❦Somewhere I Belong

Love Like Winter
Somewhere I Belong

She watched how the white rays of the moon revealed Uchiha Sasuke’s handsome features. Even in asleep he never lowered his guard completely, always waking at the slightest noise, ready to attack anyone who disturb his rest. When they first became lovers, Sakura had more then once ended up against wall or on the ground with Sasuke’s hand warped tightly around her throat, chocking the life out her and his finger clawing… nails biting into the tender skin of her neck. It had taken him a year to get used to her presence at his side while he slumbered. She couldn’t help but blame Uchiha Itachi’s foolishness for this quirk of his.

But Sasuke does not talk about his past or horrors of his past that still hunt his dreams. They are sealed away and buried underneath a well crafted facade of arrogance and anger. All that is left is the heir of a long-lost clan, a handsome and awe-inspiring young man, yet he is completely unpredictable because of how mercurial as his moods are. A cold and cruel shinobi with a conscience that appears almost nonexistent these days. His stoic expression has been carved permanently onto his face, not daring to reveal any other emotion or any indication that he possesses the ability to really feel.

So desperately Sasuke tried to hide his fears from her, hiding his churning emotions from not only my eyes but also from the rest of our team. They like she had learned to decipher the Uchiha’s reactions and mannerisms, and we know what lies deep inside within his scarred heart and see the little boy who’s heart was brutally torn by betrayal.
