The Art of Trust

The Beginning

Heyho. I know you all want to read some Cherry Blossom ff, because I wanted to read some too but there still aren't enough! That's why I decided to write my own Cherry x Reader ff. English isn't my first language so feel free to correct my mistakes, but have mercy on me. Let's see how this writing thing will work out. Hopefully it'll be more than one chapter lmao.

-> Things written like this are thoughts!

But enough talking. Let's get right into the story.

„Are you sure that this is what you want Lilith? This will last forever ... "
„Oh come on mum! We've talked about this at least a hundred times. I've always wanted to get a tattoo and now that I'm eighteen I don't need your permission anymore."
You've watched the young girl argue with her mother for the last seven minutes. At the beginning the the girl named Lilith couldn't decide if the tattoo you've drawn as a sketch for her was actually what she wanted and now the mother showed her concern. You sighed. Another day, another argument. If someone would give me a dollar for every concerned mother in my shop I'd be a millionaire by now.
You were deep in thoughts when you noticed that it's was silent in your tattoo studio. When you looked up from your desk again Lilith and her mother were staring at you. Waiting for you to answer their question.
„Umm pardon? I didn't get the last part could you repeat it for me?" you asked smiling sheepishly at the two grownups in front of you.
„I asked what the price of the tattoo would be." The younger one said.
„Ah yes of course. That would be 38.000 yen!"
„Lilith are you sure that you want to get a tattoo? Its so expensive."
„Ughhh Yes I want it and now stop it mum. Miss l/n, will I be paying now or after getting the tattoo?"
„Afterwards." you said making your way around the table to the girl. „Please go to the second room on your right. Ill quickly get the supplies needed and then we'll start right away with your flower-tattoo. Oh and You may call me y/n."
After setting everything up and making the mother go away you smiled at Lilith.
With the same smile on your lips you began to „draw" your masterpiece on the upper left side of Liliths back. Let's get this bread.
...
„And? Do you like how your tattoo turned o--„ Your question was interrupted by the girl hugging you tightly.
„I LOVE IT!!!!" she screamed in your ear. Fuuuuuuk how is a person even able to be this loud? „Its more beautiful than I thought it would be! No offence tho hahahaha." You saw the happiness on your customers face. This is why i love being a tattoo artist. The people who come to my studio are always different but yet so similar. Happy faces make me happy too.

After the mother left with her daughter you sat down at the counter, finally being able to relax. This appointment was the last one of the day. While stretching your arms your eyes flew across the room. „Sancus" was the name of the god of Trust and the name of your tattoo studio. Saying tattoo studio feels a bit wrong because „Sancus" was more than that. It was everything you ever wanted. You currently were a well known tattoo artist and piercer in Okinawa and from time to time you also had your own art exhibitions. When you were still a kid your father was the owner of the shop you were currently in. Being an tattoo artist himself he managed to enchant you with his passion and teached you everything you had to know about the business. You begann helping him in his studio when you started high-school and set your goal to be a famous artist when you get older. Sadly your dad died in a car accident three years ago. After that you became the owner of his studio and continued with his beloved job. Knowing that making art is the thing you and your father loved the most kept you on the right path in addition too your two friends, Kojiro and Kaoru. They helped you through hard times and you helped them when Adam left. The golden trio is what many people in Okinawa called you because the three of you were not only best friends but also well known with your own businesses. While Kojiro Nanjo was the chef of an Italien restaurant called „Sia la Luce" and a goofy as well as flirty man, Kaoru Sakurayashiki was a polite and intelligent known as a successful AI calligrapher.

„Oiiii v/n!" you hear a familiar voice shout snapping you out of your daydream.
„Kojirooooooo! Kaoru! What are you doing here?" You ask eyeing both men and checking their outfits. Kaoru was wearing his navy blue Yucata while his pink hair was loosely tied back over his left shoulder. He smiled at you politely. Kojiro on the other hand wore his chef outfit indicating that he either was on his way to the restaurant or had a short break in which he decided to visit you along with his friend.
„Kaoru your were right! She really forgot about it." Kojiro said while putting a hand on his heart and acting hurt.
„Told you so" Cherry answered acting hurt as well. When he saw the puzzled look on your face he continued.
„My lovely y/n we were supposed to meet at the restaurant 15 minutes ago."
„Ohhh shit. Sorry I actually had an appointment with a customer till 10 minutes ago..." blushing you looked at the ground of your shop.
„Don't mind don't mind. Let's go tho, I am hungry and I want you both to try my new pasta!" Kojiro said with a sparkle in his eyes.
„Are you trying to poison us again you gorilla?" Kaoru asked with a mocking tone in his voice hinting the last time Kojiro wanted you to try out his new recipe. A shiver went down your spine remembering the event. Gross you thought.
„What do you know about cooking four eyes?? I just added a little bit too much salt the last time!"
While both of them started to argue you grabbed your black cloak and your bag shoving the grown men out of your studio. This is going to be a long night...

-At The Restaurant-

Kaoru and you sat next to each other at the bar drinking some wine. After Kojiro left to prepare the pasta an awkward silence settled down. Glancing up from your glass you saw his golden eyes looking right at you. Jesus Christ this man is too fine for his own good.
„How was your day y/n?" he asked still looking deep in your e/c eyes.
Before you could answer you tried to calm yourself down. Somehow you always got nervous when you were alone with him.
„It was quite alright. I had five appointments for tattoos and several others for piercings. There also was that good looking guy from the motorcycle shop who asked me if I'd be interested in a collaboration." you said, thinking about your plans with the shop, not noticing the way Kaoru looked at you when you mentioned the „good looking guy".
Cherry hummed. „Better looking than me?" He teased. A blush made its way to your face, Stammering some words hoping the man besides you would just stop starring at you. „N-Noo. I mean ehem i don't know, maybe... or..NOOO!...How could someone possibly be more attractive than you?" you answered muttering the last part.
Kaorus eyes widened. SHIT big oppsie! Did he actuallyhear the last part?! Panicking you searched for Kojiro or a way out of then conversation.
„Please excuse me, Ive to use the restroom!" Bowing you practically run away to the toilets almost bumping into Kojiro on your way.

-Kaorus POV-
He still sat in his chair looking at the place y/n was some seconds ago. Did she just? N000 as if... unless? He thought feeling the heat in his cheeks.
Truth be told, he didn't think that you'd actually answer his question. He just really likes teasing you and couldn't resist that opportunity. The way you alway get shy and a stammering mess made Cherrys heart stopp.
Cute he thought.
„Yo four eyes. What did you do to y/n?" Kojiro asked his friend, brows narrowing.
„Nothing you Gorilla!" he snapped back. „We just talked and she had to use the bathroom."
„Didn't look that way. Her cheeks were red as hell. Did you do something nasty to my poor y/n?" the green haired man smirked at his friend with a knowing look on his face. „NO you idiot. Maybe you're mistaking me with yourself." Kaoru countered still thinking about your answer.
