It shocks her to see him waiting for her around the corner of her street, cool and aloof, concealed by the shadows provided by the wall surrounding the Uzumaki's property.
And, really, it shouldn't. Because, of course he isn't going to listen to everyone's advice and leave her alone. Of course he is going to completely disregard her father's threats. Of course he's going to throw aside years of traditions (her family's traditions) in order to do what he wants.
And he wants her; that much is obvious.
He pushes off the wall when he sees her and waits for her to be at his side before he starts walking, following that well-known path towards school.
An orphaned boy, the last remaining Uchiha, a family better known for its dubious businesses and the black sheep of a son that killed them all, but he... Sasuke is different.
He is the brightest student Konoha Academy has had the privilege of having. The most talented student that excels in all of his classes, be it PE or Literature. And, surprisingly enough, it seems as if he doesn't even try.
But she knows he tries. He tries so damn hard to be the exact opposite of what everyone expected him to be. That’s why Headmaster Sarutobi accepted him into the school, giving him a scholarship and securing his place in high society.
He tries -triestriestries- to be better, to be good enough. For her.
Yet, her family does not approve of him.
He’s the orphaned child of a man who led his whole family right into the gates of hell, her father says, on each and every lecture he gives her. The orphaned brother of a murderer. He’s probably using her to get his claws on their money, her heritage; he doesn't care about her, she's just the mean to an end. And so on and on...
But her father is wrong, so very wrong.
Because there are girls in school, from more important and richer families than her own, that would drop her panties in a blink if he so much as looked their way. Girls with more connections that would fall happily into his trap, if he ever had one.
But he doesn't go after them, doesn't care about them. He doesn't need their families' influence because thanks to Headmaster Sarutobi and the Uzumakis he's making his own path, his own luck.
And he wants her and her only-just Sakura. Not the family name or the heritage. Just the girl.
She wants him too-just Sasuke. Not the bad boy he presents (though, that is certainly a plus), not the mysterious Uchiha orphan, not the brightest student. Just the boy.
And damn them all if they try to separate them, because... well because...
"Sakura."
His voice is deep and strong and succeeds in snapping her out of her musings. His coal-black eyes stare at her with an intensity that leaves her breathless, there are so many emotions raging in those eyes, so many feelings, fighting for dominance. But there's one that stood out, the strongest, the biggest, that manages to completely take her breath away. That feeling-that feeling is...
Oh, oh…
He grabs her hand suddenly, pulling her towards him until the bodies are touching-but-not-quite. He squeezes her hand firmly, stares into her eyes and speaks.
"Walk with me."
Oh, that.
