(Sasuke X Reader) The Eyes That Capture

Chapter 53

You stand straight in front of your precious friends that you love a lot.

You have just finished telling them everything about yourself, not leaving even a single detail out. But all of them don't give any response. They just keep quiet.

A rush of nervosity comes flooding into you. A lot of things are going on in your mind.

What if they don't forgive you?

What if they don't trust you anymore?

What if, what if, what if...

Lots of probabilities are intertwining in your head.

Suddenly, after a long silence, naruto stands up from his seat. He then takes a few steps towards you.

"I'm sorry, (name), for not asking about your troubles before. I didn't know that you have suffered so much."

He puts his hands on your shoulders and smiles brightly at you.

"But from now on, we can share everything together, alright? No more secrets between us. Plus, we're all friends. Aren't we?"

His cheerful attitude is making you feel much more relieved.

Tears start to gather at the corner of your eyes.

"Thank you, naruto."

You say, being touched at his kindness.

Naruto then pulls you into a hug.

"We love you, (name)!"

Then, he turns to look at the rest of your friends.

"Come on, guys! Give her a chance! It's not like she purposely lied about herself before. She's still our friends, right?"

Shikamaru suddenly snickers.

"What a pain."

His trademark comes out. Right after, a smile is formed on his face.

"All this complicated story is making me dizzy. And i don't like complicated things. I'll just consider that you did nothing wrong. That makes you my friend."

You smile brighter at his declaration. Then, more of them starts to smile.

"Well, well... Do we have a choice right here? You are precious, (name). So why should we abandon you?"

Temari says.

"Yes, of course! You had to do that before! It's not that you wanted it. So being the cool guy i am, i forgive you."

Kiba adds.

"Well, even though she told nothing about her background, i believe that the kind side that she showed us before is her true self. Therefore, you are just the same (name) we use to know. It's just that, we discover something new about you today. That's all!"

Now it's yuri's turn to speak. Neji that is sitting beside her doesn't say anything, but he keeps on nodding. It appears that he agrees with her.

Not long after that, all of them starts to smile again, and the room becomes noisy like always.

However, someone is still quiet.

It's sakura.

She still appears sad and hurt.

Feeling guilty, you make your way towards her and crouch down beside her.

"Sakura, are you still mad?"

Your question remains unanswered. Sakura doesn't say a word. She is just looking down to the floor.

"Sakura... Please, look at me."
