Day 1: Hero(es)

AN.: Sorry I’m late. Happy Sasusaku Month 2018!

Sasuke never considered himself a hero. At first he was an avenger, when there was nothing left to avenge, I realized he just had been an idiot.

Today he is a father, fathers are usually seen as heroes by their young ones for the first few years of their innocent existence.

But Sarada barely knows him, she’s 2 now and she cries whenever her mother tries to hand her over to him on the rare occasions they have to be together.

It hurts not to be able to mend a bond with his daughter the way his wife is, but he knows that his task is to be a hero in another way. His heroic act consist of making sure that the world his daughter is supposed to grow up on is safe.

He may not be the conventional daddy-hero-type, but he is the greatest hero to her and their daughter, Sakura reassures him, caressing his cheekbone and hair, whenever they lie in bed, sweaty and tired, but in a home full of love.
