drabbles
I have actually finished all the drabbles but have decided that the ones without humor of some kind are not well received. Therefore, I culled the drabbles. I have 5 that I decided needed to be kicked to the curb. I might even add a 26th chapter for Tears. Not sure yet though.
That being said. I will post the version 1's to the journal so that I don't forget them in the reject folder on the computer.
Guilt
She lay in their bed, covers pulled to her chin. Get out of bed because she couldn't sleep or lay in bed brooding? When had they become more roommates than lovers? Sakura glanced at his peaceful face. It was attractive, she still loved him, so when did it become hard to snuggle up? Was it the stress of missions and long hours put in at the hospital? When did they fall into a rut without noticing?
The king-sized bed was huge, the gap between them the length of the Naruto Bridge. The barely-there light moved across Kakashi's cheek and she fought the urge to follow it with her fingers. He had been so tired when he walked in their house. The two week mission draining, She had pushed him into the bathroom, forced food down his throat and drug him to the bedroom. He was asleep before they had reached the bed. She missed him, but he needed sleep.
“Sakura, what are you thinking?” Kakashi's voice echoed in the silent room.
“I thought you were sleeping.”
“Can't when I feel your chakra all over the place.”
“I'll get up.” She slid her feet out of the blankets.
“No, just tell me what's wrong.”
“When...when did we stop snuggling? Why did we?” Sakura glanced at his face, confusion in her voice.
“In the summer, we were too hot.”
“But, it's winter now.”
“Are you cold?” Kakashi asked in concern.
“No, I added another blanket.”
“Ah.”
“I...feel like I have a roommate.”Sakura stared hard at the ceiling, hearing Kakashi turn his head to look at her.
“Come here.” She felt his hand graze her arm. Fingers curled and she was pulled into Kakashi's arms.
“I feel lost, restless.” Sakura mumbled into his collarbone. His arms tighten around her.
“What do you need?”
“I don't know, I could fix it if I did. What do you need?”
“You to work fewer hours and us to take fewer missions.”
“I could do that.”
“Get rid of the blanket, I'll keep you warm. The ugly pajamas too.”
“But I like them!”
“You don't need them. Give me a couple days and we can get away together?”
'That would be nice.” She snuggled up tighter, “and from now on, we do this whenever we get into bed?”
“I can do that.”
there was too much that needed to be said in this one to really be a drabble. No relationship is that easy and they are silted in some way that rubs at me wrong.
That being said. I will post the version 1's to the journal so that I don't forget them in the reject folder on the computer.
