Prompt: Side By Side, Sasusaku Day 2

Summary: I’m your wife Sasuke-kun, so depend on me.

If there’s anything Sasuke’s learnt about his wife
over the past few months of their travelling it’s the fact that she’s
annoyingly stubborn. 

He’d always known she was persistent, more so than even Naruto but the streak
of stubbornness was something that he’d just discovered. 

When they were genin Sakura’s main objective had been to agree with almost
everything that he said her stubbornness only surfacing the few times she chose
to defy him. 

But now they were on equal terms, well at least that’s what most people seemed
to think but the fact of the matter was that Sakura had him completely wrapped
around her finger which is why Sakura more often than not got her way,
stubbornly disagreeing to everything he said.

He never thought he’d actually say this but he missed the Sakura Haruno who
used to follow him around like a puppy, her eyes wide and bright as she asked
him to go on dates with her. 

“Sasuke-kun!” Grown up, Sakura Uchiha argued,“Do you think I’m
an invalid?“ 

Calling her invalid is nothing short of a joke especially when he’s seen what
she’s capable of. Sasuke has never been one to crack jokes either and he
certainly won’t ever make the mistake of saying this. 

"No.” He says irritatedly,“I’m just telling you to sit this one
out." 

"But why?" 

He gives her a pointed look. 

You know. 

She looks back at him green eyes confused. 

Know what? 

He sighs. 

"You’re pregnant." 

While Sakura doesn’t really look pregnant, it’s barely been three months since
they found out, Sasuke has already become overprotective treating her like she
was incapable of doing anything in her own. 

While at first Sakura glowed under the attention being showered upon her, the
effect wore off really quickly and caused the two of them bicker endlessly. 

"So what difference does it make?" 

He looks at her dumbly. 

"Sakura stop being annoying." 

"Sasuke-kun!” She whines,“If anyone should sit this one out it
should be you. You’ve been out of sorts for days now with that fever of yours
and you refuse to even let me come near you to treat you.”

“It’s nothing serious.” Sasuke persists, it’s true that he’s been
feeling lightheaded and feverish for the past few days but it’s nothing he
can’t handle. He’s got sick plenty of times before when he was alone and he’s
handled it perfectly well. 

Besides he doesn’t want to risk getting Sakura sick, for her pregnancy seems to
be hard enough as it is with her puking every morning like clockwork. 

Surprisingly Sakura doesn’t mind, she bounces right back after it with a bright
and happy smile on her face never once complaining. Sasuke knows that it takes
a toll on her however unnoticeable it may be and has made the resolution to
help ease her pregnancy in anyway he can.

“I’m fine.” Sasuke states,“I don’t want you to get sick by
coming near me. Especially not now.”

His eyes flicker to her stomach for extra emphasis.

Sakura rolls her eyes. 

“I’m fine.” He insists,“And as I was saying. You can sit this
one out.”

“No.”

He blinks. Sakura has rarely been this adamant about anything and almost never been
this curt with him. The only reason she’s not got around to treating him yet is
because Sasuke has been extra vigilant to flash step out of her way and even
take another room in the inn they are staying just to be safe. 

She’s tolerated this behaviour for the past few days to humour him (actually it
was more on the lines of getting a break from his overprotective hovering) but
she was starting to reach the end of her patience. 

“There are children there Sasuke, if they’re hurt, you don’t have the medical
expertise to treat them, I do. In fact right now you’re a pretty sad excuse for
a shinobi because you’re sick and you won’t let me treat you. So you’re damn
well going to take me along with you or else I’ll go on my own."
