Neighbor's Daughter (restarted for Kawaii)

Daniel Turran was a 25 year old single man. He worked with an older man in an office building, and occasionally played poker or drank tea with the older man. He had known the man for a while, having been neighbors as well. As such, he had watched the man's daughter grow from a thin, gangly teenager into a gorgeous, busty 19 year old woman. Her father often joked about marrying the two of them, but Daniel just laughed it off. Still, he had to admit the attraction was there, at least, on his part. That night, he had been invited over for a small party. So there he was, sipping at sake and trying not to miss any of the jokes. He shook his head, noticing that his friend had fallen asleep in his seat, his head down on the table with a cup of sake near him. Daniel sighed, then looked around. That's when he noticed Usagi coming down the stairs, in a pair of bootyshorts and a tight tanktop, one hand in front of her mouth as she yawned.

He'd always wondered why his older friend had named his daughter Usagi. It literally meant Rabbit in Japanese. It was kind of silly. But she definitely looked like she could be a Playboy bunny, with the body she had.

Waking up from her nap, she noitced it was later then she realized. Hearing some laughter downstairs she heard a thump. Putting on her glasses she put her hair in a pony tail, she couldnt help but roll her eyes. Her dad always went a bit..over board. Walking down stairs she looked up and saw Dan. With a small smile she waved. "Hi Dan." she said in her sof chime like voice. Usagi then turned to her dad and looked at him. Shaking her head. "Dan....can you hel me bring him to the couch?" she asked quietly.

Propping her dad on her shoulder she waited for the two of them to put him on the couch. Usagi went upstair and got his blanket, laying it on her father. Turning to her dad's good friend she cocked her head. "Sorry he fell asleep on you...." she said trailing off. Daniel was veryhandsome..but he used to make fun of her...so she tried to stay away from him..she used to cry about it and her dad told her it was a joke...but...she didt like it. Shying away suddenly she began to walk away. "Um...good to see you..."

Dan shook his head, seeing how out of it the old man was. Then he smiled at Usagi as she made her way down the stairs. At her request, he nodded, taking the old man's other shoulder and helped maneuver him onto the long couch. As Usagi covered her father up with a blanket, Daniel grabbed one of the extra pillows, and put it under the man's head. When she apologized, Dan shook his head, and laughed. "And he's worried about me holding my liquor."

When Usagi turned to walk away, suddenly going shy and seemingly upset, he frowned. Then he cleared his throat, and nodded. "Um. Good to see you too, Little Bunny. Though I guess I can't really call you little anymore, huh?" He looked her up and down a moment, then looked away, realizing he was being rude. "Anyways, I should probably head home soon. Unless you need me to help you with anything."

Turning to glance at him, a small giggle escaped her lips. "I am always little...." she said in a whisper. Sure, she had grown a lot over the years. But so had Dan. He used to be a lot meaner...but he seemed to have gotten a bit sweeter. Then she remembered. "Oh!" she realized. "I-I-I remember your birthday being a week ago..I forgot to give you your gift." running up the stairs she opened her drawer. Got the gift out and jumped back down the stairs.

Almost triping she squealed a bit and blushed. Then gave him two peices of paper. "It isnt much...but dad told me you wanted to see that band you love so much...So here you go." she said handing him the tickets. "You can take Daddy...And um...Hapy birthday." she said sheepishly and waved as she went upstairs. Truth was...when she was that gangly teen he used to see...she had a crush on her dad's friend...but, it disappeared after being made fun of so many a times....Closing the door she laid in bed and just listened to her ipod.

Dan blinked, finding himself suddenly holding two concert tickets. He looked at them for a moment, then at her as she darted back upstairs. He frowned, then shook his head, and stuck the tickets in his pocket. He walked up the steps slowly and knocked on the attic door that was Usagi's. He waited for a few moments, then realized she must have been listening to music. He tilted his head, then shook his head. He walked back downstairs slowly, and headed outside and towards his house next door. He yawned, looking at his watch, and then nodded slowly as he entered the house and headed for his bedroom, stripping down. He'd never noticed that most of his windows provided an unobstructed view for Usagi from her room should she choose to look.
