This Special Kind of Love

[KAWAI]

Tamiko wanted to fight his father's embrace, and he wanted to say that this wasn't right or even that this wasn't the time for this. He wanted to tell his father that he was late and that all of this wouldn't ever mean anything; oh, he wanted to, so desperately. 

However, the way that his father was holding onto him gently, embracing him like a father would a son, Tamiko felt the fight leave him. He felt like he really belonged here with his father and that all would be alright. 

He wanted to refute the king's words and make him understand that this was not the time for him to be acting all high and mighty, but then he didn't take it in him for that. So, he let his father hold him and whispered promises that he was so sure King Zaffuto would keep.
