1. SasukeXSakura: The Cold Bench

Dedicated to Bab, the happiest person that I know.

Sakura,

I am going to content myself with looking at you from afar. Even if you're with someone else, at least I will be able to see you smile.

I will stay at the sidelines if it is the only way to make you happy.

You don't belong to my world – a world full of blood and vengeance. You're too pure for it. Leaving you at that cold bench is better than letting you come with me.

Live and continue to dream.

Sasuke

Sasuke,

First of all, I would like to tell you that you are the world's greatest JERK, you EMO!

Secondly, what the hell is that letter? And of all the places to leave it, why on that freaking bench?

Damn you.

I should hate you for being a jerk, for all those times you called me annoying, for all the pain that I feel (now and maybe forever. Why don't you do something about it?), for leaving me in a cold bench (Yes! I have to include that.) and for being an irresistible and (oh-so) hot shinobi.

Wait, I have one thing more to add to that list…

I should hate you for letting me fall in love with you.

I should hate you but I didn't. I can't. How can I hate the person I love the most?

And then that letter you so gracefully left in that c bc. You sound like a stalker, Sasuke-kun. What do you mean by contenting yourself with looking at me from afar? And when did you stay at the sidelines? And how am I supposed to feel happy with that?

I want you beside me, baka.

Tell me you're joking with me or else I'll castrate you.

You're telling me to move on.

Move on.

Move on?!

Damn you, for the second time…

Of all the things to include in your letter, you chose to include that one. You can at least start it of with a 'How are you?' or 'I'm going home in like, a few years.' or better yet a 'Wait for me sweetie.' instead of that!

Fine. I knew the last one is too much.

Anyway… Instead, you are telling me to move on, live and continue to dream. What if I tell you that you are one of my dreams? Huh?

Jerk.

It's too late. I've fallen so deep that I won't be able to bring myself out.

I love you and I will continue to love you forever and ever. Even if you're a jerk, an emo, a retard, a bastard or a traitor, I don't care. Even if everyone I see down the street says nasty things about me because of it, I don't give a damn.

I don't CWTS, okay? They could gossip about (you and) me for as long as they like. So come home as fast as you can.

I will wait for you with open arms and a 'tadaima'.

The annoying one (according to you),

Sakura

AN: Yeah… Weird fic. Meh.

Reasons why I started this anthology:

I have to get rid of all the plot bunnies in my head.

I have to put into good use the time allotted for one of my subjects.

oyasumiquincy challenged me into incorporating CWTS (it's actually one of our subjects… Stands for Civil Welfare Training Service) to one of my fics.

Fine, I know that the way I put CWTS here is so lame. Guess what CWTS here means…
