Every after summer vacation ever since she became friends with Naruto Uzumaki, he'd always come back with tales from his great escape to Oto.
He'd talk (brag) how he went skiing, snowboarding, ice skating on a frozen (and probably unstable) lake blah blah blah with this friend of his he always referred to as 'Teme,' while she just sat next to him, listening to his adventures with a mixture of amazement and envy.
Living in a snowless state and having been nowhere beyond the borders of Konoha, Sakura Haruno had always been jealous of how Naruto got to see and experience snow every year of his life.
Call her childish but seeing snow and experiencing its phenomena was at the Top 5 of her ever growing bucket list since she could remember.
—one day, Sakura-chan, I'll take you to Oto...
Naruto had told that to her years ago but it wasn't until this year that finally kept his promise, wasn't until 'that' happened, wasn't until she needed an escape. In a way, that unfortunate drama after spring break brought something positive in her life after all.
She just wasn't sure if the snow she had always dreamed of seeing was worth the heartbreak.
Because it hurts and the pain doesn't seem to be going away any soon.
A cold sensation that had struck her square on the face made her gasp, her thoughts getting pulled back to the present. Turning she found Sasuke Uchiha, learning against a tree, with a smirk on his (handsome) face and another ball of snow in his left hand.
Sasuke Uchiha. The Teme Naruto had always talked about and appeared to be somewhat of an asshole in his narrations but turned out alright in person. But then again she wasn't really surprised; after all it wasn't lost on her that her childhood best friend had the tendency to exaggerate all of the time.
And then again, Sasuke Uchiha was a guy.
And when she sees one nowadays, she sees a heartbreaker.
tbc.
notes: just a friendly reminder that this fic is a drabble fic. and so expect short chapters. as for slow updates, i apologise. there's nothing really i could do about it, sophomore year just started and i'm ultimately frazzled. not to mention, i have other fics i'm drafting and editing.
nevertheless, i appreciate all the reviews and support i'm getting in this fic so thank you so much! and have an amazingly awesome day ;)
oh and lastly, the chapter titles are actually song titles. :) last chapter was taylor swift's you belong with me and this one is demi lovato's latest single, heart attack—which summarises the state of sakura's heart and thoughts. ;)
