a/n: A one-shot that I actually like enough to post on its own. Only my second time writing SasuSaku, ever...so please, comments and suggestions are highly appreciated!
01. want me.
It has been years.
(But time is a relative thing.)
It has been years since he got a good look at her. Not that he'd ever placed her in his line of vision.
(Watch her back. Watch it.)
But now he sees. He sees.
(He possesses all-seeing eyes that blind him to reality.)
Soft skin and slender hands and high cheekbones and parted lips and sloped shoulders and firm calves and fine eyelashes andpinkpinkpinkpinkpink-
(Cold as he is, his blood is hot and he is alive.)
A tongue flickers out to dab at dry lips.
02. use me.
The storm rages outside but the level of electricity reigns free inside the dark mansion.
(There has to be light for shadows to form.)
They don't even make it to the futon.
(The wooden floors take a beating tonight.)
His name is a soundless whisper; her name cannot be heard.
(There is but one shadow.)
Even the rumbling thunder cannot mask the silent scream.
(Who is screaming?)
03. need me.
Her house has been neglected for a while.
(The plants wilt for her.)
They have become good at making it to the futon.
(His fingers are no less desperate.)
She rolls onto her side, completely spent.
(He doesn't turn away from her back.)
04. love me.
Her name is a harsh whisper from bruised lips.
(This is a first.)
She smiles.
(This is a first.)
His head rests within the crook of her neck.
(This is first.)
She speaks and he listens.
(This is a first.)
"What do you want from me?"
(Is the answer what she expects?)
"Nothing more than what you will offer."
(Oh good.)
