For the longest time, Sasuke never celebrated his birthday.

The 23rd of July became just any other ordinary day. Since the fall of his clan, he didn’t have the urge or the will to make the day of his birth special. How can he be happy if he had no one to be with him? It only reminded him that he is all alone… only alive to kill the one whom he thought that loved him the most and avenge his family.

But he was able to celebrate it after a long while. Team 7 insisted he should. It was simple and though he will never admit it out loud, he was grateful.

When the young Uchiha left Konoha however, he made it a distant memory… something he didn’t want to indulge himself with. Bonds will only get in the way of his revenge. And after constantly fighting for years with the truth exposed to him, everything flew out of the window. Only when the war was finished did he get to finally be calm enough to think things through… and remember the day of his birth.

Though he was still on probation, it didn’t stop Naruto and Sakura from celebrating his eighteenth year in the world. It was as rowdy as when they were simply genin, and deep within Sasuke’s heart, he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Now, it was hard not to remember his birthday. Aside from the fact that it falls on a hot summer day, someone was always there to remind him, even days before.

Sasuke felt sleep leaving him completely upon hearing soft giggles near him. Even without opening his eyes, he knew he wasn’t alone in bed anymore. A soft smile formed on his face as the giggles became louder, accompanied with a gentle shush. Finally allowing himself to embrace the new day, mismatched orbs found obsidian and emeralds twinkling with delight at him.

“Happy birthday, Sasuke-kun!” his wife exclaimed before proceeding to sing the entire song for him, holding a cake in her hands. Their one year old daughter clapped and flailed her arms at her own will, accompanying her mother’s tune while cooing and laughing at the same time. Upon seeing her father’s sleepy face, little Sarada slapped her chubby hands on either side of his cheeks.

“Pa! P-Papa!”

Sakura paused in singing the last line to give a hearty laugh when she saw Sasuke’s eyes went wide at their princess’ rather forceful wake-up call.

“Happy birthday dear Sasuke-kun, happy birthday to you!” the kunoichi ended, holding out the cake he knew that was made specifically to match his taste. The flames on the candles danced slowly, catching their little girl’s attention. The head of the household finally joined his family in sitting upright on the large bed, taking Sarada to sit on his lap.

Sakura came closer to them. “Make a wish before you blow your candles, anata,” she reminded him.

He nodded and stared into her jade eyes for a bit longer, then looked down to see his daughter staring at him with wide onyx orbs and a cheeky grin. Closing his own soul’s windows, he reflected his own heart.

“For my dream to come true.”

Sakura’s heart wanted to burst at the sight of his husband and daughter blowing the candles’ flames in sync. Sarada clapped her hands and cooed, kicking a bit and then throwing her fists in the air while laughing. The Uchiha patriarch gave a soft chuckle of his own, stroking the little one’s head with all the fatherly love in the world. His wife placed the cake at the bedside table and just as she was about to turn and face her family, a hand shot out, grabbing her shoulders and pulling her down the bed right beside Sasuke.

She gave a small shriek in surprise that turned into giggles as she felt her husband turn his head to nuzzle her cheek. Their little girl crawled on Sasuke’s chest, cooing and laughing as if telling her parents a story. Sakura cooed back, her hand caressing the baby’s cheeks.

Sarada then lied down on her belly on top of her father, feeling comfortable, head turned sideways to face her mother. Sakura played with their princess’s hands as tranquility enveloped the family of three. Contentment flooded Sasuke’s senses in waves, thanking all the gods for giving him this second chance at life.

“What was your wish, anata?” Sakura whispered softly, twirling her index finger as their little girl tried to grasp it.

He gave one of his genuine smiles reserved only for her. “To be with you and Sarada just like this.”

She raised one questioning eyebrow at him. “Eh? But that’s too simple. You should–”

Sakura wasn’t able to finish for Sasuke already claimed her lips with his, locking in a passionate kiss. Their little moment was interrupted by a coo from their daughter. After seeing her parents share an affectionate moment, she crawled up and kissed her father on his cheeks.

“Papa!”

The medic was able to see up close how a smile formed on his face, a look of absolute happiness taking over his features as he looked at their princess. He kissed her forehead in return and their little girl wiggled her body in happiness. She then reached out towards her mama and gave her a kiss as well.

“M-Mama!”

Sakura laughed and took their baby in her arms. As mother and daughter played with each other, Sasuke looked on, his heart swelling with euphoria at seeing his family smile. The two then looked at him, both grinning widely.

“We love you, papa!” His wife proclaimed as she held Sarada’s hands up in the air.

Their princess giggled and flailed her arms around. “Papa!”

Sasuke didn’t have to look in a mirror to see how wide his smile had gotten. Another year was given to him and his heart swelled with gladness that he got to start it with the people who mean the entire world to him.

“This is what I wished for.” More than anything…more than I deserve.

sssm day 23: new dream

SasuSaku Month Day 23
Title: Brace Me Honey I Need Friction
Prompt: New Dream
Rating: M (children look away)
Day’s Notes: @freshtoxinn wanted pregnancy smut and I ended up making some smuff for everyone; I know its late for day 23 please forgive me lol; yes the title is a lyric to a song…

---

Rainy days always made her chest feel heavy.

A sense of nostalgia would wash over her and she would ache for something she couldn’t recognize.

Drumming her fingers across her protruding stomach, Sakura hummed softly as she watched the rain fall and pitter-patter against the docks of the river village she and Sasuke were currently residing in.

The hut they made their home for the past couple of weeks was on the outskirts of the cluster of huts that were erected directly on top of the river. The fishing community traveled by small boats and the interconnected docks that made up their village.

Sasuke had said the rain would cease to fall in a couple more days and with it would come the fireflies the village was known for. It would be another beautiful sight she would want to bring her child back to see.

Her husband was so soft with her, taking her places he had visited and showing her a world untouched by shinobi.

* Entry for sasusaku Month 2018, Day 23 – New Dream

** Brace yourselves for a mental image of a singing and dancing Sasuke. (Happy Birthday! More babies please?)

*** I do not own Naruto and its characters.

This is the story of how I died.

Don’t worry, this is actually a very fun story and the truth is, it isn’t even mine.

This is the story of a girl named Sakura and it starts with the sun..

********

Kami, I don’t know why I ever climbed that tower.

sigh

That stupid dog Akamaru acting like a royal horse had me running, stumbling and falling. All I wanted was to lose those two ruffians so I could live my dream. A dream that will only come true once I’ve managed to sell the crown.

Who knew that deep within the forest, lies a tower with a well hidden secret?

I’m sure you never knew. Because if you did, you might have known about it. You knowing about it would mean that I may not have been the one telling this story.

After getting hit by something and losing consciousness, I found myself wrapped (?), tied (?), surrounded (?), by a lot of hair. When I say a lot, I’m saying several feet of hair that should not have been possible. That’s not all! The hair I’m talking about was pink. Not just your regular pink, but bubblegum pink! I mean, have you ever met someone with a bubblegum pink hair?

I don’t think so.

To get back my satchel, I agreed to take her to see the lanterns. But she doesn’t know that I am not gonna do it. Seeing the floating lanterns would mean that we have to get close to the castle and I’m telling you, the castle and I are not exactly friendly with each other.

Hence, my current predicament.

With almost all the menacing ruffians surrounding me while hanging on some coat hook, Pinkie, I decided to call her, captured their attention that got one of them singing about his dream:

“ I’m malicious, mean and scary

My sneer could curdle dairy

And violence-wise, my hands are not the cleanest

But despite my evil look

And my temper and my hook

I’ve always yearned to be a concert pianist”

The song went on with someone else’s dream being told until I think, almost everyone’s turn was finished.

“Sai would like to quit and be a florist

Yamato does interior design

Shino is into mime, Choji’s cupcakes are sublime

Neji knits, Kiba sews

Kankuro does little puppet shows

And Gaara collects ceramic unicorns…”

Naruto, the one singing and playing the piano, with a hook instead of a hand, then turns to me, “What about you?”.

“I’m sorry, me?” Does this usuratonkachi mean me? The pretty boy those palace guards can’t get the nose right on those posters?

“What’s your dream?“, said another thug.

No way. “No, no, no. Sorry boys, I don’t sing.”

Several swords threaten to harm my smoldering, onyx eyes made me decide to go for it. Standing on top of the bar, doing a tap dance, I sang:

“I have dreams, like you, no, really

Just much less touchy-feely

They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny

On an island that I own, tanned and rested and alone

Surrounded by enormous piles of money”

Ahhh.. My dream! Yes! The crown which I can only retrieve once I take Pinkie to see the lanterns is the key to success. Much to my relief, they continued singing, chanting about dreams. All thanks to her charm. Wait… No, no, no. I do not find her charming. She’s underdressed, a little bit clumpsy, she’s got pink hair and, her eyes are green, jade ones filled with wonder, eyes that can see right through the soul. *ehem*

We were interrupted by the doors opening so loud that I took us into hiding behind the bar. I heard the guard captain Kakashi yelling “Where’s Senju? Where is he?! I know he’s in here somewhere. Find him and turn this place upside down if you have to!”.

Really, now is not the time to get caught. I haven’t lived my dream yet! And what about Pinkie? Her mother Kaguya will kill me before the guards do if she finds out I was the one who got the looooong haired girl out from that tower. Yikes!

Naruto then flips a switch, opening a trap door to a secret passage. “Go, live your dream.”

Grateful for letting us escape, I thanked him. “I will.”.

“Not you,” he replied, “Your dream stinks. I was talking to her.”

Shame. To think I thought I’ve warmed up to him after all those singing and dancing.

Now, did I tell you what kind of girl Sakura is? Nope? Well, she is kind and sweet. Right after thanking Naruto for everything, she kissed the thug on his cheeks.

*****

Entering the tunnel was a bad idea. We were chased by the guards and those thugs Orochimaru and Kabuto. Almost drowning and dying, her voice broke and her eyes were moist with something else – tears. “This is all my fault. She was right. I never should have done this.” She started to sob which I found nearly heartbreaking. “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry Senju…”

Almost drowning and dying, I decided it wasn’t a bad idea to tell her who I really am. Senju Tobirama? No, that wasn’t my real name. “Sasuke.”

Her puzzled face urged me to go on. “My real name is Uchiha Sasuke. Someone might as well know. ”.

“Hmmm.. I have magic hair that glows when I sing.”

“What?” From sobbing, she then had that look in her eyes that told me she might be delirious. She suddenly became excited. “I have magic hair that glows when I sing!”

The thing when you’re about to face death, your life flashes before you. At times you panic, desperate to fight for your life. There are times too, when you start blabbing total nonsense like this pinkette here. In her case, she chose to sing, just like how she sang her heart out when several blood thirsty thugs were about to poke me with their swords.

“Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine..”

The dark tunnel turned bright when her pink hair glowed. This must be a dream! Maybe I haven’t gone with those two snaky, sneaky thugs to steal the crown. Yeah, that must be it! Maybe this was just a premonition of some sort telling me not to set foot on that tower.

*

Her pink glowing hair had another story to tell.

It appears that Sakura’s hair can heal wounds too.

She wrapped my wounded hand with her hair and sang a special song and voila! My hand looked like I have never gotten that wound in the first place. It didn’t even leave a scar! She told me not to freak out but who does not freak out with a pink glowing, magically healing hair?

Two things played inside my head at that moment.

She said that because her hair had some magical powers, people tried to cut it and wanted it for themselves that’s why her mother kept her in that tower to protect her gift. No wonder the idea of getting out to see the lanterns excited and made her sad at the same time. Staying meant she can never live her dream, leaving meant she’ll break her mother’s heart.

I felt bad about her situation. Compared to the grandiose that was my own dream, hers was not too much to ask for. Sure, she needs protection because her hair looked like it had a neon sign saying “odd”, but seeing those lanterns intended for the lost princess seemed like it meant the world to her. What would I not give to see happiness reflected on those beautiful emerald eyes?

It was settled right there and then.

No matter what it takes, I will help her dream come true.

Oh, she said she liked the name Uchiha Sasuke better than Senju Tobirama.

Awkward, I guess? I left her alone so I could “gather more wood for the fire”. When I came back, she had that gloomy look in her eyes and it bothered me, a lot. “Hey, uh… can I ask you something? Is there any chance that I’m gonna get super strength in my hand because I’m not gonna lie. That would be stupendous.”

It may not have worked so I may have to say something stupid in order to change that. “Hey, are you all right?”

“Oh! Sorry, yes. Just, errm, lost in thought, I guess.”

“I mean because here’s the thing. Superhuman good looks, I’ve always had them–born with it, but superhuman strength? Can you imagine the possibilities of this…?

With Akamaru falling for her charms, we managed to enter the gates of Konohagakure undetected. The entire kingdom prepared for the day’s festivities, the birthday of the lost princess. Someone I know bumped people and animals because her hair was stuck. Good thing there were little girls who were braiding each other’s hairs. With my brilliant mind never running out of ideas, I whistled to attract their attention and pointed out Pinkie, whose hair they happily braided and adorned with flowers.

I knew it’s the enemy territory. The danger of me getting caught was present with all the palace guards roaming the area. But my desire to see a certain someone happy was too strong. For the first time in my life, I wanted to do something that was not for myself and my heart seemed to beat faster than it should. There was something in her, the magic she wields perhaps, that got me thinking twice about my priorities in life and the truth was, she was becoming a part of it.

It was almost dark when the people were asked to proceed to the boats. While she was busy painting the streets, I managed to rent a gondola that would take us to view the lanterns. We left Akamaru behind with a bag of apples for him, a way to thank him for helping me let Sakura enjoy today. It was her birthday afterall.

“Where are we going?”

“Well, the best day of your life, I figured you should have a decent seat.”

She gave me a smile that made my heart skip a beat. If she was having the time of her life now, I on the otherhand, am living to see that smile.

The sea was so still you’d think it also yearns to find the lost princess. Everything went silent as all the men and women waited for the first lantern to light up the sky. It has been 18 years and yet, the princess is still a lost one. What should have been a celebration turned into a heartbreaking moment when she was taken away. Who did it, no one knew. Until this day, every soul hoped that she would one day, find her way home.

“Hmm.”

Sakura was once again lost in thought. “You okay?”

“I’m terrified.”

“Why?” My onyx eyes sought hers, hoping to find the answer.

“I’ve been looking out a window for eighteen years, dreaming about what it might feel like when those lights rise in the sky. What if it’s not everything I dreamed it would be?”

“It will be.”

I tried my best to reassure her. To let her know that it’ll be okay. She took a deep breath and seemed to ponder, “And what if it is? What do I do then?”

“Well, that’s the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream.”

In my case, I’ve found mine – her.
