Sunlight snuck into the halls, illuminating the marble with an ethereal glow. The mornings rays seeped through the airy curtains of her dorm rooms windows. Sakura yawned and stretched, popping her back as she climbed out of her warm and inviting sheets. She glanced over at her roommate and smiled slightly, Ino and she didn't always get along but they were friends. And plus, Ino allowed her to have Itachi over occasionally. When it made more sense for them to stay in her dorm rather than his apartment.
Like last night.
Sakura stretched again, fully standing up now, and glanced lovingly at her bed partner. Itachi was curled around where her body had been, his mouth open slightly, and his hair shooting up in all directions across her pillows.
She walked over to the bathroom and cleaned herself up a little while her roommate and her boyfriend slept. She left the shared bathroom and stood beside her bed, smiling down at her still sleeping boyfriend.
The way his eyes moved underneath the pale lids.
How his breath kept blowing up a strand of hair.
His hand twitching, opening and closing.
And then darting out and pulling Sakura back into the bed.
"Itachi-kun!" Sakura whispered loudly.
Her only reply was a slight muffled groan as he pulled her back into him and then stilled and promptly lost all consciousness once more.
A lot played on her mind when they were together.
She couldn't lie; imagining them being together for forever was terrifying. She had her life all planned out, and then he popped out of nowhere, rushing to meet her in front of the elevator of their dorm last year just so he could speak to her for the first time. Forever was a long time, but thinking about it, she wouldn't mind spending it by his side.
Despite everything feeling right with him beside her, she was torn between her dreams and being with him. But more and more, things seemed to be falling into place. She found another way to use her degree, one without having to go overseas. One where she could form lasting relationships.
He smiled slightly in his sleep, his arms wrapped snuggly around her body. Oh how she loved his smile.
A soft smile fell on her face as she snuggled closer to the man who, honestly, she wouldn't mind waking up next to every day for the rest of her life.
These go in no particular order.
Thank you for reading! :)
I'll be updating this set of drabbles fairly often over the summer months.
