XIV. Another 1 to 20 Themes

1. Crash

He did not so much as fell but crashed in love with her. And he can't think of a better way to go.

2. Soft

He never understood how she constantly complains about them being too "big and bouncy" because he has never seen a perfect pair as hers.

3. Odds and Ends

She has a Hokage for a Daddy, an billion ryo inheritance from a renowned book franchise and a steady income for being a chuunin, so money shouldn't be an issue for her. What really irked him was how cheap she could be with everything she owns.

4. Fight

It never ends well for them.

5. Born

"Watch me! I'll make my own path!"

6. Breakable

His heart was made of ice—thin and cracked.

7. Belong

"Gotcha!"

8. Veneer

He hides centuries upon centuries of madness behind a cold handsome face. She hides an age-old natural disaster behind bright smiles and sweet laughter.

9. Goodbye

"The first time you left... you stuck an arm through my chest. Sorry but I think I'd rather keep you here with me."

10. Monster

"We all are."

11. Grave

Jiriaya might be turning in his grave with the things they've been up to.

12. I know

"How did you do that?" she asks, out of breath, "That was like... amazing. I'm not even mad."

He just gives her a lazy smile.

13. Sigh

He adores the small little sounds she make whenever he does this to her.

14. July

Times like these-wet and pouring-he'd rather be home, cuddling. He'd never admit it to anyone though. He's Uchiha-effing-Sasuke, bad-ass extraordinaire!

15. Morgue

"Let me out! Let me out! Let me out!"

16. Letters

"Daddy still reads them. When I was younger, he'd sometimes read them out-loud... so I'll know what kind of person she was."

17. Emblem

She was carrying the fate of the entire shinobi world on her shoulders. Just like the her father's white coat, over-sized for her smaller stature, she felt devastatingly overwhelmed.

18. Bone

He had not admitted this but the first time she broke her leg, he was silently freaked out as he watched her bone mend itself in mere hours.

19. Ring

"If he liked it then he should've put a ring on it..." she slurred.

20. Contentment

Though she can whip up simple everyday meals that are as bland as card board paper, her greatest culinary achievement lies on her ramen recipes.
