Prompt #11: Wind Chimes
"Love's gift cannot be given. It waits to be accepted."' – Tagore
It was a beautiful day outside - warm, temperate weather, bright blue sky, puffy, white clouds floating lazily. There was also light winds that accompanied the nice weather.
Nicole had bought herself a new set of wind chimes at a local novelty store. She loved the sweet, bell-like sounds that echoed from the wind chimes and she would take them whenever she went somewhere.
She brought the chimes home that day, she went first to her master Sasori's room. She burst through the doors while he was working on one of his many projects. Sasori growled in annoyance, "I told you to knock, Nicole."
"Sorry," Nicole chuckled as she held up the wind chimes, "but I wanted to show you these new wind chimes I bought. They make the prettiest sounds!" Shaking them slightly, the chimes rang loudly and their sound echoed through the room.
Sasori frowned. "Take that toy of yours outside. I don't want to hear it when I'm working." However, his subordinate didn't hear him and looked for the nearest window.
"Ah! Here's a good spot!" The brunette hung the wind chimes up just outside Sasori's window and smiled as the wind blew against them jeweled pieces of glass.
The chimes made light clinging noises and echoed once more. Nicole clapped her hands like a child as she relished the sounds, but her master was not too pleased. He stood up from his chair and stormed over to the window. His hand extended and he crushed his fingers against the glass.
Nicole stopped clapping as her smile turned to a look of horror. "No! Sasori-sama, don't!" But she was too late. Her precious treasure was destroyed.
He threw the useless shards of glass to the floor before her. "I told you to take that worthless piece of garbage outside. Now you face the consequences of disobeying. Go do something productive."
Her eyes filled with tears as she picked up the shards and Sasori rolled his eyes, going back to his work. Nicole rushed out as she held her face in her hands, slamming the door behind her.
Ridiculous, Sasori told himself. She always cries over the dumbest things. She needs to grow up if she expects to be useful to me.
The sound of Nicole crying came to his ears and Sasori tried his best to ignore it. It always annoyed him when she cried since he was so used to that silly, cheerful smile on her face. He grumbled under his breath as he felt his body moving on its own.
He looked down at the broken shards of the wind chimes, picking them up with ease. "I can't believe I'm going to fix this thing," he muttered under his breath.
At least it would make her stop crying.
