Author's Notes: SasuSaku from Tenten's POV.
Haze
It was one of those afternoons you see through a haze, a fog of beautiful memories that tinge everything with an otherworldly caress. I know because I have those memories too, but on this particular day I was watching it happen to someone else, wondering if they would look back with a smile or with tears.
I was sitting under a tree sharpening a new kunai I had developed, totally absorbed in my task when I heard someone humming. I was surprised because I thought I had been alone and I was usually very aware of these things. Glancing around I noticed two figures in the grass not far away, oblivious to the person under the blurred shadows of a nearby tree gazing at them.
It was Sakura who was humming, some odd tune that seemed to childish to suit her. Or maybe it was too childish to suit me, I'm not sure. All I can remember for sure is my immense surprise at realizing that the Uchiha genius, Sasuke, was lying in the grass beside her, apparently asleep, one arm tucked under his head, the other stretched out in Sakura's direction.
Something about that scene drew me. They weren't even touching and Sakura wasn't even looking at him, but I could tell that they were together, occupying the same space despite their distance. It was… comforting to see them that way. I was looking at something everyone had thought impossible and yet, here they were, enjoying a lazy afternoon and perhaps an invisible something more.
Smiles, I thought to myself. They would remember it with a smile.
The End.
