A/N: I love SasuIno. But they're giving me all this angst-y feels right now T_T Plus I've always wanted to do an angst theme collection.

"You look happy."
"That's because I am." Ino smiled. It was a small one but still, it should count as a smile right? "You're happy as well, ne Sasuke-kun? After all, Sakura's a glowing expectant mother."
He finally looked straight at her. A hint of pride and fondness on his voice. "She is carrying an Uchiha heir after all."
"Yes, yes of course." She needs to go now. Her heart doesn't need to be broken again while she's still on the process of healing it. "I should go. Sai is waiting for me."
His hands instantly grasp her arm, preventing her to flee. "Should you? He can wait."
Ino smiled, genuine this time, at Sasuke's reaction. But she can't relish on that small hope. Grabbing the hand on her arms, she squeezed it before letting it go. "He can wait. He's been waiting all this time. But I can't. I need to go before I do something stupid."
"Ino - "
"Sasuke-kun. You are happy right?" She reminded him. She reminded herself.
Five heart-beats passed and still no answer. She needs to go. So she did. This time, he didn't stop her. And as she quickly made her way to meet the other man, she realized Sasuke didn't answer her as well the first time she asked him if he was happy.
