"Arashi-chan...do you think I'm crazy for this?"
"..."
"You're not very convincing..."
I sighed as I continued to rock Arashi back in forth in the rocking chair. Today was the day I get back to working within the tower.
And I'm dreading it.
It's the same feeling I got when I had to go back to work after familial leave was over. I remember it like it was yesterday, the dread and worry that I'm leaving too early... Yeah just like that.
"Arashi-chan, do you want me to leave?" He is blank expression changed into a smile and he began to giggle...which made me chuckle. "Yeah, me neither."
A knock on the wall interrupted the moment. "Naruto, it's almost time to leave." Sakura stepped out in her white robe rubbing her eyes. Her hair was a mess and there were visible bags under her eyes but somehow, she made it look cute. "Come on."
I sighed and looked back at Arashi. "We'll continue this conversation later." I got up and laid him back in his crib and kissed him goodbye. Sakura walked behind me and leaned on me.
"Hey."
"Hey." She sighed and wrapped her arms around me. "I know you don't want to leave but you have to go back to work."
"I just...don't want to miss out on anything anymore, you know?" I looked at a now peacefully sleeping Arashi. "Not anymore."
"It'll be okay, okay?" She turned me around and kissed me so sweetly. "I'll see you when you get back."
