Characters: Fuji Yumiko, Fuji Shuusuke
Summary: Yumiko is curious about Shuusuke's new hobby.
Notes: Just a word-picture that wouldn't leave me alone.
~~~~~~~~~~
Prickle
Yumiko wonders when Shuusuke develops an interest in cactuses when he turns thirteen, although he's had odd freaks before and this one seems harmless. She doesn't see the appeal of the things herself, but Shuusuke fusses endlessly over the squat, bristly little plants that hunker in their pots. Finally she asks Shuusuke what the point is.
Shuusuke doesn't reply right away, busy dribbling water over them, but eventually he looks down to the back yard, where Yuuta is frowning as he hits a tennis ball against a wall, and says, "Practice."
"I see," Yumiko says, and hopes it will work.
end
Yeah, hi, not actually dead, just in grad school, which is why there's been so much radio silence. Actual fics of substance are in the pipeline, because working on them is more fun than grading papers.
