chapter 10: la chasse aux papillons
title: la chasse aux papillons
word count: 265
disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
note: Short chap. This was originally going to be a flashback scene for chapter 9 (back to black), but I felt that it worked quite well being a stand-alone as well. La Chasse aux Papillons is by L'Artisan Parfumeur - it's a great Spring/Summer season scent! It roughly translates to 'chasing butterflies' (how pretty is that?).
'Am I allowed to braid it?' Holding a piece of his now grown raven locks in her hand, Sakura attempted to separate it into three strands before he shrugged her off his shoulder.
'No, Sakura.'
'Thread feathers and ribbons through it?'
'No.' He growled. Sakura was being annoying again. Doing that smile of hers when she wanted something.
'Flowers then! The white will stand out so well against your hair. You'll look so pretty!' Gesturing at the orange blossoms she had spotted dangling down a branch. Sasuke scoffed, 'pretty' she said.
'Pretty… Suits you better.'
'You need to stop doing this!'
Sakura hits him on his synthetic arm, admiring her handiwork as she does so - it sure took a blow well.
'Do what?'
'Throw compliments at me to catch me off guard to escape from the subject!' She remarks, playfully crossing her arms across her chest and turning her back towards him. 'Flowers threaded in your hair it is then.'
'Or maybe I can just have your fingers threaded through.' He whispers. Letting his head rest on her shoulder; the strands of his messy black hair tumbling down her shoulder, brushing against her chest. 'You're a flower.'
Sakura felt a blush rise from her chest and heard her partner snigger and pull her closer.
'You really can't keep doing it! I mean it.'
Sasuke guided her hands up towards his scalp; her back still against him as his mouth began leaving butterfly kisses along the nape of her neck, working circles along her back with his fingers.
'But you'll do it anyway.'
'Yeah. Yeah… Whatever.'
Hey everyone, I feel really bad that I have to fish for reviews, but the last one I had was in 2012 and I would really appreciate it if at least one person could tell me how 'parfum' is going, and what I should improve on/what you guys would like to see more of. I need some directions guys!
I'm not sure if I should continue and focus on 'parfum' or if should start writing a multi-chap fic.
