Nightmare

"Again?" Sasuke wrapped his arms around Sakura as he plopped down on the couch beside her. "I'm not dead. You don't need to come over here each time you have that nightmare."

She looked up at him. "You don't understand."

"You feel safer here, right?" He tightened his hold. "I know. The nightmares can't affect you when someone else is there."

"So that's why you keep asking me to move in." Sakura gave a small smile. "I guess I can't really say no now I know why. What are yours about?"

Sasuke grimaced, remembering the images that crowded his dreams. "I see them. The ones I have killed. Coming after me, covered in blood, screaming. And I can't fight them. I'm powerless."

Sakura just reached up and wrapped her arms around Sasuke's neck.

Apart they were scarred and flawed and fractured, but together their world seemed a little brighter.

I'M SORRY OK?! Uni got in the way!
