Day 30: Losing Hope
There are things you can only take notice of when you feel as if the end is coming, when you feel that hope is slowly beginning to fade into nothingness. You can feel it all around you; you can see it in the eyes of those who surround you.
Hope is no more.
The hope that filled the battlefield when the Hokages arrived was gone; the hope that filled Sasuke's eyes with the thought of protecting the village was fading. The desperation around you could be palpated; everyone was just waiting for the inevitable. There wasn't much time left.
You wanted to run over to Sasuke because this might be the last time you get the chance, but you see him with his former team. The team you're just a replacement of, you see hope in those green eyes that stare straight at him with so much love and affection.
But most of all you see how he stares back because those green eyes seem to be what is still holding him together, his last thread of hope.
You know your eyes are dull and void of any hope for a future, to you the future is long lost. But her eyes are still vibrant and green hoping for a tomorrow, hoping for their future, and you know that's what keeps him sane, that's what keeps him standing.
You envy that because he never had eyes for you and in the end it's her eyes that keep him moving forward. You want to run to them and claim what's rightfully yours, but in that moment you realize that it never was.
"There's still hope Sasuke, we can make it out of this."
You hear her speak from a distance as she stares into his eyes and he nods in response, hanging unto her every word. It's then that you see his onyx eyes and realize that the reason he could never be yours is because he was always hers.
