"S-Sasuke....."

Tears began to roll down my face. Voices were muffled in the background.

"That was unnecessary..." Mirai uttered sighing.

Why?

Why would you go this far for me?

Is it because of past guilt?

Why sasuke....?

My lower body trembled, as I tried coming back into reality, though I kept staring into the distance.

My heart continued pounding in my ears as I begin taking small steps in his direction.

"I'll never leave your side, (y/n). I'll protect you from the bad guys"

"Sasuke...."

"I hope the pain eases soon.."

"Because you and I share Tsuyoi Kizuna..."

"You see the problem is that even if you tell me that you don't need me or hate me, I will still end up being there for you."

"Will you be able to forgive me by the time I return?"

"Sasuke!!!"

His eyes met mine.

And the next thing I know was...

I felt his hand on my hip, pulling me closer to him.

An unexpected warmth spread within, belly flipped, like how it feels to ride a rollercoaster when it takes a sudden dip. The pit of my belly sort of somersaults and my breath also hitches.

He pulls me closer to his chest and I can feel his heartbeat slowly accelerate.

I had felt his touch a thousand times in my dreams, and now I couldn't stand its reality.

I roughly clench his cape, not wanting to let go of his warmth.

He smelled like the winter wind and cold steel.

"What took you so long...?" I whispered.

Biting chills within that infirmary and this village...

And the gloom that seeps from these stone walls...

Thump

All of it is been replaced with the sound of his heart and the warmth of his body..

Thump

I can no longer deny it...

Before I knew it... You had filled my hallow world.....

Thump

And this empty soul of mine...

I don't want to let go of this warm feeling...

"I'm sorry. If I had known you were imprisoned sooner. I would've burned this village down to rescue you. Naruto forced me to wait."

With a yearning expression, he gazed at me.

His touch helped me forget the pain.
