(waves and smiles mischievously) I told you I was going to update really soon didn't I? I got enough inspiration to do this so I thought 'why waste it'? Just let yourself go with the flow.
I hope you enjoy this as I managed to actually write fluffiness and humor in the same drabble. Quite unexpected actually since I'm not really good at humor. (I'm more versed when it comes to drama and angst for some unknown reason). Thank you all very much for your reviews...they were appreciated and they made me write more, faster!
Enjoy!
Dictionary:
Hanami - flower festival (cherry blossoms and ume blossoms are the most common of flowers)
Tokutei meishoshu - special designation sake
Sakazaki- ceremonial cups used most commonly at weddings and other special occasions
Warning: Fluffiness and cuteness if I have my way. Enough to give you cavities is my desire! OOC people!
Disblaimer: You tease! You know Saitou and Misao don't belong to me at all. I do not look like Nobuhiro Watsuki!

Misao felt her lips stretch into an amused smile and quickly took a sip of her tea in a desperate effort to hide it.
Of course the fact that her back was currently snuggled against her boyfriend's chest and that she could practically feel his growl before she heard it, didn't help at all.
He snapped the phone closed and she calmly took his sakazoko and poured some sake to soothe his nerves; her eyes crinkling up the corners and laughter shining clearly in her expressive eyes.
One beat. Two beats. Three beats.
The mobile phone rang again and Misao giggled, offering the rice wine as a peace treaty for the unfortunate person on the other line. Her giggles turned into downright laughter though when Saitou's expression turned thunderous and by the time the mobile phone was sailing over her head and into the lake, Misao was struggling to keep her hands steady.
"Sake?" Incredibly, her voice was very melodious and calm. And steady. "It'll do wonders for your nerves."
The flicker in his eyes expressed his gratefulness (although she was probably the only one to ever see it) and he took the sakazoko from her hand, carefully sipping the cold beverage and then tilting the traditional cup to drink its' contents completely.
By the way his fingers curled around her hip and stroked the flesh hidden beneath her summer yukata, Misao knew that choosing tokutei meishoshu had been the right thing to do.
While the sake seemed to have cooled down 'the Wolf's' temper -as his enemies had so lovingly nicknamed him- the amber glint in his eyes, highlighted by the warm March sun, clearly stated that whoever had dared call at such an inappropriate time was going to die a very slow and painful death.
While inspector Saitou Hajime did not, in any way, take long vacations or extra time of from work, today was the one day he had allowed himself to take a break and enjoy the Hanami festival alongside her.
And people insisted on being persistent now of all times.
He had grumbled and she had tempted him with sake, soba and chocolate - thus creating an elusive spider's web only she was privy to. He had given in and she had emerged victorious...even though Misao was positive that he would fulfill her whims either way.
Green eyes blinked when the man of her thoughts cocked his head sideways and gave her a hooded look filled with muted annoyance and resigned weariness.
Misao smiled, a smile only reserved for him, and gently pushed the stray bangs out of his face.
"My men are idiots. Complete and utter idiots and it is without a doubt in my mind that they joined the police force only to spite me."
"And the sakura blossoms are falling all around us. We're in full Hanami festival. The sky is blue, the sun is shining." Misao gave him a mischievous look. "Honestly Hajime...you do not have to state the obvious."
She was pleased to see her boyfriend's lips curl into a smirk and his golden eyes flare vividly.
No words were spoken between them as Saitou caught her chin, tenderly almost, and drew her into a soul-shaking kiss full of all the emotions he could not bring himself to tell her.
It was really gratifying to feel his petite lover melting in his arms completely and he took the occasion to plunder her mouth over and over again and trap her in the iron cage of his arms.
Good thing they had chosen a more secluded area. Saitou didn't need people ogling them or noise disrupting what was a very satisfactory day - because people really tended to stick their noses where they weren't supposed to.
One beat. A mewl coming from Misao. The heat of her small frame pressed to his.
Both froze completely when a second mobile phone rang. Quite loudly and corny for that matter.
His second mobile phone.
Misao burst into giggles, which only intensified into laughter when Saitou let out a string of very colorful, very creative curses laced with in-between growls that showed just how much of a wolf he truly was.
It was, of course, out of character as her beloved was usually so composed and cool. Cursing didn't suit him and it only served to show just how -pissed of- he truly was.
With as much composure as he had (very much considering that the phone hadn't followed his companion into the water) he snapped open the phone and his voice rumbled darkly, lowly as he spoke.
"You have five seconds to tell me how you got this number rooster head. Then I have every intention of hunting you and breaking down every bone in your body until not even the kitsune can mend you back."
End
Eagerly awaiting comments and opinions. I hope this is to your liking as there are few challenges left for 10 snuggles from now on...two more challenges and then I'll decide if I want to write more!
Review please!
