title: a cavalcade
pairing: SasuSaku, naturally
summary: Your nomad's heart breeds wanderlust, and you have left a trail for me to follow.
notes: Taken from my tumblr, blanket-fictions, which has been hosting most of my recent fic. Painfully short drabble-fic. :) This is based on Sasuke's costume change, which is made of many parts. I laughed and raged and then I wrote. I had this up then took it down and wrote some more. Feedback is invaluable.
To You,
I think you should know that I am missing you again.
When we began this arrangement, I resigned myself to the notion that your heart and mine would never truly intersect. That the sounds of your breath in my ear, and my name on your lips would be payment in full for a lifetime together we would leave un-lived. That every dry season, the time I spent tracing the new lines on your face would, after a while, last me until our next embrace. That the ache that came with your leaving would grow duller with time.
I was foolish.
I am, still, when it comes to you.
I am told, that, despite my role in the last war, that a waiting is a woman's place—that it is men who roam listless, and travel with no particular destination. Women in love weave tapestries and welcome warriors home.
I have never been good at listening. But, I am in love with you.
Your nomad's heart breeds wanderlust, and you have left a trail for me to follow.
So, tonight, I am leaving.
Wherever you are, please remember:
I would have walked the length and breadth of three full moons to stand under the night sky with you.
And I will.
