"I only love it when you touch me, not feel me. When I'm fucked up that's the real me." -the hills --- cover: credits go to fanart owner, I found it on google images --- Sasuke has returned to Konoha in search of a blossom. A beauty who he missed and learned to admire over their years spent apart. A young girl whose innocence was so captivating, it took his breath away. Whose emotional, mental, and physical strength was in describable. But instead of finding the girl he once knew, in her place was a broken girl who forgot what love was. Who only embraced loneliness by surrounding herself by lost souls such as herself. Who only found warmth by immersing herself in half-assed love. He only found someone who was Numb. --- sort of au sasusaku, but not entirely. it's still. the ninja world, but the circumstances are really different. like it's a more urbanized ninja world, and...darker. (i'm a fan of the darker side of things ;) ) i got this idea from listening to the hills by the weeknd. since sakura is usually the one portrayed saving sasuke from loneliness, it thought I'd switch it around where sasuke was trying to save Sakura from loneliness. ooc sasuke and sakura, sort of. they're only ooc to match the main conflict of the story. lemon warning this could be a short collection of one-shots or short story or a long fan fic. so there's no telling of the length of this. enjoy :)
