Octavia's POV

The date was almost here (again) I didn't know what to do but at least I was in the present.

Aio had gone off to get ingredients for the dinner he'd be making it was going to be completely non-formal but I was gonna leave while he prepared I wanted to be surprised but that's not why I'm nervous.

The realisation that I was the daughter of Octavio was. I wanted to tell Aio but I couldn't find a way and the other memory confused me about this because it says I'm not really an octarian at least not by normal means. It was incomplete and had no sound so I didn't know what I was.

I thought well into the night I knew I had to tell him soon but when and how!?

Why does love have to be so complicated?

Aio's POV

It was the day of my date she had left early in the morning to visit Octo Canyon and check in on the splatoon which gave me time to prepare the dinner.

I had asked Frozo to help me set up the decorations but I didn't listen to any of his dating advice just in case we were finished early so he left while I prepared the dinner I was going to make the classic spaghetti nothing special but hey this was informal so who cares the pasta was still cooking when I got a phone call

"what's up?" I asked

"Hey Aio we found the location of some great octoweapons after you're recovered can you check them out?" Callie asked

"sure, as long as it's not tonight" I told her than ended the call the scars from being tortured were beginning to fade so I wanted to enjoy at least tonight. I took the spaghetti off the stove while I was preparing it for dinner I had time to think

"wonder what Octavia's up to?"

"I hope she enjoys herself here I worked hard on this it would be a shame for it to go to waste"

"I hope that our enemies at least let us enjoy one night together"

I had finished preparing and had put the plates on the table nothing could ruin this day for me.

Octavia's POV

It was time I had fixed my hair and done all the other things I needed to do to prepare for the date but I was glad I was dressed casually I had on a simple pink shirt and had on my neo Octoling boots and had put a red rose in my hair I hoped that I looked good I walked towards the apartment.

I had decided I would tell Aio that I was Octavio's daughter before dinner I just hope he takes it well I had arrived I knocked on the door it opened and what I saw was my Hero of Love standing there with a smile on his face

"hello and welcome to casa de Aio where we'll be serving only the finest of spaghetti" he said I smiled why did he always try to make me laugh I focused

"look Aio I need-" I started but he cut me off

"come inside your table is ready" he said letting me in he had done well he had blue and hot pink roses on the table while he had scattered rose petals on the floor and he had set mood lighting it looked great I took a breath to speak but he pulled out my chair for me I sat than he also sat down

"Aio I need to tell you something" I said I was nervous he must've noticed

"what is it Octavia you know you can tell me" he said I took a deep breath trying to calm down it didn't work

"well I now know who my parents are-" I started again he cut me off but he was excited

"that's great Octavia who are they?" he asked

"well here's the thing only my dad is alive I think but...I'm afraid to say-" I said this time I blamed myself for his interruption I had left to big a pause

"well don't be it's great that your dad's alive" he said he had already started eating I haven't even touched my food yet.

"he is alive but here's the thing I don't think he'd like you-" I said he interrupted yet again he had to stop this

"woah hold on there we aren't even dating I mean sure we are on a date but it's technically our first date and-" he said I had to tell him it was now or never

"My dad is DJ Octavio!" I told him I closed my eyes, afraid of what I might see.

I opened my eyes again, Aio had his head down obscuring it from view he was shaking he muttered something

"what did you say?" I asked cautiously he repeated himself louder this time

"get out." he told me steel in his tone

"w-what?" I asked then he stood

"GET OUT!!" he yelled at me he grabbed his inkbrush (why it was lying nearby, I had no idea) and charged I ran to the door after leaving I slammed it behind me just as he swung his brush down almost knocking the door down

"GO BACK FROM WHERE YOU CAME, YOU OCTARIAN MENACE!!" he shouted through the door I ran tears streaming down my face as I did so.

It now seems that my Hero of Love hates me.
