Fandom: Naruto
Pairing: Sasuke x Sakura, hints of Sasuke x Naruto and Neji x Sakura (O.o;;)
Rating: PG-13, T
Disclaimer: Naruto, and its characters, doesn't belong to me.
Summary: I'll never forget that I once held you in my arms, Sasuke-kun.
Warnings: Erm, Sakura-angst.
Every night, I hold the picture of Team Seven close to my heart. It's a sad attempt though, since I, as well as everybody else, know fully well that I only want to keep one person close to my heart.
Every night, I let tears fall, because I couldn't do that during the day, not when Tsunade-sama could reproach me, not when Naruto can try to comfort me, not when Kakashi-sensei can offer me some cryptic advice, not when Ino-pig can taunt me for my indelible weakness.
Every night, I try to forget about him, bit by bit, for me to be able to move on. Once, Neji has talked to me, while I was treating his wounds. He said that forgetting isn't an all-at-once thing. He said that it's a gradual process, which begins with letting go of a person piece-by-agonizing-piece.
I took his advice, but how long would it take? I'm trying to forget Sasuke-kun for almost three years already, almost complete three years spent with my eyes exhausting of tears, of my heart breaking into numerous pieces?
I envy Naruto, because he didn't try to forget Sasuke-kun. But that's okay, right? It's like one of those unwritten, unspoken, but still understood rules of the world. Naruto would never forget Sasuke-kun. Never, never, never.
I let go of Sasuke-kun's memories, from his arrogant stance, from his deep voice, from his obsidian eyes, from his luscious lips, from his chiseled cheekbone…
But there's one thing that I'll never forget, even though it means that I wouldn't be able to finish my healing.
I'll never forget that I once held you in my arms, Sasuke-kun.
OWARI
I guess people can say that I sympathize with Sakura, no matter how slight-because duh, I am also a girl with the same feelings and such XD This is like a peace offering to her, since I always bash her in my other fics XD
Last line refers to Sakura holding curse-seal-Sasuke; the Neji x Sakura hint was… erm, O.o;; spontaneous.
Feedback, please! :D
