It was a warm day. He could feel it. Literally. Lying outstretched in a very warm patch of grass, far enough away from the little devils and their adoring parents that their shrill voices barely registered in his head as white noise, Shisui was feeling abnormally lethargic and lazy at the moment. His senses were dulled and his body felt like it weighed thrice as much as it usually did, but right at that moment, he couldn’t bring himself to care when the sun’s warmth was so pleasant against bare arms and face.

Somewhere to his right, in the direction of children’s joyous screams, he could hear Hikari’s ecstatic bark followed by distinctive high pitched laughing. Something about the sound nagged at Shisui’s sluggish mind. His brows furrowed as he tried to pinpoint what it was exactly; it wasn’t until he couldn’t hear his guide dog’s excited noises anymore did he realize she had been farther and farther away the entire time. With a groan, more for show than anything else, the nineteen year old sat up and shook his head to clear out the last stubborn strands of drowsiness. 

The raven haired young man dragged his backpack gently onto his guide dog’s abandoned harness before he set off to find her. ‘It’s not like I didn’t know this would happen,’ he thought wryly, smiling despite himself. He should’ve paid more attention to Hikari, knowing how friendly and excitable she was out of the harness, but what’s done is done. Shisui wasn’t too worried though; she was a smart dog, and probably wouldn’t get in trouble. Probably.

... Ok. Now he was worried. The Uchiha picked up the pace to a slightly faster walk, heading towards the playground where he’d heard her last. His worry grew the closer he got, since he couldn’t tell her barks apart from the other dogs at the park. Just as the ground under his feet shifted from the sand pit to the rubber signalling the edge of the playground equipment, someone’s hand grabbed his arm and yanked. It was all he could do not to fall on his ass, and his irritation on top of his worry caused him to lash out at the stranger.

“Yes, yes I am. Thank you for noticing,” he snapped, yanking his arm away and taking an awkward step back. “Kinda hard to do when you’ve got no eyes, asshole. What the fuck are you even talking about?!” Shisui bared his canines in an aggressive manner at the other person, mind subconsciously noting down his traits. Young, male, with a husky voice and straight forward personality? Huh.

It took him a moment, but when he finally realized how rude he was being, Shisui concentrated on his breathing to try and calm himself down. When he found himself gritting his teeth, he realized it wasn’t working and moved to try something else. The Uchiha’s now free hand reached up to his own nape, fingers deftly entangling themselves into his locks and pulling at them harshly to clear his mind. “Shit,” he breathed out apologetically once he’d reigned in his temper, “I’m sorry for being so harsh man. My guide dog ran off with some kids and I’m worried about her.”

Well... this is awkward || Shisui & Naruto

The park is bustling with people, the air alive with the sounds of laughter, and the ever present squeal of children as they chase each other up and around the plastic slides and swing sets. Naruto feels a pang in his chest as he watches them. He can’t help but see a little girl with short, dark hair and a young boy with bright, blond hair, both their cheeks adorned with whisker marks so alike his own, in the kids who race past him. 

He sets his takeaway food aside, and leans back against the rough bark of a towering oak tree, enjoying the shade its branches and leaves provide. This park is the only place in Pendulum that makes him feel closest to Konoha, to home. Fishing his phone out of his pocket, he confirms that he has about another twenty minutes before he has to get back to the book store. 

As he continues to watch the people around him, a figure catches his attention: a man, tall and lean, cutting across the park, heading right for the swing sets. There is nothing particularly unusual about the scene, save for the man’s gait; there’s something off about his gait, though Naruto can’t quite put a finger on it. The way the man is walking seems… almost uncertain, his hands stretched slightly out in front of him.

Naruto watches as the man edges closer to the swing set. He frowns as the man makes no move to stop despite nearing the front of the swing set where children were swinging fast and high. The man takes another step, and then another, and Naruto’s up on his feet, dashing across the space between them. He reaches the man just as a kid is swinging towards him, fear bright in the child’s wide eyes as she tries–but fails–to stop the swing’s descent, and yanks the man out of the way. 

“Dude, what the hell! Are you blind? Watch where you’re going next time ‘ttebayo!” Naruto snaps at the stranger, his hand still firm on the other’s elbow. “You wouldn’t have died sure, but a kick like that would’ve hurt a lot y’know.”

“Any secret admirers?”

“I wish,” he smiled ruefully, shaking his head. “It’s too early for me to tell, I think. I’ve only been here for a week or so man.” Popping a piece of strawberry candy into his mouth, Shisui held out the bag in Naruto’s general direction, waving it enticingly. “How about you? Falling in love with me yet?” the Uchiha joked, wiggling his eyebrows in a really weird way, smiling in a way that showed off his canines just so.

Moving In

@prodigyitachi

"This is your stop, Uchiha." Shisui felt the car jerk to stop and after a couple of deep breaths to recompose himself, he pasted a bright smile onto his lips and unbuckled his seatbelt. With a cheerful goodbye and the help of the attendant beside him, the nineteen year old stepped out of the vehicle with his dog by his side.

Other than the clothes he was currently wearing and a backpack of some items he'd been given in the hospital, Shisui was empty handed and felt wholly underprepared for living on his own and caring for Hikari. Already, he could feel the frustration he's trying so hard to tamp down begin to bubble up, alongside unfamiliar anxiety and paranoia. 

The Uchiha ran his free hand through his curly locks, head turned down towards his guide dog. "We're screwed aren't we," he murmured softly, shaking his head as he stubbornly forced himself to stay optimistic. That is, until he realized the driver from the hospital had already left and he had no idea where he was other than ‘somewhere near his new home.’ 

Shit.

Why should I be bitter About someone who was A complete stranger Until a certain moment In a day that has passed.

SAIGYÔ (12th century)

[stagnantrivers-blog]

“Oh? I wonder if any of them are people I’ve known?” He mused aloud, canines bared in his signature smile of excitement. “I’ll have to look them up when I can.” Shisui had no idea how he was going to go about it, since he was by all accounts new to the city and its inhabitants, but he hadn’t made ANBU by pure chance. He’d figure it out.

Running a hand through his hair, the nineteen year old nodded in assent, waving that same hand distractedly. “I don’t see why not, I don’t think we’re making breakfast for the children to-” He paused at her soft spoken offer, completely blindsided. Something else to add to his ‘Very short list of what I know about Hyuuga Hinata;’ She was generous and knew how to cook. “Ah, I would love one Hyuuga-san! Are there any ones with blueberries?”

After a year of hospital mush, anything even remotely homemade was like a gift from the gods to Shisui. His smile grew wider as his excitement grew, and he abruptly stood up from the table and headed in the general direction to wash his hands. “You made them yourself right?” he asked, hands outstretched just in time to meet the tiled counter, then spreading along casually in search of the sink. From behind, he could hear the scratch of Hikari’s nails against the tiled floor before it abruptly stopped. Absentmindedly, the side of his hand brushed against the faucet; he adjusted his positioning accordingly and began to rinse his hands of dog hairs.

It wasn’t until he heard her footsteps move away from the doorway that he allowed the front door of the daycare to close behind him. Shisui nudged Hikari gently with the side of his calf as he began to walk, murmuring a quiet ‘forward’ once the dog got up from the ground. He followed the dog into what he could only assume was the kitchen, a hand reaching out for a chair and pulling it out. 

Not quite surprised at the blunt question, the Uchiha sat down and let Hikari’s snout brush up against his leg. “I arrived at Pendulum just under a year ago, but I had to stay in the hospital and therapy until just a couple of days ago actually.” Humming in acknowledgement, shisui absentmindedly began to pet the chocolate lab. “Were any of them close?” he asks quietly, not quite caring about how personal it was. A question for a question was fair enough for him.

[stagnantrivers-blog]

“What are you doing? Why are you on one knee? Get up! Get up!”

“You don’t like flowers?” he asked her, genuinely confused as he got up from where he’d stopped stopped in the street. “I’ve got,” he continued on once he was steady on his own two feet, ignoring that uncomfortable feeling of being stared at, “White Camellias, Tiger Lilies, Yellow Lilies and Poppies, Red and White Rosebuds, Stock,  and Snapdragons. So, what do you think?” His canines were bared in his best smile, still holding out the bouquet.

letters to juliet sentence meme

feel free to change the pronouns and things to fit your muse!

“no, i’m not a writer.”

“i really thought i would never find you!”

“to be honest, i really don’t feel like going 100 kilometers to see a mushroom.”

“how long have you and ____ been engaged?”

“i have to write her back.”

“i’m sorry, i didn’t know true love had an expiration date.”

“i’m not lonely, i’m engaged.”

“i honestly think she has no interest in meeting a woman that can manage to jam ‘oh my god’ and ‘awesome’ in the same sentence.”

“_____ doesn’t approve. but that makes this all the more fun!”

“what’s so romantic about eating in the dirt?”

“let’s not invalidate my entire existence.”

“i’m _____. do you remember?”

“what is it with you and men? they fall at your feet!”

“i just didn’t have you pinned down as the save-humanity type at all.”

“i’m not a big believer in happy endings.”

“are you insinuating that i’m more of the type to be dumped rather than do the dumping?”

“if i found the love of my life, i wouldn’t stand there like an idiot, whispering in the garden. i would grab her off of that blasted balcony and be done with it.”

“i don’t expect you to understand any of this because you don’t know a thing about real loss.”

“i never should’ve kissed you. i was completely out of bounds.” 

“an angel brought you to me.”

“we’re family. so i think you’ll understand why i’m telling you you’re a total idiot.”

“i love who you are. but i’ve changed.”

“you look beautiful.”

“but it’s too late. it’s clearly too late.”

“i love you. i can’t believe i just said that, but i do.”

“are you gonna kiss me?”

[stagnantrivers-blog]

“Yeah," he scoffed. "Nothing says ‘I love you’ more than a bouquet that’ll die in two days.”

<3

“Well I think they’re rather pretty,” Shisui protested, shoving the gift in the general direction of the guy’s voice. “Or at least the florist told me they were. Don’t be such a hard ass, it’s Valentine’s Day!” In his hand, wrapped neatly in a really soft bow were Amaryllises, Zinnias, and Begonias, with a couple of Sunflowers and Rhododendrons for variety. He’s pretty sure the florist guy was trying to tell him something with all these weird flowers. People don’t usually give other people bouquets like this on Valentine’s, do they?

VALENTINE’S INSPIRED MEMES

“He loves me, he loves me not… oh.”

“She loves me, she loves me not… oh.”

“I don’t think it’s love…”

“So, is there anyone you’re secretly crushing on?”

“I don’t even like chocolate.”

“Yeah, nothing says ‘I love you’ more than a bouquet that’ll die in two days…”

“I’m not sure if they’re a secret admirer or a stalker… but at least they have good taste in gifts.”

“Oh! It’s my favourite time of year.”

“If I send a mass text to all the people I like, I don’t need to get all of them gifts do I?”

“I’ve never had a Valentine.”

“Will you be my Valentine?”

“Do you have a Valentine yet?”

“No one ever serenades me any more.”

“Just don’t write a song and play it in front of everyone again… it’s embarrassing.”

“Any secret admirers?”

“Oh, so you’re my secret admirer?”

“I may have been admiring you not so secretly.”

“Just because you like me doesn’t mean the feeling is mutual.”

“Seeing as we’ve both not got anyone, do you want to come to mine and watch a film?

“We’re never getting back together.”

“So, he got me a teddy bear, but we fought and he tore off it’s head.”

“How about instead of being ridiculous on one day of the year, you just be a decent partner for the other 364 days?!”

“We’re not together any more.”

“If you haven’t booked a table we definitely won’t get to eat there on such short notice.”

“It’s just Valentine’s day… I don’t see the big deal.”

“What do you mean you didn’t get me anything?”

“I’m feeling sick, is it okay if we arrange our date for another night?”

“I’m not sure if they’re a secret admirer or a stalker….”

“Well… they don’t know I’m going out with you so we’re going to have a girls night sitting in and cry about being single…”

“I’ve got the lube and strawberries, we’re all set!”

“I got out the whipped cream and she slammed the door in my face.”

“I am not wearing that.”

“When he said he would give me a pearl necklace, I thought I was getting actual jewelry.”

“It would have been a lot more romantic if you de-thorned the rose before you put it in your mouth…”

“I’m all for dressing up… but, how do you wear this?”

“If I see another couple holding hands, I’ll… I’ll-”

“Young love, isn’t it sweet?”

“Who did you get all these roses for?”

“I don’t love you, I’m just here for the chocolate.”

“So, let me get this right, you want me to be a stand in to make the person you like jealous?”

“Valentines? Pft!”

“That’s the least romantic thing anyone has ever said to me…”

“What are you doing? Why are you on one knee? Get up! Get up!”

“My mum gave me a rose because she felt sorry for me.”

“Look, you can buy me all the chocolates in the world, I still won’t go out with you.”

“A diamond ring? I appreciate the offer… but don’t you think this is a bit… excessive?”

A question for a question was fair enough for him.

Shisui waited for the visitor to introduce themself (selves?), feeling sillier and sillier as the seconds passed without a sound. He had just about made up his mind to call for Hikari and dismiss this as a fluke when he was stopped by a hesitant voice. “Am I?” Is all he could think of to reply, settling down into a squat and whistling for his guide dog. 

He found her statement quite odd, to say the least. ‘Home?’ he wondered to himself as he absently reached for the harness leaning against the wall, his other hand held out for Hikari to approach. His only home for the past year or so was the stark nothingness of the medical facility where he’d stayed and learned to be blind, and before that was… His hand slipped and the harness fell onto the floor in surprise before he could recover. Mumbling a cuss word under his breath (he took a quick second to thank the heavens none of the children were around), Shisui hurriedly grabbed it and slipped it around his Lab’s front legs.

 Even if the woman, for that was what he assumed they were from their voice and name, decided not to stay, her arrival signaled the end of break time for them both. The dark haired youth paused in his task when the lady began to speak once more, head tilted up just slightly enough to convey his attention. “Ah, not at all! You’re fine, Hyuuga-san.” It only took him a few moments to finish clipping the harness to the handle, and a few seconds more to find the end and stand up, his smile just a little bit more genuine than before. 

“So… Konoha?” he asked her as casually as he could, mind already racing through all the Hyuuga clansmen he knew and comparing them to what little he knew of his unexpected visitor. Female, named after a sunflower… He quickly shook out his thoughts and smiled toothily, moving back a little, his left hand holding the black handle laxly. “That sounds amazing! You make them yourself?” He takes another step back, keeping the door open with his shoulder as he faces the direction of her voice. “Ah, forgive my manners Hyuuga-san. The children aren’t expected to for a while yet, why don’t you come in and have a seat?”

[stagnantrivers-blog]

Holy shit guys I think I’m in the wrong timezone > > All of you are only replying at like, midnight.

Anyways, I’ll be moving to mobile soon so if I don’t reply on messages, you can send me an ask and i’ll see if i can reply there. Good night <3

It had taken Shisui a good fifteen minutes to arrive at his new workplace, which was honestly astonishing compared to the hour and a half from the day before. He was lucky to have such an understanding employer, who taken it all in stride and introduced him to the children. Now that he actually had the time to prepare, the Uchiha was working on memorizing the daycare’s layout while Hikari, his guide dog, lay beside door with her harness off. She had deserved the rest, and he really hated feeling helpless. Better to fumble around like a fool for a moment than rely on a handicap for the rest of his days.

The nineteen year old was just getting to the cubby holes along the sides of the walls when Hikari began to bark and scratch at the door, something he had learned early on meant that visitors were at the door. Startled, for the owner had stepped out to get the snacks for the day and no one was expected to arrive for another half hour, the young man quickly righted himself and turned his body to face the barking. “I’ll be right there, please be patient!” he called out hurriedly, turning around and reaching for the low table he remembered being nearby. With one hand hovering above the wall, Shisui gradually made his way over to where Hikari was still barking. It was only when his outstretched hand met the glass beside the door that he relaxed, gently nudging his Chocolate Lab aside while his hands felt along the door for the doorknob.

Mustering up his ‘polite for all occasions’ smile, Shisui pulled it open and greeted whoever was outside. “Hello! I’m Uchiha Shisui, the new assistant. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Once leaving the book store, Hinata felt a little more comfortable knowing that what she prepared each and every day was not going to waste. While the heiress enjoyed the sweet side of life, even she had her limits on how much she could stomach.

Stepping up towards the front door to a daycare she passed on her way to work most mornings. It wasn’t due to open for a good thirty minutes yet. Knocking lightly with a box in hand. Curiously peeking in to see if there was anyone up front. A smile in seeing all the colorful pictures some of the children had drawn. It had Hinata thinking back to a certain little girl that loved to color in her previous location. Hima-chan’s hung work filled her side of the room. Weight shifting from one sneaker to the other, now was not the time to reminisce.
