Day 4: Lean On Me
.

You gave your all… but it obviously wasn't enough.
You failed, once again.
Disappointment… pain… everything hurts.
But nothing hurts more than your own heart right now.
All strength decided to leave your tired, overexerted body. The seal started to recede, and gravity pulls you down. As your eyes started to close, you expect the crumbly, hard ground to be your bed.
Only it didn't. For halfway before your fall, a wall caught your form.
No.
There was no wall. Only Sasuke.
Your Sasuke-kun.
He secured you to his warm body by placing a firm – yet oh so gentle – hand on your arm. With the last of your strength, you looked up to him.
Beautiful, mismatched orbs in all its glory, hypnotizing you… drowning you… drawing you in.
He looks at you intensely and you notice it is very much different than all the times your eyes locked with each other. No, there was something else in this contact. His eyes seem to search your soul… but it became a window to his own, for there were words never spoken – only felt.

Lean on me.

Here, close to him, eyes unable to look away, you understood his silence.
"How did you…?"
"This is my power. I can instantly swap places, appearing in a dimension far from myself. There's a limit to the distance but…
Thanks to you I made it."
You are unsure if the chakra depletion is making your mind cloudy and delusional, but you cannot deny a spark of something foreign in his orbs. Concern, perhaps? For a few precious seconds, it was only you and him in this time and dimension.
You smiled as you finally let yourself close your eyes. He held you closer and more than anything, you want time to stop – to make this moment last forever. Every fiber of your being knows that there is nowhere in this world you'd rather be than right here.

Safe in his arms.
Author's Note: It's late... and real life is making my writer's block worse. Oh well... another second person fanfic because I find it nice to write~
