She looked like the work of a master, he thought as he approached the cerise-haired woman who always held him utterly captivated.
It was in her long hair that danced in the breeze, it was in her soft lips that never failed to push away all his worries, it was in her lithe body that could crush boulders and soothe hearts up to the emerald eyes that were his reprieve- those same emerald eyes that were frowned in consternation at the rushing water.
"I will have you know that no matter how hard you stare, the water won't freeze over."
Sakura looked up from her musings on the old team 7 bridge. Her face broke into a wide smile at the approach of the man who was her salvation.
"Neji," she acknowledged enthusiastically. She gave him a chaste kiss on the lips and stepped back to smile at him brightly.
"What were you thinking about?"
Sakura tensed slightly at the accusation in Neji's eyes which gave way to an apprehension that was deep-rooted. She saw it there, all in the space of ten seconds.
"Neji," she said softly as she took a step closer. It pained her to see him step back.
He gave her an almost incomprehensible sigh. It surprised Sakura to see the resignation overtake his quite cheerful arrival.
He stared at her-hard. He tried to memorize every line of that beloved face. He tried to fill himself with the sensation of her lips and her eyes and her skin. He tried to take her all in.
"I love you," he said firmly and his eyes softened.
"I know."
"Sasuke's back."
Her eyes widened a fraction and suddenly, her lungs seemed constricted and her breaths came in short, shallow gasps. She took a step forward- to run perhaps and he saw the wild question in her eyes.
But she stopped herself and brought a shaking hand to the smooth plane of Neji's cheek.
Neji smiled brokenly.
"He asked for you."
Sakura grew rigid for a second. Neji reached up to take the hand perched so lovingly on his face and kissed it.
"You were never really mine."
"Neji, don't say that," she retorted with a frown.
But she was and he knew it from the start- that he loved another man's girl. He just didn't know it hurt too much when he had to let her go.
"You should go."
She looked at his deep eyes and acknowledged the fact that he was right.
But will I hurt you? Should I…even if you tell me to?
"Why?"
That simple question surprisingly was met with a simple answer.
"I will show you that like my sight, my love is boundless."
She gives out an audible gasp but before she can think, he grasped her shoulders and turned her around.
"Go. Don't look back," he whispered and gave her a light push.
It took her a second to register his words.
And she broke into a run.
It wasn't that easy, I was just that smitten.
