Hi guys,
No, I have not forgotten about this story. There is only one chapter left for it to be complete.
And at the beginning, this was supposed to be a one-shot. I just wrote more because it was fun to write and because of your positive feedbacks and encouragements.
But instead of this, it was supposed to be a multiple chapters story inspired by the k-drama "The world of the married" where Menma would be married to an OC I made up.
It is the very first fanfiction I've thought of. It is already fully outlined and almost fully written but never been posted. It's just sitting in my documents.
It will be angsty and messy, but Naruhina is worth it! Or in THIS case, maybe Menhina.
This story with have Menma and Canon!Hinata who will have some RTN traits. She'll still be our little cinnamon bun but she'll also be a little more selfish, more confident and will be a tiny bit scheming to get what she wants.
I haven't decided if I'm going to delete this « love and desire » to replace with this new one, or just not delete and post the last chapter. In that case, I'll just post it as whole other story with a different name.
Then you guys can help me pick a title, please?
Here's the synopsis of the fic!
Akio knew there was something wrong before she was even sure.
Sometimes she could see the way his face lit up when he was reading a message on his phone, the way he was he was so eager to pick an incoming call. She noticed how his long nights became more frequent these past few months.
Going through his mail, she saw how much money he spent buying in a jewelry store a pair of earrings she's never received. She could also see the bills to flower shops buying peonies once a week.
She saw the dark strand of long hair that stuck to his shirt one night. Long and dark hair that obviously didn't belong to Akio since her own hair was light brown and reached her shoulder.
She could see the stain of a red lipstick on his collar one night after coming home when he said he was having dinner with some colleagues. Again, his bill showed that he indeed was at one of the most prestigious restaurants in Tokyo, but also showed that he paid for a dinner for two people.
Akio could sense the scent of lavender lingering on his clothes when he comes home late at night.
Aiko was thirty, she was a doctor and was making a living for herself, she's been married for seven years to Menma. The only thing missing in her life by society standard was children which she was not ready for. She was a stable and respectable woman with a fulfilled life. So why did the scent of lavender suddenly made her so anxious? Why does she eye every woman with long dark hair as if she was trying to find something?
She moved to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror looking at herself.
Could she be pretty?
Aiko thought herself to be pretty but not in a way that would turn heads. She was slightly above average if she was honest with herself. She applied makeup every day because she enjoyed feeling good about herself and because she goes to work in leggings and t-shirt because she knew she would change into her working attire anyways. On her free days, she'd rather stay in her pyjamas. She liked comfort and she was confident enough in her skin. So, her wardrobe wasn't really impressive because she valued comfort before anything.
And he used to like that about her.
Her eyes moved higher as she ran a hand through her short brown hair. She never tried to grow them long mostly because it was too much maintenance and always got in the way of her work. And she liked the way it framed her face.
Looking lower, she eyed her thin body pressing a hand over her flat stomach. She kept herself on a strict diet. Her image was one she spent years building, and she couldn't risk ruining that.
Is that woman perhaps skinnier than her? Is that it?
Did her husband suddenly start liking long hair?
Who did that lavender scent belong to?
She didn't know yet, but Aiko would look for her answers. After all, Menma was her husband and she would be damned if she let some little wench destroy her home.
A/N: Please help me find a title for this! And it is love story. A messy one but still hehehee.
The first chapter will be posted this week depending on the responses to the synopsis, along with Blue moon.
