TaraChan: Here's the first of my Seasons of Love Collection, featuring Naruto pairings such as SasuSaku, NaruHina, NejiTen, and ShikaIno!
Of course, this one is using the song, Seasons of Love, honoring the main title, also being used with a SasuSaku oneshot!
Disclaimer: I do not own Rent, or Naruto.
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty five thousand moments so dear,
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes,
How do you measure? Measure a year?
Sakura was intrigued by Broadway musical stars performing on the large, dimly lit stage dressed in clothing made for winter, when really it was late May, just when the summer heat begins to rise.
The pink haired lass neatly cupped her gloved hands onto her lap which was adorned by a simple black dress, politely listening to the lyrics of the song, while her onyx haired companion sat composedly next to her.
The tickets to the musical were given as a first-anniversary gift by her mother and father, who always believed that their daughter was born to be among the noble men and women who would watch such plays and operas dressed in fine gowns and crisp, clean suits.
Though Sakura was beginning to wonder if her parents even checked what kind of musical they even picked out…
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights in cups of coffee,
In inches, in miles in laughter in strife.
In, five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes,
How do you measure, a year in the life?
Sakura couldn't help but close her eyes to the smooth sound of the music in the background. She was beginning to realize that this song was faintly reflecting her marriage with the man she's loved since her pre-teen days.
He, of course, cared for her as well. He had grown from being cold hearted and distant, to becoming comfortable with himself, and his life. He was married to someone he cherished and loved, only expressing such feelings inside closed walls, and never in public.
Sakura knew that they both knew how to express love, and how to keep it in secret, but there was something else to it…
How about, love?
How about, love?
How about, love?
Measure in love.
Seasons of, Love.
Sakura ignored the fact that the song was reading her mind. "How do you measure a year in the life?" Sakura simply smiled to herself and was even more pleased when she felt her husband's hand snake towards hers; lightly placing his large, strong hand over her feminine gloved one.
She knew that measuring a year could be done in hundreds of different ways, but measuring it by love made the most sense to her.
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty five thousand journeys to plan…
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes,
How do you measure the life of a woman or man?
In truths that she learned,
Or in times that he cried,
In bridges he burned,
Or the way that she died…
The pink haired maiden never doubted herself, or her companion. Even when he left for Orochimaru, she still cared, but of course, she had to be angry at him too.
When he proposed, Sakura knew fully that it was because he needed to rebuild the Uchiha clan. But she also knew just as well, that he was learning to care again, and he wanted to let her know, that he'd try his best with her.
It's time now,
To sing out,
Though the story never ends.
Let's celebrate, remember a year, in the life of friends!
Remember the love…
Remember the love…
Remember the love…
Measure in love.
Sakura knew, leaning her head against her companion's shoulder, with no complaints coming from him, that it takes just as long as to learn love…
Seasons of love…
…than it is to measure it…
Seasons of love…
TaraChan: I actually liked how this came out, it may be confusing, but I'll probably end up reading it over to make sure it makes SOME sense.
Review please!
