Theme #5: Flowers in his hair

Setting: AU


Though yet another stem poked through strands of dark hair, Uchiha Itachi ignored it, the action barely disturbing him whilst he waded through a particularly thick leather-bound book. Such was his daily reading.

A giggle could be heard as a stem was pushed between his hairtie and locks, the forget-me-not settling prettily against raven strands.

He must have looked quite a sight with flowers in his hair.

Hn. Well, at least Ino seemed to be enjoying herself, as per usual.

The gentle rustle of a turn of a page.

Such was a typical scene between himself and Yamanaka Ino, one that normally occurred while he was reading. And one that would have continued peacefully if not for the guffaw that came from the corner of the room.

"Man," Deidara laughed. "You look like an idi— HEY!"

The satisfactory sound of cushion making impact. Letting out a sigh, Itachi returned to the printed text he'd been reading, all the while ignoring the plethora of curse words that came from Deidara. Today, flowers; tomorrow, ribbons; and the next day…

The things he did for his girlfriend.
