Title: On Your Doorstep
Rating: K
Prompt: Alien
Summary: Sakura wonders if she was abducted and experimented on.
Sakura's first instinct could have been to grab her neck at remembrance of a bad meeting and hide back in her apartment after slamming her door shut. Instead, she thought, "Aliens must have abducted me last night and messed with my head because that can't be Uchiha Sasuke in front of me."
But, he was standing in front of her, at her door, in Konoha, and without an intent to murder her. She couldn't dwell on the possibility of an alien abduction when Sasuke was standing right in front of her. with a look that almost broke her heart. What she saw in his eyes, instead of hate, was a meaningful stare full of insecurities he wasn't hiding. The look was akin to sadness and asking for an apology he knew was long over due, but he just couldn't say the words. Sakura extended her hand to him and gripped his upper arm - an assurance to him and herself - and managed a small smile.
"Welcome home," Sakura said quietly.
Sasuke's entire form changed all at once. She hadn't noticed how rigidly he had been standing until all of his rigidness left him with one loud exhale. He had relaxed in front of her, and Sakura knew, even though he couldn't say his apology aloud yet, the fact that he let his guard down in front of and came willingly to her door was his own way of apologizing, and that was enough for Sakura.
Just a short drabble. From the masquerade challenge on sasusakuprompts.
