Good morning, Sasuke-kun!
Would you like to come to breakfast with me?

ic inboxes are literally my favourite thing

[sharingan]

[ he was actually sleeping when he got this, surprise to everyone. but it wakes him up regardless. ]

Good morning.
Is Naruto with you?

mine too omf

[haruno]

Not presently, no.

[ She just

omits the information that Naruto is going to breakfast as well. ]

[ Sakura is convinced he likely isn't awake yet, that she'll be intruding and inconveniencing him. but she had already told Naruto, and-

and she hadn't really spoken at length to Sasuke after everything that happened. wishes she had made more time to, the way she made time for Naruto. but part of her will always wonder if she's still just in the background to him, no matter how many times she tries to prove herself worthy of whatever it is they share between the three of them.

spending as much time as she did watching the backs of her teammates, Sakura has been able to prove herself time and time again to her friends of her strength and determination. but Sasuke has been gone in their world, and she hasn't had the same chances in Death City to show that she's changed. that she isn't the girl who cries at the drop of a hat, that she can stand on her own two feet, that she can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them, the way she always wished she could. she wants Sasuke to see her, to really see her, and wonders that maybe she hasn't proven herself to him yet.

then again, Sasuke hasn't exactly ever been the most communicative person.

she sighs, shoulders slumping as she deflates a little.

her knock is soft, hesitant. a hope that he'll hear it if he's awake, and that if he isn't, it won't be loud enough to make him stir.

still, she waits, patient. ]

[sharingan]

[ he is, miraculously, in and also awake. he doesn't sleep easily, and the excitement of the last few days— it might exhaust most people, but it wires Sasuke up differently. makes him anxious.

he's halfway to shrugging out of his shirt when the knock comes, and Sasuke glances back toward the doorway, considering ignoring the knock.

it must be Sakura. Naruto is never so considerate.

he sets his katana aside, instead, and pulls the shirt back up his shoulder before making his way over. when he opens the door without expectancy. ]

[haruno]

[ Sakura's ready for morning training, which means she'll have to leave on the mission immediately once it's finished. but this-

talking to Sasuke takes precedence over that. but doesn't he always? don't both of them? Naruto and Sasuke have always been her first priority. once she was assigned her team, they were important. became the most important and precious when the chuunin exams began. there is no one, ever, in the entire existence of this universe or theirs, that has ever been as important as both the person in front of her, and the one that sleeps just down the hall.

her heart swells a bit at the sight of him.

because regardless of anything else, this is Sasuke. one of two people that make up her entire focus. ]

Good morning, Sasuke-kun. Do you have a few minutes? I know we have morning training soon.

(august 21| action)

[jutsu]

[ it's late afternoon, long after training has passed- but they have a few hours before their watch shift begins, so what the hell.

guess who learned to knock. ]

Oi, Sasuke.

hello new icon

[sharingan]

[ he sets his book down in his lap for a moment, staring at the door as though he can't quite figure out what the sound is connected with Naruto's voice.

weird. ]

Come in.

wow stalker

[jutsu]

[ even though sakura has always been a really polite roommate, the place still feels quiet without her around. sasuke's bedroom door swings open and naruto leans his head inside, weight resting against the door frame. ]

Are you busy?

( august 24th | afternoon | voice )

[haruno]

[ She's-

slightly unsure about this, but. ]

Sasuke-kun?

( august 24th | afternoon | voice )

[sharingan]

Hm?

( august 25th | evening | text )

[haruno]

[ she waits until all of them have gone their separate ways following the Watch shift, sends a text to Sasuke before she calls on Naruto. ]

I'm going to ask him what he plans to do when the war is over.

[haruno]

Sasuke-kun-
You have to meet me at Sara's place right now.
I'm sorry, but it doesn't matter what you're doing.

[sharingan]

[ the fear that strikes him is cold and horrible. it cinches Sasuke's chest and leaves something twisted in his stomach. he drops his knife on the counter, leaves the food scattered across the cutting board and turns on heel. it's lucky the stove wasn't on yet, because the only thing Sasuke stops for is to grab his sword on the way out the door.

he barrels by a number of civilians, all but shouldering someone in the building's entrance to the side to scale the stairs in sets of three. by the time he hits Saralegui's apartment, his breath is coming quickly, crossing the threshold with one hand on his sword. ]

Sara?

sept. 14 | ninjas never sleep

[jutsu]

I think Neji's lost it'ttebayo.

[sharingan]

Lost it?

( september 12th | night | action )

[haruno]

[ she's had trouble sleeping the last couple nights -- as though Saralegui's absence continues to pull at her. admittedly, after talking to both of them earlier about Cloud's departure hadn't helped the feeling; absences of partners, people leaving in pairs, it just reminds her that nothing here is permanent until the war is over and BREW is shut down.

initially had had intended to get tea and return to her room, but when light still came from beneath the crack of Sasuke's door, it was two cups in her hands rather than one. her knock is quiet, as always. at least for her and Sasuke, it was easy to know who was at their door -- only one of the other two knocked. (it was never Naruto.) ]

[sharingan]

[ Sasuke doesn't sleep well to begin with, but the last few nights haven't been much better. Cloud and Sephiroth gone, Saralegui gone.

he's wide awake when Sakura knocks, and he straightens one leg, barefoot dangling off the bed. ]

Come in.
