SasuHina Revolution Week 2018: Words


Kintsugi

Kintsugi (金継ぎ, きんつぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as Kintsukuroi (金繕い, きんつくろい, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

A beauty that is more than skin deep - beautiful, as an outward sign of inward good, noble, honorable character.


Beauty is the worst kind of lie.

Uchiha Sasuke is no stranger to beauty.

He was born beautiful into a clan of beautiful people, and that beauty hid treachery and deceit and betrayal and hearts so twisted by revenge that they ached with pain while they bled murder.

Beauty is not to be trusted.

So, when he first sees the girl with the alabaster skin and the eyes like moonlight, he is immediately distrustful.

She is everything that is kind and graceful and lithe and winsome, and he hates her for it.

He keeps waiting for the crack in the façade – for the lie to slice through in a smile too sharp, or a touch too lingering, or a glance too shrewd.

And when it doesn't come, he hates her more.

He hates the midnight of her hair, and the gentleness in her smile. He hates the fullness of her silence, and how it never feels as empty and hollow as the words of others.

He hates the first time her hands – lovely with long-tapered fingers, and yet deadly in their own right – brush against his sleeve inconsequentially, and she leaves as if she hasn't just set his nerve endings aflame.

He hates when he finds her alone in the early morning mist, weeping when no one can hear over a grave that should not be.

Bitterly, he realizes there is even beauty in her sorrow, and he curses her ability to be both broken and kind.

He hates her so terribly it frightens him – for he is apathetic to so many things.

He tells himself it is because he hates deception and lies in all forms – and Hyūga Hinata has spun the worst lie of them all by being more beautiful than any creature has the right to be.
