Very short drabble. P Like some of my other works, this is part of a fairly large collection of drabbles. There will be fifteen in all, so if anyone cares at all, then I hope you wait patiently for the next installment.

Sakura slept with a teddy bear. Most people didn't know this, of course, not even her own family... Partially because it was a recent addition to herassortment of stuffed animals. Though to be honest, the collection was only updated about once a year. Every winter, Sakura received a doll of some sorts, this time, a fluffy white bear. It had that alluring aroma stuck to its body, the fragrant scent of lilies, which could only be found in Ino's shop around this time of year. Sakura shook her head at her friend's attempts to send her gifts anonymously, and absently wondered if Ino had received her packages of seeds. They were an assortment of various flowers, namely hyacinths, violets, roses, and daisies.

Some time Ino will plant them, possibly in Spring, and Sakura would go to see how nicely they'll bloom... But for now, she lay in her bed in the midst of the night, hugging the bear to her chest.

Although it were a bit childish, she knew neither of them could quite express their friendship any other way.
