Headcanon: The Day Sakura Joins Sasuke
THE SS TRAVELS SERIES (01)
He felt guilty for letting her come with him. He was basically putting Sakura in harm’s way.
He didn’t even need to voice this out though, because Sakura took one look at him and she read him like an open book. Sakura could feel the Uchiha’s hesitance each step they were taking, away from Konoha’s gates,
“I know the dangers a mission implicates, Sasuke-kun. And I can take it. I’m a kunoichi, you know,” She tells him sassily, with a hand on her hip.
This stunned Sasuke. She never spoke to him like this before, she’s changed. A good change. Sasuke needed to remind himself that she didn’t need him to save her. That punch during the war spoke for itself.
“Ah,” he said. He still had thoughts bugging him at the back of his mind but he didn’t really know how to stir a conversation.
Sakura sighs and stops walking. This causes Sasuke to stop in his steps as well.
“Do you want me to come with you or not?” Sakura asked, looking Sasuke straight in the eyes with such ferocity. Sasuke got a feeling in his stomach that was foreign to him.
“Ye-” Sasuke begins to say before she cuts him off.
“Then act like it. If you’ve got something to say then spit it out,” Sakura said with a raised eyebrow.
If Sasuke wasn’t so impressed, he’d be a little intimidated. He has always known about Sakura’s temper but it was always directed at Naruto and not him. Sasuke’s face remains expressionless, the gears in his mind trying to formulate a strategy -- what words to say.
“It’s uncomfortable. We might have to camp in the forest when there are no inns, and that’s a lot of the time. It gets hot, it gets cold. It’s not going to be a comfy journey in the least,” Sasuke says, not really looking at Sakura but instead a nearby tree. He didn’t expect himself to word vomit.
Sakura laughs and this once again catches Sasuke off-guard. She was mad just now? But not anymore? Sasuke questioned in his head, not certain how to go about with the situation.
“You think I don’t know that? What do you think I packed for? A vacation?” Sakura shakes her head and walks ahead of him -- but only because she was hiding the blush that has crept onto her cheeks when she realized, Sasuke Uchiha was actually worried — it was a subtle but sweet gesture that made her heart beat like crazy.
