"It's alright Sasuke, just try to take a deep, normal breath."

He gasped, trying to slow down his body as he leaned over the damn sink, the only thing he could reach in time to empty his stomach. His lover on his side, holding his hair back and kissing his cheek, her lips never leaving his skin.

"I'm here, Sasuke."

He whimpered, tears escaping his eyes and flying down his cheeks. He cried and clutched the sink harder.

"Sasuke..."

He couldn't open his eyes, they were so heavy. He felt her clean his mouth with a wet, cold washcloth, pulling back for a moment to cool his forehead. She put the washcloth on the sink and grabbed his face between her hands, gently placing her lips onto his. He sobbed, his entire form shaking, and he briefly wondered why she was still here with him, why she was kissing him after he'd just thrown up.

"I love you, Sasuke."

He buried his face into her neck, his breath coming out in harsh pants, his closed eyes covered by the skin of her neck.

"Don't...d-don't leave me..."
"Never. I'll never leave you."

She spoke in a soft whisper, he knew that it was exactly what he needed. How she always seemed to know his mind perfectly, he would never know.

"I-I! L-love you!"

He cried into her freely as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, rubbing his back with one hand comfortingly. He wound his arms around her waist and held her tightly to himself.

"I know, Sasuke. I love you too. More than anything..."
"S-Sakura..."

She smiled and nuzzled against him.

"Do you want to try and lay down again, Sasuke?"
"...Only i-if you're w-with m-me..."

He would have smiled in his right mind when she nodded, but all he could do was continue to let the tears fall. He could cry with her, he could feel with her. For once, he wasn't thinking about Fugaku, Mikoto, or even Itachi, Uchiha. The clan was unimportant. It was a family now. Just him.

"Of course."

She helped him walk with shaky steps to the bed, both falling onto the messed up sheets and tangled up in each other.

"I'm here Sasuke. I always will be."

He knew she was telling the truth.
