Bleed
Series/Pairing: Naruto/Sasusaku
Summary: Often, she does not notice the cuts until it kills her.
She only sees the shattered remains of a well-polished wooden frame and a blood splattered photo of a team (family) she (he) once had in her hands.
He only sees the hovering blade, a merciful fang to deliver its venom to alleviate the suffering prey.
Impassively, she knows he waits.
It is predictable. She always was and will ever be.
Her words--always meaningless to him, she sobs---are cut short when a foot steps on that precious stilled memory.
Sasuke-kun, I still love you with all my hea--
And he leans on her ear from behind.
His words--always pierces her, he grimaces--ends it all.
Thank you.
Her arms wrap on his pale neck and she feels that the moon is crescent again.
