I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you’re far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
When every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Uchiha Sasuke knows that the woman in his arms is what an angel looks like in slumber. It’s way past midnight, and Konoha is enveloped with silence of darkness. Sarada lays in her crib beside the bed, sound asleep. He wants to join his wife in dreamland, but he cherishes this moment more than sleep. Despite the lack of any moonlight due to the new moon, it didn’t stop Sasuke from gazing at his wife. Sakura looked so peaceful the sight just warms his heart. A soft smile is plastered on her face, and he knows she’s having a nice dream.

It’s becoming a habit of his lately. He would sleep late just watching her sleep, and she would wake up earlier than him. She would try to wake him up, with baby Sarada cooing. He would then open his eyes to the sight of his wife and daughter smiling at him, and it is a treasure that cannot be rivalled by anything else in the world.

I don’t wanna close my eyes
I don’t wanna fall asleep
‘cause I’d miss you, babe,
And I don’t wanna miss a thing.
‘cause even when I dream of you,
The sweetest dream will never do
I’d still miss you, babe,
And I don’t wanna miss a thing.

He craves for moments like this one. Despite the growing heaviness of his eyes, Sasuke didn’t give in to the soft calling of sleep. A stray lock of hair fell on his wife’s face when she moved slightly. He tucked it behind her ear, and his palm rested on her cheeks for a while. He has already memorized every side of her face to the point it’s natural for him to see her even in his mind.

But he chooses to dwell in this reality, because his reality is finally better than any fantasy.

Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating
And I’m wondering what you’re dreaming
Wondering if it’s me you’re seeing
And then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we’re together
I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever

A smile found its way to his lips as Sakura softly mumbled his name in her sleep. She snuggled up to him, and he moved a little to make her comfortable. His eyes scanned her face again, loving the serenity on her face. Sasuke kissed her forehead, her eyes, her nose, her cheeks, and then her lips. What could only be described as pure happiness settled in his heart.

He’s more than thankful to have a second chance at happiness when all he deserved was loneliness because of his actions. Sasuke promised that he’ll do everything in his power to protect them. He lost everything once, no way in hell would he allow it to happen again.

I don’t wanna close my eyes
I don’t wanna fall asleep
’cause I’d miss you, babe,
And I don’t wanna miss a thing.
’cause even when I dream of you,
The sweetest dream will never do
I’d still miss you, babe,
And I don’t wanna miss a thing

A yawn escaped from him, and he wiped away the small tears that came along with it.

Not yet, he thought.

Dreams couldn’t match this moment. Since the two of them travelled together, him looking at her happens unconsciously. It’s like a moth is drawn to the flame, a wave drawn to the shore. Sasuke enjoys every single moment of it, because there is always a small part inside him that is afraid it might be the last.

I don’t wanna miss one smile
I don’t wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you, right here with you,
Just like this
I just wanna hold you close
And feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment for all the rest of time

Sakura smiled again in her sleep, and Sasuke is glad. No one deserves happy dreams more than her. He always wondered if she slept soundly when he left the village all those years ago. He surely didn’t.

He planted another soft kiss on her forehead. He will never admit it out loud, but he likes cuddling his Sakura. She always has this warmth that he never knew he needed. He listened softly to her heartbeat, the steady rhythm assuring him that she’s real… that she’s really beside him as his wife and the mother of his child.

How he wishes that this moment would last forever.

I don’t wanna close my eyes
I don’t wanna fall asleep
’cause I’d miss you babe,
And I don’t wanna miss a thing.
’cause even when I dream of you,
The sweetest dream will never do
I’d still miss you babe,
And I don’t wanna miss a thing

Darkness may be all around, but now Sasuke didn’t hate it. It’s not lonely anymore for him. with his wife and daughter, it’s more than enough to light up his world.

He still isn’t sure if he even deserves this, but he’ll prove that he is. Knowing this kind of love made him more protective than ever. As sleep tries to win him over again, a small smile graced his face. It has been a good day, and he hopes that ever day would be better than the last. With one last look at Sarada and Sakura, sleep finally won.

He allowed himself to close his eyes, looking forward to tomorrow – a tomorrow filled with love and laughter with his own family.
