Prompt: Lick
Sakura drapes herself around Kakashi's shoulders and presses a quick kiss to the side of his head. "Hi," she says.
He pauses in his reading. "Hi," he says, then adds, "is there any reason why you smell like a candy cane?"
"It's my new perfume," she tells him. "For, you know, holidays and stuff. I wouldn't wear it all the time." Sakura leans a little more heavily on him just because she can.
He reaches out, still quicker than her after all this time, and hooks his arm around her waist and pulls her into his lap. He returns the kiss to the side of her head and takes a deep breath.
"What do you think?" she asks.
"It's very… peppermint," he allows. "And sweet."
Sakura deliberates asking him flat out if he likes it or not and then, because she's in a good mood and doesn't feel like being grumpy if he doesn't. And it isboth sweet and very peppermint. So rather than ask a dangerous question she asks one where the real answer amuses her and that she doesn't think he'll guess it.
"Guess what it's called?"
He tilts his head, like he isn't sure how much he wants to humour her, but then offers several suggestions, all of them having to do with peppermint and the holidays.
Sakura shakes her head no to each of his guesses.
"Okay," he says, his voice amused. "What is it called?"
"Lick It," she says.
"It's edible?" Now he sounds intrigued.
Sakura laughs. "No! That's just what it's called."
He considers that, she can tell from his silence. "It does sound like a pretty good suggestion though," he muses.
She raises one eyebrow. "Oh?"
"Licking you," he says. "And we can see how edible it is."
This was written totally because once upon a time I owned a perfume that smells like what Sakura is wearing and it really was called 'Lick It'.
