The Unspoken Words
Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and this story is a figment of my imagination.
Sakura used to care too much. Where was he the night before? Why had he not returned by dawn? With whom he spent his time with? Why did he not call? The questions were endless; voices of her concern, her jealousy, and her mistrust.
Each time she opened her mouth, she dreaded the replies. He would always make her feel that way. She did not want to feel like she was invading his privacy yet she could not help to delve. In the end, the guilt ate up her conscience. She made her decision eight months into the relationship.
The night he came home at two in the morning and she did not question him anymore, she did not feel any better than before. At least, he returned, she consoled herself.

When she stopped interrogating his late nights' activities, Sasori felt relieved yet stressed. She had played this tactic before. He began to understand they were walking on thin lines. One wrong move and he would be dragged into another verbal war.
Yet, there was nothing he could do. He was not one to delve deep into an issue. Petty things like this were best left at the surface.
Her warm body stirred in her sleep. Sasori watched her make herself comfortable in his arms. Sometimes, too much of her gave him a headache.
