Alright, this is a little challenge I heard about on LiveJournal. The idea is to pick a pairing, character or fandom of your choice... pick a song, play it... and while the song is playing, you write a drabble. Once the song is over you stop. No lingering. I decided to try it.
Title: Loneliness
Pairing: KakaSaku, SasuSaku
Song: "The Loneliness" by Babyface

Loneliness
I wish that she would tell me how she feels.
There's something in her eyes that screams every time I see her. Sakura is slowly dying.
Her emerald eyes are watching me now, with nothing more than a look of resigned defeat.
She lies next to me, her every curve pressed into mine. I return her gaze and looking at her I realize I miss her.
Like she misses him.
I miss her bright smiles -bright even when they were a small curve of her lips-, her glowing eyes, her vaguely musical voice and laughter, even her rants against my tardiness and penchant for reading my books in public.
When this started, I knew what I was getting into. Her eyes only saw the boy she knew so many years ago.
And I kept going, confident that there was no chance that I would ever fall for her.
Hindsight is a bitch.
Sakura closes her eyes, blocking away the echoing scream that she repeatedly fails to hide from me.
She feels alone.
Lying next to her I belatedly realize that I feel the same.
With this stranger that used to be Sakura, I feel alone.
What do you think?
