Headcanon: The Accidental First Kiss

THE SS TRAVELS SERIES (03)

—

“Ahhhh!” Sakura scream with glee as she sets her eyes on the magnificent waterfall in front of her.

For the past two days, the only scene their route of travel provided was trees after trees after trees.

Sakura would have been ecstatic to see even just a pond but she couldn’t believe her lucky stars — she got a whole waterfall!

She closed her eyes and lifted her tired arms from her sides like she was about the embrace the scene before her.

Sasuke watched Sakura and found himself smiling at the sight. It was Sasuke who planned their routes, and he always chooses the fastest ones but maybe he could choose the more scenic route sometimes... He knew it would be illogical but seeing Sakura so happy hit him differently. He told himself he’d consider it.

Sasuke scoured the vicinity and deemed that it was safe they took camp there. He then began setting up.

Sakura takes off her sandals and dips her feet into the water. She immediately felt rejuvenated. The cool water doing wonders for her sore feet.

She turned around to invite Sasuke and realizes he was already setting camp. She jumps to her feet and heads over to help him.

Almost everything was set up, only the tents were left. Sakura breathes in deeply. This was the difficult part.

Sasuke was capable of setting his own tent, but he did so with a little difficulty — something he’d never admit. He was, after all, still getting used to just having one arm.

Sakura has always offered to help him but he always refused. She always let it go and found herself tiptoeing on eggshells because she didn’t want to push it. Sasuke was a proud man.

“Sasuke-kun, let me help with that,” Sakura says, taking hold of the bag that held the tents.

“I’ve got it,” Sasuke said, taking hold of the bag instead. But Sakura doesn’t let go. She felt like it was high time she put her foot down because if she let this one little thing go, it would just evolve to the bigger, more important things in the future.

“I’m with you now, Sasuke-kun. So, let’s help each other,” Sakura told Sasuke, who was looking down at the bag with a disgruntled expression.

A good ten seconds elapsed before Sasuke finally looks up at Sakura and nods.

Sakura did her best to contain her happiness. This was a step. And she knew that he knew it, too.

—

“Sasuke-kun,” Sakura said

Sasuke looks to her, “Ah.” He was roasting the fish they had caught earlier.

“Let’s take a swim,” Sakura said, nodding her heads towards the water. That day was very hot and sunny, it would be perfect if they took a dip. The sun went down about an hour prior so the water would have been even cooler.

Sasuke stayed silent for a little while and Sakura could feel the blush creep onto her cheeks. Did she just get rejected?

“Perfect for sore muscles,” Sakura added, inner Sakura making a facepalm. Sakura didn’t know why she did that, her pride was now diminished to a negative 7.

That until Sasuke spoke up. “Ah.”

—

Sasuke began to strip down, hanging his clothes on a nearby branch. He walked into the water with no qualms.

Sakura felt her face heat up. When she invited him into the water, she didn’t think much of it. She forgot the part that she’d have to strip down to her underwear, too! If it were Naruto or anyone else, she wouldn’t really be this self-conscious but it was Sasuke for crying out loud.

Too late to back out now. She begins to take her clothes off and heads to the water as well.

She shivers, her body slowly adjusting to the cool temperature.

Sasuke was floating on his back, watching the full moon with his mismatched eyes.

She wishes he would look like this forever — peaceful.

“Want to play a game?” Sakura asked Sasuke who got back on his feet.

“Naruto and I used to have this stupid contest on who could hold their breath the longest,” Sakura explained

“No using of any special jutsu or anything like that.”

Sasuke thought, why not. He swims over to her until they were face to face.

“Count of three,” Sakura said, counting backward

And then they go underwater.

—

Sasuke was counting in his head. 3 minutes and 7 seconds.

Sakura was doing well for herself when she felt something slither around her ankles.

She claws her way up to the surface in panic.

“There’s something in the water!” Sakura yelled, her chest heaving up and down quickly.

She turns her head and looks around for whatever the culprit was, which was in fact, difficult to do with it being night time and all.

As she turns her head back around, she felt something brush against her lips. She’s paralyzed in shock.

It takes a few seconds for Sakura to assess the situation.

In the heat of it all, she found herself accidentally clinging onto Sasuke and there was virtually no distance between them. Their faces less than a quarter of an inch away.

Her arms were wrapped around his shoulders, her legs wrapped around his torso. His arm around her waist (in what she believed to be a reflex action).

“Shannaro....!” She yells, immediately untangling herself from the Uchiha.

She covers her face with both her hands in embarrassment. “I’m so sorry, Sasuke-kun! I panicked!” She wades her way out of the water. Not caring about whatever slimy creature was there in the water. She was far too embarrassed to care.

Sasuke looks at her retreating figure and blinks, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. The raven-haired ninja was also in shock. His whole body tingling with electricity.

He submerges into the water again, feeling the heat of the moment, glad that the water was ice old.

Sewing, shaping foam, creating patterns based only on 2D images...it’s an adventure! I’m working extremely hard to bring Prince Lotor from Voltron to life at during SacAnime this weekend! I’ll have an artist spot in the Indy Press Zone, so come say hi! This is the most intense cosplay ever, but I loved the character development in season 5 so much....I still refuse to fully believe all that went down in season 6...but the main motivator behind my cosplay is that anyone can be redeemed. Sometimes they don’t accept it, but it’s possible. ❤️ Now, to get some rest so I can work more on my fav purple prince tomorrow 😆🧝🏻‍♂️ #itsablueegglife #princelotor #lotor #voltronlegendarydefender #lotorcosplay #ajlocascio #cosplaygirl #cosplaygirlsofinstagram #sacanime #sacanime2018 #sacanimesummer2018 #sacanimesummer #animecosplay #voltroncosplay #voltroncosplayer #indypresszone #calledtobecreative #creativelife #roadtoredemption #redemption #art_we_inspire #artinprogress #abeautifulmess #livecreatively #creativity #thenativecreative #calledtocreate #seekinspirecreate #creativebiz #creativepreneur @preview.app https://www.instagram.com/p/BnDY4VLBlfN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19f5kf3zzn5g6

Deciding to quit... and trying again?

Life is like a box of chocolates- you’ll never know what you’re gonna get! -Forrest Gump

Ah yes. This is one story of how life (or myself) literally fcks me over. Well... it’s mostly just mysef but you get the picture.

Remember when I told you that Christmas is the best season for me? Well, it pretty much still is, but December 2020 is one for the books. It was one of the most difficult times in my life. I was severely depressed and anxious to the point that I became suicidal (yey holiday cheer!) (but depression and anxiety is no laughing matter kids.)

Anyway, I’ve ruined my own holiday because I was grossly neglectful of my job and my studies. I had literally wasted a couple of months just playing games on my phone and avoiding my tasks. But I was getting paid. It really screwed me up because what I was doing did not align with my values. Out of impulse (and because I was overcame by guilt and shame), I’ve left my decent-paying job. I might have stepped on some toes for doing so and I feel really bad.

I immediately felt instant regret. But at the same time, I’ve figured that if I leave, it would be a sign of courtesy: but to me, it just looked like cowardice. How I wish I could have rectified the situation, but instead, I chose to walk away.

What can I do? I was afraid of being shunned and not being trusted by my bosses. I had a probing feeling that they will never trust me again or accept my apologies. It was my fault and I had become a shitty person for not going up to them and speaking with them. I just made a half-assed resignation letter that did not even reflect my heart.

But I am not the victim. I just knew that I did not deserve the money that the taxpayers are paying me because I was not putting in the same amount of effort at work. I’ve felt terrible and I promised myself that I would do my best to strive harder and be more proactive in my next job.

Here I am again after several months, being fortunate (?) or I guess this is going to be my karma- having another job. I am a tad bit wiser than I was before. I came not to give only the bare minimum- I want to give my best effort at work, whether it be in the small things. Sure- my salary here is lesser compared to my previous job, but I hope and pray that this chance will not be wasted, instead, I would grow more from it. I hope I can gain new skills and redeem myself and probably find an interesting thing or maybe several interesting things to cling on to.

I am also planning to transfer schools because I got disqualified. But I will pick up the pace- slowly but surely. Slowly but surely.

#Boston numba 5! I don’t think I’ve dreamt of a race going this badly in my wildest nightmares. If it had been any other race, I probably would have dropped out after my 5th puking binge at mile 12 (gotta get the breath fresh for Wellesley 😜), but I couldn’t, because it’s Boston. The history of this race and the city that stands behind it holds a special place in my heart and I will never not finish. And while marathons never get easier, I still learn something new every time I toe the line. If anything this race has renewed my fire to be better, faster, stronger. #RoadToBoston and #RoadToRedemption starts.. NOW.

I’m realizing I’ve never had boundaries for myself. I wasn’t really allowed to have them growing up either which explains y I always feel the need to give so much of myself for others aka over extending myself. Boundaries are necessary for a healthy mental state and for healthy relationships. #boundaries #settingboundaries #regram #toxicpeople #toxicrelationships #healingquotes #selflove #selfcare #healing #healingenergy #loveyourself #roadtoredemption #onedayatatime #energy #love #peace #happiness #narcissisticabuse #memyselfandi https://www.instagram.com/p/BtwnDhCl8gu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18vxoy9qt8xf5
