“Still angry with Sasuke-kun, huh forehead?”

“Shut it, Ino-pig. It’s his fault anyway.”

Dr. Haruno Sakura and her best friend slash famous psychiatrist Yamanaka Ino entered the white hallways of Konoha Hospital. “I won’t be the first to say sorry.”

The blonde gave her friend a look. “Really now?”

“Yep. I have ER duty so I’ll be too busy to even think about it.”

As they entered the emergency room, they were greeted with the sight of three men, bloodied and almost deformed, being wheeled inside.

“Ino hold my bag!” Sakura immediately tied her hair and proceeded to one of the patients. Blue eyes scanned the sight before her, gazing at her best friend who is in her element. She’s born to be a doctor, she mused. That’s why she’s so good at it.

She left the busy ER and proceeded to go to her office. Ino felt something vibrating on Sakura’s bag. When she fished out her phone, she found 10 missed calls and five messages – all from Sasuke.

.

Hey. I’m off to the office now.

.

At least when I’m angry, I still text where I am.

.

I thought we agreed to let each other know where the other is so that we won’t worry. Just because we fought doesn’t mean that deal in invalid anymore.

.

Sakura? Why aren’t you answering your phone?

.

You’re giving me the silent treatment now?

.

Ino wanted to laugh. Seriously, their couple fights are too cute. She decided to reply for Sakura, knowing that she’ll be stuck in her job for a while more.

.

Sasuke, this is Ino. Sakura’s at the ER.

.

After clicking send, she sat down on her chair and proceeded to finish her paperworks. After a while, her own phone rang.

“Hello? Sasuke?”

“Ino! What happened to Sakura?!”

She was surprised at Sasuke’s urgent tone. “Haaaa? She’s at the ER now.”

“I’m going there now! What happened to her?! An accident? Did she faint from exhaustion?! Ino tell me!”

The blonde was momentarily speechless. He was still screaming at the other line, she was almost worried for him.

“Sasuke calm down! if you get into a car accident Sakura will kill me!”

“I’m near the hospital now. How is she?”

When it finally dawned on her, Ino laughed out loud. “Oh my gosh! Sasuke! Sakura’s fine! Your girlfriend is a renowned doctor, remember? She has ER duty.”

She was busy laughing to notice that the person she’s talking to fell silent. When her laughter subsided, Sasuke added. “What the hell, Ino!”

“Since you’re almost here, why don’t you just come and say sorry? But be willing to wait, okay? I’m sure she’s having a toxic day. Don’t add up to her problems.”

Ino ended the call and laughed again. She rushed towards the emergency room at found Sakura at the vending machine outside it, getting her caffeine fix.

“Forehead! I have something funny to tell you!”

They both sat down at a bench. “What is it, Ino?”

“Wait. First of all, are you okay?”

Sakura let out a tired sigh. “Yeah. We managed to stabilize them. Car accident.”

“Your boyfriend could have been another patient not so long ago, you know. Car accident too, probably.”

Green eyes widened. “Ino! What happened to him?!”

As the blonde relayed what happened, Sakura wanted to kill her best friend for almost giving her boyfriend a heart attack but was too amused with Sasuke’s overreaction.

“His brain left him, I tell you.

Even if it was just for a moment, I now know that even a chill guy like Sasuke can break down once in a while too.

You guys talk it over, okay?”

When Ino left Sakura at the bench, Sasuke appeared, locking his eyes with hers as he approached. He sat down beside her, both silent for a few minutes.

“Are you okay, Sakura?”

She gave him a small smile. “Yeah. Just taking a break.”

More silence.

“I’m sorry,” the two blurted out loud simultaneously. When they looked at each other, Sakura broke out into a cheeky grin and Sasuke smirked. She rested her head on his shoulder,their hands intertwined.

“I’ll never forget this day, Sasuke-kun.”

His onyx eyes rolled as he groaned. “How annoying.”

Title: A Step at a Time

Rating: K+/PG

Notes: I apologise for the extreme lateness of this story. I had the plot but I’ve been unable to concentrate and at most, I could write a few lines each time I sat down, and suddenly, as I decided to go to bed, frustrated, I got inspired…

There are a couple of references to chapters 2 and 3, I hope you remember them after so long ^^

As always, if there’s something wrong (spaces, brackets…), please, tell me. I hope you enjoy it 🙂

A STEP AT A TIME

Sighing tiredly, Sasuke sat down on his chair, leaning back, closing his eyes and combing his hair back with his fingers. He had just finished his third meeting that day and his head was full of figures, charts and data, all mixed up. He turned his chair and faced the windows behind his desk. From there, he could see most of the relatively near skyscrapers in the financial centre of Tokyo, tall, magnificent with the glass of their windows reflecting the sun.

He was a man of stately presence but he wasn’t overbearing. His quietness, his calm demeanor and his soft voice—he was like a flame, burning slowly, faintly and never bursting.

There was an air of tranquility around him now, as though he was at peace, not with the world as Sakura knew it was too soon, the wounds still fresh but at least, he looked like he was at peace with himself.

She’d caught him many times in his hospital room staring out the window with a distant look. The sight wasn’t anything extraordinary from his fourth floor room; red leaves falling down from the trees and above the skies forever changing as time passed. It was a nice sight, Sakura conceded, but Sasuke was never one to study nature like it was art.

Besides, she knew that look. She’d seen it before.

That faraway look, that look of wonder.

He wanted to leave. It was only a matter of time before he did and even Naruto wouldn’t be able to make him stay; this time, he wasn’t leaving to cultivate his anger and his hate.

He wasn’t leaving for power.

For what exactly, Sakura wasn’t sure but he was like a hawk, looking into the horizon for something only he could see and what he was looking for, it wasn’t in Konoha.

Still, he came back to them and he was here, at least for now. What they had now, even if it lasted only a moment—with everything that happened between them, it was enough. She loved him and she knew he cared for her and it was enough.

“Hi, Sasuke-kun,” Sakura greeted him when she entered his room. Walking up to him, she held up her grocery bag and said, “This time, I brought you some apples. I have some time to spare before I have to go to work. Want me to peel them for you?”

He looked at her for a moment, then slowly nodded his head, “Please.”

He was going to leave but in those fleeting moments they spent together, she knew they would be alright.
