"You are utterly hopeless," he told her as he lazily traced circles on his thigh, avoiding her eyes, her lips, her face.
"I know," she murmured and tried to catch the tears threatening to spill out of her eyes; one drop, two, three. The tears burst onto her vermillion dress covering it in dew drops even as she hurriedly wiped them off with her tiny (fragile) baby hands.
He looked over at her not knowing what to say or do, so he sat there wringing his hands on his khaki pants (that she bought for him for their three month anniversary) creating canyons and valleys of wrinkles in the fabric.
"But…" he started to say, but bit his lower lip, stopping the flow of words threatening to spill out and ruin, ruin what? Why he might as just end this awkward silence that was starting to strangle him, and say everything. Say the words that needed to be spoken because they both knew what needed to be said, but fright and egos stopped them.
She gazed at him expectantly, watching him bite at his shapely lower lip that was red, oh gawd, so red. Scarlet flesh that she couldn't take her eyes off, and the carnal, animalistic hunger gnawing at her insides. She felt her stomach turn and flip with the wanting all too familiar; and it ached. It ached that she just had to sit waiting and waiting.
He watched as her gaze turned from sad to hungry and her eyes cloud over all too knowingly.
"Sakura," he said, leaning towards her, "I…."
And it was the rush of togetherness.
Her body molded into his own.
Their lips crashed together, arms entangled, legs entangled, tongues intertwining.
He tasted her tears, her hunger, her want, her beauty.
"Sakura," he said, gasping for air.
And she stopped and watched him with baited breath; lips bruised, eyes wide.
"You have to let me go."
Let me go let me go let me go.
"I can't."
And as more of her tears (clear yet sorrow-filled) splashed onto her hands, her legs, her vermillion dress, he watched her, pain wrenching in his gut, and ran, only seeing red as he left love and his heart behind.
"Sasuke. Please, remember me."
But many words fall upon deaf ears.
