Loved (Nadeshiko & Nakuru gen)

Title: Loved
Length: 98 words
Prompt: icon meme
Pairing: Nadeshiko and Nakuru gen
Other: n/a
Excerpt: She and Nakuru would stay up all night and cook and laugh and smile. She would braid Nakuru's hair and Nakuru would kiss her cheek and be her daughter in England, no matter how exactly they were related.

Nadeshiko would have loved Nakuru, of course. It would have been impossible for her not to recognize herself in Nakuru's personality. And when she found out how her husband was related to the charming English gentleman, she would have invited them all to stay. She and Nakuru would stay up all night and cook and laugh and smile. She would braid Nakuru's hair and Nakuru would kiss her cheek and be her daughter in England, no matter how exactly they were related.

But Nadeshiko never met Nakuru, and Nakuru never dreamed, so what might have been will never be.
