❝ I can’t imagine my future without you. ❞ :)

     She’s curled up on the couch next to him when the words leave her lips, and he feels it like a kick to the stomach. 

     Maybe it’s the light rain, the low rumble of thunder, the way the steam from his tea rises and dissolves. Maybe it’s the muggy mid-June air enveloping them from the cracked window across the room. Maybe it’s the way her hair brushes against his arm as it rests across the back of the sofa, or the flutter of her eyelashes as she lowers her head. 

     Whatever it is, he’s warm. Unbelievably warm. And he seems to have lost all coherent thought because, try as he might, he can’t get any words out. Not that anything he’d say could properly convey his feelings– but the silence sinking in the air is almost too much. 

     His flak jacket hanging on the rack next to the front door is a reminder of the context of her statement. Tomorrow is another A-Rank for him– investigation based, probably– and Kurenai leaves for a recon with her team in the next few days. They never talk about the subject because, hell, if you’re dumb enough to want something like consistency as a Shinobi….

     Fingers twitch for a smoke, but he ignores the itch and runs a hand through her hair instead, dips his head low, and his presses his lips to her temple. Maybe if he holds her tighter, time will slow down. 

     ‘…’Mnot going anywhere. ’

裁判を考える

[sarutobisms]

asuma rolls his own cigarettes in his free time

he also meditates best he can

asuma regrets not having a better relationship with his father, but he’s still part of the ‘hiruzen’s a bitch’ squad forever & always

his attitude was shitty as a kid -- typical asshole stuff. shadow of his name, daddy issues, no mother to grow up with. he was reckless, snobby, and kind of a dick tbh

if we’re being honest -- ya boy didn’t have a whole lotta skill. his brute strength and detailed attention to body movements really propelled asuma’s training. it took longer than most to learn proper chakra management.

his time at the fire daimyo was life-altering, traumatic, and necessary for his independent growth away from his father and last name. hell if he’s ever told anybody about what really happened, though.

his demeanor is 100% different when he returns to active duty in konoha - suddenly, he is humbled, steadfast, and even a little hopeful

he loves being a teacher, surprisingly. it feeds him in ways he didn’t expect. his idea of ‘the king’ is born from the years working with genin teams.

WHO’S CUTTING THE ONIONS 😭😭😭😭

 Home is where one starts from-

    As we grow older, the world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated of dead and living. Not the intense moment isolated, with no before and after, but a lifetime burning in every moment. And not the lifetime of one man only, but of old stones that cannot be deciphered. […] The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters of the petrel and the porpoise. 

                                                            In my end is my beginning.

from infloreo! here’s where to take it. 

CHAMOMILE. Easy-going, friendly and well liked, you’ve got a gentle and sweet nature and a calming presence that puts others at ease. Your sensitivity to others may cause you to take on too much of other people’s feelings, though, and you may even be prone to worry. 

Calming chamomile holds the key to relaxation if your busy mind makes it difficult to unwind. Soft, sweet and gently soothing, chamomile works to restore a sense of peacefulness and ease, and can settle an upset stomach while relaxing a nervous mind.

NETTLE. Truly a nurturing and supportive friend, you’re the kind of person that just isn’t for everyone. But those who take the time are rewarded with your gentle disposition, and the kind of friendship that does a person good no matter the difficulty they’re facing. When out of balance, you can become more prickly than supportive or nurturing, though—a sign that you need to shower yourself with the same kind of nurturing you so freely give to others.

Nettle is a deeply supportive herb that has been used for centuries as a tonic to support your body’s well-being. A traditional springtime tonic whose alluring “green” taste is a reflection of the rising green of spring, nettle gently nourishes the whole body.

PEPPERMINT. Unflappable. You are cool in the crisis, calm in the storm, collected amongst the chaos. You’re a breath of fresh air, a waft of inspiration to the down-and-out, a refreshing, inspiring, uplifting person to be around. Of course, even a cool cucumber like yourself can run into trouble. You may try to take on too much, which can leave you feeling weighed down and not quite yourself. 

With its comforting breath of fresh air and the peppery, sweet familiar scent that tingles your nose, peppermint is a classic candy flavor. But there’s herbal wisdom hiding in those after dinner mints—peppermint oil also has the power to relieve occasional indigestion and soothe your stomach when your digestion needs a little help.
