late with waffles!

Title: watch not one another out of fear
Summary: As tension between the Uchiha and the village grows, Shikako joins the Konoha Military Police; Shisui shows up frequently with lunch for her for prearranged meetings that are definitely not dates.
Notes: Got an ask on wafflelate saying: "I would really enjoy if you could some cute Shisui x Shikako fluff cause you’re the one who got me hooked on the pairing. Thank you for looking at this suggestion and i’m sorry if I sent this and you’re not taking requests (how do I check that?)"

I'm always taking requests unless the notice at the bottom of the entry pinned to the top of this journal changes!

Uh, I don't know if this counts as cute fluff, but I set out to make a verse in which cute Shishi/Shikako stuff could be written without me having to go super far forward in Shadow Under Water verse. This is post-Split Gardens!Shikako. If "post-Split Gardens!Shikako" means nothing to you, you could read this short explanation of the trope, or just keep in mind that this Shikako came from an alternate universe; the details aren't really relevant at this point.

The first scene takes place about a year before the Uchiha Massacre canonically occurs. So, Shisui and Shikako are both about 15 and Shisui will have years and years of trailing after Shikako as she fixes everything in this verse to moon over her before they both get a clue.

Thanks also to the Shisui Agenda who helped me out with this! Uchiha Tokimi, Uchiha Uzume, and Hyuuga Amano are pepperdoken's. Title is from John Donne's The Good-Morrow.
