Sasusaku Month 2017

Day 23 –  It Was Always You

Looking
down at the small bundle in his wife’s arms, Sasuke finds it hard to breathe.
Soft onyx curls, and porcelain skin; she looks so fragile he’s scared she’ll
shatter at his touch. He feels proud; so proud of how far they’ve come. This
child is living proof of the love he and his wife share. 

Sakura
looks up at him with tired eyes. She has an ethereal glow about her and he
can’t help but admire her beauty. He takes notice of the yin seal on her
forehead glowing ever so slightly, and wonders how exhausted she must be.

He
reaches his lone hand out to gently caress one of Sarada’s rosy cheeks, and is
surprised when she stirs. As her eyes flutter open and she gazes at him in
wonder, he’s enchanted. Looking into his daughter’s eyes, Sasuke sees a reflection
of what he wishes to be. She knows nothing of evil. She knows nothing of war or
of death. She represents the purity of the world, and he makes a vow to himself that
nothing will steal that from her. She was sent to rescue him from the darkness
he was lost in for so long. She is his light, his strength, his miracle. She is
their miracle.

Sasuke
doesn’t realize he’s crying until Sakura reaches up to wipe away his tears. She
grins through glassy eyes and tear-stained cheeks, and tells him she loves him.
Those three words don’t even begin to express what he feels in his heart, so he
simply kisses her. Their lips linger on one another’s for what seems like
minutes, until he feels her tremble. He pulls her to him, and as he holds her
in his arms he realizes the darkness he had grown accustomed to has faded to
light. He is finally saved.
