Pairing: Ryoma x Sakuno
Summary: Ryoma gets Sakuno the wrong anniversary present.
Notes: Crap. XD Theme 12 of 15hugs. Theme is fur. Yeah. Short, pointless.


“Obaa-chan!” Ryuuzaki Sakuno cried. “What is that?”

“Hm? Oh, this? It’s a shawl, why?”

“But... but, it’s real fur, isn’t it?” Sakuno looked at her grandmother with wide eyes. “Some poor fox is dead because of that shawl, obaa-chan!”

“Well, my obaa-chan gave it to me when I was about your age, Sakuno-chan, and I was going to give it to you.”

“No! I don’t want it.” Sakuno frowned. “I thought you knew how I felt about fur.”

“It’s a family heirloom, Sakuno-chan.” The older woman practically pleaded with her granddaughter.

“But it’s wrong, obaa-chan!” She closed her eyes and shuddered. “It’s like… it’s like… wearing death on your shoulders!”

Ryuuzaki Sumire winced. “That’s an… interesting way of putting it.”

The younger girl nodded firmly. “Poor animals.”

Echizen Ryoma, age 27, cringed as he heard this exchange. When he had bought his wife their one-year anniversary gift, he had expected to get a hug and maybe (hopefully!) a kiss.

“I guess it’s back to that hell-hole again.” He muttered. He put the fur hat and matching scarf back into their box, grabbed the receipt and headed off to the mall.
