HELLO I AM BACK AGAIN TO REMIND YOU WE WERE ROBBED OF INO & GAARA BEING BESTIES IN THE GREENHOUSE!!!

give me delinquent gaara, with his face tattoo and his dozen of piercings (no, i will never let those go, thanks for asking) and his terrible pisspoot attitude, who gives the little old ladies that come into the yamanaka shop a fright, but ino will hype the fuck outta him. he is THE walking encyclopedia for every flower in that shop.

give me ino - brilliant, stunning, flawless goddess that she is - knowing every single person who comes into the shop by name and family tree, and gaara fumbling to keep up but by gosh, he's trying. he's just trying to social.

give me ino, gossip queen, talking shit about garbage customers and even worse garbage neighbors, while gaara makes little clay pots for all the plants that both will paint later while trying not to mix up their paint & drink cups.

give me gaara staring unflinchingly at some dickbag that came in trying to harass ino. he may be short, but he will not hesitate to fuck you up, buddy.

GIVE ME COZY SWEATERS AND STRING LIGHTS AND THE GENTLE BUMP OF THEIR SHOULDERS WHILE THEY SWAY TO SOFT MUSIC AS THEY ARRANGE FLOWERS FOR A BABY SHOWER. GIVE ME INO'S ROARING LAUGH AND GAARA'S QUIET CHUCKLE WITH DIRT SMEARED ACROSS THEIR CHEEKS.

GIVE ME FLOWER KIDS!!!!

you will pry goddess ino and delinquent gaara besties who use passive-aggressive flower language in the shop from my cold, dead hands

inoshikacho & sand brat dynamics: part 1 - ino

I. the blonde goddesses. the sand queen and the leaf queen. courtney love's verses in rat-a-tat. high heels and short skirts. nails like claws, cheshire smiles lined in ruby red. textbook example of ‘i dress this way for no one but me’. the type to turn heads the second they enter the room, arms linked together, muffled bass line of bishop briggs' river in the background. simultaneously turn you on and terrify you. want to hit on them? will stare you down, unblinking, with symmetrical perfectly arched eyebrows while hall&oats warn you 'watch out boy, she'll chew you up' from the back of your mind (though you're not sure if you've ever actually heard the song before). will trash talk everyone and everything, no one is safe. especially their brothers. really though? up all night messing with new hairstyles and watching bad comedies, eating as much popcorn as they can before the boys come home. talk economics and international relations over omelets and hot coffee.

II. the firecrackers. the ones who constantly give each other shit. the kind of friends that talk in insults and give each other bruises fighting over the remote. don't dare try to be the same though. it is a right between them and they will fiercely protect the other. loud support during dumb relays at family picnics. always first to pick the other for their team. fall asleep draped over the other during movie night, every time. steal each other's makeup and spend too much time arguing over shades of purple. spontaneous dance parties at all hours and locations. entirely likely to find both of them jumping on the couch, belting out die young or good girls go bad in their pjs at two in the afternoon.

III. the flower children. soft aprons and dirt smudges across their knuckles, but never their faces, no matter how many swipes they take at their bangs. one with flawless hair swinging behind her in that perfect high ponytail, the other with messy curls, looking like he just rolled off the couch after a catnap that lasted longer than he meant. stacks of old texts and blank journals between them, cross referencing and sketching every detail and fact. go shopping together for dorky pots to fill the shop with. gentle voices under the greenhouse's string lights, pointing out the fireflies and shoulders bumping every so often, laughter overpowering ed sheeran and jack's mannequin.
