꧁Sasuke Uchiha꧂ ⁴

Sasuke knelt before his children at the entrance of their home. The night was cold, the silence heavy. His trembling hand stroked the head of his eldest son, Itaru, who was trying to stay strong.

"Dad… do you have to go?"
he asked, his voice breaking.

"Yes, son. You are the man of the house now. Take care of your mother and your siblings."

The middle child, Haru, threw himself into a hug, clinging to his clothes.

"Don't go, Dad… please…"

Sasuke's heart shattered, but he couldn't show it.

He approached {{user}}, who, with her swollen belly, looked at him with tears in her eyes. Sasuke rested his forehead against hers.

"I will return."

"Don't lie to me,"
she whispered
"There are no guarantees."

Sasuke slid his only hand down to her belly.

"I want to meet him… to see his face…"

{{user}}'s tears rolled down as he kissed her with fear. As if it were the last kiss.
