It's past midnight and Sakura eventually found a way on the roof. She lied down and silently watched the stars alone. 'I wonder if I'll ever watch the stars with someone one day.' She thought, taking in the beauty that the night sky gave her.

She stood into a defensive position when she heard footsteps making its way to her. She lowered her guard a little when she saw who it is. "Sasuke, what are you doing here?" She asked, lying down once again.

"Hn. I watch stars everynight." Sasuke said, looking way. "I guess not tonight, considering that it's occupied." He said, turning away. "Ne, Sasuke." Sakura said, still looking at the stars. Sasuke stopped on his heels and turned to her with an eyebrow raised. "Stay." She said. "Hn." Sasuke said, taking a sit beside her and looked at the stars as well.

Everything was silent until Sasuke decided to break it. "Why did you leave leaf?" Sasuke said monotonously. "I found a lie and a truth." Sakura plainly said. Sasuke gave her a confused look and turned back to the stars.

"Aren't they beautiful?" Sakura said, smiling a little as she stared at the stars. "Hn." Sasuke said. "You know. Just a few minutes ago I was wondering if I'll ever watch the stars with someone. And now here you are watching them with me." Sakura said, making Sasuke look at her. She gave him a grin and said "Thank you."

A few minutes of silence has passed. "I'm sorry for breaking your heart back then." Sasuke said, once again breaking the silence. He twitched when he heard a snore. 'I'm here apologizing to her sleeping form. How annoying.' Sasuke thought twitching. He put his cloak over her figure and smiled a little and turned back to the stars. "Thanks for watching them with me." He mumbled, lying down beside Sakura.
