star stains

Pairing: Haruno Sakura/Kankuro, Previous Haruno Sakura/Nara Shikamaru

Rating: T for swearing and smoking

Word Count: 1.4K

Summary: You can't tether a kite with gossamer threads.

AO3

a/n: It's been a long time since posting and came up with this story super randomly. I feel like in my past work, there was almost a formula, and things felt too similar across fics. Not that this is a huge departure, but I think it feels a little different?? Let me know what you thought, it feels good to be writing again!

“We should end things,” Kankuro says.

Sakura doesn’t stop portioning dried herbs and flower petals into two sachets.

“Why now?” she asks.

He runs a hand over his unpainted face and watches as she measures her handiwork to the gram.

“It’s just time, I think,” he states simply.

“Can I at least finish my tea?” she asks, placing the silk muslin into two mugs.

He fills shallow dishes with hard biscuits and listens to the water boil. Taking a seat, he studies the wood grain. They had built it together over the course of a week. He called it an intro to woodworking. She said his previous table--a concrete slab that used to be a workstation--was an abomination.

In the early days of her diplomacy work, they’d meet at a dusty conference room in the village hospital to discuss a collaboration to share catalogs and samples of plants to advance research. Kankuro wanted total access to the Nara and Aburame libraries and Sakura told him she’d rather milk every spider species native to Suna than tell that to the clan heads.

But now, she slides into the chair in front of him and sets his mug over an indent he had been meaning to sand over.

“I want my notes back by the end of the week,” she says idly. “And I want to take the snake venom samples back to Konoha.”

His hair rises, but he ignores the urge to rub the back of his neck.

“You’ll leave?”

Sakura rolls her eyes and Kankuro can’t help the cold sweat that’s bloomed.

“It’s been 9 months, Kankuro,” she says evenly. “My work here is done.”

“I thought it was done 3 months ago,” he snarks.

“I was under the impression there’d be more to do.” She takes a sip of her tea and crosses her arms. “Let’s cut the bullshit, you and I both know I’ll win this game.”

He sighs. She’s right. There’s a reason why Gaara’s the Kazekage and Temari's the diplomatic liaison. He’s never really had the patience for roundabout conversations.

“Out with it,” she snaps impatiently. “What is it this time?”

He grimaces. “It’s the council again. They want me to marry soon and--”

“You said you and your siblings were abandoning tradition after your father’s reign,” Sakura said pointedly. “Gaara said the council’s still scared after he lost his shit during the chunin exams.”

“I always forget he kind of has a sense of humor these days,” Kankuro chuckles wryly to himself.

Sakura hides her mouth with a biscuit.

“I’m taking partial credit for that,” she says through bites.

“He’ll miss you, you know.”

“I’m sure we’ll become great penpals.”

.

Across a three day trek to the east, Shikamaru balances a cigarette between two fingers, comparing it to the clouds above him.

“Sakura’s coming back soon,” Ino says next to him.

He rummages his flak vest for his lighter and sighs, “It’s about time.”

“She never really loved it out there, you know,” Ino says.

He hears her start to sharpen kunai, quick and precise like their fathers taught them.

“I always thought she suited Suna though,” Shikamaru says. “All the reds and oranges of the desert match her hair.” The methodical ringing stops. “And all the poisonous animals for her to have fun with,” he drawls.

“Shikamaru--”

He interrupts her with a long exhale that she endures unblinking, even as her face three feet away from him becomes shrouded in smoke.

“What you did was fucked up and--”

Shikamaru covers his ears with his hands and groans. It had been nine months and he thought Ino would let it go. It’d been nine months and he figured she’d berated him enough for it. It had been nine months and he couldn’t help that he had felt immediately taken by Temari when she arrived in Konoha, just hours after Sakura had departed.

“Can’t you let it go,” Shikamaru complains, “Sakura has.”

He listens to the birds rustling in the treetops surrounding them, the quiet buzz of the cicadas, and wonders when the first cool breeze will break through this late summer.

“Just because she didn’t come straight back to Konoha and beat the shit out of you doesn’t mean she wasn’t hurt,” Ino says.

He feels the daggers she’s shooting at the back of the head and she picks up her whetstone again.

“And just because she didn’t come back,” she swipes at her kunai faster, “and beat the shit out of you when Temari broke the news to her instead of you,” Shikamaru burrows his head further into his arms, “doesn’t mean you didn’t obliterate her confidence,” she huffs. “And her heart,” she mutters.

“I know, Ino” Shikamaru groans, “she sent me a very detailed letter about me being the scourge of the planet and sent a recipe for hair growth.” He drags himself up to a sitting position and grinds his half-smoked cigarette under his boot.

“I felt like a fucking dick, but I figured she wasn’t that mad since she bothered to send a letter. And we had already ended things.”

Ino groans and throws her kunai to the side. “You’re a fucking moron, Shika.”

“Thank you, Ino.”

“No, I’m serious.” She throws her head back and groans again. “Fuck, give me a cigarette.”

He silently passes her one and holds his silver lighter out.

“Sasuke,” Ino spits, “joining a terrorist organization really chilled her out,” she snarks. “Unsurprisingly, her appetite for violence was replaced with uhm, what was it again?” she feigns confusion, “right, depression.”

“God, I fucking needed this,” she moans and Shikamaru watches as the tip of the cigarette burns orange and gives away to ash.

Itching for a drag, Shikamaru busies himself with a stray pebble that made its way up to the rooftop.

.

“Look,” Kankuro starts, “Temari’s with Nara--”

Sakura ignores the dull throbbing at the base of her head.

“--and Gaara’s never going to get married, so it’s my responsibility as an heir to continue the lineage.”

“That’s very selfless of you,” Sakura says.

Kankuro deflates in his chair. Fights with her have always been like this. Bitter and sharp even though he knows it takes so little for her to smile. He thinks of a dark-haired ronin in his bingo book and the jounin who’s been keeping his sister away for months.

He pushes away his mug and meets her eyes. Green in a way that would never occur in Suna.

“I’m sorry I said I love you,” he says. “I know we said this would be casual, but I couldn’t help it.”

She holds his gaze and bridges the gap across the table, taking his hands in hers. Both warmed by the tea and calloused with years of work.

“Don’t be sorry,” she murmurs, eyes slipping to his shoulder, “this was always going to be the ending.” She squeezes his hands and smiles.

“I love you.” And she says it with the earnestness that won him over in the first place. “I’m glad we met each other.”

.

“Whether she likes it or not--I’m sure she does not like it--Konoha is always going to be home to her,” Ino says, lying back on the rooftop.

Shikamaru works on dislodging a stick between two shingles.

“You don’t think she’ll follow her mentor’s steps and travel the world?”

“As an alcoholic with a gambling problem?” Ino raises a well groomed brow.

“Right,” he says.

She ignores him and flips on her front, resting a cheek on crossed arms.

“I thought she’d like it out there,” she says, eyes downward. “I thought she’d love bossing people around and teaching the hospital staff and feeling important.” She frowns. “I thought she’d find herself in Suna and maybe stay for a few years or meet someone, or--” she cuts herself off by closing her eyes.

“I just wanted her to forget about Naruto and Sasuke and you, honestly,” she finishes.

He feigns slumber, but Ino knows better.

“I’ve missed her so much,” she says while rolling her eyes. “I miss her and Tenten and Tsunade and I know even you miss her a little.”

She rolls towards him and splays an arm across his neck. “Ugh, she’s never going to leave the village for some hot foreign shinobi. What a bitch,” she says fondly.

“Such is life,” Shikamaru adds.

“Messy,” Ino counters.

“Hard,” he agrees.

Ino groans, “Troublesome.”

Actually, you know what? Gaara is as invested as Kakashi when it comes to the relationships of his friends and people he knows.

Gaara is a romantic, he wants people to find love and admire when they fight for it. He's just more private and respectful, so he won't directly ask pe intervene or tease the couples like Kakashi does.

I just think that Kankuro and Temari give him the gossip instead. Ino passes the message of what is happening on Konoha through Shikamaru and he tells Temari. Otherwise is all about Naruto sending Gaara letters, Sakura sitting with him to talk when she goes to check medic stuff or, of course, when Gaara finds the time and the excuse to visit them.

Now it makes me wonder. Is him another victim of the Icha-Icha joke, where the same copy of the book has been passed hand to hand, disguised as a gift or something? Naruto would do it.

Just for the laughs of it.

Kankuro: You can stay with Gaara in his bedroom.

Naruto: It is pretty late.

Gaara: Do you want to stay over?

Naruto: Yes.

Gaara: I mean, I could sleep in the sofa and you could sleep in my bed. I don’t mind.

Kankuro: Okay. I’m confused.

Temari: What’s going on here? Oh, don’t tell me! A lover’s quarrel?

Naruto: A what now?

Gaara: No. No. I mean, we’re just…

Naruto: Friends!

Gaara: He’s my most precious friend.

Kankuro/Temari: Hahahahahahaha!

Gaara: …

Naruto: …

Temari: I’ve heard a lot of stupid lies in my life. But, this one takes the cake.

Kankuro: I’m with you, Temari. Just friends? You’ve gotta be kidding us? No one would ever believe this lie.

Naruto: But, it’s not a lie.

Kankuro: You’re young and attractive.

Temari: You’ve got chemistry. You’ve got history.

Kankuro: Plus, the real shit… shared trauma.

Gaara: …

Naruto: …

Temari: It is plain as day to see that you two were meant for each other.

Kankuro: It is a curse to see so clearly. You, Naruto, are afraid to let people see you for who you really are and retrieve back to the safety of… *snaps fingers* name? *snaps fingers* name?

Gaara: *venomous tone* Hinata Hyūga.

Naruto: *eyes open wide and he turns to look at the scowling Gaara*

Temari: Awww, that Hyūga girl?

Kankuro: *talks in a teasing tone* Do we like Hinata?

Naruto: Yes! I like Hinata. Yes.

Temari: But, we don’t LOVE Hinata.

Naruto: What? No… that’s not… I mean…

Gaara: *face lights up as he watches a lost for words Naruto trying to deny the obvious.*

Kankuro: …

Temari: …

Naruto: I… I… I… I do.

Kankuro: There it is, lady and gentlemen. The second biggest lie I’ve heard in my life.
