A.N. I wrote this story at the same time and day as my other Fic with the similar title. I'm personally not happy with this one but whatever...I might even end up deleting it.
"I Love Your Garden"
"I love your garden…"
She had whispered her statement. The inflection of her voice keying to him that she spoke with an almost desperation.
"Oh?" came Black Zetsu's gruff reply. The tone of his voice insinuated that he did not believe her.
Her face heated up with true desperation now, "Yes, I do. It-It's so full of life and warmth. There is no death here because you care for each and every plant. I enjoy the warmth and the contrast from our normal lives…"
As she had spoken to him, she had taken to stepping forward in earnest to which he responded, to her slight shock, by stepping back.
"You say you do not enjoy bloodshed..?" White Zetsu asked softly.
She nodded.
He took a step forward and she found herself standing face to face.
His hand reached up and cupped her face in a surprisingly soft gesture. "But that is our job," his Black side commented raspily.
"Ya wanna know a secret?"
He had continued to speak in his Black persona's deep husk. She shuddered at how cold a voice could sound.
He leant toward her, their faces passing, until they were ear to ear and then he whispered in White's soft voice, "Neither do I."
When he took a step back, he held a pretty blue flower toward her. He had apparently pulled it from one of the bushes behind her.
She smiled at him, blushing softly before she accepted his flower from his garden, which she loved.
A.N. Thank you for reading. Toodles.
