Sasuke x Fem Reader: That's love

A/N: I'm feeling very uninspired, so I've begun writing off of writing prompts, so if you guys have any please send them to me! Things don't exactly float out of my head right now because of my overwhelming amount of school, but thanks for being patient and still supporting my story. It means a lot! - Iki

You can't predict love. It just kinda happens. It's unexpected and strange. You grow attachment to someone even if you don't want to.

You hated Sasuke Uchiha. There was no way you would ever fall in love. You couldn't even pull yourself to tolerate him, even when he saved your life.

He kept on saving you over and over, which confused you beyond measures.

"Why do you keep on coming after me Teme?"

"Because you're an idiot."

"The hell does that mean?"

"You'll end up killing yourself one day."

"Maybe I will."

Sasuke never stopped catching you when you fell. He was like the footstool you never knew you needed. The Uchiha complained every time he caught you.

"Y/N you're such a fool. Just be careful for once in your life."

"Nobody asked you to stay here. I could've saved myself."

"You almost fell off a cliff-"

"Shut up."

Your relationship was like this for as long as you could remember. Maybe you liked him a little bit.

"Just a bit."

You never let yourself grow attached to him, or so you thought. When he left to go train with Orochimaru, it was almost as if your heart had been ripped out of your chest. The pain was greater then you could have ever imagined.

"Y/N?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine Sakura, don't worry about it."

Your monotone voice showed no emotion, but that was just a façade. Your inner being was at war with itself.

'Should I go after him?'

'No. You don't love him, or care about him. Besides, Naruto is going after him anyways.'

You distanced yourself from the world, almost never leaving your home unless you had a mission. Your squad leader was concerned when you didn't show up to training.

"Y/N!"

"What."

"Please come to training, we need you to stay strong for the whole squad's well being."

"No."

"Why?"

"It's none of your business, please excuse me, I must be on my way."

You brushed past him, running into your room. It couldn't be helped, all the swirling thoughts poured out through your now streaming tears. You were rocking in a ball trying to comfort yourself as there was no one for you to lean on. Where was Sasuke when you needed him?

A whoosh of wind swirled in through your now open window. You grabbed a kunai knife and hid behind the door peeking from behind it, trying to see who intruded into your apartment.

"Who are you?"

"You already know who I am," a familiar deep voice called out. More tears started streaming down your face as you leapt from behind the door into his strong arms, immediately dropping the weapon.

"Sasuke?," you asked hopefully, but you already knew it was him. Sasuke always smelled of sweat and pine trees.

"Y/N?"

His face showed visible surprise at your embrace. You buried your head in his chest not even caring about how sweaty he was.

"I missed you. A lot."

"I missed you too."

The Uchiha leaned down and kissed your forehead.

"Do you understand now, Y/N?"

"Yes. You've loved me all this time, and I've never acknowledged once how much you did for me."

"I don't care."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be."

"Why me?"

"People fall in love without reason, even if they don't want to. You can't predict it. You grow attached to someone even if you don't want to. That's love, and I love you."

You chuckled at this, "And that's love."
