Bread Rolls
The first of my drabble collection. I dunno how many of these I'll be doing, but they're definitely a good way to get the brain working. They'll all be incredibly short like this I bet.
This one is just something I put together in like... ten, fifteen minutes? I have a few other ideas in my head, but I can't really find the right words to put down into a drabble. Ho-hum. I'll figure it out eventually.
Kumo leaned against the counter, eyes up at the ceiling.
"You excited to go to college?"
She turned and looked at the seated Sora, his dark hands laced together, propped under his chin. He peered at her through the corner of his eye.
"Yeah, I guess." She plopped down on the stool next to him. It was only a few more weeks until Kumo would begin attending the university, studying to become a pediatrician. Sure, she was one step closer to becoming her dream profession, but the idea of it being so close almost frightened her.
He grabbed a bun out of the plastic bag before him and held it out to Kumo. She eagerly took it and bit into it. "You guess?"
She chewed thoughtfully, "Mmhmm… It'll be tough, but I think I can handle it." She knew she'd get over her anxiety at some point.
"I know you can. You're strong and smart."
Kumo leaned to her right, pressing her lips against Sora's cheek. She sat back and took another bite of her roll.
He turned, a blush swept over his tan cheek like a painter's brush stroke. "What was that for?"
She smiled, "Because I love my bread roll."
