Ino x Asuma was a little weird for me to write since he literally was her sensei. But hey, it could happen right?
[Ino x Asuma] – SNSD | Merry-Go-Round
Smoke lingered in the air, sunlight drawing in from the standstills of the shop. The man who had been leaning against the wall had continued puffing, his mind elsewhere. Guilt started to grip him, and he longed for such feelings to disappear forever.
"Asuma?" A sweet voice called out to him.
He gave a small smile to his companion, not wanting to worry her. As expected, the smile didn't work on her, as she frowned at his lack of reaction.
"What's wrong?" She asked again, though this time she placed her hands on his shoulders as if to reassure him.
"I'm just thinking." Asuma sighed as he grabbed tightly onto her hands instead. "What would people think? Me? Dating you?"
Ino sighed along with him. This wasn't the first time that the conversation had been brought out.
"Let them think what they want." She said firmly. "You're no longer my sensei, and I'm no longer your student. Besides, we're both old enough to know what we want."
"But-"
"Unless you think otherwise of course." Ino threw him off guard with that remark.
"Of course not!" He declined profusely, but still shook his head anyway. "But you know, it will be tough from now on."
She nuzzled her face against his chest, nodding softly at the weight of his words. It was true. They would have a difficult time from now on with gossips and whatnot.
"But we'll face it together no matter what." Ino promised him.
