A/N: For SasuSaku Month 2018 Day 1: Heroes
Disclaimer: song lyrics “Heroes” is by Alesso. I don’t own the lyrics, neither do I own Naruto.
“We could be heroooooeeees!”
Sasuke closed his eyes.
“Me and yooooouuuuu!”
He took a deep breath, and sighed.
“Weee could beeeeeeee!” The beat dropped, and Sakura started dancing wildly as she held on to the microphone. Naruto jumped from his seat and started dancing with her. It wasn’t long until Ino joined as well.
Sasuke pinched the bridge of his nose. He really didn’t want to be here, in a small Kareoke room, crammed with all of their friends. But he was still sitting on the couch, as he had been for more than four hours for two reasons: Naruto dragged him here, and Sakura was here.
He eyed the empty shot glasses on the table and then slowly shifted his gaze back to Sakura. Her cheeks were flushed, she had a wide grin on her face, and she kept singing horribly off key. No one cared, though. They were all too drunk to notice. All except Sasuke.
In his sober state, he was able to see Sakura in a new state of rawness. She had always been carefree, and fun loving, but this was a different level. She was wild. Although he thought that he wouldn’t like it, he found it strangely endearing that she could easily toss her worries and inhibitions away. The corner of Sasuke’s lips tugged upwards and he took a sip of his beer. He would let her have fun tonight. She deserved a break, and to unwind. He would be there to take her home and take care of her in the morning, anyway. What were husbands for, right?
For the most part going home, Sakura didn’t put up a fight, or caused any fuss. She would softly mumble and sing, half-asleep, all drunk. He smirked when she started saying sweet yet incoherent things to him. Finally, they reached their home. It was a small flat, being a newly married couple, they didn’t need much space. Times like tonight, he was thankful everything was so near each other.
Carefully, Sasuke placed her down on the bed. When Sakura shifted and made a move to make herself comfortable, Sasuke stood up and turned to leave to take a shower. However, he stopped in his tracks when he heard her speak.
“Sasuke-kun?”
“Aa.” He glided back towards the bed and knelt by the bed to hear her properly.
“Do you think…” Her eyes were closed, and her lips kept moving, but little to no sound was coming out. “Do… you…”
He inched his face closer to hers to hear her better.
“Do you think I can be… a hero?”
Sasuke smirked and brushed her pink locks out her face. “You’re already a hero, Sakura.”
A soft smile graced her lips and she opened her eyes before whispering, “You’re a hero, too.”
He opened his mouth to retort, but she stopped him by whining, “No arguiiiing! I’m tiiiired and sleepyyyyy! Get in heeeereeee.”
Sasuke sighed and a low chuckle escaped his throat. “I have such a demanding wife.” He took his shirt and pants off before climbing into bed. Sakura eagerly gravitated towards him and rested her head on his chest. He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close to him.
If only she knew how much of a hero he saw her to be.
If only he knew how much of a hero she saw him to be.
Perhaps they could discuss that in the morning but for now, sleep.
