Aki, Fuyu, Haru, Natsu | Sasuke Uchiha ♥ Story |

Fuyu 01

Author's Notes: In this chapter, Fuyu is turning 10, and Sasuke is 11. I *tried to portray Sasuke as not completely shut out, but not completely open either. I'm not sure if I succeeded in that though. 

Anyways, I hope you enjoy reading it~

p.s.

Koibito is a Japanese nickname couples use for their significant other. (: I always thought it was adorable.

Fuyu 01

“I can’t believe it’s been over a 2 years since it’s happened.” Chifuyu whispered as both she and her husband quietly slipped out Fuyu’s childish, lilac colored bedroom.

“I refuse to believe it happened on our daughter’s birthday.” Yukito responded, walking through the hallways of the Saatchi compound’s main house. 

“Do you think she remembers?” Chifuyu asked, slowly trailing behind her husband. 

He rubbed the temples of his head gently before shaking his head. “I don’t think it’s possible to ever forget that, Chifuyu.” he paused “Then, Sasuke’s a constant reminder.” 

“My heart aches the same way it did the day it happened. I’m constantly worrying about Sasuke, even if he claims he’s alright.” she responded as she gracefully took a seat on the windowsill. 

A few moments passed by without either saying a word as the both thought about the effects the event that took place November 7th, exactly a year ago, had on the young Uchiha. 

I still pray he won‘t become like Itachi. That would just…kill Fuyu. Chifuyu thought to herself, as she absentmindedly clutched her heart through her shirt. 

“He is an Uchiha after all.” Yukito voiced, just above a whisper “I think he’s more than capable of dealing with his feelings.” 

“That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have them.” Chifuyu countered. “To suddenly be alone like that, would devastate anyone, no matter what clan their from.” 

Yukito looked over at her with his honey colored eyes. “Every shinobi faces death-”

“Don’t, Yukito.” Chifuyu interrupted. “If myself or Fuyu died, you know for a fact you’d be devastated, much less a little boy.” 

Yukito sighed loudly. “Iruka commented on how he‘s slowly shutting people out.” 

“I can only imagine.” 

“Including Fuyu.” he added. “Even though she’s been his friend ever since it happened.” 

“There’s only so much she can do.” 

There’s no guarantee that a close friend can change fate. Chifuyu thought to herself. 

“Who would’ve known this would be affecting us this deeply.” 

Chifuyu sighed quietly, as she slowly shifted her gaze towards a wide window that allowed the winter sunlight to flood inside. She smiled lightly as she placed her palm lightly onto the chilled glass. “It’s snowing.” she whispered. “Fuyu loves snow.” 

Yukito looked over at his wife, carefully studying her features that he already knew so well. The same features that gave away any thought she was thinking, no matter how hard she tried to hide it. “Koibito.” he called lovingly, gaining her attention away from the snow “Do you remember the promise we made before we got married?” he asked, cupping her face lovingly.

A light blush formed on Chifuyu’s face. “How could I forget, Yukito?” 

“Do you also remember what we promised when Fuyu was born?”
