Day three old habits die hard
[A/n: making it up as I go along]
She didn't want him to leave again, she wished he'd stay. Yet she knew, deep down that he'd have to. She knew he would have to leave and go off someplace far, someplace she really wouldn't know. She might get a letter every once in a while she might not. It depended on him, on where he was, on how he was, on if he felt it was safe to write.
Sasuke really was very sentimental, you wouldn't know it by looking at him or seeing how he acted but he was. He kept every letter she had written to him, he knew she'd keep everyone he'd written to her, but he kept them all as well.
It was the night before he was going to leave again, after he'd tended to her making sure she was ok. Sarada was asleep down the hall but her parents were up not talking much but spending time with one another. They chatted about little things, he made promises he might not keep and she in turn accepted them as though he would.
They were lying next to one another, skin pressed to skin, after [well you know… rules state I can't write it but I can imply it]. She felt sad not wanting him to go. Not wanting him to leave. She wanted him to see what she would see from their child, she wanted him to see her go into the Chunin exams, see her pass them, see her have her first date (which would go over so well), first everything in her teenage years. She knew he didn't want to miss any of it either.
"You will come back right…" she whispered into the night slowly moving her gaze to meet his own. He let out a laugh, or for him what could be considered as such.
"Tch, so annoying." He chided though it was in jest, what used to be an insult had turned into a sign of affection. She nuzzled against his neck lightly her hands idly toying with his hair.
"That's not an answer…" she whispered in his ear and he shuddered slightly
"I will come back…" he kissed her head "I promise, and that I won't break…"
"Alive?" she asked and he laughed again
"Alive…"
"In one piece…" she smirked making a cheap shot at his prosthetic arm.
"In the same number of pieces I am in now…" he chided pinning her below him watching as her hair fanned out around her on the pillow beneath her head.
"Before her Chunin exams?"
"I'll try…" he kissed her neck
"Before she gets married…" he bit down to which she let out a breathless sound.
"I'll kill him…" he growled and continued his actions
"Let her be happy…"
"Only if he knows I'll kill him if he hurts her…" he stated simply and soon his actions were continuing elsewhere
[A/n: can't write this maybe I'll write a good smut scene later on in another drabble]
The next morning the family was at the gate Sakura smiling sadly watching him check his things one last time. He hugged Sarada gently telling her some words of affection or encouragement.
"Sakura…" he spoke and she looked at him with sadness in her eyes as he tapped two fingers to her forehead, "Thank you." She hugged him again before he slowly let go and started off again.
