No answer was given to his question. Her cranium kept low, her emotions eating her up. His steps startled her, her body reacting instantly. She flinched, feeling alarmed. All the times the team reunited with the raven, his initial action was to attack. This could be the day she died, for she knew she wasn’t up to par with the male. And not only that, but there was no one who could protect her. Sakura was absolutely useless at this point.

Don’t you cry.
Jaded orbs widened, only making it that much harder to keep the tears in. She was fighting herself, expression twisting into a sobbing one. Just then the roseate felt something slide down her cheeks. Tears. Damn it. Digits reached for her visage immediately, wiping away the droplets. But this moment called for crying. There was Sasuke standing in front of her after so long. Something she’s been begging to see. The thoughts forced more sobbing for the medic-nin, burying her face deep into her palms.

In a mere second, his mouth filled with a bitter taste, simultaneously with a feeling of nausea spreading throughout his entire being. He had never experienced such a feeling before and, consequently, he couldn’t quite name it–but he had a vague idea of what it was–and ti made him tremble.
“I do not deserve this."
He was slightly proud of himself for keeping his cool. When he asked of the girl the girl not to cry, it was maybe more for himself than for her. Seeing someone who used to matter a lot in his life break down – because of him – like that, was not a pleasant sight, not even for someone as cold-hearted as the raven.
”I am not someone whom you should cry over.“
