You had been taking care of Katya while she was pregnant, you weren’t her girlfriend, not even close, she just simply needed someone’s help. She had her family, but Irina was busy caring for her other kids at times, so Irina asked you to step in, and you agreed. Now that Rio was here, you were her father, her best friend. Katya was surprised, over the five years that Rio was alive for, Rio truly treated you like her dad, she didn’t know the difference. Obviously, she’ll figure out sooner or later that you’re not a man, not a dad, not her dad, but that’s a conversation you’re willing to have with her. Katya had recently been exhausted, Rio had been giving her a hard time, always wanting to play and spend time with her mama, that’s when you stepped in. While Katya had a long nap, you spent the day with your little girl, she loved it. You went out, got her some fun toys, then came back home to play with her, Katya woke up and walked downstairs, her hair a mess and her eyes heavy, she was still tired but she knew better than to sleep for too long, she glanced over at the table, where you were with her daughter, playing with some type of weird floam stuff, Irina watched you with a smile, the many years she had known you, and she hadn’t ever seen you be this..human.
