Note: Long before Rise came to be there was a file on my computer named “Untitled SasuSaku.” It has a little over 30k words and it’s been abandoned since 2017 because I decided the overall direction of the story didn’t fit what I wanted anymore. Instead I began writing Rise, in which I’ve corporated a lot of the themes and quite a few scenes from the original file. If you’ve read Rise you may notice something familiar in the story below. 

I was inspired by the #sssnippetaday tag on Twitter to post a snippet from the story (you can find me on Twitter under the username konohahoe). After posting the snippet I decided to skim through the rest of the story and came across the scene below. Reading it brought back a lot of warm memories (I remember it being so fun to write) and since I decided it worked well enough on its own and I would never be posting it otherwise, here we are! 

I hope you enjoy. <3

It's her twentieth birthday and Sakura wakes up after a good night's sleep to stretch, twisting the sheets around her ankles before pausing to stare contentedly at her ceiling. She plans on being utterly and completely lazy today, and with a yawn she rises from her bed to fix herself a nice, big, fattening breakfast.

She's just taken the first bite of her stack of chocolate chip pancakes when there's a sudden thud in her bedroom. Automatically her senses fan out, and her tightened muscles loosen when she recognizes Naruto, Sai, and Sasuke's chakra signatures.

"We could have just gone through the door, idiot," she hears Sasuke quietly mutter.

"But that takes away from the surprise!" Naruto shoots back.

"I don't think Ugly will appreciate us breaking into her house," Sai deadpans.

"Her name," Sasuke says slowly, deliberately, the iciness not hidden in his tone, "is Sakura."

"Shut up, guys." That's Naruto. "You're being too loud."

Sakura rolls her eyes but continues to eat, pretending she doesn't hear them. Some stealthily shinobi they are, she scoffs.

Another few seconds pass, and then her bedroom door creaks open. She twists her head to see Naruto's blond head poking out.

He freezes when he sees her, realizing he's been caught, and then grins. Before she knows it she's in his arms and trying her best not to suffocate in a crushing hug. 

"Surprise! Happy Birthday, Sakura-chan!" 

Sakura laughs as much as her constrained chest will allow her. "Thank you, Naruto," she gasps.

"Let her go, dobe," Sasuke commands flatly. "You're hurting her."

Naruto sheepishly takes a step back, and Sakura coughs a few times as she regains her breath. 

"What are you guys doing here?" she huffs, fixing them with a stern glare. “And have you heard of using the front door?”

Naruto pouts. "We're here to celebrate your birthday, of course."

"Did you have to show up so early in the morning?" she complains. Gesturing down at her abandoned stack of pancakes, she says sadly, "I haven't even eaten yet."

Taking her words in stride, Naruto strolls over to her small living room and plops himself down on her couch. Making himself comfortable, he responds easily, "No problem, Sakura-chan. We'll just wait until you're done."

Sakura rolls her eyes. She watches as Sai moves to sit beside Naruto, and just as she's about to take another bite of her pancakes Sasuke pulls up the chair to her left instead of joining their teammates on the couch. 

He meets her gaze, then glances down at the fork frozen in its path to her mouth. Sakura clears her throat. And even though she knows he hates sweets she holds the fork out to him anyway. "Wanna try some?" she asks meekly.

It's all she can do to stop her jaw from dropping open when he leans forward and closes his mouth around her fork, pulling the portion off as if it's the most natural thing in the world. 

She watches, nearly gaping, as he chews for a few moments; slowly his nose wrinkles, and he frowns.

"Too sweet," he states simply.

Sakura expels a short, breathy laugh. "I know. You don't like sweets. Why'd you even try it then?"

He shrugs, not meeting her curious eyes. "You offered."

She stares at him. Shaking her head, she forces herself to focus back on her food. "You're strange," she comments nonchalantly, and takes another bite.

He snorts. "And you're annoying."

Sakura's fingers tighten around her fork instinctively. She hasn't heard that word in a long, long time—hasn't heard him say it since the day he defected. It stirs her emotions in ways she can't explain. Her throat clenches and her chest suddenly feels too tight. 

It's like he never left. 

They're so different now, so irrevocably stained by blood and death and war that they'll never be the same again. They've lived through nightmares other people will never be able to understand, but in that moment Sakura feels so utterly whole, so complete, that she has to remind herself that she's no longer twelve and that it's been eight years since the boy she loved more than anything left her alone on that cold bench to conquer the demons from his past.

Swallowing hard, she smiles softly down at the table. "Yeah," she says quietly. "I know."

___________________________________

Her three boys linger around her for the rest of the day. Naruto says that they haven't been able to properly celebrate her birthday in years since she's either always had work at the hospital or they've been out on missions, so he doesn't want to miss a moment of such a rare opportunity. 

They've planned to take her to the village's Spring Festival (which just happens to fall on her birthday this year) later on that night, but just before they leave to get themselves dressed properly, Naruto beams and holds out a wrapped bundle containing her gifts.

Laughing, Sakura graciously takes the bundle from his hands and sits on the couch. Sasuke drops gracefully to sit beside her while Naruto and Sai fold themselves on the floor at her feet, watching her intently.

She pulls out a medium-sized orange package first. Even if the coloring isn't enough to tell that it's from Naruto, the blond's beaming grin is more than enough of an indication. Having received some extremely random and unexpected presents from her blue-eyed friend in the past, Sakura opens it with great caution, preparing herself for the worst.

An astonished gasp falls from her mouth as her hands come in contact with frayed, worn leather. The thick book now evident in her hands is ancient, but even so Sakura is able to make out the words spelled out in gold on its cover.

"This is Hamakura Renichi's 'Origin of Healing Ninjutsu'!" she all but squeals. "But, but"—her gaze flashes in disbelief up to Naruto's pleased blue eyes—"Hamakura-san lost this in a raid on his village before any prints could be made! He had to start all over from scratch and only recorded a third of what's in this before he died. And that was centuries ago! How in the world did you come across this?"

Naruto leans back to rest on his palms with a satisfied smirk on his face, obviously more than content with his work. "I found it while on a mission a few months ago. I stopped to rest for the night and went to go hunting and found this really small abandoned cabin—more like a shack, really—in the middle of the forest." He points to the book that Sakura now cradles against her chest like a baby.  "That was there poking out under a bunch of really nasty-looking blankets." With a casual shrug, he finishes, "I thought it looked pretty cool so I did a little research and once I found out how important it was I knew it would be perfect to give to you. You like it, right?"

Sakura throws herself at Naruto—mindful to gently place the book down beside her before, of course—so hard he tumbles over, and with her arms wrapped around his neck she nearly yells in his ear, "Of course!"

Naruto's laughing from beneath her, and she squeezes him tight once more before releasing him. Smiling brightly into his whiskered face, she says with the utmost sincerity, "Thank you, Naruto. This is just about the greatest thing you could've ever given me."

As she rises to sit back on the couch she sees Naruto shoot his other two teammates a smug grin out of the corner of her eye, almost as if in challenge.

Sakura decides not to comment. With a small smile she turns to her next present. It's encased in a large, rectangular wooden box tied shut with a simple navy blue string around the middle. There's a miniature uchiwa fan printed in the middle of it, a direct indicator as to who it's from.

Curious, she undoes the string with deft fingers and gently pulls the lid off. Sitting on a bed of shimmering dark blue silk is a pair of combat gloves, very similar to the ones she has now but—as she can tell when she picks them up to inspect them—made of much better quality material.

Sakura slips them on to find that they fit her perfectly. She squeezes her hand into a fist, marveling in the way the black material conforms perfectly to her movements. With her style of fighting she tends to go through at least fifty different pairs of gloves a year, but she has a feeling that these will last her for quite some time to come.

"They're perfect," she says, meeting Sasuke's gaze that has been locked on her the whole time and smiling widely. "Thank you."

He nods at her, an unspoken You're welcome. His dark eyes flicker back the wooden box, and she remembers the blue silk that still rests there.

Her curiosity doubles instantly. In all honesty she didn't expect much out of Sasuke; he's not one to care much about such occasions and she would've been more than content with just the gloves. She slips her gloves off to turn her attention to what else lies in the box.

Carefully she lifts the delicate-looking silk and holds it up in her hands. It rolls gracefully out of its careful fold like midnight-colored liquid pouring from her fingertips, and there's only a slight moment of confusion on her part before she realizes that it's a kimono.

Her eyes widen, mouth falling open in shock. The kimono is the single most beautiful piece of clothing she's ever seen. The material is downy-soft to the touch, such a deep, pure blue it could've easily been woven straight from the night sky. 

There's an intricate design stitched up and around the left side: a thin, curling silver branch holding a sparse number of pale pink cherry blossoms. At the bottom of the kimono, circling around the branch as if to reach up and pluck off the flowers, are three silver-and-maroon colored koi fish. They've been so neatly and expertly woven that with each small movement of the silk Sakura swears they're alive, swimming in the pool of midnight upon which they're placed. 

Lying in the box is a folded strip of silver cloth. The obi, she assumes.

"It was my mother's," Sasuke says quietly, instantly breaking her out of her entranced paralysis.

Sakura's eyes widen impossibly more. She slowly turns the kimono around, and sure enough—resting just below the collar—there's the small red and white Uchiha fan: such a simple emblem, so seemingly harmless, yet filled with so much history and significance that it transcends any possibly inconsequential first impressions a thousand times over. Such a precious, irreplaceable piece, and he’s decided to gift it to her.

It was my mother's.

"This—this was your mother’s? Sasuke-kun, I..." Her words falter and she suddenly feels like crying. "I mean, are you sure—"

"I want you to have it," he interrupts, voice not in the least biting or malicious yet undoubtedly stern. 

She twists her head to look at him from her place beside him on the couch. His black gaze is serious as she continues to stare wide-eyed at him, at a loss of what to say.

Finally Sakura finds it in her to muster up a wobbly smile. Blinking hard a few times to keep the tears at bay, she leans forward and—because she can't think of any other way to express how incredibly thankful she is—kisses him firmly on the cheek. 

He jerks back slightly at her touch, then stills. Sakura smiles against his skin before pulling away. And although the words aren't nearly enough to express how truly grateful she is, how touched, she says softly, "Thank you, Sasuke-kun. I—I can’t imagine how much this must mean to you. I’ll be sure to take good care of it."

Sasuke glances at her before looking away. There's another small nod of his head, but otherwise he remains silent, refusing to meet her gaze. 

Feeling a pair of eyes on her, she looks down to see Naruto watching her intently, a slow smile starting to show on his face. His eyes flicker over to Sasuke and his smile grows larger. She shoots him a puzzled look before her attention is drawn to Sai walking back from her bedroom holding a large rectangular package in his arms. 

"I wasn't sure what to get you," Sai tells her as he sets the wide, thin package in front of her. "You are hard to choose presents for, Ugly."

She grins. "That you even got me anything is enough to make me happy, Sai."

He smiles at her and it's genuine. 

Pursing her lips, Sakura tears the plain brown paper open to reveal the corner of a canvas. The sudden notion that Sai might have painted something for her has her pulling the rest of the paper off in excitement. From the moment he first showed her his artwork years ago she's been his biggest fan, always wondering what his newest project is and peeking over his shoulder to watch him work his magic. 

Once the paper's completely off she has about a second to see what's on the canvas before tears begin welling in her eyes, promptly obscuring her vision. She presses her hand against her mouth to stop a sob from escaping.

Sai painted her a fully detailed portrait of the four of them together. Bright and full of life and color, it's a hand-made snapshot of Sakura standing in the middle of her three boys, Team 7's training area in the background. She's bending down slightly, eyes filled with undeniable joy as she laughs. The cause of her laughter and awkward position can only be Naruto, who sports a similar expression. He has evidently jumped upon her back, his arms wrapped around her neck and legs crossed over hers, suspended in time as he tackles her. Sai is smiling at the imaginary camera, standing to her left. On her other side is Sasuke. The Uchiha has a light frown on his face, glaring slightly at Naruto as he reaches an arm out to keep their only female teammate from falling over.

"Sai, it's beautiful," she exhales. The tears overflow, and she smiles a smile so big it almost hurts. A sudden laugh escapes her lips, and before she knows it she's placed the painting to the side, pulled Sai to her by the collar of his shirt, and hugged him as hard as she can without injuring him. "I can't believe—oh, thank you, Sai. I love it so much."

Sakura taught him a long time ago how to respond to such affection, and he's only still for a moment before reaching up and winding his arms around her back. "You're welcome, Ugly," he states simply.

Another laugh escapes her mouth. She leans back out of Sai's grasp slightly and with a hefty, "Come here, you two," pulls her other two teammates to her as well. 

Naruto joins in on the group hug in a heartbeat, but Sasuke shies away, eyeing them warily.

Sakura holds out her only free hand to him and raises her eyebrows, expectant. Sasuke just stares at her with a small frown, black meeting green.

But then he reaches out, just close enough to be in her reach, allowing her to thread her fingers through his and tug him down to her. 

Once he’s beside her she kisses his cheek again, just to see what he'll do.

He jerks back as he did before, obviously startled. "Sakura," he lets out, more of an instinctual reaction to her sudden movement than a sign of displeasure.

"Hm?" She tilts her head at him.

This time he holds her gaze for a bit longer, searching her eyes with his, before purposely focusing elsewhere. Sakura's grin only grows wider when she notices that he hasn't let go of her hand. And for a moment she pictures how they’ll look tonight at the Spring Festival, walking side by side, the Uchiha fan displayed proudly between both their shoulders.

“Thank you,” she whispers as she holds three of her most precious people in her arms, feeling overwhelmed at the thought and care behind their gifts. “So very much. I can’t even tell you how much this means to me. You guys just made this the most amazing birthday ever.”

“Only the best for you, Sakura-chan,” Naruto huffs. 

“The day isn’t over yet, Ugly,” comments Sai.

She laughs, then notices that Sasuke’s finally turned his head back in her direction. 

Meeting her gaze with soft, content eyes only she can see, he squeezes her fingers in his and quietly says, “Happy Birthday, Sakura.”

Sasusaku fanfic recommendation

>> Rise - xxsilverechoxx <<

Guys this story is AMAZING! One of the most in-character Sasusaku stories I’ve ever read, and it’s so fucking wholesome. It’s still ongoing but it’s so worth the read.

[behindheremeraldeyes]

For the ask thing: The first one of every category 👀

Ohh!! You're a bold one! And I'm not gonna chicken out! Also, thank you for sending me the numbers! Here we go!

1) What's the first fandom you got involved in?

Believe it or not, it was SasuSaku. My very first fandom... I didn't even know what fandoms were before Naruto/ SasuSaku (even if I was already fingirling over some stuff). That's my home!

11) Who's your current OTP?

Again, the answer is obviously SasuSaku. I love them with all my heart and I would do anything for them. Want my money? It's yours. Want my soul? Already given. 

21) What's the first fanfic you've ever wrote?

Wow... That's a tricky one... The first fic I ever wrote was never really posted. It was an angst fic I wrote in 2013 and Sasuke kidnapped Sakura and they fell in love (yes, I went through that phase, too...But he was a true gentlemen). That fic is in Portuguese and I remember writing it alone in the night in my bed after imagining the whole thing happening in my head.

41) List 5 fics you're currently reading:

Since I've been reading a lot of one-shots lately and I have tons of tabs open in my phone, I'll list some of them here!

- Quietus (of course)

- Rise (by xxSilverEchoxx)

- Mirepoix (by ChronicallyChill)

- Kingdom for Two (by ChronicallyChill)

-Sakura's Secret (by @roraewrites - though I'm super late with this one).

And the end!!

For When The Fire Burns Bright by xxSilverEchoxx

Link here.

Summary: SasuSaku. One-shot. She says she'll marry him, when he asks her. "I won't bother you like I did when we were genin," she jokes, smiling. "Unless you wish otherwise, it'll be like I'm not even there." And when she tells him not to worry, it's the very thing he does.

Review: Stunning. A beautiful depiction of Sasuke’s ever ambivalent emotions and sensitivities toward Sakura within what only seems to be a loveless marriage. Never ceases to make me shed a tear at some points, because oh it hurts my heart to see Sakura so convinced that Sasuke is incapable of reciprocation but still unconditionally devoted to him. Anyways, quite a lovely fic, and definitely one of my standing favorites. 

Rating: ★★★★☆

hi! do you know of any complete sasusaku fics on ffnet where the plot's basically sasuke's return to konoha (whether canon or forced) & how his relationship with sakura/team 7 proceeds? i know that's specific but yeah i was just wondering :-)

I know a lot, actually! :) idk if you wanted the ones where he returned to Konoha but left to travel, though, so most of those i excluded.

A Bottle of Sake (Part 1)

Drunk!Sakura and exasperated yet hopelessly in love Sasuke. Part 2 is here!

“That’s when I said, ‘Naruto! I bet I can finish a whole bottle of sake faster than you!’ And what does that idiot do?” Sakura giggles, stumbling a little as she walks. Sasuke subtly reaches out his arm to prevent her from bumping into any unsuspecting pedestrians. She blinks at the arm around her shoulders, then grins up at him, cheeks flushed. “Thanks, Sasuke-kun. What was I saying again?”

His lips twitch upward. Ever so seriously he replies, “You told Naruto you could drink a bottle of sake faster than him.”

“Right!” she exclaims, waving a hand vigorously in the air. “And then he said, ‘Sorry, Sakura-chan, but there’s just no way. I’ll kick your ass.’” She rolls her eyes. “So we bet that if he could finish it faster than me, I would have to treat him out to ramen for a month. And if I beat him, he would have to finally confess his feelings to Hinata.” Standing a little straighter now, she huffs, “That poor girl has been in love with him for a decade! There’s no way I was going to let her down.”

Sasuke maneuvers both of them around a street vendor. “I’m guessing you won, then?”

“Damn right I did!” she yells. Sasuke has to stifle his laugh with a cough. “When I tell you I’ve never chugged anything so fast in my life, I mean it. That sake didn’t stand a chance.”

She looks absurdly proud of herself, and Sasuke decides not to tell her that the sake seems to have done some damage as well. He’s never seen her so drunk. 

“And you know what that bastard said to me after I won?” Sakura looks up at him with indignant eyes. “He said he’d already confessed to her! They’ve been dating for a whole two days now, Sasuke-kun, and I had no idea.” Her shoulders slump. She bows her head and whispers, sounding utterly heartbroken, “I’ve never felt so betrayed.”

Sasuke lets out a laugh before he can catch himself. He can’t help it—drunk Sakura amuses him immensely and he’s dreading the moment they reach her apartment and have to go their separate ways.

Sakura’s head whips up at the sound of his laugh and he schools his features into careful indifference, staring straight ahead as she gapes at him. 

“Did you—did you just laugh at me, Uchiha Sasuke?” she asks, incredulous. 

“Perhaps,” he responds cooly, but he knows she sees the way he fights to keep his lips from curving.

“Wait.” His arm falls from her shoulders as she comes to a sudden stop in the road. He turns to find her grinning at him, all too excited. “Do it again.”

He raises a brow. “Do what again?”

“Laugh!” She points an accusing finger at him. “After all these years the great and stoic Uchiha laughed in my presence and I didn’t even see it! Can you do it again? Pretty please?” 

She gives him her best impression of a puppy. Sasuke’s shocked to find that he nearly gives in to her. He clears his throat to collect himself. “Stop joking around, Sakura,” he says sternly. “Let’s go.”

Now she pouts, crossing her arms over her chest. “Not until you laugh again.”

Sasuke sighs. “Come on. We’re almost to your apartment.”

Sakura lifts her chin and promptly begins walking in the opposite direction. “Fine,” she says haughtily. “You can go home, then. I’m going back to the bar.”

Sasuke watches her in amusement. “Sakura,” he calls. “I’m giving you three seconds to come back here. Three.”

She turns around for a moment to stick her tongue out at him. 

“Two.”

Her hand goes up, middle finger raised. 

“One.”

Sakura squeals as she’s lifted off her feet and into Sasuke’s arms. He enjoys seeing the shock on her face when she registers that he’s now carrying her bridal style toward her apartment. He enjoys the way her cheeks flush at their close proximity even more.  

“Y—you sneaky bastard,” she breathes. 

“I gave you three seconds,” he responds matter-of-factly. “You didn’t listen.”

She opens her mouth to argue, then closes it. “Well,” she finally mumbles, “I guess I can think of worse punishments than this.”

This time when Sasuke laughs he doesn’t hold back. He tilts his head back, shoulders shaking, and there’s even tears in his eyes by the time he’s done.

His gaze locks with Sakura’s when he feels her brushing one of his tears away with her finger. She looks at him in pure, unrestrained awe.

And then, to his horror, she begins to cry.

“What’s wrong, Sakura?” he questions, thinking he’s hurt her somehow. 

She buries her face in her hands and sobs, “I have never been so happy in my life. How is this possible, Sasuke-kun?”

He relaxes slightly. “How is what possible, Sakura?” he asks in exasperation. 

She raises her head. Helplessly she says, “How is it that I’ve fallen in love with you even more? I didn’t think it was possible, yet here we are.” 

The words are a balm to his soul—they flood him with warmth, uplifting him, and he tightens his arms around her. 

He thinks of Naruto, his idiot of a friend who finally found it in him to confess to the girl who loves him after years of loving her back without her knowing.

And Sasuke thinks it’s about damn time he did the same.

“Tomorrow,” he tells Sakura—a promise. She wipes her tears away and eyes him in obvious confusion. “When you’re sober.”

“Huh? What are you talking about, Sasuke-kun?”

He simply replies, “You’ll see.”

And as she tries to bully it out of him, Sasuke thinks to himself that if his laugh was enough to make her cry out of sheer happiness, he cannot wait to see what she’ll do when he confesses.

Tomorrow couldn’t come fast enough.

AUs you didn't know you needed until now | SasuSaku

Well, in my opinion at least :P

In no particular order:

Sweet Cherry by @beatoneheart​ - It is not easy to be the daughter of Don Haruno nor to be the son of Don Uchiha, and it is certainly not easy to unite two of the most feared mafia families through marriage. (on going)

TRCG Note: This is basically an “Italian Mafia AU” for all Godfather’s fans out there. Plus: arranged marriage between powerful families, which is a treat itself! Their friendship is blossoming and growing into partnership.. it’s a slow burn of course. 🥰

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅

Trial and Error by Manhattan Chase - Life as an associate at Konoha's most revered law firm was hard enough without Sasuke Uchiha showing up. (Slow burning / on going)

TRCG Note: Both Sakura and Sasuke are lawyers. They knew each other - barely - but things starts to heat up when an unexpected change happens in the law firm Sakura works, pushing them to work closely. They hate each other, and then they don’t, and then they do.. you know the drill. Delicious slow burn! 🔥

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅

For A Cup Of Caramella by @beatoneheart​ - "Let me wake up next to you, have coffee in the morning and wander through the city with your hand in mine, and I'll be happy for the rest of my […] life." ― Charlotte Eriksson.

TRCG Note: This was surprisingly addictive! This is a Civilian/Kunoiche AU, first of the kind as far as I could find (correct me if I’m wrong), as most of the times Sakura is portrayed as the civilian. Sasuke has his own load of issues as does Sakura, and they don’t exactly fit in this world that’s half shinobi/half civilian, but they will try to make do. Lovely, and so heartbreaking *sigh*. Hopefully we’ll get an update some of these days! (*wink* *wink*, dear author-san!). Ahh quick warning/note: most of the characters’ personalities are reversed!

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅

Bet Wrong by xRaianx - Who knew Tsunade's gambling problem would rub off on the wrong member of Team seven. (Shinobi AU / not-fully-canon compliant / completed!)

TRCG Note: Ok, this is a gigantic two-shot with many twists and surprises - you won’t be able to put it down! It’s also funny, fluffy and light-hearted. Give a shot to the unpredictable tale that ‘Bet Wrong’ brings us! ❤️

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅

Hooked by pastel daisies Even as the chief of police's son, he didn't think he would get pulled over on a speeding ticket. Or felt up by an attractive police officer, that is. But by then, he was already hooked, and completely addicted. (one-shot completed).

TRCG Note: Ok, Cop!Sakura is 🔥🔥🔥! This one-shot is a big tease and it’s fun to see they dancing around each other. It was refreshing to read Sakura in another profession, and see how she got Sasuke wrapped around her finger. 😝

🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅🌸🍅

Fruition by @xxsilverechoxx​ - "B-but that's your woman, teme!" Naruto splutters. "Shouldn't you defend her honor or something? Those bastards are nearly salivating over her!" "Let them salivate all they want," Sasuke replies, smug. "I can't blame them." Such is the life of young, beautiful soccer players and their supportive boyfriends. (One-shot. Soccer AU)

TRCG Note: The girls are in a soccer team! and the boys are cheering and drooling! haha. This is an AU I never thought about before and it’s nice to see their dynamics, specially the boys proudly defending and cheering their girls. 😍

Hope you guys enjoy these stories! Make sure to drop a review with your thoughts, I’m sure the authors will love it! ❤️

~ Happy Reading!
