14She felt him approach rather than heard him, but of course it would be that way. Sasuke's always been extremely unnecessarily quiet. A feat that came in handy sometimes, but was it really necessary to use to stealth and agility when tracking her down while she was on her rounds in the hospital?
She turned her attention back to the matter at hand.
"Just next time please make sure that everyone second checks the dosage amount on the medications. If it looks wrong, it never hurts to ask." Sakura reminded the batch on interns around her, though by the looks on most of their faces, they had clearly already drowned her out and were focusing on the Uchiha behind her.
"Understood?" she questioned, and in return she only got one or two murmur a yes
She rolled her eyes before dismissing them.
Turning around she was face to face with him, well really his chest but nevertheless, she glanced up to him and to find his deep onyx eyes staring straight into her. As incredibly hot she thinks he is when he has his sharingan and rinnegan activated, it's these eyes that still manage to take her breath away every time. The eyes she fell in love with.
"How was your sparring match with Naruto." She asked him, unconsciously scanning his body to see if she could find any visible wounds.
"I'm fine." He told her, "He's the one who might need some fixing."
"Sasuke-kun!" she scolded him. To which he just let out a small chuckle before lifting two fingers up and poking her yin seal, something that always caused her cheeks to turn a beautiful crimson red color.
"Are you done for the day?" he questioned her.
"Uh-yeah,"
"Then dinner?"
"Yeah, just let me get a few things from my office." She led them back to her office, where he stood at the doorway observing her while she scattered around gathering everything she needed to. She had a bunch of medical files piled up, that he assumed she was taking home to study. She stuffed them all in a filing box and then went back to her desk for her purse. She placed her purse on top of the box and then was about to lift it when he stopped her.
"Let me help." He motioned to her holding out his hand.
Sakura paused a moment before responding. "Sure, Sasuke-kun," then taking her purse and putting it in his out stretched hand. She then turned back to her box full of files and hoisted it up into her arms.
"Okay, I'm ready Sasuke-kun." She said as she made her way towards the door, only to have him block her.
"You're doing it again," Sasuke sighed.
Sakura looked up at him quizzically. "Doing what?" she questioned him.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes at her before looking down to the box she was carrying in her hands. Then back down to the small bag he had in his right hand. She always does this. She always tried too hard to help him lift and carry things worried he'll strain himself or something. She acts as if he were disabled, to which he scoffs. He know that she is just trying to help him but he does find it rather annoying at moments.
"Trade with me." He motioned to her by holding up the bag.
"Sasuke-kun I—" she started to protest before he cut her off.
"Sakura, give me the box." Biting her lip she looked down and shifted the box in her arms, and as much as she tried to hide it, he saw her steal a glance at his left arm or rather what was left of it. Sasuke stiffened a moment before he put the purse on top of the box and in one fluid motion he scooped the box out of her hand and hoisted it onto his right shoulder and before she could stop him he was already out the door and down the hallway. She sighed and quickly locked up her office and followed after him.
The walk back to Sakura's apartment was silent, while that wasn't so unusual it was a different type of silent. It wasn't comfortable and peaceful like it normally is. This silence was awkward and tense, a silence that neither of them refused to break. Neither one turned to look at each other. When they reached her apartment he stepped aside and watched as she took out her keys to unlock it. Once in Sakura headed straight to the kitchen and Sasuke set the box down in the foyer and followed after her. She had her head stuck in the fridge when he entered.
"Sakura," he called out to her
No answer.
"Saku—"
"Do you want me to make some onigiri …. or would you like something diff.." she trailed off. From the way her shoulders were slightly trembling Sasuke could tell she was about to cry and like always he cursed himself, cause he's the cause of it.
He walked over to her and pulled her out of the fridge. He turned her toward himself and wrapped his arm around her. She took the opportunity to bury her face in his chest and let out a muffled sob.
"I just want to help you so badly." She cried clutching his shirt. "Why don't you let me!?" she wailed.
"You're gone for months on end and I have no idea if you're coming back or not sometimes. I can't even sleep sometimes because I worry if you're eating right and taking care of yourself. I just for once really wish you would depend on me!"
He stroked her hair as he pressed his lips against the crown of her head.
"I do, more than you will ever know."
She looked up at him.
He took a breath before he started.
"Knowing that you're here waiting for me, supporting me… knowing that I finally have someone to return home to, it … it makes the world of difference."
Upon hearing that Sakura just sobbed even harder.
And as he continued to hold her as she cried into his chest, damping his shirt and the cold air from the refrigerator hitting his back he thought, he's never been more at peace than he is now. As difficult as it was to tell her these things, it's the truth. As much as he'd love to say that Sakura's the one whose dependent on him, it's really the other way around. She's his rock, the one he can always depend on. The one who shone a light into his crazy twisted world. The one who loved him all this time. And for that he will never stop thanking her.
