face them and grinned. "Damn, you look great!"

"Not too bad yourself there chicken boy."

"Chicken boy, what the hell does that even mean?" He asked grabbing their hand and lacing their fingers together.

"Nothing Seven, let's go in already. I'm starving!" They said with a longing look on their face. Seven begrudgingly unlaced their hands, walked ahead, and opened the door. "Wow, such a gentleman." They spoke in a jestful manner.

"Yeah yeah, I'm the best, let's go in." He tried his hardest to hide his red face but they noticed right away and poked his left cheek while entering the restaurant. Always so observant. He mentally noted before following right on their tail. A young woman stood at the hostess podium. "Hello welcome, do you have a reservation?"

"Yes, it should be under L/N?"

"Let me look here." The young woman scanned the list in front of her. "Ah yes here it is! alright let's get you both seated." Seven and Y/N both let out heavy sighs of relief. Seven's being the loudest which slightly alarmed Y/N but they weren't gonna ask.

They were seated at a table and told they would be taken care of in a moment or two. The two began to talk amongst themselves. Y/N talking about something they had found interesting in their college class they had earlier in the day and Seven occasionally nodding and talking about customers or random thoughts that plagued him that day.

Soon their food and drinks were ordered and they waited.

"Hey Seven, after this I was wondering if you would walk home with me? There's someone important I want you to meet." They paused, "they're the most important person in my life, besides you of course." Seven's eyes widened for a moment before he collected himself and spoke. "Of course babe! I'd love to meet this super important person!" He tried to look suave and calm but Y/N, once again, saw right through it. They reached across the table and took his hand in theirs. "Hey, don't be nervous. You're not meeting my parents so try to relax." He visibly went lax and nodded. At this moment the waitress came to the table holding two plates of gourmet looking food. "Sorry to disturb you two but the food is here!" The waitress, whose name Y/N forgot, set the food in front of them and told them if they needed anything else to let her know and walked away.

They both started eating, and while doing so they also chatted away about menial things. Seven almost made them spit out their wine at some joke he made. It was a terrible joke but Y/N laughed nonetheless. The check eventually came, they split it as planned, and the two made their way out of the busy restaurant.

Y/N has lived on the island for a little over a year now and had only met Seven a few months ago by complete accident. They were immediately smitten by his odd hair and almost lackadaisical attitude. He had ran into them and knocked the many bags of groceries of their arms. Ah so they're a "more than one trip is for the weak" kind of person. Seven thought to himself while admiring the beauty he just trampled over "Ah shit, sorry about that. Let me help you out." He sputtered out while scrambling to pick up the fallen grocery bags before jumping up with way too much energy and handing them over. Y/N, at this point, had gotten themselves up and tidied up their appearance before taking the bags from the man.  "Thank you, and it's not a problem I should've been watching where I was going." They said and slightly dipped into a small respectful bow before straightening up. Y/N smiled at him and began to walk away from him before he suddenly spoke up. "Hey, wait, I never caught your name!" Y/N paused for a moment before turning slightly to face him. "I'm Y/N, and yours?"

"S-seven. My name is Seven."

"It's nice to meet you Seven, I must be going now before my food spoils." They smiled at him, turned, and began slipping through the crowd.

"Shit, I didn't get their number!"

That didn't matter anyways because they continued to bump into one another after that and Seven finally got the nerves to ask them out. So date after date they went on and Y/N and Seven began to fall hopelessly for each other. This date was different though, this was their 7th date. So Y/N decided it was time for a step in their relationship, to see if he really was the one for them. Their hands intertwined with his as they both made their way up the steps to Y/N's apartment. Just as they reached the front door, Y/N stopped and turned to face him. Still holding his hand they gave him an empathetic look. "Don't be nervous Seven, I like you and I'm sure they will too." They rubbed the back of his hand with their thumb in a soothing pattern that made Seven let out a nervous laugh he was holding back. "Me nervous? Never." He said through his anxiety.

"Still trying to look cool I see." They grinned before leaning forward and kissing his cheek. "Stay here and give me just a moment." Y/N spoke softly before turning around and unlocking the door.

They stepped in and lightly left the front door open a crack. He heard two people talking and before he knew it a young woman with light brown hair stepped out of the cracked door, smiled at Seven, and walked towards the stairs. She was leaving, so who was Y/N wanting him to meet? He didn't have to wait long, as Y/N soon followed after and took his hand in hers and led him inside the apartment. He was met with a beautifully decorated apartment. Y/N was going to college for interior design and art so that shouldn't surprise him as much as it did. He noticed children's toys on the carpeted floor of the living area and before he knew it a little girl came bolting out of one of the rooms off to the right and crashed into Y/N's legs.

"You're home! You're home! Did you have fun?" She looked up at them with such big curious eyes before noticing Seven standing not too far behind Y/N.

"Who's that?" She asked tilting her head in question. "Daiyu this is Seven. Seven this is Daiyu." Y/N said while gesturing to each respective person. "This is my daughter." They said while looking nervously at Seven, gaging his reaction. Would he be just another man to come and go in their life in a moments notice? Would he stay and try to make this relationship work? Y/N was snapped out of their thoughts when they noticed Seven move towards Daiyu and crouch slightly to come face to face with her. "Hi Daiyu, who do you have there?" He asked pointing at a stuffed toy in the girl's right hand. "Oh, this is Yui she's a dragon." She said softly, "do you want to meet her?"

"Sure!" He said. The man practically sparkled. Y/N felt like they could faint. The amount of feelings that coursed through them was almost too much. He was going to stick around? Be apart of their lives? This was everything they could've hoped for and more. Tears began to well up in their eyes but they held them back for the sake of not ruining this perfect moment.

Daiyu and Seven began excitedly chattering as she grabbed his hand and led him to her room presumably to play. Y/N followed them and saw Daiyu putting colorful butterfly clips into Seven's hair and he seemed content with it. He turned his head to look up at them with so much happiness it almost made Y/N completely break down. He noticed this and stood up abruptly and treaded over to them before pulling Y/N into his arms.

"Are you alright goregous?"

"Y-yeah I'm fine. This is just...this is all just so perfect. It's everything I could've hoped for Seven. Thank you." The tears were now freely rolling down their cheeks and were being absorbed by Seven's hoodie. He rubbed their back and gently rocked them side to side as a way to comfort them. Daiyu soon joined the mix and hugged both sets of legs before rocking in rhythm. It worked and Y/N stopped crying. They pulled away from Seven before reaching down and scooping up the five year old into their arms.

"You should be going to bed young lady." Y/N said and booped her nose. Daiyu giggled and nodded reluctantly. Y/N put them down and she ran off to the bathroom to get ready for bed. Seven and Y/N made their way to the living room before they both plopped down onto the leather couch. Y/N wiped any remaining tears from their face before looking at Seven.

"So she's yours right?"

"Yeah, she is. I had her when I was eighteen."

"So she'd be five then?"

"Yep, she's the best thing to ever happen to me. Besides you of course." As they said this they leaned into his side and nuzzled into his shoulder. Seven smiled and leaned into the affectionate action.

"Still keep in touch with...you know?"

"I don't expect you to step in as a father figure-"

"Absolutely not. As cliche as it is they decided they weren't ready for kids, after we decided to settle down for the long haul. We had been dating for a long time, childhood sweethearts and all that. I figured they were the one. They made the bed so now they gets to sleep in it. They've never cared about Daiyu. She's my whole world and has taught me so much in the small amount of our time together." Seven gave a soft smile and kissed them on the temple. Y/N reaches over and held his held his hand in a tense grip.

"Hey, I'm not gonna leave you because of this. I thought you were the most incredibly breathtaking being on the planet as soon as I crashed into you. You having a daughter, who's amazing by the way, doesn't change that."

"What if I want to be?" Y/N gave him a look of shock.

"You want to play that part? You really want to do this?"

"I do. She's amazing, you're amazing Y/N L/N." They almost cried again right then and there.

"Thank you Seven." At that moment Daiyu came out of the bathroom in her pajamas and gave them both a huge grin. "I'm ready for bed now!"

"Alright let's go tuck you in."

"I want Seven to do it."

"Huh? Okay. Seven is that okay with you?"

"Fine by me, let's go shrimpy."

"Shrimpy?!" Y/N heard their daughter laugh and yell at Seven, their conversation growing distant as they entered Daiyu's room. Y/N waited for a few minutes before Seven came out with a soft smile on his face before he plopped himself on top of Y/N.

"Ack, Seven what are you doing? You're too heavy."

"I don't wanna go home."

"Then don't. You can stay the night."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah I don't mind and neither will Daiyu. I'm sure she'll be happy seeing you here tomorrow."

"Okay." He snuggled into them more, trying to bury himself. Y/N undid his hair and began to run their fingers through the silky black strands.

"Y/N, I don't know if it's too soon for this, I think I'm falling in love with you."

"Seven I think I fell in love with you forever ago." They felt him grin into their chest.

"Goodnight Y/N."

"Goodnight Seven."
