Tatara X child!Reader.
Tatara watched as a chibi sized ghoul hug Ayato's left leg, he recognized this chibi ghoul as his own child, [First Name]
She looked like the exact replica of her deceased mother which Tatara had a soft spot for, perhaps [name]'s mother is loyal, kindhearted, loving and gentle even though she's one of the strongest ghoul he ever met.
He might never admit but you're dear to him. Keeping you within eye shot or with a body guard, not just any bodyguard but a high ranking bodyguard.
The chibi [hair color] haired girl's eyes widen in happiness to finally see her father in flesh again, she tackled her father in a long hug as he picked her up.
Tatara nodded over the now relief looking Ayato thinking that he'd gotten rid over the brat who's so clingy, especially on him.
Tatara walked towards his room, chibi [name]'s arms around her father's neck watching his father with intense [eyecolor] hues she oh-so inherited from her mother.
When they arrived to his neat room, she placed chibi [name] to their soft bed,
"Daddy how was your day?" you politely asked, just like how he taught you, after all you inherited his great power, intimidating skills, composed self and his powerful kagune. He might as well make you like him.
"It's fine, let's talk about you." he took of his mask then placed it atop of a desk. you weren't really surprised since he always does this whenever its only the two of you.
"My day was fine, Ayato-kun took me to the park" you smiled at the thought, from all the ghouls that guarded you; Ayato is the only one you liked -since he took you to different places and wards- you didn't like Naki cause he's too annoying for you, the bin brother's doesn't entertain you and Tatara won't allow Yamori touch you then Noro is fine but he won't talk to you and you'll end up being lonely.
"Is Ayato nicer now?" Tatara held your hand then lead you to the bathroom for bath time. You grinned up to your father then skips toward the bathtub.
"Yes daddy. He stops calling me 'little shit' and called me 'brat' instead. I somehow felt that is much better than 'little shit'. What does that even mean Daddy?"
you stepped into the bathtub filled with bubbles and the aroma of something sweet
"It's a bad word." Your father massages your scalp as you inhaled the sweet scent of shampoo
"oh. I think Ayato-kun wont stop saying bad words so don't scold him again" you said then played with the yellow duck floating around as you enjoy his gentle fingers on your scalp.
The last time Tatara 'scolded' Ayato is when he got several open wounds and almost died since Tatara wouldn't allow his RC cells to regenerate and that all happen when he carelessly left you to get lost in a bookstore; only to be found by Eto as Takatsuki sen and for also calling you 'little shit'
He couldn't kill the bluenette because you've gotten closed to him and it really makes you happy when he got better.
Silence fell upon you two as your father rinse you off the dirt. You didn't really mind the silence since your father is a man of few words.
He lifted you up the counter/sink in front of the mirror while he blow dried your [hair length] [hair color] hair.
Little moments like this made him forget about ghoul and human problems of his mind by simply taking care of you.
For you, these tiny actions meant a lot, making you feel important and loved.
You stared at your reflection who stared back at you; your father said several times before that you look exactly like your mother which made you want to look at yourself whenever Tatara blow dried your hair, the only chance you get to see yourself.
As he finished up, he dressed you over your pajamas and tucks you in. after a few minutes you felt the mattress dip, he had lay down beside you.
You two stared off each others eyes both wearing blank stoic look. "Daddy, would you teach me how to use my kagune on my birthday?" you whispered, hugging a plush toy Eto gave you. Tatara nodded his head which made you smile and snuggled close to him. He might not be there all the time but you can always reassure yourself that at some night you'll be snuggling to the rare warmth from Tatara and feel his unique way how he shows he cares for you.
With a feather light kiss on your forehead, he watches you fall asleep in to a child's dream, completely oblivious to the cruel and harsh reality, after all Tatara wants to hid his little daughter in the shadows until the right time is to come.
