Hisashiburi da ne minna?!
For those of you that don't watch subbed anime, the above sentence just means 'it's been a while, hey?' or something like that xD I'm not Japanese so I wouldn't know, but the subs are written like that. Recently, my friend introduced me to Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, so I've been hooked. I know that it's a really old anime, but whatevs. Plus, I've had writer's block and school, resulting in the delay of this drabble. But it's here now :)
Title: wintry
Summary: Sasuke and Sakura leave the house after Sasuke and Kizashi talk.

P.S- I don't know why I named this drabble wintry. I guess it sounded cool, lmao
ENJOY! I COMMAND YOU TO! :P
wintry (adj.) : characteristic of winter, especially in looking very cold and bleak
Sakura stomped out of her parent's apartment angrily; you could practically see the steam coming out of her ears in the cold night. She was dragging Sasuke along with her, grasping his wrist painfully as she strode away from her house. Sasuke looked back at the softly lit window of her home almost worriedly, then looked back at the fuming medic in front of him.
"Don't you think you were a bit harsh, Sakura?" he inquired, tugging on her hand for attention, causing her to slow down and walk by his side. She looked back to her distant apartment, still glaring heatedly. As the distance between her and her father increased, she dropped her stony mask. She sighed, leaning her head against Sasuke's muscled arm. He looked down at her weary countenance and squeezed her hand supportively, dropping a kiss on top of her fragrant pink locks.
"I guess so." she muttered, burying her freezing face deeper into Sasuke's warmer jacket sleeve and drawing her scarf higher around her neck to protect her from the biting cold. Sasuke led her to the park, as it was relatively empty in the crisp night, all children safe and warm inside their houses. Sakura let go of his hand and sat down on a wooden park bench. Following her actions, Sasuke seated himself beside the glum kunoichi, putting a comforting arm around her shoulders.
She leaned into his warm chest, resting her head on his collarbone. His rhythmic thumping of his heart loosened her a bit. "Otou-san can be such an idiot at times." she muttered, glaring down at a chip in her sea foam green nail polish. Feeling a set of eyes on he, she looked back up at Sasuke. He was staring blankly at her, a hint of disapproval in his onyx eyes because of the comment about her father. She snorted lightly and hit his chest softly.
"Oh, please. If your Dad made fun of you and me, you'd be mad at him too."
Sasuke smirked. "My dad never made jokes." he said, looking down into sarcastic green eyes.
"Runs in the family then." Sasuke glared half-heartedly at Sakura and she stuck out her tongue at him. Over the entire course of the time Sasuke had been in Konoha after the war, roughly one year, he had learned to let his family issues go. It had certainly taken a lot of time, but Sasuke had finally opened up to her, Naruto and Kakashi.
Sakura laid her head down on Sasuke's chest once again, taking in a deep breath of fresh, brumal air. She felt something soft land on her closed lashes, melting away as soon as it touched the thick cluster of cilium. Opening bright, curious viridian eyes, she watched as a big white particle floated down and landed on the tip of her nose. Pink lips and perfect teeth broke out into a wide smile as she lifted her head off her boyfriend's chest, ignoring Sasuke's questioning look.
Laughing, the roseate-haired girl twirled around and around in the slowly falling snow, relishing the feeling of the soft powder that got caught in her eyelashes and melted into liquid on her pink tinted cheeks. Opening closed viridian eyes, she stopped her twirling and turned back to the onyx-eyed boy still seated on the park bench. She held out her hand to him.
"It's snowing! Finally snowing Sasuke-kun!" she exclaimed as Sasuke took her hand and got up slowly. He smirked. "I can see that Sakura." he drawled lazily, lifting up a hand to tussle his raven locks exasperatedly. Suddenly, as if driven by an epiphany, Sasuke grabbed Sakura's hand and bolted past the bench. His strong strides kicked up quite a bit of the white on the ground, spraying the cold substance everywhere as he ran down the cobblestoned path, towing a protesting Sakura along behind him.
He eventually stopped and Sakura crashed into his back, leading to both of the young ninja to fall into the cold drifts of snow on the ground. Luckily for Sakura, she fell onto Sasuke's warm back, while the poor onyx eyed boy had got a face full of snow. Jumping off of her boyfriend's back, she dusted herself off while Sasuke shook his wet hair like a dog, trying to get the snow out of tussled raven locks. Placing her hands on her hips, she glared at Sasuke.
"What was that for Sasuke?" she asked, trying to hold her glare in place, her mouth uncontrollably twitching into an amused grin. Sasuke's eyebrows were partially white from snow stuck in them. Failing miserably at maintaining an angry facade, Sakura giggled as she approached the Uchiha, lifting her hands and dusting away the white powder coating his defined black brows. He jerked his head away slightly, and pointed to something behind her.
Turning around, Sakura was greeted with a beautiful picturesque scene.
The lake in the middle of the park had frozen over, a thin layer of semitransparent frost covering the freezing water. The blue layer of ice on the lake was reflecting the big, white moon in the sky, causing bright streaks of light and dark shadows on the frozen surface of the water. Almost bare sakura trees lined the far shore of the lake, small pink petals were littered inconsistently across the ice. A petal drifted down in front of her and she tilted her head upwards. They were standing underneath a sakura tree, just a few remaining pink flowers adorned its branches.
She gasped softly as she stared out at the blue, white and grey scenic view, slowly edging her way to the trunk of the sakura tree, resting a hand against the rough bark, stroking the tough surface. As she over her hand absentmindedly over the bark, still staring out at the lake, she encountered a smooth engraving. Surprised she turned her head back to the trunk, her hand running softly over the carving.
Her eyes watered as she realised why Sasuke had brought her here. Beneath her fingers, both her and Sasuke's name were carved neatly onto the dark textured material, cutting light lines into the dark brown. Sasuke's hand covered her own that was resting limply at her side, another arm looping around her stomach and gripping her tightly to him. Sakura turned around to look into almost nervous onyx eyes. She almost giggled at the tentativeness on the Uchiha's face as he brushed his thumb repeatedly against the back of her hand.
At this very spot, a few months ago, Sasuke had asked Sakura out, nervous, stuttering and blushing. Sakura would have teased him about it, but she didn't fare any better, turning beet red with Sasuke's proposal. A few weeks later, Sasuke had finally admitted he loved her, albeit to Naruto rather than herself. But Naruto, being the loudmouth he was, spilled everything to Sakura. That was the best day of her life, along with one of the days where she was at her angriest. She was angry that Sasuke had to tell someone else rather than her that he loved her.
Storming all over the village, she finally found Sasuke underneath their tree, kunai in hand and scrunching his eyes, Sharingan activated. Curiosity took over Sakura and she walked over to her boyfriend's side. Her eyes softened and teared up at their names carved together impeccably on the tree. Sasuke met her watery eyes, red covered with black tomoes fading to onyx. She lightly bonked him on the head, asking him why he hadn't told her first about his confession.
"Every person to whom I've said I love you has died Sakura. I don't want to lose you too." She kissed him fiercely after his confession, tears streaming down her face.
She smiled, remembering that day vividly. She placed a chaste kiss on Sasuke's lips, sighing as he turned her around and ran a hand through her pink locks. Opening her eyes, she was met with soft and unusually vulnerable onyx pools. He pulled back, running a hand nervously through his bangs.
"I didn't know what to get you for today, so I thought this would be good." Her eyebrows pulled together. Today wasn't an important day, as far as she was concerned.
"What are you talking about, Sasuke-kun?" This time he frowned.
"Ino told me that girls look forward to a six month anniversary gift and date."
Sakura giggled, amused with Sasuke's naiveness when it came to pleasing her. She bopped a finger on his nose and planted another kiss on his lips.
"It doesn't matter to me Sasuke-kun. As long as I have you, I don't need anything else."
His eyes softened as he bent down to nuzzle her neck. She put her arms around him, and leant against the tree trunk, gazing out contently into the starry night sky. She grinned, and nudged Sasuke slightly. He looked up inquiringly.
"What's my one-year anniversary gift?" He smirked.
"Right here." He took her hand and placed it over his heart. She pulled him in for another sweet, long kiss, smiling into their lip lock while running a hand through his raven locks.
Best six month anniversary ever.
I didn't like the ending tbh. So yeah, it's shitty, I admit it, but hey, I did my best...nope, can't even admit to that. So sorry, but I think I'll up my game with the next drabble. My newest oneshot, Demons, is still being edited, so the release date for that is pushed back. And yeah, that's it...
Until next time SS lovers!,
