Current chapter order: High Flying, That Day, Mr. Brightside, A Hairy Situation , Even Death Can Have an OTP, I Just Want to Dye.
I've been craving some Kid/Sakura lately, but I've think I've exhausted all of my resources. This is something to tide you guys (and me) over until I get some inspiration for Ikebukuro Nights.
Standard disclaimers apply.
"Your ponytail is leaning three centimeters to the left."
"It's fine."
"No it is certainly most not fine! I can't allow you to go outside with your hair looking like that."
Sakura gritted her teeth.
"It's fine."
"Just let me fix it for you, the lack of symmetry is going to drive me insane if I don't do something about it." Death the Kid held out his hand and looked at Sakura expectantly. "Give me your hair tie."
"You do realize that I'm heading to the training grounds right?" Sakura stood impassively in front of him, hands resting on her hips. "I really don't see the point in making my hair look perfect if it's just going to get all sweaty and messed up from me kicking some ass."
Kid frowned at that last statement. "Yes I know, but the least you could do is show up looking a bit more dignified with your hair in proper order."
"Hey! I look perfectly dignified for a spar!" At this point in the conversation, Sakura's earlier somewhat calm composure started to slip. She glanced at the kitchen clock behind the disapproving Shinigami's head. 'Damn 7:05. I was supposed to meet Naruto, Soul-san and Maka-chan at 7:00…' She hated being late.
Crossing her arms over her neon green sports bra, Sakura let out an irritated huff. "Look Kid, it's too early for arguing. Can you just forget about this one, little thing? I'm running a bit behind this morning and I just want to get out of here and break something." "Besides," she mumbled hotly to herself "I don't know how you can tell me that I'm not symmetrical. I'm not the one with stupid white stripes on one side of my head."
"You're right!" Kid cried out, falling dramatically to his hands and knees. "I'm just a pile of asymmetrical trash! You must be ashamed to be seen with someone like me."
"Oh great, he wasn't supposed to hear that…" Sakura watched with exasperation clearly visible in her green eyes as the (mostly) black haired Shinigami continued to wallow in despair on the ground. He was also giving her a nice view of his ass, but she'd think about that at a later time. 'He's really laying it on thick this time.' She thought to herself when she heard a particularly creative comment from Kid about 'tainting her balanced glow with his unworthy presence'.
Looking ruefully at the clock one last time, Sakura removed the red rubber band from hair with an exasperated sigh. The pink tresses tickled her shoulder blades now that they were free from their elastic confines. "Here," the red loop laid in her palms as a peace offering in front of Kid's face. "Since I'm already late, I guess it wouldn't hurt if you wanted to make me look a little more presentable." She said with a small smile.
Kid's lips turned upwards as he stood and brushed the dust from his clothes. He gently took the hair tie from her before taking her hands in his. "Thank you," he told her softly and then kissed both of her cheeks. "But you're already gorgeous." Kid looked at Sakura fondly, admiring the evenly spread pink blush that made it's way across her face. "I just love seeing you perfect."
Sakura turned her heated face away from the Shinigami and made her way to the dining room table. "Yeah, well…just don't take too long OK?" A playful grin danced on her face when she felt Kid running his fingers through her hair. "I want to make it to training grounds before the sun starts to set."
"I'll try." Kid chuckled while pulling out a roll of measuring tape. "If you want, I can pluck your eyebrows while I'm here."
"No."
This is my first time writing romance, what do you guys think?
Drabbbles will most likely be out of chronological order and I'm thinking about making another drabble/oneshot series for other parings too. This one is strictly for Kid/Sakura, but if I do start writing more, I'll get to the other pairings that I'm literarily starved of.
And in case some of you are want to know why Sakura and Naruto are in the Soul Eater world, I'm hoping to explain that in later chapters!
