Drabble One: Habit
"Good moring, Imzuoz-kun and Kotetsu-kun!" Haruno Sakura, a pink-haired medic nin cheerfully greeted them and bounced toward the check-point at the front gates. They politely greeted her in response, returning her joyful smile.
"Waiting again, Sakura? Even on your day off." One the males asked and almost chuckled when he spotted a book in her hands. It was obvious what she was planning to do for the rest of this day.
She nodded, sending them that look (they should know by now) and relied. "Of course, I am. You guys should know that by now. Geez."
They laughed, holding their hands up in defence and merely watched as she made herself comfortable under a nearby tree, taking rest in the shade. They'd learnt from Naruto, the village's hero that they shouldn't pity her for her belief and have come to accept it. Instead, they've began cheering her on in secret and hoped for her sake that if she didn't get the happy ending she was looking for, that someone way better and deserving of the strong female walked her way. They didn't want to see her story end in tears.
They knew why though – why she came to the Leaf's gates every morning and every evening after work.
She was waiting for the man she loved to come home.
Uchiha Sasuke was a very lucky man, having a woman this devoted waiting for him.
They wished they had such devotion.
Everyone within the village believed that she should stop this, get away from this ugly habit she'd developed waiting for someone who won't come home or honour the unconditional love she continues to give him. Her time would be better spent on someone else whom would treat her better and wouldn't leave her waiting, crushing her heart every day. They knew though…it wasn't a habit or a waste of time; she was going to be here when he arrived and greet him with open arms. She was going to give him what he needed.
Her acceptance, her love thus the reason she always waited – it was a good habit.
