You were simply young, dumb, and extremely immature. I mean... what could possibly go wrong!? Fall in love at 17, get married at 18, have a kid at 20, and then watch it all crash and burn as the two of you realize how much you really don't love each other. Nakao was the man you made all your mistakes with...and finally at the age of 23, you got a divorce.

Now, it wasn't a messy divorce. The two of you still remained friends after that. You had ownership over your kid, Iris. You took her on weekdays and he took her on weekends. The two of you still hung out together, tried to be a good influence on your child, and did the best you could.

It was... healthy. Stable. Perfect...

Right?

"Iris! Why are you crying? Don't you wanna see your father?" You asked, staring down at your now 6 year old child who was whining and tugging at your arm.

"But mommmm!! I wanna stay with youuuu!!" She cried with snot and tears pouring down her face.

You gave a light chuckle. "Oh, sweetie there is nothing to be worried about! You'll see me soon! Besides... your father isn't that scary..."

She gave you a look. "Yes he is! He doesn't smile as much as you do and when he's on the phone he always sounds angry and he doesn't wanna play tea party!!!"

You rolled your eyes and silently pulled your screaming toddler up the steps of your estranged. You rang the doorbell and quickly heard a soft "coming!" And a shuffle for the door.

The door opened to reveal the young face of Nakao. You gave him a friend smile. "Hello sir I'm here to drop off your daughter. She demands smiles and tea parties." You said.

The purple eyed male let out a gently yet friendly sounding half laugh. "I suppose I'll have to devliver then won't I?" He asked.

You nodded. "Yep! Do it or parish!"

"Mommmyyyy!!! Can't you at least stay for a whittle bit!????" Iris wailed.

You glanced at the watch on your wrist. "Well... I suppose I could stay for a little while longer..."

Iris eyes lightened and immediately she rushed in the door with an excited expression. "Yay!! Mommy's staying!!"

You chuckled and looked up at Nakao. "I hope it's not any trouble."

He shook his head. "None at all... please come in." He said, stepping to the side to allow you to walk through.

You stepped in and looked around. It was a nice a house and a lot more open since you moved out. You had forgotten why you liked it so much. A gentle smile crossed your lips. It felt good.

You looked over at Nakao. "So what have you been up to?" You asked.

The male let out a slightly aggravated huff and sat down on the couch. "It's been a shit show doing stupid odd jobs all the time." He mumbled.

You nodded. "I see..." you watched Iris scramble up the stairs, racing off to put her stuff away. "I suppose I've had better luck then you."

Nakao rose a brow. "What do you mean by that?" He questioned.

A small blush came across your cheeks. "Well... you know... I got a promotion at the coffee shop... I managed to get a great baby sitter for Iris and I...met...someone." Your voice trailed off.

"Oh? Is it anything serious?" He asked in a slightly more stern tone.

You didn't notice. "Mm... not really it's more like a little crush I guess." You giggled. You glanced at the clock. "Oh! I must be getting back to work now!" You said with slight panic in your tone. "I'll see ya, tell Iris I said bye!" And with that you quickly left the scene.

As soon as you did Nakao couldn't help but let his face drop to a disgusted frown. So his ex wife had already moved on from him? How pathetic. After the divorce he hadn't really planned on finding love again and he assumed it was the same for you... however clearly that wasn't the case.

Suddenly he heard the gentle tapping of the light green haired toddler walking down the stairs and making her way up to where she had left her mother and father.

"Where did mommy go?" She innocently asked.

"She had to leave." He said plainly while tiredly stretching his limbs out.

Tears began to bottle up in her (e/c) eyes. "B-b...but mommy didn't- didn't t-tell me b-bye bye..." she muttered.

Nakao rolled his eyes and stood up. He had no remorse for the small girl and cared little about her. He only really bothered to continuously take her in because he didn't want (y/n) to think so ill of him. It was getting harder and harder to control his anger though...

"Papa!" The little girl said, running up and hugging the males legs and looking up at him. "Play tea with me please please pleeeaaasse!" She whined.

He glanced down into her (e/c) eyes, the most noticeable trait she got from her mother. "Busy." Was all he said.

The young girl pouted and let go, knowing better than to push her luck she stomped back upstairs to play tea by her lonesome leaving the male to his thoughts.

Later that evening Iris was playing on the floor with some of her dolls while Nakao sat on the couch, mindlessly reading a book. He suddenly decided to break the silence.

"Has your mother brought home any men recently?" He asked.

Iris paused and thought for a moment. "Umm... mommy brought I think her boss for dinner one time! He was really nice too!" She said.

He glanced over the rim of the book. "Oh really...? Does she like him?" He asked, pressing the toddler for more information.

Iris immediately went wide eyed and a grin pressed upon her cheeks. "Yes yes!! Momma said he's very handsome and I told mamma to marry him but she said she couldn't!" She said with a pout.

"Oh and why is that?"

She crossed her arms. "Something about how it wasn't appropriate err... I'm not sure I don't understand!" She said as a sour look crossed her face.

Nakao understood it. He understood it completely... so that's why she called it 'nothing more than a crush'. This was going to be easier than he thought...

~ x x x x x ~

Eventually Sunday night rolled around meaning you were going to have to pick up Iris once again. Nakao glanced at the clock, it was 7:30PM which meant you were going to come within an hour or so.

"Hey iris?" He hummed, gaining the girls attention. "Would you like... some ice cream?" He asked.

Immediately the girls eyes went wide with stars in them. "I-Ice cream? Wahhh!!! You never let me have ice cream!!!" A bright and happy look crossed her face.

Nakao put on a fake smile back. "Only because you've been good. Just don't tell mom okay?"

She rapidly nodded her head. "I'll take that secret to my grave!!" She said with a bright smile on her face.

Nakao chuckled. What a statement that was...

A couple minutes after Iris had her ice cream she began to yawn and stretch her limbs.

"Are you tired?" He asked. "Why don't you go nap upstairs?"

Iris pouted. "But then when mama comes I won't be awa-."

"I'll wake you up before she gets here okay?" He hummed with a slightly darker tone in his voice which Iris barely picked up on. It was enough for her to get the hint though...

"Yes father..." she muttered tiredly and slowly got up to go rest her easy head.

~ x x x x x ~

You reached your (s/t) toned hand out and rang the doorbell. You stood there while rocking your heels back and forth.

The door opened and once again you were greeted to Nakaos pretty perfect face. You gave him a friendly smile. "Hey, is Iris ready to go?" You asked.

He returned your smile. "Mm... she should be racing down the stairs any second now." He muttered.

You giggled. "So was she good?" You asked.

He nodded. "Yes... and very clingy too."

"Mm... did you play tea with her?" You slyly questioned with a smirk on your face.

He rolled his eyes. "Of course how could I not? You said I'd perish if I didn't~."

You chuckled. "Yes well..." you paused. "Hm... Iris! Are you coming?" You yelled.

No answer.

Nakao rose a brow. "She'd usually be here by now..."

You nodded. "Yeah..." you allowed your self to push pass the door and made your way up the stairs not noticing the light green haired male close the door behind him and lock it with a gently click.

"Iris sweetie it's time to go!" You yelled, making your way down the hall with Nakao following close behind. You gently knocked on the door. "Iris?" You asked, opening the door and looking in.

Iris was there soundly asleep under the covers of the bed with her stuffed bear clutched tightly in her arms.

You smiled softly. "She's completely knocked out." You giggled and gently closed the door.

"She was awake a few minutes ago I guess she was pretty tired." Nakao hummed with a gently smile on his lips.

You glanced at him. The way he was looking at you seemed different... he had a bit of a half lidded look as he stared down at your face. "I... guess I could come back in an hour or so? I've got some shopping to do anyways." You said, backing over only to run into the wall.

Nakao took this chance to step forward and block your means of leaving. "Or... perhaps you could stay? Maybe for a glass of wine or... something a little more?" He hummed.

Your eyes widened realized what he was trying to do. "N-Nakao I don't think-."

He wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you into his chest, burying his face in your hair. "Oh come off it, you don't have to act so professional around me you know."

You awkwardly shifted your hands to his chest and pulled your self back out of his arms. "Cut it out! We shouldn't... we can't-."

His arms caged you against the wall. He gave you a seductive look. "Have you forgotten who I am to you? You used to put on such a cute act for me back then..." he placed a hand on your cheek and gently tilted your face up. "I know all the right places to make you feel so good~... wouldn't you like that? To forget all the stresses for a while and have me take care of you."

A light blush crossed your face. "I-I.. I- n-no!" You slapped his hand off. "I told you- I-I like someone else and-."

He chuckled. "Oh. You mean your boss?"

Your face paled. "H-how did you-?"

"Tsk tsk... that's very unprofessional of you (Y/n). And even trying to seduce him with a dinner at your place too... what a little sinner you've become." He purred.

You glared up at him. "My love life is of no concern to y- mmph!!!"

Nakao pressed his icy cold lips up against your own, taking a handful of your hand and using his other hand to pressed your waist into him. You put your hand on his chest but didn't push him away feeling the nostalgia of him doing this.

He gently pulled back and smirked. "See? You want me too..." he muttered breathlessly.

You shut your eyes tightly and for the last time pushed him back with all your might. "Nakao I'm leaving right now and I'll just come back in the morning for Iris when she's awake!" You huffed.

He frowned. "If you leave I highly doubt you'll ever see Iris awake again."

You stopped dead in your tracks as your blood ran cold. Slowly you turned around and stared at him with total disbelief. "What did you just say?" You muttered.

He glared. "I think you heard me well."

You turned to face him with a pissed off look on your face. "Nakao that isn't funny!!! Don't joke about things like that ever again!!!" You yelled.

He crossed his arms. "You think I was joking hm? I never liked that brat anyways."

You couldn't help but let your jaw go loose with a look of pure shock on your face. "Nakao she's your DAUGHTER!!! How can you say something like that?!"

He narrowed his eyes. "Oh please she's the source of all our problems. If she was gone we probably would still be happily married with you still in my arms... but instead you keep running away from me. I might as well just get rid of her."

You stepped forward. "You wouldn't "

He sneered. "Why don't you test me with the fiery tongue of yours again and see if I would or wouldn't."

"That's it I'm calling the police!" You turned to make your way down the stairs.

"Oh please do~. She'll be as good as dead by the time they get here anyways."

As soon as he said those words you realized how serious he was. You thought he'd snap out of it once you threatened to call the cops... but he was... really... going to-.

You whipped your head around with tears threatening to fall. "N-Nakao you would really... kill your own daughter?"

"Did I stutter?" He mocked.

Your knees locked and you sank to the floor. What the hell could you do? You had no idea what to do in this sort of situation. Tears began pouring down your cheeks. "Please don't hurt her... please..." you cried. "I'll do anything just don't!"

He smirked. "Now that's more like it." He made his way over to you and crouched down in front of you. "Since you're more obedient now..." he leaned in close to your ear. "Why don't we have a little fun?"

~ x x x x x A Year Later x x x x x ~

"I'm off to school!!!" Iris cried with a bright smile on her face.

"Be safe. I love you!!" You said, wrapping your arms around the smaller child and giving her a peck on the forehead.

She hugged you back and quickly raced off towards the bus. You stood up and closed the door with a huff. You glanced up and saw Nakao silently glaring at you.

"W-What..?" You questioned.

"Nothing... come here." He opened his arms up to you.

You silently walked over to him and allowed him to pull you into his chest. He hummed and gently brushed your hair. "I was thinking I could stay home from work... maybe let Iris stay over at someone else's house for the night. How does that sound?"

Your eyes widened realizing what he was implying. "I... I... w-why now in particular?" You asked.

He brought you over to the couch and forced you to sit on his lap as he continued to hug you. "That brat keeps getting in the way of our time together." He mumbled, hugging you tighter. "I want you to be all mine tonight~."

You shifted in discomfort. "I..." you swallowed hard. "I regret ever meeting you..." you mumbled.

His grip tightened. "I hope for your sake you didn't just say what I think you just said."

You huffed. "Let me go already Nakao! I don't want to do this- I- I don't!" You tried to pull away but he quickly had you pinned back on the couch gripping your wrists tightly.

"You wish we never met huh?" He hissed. "If we hadn't met your precious Iris wouldn't exist. Is that what you want? Hm?"

You glared up at him. "You wouldn't kill her. If you did they'd notice her disappearance and you'd be arrested! Is that what you want?" You growled. "If you could kill her you would've done so already."

His grip tightened before slowly loosening. A smirk plastered across his face. "Oh... I guess you're right my love... but you're forgetting one thing~."

Your eyes widened. "W-What?"

"That~ you~..." his smile dropped. "Have no way of ever escaping me. If you've suddenly decided to feel powerful against me I have other means of making you obedient." He hissed.

You ripped one of your hands out from under him and slapped him across the face. "Never!!"

His hair fell in front of his face blocking any sort of expression he was giving. As soon as you realized what you had done you felt nothing but deep regret.

"N-Nakao I-!"

"I suppose that brat will have to stay for more than a few nights..." He uttered slowly moving his head back to face you as his hand crawled up to your neck.

You winced and grabbed his arm. "W-Wait! N-Nakao! B-babe-? P-ple- ACK!"

He started squeeze your neck with no emotion to be found on his face. "I'll teach you how to be a proper wife again..." he leaned down and took your lips with his own, gently working against them and taking what little breath you had left.

You couldn't breath, you couldn't breath, you couldn't breath!!! Tears pricked your eyes as you felt nothing but agony.

You looked him in the eyes. "N-Nakao I-... I love you!!!" You croaked out.

Immediately his eyes widened. He pulled back and he let go allowing you to cough and sputter for air. He stared down at your withering form beneath him with a half lidded look once again.

"(Y/n)..." he sighed. "Why can't you just do as I say?" He ran his fingers through his hair before grabbing your chin and tilting it towards him. "I love you too... I don't want to hurt you anymore..."

You were still breathing hard from the whole incident. "I-I don't know what came over me-. I-I-I'm sorry..." you whispered.

He smirked. "You can make it up to me tonight~." He quickly captures your plump lips with his own once again, ignoring you (e/c) colored eyes become dull because of the realization that you'd truly never get away so long as you both lived.
