SASUSAKUMONTH: DAY SEVEN

Love You, Goodbye

“Only the wind knew the unheard words he whispered.”

Another rushed fanart. Hahah. I wonder if this idea was done before. If so, I’m really sorry, this was just purely coincidental (think great minds think alike hahaha).

SasuSaku Month 2017
Day 7: Love You Goodbye

The hardest thing has been to accept that they would never
change, a relationship was between two people and she could never blame it all
on him. He would always leave and she would always wait, it was how the story
went.

And one day he would come back.

That day she had a shift in the hospital and her daughter was
on a mission with her team. Her pale rose hair was up in a ponytail with
strands of hair falling messily over her face, she had bags under her eyes and
was so tired she was counting down the minutes for her shift to end.

She was down in the lobby as she handed the receptionist
some documents when the doors to the hospital opened. As she turned around she
didn’t expect to come face to face with her husband. She was sure the surprise
was clear on her face, she wasn’t expecting him. “Sasuke, welcome home.” She
smiled and in return he nodded as a single syllable escaped his lips.

“Aa.”

It’s not until they are in the confines of their home that
he took her into his arms and held her tightly, she returned the embrace and
they remained like that for a moment. Neither willing to break the magic of the
reunion.

But soon enough she was crying and he pulled away. His hand
cupped her face gently and her eyes turned to him, tears still streaming down
her cheeks. She could see the question in his eyes and the uncertainty.

“I’m just so happy you’re back.” She murmured with a sigh.
“But I know…I know you’ll leave
again…and it just takes from this moment.” She cried harder, she couldn’t help
it, and she wanted nothing more than to kick herself for doing this. For
ruining the moment. “How long?”

“Two months.” She knew the words left his lips almost
regretfully.

Sakura narrowed her eyes as she stepped away from him. She
wiped the tears from her eyes.

“Naruto needs…” He trailed off. “Naruto needs me out there,
he needs me to keep an eye for possible threats.”

“It’s always the same Sasuke, Naruto needs this and Naruto
needs that. We’ll guess what? We need you here too, I need you!” She was
yelling by then, her hands balled up into fists, and she was so angry she
wanted to punch a wall.

“Don’t do this Sakura, I’m doing this for our daughter so
she can have a father she feels proud of, for you so you can feel like you made
the right choice by tying your life to mine.” He reached out to her and she took
another step back.

“I don’t care about any of that, you know that… All I want
is to have you with me, but you’re never here and that makes me question if marrying you was the right decision.” The
moment the words were out of her lips she couldn’t take them back and she saw
how the words hit him, how they hurt because it was everything he feared,
losing her.

“Sakura…”

What would he choose between duty and her? He loves her, she
could see it in his eyes, but they both knew that with him duty always won over
the heart.

“Stay here…with me or leave and never come back.”

Seven days.

It had been seven days since Sasuke’s world came crashing down around him. He couldn’t feel anything. He was numb. Maybe he was getting used to the universe shitting on him. Maybe all the bad karma he’d managed to store up had finally come for him. He wished only he could take it all back if it would mean saving her.

He stood with his back to Konoha. It was the very same hill he’d stood on to look over Naruto’s wedding, only this time, he couldn’t bare to look at the place that had been his home for such a short amount of time.

He’d been a fool.

It would never be his home again. No where could be now. All that was left was the mission.

His jaw set. His entire being strained to stop the prickling at his eyes. As much as he never wanted to see that place again—the place that only brought him pain—he knew he’d be back. Even if he was just passing through, eventually he’d be back. For now though, he had to say goodbye.

“Love You Goodbye”

sakurahiwatari:

At the front door, near dawn, she embraced him. With that hug she gave him all that she could give.

“I’ll see you soon,” he told her.
She knew what he meant. She wouldn’t see him soon, but rather soon-enough, or when he was able to come home.
Sasuke opened the door, and before he could take the step to exit, a small hand found its way into his. He turned to see their little, rambunctious two year-old standing in between the two of them and in each of her tiny hands was one of theirs. She was looking at him.
“Walk?” she asked.
“Not today, Baby. It’s going to rain,” Sakura said, tenderly taking Sarada into her arms and picking her up to hold her. Mother and daughter looked at him, Sarada gripping the collar of her mother’s red dress.
Though Sasuke didn’t say it, he was thankful. Not holding her hand would make a little bit easier to leave.
“Love you,” Sakura said, as he turned toward the horizon again.
“Goidbye,” he said looking back at the two, a soft smile gracing his face. Sakura knew what reflected in that look… love. Love for each of them. After all, they were his family.

Day 7 – Love You Goodbye (SSM17)

.

“That was stupid,” Sasuke seethes through gritted teeth, “why would you do something that stupid, Sakura?”

The kunochi by his side waves him off, “hush, I’m concentrating”.

“Why would you jump in front of me? You don’t need to protect me, Sakura”.

She looks down to her wound in concentration; most of the bleeding has subsided, now just the poison remains. However the strand that runs through her bloodstream is one that can be easily dealt with, as long as one knows the right application of chakra upon said toxin.

Sakura channels the flow of energy through her system.

Sasuke continues his one-sided argument in the background.

“Sasuke-kun,” sweetly, she begins, “I really need to concentrate and–”

“You shouldn’t even be in this position, Sakura,” he continues, frustration evident upon his features.

She sighs, and within that moment, Naruto enters their tent.

“Hey Sakura-chan,” he exclaims, “done yet..oh, no you’re not”. He glances with slight wonderment towards her wound. Sakura tries not to smirk and Sasuke…Sasuke continues to rant.

Naruto turns to the Uchiha with a suspicious gaze, then back to Sakura. “Hey, Sakura-chan….is the bastard bothering you?”

Sasuke stops speaking, and turns to glare at the blond, “excuse me?”

Naruto shrugs, “what? Are you still going on about the whole ‘Sakura-chan saving you’ thing – get over it man. If she hadn’t done that, you’d be the one with the massive whole in your leg”.

Sasuke blinks, his expression grows more severe, “that isn’t the point”.

“Yes is it,” Naruto continues, ignoring the atmosphere of the situation, “you want to be the one to protect Sakura-chan, we get it, we’ve all heard this tale before – the big macho man you are”.

Both Sasuke and Sakura turn to glance at one another for a brief moment.

Sakura slowly begins with a, “uh Naruto…what are you–”

“And we all know what intentions you have, bastard,” continues the blond, folding his arms over his chest and nodding at his own sentiments.

Sasuke pinches the bridge of his nose, “Naruto–”

“And we know how this scene would have played out,” Naruto continues, taking a step closer to the pair, “we know Sasuke would have attempted to hide his pain as Sakura healed your wounds with trembling hands, and a breathy voice”.

Sakura scoffs, “excuse me?”

“And we know,” Naruto cuts in, louder, with his head held higher, “that they’ll be a moment between you two where Sakura-chan finishes healing you, and she pauses, and so do you bastard. Your eyes will meet. Sakura-chan will lean in closer”.

Sasuke’s eyes widen, “Naruto, what the f–”

“She’ll whisper to you,” Naruto uncrosses his arms, and clasps them together, “‘I love you, Sasuke-kun’. But! Being the person that you are, you tell her, ‘I’m sorry, Sakura-chan – this cannot happen. Goodbye‘”.

Sakura throws a roll of gauze towards Naruto, It bounces off his head.

“Naruto!” Sakura exclaims, “get out!”

But the blond continues to stand there; still oblivious to the gauze roll attack but scratching his head nonetheless. “Hang on,” Naruto drags out, “with this plan, you don’t end up with Sakura-chan…hey bastard. What the hell? Why would you go with this plan?”

Sasuke stares blankly at the blond, “what…”

“What
exactly is your end game here, bastard?”

Sasuke takes a look once more towards Sakura, she shrugs, also at a loss for how to react to whatever it was that they’d just heard. Sasuke turns back to Naruto, “idiot, get out of this tent”.
