"When did you fall for him?"

1.

" 'When' you say..." Ichika rubbed her chin, one eye close in contemplation. She showed her daughter an easygoing smile but inside she was thinking hard.

She couldn't really remember one specific moment but there was a reason she never really told her daughter about how Fuutarou and her got together.

She didn't want to disappoint Mutsumi, after all.

"That's right. It was this one time we were locked in a shed. Your father caught me when I slipped. My heart was beating so fast then."

"So you actually fell for him and Father caught you? How amazing!"

Ichika sighed hearing her daughter satisfied. Maybe, one day she'd tell her daughter the truth but for now this was for the best.

"I'll be sure to tell that reporter who asked me about it."

"Hold on, Mutsumi-chan!"

2.

"Of course, the moment we first met I knew he was special."

Special here meaning a stalker, of course but there was no way Nino could deny the sparkle of her daughter's eyes. At least, not until she started bleeding and learned how cruel boys could be.

"We didn't immediately get along but I prepared a special drink for your father that made his mind turn around."

"Wow. What was it made of?"

A cocktail of sleeping pills, anti-depressents, and libido killers.

"Love." whispered Nino as if saying it aloud would ruin the magic of the word. Mutsumi looked up at her with adoration which was all Nino needed.

"You're amazing, mama! Papa definitely fell for you then, right?"

"Of course! In fact, he even rode up to take me away on a white steed!"

3.

"If I could recall, it was the time your father was confronted by Kiku-chan."

"Kiku-chan? Who's that?"

"His daughter."

"I thought I was his daughter!"

"Kiku-chan accused myself and your Aunt Ichika that we were having an affair with him."

"Eh?'

"I tried to ask him out but your aunt Ichika offered to be her new mommy. It was much too strong for me."

"So what happened, okaa-sama?"

"I confessed to him and then he replied with a proposal."

"Wow. And then you got married right after?"

"No, that was a few years later." Miku sighed in content. "That was a great day."

Mutsumi had already left, shaking her head about confusing timelines.

4.

"Hmmm."

Mutsumi patiently waited for her mother to finish her contemplation.

First, Yotsuba closed her eyes with a frown follows by a tilt of her head which was then followed by crossed arms and distressed humming.

After what felt like an hour, her mother finally nodded and stared at her with a rare look of seriousness.

"I have no idea."

"Eh?!" exclaimed Mutsumi as Yotsuba nodded to herself, as if affirming her words.

"You see, Mu-chan, whenever I'm with otou-san, my heart always feels light and I feel like doing anything for him. It's been like this since day one." Yotsuba folded her hands over her chest. "I felt the same when I first saw you. This is true love."

"I totally get it, okaa-san," said Mutsumi even if she actually didn't. She even had no idea why there were tiny angels surrounding her mother.

"Maybe kaa-san just loved him from the beginning?"

Muttering to herself, Mutsumi could only shake her head at her mother's obliviousness.

5.

"Huh? Do you really want to know about that?" asked Itsuki, her hand frozen in the middle of checking a test.

Mutsumi's reply was a silent but determined nod.

Itsuki pursed her lips. On one hand, she's always had a hard time saying no to her adorable daughter but on the other hand...

Itsuki blushed like the schoolgirls she taught. Even if it was Mutsumi, she couldn't help but feel shy or maybe it was exactly because of Mutsumi.

Composing herself, Itsuki prodded Mutsumi close to whisper the moment she had fallen for her father.

The girl moved her ear to Itsuki's mouth as Itsuki told her. Mutsumi's expression didn't change the whole tale. It was only when the two finally separated that she spoke up.

Itsuki wasn't exactly sure why so she was oddly nervous watching the unusually serious six-year old

"Mommy...that's the exact same moment daddy told me too."

"Eh?"

"I asked daddy when he fell for you and he told me the same thing." Mutsumi paused before pointing to Itsuki. "Ah! Mommy's blushing."

"You...!"

Soon, a mother-daughter pile was formed as Itsuki jumped to hug her giggling daughter.

Some days, Itsuki felt Mutsumi was too like her father.

AN: Just some short and cute mother-daughter interactions. Most of the info is gotten from the volume intros.

All Mutsumi's are slightly different.
