Everything's as It Should Be

(9/4/2014)

Sakura's happy, so very happy that Naruto's finally noticed what he's had in front of him all along, she drops her gaze to the ground as their lips meet feeling intrusive. She's happy things are as they should have been all along, Naruto's eyes should have always been for Hinata, but she envies the magic they're in.

She wants it too.

She turns her head to the side to sneak a look in Sasuke's direction but when she does she sees he's looking right at her. He doesn't avert his gaze and instead his stare seems to intensify.

She doesn't back away either, she wants to get lost in his eyes, his expression may be able to hide everything but his eyes tell her everything and all at once. She thinks she could drown in them, she could spend her whole life trying to decipher everything that lies in them and even then it wouldn't be enough.

She wonders what he's thinking, what he's feeling, but most of all what seems to capture his gaze so intently. It couldn't be her, could it?

"Sakura." He whispers her name, as if it were a secret, and the way the syllables form on his lips makes her heart skip a beat.

"Sasuke." She answers, automatically, loving the feel of his name on her tongue.

For a moment neither speak and Sasuke seems to be looking for the right words to say, probably words that don't say too little and words that don't say too much.

"I've realized I can't break bonds so easily, there are things that shouldn't have happened, lines I shouldn't have crossed. Those things will never be undone…but I hope you can forgive me one day." She could hear the sincerity in his words, she could see it in his eyes.

"I already forgave you." His eyes widened and his lips parted in surprise. "I also crossed a line I shouldn't have then, I wanted to save you so much, and I thought killing you was the only way. When it came down to it though…I couldn't bring myself to do it." Admitting it out loud made it more real.

"I know…" He took a step forward. "Somehow you're always there trying to drag me out of the darkness." He reached out and took her hand in his, he intertwined his fingers with hers and she couldn't help but observe how it fit perfectly. Almost as if her hand was made to fit his and his to fit hers.

This was where they belonged. Together, and by the look on his face he knew it too.

"Thank you." He spoke in a soft murmur and the meaning behind his words was something she now understood. It was all in his eyes as it always had been. She could read it now and she hoped he could read the reply in hers.

This was their type of magic; silent but loud, little but more.

But it was better than magic, it was real.

a/n: I made an NH version of this which you can only find one tumblr for those interested.

Sorry I've been gone for a while but life, work, and classes got in the way and yeah. Plus I feel as if I'm writing for nobody here. -.-' Just maybe 1 or 2 persons.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy and if it's not much torouble leave me a review and motivate me to actually post stuff here.
Have a good day.
