my family of three

Summary:

In which Taichi muses on cherry blossoms and, indirectly, family.

Notes:

This was written for my shiritori turn and the Dove Drabbles Prompt # 91: cherish the blossoms for May 2021, and narrated for the Voiceteam 2021 sounds like challenge. Cosbrarian created the covers for both the sfx and no sfx versions, and YoursFemmely recorded the pencil tapping sound.

    “Doesn’t he want his lunch?” Chihaya asks absently, frowning as she skims her notes before class. Her pencil is tapping against the table’s surface, a meditative sound.

    Taichi blinks, coming back from idle daydreams about cherry blossom viewing along Sumida River.

    “His lunch?” he asks, craning his neck to look at the counter beside the sink, where a neat bento is still sitting.

    Taichi doesn’t bother swearing, just dashes across the floor to cram his feet into a pair of shoes as he reaches for the door.

    “Can’t he just buy something?” Chihaya calls, the door swinging shut behind him.
