Her head rested comfortably on Yue's chest and she sighed happily when his hand came to rest there, stroking idly through her hair.

It was a warm summer day and they were far from civilization, the illusion card provided them with an unseen barrier that prevented anyone from venturing into the little nook of the forest that they'd decided to rest in.

Kero snored lightly in the picnic basket after having consumed the better part of the feast that Sakura had brought on their adventure. The Sakura cards hummed happily with power as they were fed by the contentment of their Mistress.

"It looks like a flower," Sakura murmured drowsily.

The hand in her hair stopped.

"What looks like a flower?" Yue questioned in that soft, polite tone of his.

Sakura smiled up at the blue, blue sky.

"That cloud," she answered as she pointed.

A slightly awkward silence that brought a hint of pink to Sakura's cheeks. Was cloud watching too childish now that she was no longer a teenager? Did you still think her a child? How embarrassing!

"Show me?" Yue's plea was almost too soft for Sakura to hear.

She turned from her position so she could look up at Yue and smile widely with happiness. She moved up, closer, until they were cheek to cheek and she could feel the warm, smoothness of his skin, smell the scent of water and wind, and feel the tickle of his silver hair against her neck.

She brings up her finger, making sure to be as accurate as possible when she uses it to point out a cloud formation in Yue's line of sight. "Those are its leaves, and the stem, and the petals are a little droopy."

"Oh," Yue said. "I thought it was a tree."

Sakura stared. "It does look like a tree," she admitted with a giggle. "What about that one?"

"A sword."

"Oh, I thought a baton."

"Well, what of that one?"

"A bunny."

"Hmm, I agree."

Sakura looked away from the bright white softness of floating clouds to the quiet smile in Yue's eyes and knew that cloud watching would never be childish.
