another installment! I didn't really like this one because the prompt was difficult for me, but I hope you all enjoy!
Theme~ #10: Secret Missions
Your smile is what colors my sunrise in inky iris and pale pink.
Sentimental, generic statement. Check.
Every time you leave, you take a bit more of my heart with you.
Clichéd, without real substance. Check.
Tonight, I ask you to unfurl your white petals, and let me singe them red with passion.
Obi frowned, rereading the note. "Disgusting," he intoned, before stuffing it unceremoniously into an envelope.
Raunchy, yet poetic. Check.
He glanced at the next item on his list: a couplet praising wits. Obi sighed. As macho as the palace guards pretended to be, they were nothing more than hormonal, illiterate boys. Taunting them, however, seemed to yield secret missions of the utmost embarrassment. Grinning, Obi lifted his pen.
As much as I wish for you to stay,
You'd be a lot smarter if you ran away.
A loud banging at the door made him start suddenly. "Who is it?" he called warily.
Mitsuhide peeked inside, eyeing the heap of love notes. "Hey. How's it going?"
"Horribly," Obi grimaced. "How many left?"
Mitsuhide smirked unsympathetically. "Something like fifty. That's what you get for betting so much during mahjong…"
Obi waved him off impatiently. "Are you here to request one, too? For Kiki, is it? Don't tell me you want another 'raunchy, yet poetic,' or she'll cut your-"
"That's not it!" Mitsuhide insisted, flushing to the tips of his ears.
"Off with you then," Obi said dismissively. "But if you want one for Kiki later-"
"That won't be necessary!"
I'll have another one up soon! review, please!
