SasuSaku Month 2017
Day 2: Something More

“You’re in love with her.” It’s Ino who speaks, Sasuke turns
to her the question evident in his eyes. How
do you know? He’s ready to deny it, ready to scoff and turn to look
elsewhere, but despite himself when he turns away from Ino his gaze falls back
to Sakura.

“Everyone knows…except her that is.” Ino seems to take his
silence as an invitation to continue. “I knew before anyone else.” Her voice is
filled with pride, Sasuke scoffs at her. “I knew from the Forest of Death.”
Sasuke tries to tune her out and focus his attention on Sakura as she heals
Kiba who had just taken a heavy beating from Naruto.

“You should tell her, you know.” Ino keeps insisting. His
attention is still on Sakura who turns to scold Naruto for taking yet another
sparring match too far.

“If it’s as obvious as you say it is then she’ll figure it
out.” Sasuke replies. It takes him a moment to realize he just confirmed Ino’s
speculation, but what the hell, why try and hide it when he can barely keep his
eyes off her.

“She won’t. And I think it’s your turn to go the extra mile,
don’t you?” Just then Sakura turns in her gaze toward their direction. His
heart skips a beat as her expression goes from annoyed to bright in an instant,
a dazzling smile forming on her lips as she meets his gaze.
