Spoilers for Love After Death | Chapter 2 | Rated T

Naruto watched Sakura pick at her lunch. There was a slight, sad pout on her lips that he wasn't sure there was anything he could do about. He tried to keep her smiling, but right now, he didn't even feel like smiling.

He nudged her with his knee to get her attention, but all she did was place her hand down on his leg and continue picking at her lunch. He would take it. At least she was acknowledging he was there and that he was trying to make her feel better.

Their relationship was… it had only started. They had known each other for years, so it was easy to fall into it because they were already so comfortable with each other, and he really wanted to be happy about it because it was his dream. It was everything he wanted, but it just felt a little different with Sasuke gone.

He didn't want to think about it this way, but sometimes he thought that she was only pitying him now because he was her only option. He looked out to the empty basketball court across the yard.

He missed Sasuke.

He didn't want this to be the way that he and Sakura got together.

He wanted to be able to talk to Sasuke about it. He wanted to hear him complain about how sick it made him that they were being cute together. He wanted to see him make that face he did when he told him that she was the best thing in his life. He wanted him to be there when he proposed. He wanted him to be his best man at his wedding. He wanted him to be there.

Naruto bent forward, leaning himself down to his knee.

Sakura paused, but then reacted by moving her hand from his knee to the top of his head.

✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿

Sakura sighed. He was being needy, and she didn't know how giving she could be. It wasn't that she didn't want to be. It was just hard at the moment. She ran her fingers through his hair and set down her utensils for the meal. She didn't feel like eating.

It had been hard for both of them.

Sasuke's death had been a complete shock and a reset through her entire system. She thought she had her whole life figured out. She knew what she wanted and who she wanted to spend it with. She was going to change Sasuke's mind at some point. He was going to see her eventually.

… but now he was gone.

She thought that was what killed her dreams, but in a broken moment, after a full night of crying, she had to accept that she always sort of knew that it was never going to play out the way that she wanted it to. She wasn't going to get the life that she wanted out of someone else by just brute forcing it.

He never wanted it.

He never wanted her.

And she was holding on to it because she didn't want it to be true.

That moment of clarity made her realize what she really wanted. She wanted someone who wanted her. She wanted someone who wanted her to be as happy as she wanted Sasuke to want her to be happy.

She latched on to Sasuke with her dreams, when what she really wanted was to be the center of her man's world.

It made her feel stupid. Naruto had always been there waiting for her. No matter how many times she yelled at him, turned him down, or told him it was never going to happen. He stayed because it wasn't just that he thought she was attractive. He wanted her to be happy, even if it wasn't with him. He stuck around not because he thought there was still a chance, but because he wanted to be her friend and hear about her day, to make her laugh, to comfort her when she cried.

Yeah, he was a big goof that she needed to beat sense into on occasion, but he was earnest, and he did love her.

She just… She just wished that was what she had spent her time on. She wished that it didn't take Sasuke dying for her to figure that out.

But she couldn't go back now.

Kiba sat back, watching Akumaru flail happily in the grass. It was a nice sunny weekend. Good. He was so sick of seeing the rain. If he could have his way, he would never see rain again. Maybe he would move to the desert.

Shino took a sip of his juice and lifted his face to the sun, taking it in. 

It was such a nice day, but there was someone missing. He could almost see Hinata out there in the grass giggling as Akumaru tossed around, or her placing flowers in his fur when he stopped to just bask in the sun.

The poor pup always looked so disappointed just to see Shino. He sniffed around him for a sign of her scent on him, but he didn't seem to understand that she wasn't coming back, and he didn't know how to tell him that.

Their days were quiet now.

Hinata was always their center. She was the reason they had all become friends. She was the reason they really went anywhere together. Without her, there was a void and almost a distance between him and Shino that he was trying to fill by just hanging out like this, but he didn't think that it was ever going to be the same again.

✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿

The sun was going down, and Shino walked down the quiet sidewalks alone. Spending time with Kiba felt different now. It was like neither of them knew what to talk about. Before, it was always one step away from being about Hinata, and that seemed to be what they were both avoiding.

Talks about their weekend would have led to where Hinata wanted to go, or if Hinata would be allowed to come. Talks about tests would have been around how Hinata was feeling about it and if she could help Kiba with his studying. Talks about food would have been about finding something Hinata would like to eat. Talks about the dog would even lead to how excited Hinata would be to see him again.

Shino felt like he was being haunted by the thought of her. He could almost imagine her walking here beside him, quiet because she was tired, dragging her feet unintentionally.

He glanced up at the street he was on and took the turn, then looked back down at his feet.

Then he stopped cold.

He didn't need to go this way. This was the long way home past her house that he would take to drop her off.

Shino felt a stab to his heart that rippled up to his face, scrunching it miserably.

The imaginary Hinata walked past him, heading toward her house, but he knew she wasn't really there, and there was no reason for him to take her this way to make sure she got home safe.

… He missed her.

✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿

Hinata padded through the dark halls, glancing around at the rooms that were only dimly lit but the streetlamps outside. Incredibly quiet. It felt abandoned and lifeless without a single soul inside. Well, living soul.

It was strange to see a building that was usually so full of life and noise to be so completely still and quiet. It felt like she shouldn't be here. In a way, she assumed she shouldn't be. She didn't know what to do now. She didn't know where else to go. She didn't need to sleep.

She should find something to do to entertain herself. There was a library, maybe she could find so books to read. She didn't know how long she would be here. Could she read all of them?

Her thoughts were broken by a shadow passing through the opening to the next hall.

Hinata blinked. Was there someone else here?

She headed down the hall to follow it. Coming to the end of the hall and taking the direction she had seen them go. She saw the back of another student walking down the hall. What were they doing this late?

She followed them down the hall until he stopped and tilted his head. She paused as well, wondering if she was going to find out now what he was here for, but what she wasn't expecting was for him to turn around and look directly at her.

“Stop following me.” He told her harshly.

Hinata squeaked and jumped back, covering her mouth. He could see her?! How?

The student looked just as startled as she was, despite scolding her. He looked like he wasn't expecting her to hear him.

They stared there at each other for a long moment, neither of them moving, neither of them seemingly knowing what to do next.

Who was he?

Love After Death

Pairing: Sasuke x Hinata Rating: T Tags: Romance | Modern AU | Ghosts | Fluff/Angst | Happy Ending

Hinata and Sasuke are dead. They don’t know how or why. All they know is not they are dead and wandering around a school that it seems like they attended while they were alive.

I was all over the place today, probably because I got a nearly full fleshed out plot idea after I posted my word count yesterday that threw off my sleep schedule... oops~

Day 2: June 16 | Daily Report

I actually had a good day today. It kind of got a little busy because I had to rush through things because I slept in, but other than that, I’m happy. I finally got a lot more words done, but I’m thinking of putting time aside much earlier in the day to write because I didn’t get to finish my step count, but I’m still happy with it. One thing I noticed today is that since I didn’t drink coffee, I ended up finishing 2 liters much earlier in the day. I don’t know if I will continue that since I absolutely enjoy having coffee, but I think I might just have less of it tomorrow, and see if that works as well 💖💛

I am calling it for the day.

I already finished the story I put aside specificity for this retreat on only the first day (Car Trouble). Maybe I shouldn't be surprised I didn't think it would be that long, now I will work through Teething. I have about 35 more scenes, we will see have far I get this retreat.

I hope everyone is having fun! Remember, you can join at any time and do a little or as much as you want! This is all about having fun and making some progress!

See you again tomorrow.

Day 1: July 15 | Daily Report

I’m honestly pretty happy with my first day. I started out with my 30 minutes exercise and did all of the other things throughout the day. I think I would like to finish my steps much earlier than I did on the first day, because I was up till around 10:30pm for that, and I was writing after that. I think I like the routine and I might see what changes work best by tweaking things around the next few days 💖💛

Day 2 | Questions of the Day Lav's Writing Retreat | July 2026

✿ What part of the writing process do you enjoy the least? ✿

My Answer: Editing. This is why we have the lovely editor @nikandrros.

Tell us your answer below.

[hyba]

Hmm, this applies to my writing process on a more personal mental level more than anything else, but I've been frustrated lately because I have been dealing with a really short attention span and a difficulty focusing, so when I sit down to write, I'll generally write one or two things and then end up staring at nothing at all for another three hours.

It's made actually sitting down and attempting to continue drafting my current piece so difficult and not very enjoyable at all.

But some days are like that, I guess. It'll pass. And then I'll be writing again, and all will be well with the world. ^^

But if I must choose a specific phase: the muddy middle when drafting. I will never find the muddy middle in any way enjoyable.

[lavender-long-stories]

Oh I feel you on the days that you just want to write but it doesn't feel like you're actually getting anywhere.

Annoyingly the only solution is to keep trying until you catch that hook. This is usually where I try to switch projects and hope that something else will catch my attention.

We just have to chip at it until the story is done.
