Sometimes, when Sakura is absolutely positive that they are asleep, she stays awake, relishing in the moment.
It’s a sort of blessing she cannot recount, tangled in the limbs of one and the embrace of the other. Sometimes, her head will fall into the crook of Neji’s neck, while Shikamaru’s arms cling to her as if they’re expecting the incoming apocalypse. Other times, she’ll be the one on the end, holding Neji close, or clinging to Shikamaru. No matter where she falls on their bed though, she takes those moments to count her blessings. On Tuesdays it just might be the silky sheen of Neji’s hair, and on Thursdays the grouchy pout that Shikamaru puts on unconsciously when something is troublesome.
It’s a bond that she’s never known to exist before, something she feels so especially privileged to be privy to. It’s different from her bond with Naruto, and of the love she felt - and still feels - for Sasuke. It is different also, from the men that she has dated before this. There is no word in her vocabulary that suffices - she can only say it is exceptional, remarkable…
Special.
