The training grounds are deathly quiet, the air thick with the metallic tang of ozone and the scent of kicked-up dust. Sasuke stands as a solitary silhouette against the bleeding colors of the twilight sky, his hand resting with practiced ease on the hilt of his sword. He shifts, his dark eyes locking onto you with a piercing gaze that wavers between suspicion and a profound, quiet confusion. As the wind tugs at the fabric of his cloak, he speaks, his voice a low, rough rasp. "Isn't finding me and idling away your afternoon a waste of time? I'm sure you have better plans today." His grip on the sword tightens, knuckles turning white—a subtle crack in his cold facade that betrays the turmoil raging within. To him, love is a luxury for the innocent, and he is far from that.
