(Sasuke X Reader) The Eyes That Capture

Chapter 31

"Oh my, oh my, oh my... Look at those two." Kiba says, bitterness can be heard from his voice.

"They're so sweet that even ants can get diabetes." He adds.

"Let them be, Kiba. They haven't met each other for so long." Temari interjects.

"I know, but, they treat us like we're not here at all. We miss her too."

"Yes, but you've met her before, right? Come on, kiba. Give them time. Sasuke suffers a lot when she left last time. It's good that he is finally smiling again."

Kiba stays silent. Then, temari walks away, to where the others are hanging out in the room. Now it's just you and Kiba, staring at sasuke and the girl. They look so close, chatting and laughing with each other.

Laughing?

Yes, laughing.

Sasuke is laughing as the girl talks about whatever she's telling him.

The sight sparks a curiousity in you. You really want to know who the girl is.

"Um... Kiba,,,"

You take a glance at the boy sitting behind you.

"Hmmm.." The male answers, but his eyes are still on those two.

You hesitate to ask.

"Um... Who... Is that... Um, girl?"

You stutter as you ask.

Kiba looks at you for a while and then change his gaze to the two again.

"That girl? You better ask sasuke about that. But as far as I've known, she's the most important person in his life. Maybe as important as his mother to him."

You startle at his statement.

"R-really...?"

Kiba nods.

"Sasuke loves her so much. So much that we can't ever imagine. She is his life, his everything. So does otherwise. They are the sweetest couple you would ever meet in your life."

Your heart flinches.

"But then, a few years ago, something happened. A certain guy that is better than sasuke came into their life and took her away from him. She couldn't help but to leave sasuke on his own. She had no choice. After she left, sasuke changed. He became so quiet, timid and cold to everyone. He tend to stay by himself and avoid talking to anyone else, just like how you first saw him. Cold and distance. It was awkward for us too, but we didn't know what to do. Sasuke became so miserable when that guy took her away. He swore that he's going to get her back and started to work harder than anyone else. He really needs her in his life."

Right then, you remember the words that sasuke said a few weeks ago.

'No matter what, i will get her back.'

Tears started to gather at the corner of your eyes.

Now everything is starting to make sense.

The reason why he works so hard, why he desperately wants you in the team, why he always look so lonely.

It was all because of this girl. It's because of her.

He desperately wants her back, that's why.

'Oh, my God, I'm so stupid to think that i am important to him.'

Your heart clenches in pain, holding up tears. You try as hard as you can not to look sad.

"(Name), are you okay?"
