he doesn't think he's scared of anything except happiness

Sasuke stared out at the rain through the compound window.

It was pouring. The rumble of thunder was loud in his ears as the sky lit with the crack of lightning.

Sakura had looked at him, just before she'd left.

It had been both the shortest and longest moment of his life, Sasuke thought, bemused. It had been too simple and too complex, and all she'd done was nodded, but somehow Sasuke thought that it—whatever it had been—had gone a long ways towards pasting them both back together.

She'd just looked at him, green eyes calm, and nodded.

Sasuke couldn't believe that she hadn't left before he'd woken up. It would have been easier on her.

(She'd hooked her legs around him and whispered I need you, I need you, why do I need you.)

But then, nothing worthwhile came easy.

Sasuke of all people knew that.

Baby steps, he thought, almost smiling, and went to get dressed.

He had a class to teach.
