Pink petals fell gracefully onto green grass. Two men were situated on a soft blanket under the tree, quiet conversation and occasional touches here and there. Both of them wore beautiful, ornate kimono, one of them having picked them out and the other obliging with a willing smile. The wind of late spring hit every so often, prompting them to move closer to each other and brush arms, only for the shyer of the two to turn a shade similar to the flowers and scoot away. His companion didn't mind; in fact, he found it too cute.

They drank tea and ate cake while watching nature peacefully dance around them, her sounds and colors enchanting their ears and eyes. Suddenly, a petal landed on top of the shy one's head, sticking to his fringe, and, chuckling, the other picked it off and let it float away, a twinkle in his golden eyes. Blushing again, his partner moved to turn not only his head, but entire body, only to be stopped by a pair of slender hand peeking out from large sleeves. Their eyes met, locked, stayed unmoving for a time.

"Sakura trees are lovely, but you are far lovelier."

As they simultaneously leaned forward and let their lips touch, bodies meld together, hands reach out for something to hold, to cherish... nature continued to dance.


Hi! I left the note at the end of this since that up there is so short, I felt it better to get right to it. I received a prompt from Akasora-senpai that said:

"APH, ChuNi, kimono, slow and passionate kiss in the full-bloom sakura garden."

Sorry it's so short and vague (as in I never mention Yao and Kiku by name, I really hope you can decipher who's who, haha), but I do hope you like it! I'm adding it to Peonies and Chrysanthemums because, well, it fits the criteria of the series and I desperately needed to update.

Leave a review, and if you've got a prompt, feel free to send it to me! :3
