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."

Day 3: Restless

All Uchiha Sasuke wanted to do right now is sleep.

He tried to stifle a yawn that escaped him as his eyes never left the figure of his childhood friend slash neighbour who was busy talking with the manager of the bookstore they’re currently in.

Last night, he finished his History project due next week in order to have a lazy weekend ahead of him. Really, he just wanted to spend his Saturday in the comfort of his own bed and wake up in the afternoon. Now he’s kinda regretting why he even went down to the kitchen this morning to get a glass of water.

SS Month Day 3: Restless

The past few nights have been extremely difficult for me to sleep, every time I almost drift off into the dream world I get jostled awake. My hands rub soothingly against the large area of my stomach trying to persuade the growing child to let me rest. Sasuke-kun thought it would be a good idea to stay at Karin’s hideout until I give birth, which could be any day now. At first she was skeptical but we quickly became close. It took my husband by surprise since he knew that she held feelings her him still and had expressed her dislike for me years ago. To me it’s all water under the bridge.

My mind has led me to her lab where she’s working on some new antibiotic pills for the sick children in the land of waves. I wish I could help but with my current state even my chakra doesn’t seem to last as long. Probably because our child’s chakra signature interferes with my own and throws me off balance.

I knock on the door frame before walking in. Her red hair is thrown up into a messy ponytail and she pays to the spot on the bench beside her.

“You should be sleeping.” She scolds absentmindedly, we all know that it’s impossible. I shrug my shoulders and take the microscope to watch the bacteria diminish from the anti bodies.

“So should you.” It’s well past midnight and normally Karin is already passed out in her room.

“He’s already up looking for you.” Of course he is. Every night we do this same game of hide and seek. Mentally I’m counting to a hundred before he walks in the room.

“Oh well. How has your research been going?” The other day she asked me how I broke down Sasori’s poison so fast. After a few hours of explaining she was able to come close to the antidote. As far as medics go Karin is one of the best, but not close enough to Shishou and I. She knows this and that’s why she doesn’t mind my late night interruptions.

“I’m just waiting for Lord Orochimaru to send me the herbs I requested.” I can’t hold back the shiver that runs through my spine. Even after all these years I can’t help but be scared of the snake sannin. Honestly I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to stand being around him after everything.

Both of our eyes redirect to the doorway, Sasuke-kun has his arm propped against his hip and his hair is slightly messy from sleeping. Looks like my game is over.

“Good night Karin.” My body takes longer to rise from the bench but thankfully both Karin and Sasuke-kun help me keep my balance. Exiting the lab, he leads me back towards our room and I can’t help but sigh.

“You should be resting Tsuma.” He’s not scolding me, the worry in his voice is evidence of that. He’s just worried.

“I’ll try, but sooner or later I’m going to be wandering around the halls again.” He guides me to the edge of the bed as I plop down on the soft mattress. His body falls behind mine and pulls me tightly against him, my back pressed firmly against his chest. A lone hand traces the curves of my stomach causing a smile to form on my face. It’s moments like these that make me thankful to have him as a husband.

“EXCUSE ME,” said a reporter for the daily Konoha news. “But, I’m asking you all some questions, and I would really appreciate it if you would answer them!”

“Uh, Sensei,” began Sakura beside him. She gave him a “told you so” kind of look.

“Do not engage and she’ll go away,” he answered in his smooth voice. Sakura could see how calm he was by his face, so she guessed he had things under control as usual.

“If you believe that,” said Sasuke beside her, he had his hands casually in his pockets and looked bored despite their current situation. “Then why do you look so nervous?”

Huh? Thought Sakura, peering at her sensei more closely. Kakashi sensei noticed her more direct stare, not saying anything. Well, Sakura smirked to herself, she thought he was in control.

“Sakura, I said don’t move!” he growled.

Kakashi sensei told his students to keep their heads turned when the old woman and her crew came around. The group of them caught the team just as they were rounding the corner to Ichakru’s. If Sakura was a blaming person, she’d blame Naruto for the mess they got into, he was the one who persisted they go eat ramen after a hard day of training, after all.

She peered over at him now on the other side of their sensei, he was trying his hardest to stand so still he was shaking. She almost chuckled. He could be a dimwit at times.

When the cameramen tried to stop them, Kakashi sensei had thought of something quick and told them all to stand next to a group of civilians near the shop. At first, Sakura felt silly and didn’t think ignoring the excited cameraman was gonna help them get away, but it seemed to be working?

As long as no one gave in the reporter and her people would become too restless to stay and chat and probably move on to find some other team to pester.

Yeah right.

“Why are your ninjas so strong, sir? What are your training methods for them?” Don’t they care that we’re beat up and smell bad!? We just came from training for Pete’s sake and some of us wanna go lie down in a bed! Thought Sakura, not feeling amused anymore as the seconds began to drag on and the group didn’t show any signs of leaving.

“How about anything romantic in your team? Does either of your boys have a crush on the girl? How about these two beside each other? I’ve always said pink and blue go together, am I right?” she laughed. Sakura definitely agreed with her, but she felt dread all the same when she peered over at Sasuke to see his reaction to the obnoxious, but oh so correct, lady. His face was neutral, as always, maybe even slightly annoyed. Even though the reporter was waving her microphone at their backs, Sakura wanted to turn around and punch the living gods out of that woman.

Stay cool, Sakura and we can get home safely.

“Naruto, hold steady…” She heard Kakashi breathe under his breath, and Sakura shifted her eyes to him. She nearly choked. Naruto was eyeing the reporter with indecision in his blue eyes, looking sweaty and uncomfortable just by standing for so long.

Oh gods, no.

“Naruto, I swear if you screw this up for us…” Sasuke’s harsh whisper beside Sakura reached Naruto, and that did it.

Naruto snapped.

“I’M STANDING STILL, IDIOT!”

“Naruto!” Sakura cried out in surprise and anger as the reporter literally hopped in front of them with a bright smile of success on her face and the cameramen followed suit.

She felt and heard Sasuke slap his forehead in aggravation.

Kakashi just sighed real long.

“Kakashi sensei! I’m Emi, and this is my crew-”

“I know who you are-”

“-I would like to continue asking more questions for the paper tomorrow if you don’t mind.”

Again, Kakashi sighed. He looked so broken. “Uh, how long will this take exactly?”

“Five hours,” she responded immediately, an innocent smile on her face.

Sakura and her teammates almost fell over.

We’re not going home for a while...

Day’s Notes: Genin SS because I adore those kids; a night under the stars━sometime after the chunin exams

---

The nightmares were so constant that Sasuke no longer jolted with heavy panting and screams. His eyes no longer widened as he stared into the void and waited for the visions of his past to blur away to darkness of his room.

Now he woke with a sigh and rolled on his back, blinking up at the starry night sky.

He felt stupid the first overnight with Team Seven. He had childishly hoped that being as far as possible from Konoha would give him respite from the dreams of mangled bodies and blood seeping into floorboards.

There was no running from his ghosts.

Sasuke turned his head to his right and saw Naruto with his mouth wide open and his body twisted so that he was snuggling his blanket and bed roll instead of lying on top of it. He didn’t need to look to know that Kakashi wasn’t sleeping in his bed roll. Their instructor was never in his bed roll though he liked to continue to create the illusion that he were sleeping soundly across from his trio of genin.

Turning to his right, Sakura was awake, eyes on the starry canopy above their head and her lips moving slightly as she spoke to herself.

In the dark her chin length hair seemed more dusty rose than the wata-ame pink of fluffy festival treats it looked in the midday sun.

Sakura’s hair looked like the orange of glass molding in flames when the sun was falling and the color of candelabra amaranths during the false dawn━but he wasn’t going to look into why the shades of Sakura were so pronounced in his mind that he could find her in the world and the world in her.

But for now the fire pit was dead and the only sounds were that of chirping cicadas and the rustling of wind through leaves. Yet Sakura was awake.
