Lies

"Look at me."

"Hn."

Ino sighed. "You know everyone is going to lie to you. You can't burn the world down because of that."

"…They turned my brother into a traitor… He was the hero." Sasuke admitted without looking at his lover.

"Your brother chose to be a martyr. He chose to live, lie, and die for Konoha alone."

"I don't stand by those ideals."

Ino touched his shoulder; she leaned into his body heat. "I know you don't, but I do."

"I know." He wrapped his hand over hers. "That's why you're mine."

He turned to kiss her lips.
