On the 9th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… 9 Family Photos!

Some of these are a little shorter than others... Sorry, I got stressed by the deadline and didn't have a whole lot of inspiration.

Ryuunosuke Akutagawa

🖤‼️Port Mafia family photos? Chaos. This (probably awful) idea was proposed by none other than the head of the PM himself, Mori.

🖤‼️Challenge number one: getting Aku into festive clothing for the picture. He is ridiculously stubborn when it comes to his outfit, and no amount of pleading can get him into anything other than his black coat. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that this is not a challenge you will win.

🖤‼️Challenge number two: getting everyone in the damn picture. The poor photographer is almost in tears by the end with how uncooperative everyone is, also he can’t say anything cause this is the MAFIA and he could be murdered.

🖤‼️Challenge number three: Aku refuses to smile. You also will not win this one, he’s just gonna look like the grumpy emo teenager that every family has.

🖤‼️It's… an interesting photo. And it's definitely going up on your refrigerator!

Mikuni

💛🤠He’s definitely the one that suggested family photos. Misono fought him on it for so long before Lily convinced the angry runt it was a great idea to have Christmas pictures with all the servamps and eves.

💛🤠It's chaos. It's just a whole mess. Kruo doesn't want to be there, Licht is kicking Lawless around Mahiru is TRYING and failing to keep the peace. Mikuni himself is trying to set up the camera, which isn't going well.

💛🤠It takes like, 15 tries to finally get a decent picture because Lily keeps trying to strip for the camera.

💛🤠In hindsight, he really should have just settled for a picture with you and Jeje.

Macbeth

🤍🖤We’re gonna do this with Crime Sorciere because I sincerely doubt that Brain wanted to organize Christmas pictures for the Oracion Seis. Anyway, Jellal wanted Christmas cards to send to Fairy Tail (mostly Erza, let’s be honest). As such, he is slightly obsessive about making this Christmas pictures perfect.

🤍🖤Macbeth is sick and tired of Christmas pictures within five minutes. It’s so boring! He’s gonna fall asleep! Richard and Meredy are honestly the only ones that are ok with this. The others are sick of Jellal’s obsessiveness.

🤍🖤By the time Jellal has gotten everyone where he wants them, Macbeth has indeed fallen asleep on your shoulder. You can gently shake him awake or wait for Jellal to notice and watch the world burn (he won't notice until after the picture is taken).

🤍🖤Jellal ends up with a nice card regardless, and Macbeth gets a nap out of it so it's all good.

Freed Justine

❤️🎄Thunder Legion Christmas photos are a riot, honestly. We’re gonna say this is during Laxus’s banishment because I don’t want to include him.

❤️🎄Freed organizes the entire procedure, and Bickslow makes it his personal mission to mess it up as much as he can. You probably side with Freed on this issue because it’s Christmas and you don’t want to stress him out too much, the Christmas tree incident was already enough stress.

❤️🎄Bickslow insists that Freed wear Christmas lights and ornaments in his hair. He pesters the poor green bean until he relents. Bickslow himself rocks a full Santa costume! Ever is decked out in a fancy Christmas dress, and she probably got one for you as well!

❤️🎄The photo ends up looking great!

Touta Matsuda

🖤👮Normal family photos with him! Nothing crazy, just a nice picture of the two of you for his parents.

🖤👮He looks so adorable all dressed up in his nice suit! He says you look great, as well.

🖤👮Nothing really crazy happens, honestly. It's just a cute outing for the two of you.

🖤👮He'll probably let you wander around the mall and get some Christmas shopping done afterwards. Maybe you could also go get some dinner while you're out!

Gaara

❤️🏜️Obviously family photos with Kankuro and Temari. Standard family pictures.

❤️🏜️There's a little bit of trouble getting Gaara to smile. He did spend several years of his life with only a sour grimace on his face (which was very justified, actually).

❤️🏜️Kankuro keeps trying to get away with making funny faces. Eventually you guys just decide to take one serious picture and one silly picture.

❤️🏜️Both pictures turn out great!

Rogue Cheney

🖤🐉It's you, Rogue, and Frosch. It was probably your idea, but Rogue agreed pretty easily.

🖤🐉You have some serious trouble trying to get Frosch to look at the camera. He just keeps getting distracted!

🖤🐉Once you finally get Frosch to look at the camera, it's an adorable picture!

Alphonse Elric

💛🐱It was Winry and Al's idea to do Christmas photos. Ed was dragged along by his braid.

💛🐱Nothing too exciting happens, other than the usual Winry hitting Ed with a wrench.

💛🐱It's a super cute picture!

Mahiru Shirota

🤎🙂You two were invited to take Christmas pictures with all the other servamps and eves. Mahiru thought it was a great idea at first…

🤎🙂…Until you actually got there. It was utter chaos. Mahiru tried his best to calm things, but to no avail.

🤎🙂You both are exhausted by the time you finally get a good picture. Next year, you definitely won't try to attempt wrangling all 7 servamps and their eves into a family photo.

sorry for the ask dump but 34, 35, 41 and 7 for the writing ask game?

there's no need to be sorry! i wanted asks, so i appreciate this!

7. Any worldbuilding you’re particularly proud of?

Can I say everything? lmao

but fr i have two things i am stupid proud of: my map of wind country and the religion of Suna which is still the works though i do have some notes i can share.

the map is still in progress but here are some photos (this is the rough draft. once it's done/finalized, i'll be transferring all this to a really nice poster board, coloring, and so on):

the map consists of 9 regions with a total of 27 provinces. the way im framing the countries of the Naruto world is that when you see something like 'Fire Country' or 'Wind Country' it's really more like the equivalent of a continent. Obviously, a whole continent can be a country, so for instance in my mind Fire Country is both the continent and the country. However, Wind Country is made up of 9 regions which would be the equivalent of a country. My main goal with Wind Country is to be able to create a grounded continent with distinct cultures by region/province, where Suna is the melting pot of Wind. Suna is considered the 'Heart of Wind' and the 'birth place of the gods', and has historically been a place of commerce, culture, travel, and so on.

Wind is based on various parts of west and southeast Asia. I recently made some adjustments to the region in the south while working on Blood on the Branches, and I want to redraw the island off the coast of the south.

For the religion, I'm trying to build a polytheistic belief system. My main focus has been working on creating aspects for the deity who rules love, as I am working on the next chapter of Thirteen Strokes.

sorry about my messy handwriting, and again these are just very sloppy notes that i will eventually put into a nice notebook specifically for the religious worldbuilding I'm doing. I would also include the worldbuilding around Shikamaru's clan and the Shadow Kami in this, though I have to do a lot more work on that still.

34. What aspects of your writing are inspired by/taken from your real life?

A lot of things are pulled from my own life, such as Lee in Absolution. That's a reflection of my own experiences with the loss of a parent, though I was much younger than Lee is during the events of Absolution.

I think as a general rule, any time I write about death it's really just rooted in my own experiences with that.

Another example of stuff pulled from my personal life would be the fic 'if wanting were enough i'd take you by the hand' (major warnings: suicide attempt, suicidal ideation, mental health struggles) which was a way for me to work through some mental health things i was going through at the time of writing this.

The only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is that Stolen Glances is not entirely fictional in that when I lived in San Francisco, the first bus I took to get to my community college there was a woman who took the bus I thought was very cute and we ended up striking up a sort of friendly acquaintanceship since we saw each other all the time.

35. What aspects of your writing are completely unlike your real life?

them being ninja lmao but no in all seriousness setting aside the very obvious fantasy elements of the series, i think that while there's a lot of emotional resonance for me with my writing, i can say that the majority of what I write is nothing like my personal life. while i am very politically minded, i am not involved in politics in the way Gaara is; I am not married or even dating anyone; I don't get to travel or do much, especially these past five months with long haul covid.

i think writing is a lot of mixing real experience and fantasy (not the commercial genre, just like making shit up), and i think that while the emotional aspects to my writing are things I can relate to and have pulled from my life, a large part of what i write has nothing to do with my life.

41. Link a fic that made you think, “Wow, I want to write like that.”

ah there's a lot of fics that have done that for me, but I think just in general I'm gonna say just about anything written by @ghoste-catte is incredibly inspiring to me as a writer. their pros are utterly impeccable and i don't think i could pick just one story by them.

Gaara Relationship Headcanons

Here are some random Gaara’s relationship headcanons, enjoy! X.

You’d constantly crave for his kisses because he’s not big on physical affection, making his kisses like a rare thing. His kisses are rather quick, it would be something like a peck. He’d have his right palm cupping your jaw as he’d lean for a soft kiss.

As much as you hate to admit it, Kankuro and Temari play a huge role in your relationship. Kankuro would be the one suggesting things, followed by Temari rejecting his ideas most of the times.

“Gaara, as an expert in Understanding Woman’s Feelings™, when you two are having an argument, you should cut her off with a... tender kiss—“ , “THAT’S DEFINITELY NOT IT.”

Even though you’re together, he wouldn’t explicitly admit that you’re his S/O— instead, he’d be very subtle about it. It’s very common for him to say something like, “Well, I do know her pretty well.” or other similar things.

His favorite romantic gesture is holding your hands, and surprisingly, he’s not that shy about doing it in public. To him, holding your hands can also be a form of encouragement or reassurance.

He’s very sentimental about holding your hands, actually. It’s his way to know that you’re still there for him— that you’re still by his side. So, whenever he’s feeling happy, your hand would be the first thing he’d reach. When he’s scared, expect a tight grip.

Definitely very bad at communicating his jealousy.

Jealousy is a new thing for him and he pretty much doesn’t know what to do about it. He’s just too afraid that you’d find him weird for feeling jealous.

Don’t worry, though, it would be quite obvious. He’d look uneasy and alerted. Since he’s not a big fan of PDA, when he’s jealous, however, he’d stand awkwardly close to you to the point it would make people nearby uncomfortable.

The Kazekage has SO MUCH SPACE to stand but he’d stand really, really, really close to you.

“Gaara, what is it? Is there something you’d want to tell me?” , “No... not really.” , “Then why are you this close to me?”

But as the time goes by, you started to understand that this is an obvious sign of him being jealous.

And being a thoughtful person that you are, when he’s jealous, you’d grab his hand and brush his skin with the tip of your thumb gently. It’s now your way to tell him “I’m okay, you’re okay.” and he’d eventually breathe a sigh of relief.

Back to kisses, don’t worry, he kisses you every morning and every night— just right after he wakes up and when he’s about to sleep. It almost feels like he’s thanking the universe that you’re still the first and the last sight he’d see every day.

Morning kisses are rather lazy. It would just feel like his lips brush yours and... done. Sometimes it would just be on your forehead or cheeks, too.

But the night ones... yes.

He’s very passionate about kissing you at night. It would somehow turn very heated but man he’d get... shy.

As you were laying on your bed together he’d tuck your hair behind your ears and with your eyes closed he’d lean forward and start kissing your lips gently and when it’s getting heated he’s moving on top of you and

Let’s skip to the next morning, shall we? He’d make you breakfast.

Although... he’s not the best cook, of course.

He’d actually struggle.

Expect inedible food... there are some sands.

He’d eventually just do his part by making tea or wash the dishes. This man definitely doesn’t belong in the kitchen, I’m so sorry.

He’d love to have you close to him. So, if you’re not staying in the Sand Village, he’d expect you to come by whenever you’ve got a chance or he’d simply fly himself to wherever you’re staying. He’s clingy, you guys.

Of course he’d sleep lightly when you’re on a mission.

He’s SO, SO WORRIED.

But he’s pretty good hiding it. Or he simply has a lot of Kazekage things to do to distract him.

It’s either “doze off for hours thinking about Y/N” or “BRING ME THOSE 1000 PAPERS TO SIGN I WANT TO KEEP MYSELF BUSY”

It’s not like he doesn’t trust you and the things you’re capable to do, he just doesn’t want to lose you.

Will 100% be at the front gate to welcome you.

Or it’s just his flying eye.

His true self is acting cool at his own office.

Come on, the Kazekage doesn’t want to look like he has a favorite.

“Oh, you’ve arrived? When? Why didn’t I notice that...” and other lies.

If you’re not from or staying in the Sand Villages, he’d simply ask about your wellbeing to the Kage... very subtly.

“With this official message, I hereby congratulate your village for another successful mission. On behalf of Sand Village, it would do us a tremendous joy if you could report back the mission— to know if there’s any casualties. Best regards.” or something like that, honestly.

WOULD SPOIL YOU!

Would most likely take you to his garden.

He’s very thoughtful about it, too. He’d learn facts about flower and tell you about it and of course he’d pick a flower that suits you best.

It would be: your favorite flower, his favorite flower, a flower with a sweet meaning for you, and a flower that describes you best.

Any of those flowers would be your nickname.

Would keep your photo in his dashboard. It wouldn’t be framed on his office desk but it would be the first thing he’d see when he opens his dashboard.

The framed one would be on his nightstand.

He would actually own some... they’re his personal favorites.

The first one would be a picture of yourself, smiling brightly on his garden— with a flower being tucked behind your ear.

The second one would have a little story behind it: it’s a little shaky photo of the both of you. You were trying to get a picture together but no one was around to take the picture. So you offered him to do it yourself but you were struggling to get into the frame, and you tiptoed. But you lost your balance in the middle of photo-taking and the picture came out blurry. Gaara thought your expression in the picture was cute and he decided to keep it.

His role as the Kazekage, unfortunately, would mainly be the cause of your relationship problems.

Him being too caught up with his job... what’s new.

And this is where the Sand Siblings help!

You’d let Kankuro know about your problems. He’d try to talk to Gaara about the matters. Meanwhile Temari would give you emotional support— being there to listen to your vents and all.

Naruto would sometimes help

But the two of you don’t usually have an argument because he’s just simply not with it.

The concept of ‘anger’ itself highly reminds him of his past-self, which he desperately tries to bury. So, to have a fight with you definitely would be some kind of a torture for him.

“Let’s talk about this when our heads have cooled down.”

WOULD NEVER RAISE HIS VOICE! Never.

He’s honestly too sweet.

Arguing, or solving problems with him would involve a lot of sighs every minutes because he’d try his best to calm himself down.

It would always end well. You two have a soft spot for each other.

He’d grab your hands and kiss your knuckles.

He’d look into your eyes fondly, admiring the way your eyes glistened. He’d use his sands to pull your hands and he’d hold your hands, kissing your knuckles. He’d bring himself closer to you, pulling your waist into his embrace— letting your head to rest on his broad shoulder, “I love you, always.”

Sasuke is the other Dad for Boruto.

I recently re-watched Boruto - Naruto The Movie to enjoy some SNS fight. But I’ve noticed some little things which felt immensely gratifying to see. And I’ve never seen anyone discussing about these things so far. Or I might have missed them.

First of all, the movie opened with an interesting silhouette.

Younger version of Sasuke and Naruto (when they were 18) & Little Boruto. It looks somehow cute with Sasuke’s coat flailing in the background. But why is Sasuke is drawn very taller? I wonder. Somehow, it gives a family photo vibes.

Then during Momoshiki fight,

I found one Gem of a Scene which made me cackle a lot. However the scene goes like this,

After Naruto and Sasuke fought Momoshiki, they got pretty exhausted, especially Sasuke.

Gaara (in his mind) : Damn!!!! I must kill Sasuke to take that place.

Meanwhile Momoshiki got powered up again, thanks to that Scientific Ninja Tools developing guy. Momoshiki started to attack everyone again and then this happens.

Despite being exhausted, Sasuke’s body moved on its own to catch Boruto in a very similar fashion he lifted Naruto when they were 12 in Land of the Waves.

And you may wonder what Naruto was doing? Geezz!!!! LOLLLLLL

It was so funny when I saw this because Naruto never thinks about himself, and he always puts his life on the line for others. Here, he looks like he was saving his own ass. But that’s not the truth, because he must have known Sasuke would go for Boruto because Momoshiki’s target was Naruto and Boruto should be kept out of the front lines. It’s just that it looked like he was saving himself initially and I find it funny.

The Gif version of that scene.

Even in the recent Boruto episode, Sasuke showed his Dad instinct just for a moment.

Jigen : I have no interest in you at all. But your Son on the other hand, is a different story.

Naruto : What?

Sasuke : ***Shocking look intensifies***

Well, first of all, In the Manga, Sasuke will not be in this scene. He left using his Transportation Jutsu before this conversation happens. The Anime team made Sasuke to be in this scene and listen to Jigen’s intention. And Jigen was clearly pointing Naruto’s (Your Son) Son and Sasuke also looks at him as if he was talking about his own Son, LoL.

Heartwarming to see such scenes!!!

And, that’s why I feel Sasuke is the other Dad for Boruto.

hiii! could you possibly write some hcs for adopting a child? i don’t really care for which characters bc i love them all tbh but my favorites are kakashi, tsunade, and naruto himself! i see a lot of pregnancy type hcs and as much as i love a good breeding kink pregnancy is not for me. obviously it’s up to you if you’re comfortable writing this though!

Omg, this is so sweet? I’ll gladly write these, especially because I personally don’t want children, and I also love a good breeding kink, so I totally get where you’re coming from there. Adoption is something that I wish Naruto would explore more because I think there’s so much potential there. I know, I personally headcanon that the only reason Iruka didn’t adopt Naruto was because he asked Hiruzen, and Hiruzen forbid him from adopting Nart. Also, half of the village is orphans, so wtf is up with that? And like everyone just ignores them? Like… how do you just do that? Anyway, let’s get into this.

Kakashi

Kakashi is terrified of having kids.

I’m sorry, but you don’t go what he goes through without developing a fear that you’re gonna pass all that shit down if you happen to have a baby.

He also believes he’d be a completely incompetent dad who his kid would resent.

He also doesn’t want his kid to go through what he went through when he lost his dad.

Not to mention, he never knew how to be a kid, so he knows he’d never be able to relate to children.

Tbh, he’s really just a mess, and he doesn’t want that to have any negative impact on any child ever, so he distances himself from them.

Why else do you think he makes kids do the bell test?

They’ve got like… a 0.01% chance of passing.

And the only reason he ended up with Squad 7 was because Hiruzen basically volunteered him to be their leader without asking him.

*John Mulaney voice* “This might as well happen”

Anyway, when you bring up kids, the man astral projects the fuck out of there.

Like, sure, a roll in the hay where he talks dirty about getting you pregnant is one thing, but you’ve talked about that, and you both know that him actually getting you pregnant is out of the question for both of you.

Even when you bring up adoption, he’s just dissociating.

Until you suggest an older kid.

And he snaps back, thinking to himself “Oh… that doesn’t sound so bad…”

He’s had a bit of a trial run with Team 7, and he’s aware of the mistakes he’s made.

He knows what he’d do with his own kid, and the concept of his own kid sounds nice to him.

He wouldn’t only have to be the disciplinarian. He wouldn’t have to worry about bringing the kid on missions. He could just… be a dad who could chill with his kid and play with the dogs while you lounge under a tree…

And suddenly, the idea of kids doesn’t scare him anymore. It almost makes him excited?

So, he asks if you can talk about it more for the next few years.

And you just smile and nod.

Tsunade

You bring it up after Kakashi replaces her as Hokage.

You guys have been through so much, and you both kind of just want a break from the action, passing the torch to the next generation.

And you’ve both been thinking about adoption separately, especially Tsunade after growing so close to Naruto.

You’re talking one day about how you want your new quiet life to be, and you’re talking about kids.

“I know we’ve never discussed the details of us having children… but what about adoption?”

“You were thinking about it too?”

You two just smile at each other for a bit before Tsunade hugs you tight, and you just cling to her, peppering kisses along the side of her face.

You guys decide to adopt a youngin because you’re mostly retired, so you have all the time in the world to give to a small child with more needs.

Lil baby Senju is literally your life now.

You’re the “LET ME SHOW YOU 5,000 PHOTOS OF MY KID THAT I KEEP IN MY WALLET! I HAVE MORE IN THE CAR HOLD ON!” couple.

Tsunade came from a big family, and she’s secretly always wanted a family, but it never seemed to be in the cards for her, and it always left her feeling empty.

So, when she’s got you and baby Senju, she’s on cloud 9.

And after you start falling into routine, she’s the one to suggest “Let’s have another.”

You guys adopt another youngin because, again, you’ve got the time whereas some people don’t.

There’s at least one girl. I just feel like she wants to raise a strong little girl to help make positive change in the world.

And when you come home one night to find the three of them asleep on the couch with a book on Tsunade’s lap, your heart just… bursts with happiness. Like, this is your life? How lucky are you?

You guys are just a cute and sweet little family.

Naruto

The fact that he doesn’t adopt in Boruto is bullshit tbh.

Sorry.

He literally went through so much as a child because he was an orphan, and having Iruka in his life changed him so much.

He wants to be someone’s Iruka-sensei.

He also doesn’t want any child to experience the pain he went through, and after knowing Gaara, he doesn’t want any kid to feel like him either.

I like to think Naruto really stepped up care for orphans when he became Hokage.

He established nice orphanages, and always stopped by to see the kids with you.

And there’s this one kid who’s just as hyperactive and goofy as he was at that age.

And he and Naruto just click.

One day, you and he are walking home, and you notice how Naruto’s demeanor gets more glum the farther away from the orphanage they get.

“Naruto…” He looks at you, your words breaking him from his trance. “I know we’ve talked about kids before… and you seem so happy whenever we go visit the children… I know you have a special bond with (*insert kid’s name here*)… and I was just thinking… maybe it’s time to add on to our little fam–”

Naruto’s already picking you up and spinning you around.

“Yes! Yes! Yes, Y/N! Thank you! That sounds perfect! We’ve gotta go tell Iruka-sensei! Come on!”

He immediately drags you towards Iruka’s apartment.

And Iruka’s so happy and proud.

He’ll cry when Naruto tells him “I want to be someone’s Iruka-sensei and give them a family, lik you gave me.”

And you adopt the kid, and you bring your kid back to the orphanage all the time to play with his friends, and you all have family dinners together and you’re all basically a little family who stay connected even after the children get adopted and new kids come into the family.

It’s just a really lovely little family with him and you and all your unofficially adopted children and your one officially adopted kid.

And, he’s not a deadbeat dad like in Boruto because HOW the fuck is that NOT completely ooc of Naruto? Just… HOW?!?!

It’s Kankuro’s birthday today, so I was wondering if you had any hc’s for an enby puppet boy on his birthday?!

P.S. I absolutely adore your blog, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

I don’t know how well I can do headcanons for Kankuro, but I will try XD (Also AWWWW thank you <3 )

Contrary to popular belief, Kankuro is a morning person. Morning is the quietest time to work on his puppets. No one will bother him until at least nine am when he usually has to go guard Gaara, so he can just focus on his puppets. He tried to work at night, but people love to bug him at night for some reason unless he’s asleep so he decided to go to bed earlier.

Kankuro is still extremely close with his old Sensei. Not just seeing him in Kazekage meetings, but going out for tea with him and sometimes even still training with him. Baki never took on the role of a father figure, but he was like a big brother to Kankuro and helped Kankuro learn a lot about how to mend his bond with Gaara and how to be a big brother (though of course, Kankuro is a bit goofier than Baki)

When Kankuro finds out from his big sister that Sai has a puppeteer on his genin team, he is begging Gaara to take a trip to Konoha to meet her. He must see the cute new puppet master of the future, and he is gushing over her bunny puppet. ( I know it’s not a puppet in the same sense as Kankuro but he’s still going to love her)

Kankuro is the worst kind of flirt. Not in the way that he’s just accidentally rude or bad at it, just that his pick-up lines are embarrassingly bad and people can’t help but laugh at him over them XD. But he’s really sweet and he’s trying dang it.

Absolutely has a huge photo book full of pictures of Shinki and Shikadai. He is the proudest uncle alive and he’s going to make sure to keep as many memories of them as possible.

Day Off

Hatake Kakashi/Baki

2481 Words

For: @temarihime

AU: Suna Kakashi Au

A day off. Those were surprisingly rare for Kakashi, especially when he knew that Rasa still had at least five more missions that he wanted him to complete. If it wasn’t for Temari’s insistence that he get the day off to hang out with her after her morning training, he was certain he would have been shipped off to complete another mission last night.

This morning, if Rasa was feeling nice enough to let him get some sleep.

But here he was with a whole day off, and a morning to waste away waiting for his little sister to be done with her training. Part of him wondered if she would convince Kankuro and Gaara to join them, or if she would take the chance to just have some time alone with him. Sometimes she could get a little...possessive, when it came to free time with her big brother.

Either way he couldn’t hang around the Kazekage’s mansion all morning to wait for her. He had the urge to go out and explore Sunagakure. the home he so rarely saw these days. Baki and Temari had told him all about the new shops that had opened in the last few months. Places he hadn’t had a chance to visit yet that they both spoke so highly of.

Though, exploring his home wasn’t so easy these days. Ever since Rasa had given him the hound mask it had become his identity. Something he always had to wear whenever he left the residence to go on a mission, or even to explore Suna. Rasa didn’t want anyone to see his face, claiming that it would upset the villagers and even some of the shinobi who may see him.

He never explained why anyone would be upset if they saw his face. He simply said they would be and ended the discussion. Leaving the residence without his mask over his face wasn’t allowed, which was fine when he was younger. When ‘Suna’s Hound’ wasn’t a thing.

Now though, it wasn’t that easy.

Anyone who saw the mask would turn tail a run. No one wanted to be seen around that Hound Shinobi, fearing that their lives might be the next one he take’s if they so much as breathe the wrong way or insult Rasa in his presence.

It was the price he paid for being Rasa’s personal Shinobi. The one who had killed not just the enemy shinobi, but Suna Shinobi as well if the job called for it.

And today it was the reason he was putting aside his hound mask and dressing himself up in a much more relaxed disguise. One that would allow him to flow through the crowded streets of Suna without raising suspicion or causing panic among the citizens.

At least he hoped so. That was the whole goal of his disguise after all, and he’d be a poor Shinobi if he was caught by anyone. Certainly not deserving of the title of the Kazekage’s personal Shinobi.

Putting on the last touch of make-up, he looked into the mirror and smiled when he saw a brunette with soft grey eyes and a pleasant smile staring back at him. It was perfect for a day out. No one would suspect such a friendly face to belong to Kakashi.

He’d be able to find Temari and Baki without any incidents looking like this.

A feeling of excitement buzzed deep in his chest when he thought about seeing Baki again. It had been weeks since he had been able to find a day off with the other man. Something he was sure Rasa was doing on purpose since he had never really liked the relationship building between Kakashi and Baki over the years.

Today though, he’d get to spend time with his little sister and his boyfriend. He’d make sure of it. In fact he had no doubts that part of Temari’s plans for getting him the day off was to get him some time with Baki. She always talked about how sad her Sensei looked when he hadn’t seen him for a few days.

He’d have to repay her for her help, and that definitely included making her a warm bowl of homemade vegetable soup when they got back to the residence.

Taking one last look in the mirror, he smiled at the old familiar face he had created years ago and headed for the window. It would do him no good to be caught leaving his room looking like this.

Then everyone would know who their new visitor really was.

Suna was a lot more lively than Kakashi remembered it. With streets full of villagers making their way through the village, chatting amongst each other as they searched out particular shops or wandered aimlessly with their friends by their side.

It was sort of nice. Years ago when he was a child Kakashi had never seen the villagers so relaxed. Perhaps it had something to do with the war going on back then. A war that hadn’t plagued them for years, though it wasn’t as if the village was completely safe.

Everyone knew about the danger that Gaara presented with Shukaku sealed within him. One bad day and the kid could level the entire village without a thought. Seeing the villagers with such carefree attitudes when there was an ever present danger within the walls of Suna was sort of concerning in a way.

Of course, as he thought that he noticed a sudden shift in the villagers attitudes. The shuffle of people frantically moving to the sides of the street, soft whispers being spoken among each other, and the way that everyone turned their attention to a small group of people making their way up the street towards him.

A group of people that he would recognize anywhere.

“You’re not going to kill Kankuro,” Temari’s voice carried through the street, a mixture of boredom and sternness in her voice. “He was just making a joke, Gaara. Let it go.”

Ahhh, just like at home. Apparently those three never changed.

“It was his decision to test me,” Gaara snarled, his eyes inspecting the area ahead of him and landing on the lone figure still standing in the middle of the street. “Fine, if i can’t kill Kankuro can i kill him?”

Well, that was a terrible way to start his day off.

“How about we avoid murder while we’re in the village,” Baki suggested.“Our job is to protect the people of our village, not murder them.”

As he spoke to his students, Baki zeroed in on the person Gaara was referring to, examining him as he continued to stand in their way. Kakashi could only imagine what was going through his mind at the moment. After all, only an idiot would keep standing in Gaara’s way.

Thinking through his options, Kakashi lifted the camera hanging around his neck and started to toy with the buttons. So far he had only gotten a few pictures of some beautiful Suna landscape and a statue at the entrance to the marketplace that he had never seen before. Nothing too exciting that he would be willing to put into a photo album, but beautiful nonetheless.

Perhaps this was his opportunity to get a picture of his favorite people. He would just have to hope that Baki didn’t try to slaughter him at the suggestion.

Seeing the small group getting closer to him, Kakashi put on his best smile and lifted up his camera. “I suppose you wouldn’t be up for a photo?” He said softly, chucking when he saw Gaara glaring at him “think of it as an apology for wanting to kill me?”

“Gutsy,” He could hear Kankuro snickering behind his hand. A reaction that had probably led him to the original situation of Gaara wanting to murder him. “I suppose you don’t know who you’re talking to.”

“Three brats and a cute Sensei stuck with them,” Temari’s eyes went wide, and he could see Kankuro side eyeing Gaara with fear in his eyes. “Though, I guess the only real brat here is you, since you’re the one causing all the troubles.”

It was Temari’s turn to laugh, her eyes lighting up when Kankuro gave her a betrayed look. “What? He’s right. You’re the one bugging Gaara. You should know better by now.”

“How about we all calm down,” Baki’s eyes hadn’t left him the entire time, still trying to size him up and get a better understanding of what he was dealing with. “I don’t think the Kazekage would be happy having a stranger taking pictures of his children.”

“Then how about just the cute Sensei?” Sukea offered a compromise. “Or are you camera shy?”

Both Kankuro and Temari chuckled at that one, not even bothering to hide it when their Sensei glared back at them. “Go ahead Sensei,” Temari beamed up at him “I’m sure big brother Kakashi won’t mind if you get your picture taken by someone else.”

With a low growl in the back of his throat, Baki turned his eyes back towards the man standing in front of him and huffed. “You can take my picture, on one condition.”

Putting on his best smile, Sukea tilted his head. “Let me guess, you want a picture for this boyfriend of yours?” He chuckled. Baki was always trying to act so cold and distant, but he was such a big softy deep down inside. It was adorable. “I’m sure i can manage that. Though it might take me awhile to get you a nice print.”

How long depended on how many missions Rasa decided to send him on after his day off. Hopefully Baki wasn’t going to be upset if it took a few weeks.

“I was thinking of a date,” Sukea’s eyes widened. That was a brave thing to say right after Temari’s comment about her big brother. “Preferably without the goofy photographer get up.”

Oh.

“Oh!” Well, that was certainly unexpected. “H-How’d you know?”

“The mole,” He glared over at Temari. Had both of them really figured him out that easily. “It’s why Kankuro and Gaara didn’t recognize you. You always have that stupid mask over half your face when you’re around them.”

That was actually fair, he was willing to give it to Temari. Whenever he saw Kankuro or Gaara he was outside of his room so either he was wearing his cloth mask over the lower part of his face, or his Anbu mask. Regardless, Kankuro and Gaara had never actually seen his face.

“What are you talking about, Temari?” Kankuro stepped forward and examined the photographer. “He just looks like any other dork in Suna.”

Closing his eyes, Kakashi took a deep breath and bit back the urge to electrocute Kankuro. He already had Gaara threatening him with murder almost every day, he didn’t need Kakashi to do the same thing.

“For ‘any other Suna dork’ he sure is lethal,” Baki responded to his students jab with a bored tone. “Though when he’s not trying to look like Suna’s local fashion disaster, most people tend to call him ‘The hound’”

Fashion disaster?

Kakashi threw a hand over his chest and gave Baki a wounded look.

“Is that what you really think of me?” He jutted his bottom lip out and gave Baki the best puppy dog eyes that he could muster.

“In this outfit? Absolutely,” Crossing his arms over his chest, Baki huffed “Two out of ten, would not bed.”

Temari and Kankuro both gasped, looking up at their Sensei with amazement and fear. Gaara was the only one who didn’t react, though that was perfectly normal for him. He probably wished he wasn’t here to listen to any of what was going on around him right now.

“Well, at least now i know you have some standards,’ Sukea commented, taking a step into Baki’s space. “I’d say the same for myself, but i am dating you.”

Before Baki could think up a comeback, Sukea leaned in and pressed a kiss to his cheek, ignoring Temari and Kankuro as they stood behind their Sensei snickering.

Pulling back slowly, Sukea couldn’t help but smile when he saw the pink lipstick stain he had left behind on Baki’s cheek. On him the colour made his lips look a little fuller and provided some much needed colour to a face that rarely ever saw any sun, but on Baki it stood out like a sunflower in the desert.

“How about I take your picture later,” he offered, “in a more private setting.”

For the first time since he had walked up to Sukea with his students, Baki smiled. “That sounds like a good plan,” his hand came up to settle against Sukea’s cheek as he spoke. “Until then, I believe you promised my student some time with her big brother.”

Somehow he wasn’t surprised that Temari had mentioned her plans to hang out with him today. How else would she make sure her Sensei knew that he had to wait his turn to see her big brother on his day off?

“I best hang out with her then,” Sukea smiled, turning his attention over to Temari “Is it just going to be us two unleashed upon Suna today? Or do you want the boys to come along?”

“They can join next time,” Temari sprinted forward and linked her arm with Sukea’s “Today, it’s just me and you. If you can handle that.”

“I think i’ll manage, somehow.” Sukea chuckled.

“Try not to cause too much Havok, will you,” Baki interjected, smirking when Sukea glanced back over at him. “I wouldn’t want to have to explain to Rasa-sama how a photographer got his precious princess into trouble.”

“Like you’d even bother to lie to him that much,” Sukea huffed “you’d tell him right off the bat it was his favorite Anbu operative and he’d send me on an endless string of missions for three months as punishment.”

Running his thumb over Sukea’s cheek, Baki leaned in and pressed a quick kiss against his lips. A small taste of what he would get later when they were back at the Kazekage’s residence and he had washed away all of the makeup and tossed the wig and clothes off to the side.

“Just remember,” Baki whispered against his lips. “If you end up getting into trouble and get punished with back to back missions, it means no cuddles.”

Baki always knew how to make him behave himself, even when he could see the mischievous glint in Temari’s eyes that told him he would be spending the next three hours trying to stop her from causing havoc.

No amount of enjoyment at the cost of other people’s sanity was worth missing out on months worth of cuddles. It simply was not a price that he was willing to pay.

#Hatake Kakashi #Baki #Temari #Gaara #Kankuro #Sukea #Hatake Kakashi/Baki #KakaBaki #A bit long #but i think it's cute lol #25 days of kisses

Please Have Snow and Mistletoe- Chapter 2

My deers!! How are you my loves? Thank you for letting me share this story with you. I mentioned in a comment that I’m not a huge fan of cheesy Christmas movies but I love reading them lol and apparently writing them haha. So for this chapter, we have more snowy fluff and some InoShikaCho interactions. Hope you all like it! If you haven’t read the previous chapter I have them linked below :D

Summary: Memories are made while the snowflakes fall.

Chapter 2: A Scene from a Snowglobe

Temari’s eyes took in the pristine glittering white snow from outside their window. She’d woken up that morning wrapped around Shikamaru and despite her embarrassment, she continued to cling to him. He was just so warm and she was committed to her role as the loving girlfriend. If Shikamaru minded he didn’t mention it when he woke up.

Even though she knew that she was awake, being there felt like a Winter dream.

Last night had introduced her to all the key players. Today would be the real test of whether they could pull off being a happy couple. At breakfast, Yoshino wrapped her in tight as though she was thankful that he hadn’t disappeared in the snow. The Nara matriarch could be demanding and Shikamaru complained that she was a nag but Temari admired her. She loved her family and would do anything for them. Shikaku was more laid back, calm, and collected. But he was strong and wise. The Naras remained powerful and successful because of his leadership. Shikamaru was made up of the best part of his parents.

The day would be a whirlwind of events and activities but she looked forward to what the day would bring.

“I’m sorry I didn’t think ahead. We’ll have some things shipped tonight for you.” The clothes that she’d brought along weren’t quite suited for snowy weather. She had a pair of long pants and a sweater to wear for the day.

Shikamaru placed an old snow jacket over her shoulders. The coat had completely swallowed her up but she looked adorable drowning in the fabric.

“It’s okay Shikamaru, I think that this should suffice. So what are we doing today?”

He grinned adjusting the hood over her head. “You’ll see.”

—

Temari panted hiding behind a tree. They took this snowball fight far more seriously than she could have imagined. And she absolutely loved it. Everyone in this family was far too competitive and she fit right in.

There were only a few minutes left and she’d managed to get everyone with a snowball except one.

“I hear you.” Temari turned and both she and Shikamaru had a snowball poised and ready to be thrown. She lowered her hand before she felt the snowball hit her arm.

“I can’t believe you threw that at me!” He just laughed at the incredulous look on her face.

“Loosen up my dear girlfriend.” Surprising him she lunged forward and tackled him into the snow. He just laughed, grabbing at the snow below them and raining it over her. Temari laughed breathlessly as they wrestled in the powder of white. She fought valiantly until he got the upper hand and was straddling her waist. Holding his weight above her, her back pressed into the snow.

“I think that I won.” He teased her with a handsome grin. His hands held her wrists above her head.

“Is that right?” She breathed looking up at him. She noticed a strange shift in his eyes as he began to lean forward. Her eyes fell close before she felt her hands suddenly become free.

“Shikaku! They were having a moment.” Yoshino scolded her husband who had just thrown a snowball at their sons back

“He should know better! No time for flirting!” Temari laughed seeing Shikamaru chase after his father

“Let’s go Temari. Shikaku will be annoyed if Inoichi wins.” Yoshino offered her hand to help her up.

By the end, there was no clear winner. Apparently, there never was. Their parents would just argue about which family won while they warmed up in the Yamanaka home.

Before ducking inside they built snowmen and made misshapen snow angels. Sledding and more snowballs, all the fun you could possibly have in the snow.

Her fingers were frozen and her cheeks and nose had turned red but Temari refused to go inside too quickly. Everyone else had gone in but Shikamaru remained there with her to help finish building their snowman.

“Oh no, he looks terrible.” She pouted taking in the pile of snow that could hardly be considered a snowman.

“It was much more difficult than movies make it seem.” The “snowman” was an abomination in comparison to the one that Sai and Ino had made. She couldn’t compete with Ino’s sheer determination and Sai’s artistic abilities.

“It’s okay Tem, let me make a few adjustments.” Shikamaru took off his scarf to wrap around its neck. Added more snow and adjusted his arms and eyes

“There, now he’s perfect because we made it together.” She smiled at how easily he indulged her, letting her experience all of this as much or as little as she wanted.

She pushed aside the memory of their interlude during the snowball fight. He wasn’t trying to kiss her. That wasn’t what that was. Maybe they both were just caught up in the moment.

They took pictures out there in the crystalline white, their snowman between them. It was practically imperfect in every way and yet it was just right for them.

“Look how cute you are.”

Temari grinned seeing a photo of a young Shikamaru, Ino, and Chouji playing out in the snow. She took an offered cup of steaming hot chocolate from Shikamaru.

“You’re lucky that you have all this Shikamaru.”

“I agree. I don’t have siblings so I’m thankful that I have the two of them at least.” Seeing those snapshots was just a reminder of the memories he was no longer making. He’d become so wrapped up in his own life and career.

“What was it like growing up with your brothers.”

“They’re the best, as annoying and obnoxious as little brothers could be but I love them. I always had a partner in crime. Being away from them this year has been tough so I’m thankful that I’ll be seeing them soon. Christmases together were always the best. Loud, chaotic but we were together so it was peaceful in a weird way. I think they would love all the things your family does together.”

She knew that it was a foolish statement. Their agreement would be over in a few days. It was silly to imagine integrating her family and traditions with the Naras.

He remained silent, unsure of how to respond. There was a part of Shikamaru that wanted to assure her that they could be part of it next year. That his mother would be delighted to have even more people around, especially if it was her family.

That wasn’t what their arrangement entailed though.

Instead, he took her hand in his. “Come on, movie time.”

They settled into the plush chairs in the Yamanaka theater room. She tried not to gawk at how ridiculously wealthy they all were.

“Here Temari, Karui, and I made the snacks for tonight.” Chouji handed her a large assortment of snacks and treats.

“Appreciate it, Chouji doesn’t share his snacks with just anyone,” Karui informed her with a grin.

“Then thank you Chouji, I’m honored.”

Before the movie started Shikamaru’s arm wrapped easily around her. She automatically leaned into him a shared blanket over them. This was all to prove themselves a happy couple right?

“So you’d do this every year?”

“Yes, up until the last few years, especially when we were kids. It was more eating snacks and me sleeping than actually watching the movies but it became a tradition of ours.”

“My brothers and I would do this all the time too. If one of us were watching a movie, we would just naturally gravitate towards each other.” Them being together, it didn't matter what they were doing, it was enough.

“You’re really close to them?”

“I’d say so.”

“Think that they’d like me?”

She smiled to herself thinking about what her brothers' reaction to Shikamaru might be. “Of course my dear boyfriend. Gaara for sure, Kankuro would be an annoying prick about everything but I’m sure at some point he’d warm up to you too.”

“That actually makes me really happy to hear.” He admitted.

“Temari! Bring them next year!�� Ino interjected hearing their conversation.

“Ino!”

She ignored Shikamaru’s protest. “They’d love it. More people to torture our beloved Shikamaru.”

“Ino they have their own holiday activities.” He tried to explain without revealing why that wouldn’t be possible.

She wasn’t pleased with the response but nodded. “Okay, but we have to meet them soon okay Temari?”

She nodded with a soft smile. “Sure Ino, I think they’d be happy to meet you all.”

They all settled back down as the movie played. Temari picked at her nails anxiously. It should have been enough to just learn about his life and family. Now having hers being brought up was increasing the stakes and complexity of this situation.

But when Shikamaru placed a steady hand over hers and pulled her further into his chest the worries melted away.

Shikamaru was hers for just a few more days then they’d go off to live their separate lives. Just how it should be.

Her eyes though lingered on their intertwined hands. Praying that at the end of this her heart would come out whole.

The levity of familiar holiday classics eased any tension they felt. She was just enjoying movies and snacks with her friends and “boyfriend.” Something nice and simple.

“Lay down Tem, it’s okay,” Shikamaru told her softly. She nodded surprised that he noticed her dozing off. She rested her head on his lap. He gently ran his finger through her blonde locks as her eyes fluttered closed. He smiled remembering how happy and carefree she was playing in the snow. The image of her with apple colored cheeks and snowflake kissed hair would forever remain in his memory. If that errant snowball hadn’t hit him, would he have kissed her?

Shikamaru could feel his blonde friend's eyes boring into him. “What Ino?”

“Nothing, it’s just nice to see you all coupled up. Your mother and I almost died when you told us you were bringing home a girl. Part of me thought that she’d just be some hired actress you brought along to get us off your back. But the way that you two interact, how you look at her. This is real. Now someone else can worry about your dumbass.”

He glanced down at Temari’s peaceful form. How tightly she clung to him even while sleeping. “I guess we both just got lucky.”

“You don’t believe in luck.”

“She made me believe in it.”

His friends were stunned speechless by the simple comment.

“Whoever thought that Nara Shikamaru would be such a romantic. When you two get married your mother is going to be ridiculous.” Chouji teased him already imagining the Nara matriarch on an absolute tear.

Shikamaru’s eyes shot wide open at the statement. “Married?”

Ino laughed off his surprised look. “Of course! Then babies, the next generation of InoShikaCho!”

The other couples began to chat excitedly about the prospects of weddings and babies. The talk was to be expected now that he’d brought someone home. For generations, their families had shared weird traditions one of which was having kids all around the same ages. Part of him knew that Ino and Chouji were both waiting for him before they could start their own families.

He never thought about just how much of an impact bringing someone home would have. So many hopes were being raised and soon they’d come crashing down once he and Temari “broke up.”

Maybe after all of this, he’d eventually find someone but that person wouldn’t be Temari. And the idea felt utterly disappointing. He couldn’t imagine his family welcoming someone else so easily. He doubted that anyone would ever measure up.

So he just held onto her. That inevitable future would come but he still had her at least for right now.

That night Temari laid in bed restless and awake. She wasn’t sure what happened when she’d fallen asleep during the movie but Shikamaru seemed a little more distant when she woke.

That should have been okay. This was just a business arrangement but the cool way he regarded her for the latter part of the evening stung. His family didn’t seem to notice the change but she did. They still had two more days together and she didn’t know if she could handle him keeping her at arms distance.

Surprising her his voice range clearly in the darkness. “Come here Tem.” His strong arms drew her in and her head settled against his heart. His warm hand cradled her head as he placed a kiss against the top of her head.

“We’re okay.”

She bit back her smile of relief and nodded against his chest. His heartbeat steady and strong against her ear.

Whatever this was, however it all ended, it would be okay.

Please Have Snow and Mistletoe

Chapter 1: Flight 4XMAS

Chapter 2: A Scene from a Snowglobe

Shikamaru, lies have consequences...Does anyone else play Animal Crossing? It’s so hard to make a snowperson!!! It doesn’t snow where I live so it’s something that seems so magical and wonderful to me. Oh to play in the snow with your rich “boyfriend.” If you’ve read any of my stories before then you know that I love the giving your love interest something of yours to wear trope. Okie, the next chapter out tomorrow or today depending on your time zone. Thanks again for all your love and support. Love you my pretty deers!

SasuHina Month 2020- Day 18

Prompr 18-Movie Stars AU

Initially I wanted to do this in the same universe as the fake dating one. It’s based on pretty much the same idea I guess. I wrote this a few years ago and I wanted to use it; hope yall don’t mind. Love ~Dia

<<Their break-up was the kind of thing that filled front pages for days, it was the talk of the internet, much like their first hook-up was, much like their first meet-up was. Despite working on the same set for a few months, their schedules never matched, they never had a scene together, they were never even in the same building, yet once the movie hit the screens, the unlikely couple picked up fans and speed like a snowball rolling down a hill.

It didn’t matter to the fans that the two raven-haired young adults were never on screen at the same time, the only thing that picked their interest was one of Sasuke’s character line which mentioned something that had an indirect reference to Hinata’s character. That was all it took for the ‘SasuHina’ fan base to blow up out of proportions.

The ‘sasuhina’ tag grew bigger each day on all social media platforms, until it received the attention of a few small magazines, then bigger ones which led to several questions asked to both celebrities about the other.

On a red-carpet interview, a reporter from ‘KonohaNow!’ Asked Hinata what was her first impression when she met the Uchiha heartthrob, after a small laugh caused by the subject of the said question, Hinata stated “No, but really, I never even met Sasuke. Once the trailer launched, I noticed a few posts about me and him, but I honestly never expected it get this big. You’d be surprised how many rumors I heard about the two of us, despite us never actually being in the same room”

The said declaration set the fans on fire, making it their top priority to get the two of them to formally meet, of course in a public way. So, a few months later, both of them stood on a chair across from each other live on ‘The Akatsuki’, while Deidara couldn’t help but grin at the two. Once the show was live it was ranked as one of the most viewed talk-shows in the past years.

After Deidara finished his usual introduction, the two of them got up and officially shook hands and introduced each other. The gesture was a bit awkward which did not escape the public eye, making them come up with reasons such as they were shy to meet, or nervous. If the fandom was big before, after their ‘meet cute’ it had tripled, making both of them rise on the popularity ladder quite a bit.

Even so, the moment that it was certain that SasuHina was real, was a year after their meet, when without any promoting, a trailer for a movie was launched, with the two of them as the main characters that made a deal to help each other commit suicide. The movie was the most expected one of that year, despite no one knowing anything about it but those 50 seconds showing both of them in front of their laptops writing mails to the other. The title was vague “50 Days” and there were no promoting methods, from posters of the movie, to short interviews about it, none of those existed.

Every talk show host that asked to make an interview about the said movie was shut down, critics were confused by the secrecy, since directors tend to do as much advertising as they can, but it turned out that doing nothing, was the perfect method to make everyone talk about the movie. Once it hit the screens a few months later, the fans that expected it purely based on the actors playing were pleasantly surprised with a well written plot, and marvelous filming and editing. The ending of the movie, was one that left its mark on the YA movie industry, making everyone wish that the heroine would have found her partners in crime affection enough to make her wish to live, but sadly it didn’t. The ending broke the world’s heart, but no one seemed to mind at all, since the film featured a couple of shared intimacies between the Hyuuga girl and Uchiha boy. From kisses to, warm hugs and even the dramatic final scene, of Sasuke’s character walking away crying after Hinata’s character funeral, all the tragedy was forgiven.

After finally all the secrets of the movie being spilled, the two actors had the freedom to share everything about the making of the film, from the easiness of working together, to their fast friendship. Pictures of them together on and off set started filling the internet and newspapers for a period of time, only to die down for a couple of months.

Their radio silence was picked up as a sign of their relationship, which was in the ‘hiding’ at that moment. As crazy as it seemed at the time, the theories were proven somewhat right when a picture of them kissing was featured on the front page of a magazine, followed by a video posted on Hinata’s Instagram with her and Sasuke doing a silly dance which ended with the pair hugging and sharing a small kiss.

The fandom could not hold their excitement back, their relationship was labeled as ‘goals’ for the duration of 3 years, the length of it. But a couple of weeks after Sasuke’s 25th birthday their relations suddenly ended.

The media and fans were confused, since they never once made any statement of not getting along, their last picture together was barely a week before the break-up and they seemed content. Everyone was expecting a marriage, not a break-up!>>

It came hard for him to read about his failed love life on every magazine and news site in the world, but whenever he saw anything with her name, he couldn’t help but read, because maybe one of these writers would say something remotely close to the possibility of their break-up being fake, or them getting back together, yet none did that.

“You’re sulking again”

Gaara, his friend and bodyguard told him. The redheaded man was sitting on his sofa as well, switching between Tv channels, to anyone he would have looked like a friend only, not like the man in charge of the safety of his life. Sasuke sighed and put his pad on the coffee table.

“She’ll be back.”

The Sabaku man reassured him, he had been saying that every day since the break-up, and each day it seemed more of a lie. At the beginning he was certain Hinata would turn around and run back to his side, but as weeks passed, he was starting to doubt the possibility.

“You put too much faith in her”

The black-eyed man said while walking into the hallway leading to his bedroom, he was tired and needed sleep. His bed was the only comfort he still had. It was their bed for 3 years. The bedsheets still smelled like her even after being washed a number of times, the mattress still held her body shape.

The last phrase from the article he just read sat heavy on his brain. << Everyone was expecting a marriage, not a break-up!>> He sure had too. He had asked Hinata to marry him, and she dead-pan rejected him, not only did she say no, but she had actually got up and left him.

He knew that she must have had a good reason to leave, he just couldn’t figure out what. Before the said incident, she had been dropping hints here and there about getting married. Subtle hints from sighing happily at the end of rom-cons when the couple got married, to straight up forward questions such as whether he would be alright with a western-type wedding rather than a Japanese one.

He was so fucking certain they were on the same page. Every time she asked anything regarding marriage, he sat a little straighter since the ring sad untouched hidden in their bedroom for a little over 2 weeks, before the hints started. He just needed the time to be right, and when he thought it was; apparently, she didn’t.

He took out his phone and looked at his messages, he had plenty of those but none from Hinata. When she left, she only asked for time and space and he was hell bound to give her whatever she wanted, but the more time passed his hope of her returning with an explanation grew smaller. Being a person in the public eye, he learnt a few important lessons such as not to read the comments to Drama-articles, but he caved this time. Every comment was full of speculations or just straight-up angry for the way things ended between the two of them.

Finally, he put his phone on the nightstand and sighed. Since they started dating 3 years ago, he was so used to her being at his side almost every day. Sure, they were busy with filming their own movies or tv series, with photo shoots, interviews, talk-shows and everything else their agent scheduled. But everyone liked to take advantage of their relationship and of their common fanbase so most of the times they played in the same series, they were called for shows at the same time, there was not a day to go by when they weren’t together for at least a couple of minutes.

Sasuke moved onto her side of the bed and buried his head in her pillow. He kept wondering if she missed him as much as she did him. Her smell still filled their bathroom and there were still days when he’d wake up confused over the empty space in his bed.

He knew Hinata loved him, their love life was full, he would catch her staring at him with a smile on her face, without even realizing it they were always touching, holding hands, their shoulders pressed together, her hand on his knee, his arm around her waist, so without her there he felt somehow incomplete.

He must have fallen asleep at some point because he was jerked awake by a loud crash in the living room. He could hear Gaara talking to someone, not sure who could have caused all this chaos he got up and went to see what was happening. Getting closer to the ruffle he recognized the man talking.

“I don’t give a shit that he decided to give her space. Just because that’s what she wants doesn’t mean it’s what she needs”

His breath sped up. Neji, he was talking about Hinata. He never expected her cousin to come seek him out. The older Hyuuga saw him and started moving towards him, Gaara made a move to get in front of Sasuke before Neji could reach him.

“Out of my way Sabaku. He has to come with me”

“Do you know where she is?” Sasuke asked and he moved around Gaara.

“I do, and she really needs you right now”

That was all he had to hear. If Neji thought it was a good idea for him to go to Hinata it had to be, he would never do anything to harm his little cousin. Sasuke only nodded at his red-headed friend and they were on the move.

They took Neji’s car, the plan was to get Hinata and if all went well Neji would drive them both to their home if not…he’d still drive Sasuke. He only hoped things would turn out good.

“Do you know what happened?”

The Hyuuga clenched his hands around the wheel tighter. “I do” Sasuke opened him mouth to ask what but couldn’t get the words out before Neji talked again. “I really don’t think you should hear this from me. Granted you were supposed to be the first to find out after her but we all make mistakes, don’t be mad at her, she tried her best”

They parked the car across the street from a hotel, Sasuke followed Neji and Gaara was just a step behind him. They didn’t stop in the lobby to ask for the hotel room, Neji walked straight to the elevator and pressed the button for the 12th floor. They didn’t talk, the people that got into the elevator on the 4th floor kept staring at Sasuke but they didn’t say anything either. Finally, when they reached their destination, they marched down the corridor to room 127. The Hyuuga male sighed before softly knocking on the door.

“Hina..it’s me open up” when nothing happened he knocked again but no movements could be heard from the other side of the room. Being fed up with the wait he got his wallet out and took a key card and opened the door.

The room was dark but Sasuke recognized her scent, he noticed her clothes on the floor and finally his eyes rested on her sleeping form on the bed. He took a few steps forward and felt his mouth dry when he realized she was wearing one of his shirts and clenching another one in her hands.

He heard Neji sigh again and he whispered something to Gaara, the two made their way to the hallway but not before telling Sasuke to call for them if anything happened. He nodded without really registering what they were saying, nothing mattered but Hinata at that moment.

He walked up to the bed and sat next to her caressing her check and then her hair, she stirred in her sleep but didn’t wake up. The need to touch her was immense, it physically hurt him not to bend down and kiss every inch of her skin.

He didn’t stop caressing her face and hair for another 30 minutes until finally her eyes opened, she looked up at him and her smile was so wide he felt his heart bust. She was still sleepy and he wasn’t sure if she thought he was real or just a dream but when she sat up and hugged him, he didn’t stop her, nor did he stop her when she started kissing him or when she sat herself in his lap.

He knew they should talk but he missed her so fucking much his brain wasn’t working right. He forgot just how perfect she fit in his arms.

She was the one who stopped the kiss, her breath was shallow, and her eyes were dazed with lust. That look alone would have been enough to make him hard, but her weight on him and the feel of soft curves in his hands only made his pants feel even tighter.

Hinata looked at him for a moment before kissing her way from his jaw down his neck. Her hands wondered all over his chest and back, she started rocking her hips and he couldn’t help the deep throaty groan that escaped his lips. She seemed pleased with the effect she had over him and only started moving faster.

“Hinata…o fuck”

Hearing his voice everything in her stiffened. She stopped moving, stopped kissing and looked up at him like a deer caught in head lights. She was about to get up and flee but Sasuke reached back for her and pulled her into his lap and held her close.

“Y-you’re real” her voice was only a whisper. He wanted to kick himself for allowing things to go that far when she obviously thought she was dreaming. Her shoulders stared shaking and soft sobs filled the room.

“Shh, it’s okay. Everything’s going to be fine”

After a few minutes she stopped crying and moved her head to look up at him. “Why are you here?”

He only smiled at her and kissed her tears away. She didn’t push him away which was a good thing. “I asked for time, for space…” her voice was soft.

“I know, I’m sorry I thought I could give it to you, but…”

After looking at him once again she rested her head on his chest and finally returned his hug, her hands fisted the back of his shirt and her legs wrapped around his middle it felt like she was trying to bring herself closer to him, as close as it was physically possible.

“I’m sorry”

“It’s fine love” He said into her hair. He didn’t know why she apologized, but he didn’t care at that moment, all it mattered was that she was in his arms now. Her soft sobs broke his hear and he couldn’t help tightening his grip, bringing her as close as possible.

It took her a couple minutes to calm down, her face was on the crook of his neck, his hands buried into her hair, they were both breathing in the other, almost like their need of the other was what fueled their lives and the past weeks they’ve been working on empty tanks.

Hinata was the first to push away and look up at him, her hands were trembling as she reached out for his face. She cupped his cheeks and ran her thumbs under his eyes taking in the bags, Hinata leaned towards him and kissed his lips softly, just a few pecks nothing more.

“I’m so sorry baby” Her voice broke and he wished he knew what was wrong, so he could fix it.

“What’s wrong Hina? You have to tell me so I know how to fix it.”

Her eyes filled with tears and she kissed him once more “What if you can’t fix it? If we can’t fix it?” her voice was barely above a whisper.

She bit her lip and got off of him and walked to the far end of the room. Pacing back and forth, she did it a couple of times before suddenly stopping. “A few weeks ago, I thought I was pregnant”

Sasuke was stunned, her being pregnant never crossed his mind, but it would have been the best news ever, but the past tense filled him with anxiety.

“I didn’t want to tell you until I was certain. So, I took a few pregnancy tests 2 of them came off negative but one was positive so I was confused. I scheduled an appointment to check. I-I never had issues with my cycle or infections so I didn’t visit my gynecology doctor quite as often as it is recommended” She stopped pacing in front of him and took his hands into hers. “I told her I wanted a pregnancy test and when that came out negative, she suggested we do a few more tests and I said sure…” She was crying again. Sasuke freed his hands from hers and instead placed them on her waist and pulled her next to him. The silence overtook the room.

“I’m infertile” she finally confessed “the chances of me getting pregnant are very slow, I can’t give you the family you deserve. How could I do that to you? The day you asked me to marry you was the day I just got the results back” Sasuke silently cursed himself for not noticing the fact that she was upset, he had planned it and was so nervous about it, he did not pay attention to her.

“Hinata, it’s fine, everything is ok” He whispered against her hair and placed kissed on her temple. Of course, he wanted to have kids with her, and he would later mourn the loss of that idea but only after he was certain that she would be in his arms. “We’re already a family Hianta. we could also always adopt later on, but all I want now is you.”

Her eyes were watery and red, her expression was so broken. “You don’t hate me? You don’t think I’m broken?”

“I love you, you know that, there’s nothing that could change that, plus you’re not broken love. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you” Sasuke assured her. He couldn’t imagine how Hinata felt. “Let’s go home ok?” He asked to which Hinata only nodded. He picked her up and walked to the door, opened it and looked at Gaara and Neji who were on the hall away from the door; probably to give them privacy. Neji looked relieved to see them together while Gaara’s eyes fell to Hinata and his composure changed from his normal expressionless to sadness. Gaara walked in front of him and Neji was behind him. The walk from the lobby to the car was done in a rush just in case there were paparazzi around.

Neji started driving. “I’ll come back and pack all her things tomorrow” Sasuke nodded. They were together, that’s what mattered. Everything else would fall in place later.

Modern Day Romance

Chapter 5

The date continues! Thinking about doing a small time jump to get their relationship moving! Let me know what you think! Don’t own Naruto

Ch 1 / Ch 2 / Ch 3 / Ch 4 /

The botanical garden was more magical than Sakura could have ever imagined. Flowers bloomed all over and so many scents mixed in the space, it was a bit overpowering, but they got used to it as they moved through. Everything was sculpted into different abstract shapes. Sakura had never seen so many flowers at once. They walked around in silence for a bit getting lost in observing the flowers.

Soon they found a different type of arrangement of cacti off to the side. Gaara seemed to have noticed them and headed right over to them but still made sure that Sakura was with him. His eyes scanned all the different potted plants in front of them, there actually was excitement in his eyes. Sakura thought he looked like a kid in a candy shop. She remembered that Gaara had some cacti in one of his pictures on the dating app.

“You really like them right?” Sakura finally asked. Gaara slowly turned his eyes towards her and she smiled gently. He started to blush a bit and Sakura found that so cute.

“Sorry, yeah, I guess you could say I’m obsessed with them. I got into gardening and desert plants when I was in school,” Gaara said as he put his hands in his pockets, “It was part of my rehabilitation while I was in high school.”

He turned back towards the plants, but Sakura knew he was waiting to see her reaction. She could ask a million questions but decided against it. It would be so rude of Sakura to question his past when this was the first day, and she felt that she would come off as judgemental towards him and that’s the last thing she felt. But she risked asking one question.

“Are you healthy now since then?” she asked while turning to look at the plants like Gaara. He took a few minutes to answer.

“I had a messed up past, but with the help of that school and my siblings, I can say that I am not the same person I was back then and have no desire to be how I was. So yes, for years I’ve been healthy and now I help people who were like me,” Gaara said with clear pride in his voice. Sakura slid closer to him so that their arms were touching.

“You being healthy is all that matters,” she said looking up into his eyes, “So mister cactus expert, tell me about that one.” Sakura pointed at a small potted cactus that had a small orange flower on top of it, but the flower hadn’t bloomed yet. Gaara followed her finger to see which cactus she wanted to know about. He chuckled when he looked at it.

“That’s a cactus and that’s its stomata. It doesn’t bloom during the day to conserve water. Normally plants open their flowers during the day for the process of photosynthesis, but they open during the night to conserve water.”

“Oh, well that’s less exciting than I thought,” Sakura half grumbled to herself, “Tell me more!”

Gaara seemed taken aback by her general interest in the plants around them. The rest of the time Gaara led them around and talked about all the pants that he knew. He was so invested in what he was talking about that he didn’t notice when Sakura slipped her arm through his and they walked around the rest of the gardens just like that. Sakura was very much enjoying hearing Gaara talk about what he was clearly passionate about. For thinking they would be awkward the majority of the date, all their stress melted off of them.

Gaara was in the middle of discussing a particularly rare desert flower to Sakura when his phone started ringing. Sighing Gaara went to pull his cellphone out. Sakura wanting to give him some privacy, she slipped out his arm, but before she could get too far he reached out his hand to take hers to keep her close. He had turned away to answer the call, but Sakura could see that the back of his neck was bright pink. She laughed to herself about this but turned in the opposite direction to give him a little bit of privacy. He finally hung up the phone and gave a light squeeze to her hand to tell her that he was done.

“I guess we lost track of time,” he said and showed Sakura the time of 5:15 pm on his phone. They had been walking and talking for about three hours and it felt like nothing to either of them.

“This may seem weird and feel free to say no, but my sister is a designer and has a fashion show tonight, and she just called to remind me. Would you be interested to go? I’m not sure if you’re busy or not-” but Sakura stopped him by squeezing his hand and laughed when she noticed that he was rubbing the back of his head similarly as how she did herself when she was embarrassed.

“Gaara I’d love to go with you. I don’t want this date to end yet.” The look of relief in his eyes was so visible. It was nice to see how Sakura wasn’t the only one who was enjoying her time and that he was clearly into her too.

Gaara had failed to mention exactly who his sister was. When he offered to drive them so Sakura could drop off her car at home, he filled her in on a few more facts about his older siblings and what they do for a living. Temari being the center of attention tonight it did not take her long to figure out that the brand that his sister designed for is Tee. An extremely high-end fashion line that was the closest thing to couture that was available to the common people. Ino and Sakura had always admired Tee’s designs and wished they had a reason to wear these beautiful clothes.

“You know I’m freaking out on the inside right?”

“I think you’ll be fine.”

Now that Ino had moved away to the city she had every reason to wear these clothes. Sakura always browsed online and had the fashion magazine Shukaku sent to her home, she loved these clothes so much. (Gaara made no comment that this particular magazine was almost run by him.)

Gaara pulled his sleek black car (a company car) up to the valet of the abandoned building. He explained that Temari got a kick of making the other couture designers squirm and picked the creepiest places to showcase a new line of clothes. Gaara nodded to the valet who seemed to recognize him as they made their way inside. He reassured Sakura that they were perfectly dressed in their casual clothes, “No one is going to be looking at us anyway.”

The inside of the building was completely redone in order to house this fashion show. It looked exactly as Sakura had seen on TV; a long white catwalk that went into the audience, large black curtains on the sides to hide the upcoming models. On each curtain were large TV’s showing Temari’s previous works. These were photos from different photo-shoots that Sakura could remember seeing online and in her fashion magazines. As Gaara lead her to their seats on the side, a familiar face popped up on the screen.

There Gaara was twenty feet up in the air posing in Temari’s clothes. It was a fitted three-piece suit in a blood-red color that matched perfectly with his hair, making his teal eyes pop. Sakura’s breath caught in her throat at the sight of him. She had never seen this photo anywhere before and she would remember. The look in his eyes was mesmerizing, they were hard but drew you in any way that you couldn’t look away. Gaara finally looked up because Sakura had become so quiet.

“Oh, she didn’t! I specifically told her never to use these pictures,” Gaara grumbled mostly to himself as he pulled out of his phone, probably to tell off his sister. Sakura noticed that he was scowling and blushing at the same time.

“I didn’t know you modeled Gaara,” Sakura said as she tried to focus on a spot on the floor and not keep drooling over the screen.

“Technically I’m not, but my siblings love to drag me into their business. Temari knows she can push me around and I won’t crack like the models do when she yells at them for making her clothes look bad. And my brother hates working with the models too.”

“You’re very good at it. But I do prefer you as you are now,” Sakura said not being able to look at him. Gaara seemed to relax next to her and Sakura peeked a glance at him. There was a gentle smile on his face as he was avoiding her gaze as well. They sat there like two blushing fools as the room around them started filling up. Sakura finally relaxed enough that she got comfortable in her seat to sit closer to Gaara.

As she took in the room she failed to notice a man in his 30’s sit next to her. He was not much to look at, but his ego oozed out of him. Checking Sakura out, he was about to strike up a conversation with the young woman, but a long toned arm wrapped around her shoulders. When Sakura leaned into Gaara’s touch she did not notice the battle that was going above her head. Gaara stared daggers into the man’s eyes. The man went pale and decided to change his seat before the show started. He did not want to cross a man with eyes like that.
