Bad bug jokes with Shino and friends 🪲

Also featuring Boro’s girl, Reina~

“can you read to me?” with shino and katsura for @kankuroplease EH (because i think theyd be so cute)

Shino lived for days like this. A quiet summer breeze in the afternoon, drifting through the open window. No assignments to grade or prepare because he'd already dilligently completed his work for the week.

He sat, reading quietly a text about the social hierarchy of the ambrosia beetle, a cup of green tea cooling at his side as he let the sounds of the village outside gently waft in and out of focus.

When the front door opened and closed, Katsura's soft, "I'm home," fiindng his ears, Shino closed the book over his index finger to welcome her back. His kikaichu buzzed happily, anxious as always for her return.

He tried not to smile when she came around the corner, the frustrated furrow of her brows already evident in the irritated huff of her voice when she announced her return.

"How was your day?"

Katsura frowned at him.

Shino did smile, then, as she settled down on the couch beside him, arms folded petulantly over her chest as she pouted. "People can be so annoying," she said, but didn't elaborate.

Katsura had been happy to retire from active shinobi work. Baking and writing had always been her passions, and Shino delighted in watching her pursue them. That did not mean, of course, that some days were just as frustrating as some she'd spent as a kunoichi.

Shino brushed a strand of Katsura's long hair back over her shoulder, letting his fingers trail gently over her neck just enough to make her scrunch up as she tried in vain not to snort.

"Knock it off!" she cried, swatting him away so he couldn't tickle her.

His smile broadened at the lovely blossom of pink over her cheeks and nose, licking up toward her ears. She was always beautiful, of course, but he thought he might prefer her a little flustered.

"Come here," Shino said gently, moving his hands so Katsura knew he meant for her to lie down in his lap, her head against his thighs like a pillow.

It took less than a moment for her to relent, sliding down so she could lie comfortably on her side, facing away from him. Her hands wrapped around one of his thights and Shino settled his hand into her hair, coming it with his fingers as he turned his attention back to his book.

"Can you read to me?" she asked, and he looked down to find Katsura closing her eyes.

"Of course," he said, taking a sip of his cold tea and clearing his throat before he picked up where he'd left off a few minutes prior: "Ambrosia beetles display a level of altruism once thought impossible for insects. First detected within their colonies, many members forgo the biological rites of reproduction in order to ensure the health and longevity of the whole..."

His voice continued softly long into the afternoon, with Katsura eventually dozing in his lap, his beetles humming contentedly beneath his skin.

The sounds of Konoha still drifted in through the window with the warm breeze, even as the sun began to set.

Shino smiled. He lived for days just like this.

Home for the Holidays

This is for the Hidden Shinobi Hideout Holiday exchange! <3 My gift goes to @kankuroplease!! I was soo lucky to draw my dear dear friend. Merry Christmas!

Dearest C. I'm so happy I had you for this end of year exchange so i can give you one last gift before the year ends! I am so very fortunate that you decided to conatct me in March and work with me, when I was until then just a big fan from afar. I used to be so intimidated by you and so scared to even send you messages even after we started collaborating. It is weird that I thought you are too proud to talk to most people and that I would just be abother, when in reality you really just want to be nerdy with other people. I had so much fun with you this year, when we were 3 and now that we are only 2 still. I am so proud to have you as a friend, so thankful to be able to rant to you for whatever I want to rant about, for every little drawing you've made for me during this year, for your company and support. I wish you a great Christmas Day today and hope we continue this friendship into the next year (and beyond!) Cant wait for our art collab and whatever we cook up together next. I love you, sending you many hugs. Thank you for being in my life.

Back from her world travels in Japan Katsura runs into an old friend she hasn't seen in a while.

When Katsura opened the door and the little jingle went off to alert the members inside of another visitor, she couldn’t help but sigh at the wave of nostalgia radiating from the view of what was inside. The tattoo parlour looked exactly the way she had last seen it,  down to the black and red leather interior. This felt more like coming home than stepping foot into Konoha had.

What was different, however, was how empty it was. There was nothing of the usual hustle that came with clients, usually yakuza members, entering and leaving the parlour, demanding this tattoo or that. Katsura hadn’t been here often while she still lived in this part of the city, but often enough to get used to it.

Now there was only Sai sitting at his usual place, deeply focused on cleaning his usual work tools. Katsura didn’t know much about him, not beyond what Sakura had told her. Sai hadn’t gone to school with them and since she had mainly been travelling since graduation, she had never really met him except for in passing.

Most of the year Katsura found herself in the hot and humid climate of the south american rainforest or in the dry, cold and stormy mountains in north america. Sometimes she hiked through thick dark forests in central Europe and then, on occasion, she was also back in Asia like right now. And when she was in Asia, she often took at least one detour to Japan, until it took her to another continent again. Someone had to check up on her sister sometime, especially since she was living in such a dangerous territory.

“Hi,” Katsura said and stepped next to Sai. “Uh- ‘s Sakura around?”

Sai looked up and closed his eyes to a smile. “In the back,” he pointed to the door at the back of the studio. “But I would not go there right now.”

She considered this. On one hand the very limited things she knew about Sai told her that he was not going to lie about stuff like that. Sakura had said several times over the phone that the Sai was almost too brutally honest for his own good. If he wasn’t under Yamato’s and by extension Kakashi’s protection it could have landed him in a hotbed several times before. On the other hand Sakura had asked Katsura to come round at this exact time and might just be in the back getting ready to go out.

It was worth trying it out, she decided and nodded to Sai: “I’ll check anyway.” The other just shrugged his shoulders and went back to cleaning his tools.

The door to the backroom was only leaning and Katsura could easily push it open with a few fingers. She heard things before she saw them. The low hums and moans, the sucking noise that reminded her of a vacuum cleaner, the whispered words. Right then her fight or flight reflex kicked in and her brain violently went forward and back between just turning around or seeing what was going on.

If only the flight reflex had won. If only. Instead, she felt compelled to check. Katsura pushed the door open just a little more, a few more inches so she could look easier through it and then let out a gasp at the image in front of her eyes. Sakura was there indeed, sandwiched in the middle of what seemed to be Sasuke and Naruto. One had his head buried in her neck and one at her throat on the front. 

The gasp had been louder than she had intended to and Sakura’s eyes flew open and to the door, but Katsura had already turned on her heel. “I told you,” Sai said calmly as she ran by, but she didn’t feel it dignified an answer.

She was angry, flying with rage and shame. Sakura had been her friend since childhood, for years! She had told Katsura to come by at this time so they could play catchup, and then decided to engage in such things with those guys. Naruto especially always gave Katsura this ick that she could not explain. He was too excited for his own good, too oblivious at the world around him, naive to a fault. 

Uh, she should have known that these people knew no shame. When she was young, Katsura had stayed away from this parlour which was then owned by Naruto’s parents. They had already been notorious for the shady stuff that was going on there, so of course the new owner just let this business continue. It was also no surprise to her that the employees would be doing such disgusting things at the workplace, since they lacked any structure.

What was it with people and their excessive need to be horny all the time anyway? She had travelled all over the world and never met anyone that she felt incredibly drawn toward. Men could be handsome and women could be beautiful, but nobody was “I wish I could undress this person in a public place”- handsome or beautiful.

She stomped out of the store and back into the snow that lay heavy and thick in front of it. It was cold here in Konoha, way too cold for her that had just returned from South America without an adequate winter jacket. But in her defence, she did think that she was just meeting a friend for a lunch date and that would most likely happen inside. She didn’t think that she would have to spend so much time outside.

Distracted by her own anger she saw the wall only when her head was already crashing into it. A big, grey wall that had appeared right in the middle of the sidewalk. Katsura stumbled backward and then found herself steadied by an arm before her feet could slip on the ice. 

“I’m sorry, you seem to have crashed into me,” a male voice said in a low timber and Katsura looked up to realise the wall was not a wall at all, but just a very tall human man in a grey long coat. She hummed and then went back onto her feet with a mumbled thank you.

It took her a moment to recognise him, or better said, she only recognised him when she followed his chin up to the sunglasses on his nose. There was only one person she’d ever known who wore sunglasses inside the house. Well, two, him and his father. 

“Oh – It is you Shino,” she said and put her head on her neck to look up to him. Had he always been this incredibly tall? He seemed twice her height.

She couldn’t see his eyes moving underneath his shades but she imagined them narrowing as he scanned the length of her. “Katsura.” He said it like he had just decided on that name for her. Then: “Nice to see that you are back.”

Katsura waved with her hand. Shino and her had always had a very peculiar relationship. They had both been obsessed with bugs since they were kids, cataloguing and analysing them and hunting and freeing them and most of all defending them from annoying bug-haters. But he had slighted her as a kid, which she had never really forgiven him, no matter how nice he had turned out to be later.

“I was in Brazil”, she said. “Got myself a tan and a new tropical ladybug species.” She grinned. She couldn’t help but brag. 

He let out a low chuckle, which took her completely by surprise. “I’ve seen your pictures on social media. Congratulations, that was a great find.” 

Despite the cold her cheeks warmed. “T-Thanks.” She didn’t know what else to say.

“I’ve become an Entomologist too, but I specialise in Greater Japan or rather this area. Preservation rather than exploration.” A smile appeared on his face. “Though I can’t help but be a little jealous. That butterfly you found in the Rocky Mountains? Outstanding grey colours.”

Katsura huffed and shook her head. “Oh, I’m sure what you do is great too. Though - that butterfly really was incredibly interesting. Did you know it can survive even at lower altitudes?”

“I do now.” Shino put his hands in his pocket. She watched as she waved her arms to explain to him how this species specifically had adjusted so well to its surroundings and how it was- in fact - masterful in what it did. 

After a while her hands felt so cold that she shuddered, which did not escape his keen eyes, sunglasses or not. “I would love to hear more,” he said softly, “but maybe we should go inside. What do you think about going to a cafe?”

Caught off guard a little she stammered: “Uh- Uh, I had- a thing…” but then she remembered what Sakura was doing right now instead of their meeting and her eyes hardened for a moment. “Sure, I’d love to. I have all the time in the world.”

-

Shino picked a cafe at the very border of Uchiha territory, just a street down the Hyuuga were ruling the underworld. It was run by a local that Katsura did not know and was cosy enough to feel warm and homely even on a snowy, cold day like this. 

“Wow, what a lucky pick!” she said as she sat down in the big red seats. “A place like this is a real find.”

He took his coat off. “Yes, it is beautiful. I thought it would be perfect.”

Well any cafe would have been perfect really, she thought but didn’t say anything. 

Instead, she ordered a triple latte coffee because she really needed it after the day she’d had so far and all the jetlag still kind of pulled her underwater. Then she folded her fingers in front of her face and said: “Now, tell me about your job. What is your education? Did you go to University? What bugs are you raising?”

Shino smiled again at her barrage of questions and then he did something she had almost never seen him do: He took his sunglasses off.

This felt like that one time she had seen Kakashi-san without his surgical mask. This revelation that this part of Shino’s body actually existed and that the shades were not a permanent fixture on his face. Just that this time it felt a hundred times more incredible then when she had seen Kakashi.

His eyes were this deep, chocolate kind of brown, almost too incredible brown to be real. The light of the candle on the table was reflected in them like a mirage of light and Katsura had to immediately think of the million fireflies she had once seen on a tour in China. He was handsome with his hair combed back, the kind smile on his face and the shining eyes. 

“Is everything alright?” he asked and put his head to the side a little.

Katsura realised her mouth was hanging a little open and closed it quickly. “Yes, sorry..” She didn’t know what got into her. It took her more willpower than she wanted to admit to pull away from his face and remember what questions she had asked him. “So…”

“Right, about my education and work.” He smiled a little to himself, tipping lightly against the porcelain cup in front of him. “I am mostly working locally. We are growing some nearly extinct stag beetle species on our family compound, but so far the amount is still too little for them to be released into the wild…”

His low, calm voice and interesting topic of conversation lulled her a little, especially now that she felt warm and safe. While she was still intently listening, she wondered if he had always been this handsome or if he had just grown up to be. Shino had always been a person she had wanted to be close with, because his family was known to be specialists in insects, but for one reason or another it had never worked out. Mostly because he had slighted her as a kid and she could not forgive.

Turns out Shino did go to university and he had come out with a degree. This was not usual, especially not in their little, yakuza infested city. People often took up a trade that needed no education or straight up did crime. Katsura herself, as she told Shino as soon as he had finished telling his story, had left Konoha without any degree and just started travelling the world on her own merits. Working to earn money locally and then moving on. This way she had seen much more than she had ever planned.

“I’ve always wanted to go.” Shino said with a sigh. “It is incredible to work here where I am from and get to know more and more corners and such. But when I hear your stories it makes me feel like I want to get out more.”

Katsura took a sip of her coffee: “You could always join me on the next expedition.”

He smiled and she almost choked on her coffee accidentally. “I would love to go,” he said calmly. “But I don’t think it's possible.”

-

They had two more cups of coffee, way too much coffee if one was honest, and then Shino paid -for both of them. The weirdly intimate gesture had Katsura blush and when he held the door open so she could leave before him into the dark evening, she suddenly wondered if this entire thing had been something like a date. 

“I can walk you home still, if you want,” Shino offered and closed the zipper of his long coat. The shades were hiding his eyes again.

Katsura had never had a date before. Katsura had not even thought about dating before this But now Shino had invited her for coffee, he had brought her to a cosy place and asked her whereabouts and now he was trying to walk her home? That sure sounded like the end of a date.

She panicked. “Not necessary, I can find my way.” Her eyes avoided his face as much as they could while looking too suspicious. “T-Thanks for the coffee. Maybe I’ll see you around before I leave again.”

“Yes, hopefully,” she heard Shino say from behind as she was already walking away sternly, her heart hamming loud against her chest. 

-

Katsura walked back to her sister's apartment. For a moment she had wondered if she should go back and check the tattoo shop again, to see if Sakura had repented from letting her friend down in such a way as she had, but then Katsura decided against it. 

Aori also lived right at the border between Uchiha and Hyuuga district and worked on both sides of the metaphorical fence. Katsura felt like her hands were falling off from the cold as she entered the hallway and turned the key to get inside. Though she was rarely at home, Aori had obviously provided her with her own key anyway. More symbolic than practical.

There was noise coming from the kitchen. The slightly messy, stumbling steps of her sister were mixed up with the low, but always so incredibly loud voice of her boyfriend Might Gai, who, to Katsura’s endless misery, was around most of the evenings now.

It was not like Katsura hated Gai, he was connected enough to keep her sister safe enough and he was kind, and good to her, but his never relenting energy was a drag that Katsura was glad to flee from 96% of the year.

“Hello, young lady!” he waved at her as if she was a street away and not just standing right in front of him. “How was your meeting with your precious friend?”

Katsura let herself fall onto the tatami floor and put her feet under a blanket to warm them up. “She was busy,” she said shortly. “So I met with another old classmate of mine instead.”

She took a mini muffin from the table in front of her. Other than bugs, Katsura loved baking and since Aori could do a lot, but not that, she had spent the morning making muffins for all of them. Yes, even for Gai.

“Wonderful!” Gai let out. “It is great that you are still connected to all the people here. It is important to never forget your youth!”

Aori must have caught Katsura’s frown, because she interjected: “Which friend?”

“Aburame Shino.” Katsura bit into yet another muffin, most definitely spoiling her stomach for dinner, especially after the cakes she had had at the cafe.

“Oh, he is so nice.” Aori put her fingers together. “In summer he sometimes comes to the kindergarten I work at and instructs the children about fireflies and the like. He is really good at that. Very forthcoming and friendly…”

“And he looks quite good too..” Katsura mumbled.

“What?”

Katsura shook herself. “Nothing.”

Gai unfortunately apparently had ears like a bat and so he said: “I think Katsura just commented on the way young Shino has grown up quite handsome indeed.”

“Ah, really, Katsura?” Her sister couldn’t help but grin.

Katsura wasn’t going to take a lecture from Mrs has-a-crush-on-weird-guys so she shoved a few of her own made muffins into the pockets of her hoodie and got up with a “I’m not hungry right now.”

Aori yelled after her that they’d leave the stuff for her on the stove so she could eat later, but Katsura had already disappeared in the room that was currently her bedroom.

-

At night she dreamed about Shino, which was a bother.

In her dream, Shino took his sunglasses off again to look at her with the chocolate creamy eyes of his to ask her if he could accompany her on her travels. The her that was in the dream had blushed harder than Aori did when Gai gave her a compliment and had accepted with a loud stutter. Both things that were very unlike Katsura in many ways and when she woke up she was annoyed at herself.

Additionally, there were about 40 text messages from Sakura on her phone when she rolled over and picked it up. At least 30 “I’m sorry-s” and then 8 more messages asking Katsura for a new meetup time. The last two contained “I will just come by Aori-nee’s house in the morning before my shift” and then the last “I’ll be there at 10.” 

Katsura looked at the clock on her phone. It was 9.50. 

She peeled herself out of bed and took the quickest shower known to man to be ready on the couch with the tv running when the door opened and Sakura walked in. Her friend looked a little distressed.

“I’m so sorry!” Sakura said before she even said hello and threw herself down next to Katsura. “You know that feeling, when you think you can remember something without writing it down, but then you don’t remember? Well, that is not an excuse, but it is an explanation and I want you to know how deeply sorry I am.”

That had been about the gist of the 30 text messages too. Katsura let out a sigh. “It’s alright, I noticed you were - busy.”

When Sakura was shy she blushed like a school girl in a rom com, but when she was embarrassed her whole face turned red, right under the line of her cherry blossom hair. “The guys..” she mumbled, “... can be pretty distracting if there is nothing else to do. Especially when the adults are gone. I’m sure you get it.”

Katsura did not get it. What was so special about Uchiha Sasuke and especially Uzumaki Naruto that made them so irresistible? She had never understood how people in this town seemingly had such hots for each other all the time. She shook her head and then shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t, but it’s ok,”

Of course it was not ok for Sakure, who still looked very worried. “Sai told me only hours after you left. When I yelled at him and wanted to know why he didn’t tell me earlier, he said it was because I didn’t ask about it.” Sakura’s eyes hardened. “I will have to tell on him to Ino.”

“But in the end you were the one who forgot anyway. It’s not his fault.” Katsura raised a brow.

Sakura’s face fell once more. “You said you accept my apology.” She grabbed Katsura’s hand again and looked a little teary eyed.

Feeling like she had teased her old friend enough, Katsura smiled. “I do. I do. Look, you are here now and I see you are sorry. I mean, I ended up having a nice afternoon anyway.”

“Oh with Aori-nee?” Sakura also was smiling again.

“No, not with her. I ran into Shino.”

Sakura’s eyes widened a little. “Oh”, she said and it sounded like there was more weight behind the sound.

“Oh?” Katsura asked.

Her friend blinked and then found her usual friendly and calm facial expression again. “Oh I’m just surprised that it was him you ran into.” She shrugged her shoulders. “Did you do something nice?”

“He asked if I wanted to go to a cafe and we did. It was a tiny place, but very nice. We just talked and - why are you looking like this?” Sakura*s calm smile had somehow turned into a grin.

“It’s just… you know, Shino - his interests are so similar to yours, we always kind of thought you should be…close.”  Though Sakura had used much more diplomatic words, Katsura knew instantly what she meant with “close.” “But you just didn’t seem interested like that, which is of course alright. I have to admit though, that sometimes I felt like maybe he was.”

Katsura’s lip curled. Shino’s eyes appeared in her mind again, looking at her over the table, the way he had smiled while she talked, taking everything in with a calm she had never seen of anyone else. Had he possibly brought her there for some sort of date after all?

“Impossible,” she said, more to conclude her thoughts than as a reply.

Sakura shrugged her shoulders again. “I just think you guys would match, so maybe it is kind of wishful thinking on my part.”

“Seems like,” Katsura said, trying not to look into her friends’ face while her heartbeat felt so loud in her ears. “I mean its is like you said, I’m just not that kind of person.”

-

Christmas eve Katsura found herself squished between Aori and Sakura in a karaoke room that seemed way too small for the amount of people inside. In true cross generation fashion, Gai had invited all his friends, mostly Kakashi, his partners and Yamato, while Katsura had invited Sakura, who then had brought Sai, Naruto and Sasuke along. There were too many people in this hot room.

Alcohol had been flowing freely and now Gai, who had one arm wrapped around Aori, was singing passionately, his voice only lightly hitting the right notes. Katsura flinched each time his voice raised a little and wished it could just be Yamato signing again. She did not know the man well, but from the way he behaved and sounded he liked karaoke well enough and was good at it at least to some degree.

There was too much going on and it was hot plus the alcohol started to get to Katsura’s head too. When in foreign countries she sometimes drank with the locals, but not quite as much beer as here and not without eating a ton beforehand. She felt dizzy and tapped Sakura on the shoulder as if to say she was going to take a breather outside.

The room they were in was one of the largest of this newly opened karaoke place. It was in the centre of Uchiha district, not two streets from the tattoo shop Sakura worked at and was allegedly directly operated by Uchiha Shisui, who by all means would become Uchiha clan head someday. Katsura had asked Uchiha Obito, one of Kakashi’s partners, why Shisui, who had a reputation to be rather brutal in his underground activity, had decided to buy a karaoke place, but Obito had only shrugged and said: “Because he felt like it.”

Maybe it was a front for money laundering or whatever, Katsura thought and once again reminded herself not to stick her nose into things that weren’t hers to know. She wasn’t like Aori, who’s sense of righteousness made it almost impossible for her to turn a blind eye to injustice. Having Gai, who was strong, as a partner helped her only so much. Her good relations with Naruto and in extension Kakashi (also through Gai) kept her mostly safe.

Upstairs were the smaller rooms and Katsura came to a stop in front of one of them. Inside someone was passionately singing “Who let the dogs out” and howling in tune with the dog barks of the song. It made her laugh and with the alcohol having lowered her limit for embarrassment she stopped for a bit and howled along with the person singing inside.

She didn’t notice that the door had opened until a big figure suddenly threw a shadow on her face: “I didn’t know you were such a passionate singer.” It was Shino.

Katsura almost choked on her own spit trying to close her mouth fast. Of course, there was only one person that would passionately sing a song about dogs and howl along, Kiba, and if Shino was here now then that meant that the other person inside was probably Hinata. A Hyuuga deep in Uchiha territory. Times have really been peaceful lately.

“No, I just… thought it's a fun song,” she replied, feeling very suddenly and very unnecessarily hot. 

He smiled. “I didn’t know you were here either.”

“We are downstairs. I was just on my way to get some air.”

“So was I. Can I join you?” He gestured to the door and though she felt uneasy, Katsura nodded and then went ahead outside into the icy cold.

Shino was wearing his long coat again and though it was night out the sunglasses were right there on his eyes. Katsura caught a glimpse of herself in the reflection of the door and knew she looked a little red, but this could be put down to alcohol and heat, so there was nothing to worry about.

“You smoke?”  He asked and took a lighter out of his pocket. 

Katsura shook her head. “You?”

“No, I just have a lighter, if in case.” He let it sink back into his coat.

Then they both went quiet.

She sucked in the fresh air and tried to clear her mind a little, but despite the cold she could feel her fingers sweating. Shino leaned right next to her against the building wall, shoulder to shoulder, and somehow that made her more nervous than standing up and singing karaoke in front of Aori’s friends had.

“When will you leave again?” Shino asked friendly.

Katsura suddenly remembered the dream she had had, about him asking to come along. She pulled her shoulders up. “Day after tomorrow.” 

“Where to this time?”

Katsura weighed her head: “Australia.” 

Shino huffed in admiration. “Wow, there is so much to see there, I am a little envious of you for that.”

She really wanted to offer him to come along again, like she had that time in the cafe. But she remembered that he had said it was impossible and so why do it again anyway? Just to hear the same reply again? So instead of reaching out to him a second time she just hummed in agreement.

For a moment she could feel his eyes rest on the side of her face as if he was thinking of something intensely. In her mind she hoped that the blush she felt could pass up as her being cold. Then Shino laughed a little quietly: “But, well, the next few days I will spend time with my parents and siblings instead. Also not too bad.” 

Somehow she couldn’t shake the feeling that he was disappointed.

-

Gai was still asleep the next morning when Katsura and Aori sat opposite to each other at the breakfast table. He had a little much to drink the night before and needed a little more rest than the two women, not that Katsura’s head wasn’t also hammering violently.

She had just finished telling Aori of the encounter she had had the night before at the karaoke bar, which she had no time to talk about the night before. She was hesitating to tell her sister about her wish to ask Shino to come along with her on her travels. The sisters shared a lot with each other, but this seemed so weirdly personal.

“Hm, you keep running into Shino. Almost feels like destiny wants to tell you something.” Aori took a sip from her tea.

Katsura could feel the heat in her face again and looked away, hoping her sister hadn’t noticed. But Aori knew her sister too well to miss it. “Oh.” Aori chuckled.

“‘Oh’ again.” Katsura said, a little annoyed. “People keep saying that when I talk about Shino. It’s rude, you know.”

Her sister grinned: “Well, I guess there are other people who realise you have a crush on the guy.” Aori stopped exactly long enough so that Katsura’s cheeks could redden even deeper. “It’s no surprise really. You guys really would match well.” She made a face. “You have similar interests.”

“I don’t have a crush on him. He is just nice to me.”

Aori laughed. “Well if you want to live in denial.”

Katsura put her cup down, a little more aggressive than maybe necessary. “Just because you now have a  - well - “boyfriend”, does not mean you are the expert on love. You can’t even talk to him right when he compliments you.”

Now Aori was red too, but more of anger than embarrassment. She raised a brow in question. “Alright then Katsura.”

“Besides,” Katsura continued. “I’m leaving tomorrow. It is not like I would see him very often. Who knows when I’ll be back. And I can’t just ask him to come along so I can get to know him better.” She was rambling.

“Why not?” Aori asked, trying to hide her grin behind the cup of tea again.

“Because!” she shot back. “He told me he couldn't come with me the first time I asked and so how could I ask again?  He is busy, he has his students and his work and - and I don’t think he would be willing to spend time with me so I can figure my feelings- ” 

She stopped mid sentence, suddenly very aware of what she had just said out loud.

Aori finally set the cup back down. “So you have feelings for him.”

“I don’t know!” Katsura folded her arms in front of her body and pouted.

Her sister sighed. “I think you should ask him if he wants to come along with you. Or at least ask him why he said it’s impossible for him to come. So you understand if your feelings are returned or not.”  She reached out her hand and pressed Katsura’s. “But, of course, I am just your lame older sister that can’t talk to the guy that is her boyfriend.” Katsura laughed.

“Do you really think he might return these feelings?” Katsura pressed Aori’s hand now too.

“No choice but to ask him.

-

“Shino”, Katsura yelled after him, hands pressed into her burning sides. 

The man exchanged a look with his father and mother and then stopped while his parents walked on. It was heavily snowing now, Katsura could barely see him through the thick flakes.

“Did you run here?” He seemed worried.

She forced herself to look up: “It was no big deal.” Shino only raised his eyebrows at that, especially since she still couldn’t catch her breath.

The ice stung in her lungs. “I think I lost my -” she touched her throat and yes, her scarf was gone, but then she shook herself, “- Doesn’t matter, I have more important things to ask about.”

As she stood to regain her breath and her conviction she noticed that Shino had taken a step towards her so that he towered over her. Suddenly she felt something warm on her neck and when she looked up she realised that Shino had tied the ends of his own scarf around her back.

“You should keep warm otherwise you might get sick and miss your flight,” he said kindly.

Katsura felt her heart clench again and shuddered a little. “Th-Thanks.”

She straightened her back out, which didn’t help in any way because she was still much smaller than Shino was. He was so close to her now that she could feel his breathing on her face and it made her so uneasy that she felt like running away from him. But no, she reminded herself, Aori had told her this was all normal.

“Uh- Shino,” Katsura began trying to find the right words to say, “I wanted to ask you something.”

Shino smiled: “Go ahead.”

It wasn’t easy putting into words what she was feeling. To say “I have a crush on you” right now, especially after just having seen him for a few days, seemed so stupid and childish, even if it was true. She couldn’t be sure that he felt similar and that would just break her heart. She thought again how much easier her life had been when romantic feelings were just something that other people engaged in.

“Do- do you…” she stammered. “Do you maybe - uh -” His scarf next to her nose smelled like him and for a moment Katsura got sidetracked from the scent. Then she shook her head to ground herself back in reality: “If you would like to come with me to - to Australia, I would not m-mind working with you.”

That was by far the most diplomatic way she could have asked that without giving away too much of her feelings.

He seemed a little surprised, his mouth opening slightly and then closing just to open to a smile again. “That's a little spontaneous.”

“Yes, I know, I know. I wanted to ask you - before, but I c-couldn’t.” She looked at her feet again. “And last time you said it was impossible for you, so I didn’t want to be a bother…”

When she looked up she saw snow all over his hair, colouring the dark brown with white points like little bugs swarming around his head. He was also looking at her, as far as she could tell from where his shades were aimed at. Her fingers felt cold in the air but also sweaty with nerves. Nothing, he said nothing, as if he was trying to consider as carefully as he could.

But then he lifted his head to push snowflakes out of her hair. The intimate touch made her feel dizzy. “I have always wanted to leave this place,” he said without looking at her. “I always wanted to travel and see the world and research, but - more than that, I’ve for a long time wanted to travel with you.”

“W- -me?!” She wasn’t sure she had heard him right.

Shino chuckled again. That low rumble in his voice that she had heard at night in her dreams. He didn’t repeat what he said, instead he zipped down his coat and then drew Katsura in, pressing her against his own beating heart and wrapping her up in his arms.  

“That is why I at first said it would be impossible for me to go with you,” he explained. “Not when you don’t feel the way I do.”

That was when she realised that no, these feeling weren’t one sided at all

-

The snow had let up outside, but the world was still coated in white. “Here you go,” Shino said and handed Katsura a cup of coffee that she eagerly took into her hands. The airport was heated of course, but just watching the cold world outside made her feel cold too.

He settled in next to her and put his feet up over his on board luggage in front of him, his nose once again deeply in a magazine about newly published academy papers. KAtsura had teased him about it earlier in the day, that he was like a professor and Shino had only shrugged his shoulders and said that he was considering becoming a teacher, yes.

“I can’t believe you actually convinced your family to let you go”; Katsura said, for what felt like the 50th time today. It was true, she could hardly believe it.

Shino hummed. He seemed too tired now to repeat the line he had said all day when she had brought it up. “I’m an adult, they can’t stop me.”

Instead he reached out his hand to Katsura and found hers to wrap his fingers around. Her heart skipped a beat for a second, not yet used to this being a normal occurrence. Dating someone brought many new experiences.

“I’m glad it all worked out though,” he said finally, with his usual quiet smile. “I’m glad I get to go with you.”

Katsura leaned over, against his shoulder: “I’m happy you get to go with me.”

NEW BEGINNINGS - CHAPTER 1

So... As I said in a previous post, I am working on a re-do of Reina's backstory. However, in teh process and thanks to a friend (@yamanaka-shin you keep putting ideas in my head D: ) an idea pop up, MutaxReina. I have not been able to change it and it hunts me...and it has turn into a very interesting AU and version of Reina that I want to investigate and check more. There is also someone else's OC is involve @kankuroplease ' s Katsura. I have talked so Katsura would be mentioned at some point....here you can see a little glimpse. But.... Welll.... REINA x MUTA is a reality !! BEWARE: That this is going to be hurtful. It is going to be a lot of angst, but it feels like healing too.

WARMINGS: Self-harm mentions (Not descriptions just innuendo)

WORDS: 1370

“Until this day… I wonder why I thought that they would come, why my head, my heart hoped that once I was out of there, I would see their smiling faces. I will finally feel what a mother’s hug feels like, what a father’s kind words are and how a brother’s shoulder feels like. I still wonder, what part of me led me to think that. I wonder what made me think that I had a choice. I kept safe the letter that informed all of us that Root was disbanded of their usage. It is something silly and stupid to keep. A letter that confirms that I was no longer part of Root, still…I don’t know why I hold onto it so much. Anyway, I kept it. I remember that I have pictured that moment plenty of times when the letter was in my hands. When I was…given… sold…I think trade feels more accurate. When they trade me for Tatsuma I… he…I’m sure that you will laugh about it but I felt happy. I thought that maybe, now that I did what I was supposed to do, maybe now…my mother would hug me. She just grabbed him like it looked so good. She was crying, she buried her face in his shoulder, and dad was smiling. It was the first time that I ever saw him smiling so much. I made them happy. I made them like that I…” She could not hold her tears any longer, a small whimper and a cry. The doctor gave her some tissues.

“It was me who they should be hugging…I make it possible for them to be together. It was I” She kept weeping. Ashamed buried her face in her hands, letting her mane flow wild “I did it, I was good. I did everything…I…” The doctor stopped writing for a second and touched her shoulder “You need to let things go now Reina. You are the one that needs to hug that child, not them, they never deserved you '' Gen had been of great help for her recovery. He was the doctor of the centre, well one of them. A Yamanaka as a therapist always sounds good. He was the best at his job, it took Reina some time…more than two months to start at least answering back “How are you, today?” Every other day they got that long hour of a session. Technically, if you do not undergo them, you can’t have visits coming over. However, he always asked her if she wanted a visit. She never answered back. 

“And then…” she cleansed her nose “Seeing Shino there just hugging his brother. Seeing Torune with his family and Shino with her…” She wiped out some tears “It’s just…” Gen nodded and wrote something on his notepad “trigger”. She laid down and kept hiding her face from him, she had recently started to talk that much in therapy, she even started to have some quick chats with some other interns and nurses. However, she kept that awful thing, she bit her lips and fingers, she knocked her head and sometimes hit her head with her wrist out of anger. Gen let all the things down and looked at the clock, it was time, it was over for today. “You are doing great, Reina. I thought that you will never talk ever again” Four months already locked out there. “I…I want to go out” confessed. The doctor stood up “That needs a little more time you know that” She nodded and rose leaving the room “Would you like to see someone this weekend?” she froze at the opened door. She was thinking for the first time about Gen’s proposal, her answers had always been direct and straightforward. She turned around with her ankles and look down, ashamed, scared…blushing.

“Could you ask…Aburame Muta if she wants to come?” 

“I will” 

She gave a gentle nod and disappeared. She rarely interacted with other patients; however, she did not deny the gentle nod of greeting nor answer when she was asked for something. She almost seemed like she started to trust people back. There were moments in which she could not hold it and just locked herself in her room, denied caring or even caring for herself. She stood in her bedroom now with the door closed and the window faintly open. It did not have much space, aside from the small bedroom, a tiny drawer where most of her belongings were and a small hand size mirror. The bathroom only had the WC, and you could wash your hands on top of it, the faucet was extensible, so it also served as a shower in less than 2 meters. Everything was packed uncomfortably, technically to encourage patients to socialize. It had the opposite effect on her, she was comfortable there, in a small space, not bothering anyone, not being a burden. She liked to be isolated, but lately she had found some stuff missing from outside.

The book shop, the bakery, the smell of freshly cooked cookies by Muta, the touch of the grass in her feet, the sound of street music, seeing the insects and the animals roam free in the compounds… She thought she hated everything, and now she was discovering everything that she was missing. Even clothes! She usually wore her uniform, even when she shouldn't, never allowing herself to dress up with anything that was not practical or functional. Now, she had found skirts and dresses and she was eager to try one of those on, to wear one. She wanted a summer dress, one of those that she had seen in the magazines that were in the common room. The people wearing them looked so happy, cheerful, full of life, she thought that it was something that those dresses gave to them. She knew the one that she wanted, a white one, with a small pattern of butterflies on it, a little bit above her knee maybe, and those lovely sleeves that only covered the shoulder. Maybe even some cleavage showing? Yes, maybe. She wanted one of those, and the sandals that had a little heel, they looked so fresh, so stunning. Whenever she saw someone wearing those in a magazine, they were beaming. Definitely, it was the dress that made that. 

She had started to send letters outside… to Muta. They were not that frequent, but when she found the courage to write to him, she spent hours writing and writing. She always asked if it was okay for her to write to him, and he replied that it did not matter, in fact he was glad to receive them. She also asked if it was okay to ask him to come, he always said that he would come. However, not until today, had she given him the possibility to come. She felt selfish, as if she somehow was trapping the guy, not letting him go but… Now she felt ready to know him. After all, who would have liked to be sold as a bride? Yet, she felt that it was unfair…she felt now, that it was unfair for her side to blame everything exclusively on him. Some people told her that it wasn't, some people told them that it was. He accepted the marriage proposal, as he had told her, to help her escape. He said it on the wedding night, “I don’t want anything from you but for you to be happy. Just, forget that we are married if that makes you feel good. I just wanted you out of there” But weren’t there any better options to do so? Maybe just asking her if she wanted to be married, although she already knew that she would deny it. That if his father and uncle did not accept and requested that arranged marriage, she would still be there…with her father and brother. Maybe, she thought, luckily, she felt a twist in her stomach, maybe dead too. 

She laid on the bed, her insects buzzing and dancing around her. She had stopped to do many hurtful things, her hive started to answer back. Her hive, fighting her back. Not all hope was lost within her.

Some drawigns of these two... they are nto that good but here you got some.

SPOILER: She is just unconscious, she is good.

Tobirama x oc

Pairing: Tobirama x Aori ( @kankuroplease oc)

Word count: 2036

Rated: Fluff

Summary: Tobirama makes up for forgetting their first anniversary

Side note: Katsura is one of @kankuroplease oc’s, this story was inspired by this anniversary hc

——

6am; The morning after Tobiramas and Aoris first anniversary. Tobirama sighed, sitting up and checked his surroundings as he realized that he had fallen asleep next to his girlfriend.

The events from last night replayed in his head. Very unpleasant. How could he be such an idiot and forget? Tobirama tried to come up with a way to make up for the fact that he ruined their anniversary.

Aori has put so much effort into preparing a lovely dinner date for him last night but he was way too busy with his work to even realize what special day it was. He showed up at her place eventually but it was already too late - their anniversary ended with an upset and drunk Aori crying herself to sleep in Tobiramas arms.

So here he was now, looking down at Aori, who was still sleeping, as the feeling of guilt took him over once again. He continued watching the woman next to him sleep peacefully for a few minutes. She looked beautiful, even though her eyes were slightly swollen from crying and her mascara was all over the place.

Once he came up with an idea to make this mess up to Aori, he got up and made his way to his older brothers place. As soon as he entered Hashiramas front yard, he was greeted by his brother, who was watering his plants.

"Hello there, what are you doing here this early?" Hashiramas smile was as energetic as ever and of course Tobiramas direct self cut right to the chase "I need to take two or three days off" the older Senju tilted his head, surprised at his brothers request. Tobirama was a workaholic, he never asked to take even a day off.

"Well that's pretty sudden of you" Hashirama laughed as Tobirama rolled his eyes "I know" he followed Hashirama around the front yard, waiting for a response. "I don't have all day brother, so how about an answer?" Tobirama grew impatient as Hashirama grinned at him.

"Only if you tell me why" the younger Senju clenched his jaw, swallowing his pride for the sake of his relationship as he quickly explained his problem. Hashirama genuinely felt bad for Aori and began pouting. "How could you be so inconsiderate?" He shook his head visibly upset at his brother as Tobirama threw his head back taking a deep breath.

"Can I take a few days off now or not?" He asked Hashirama again as the depressed expression on Hashiramas face turned into a warm smile. "Yes but you have to promise to make it up to poor Aori" Tobirama turned around without responding and walked out of the front yard. "PROMISE IT" Hashirama yelled after him "I will, stop being so noisy" Tobirama semi yelled back as he rushed back to Aoris place.

Just as he was about to knock on her front door, it swung open, revealing Aoris younger sister, Katsura. She almost walked into him but quickly took a step back and squinted her eyes at him as soon as she recognized Tobirama. "I know what you did yesterday"

Tobirama looked down at the furious, petite girl in front of him, with a straight face as she pointed her index finger at him. "Jerk" she whispered under her breath but Tobirama could still clearly hear her. No matter how hard he tried to, he couldn't get along with this young woman. Waving her hand to the side, Katsura signaled Tobirama to step aside, which he did as she walked off.

Entering Aoris home, he made his way to her room just to find her laying on the floor, cuddling her cat Sasa. She was staring off into space with the saddest pout on her face. Seeing his sunshine so down, because of him on top of that, really bothered Tobirama.

He leaned against the doorway and waited for her to notice him but she was too hungover and caught up in her thoughts to do so. "Good morning" Tobiramas masculine voice filled the room as Aori flinched at the sound of it.

"You can go right back where you came from" that sentence didn't sound this rude in her head but it already reached his ears so there nothing Aori could do about it. "Don't you start now" Tobirama raised his eyebrow, walking up to her and leaned down to reach her face as he grabbed it gently.

"Let's go to my place" he looked deeply into her eyes, knowing that it would soften her up as she squinted her eyes at him, just like Katsura did a few minutes earlier. "If you think you can wrap me around your finger - you can’t" Tobirama chuckled and picked her up as Sasa watched him.

"What do you want?" Aori whined, wrapping her body around his torso. Due to her hangover she was too exhausted to fight him, so instead she just made herself comfortable. "As I said, we're going to my place" Tobirama grabbed some things Aori used on a daily basis, placed them in a bag and walked out of the apartment.

"I don't even have shoes on" Aori whined again as Tobirama lifted up the bag with her stuff in it. "Everything you need is in there. You're spending a few nights with me" he planted a soft kiss on her forehead as Aori tried not to smile and buried her face in the crook of his neck.

Tobirama then quickly made his way to his house, hoping that no one important would see them like this. Not because he was embarrassed or anything but because Aori still looked a mess pretty much.

Once they were at his house, he let her go as they just stood in the hallway, looking silently at each other.

Suddenly Aori teared up and she began pouting hard. "No wait, listen Aori.. I took some days off just for you" Tobirama caressed her cheek as she shot her head up at him "you did?" Her now sparkling eyes almost popped out of her head from excitement as he nodded pulling her into a warm hug.

"You know that you're the most important woman in my life right?" He whispered to her as Aori blushed hard. She felt a wave of butterflies hit her stomach and tightly hugged back the muscular man holding onto her waist. She knew that Tobirama wasn't really a romantic guy, therefore this statement meant a lot to her.

"Come on" Tobirama grabbed her hand as he led her to his bathroom. Watching Tobirama turn on the faucet of the bathtub, she quickly realized that at least one of them was going to be half, if not completely, naked very soon. "What are you doing?" She laughed nervously as Tobirama looked back at her while checking the waters temperature. "I'm running you a bath obviously" he said blunt as ever, enjoying the sight of Aoris adorable blush.

"Do you want some painkillers for your hangover?" He then asked her as she nodded. "I'll be right back, take off your clothes in the meantime" Aoris blush deepened at his order.

"You're not slick sir"  she yelled into the hallway, slowly undressing herself. As her clothes dropped to the floor, leaving her in the set of lingerie she put on for Tobirama last night, the Senju came back into the bathroom.

It was pretty rare to see her this exposed since she didn't feel ready to go that far with him yet and the sight of her wearing lingerie stunned Tobirama completely. He couldn't help but lick his lips and not take his eyes off her body, while handing her the painkillers and cup of water  as she blushed, very aware of his gaze. "You should take this off too" Tobirama got closer to Aori, snatched the cup from her and gently pulled down her bra straps as her eyes widened.

If everything went right yesterday, this would've taken place much sooner but it didn't. "I- I can do it myself" she unconsciously bit her lip, looking up at him as Tobirama nodded, taking a step back and watched her every move. She removed her bra as it dropped to the floor, followed by her thong. Even though her eyes were glued to the floor, she could still feel Tobirama looking at all the privat places on her curvy body. She knew that there was nothing to be ashamed of, she had an amazing body and her boyfriend thought so too, but she still felt pretty embarrassed.

She looked gorgeous and at this point Tobirama internally punched himself  for missing out on all of this last night.

"Get in" his tone was demanding, nothing new to her tho. Aori climbed into the bathtub as Tobirama held onto her arm, making sure she wouldn't slip. She sunk into the warm water and relaxed smiling sweetly. The temperature was perfect and the pleasant scent of the rose petal bath oil, which Tobirama poured into the tub earlier, was comforting.

Aori found it pretty cute of him to use the bath oil, she got him a few weeks ago. She was pretty sure that it was the first time he ever used it but that didn't bother her of course. He's just not into that 'soft nonsense' as he calls anything that's related to self care.The thought of Tobirama always being so serious and stern, even in his alone time, was kind of adorable to Aori and it made her giggle lightly. "What's so funny" Tobirama tilted his head interrupting her thoughts as Aori hummed "oh nothing."

He Grabbed a small towel, dipped it into the water and began gently rubbing it over Aoris face to remove her remaining make up as she watched him, enjoying every bit of his attention. "You looked really beautiful yesterday and you do too today" Tobirama placed a kiss on her forehead once he finished cleaning up her face as Aori closed her eyes confidently. "Thank you"

Grabbing a bottle of shampoo, Tobirama squeezed some product on his hand and began spreading it on his girlfriends hair as she sat up a little.  She changed her position in the bathtub. Her back was now facing him, allowing him to properly wash her hair as Tobirama gently massaged her scalp. "How are you today?" He asked breaking the comfortable silence as Aori sighed satisfied. "Great, if we can stay like this longer"  she then felt Tobirama plant some kisses from her neck down to her shoulder as she blushed once again.

"Good" hearing his deep voice this close to her bare skin sent chills down her spine. Grabbing the shower head, Tobirama washed the shampoo off of her hair as Aori turned around to face him. She grabbed the sides of his face and smiled brightly at him.

"Join me" she suggested Pecking his lips as Tobirama took off his clothes in slow motion, or at least it felt like that to Aori, who absolutely loved it, when this man revealed his delicious body. Once he was completely undressed, he laid down behind Aori and pulled her closer to him as she giggled happily. She made herself comfortable on his chest as he rubbed his thumbs over the sides of her incredibly soft body.

They silently stayed like this for a few minutes until Aori turned around and straddled him. "I love you so much" she hugged him tightly as Tobirama tried to stay calm considering how she was positioned on him now. "I love you too but don't start something you can't finish" he warned her, squeezing her thighs as Aori gasped, immediately understanding what he meant. "Sorry" she blushed, quickly turning back around as Tobirama chuckled resting his head on her shoulder.

Drowning in a mixture of the sweet scent of hers and the rose petal oil, Tobirama almost felt like he was in heaven. Aori too felt like she was dreaming; laying in a bathtub, with her first love holding onto her tightly was too great. She smiled tilting her head back and placed her hands on top of his as they both enjoyed each other's presence as long as they could.

[lemony-snickers]

I love that you included kpps oc in your story 🤍 would you ever write something for or with yuuta x Hanabi

hey there anon. while i would write literally anything for kpz, i think you’re looking for either @wind-becomes-lightning who has incorporated aori into her au or perhaps @depressedhatakekakashi who recently wrote some founders au stuff with katsura.

hope you find who you’re looking for! <3

[wind-becomes-lightning]

Katsura x Shino | "it reminded me of you. but then, sometimes i think everything reminds me of you."

finishing up the last request from like.. 3 weeks ago :D Oops. anyway || Konohamaru x OC / Shino x OC / All Might x OC / Kakashi x OC / Kakashi x OC reloaded

"it reminded me of you. but then, sometimes i think everything reminds me of you."

@kankuroplease's katsura, baby.

-

The cloth has a deep blue colour with little yellow flowers stitched in and it feels incredibly soft when Katsura lets it flow through her fingers. It’s very light, like any little gush of wind could just carry it away if she isn’t careful enough.  “You bought this for me?” she asks, moving her head into her neck so she can look up into Shino’s face.

“I went past the market,” he replies in his soft, dark voice and offers her a smile. “I saw it on display and bought it because it reminded me of you.” He hesitates for a moment before he continues: “But then- sometimes I think everything reminds me of you.”

The sudden affectionate compliment takes Katsura completely by surprise. They might have been going out for a few months or so, but his declarations of love for her with small and big gestures still make her nervous. It sometimes feels like it is all a big dream and Aori is ready by the second to come and wake her up from it.

Her face is red before she can stop it and though he is wearing his signature sunglasses she can tell by his smile that he has a satisfied look on his face. He probably wanted exactly that reaction out of her by buying her this gift.

“T-thank you”, she stutters a little. “I will cherish this very much.” She takes the cloth and wraps it around her throat. It is not quite autumn yet so it would be too warm to wear right now, but she does not care at this moment. She holds the fabric between her fingers, moving it smoothly back and forth, before she looks up at her boyfriend again.

“What would you like?”

Shino raises his eyebrows in confusion at the question. “Like what?”

“As a thank you”, Katsura moves the fabric between her fingers again. Her mind is already going into overdrive. Ordinary cookies or a small cake wouldn’t be enough to say thank you for something that is so very sweet. She bakes Shino little sweets all the time. This time it needed to be something bigger, something that could repay this little kindness he has shown her.

He laughs a little: “You don’t have to give me anything for this. It is a gift.”

“And now I have to gift you in return.” She grinds her teeth together. She realises that it makes it sound like Shino bought her the cloth out of a sense of obligation and not kindness, she quickly adds on: “I know that I don’t have to, but I really want to.”

To underline her point, she takes one of his hands and presses it, hoping that this helps bring it across better. Taking her by surprise again, Shino leads her hand to his mouth and breathes a light kiss onto her knuckles. “I know there is no way to convince you once you put something into your head,” he smiles, “even If I honestly don’t need anything in return...”

She blushes and wants to protest as he continues: “But since you are insisting and I could never say no to you, why don’t you make me some bug cookies.”

“But I always do that”, she protests immediately.

He breathes another kiss to her hand: “And I always love it.”

[depressedhatakekakashi]

I love that you included kkps oc in your recent story 💕 would you ever write something with yuuta x hanabi

I might try it one day. I had a bit kore confidence with this one because i have actually written Katsura once before so i had a better idea of her personality

But @kankuroplease has so many beautiful Oc’s to play with. I just don’t know if I would do them justice. Espeshally since i don’t have an Oc that i could really have around Yuuta and Hanabi to ease my way into understanding them. All my Oc’s are older than Kakashi or younger than Hannabi so it makes it a little awkward

I got lucky with Katsura because someone started pairing her with Madara, and I always had Hotaru as Madara’s friend

Psst

Psst

It was in the middle of the night when she heard the quiet noise. Golden coloured eyes opened to look for the source of the noise only to meet maroon colored eyes staring at her. The boy whos maroon eyes belonged to was laying at the next futon over side called out to her in hushed whisperes.

"Kaede. You awake?"

She nodded. Blinking a few times to look at him better. The silver haired boy grinned mischievously and immediately stood. Looking up at him, Kaede whispered, "What are you doing?"

"It's cold. I hate being cold." The silver-head boy dragged his futon over to hers before jumping in and snuggling closer on her left side.

"You're going to get in trouble Gintoki. Boys aren't supposed to be near the girls at night."

Gintoki huffed, "It's cold and I don't care."

"It's perverted. Sensei will scold you."

"I'm not perverted!"

"Shhhh!"

Gintoki's cheeks flushed pink but he still did not move. They both faced each other as they stared at each other's eyes. Bright honey-gold meeting lazy maroon-red. His silver wavy hair was noticeably sticking out everywhere while her straight brown hair fanned around her on their respective futons.

"Kaede..." Gintoki mumbled her name. She looked at him questioningly, but soon enough she felt someone else on her right side.

"Oi. Shut up perm-head. I'm trying to sleep."

Another boy with dark black-purple hair was snuggled up next to her futon. Almost into her own territory. Gintoki immediately leaned up and looked over,

"Oi sissy boy! Get away from her you lecherous short edgelord."

Kaede sweat dropped and whispered, "Hey, uhm, Shinsuke, Gi-"

"I'm not a sissy boy!" The three of them looked down to their feet to see another boy with long black hair and brown colored eyes looking up to them from his position near Kaede's feet. He was snuggled quite comfortably and immediately pretended to going back to sleep.

"Damn you Zura!" Gintoki loudly whispered, and both him and Shinsuke started to kick the boy by her legs. Kaede immediately grabbed their hands to stop them as she whispered, "We're going to get in trouble because of you three! Just shut up and go to sleep!"

The three of them clamped up immediately and looked around. A few of the other kids rustling before settling down again. The three of them settled down onto their futon and snuggled closer to her, almost sharing her space. Kaede smiled contentedly and kept a hold of both Gintoki's and Shinsuke's respective hands. Katsura seeing that he was the only one left out, mumbled, "I want to hold Kaede-kun's hand too."

"...You can hold my foot."

Grabbing hold of her foot, finally all four of them fell asleep in a snuggled ball as winter ravished the outside of their home with falling snow.

Nobody liked the cold, but on that particular time, winter became their favorite season.

"Do you remember that winter night with Kaede? The one when we all slept together." Katsura asked casually after he sipped some of the green tea he was served a while ago. Gintoki lazily looked over at him, and took a swing of warm sake as he looked on towards the falling snow, comfy under the heavy blanket of the kotatsu in the private room.

"That sentence alone is misleading Zura. We were to young for such straneous activities Zura. Stop saying weird sh*t Zura."

"It's not Zura, it's Katsura. Get it right. And stop twisting my words!"

"Tch fine... How could I forget?" Gintoki spoke before he poured himself more sake, "We were hanged upside down by sensei the very next morning-"

"-And she was made to clean the hallways and engawa of the residence and dojo after a few of the kids complained." They both smiled at the memory for different reasons, a comfortable silence passing between them. Katsura sipped his tea again and reminisced for a bit before speaking up, "She almost beat us up afterwards too. Talking about overkill."

Gintoki nodded and smiled wistfully before drinking his sake. He looked down on his empty cup, a silence passing over them again before Katsura spoke up in a quite voice,

"We led her to her death..." The cup in his hand almost cracked with how hard Gintoki held it. That sentence alone pierced through him and brought up the guilty feelings he had been desperately trying to bury for the past few years. His chest and heart clenched at the sudden memory he desperately was storing away from his conscious along with every emotion he held for her or of the topic of her.

Gintoki looked over at Katsura to snap at him but he was met with a mirror image of his own guilty feelings. Guilt was written on Zura's (Not Zura it's katsura) face, and his lips thinned as he looked on towards the falling snow.

"Well... This taste like shit now. Wanna go to a dive bar somewhere and grab stronger drinks?" Gintoki said as set down the cracked cup and stood. Katsura bristled and almost yelled out, "It's unbefitting for a samurai to be in such aweful places. And I don't drink beer. Only green tea."

Gintoki waved him off and said as he passed him, "But I do. You don't want me to get lost somewhere do you?"

"Tch, you can die for all I care." Katsura mumbled as he drank the last of his tea. Gintoki gave him a sidelong view before retorting, "Huh, and you call yourself my friend."

"I'm a terrorist remember?? I can't be out in the open like I used to... And that was a low blow."

"I don't care sissy boy." They stood side by side before leaving the private room. As they walked out the establishment Gintoki mumbled, "I fucking hate the cold and this stupid season and it's holidays."

Katsura smiled sadly and answered back so quietly that Gintoki almost didn't hear him, "No you don't... It was her favorite season."

"... No, I dont..." Gintoki mumbled and continued on, but Katsura didn't hear him on the last part. His whisper being carried away by the cold frosted wind.

"But she was supposed to spend spring forever... With me...”
