Begin Again

"If you could be anywhere in the world at this very moment, where would it be?" Sakura couldn't help her mind drifting off to that day. One of her most cherished days of the entire year. She could choose any place, multitudes of foreign countries. But instead, all that comes to mind are his arms, cuddled together in a hammock on a cold spring day. AU. Series of drabbles!

4. Why

Sender: Haruno Sakura

Receiver: Uchiha Itachi-kun

Body: Good morning handsome :) Have a good day at work!

It was a morning ritual to send something sweet on the days they had work. Just like it was a ritual to send a goodnight text every night before a work day as they both turned in early.

Sender: Uchiha Itachi-kun

Receiver: Haruno Sakura

Body: Good morning Sakura. What specifically is it that you like about me? (don't ask the same question back :P)

Sakura blinked twice upon reading his text. And then she blinked again for good measure. Her cheeks heated and her face was tinged a light pink shade. Crowds of thoughts ran through her mind. Him smirking slightly at her, then him smiling widely. Him acting silly and teasing her, calling her amusing little nicknames- getting funny nicknames in return: Rotisserie chicken, middle schooler, unicorn, Elmo- all with silly little backstories to them all.

She thought back to a previous boyfriend, her brow narrowing in irritation for a few seconds as her passed her mind, her most recent ex. A controlling guy who refused to meet her friends. A smile grew larger on her face, Itachi actually made an effort to know her friends.

It was new to her.

All of it was new to her. A serious relationship that was temporarily long-distance for the fourteen weeks of summer. A guy she couldn't imagine losing. It was all new waters to navigate.

Body: Grr, not even after I answer it? :P And it's a lot of things to be honest, I like how when we went on walks we'd talk about so much, I enjoyed the way you thought. I like how you can be silly, how you actually made an effort to know my friends. I like your smile, a lot :P I like your quirk with matching boxers and socks. I like your flippy hair when you first wake up :3 I like how much you care for your brother.

She giggled. Oh how his super-straight hair had cute little rebellions in the way of flips when he woke up. She would admit, she enjoyed making them worse. And he was so intelligent. It was refreshing to have a guy who didn't view her as lesser, or stupid, simply because of her appearance.

And it all made her fall for him, begin.

Body: Oh :) just wondering, I don't think I've asked ever

Five out of fourteen weeks to go.
