Some things are easier said in the dark. Promises that are simple to keep and ones that are doomed to be broken. Truths and desires that Sasuke can't admit during the day, but at night, in Sakura's bed, it's a different story.
I want you.
I need you.
Let me have you.
Let me keep you.
I love you.
In the shadows, these things are possible to say. Secrets he can breathe life into, as long as the lights are out.
Sakura only asks for one thing in return: Stay with me. Just stay. Please.
Maybe he can, and maybe he can't, but Sasuke says yes regardless and hopes that this promise will unfold into one he can keep.
