His voice echoed in her head causing her eyes to shut themselves tightly for a short moment. It didn’t bother her, it had left an empty dark hole in her chest and it was worse than only ’ a bother ’ . Her eyes opened again.
” I..I know..” but she didn’t. She was shocked. More than shocked, she was stunned. The part of her that hoped for Sasuke to appreciate one thing that she ever done for him had been forgotten a long time ago, it had been givenup on. But what now? He always did? She had stopped speaking, a battle of questions in her head.
Left to the sudden bemusement of silence, lids settled only half-way, slight pigment in coal eyes reflecting that of sincerity. He noticed just how much his words seem to effect her, whether good or bad, something inside of him was relieved. Relieved to.. still be loved. Or at least semblance to. Brows knit together as frustration deemed itself upon him. Her lack of words struck him as disgruntlement, footing taking him a few inches in proximity towards her.
Perhaps it was best to keep quiet.
Perhaps they were meant to bask in the solemness of silence. But Sasuke didn’t want that. He wanted amends to be made - the air to be clear. His heart to be saved. Sakura was the only one who could offer that.
Still, he grew ever near until he was but a foot away from her anatomy. “Or maybe that emptiness you feel cannot be filled by words of affection.”
