Title: Till Death Do Us Part

Rating: T/PG-13

Notes: Sorry to keep you waiting, but at last, the final chapter is here ^^ It’s sad but at the same time accomplishing because it’s the first time that I finish a multi-chaptered story and that I write so much in such amount of time.

The notes are a bit long this time, but I’d like you to read them, since they can be useful.

This time, the prompt is symbolic. Looking for information for my next story (that hopefully will use some of the prompts I still haven’t done) I found on a book about Japanese Mythology that the snake, among other things, symbolises lust. Imagine the possibilities that opened in my mind at that moment *grin* Regarding the slug, the only thing I could find was the healing power, so Sakura gets stuck in the medical field once again.

I decided that both their names are written in kanji, since both of them belong to old families (I haven’t seen any examples of this written in hiragana/katakana, like in the manga). For those who feel curious…  団扇 佐助 // 春野桜 (I know that in Sasuke’s case those are the kanji for “uchiwa“, but… ^^U)

The events described in the fanfic are my impressions after watching several videos and reading about the topic. There will be mistakes, of course, so I apologise in advance.

Be aware that the rating has gone up. There’s nothing really explicit but you’ll know what’s happening. If I labelled it incorrectly, please don’t hesitate to tell me. Since a few years, the rating system has been a mess. I’ve found really strong things under the M/R and even the T/PG-13 tags and really innocent ones under T/PG-13 so, I’m more or less following my instinct.

Thanks to the lovely @isa-chi who put up with my ramblings and my frustration, and advised me on a couple of topics especially related to OOC. And also to all the people who read it, sent messages, liked, reblogged and followed me, waiting patiently for updates. You don’t know how happy each of those single things made me. And thank you to @sasusakumonths for organising it. It’s been really fun ♡

As always, if there’s something wrong (spaces, brackets…), please, tell me. I hope you enjoy this final instalment 🙂

Glossary: I’ve tried to keep the Japanese terms to a minimum, though some things are not accurately translated

–uchikake: the bridal kimono. It can be white (the most common used for the ceremony) or with colours (normally used for the celebration). it’s much more heavier than a normal kimono, and it’s tied differently too.
–onigiri: riceball
–nori: the seaweed that is wrapped around the onigiri

TILL DEATH DO US PART

Drinking a sip of her coffee, Sakura observed as Sasuke started to complete their marriage form, the pen in his right hand tracing the kanji of his full name slowly, as if he feared to make a mistake. They had decided to fill it and take it to the Ward Office together so, early in the morning, Sakura had gone to his apartment carrying the documents she would need.

SasuSaku Month 2017

Day 15: The Slug And The Snake

“Sasuke-kun! A gacha machine!”

Sakura ran ahead from his neighbor slash best friend Sasuke and headed to the rows of capsule toy vending machine. Lately, it’s been a hobby of hers to collect the little toys and display them in her bedroom. The lad just sighed and followed her inside the toy store.

“You’ll use up all your money again, Sakura,” he warned her. Her addiction to the game is a bit alarming already.

She just grinned. “But they’re so nice! I like seeing my collection getting bigger, Sasuke-kun. Besides, I’m only picking the 100 yen ones.”

At the familiar sound of the gacha landing on the receptacle, Sakura clasped her hands, excited what the machine has given to her. Sasuke looked on, sitting beside her.

“Ooh, a slug!” the pinkette exclaimed as she opened the capsule. “Uwaaah, look Sasuke-kun! It’s cute!”

“Great. Can we go now?”

She pouted. “Already?”

“I’m helping you save some money, Sakura.”

“Why don’t you try one, Sasuke-kun?”

He just gave her a bored look, and he shook his arm affectionately. “Come on, try it!”

“Fine, if it makes you happy.” With a sigh, Sasuke took a 100 yen from his pocket and entered it in the machine. He took the capsule as Sakura watched with a big smile on her face.

“A snake,” he deadpanned.

“Uwaaah! But it’s a cute one!” Sakura proclaimed in defense of the toy.

He handed it to her. “Keep it then. It’s yours.”

“But Sasuke-kun!” she protested. “You used your own money, so therefore it’s yours.”

“I have no use for it.”

The pinkette gave him a glare. “Fine. But I’m just keeping it for you, okay? It’s still yours.”

“Tch. How annoying.”

Sakura gave him a quick hug before turning her attention again to the gacha machines. Onyx eyes continued to watch her with a certain gentleness in them. A while later, Itachi called the two six year olds to eat for lunch.

Eighteen years later, the slug and the snake toys were one of the cake toppers in one of their engagement cakes.
