When Uchiha Shisui had first met Moegi Hanako she had just come from T&I and was being held at the Uchiha Police Station. She was bizarre with a hot-and-cold personality (split personality, if anyone had even bothered to read her files.), though the pink-haired kunoichi remained rather silent the first three days she was confined in the jailhouse. It was on the fourth day that Shisui managed to get a decent look at the inmate.
The Uchiha prodigy had entered the building to clock in at about the same time they were taking Hanako out to be escorted back to T&I once more. In their passing Shisui gave the pastel-haired woman a glance-over just once, noting she had done the same as his dark pools briefly locked with her naturally crimson ones. It was a bit unnerving to know he was being analyzed as well, but took it strides as he gave a light nod of his head to indicate he acknowledged her.
Hanako quirked a brow, having been accustomed to harsher treatment from the staff for technically being a kunoichi from another nation. Not that hailing from the Hidden Mist was anything that she cared about- she knew for a certain fact that no one would be coming for her. It was not in the nature of Mist-Nin to go to such lengths for their shinobi; after all. It was this sole reason that Hanako refused cooperation as she forced the T&I team to run circles around her for days without extracting a single thing.
On this particular day instead of clocking in and sending Shisui out on patrol around the village- he was tasked with escorting the prisoner to her assigned destination. Uchiha Shisui, not being a man to make much fuss, accepted his role (honestly a smidge eager to sate his curiosity about the pinkette.) 'Damn, a sexy escort today! I could alm-' Hanako's alter ego (Kaana) wasted no time expressing the filth that plagued that specific niche in her warped demeanor, the dominant personality hushing the other part of her from thinking anything else too vulgar.
Hanako managed to steel herself enough for Shisui to withdraw a pair of cuffs, but the moment their flesh grazed across each other Kaana couldn't resist the response it elicited, "They're not tight enough…" Kaana practically purred as she glanced back to feel chuffed with herself with the pink flush that stained Shisui's cheeks. He was perplexed, for sure, and glancing around the room at his peers didn't seem to alleviate the situation- either.
After that morning the aloof Uchiha had come to conclude that his associates purposely kept pairing him off with Hanako, claiming that she behaved better for him than most others (which he failed to see given how brazen the woman was- about everything.) After being acquainted with the (former) hidden mist kunoichi for a decent amount of time, Shisui had also deduced that Hanako's coquettish antics were a farce and there were down periods where Hanako was more charming.
Four months had passed with Hanako Moegi's main residence being the police station. It wasn't as though they hadn't given her copious outs with T&I not outright deeming her a threat, but not exactly ready to let her free-roam either. Quite a few times the feisty woman refused assistance with no solid reasoning to back it up, and it was on the third attempt of Shisui's that Hanako decided to retract her decision to stay at Uchiha Police Quarters, "Come on, Hana, why not come stay at my place?" Uchiha Shisui persisted, "You can't possibly be comfortable, doesn't coming home after a rough day sound nice?" He coaxed. It was rather late that night with a few stragglers finishing up their reports for the day.
Whenever it was first mentioned in passing that he share his living space with the beaut, the Uchiha had been a teensy bit reluctant to open himself up to such a degree. However, after having befriended Hanako (much to the chagrin of a few), Shisui couldn't seem to stop pestering her about it. The pinkette was lounging on the standard cot provided to all inmates, hands casually folded behind her head on the pillow and her legs crossed over each other to provide some form of modesty due to the black dress they allowed her to wear,
"Geez, you really don't stop- do you?" Hanako was flat with her response, though there was a faint teasing in the undertones if you paid close enough attention to the details. The smirk that followed, also, would've given her away if Shisui and her hadn't taken the time to genuinely get to know each other. He was aware she was being a shitter and feigned a dejected appearance as if she wounded him, "Am I really being that bad?" Shisui inquired with mock-hurt as he took a seat across from Hana, "I mean, I suppose you're not…but I've been lied to before." Hanako giggled, earning a few coughs from the few individuals that were now turning in for the night.
Shisui bid them goodnight, his full attention now being given to the person that had been making him feel fuzzy and confused for a few weeks now. Hanako was now mirroring him from across the way as she, also, sat up to address Shisui a bit more appropriately, "You're not leaving here without me, huh?" Hanako moreover stated than asked, having been around the man long enough to study him and learn his habits and mannerisms, "It might not be much, but I definitely have better food at my place- our place, if you'll just accept my offer already."
He was kind, extending the offer once more as he gave her a sincere smile- which would turn out to be Hanako's downfall, and she accepted. The pastel-haired woman didn't have many belongings to lug around and Shisui was just inwardly ecstatic he wasn't going back home to an apartment where no-one was waiting for him. The flat wasn't too fancy, a two-bedroom with more of a modern taste to it (no doubt from the landlords of the building itself.) Shisui had attempted to make the style more into his taste and Hanako most definitely thought that it was a bachelor's pad- for sure.
Life under Shisui's roof hadn't been as awful as Hanako thought it would be. The miniscule things that made the apartment appear more masculine balanced itself out to look more lived in, and like a woman lived there as well. Hanako had been integrated into the village and was now a Konoha kunoichi, she was thriving and she had managed to fall into a somewhat domestic routine with her roommate. While Shisui had already developed some adoration for Hana, it had taken her a little longer to realize that she had actually become smitten with him- too.
On a particularly cool afternoon, and having the day free from any burdens or responsibilities, Hanako had decided to open some windows to create a cross-breeze that felt amazing against her pale skin. Today her terminal illness was flaring up and the nausea had her nestled up on the futon as the tv provided her with background noise when she wasn't zoned in on the movie she chose. Shisui had returned from work after a half-day and entered through the threshold to discover Hanako spread across the futon, "You're back early, were you too good at your job?" Hanako tried to coo at him, but it came out more winded than she would've liked.
"Not every day is a full day, Hana- scoot over." Shisui rebuttalled, tapping an ankle of hers with his index and pointer finger as if it would get Hana to budge, "Like hell, I don't feel good- crawl in behind me." Hanako groaned in protest as she pointed behind her with her thumb to emphasize herself. Shisui submitted, concerned for his roommate although he knew that there was little he could do to aid her given her illness ran more along being a blood disease and that it would eventually pass.
With no room for arguments the raven-haired male climbed over Hana and onto the futon where he settled in behind Moegi. Admittedly, Shisui and Hanako had never been in such close proximity- and to say he was flustered was an understatement. As Hanako was preoccupied with the horror film she put on, Shisui stole this chance to rove over the way her pinkish hair naturally flowed down her back without the usual ties to keep it up and away from her face.
She wore the same, form-fitting, black dress that he wouldn't quite admit to finding pleasant as it hugged the curvatures of Hanako's body so divinely. He swallowed thickly, though he was grateful that Hana didn't get the chance to see it as he continued to find minute things he found attractive about the fiery woman. The aroma of vanilla and something earthy permeated from the tinier individual and all Shisui wanted to do was reach out and ghost his large, calloused, hands along the natural dips and crevices of Hana's body.
Subconsciously, Shisui did accidentally raise his hand and moved it towards her- hovering just barely over her hip bone. Realizing this, the elder Uchiha inhaled a deep breath to mask the rising panic as he abruptly retracted his hand and Hanako could notice she was almost touched. It was this motion, though, that caused Hanako to shift slightly- craning her head back to look at Shisui, "What, did I do something?" Hanako's tone was soft in contrast to her usual.
She looked so innocent and baffled, staring up at him with those deep-reds he had gotten lost in a time or two, "Don't be silly, it's nothing- you're probably just exhausted." Shisui lied to mask his truth. Hanako maintained eye contact with him a few seconds longer, determining if he was being forthcoming with her or not. Deciding it wasn't worth exerting the effort currently, Hanako submitted and returned her attention to the remaining moments of her film, "Whatever, you're so weird." Hanako murmured. Shisui's chuckle was rich and deep as he continued to glance down 'Oh Hanako, we're just roommates- right?' Shisui thought to himself as he pondered if he was capable of suppressing himself in the foreseeable future.
