Embrace

Sasuke's mismatched eyes squinted as he walked forward towards nowhere in particular. The sun was beating down hard in this dimension, and he could feel his skin literally burning from its harsh rays. He put a hand over his forehead in an attempt to protect his eyes from the sky demon. Just as he was about begin thinking of better ways to get out of wherever the hell he was, a hole opened in the air up a few yards in front of him. Standing on the other side was Sakura, standing behind a kneeling Obito.
"Sasuke-kun! Over here!"

Sasuke had never been so excited to hear his name spill from her lips. He began running towards the portal as quick as he could. With each passing second, however, the portal grew smaller and smaller. His eyes connected with determined glass-green ones. He ran faster, thinking of other ways to get the portal at a faster rate. Suddenly, he remembered the tactic he'd been working on. Their eyes locked once again as the portal slipped to a close.
Sakura's face fell.
"I failed… Sasuke-kun didn't—"

Her feet gave out from underneath her, and she suddenly she was falling falling falling. Sakura wasn't prepared to feel a strong arm wrap around her to catch her. She opened her tired eyes and gazed into red and purple ones.

"Sasuke-kun?"

"How did you manage that?" an out of breath Obito asked Sasuke.

"I can swap places in an instant from certain distances. It's something I've been working on, though it usually has a limit to how far I can go."

Sakura relaxed in Sasuke's embrace.
"But thanks to you, I made it."

Sakura felt her lips curl upwards into an almost smile, and her eyes slid shut from exhaustion.

"You've earned a rest, Sakura." Sasuke said quietly.

A/N: so this happened. And I'm so fucking happy and I can't even begin to express my emotions I am figuratively crying but literally fist pumping. Why do fictional characters have such an effect on me? I probably need a life lmfao.

As for Brush with the Law, I'll probably try to get that updated this week. Please beat with me, my darlings. ;c Thank you for your patience. I love you guys. ~
