She watched the moonbeams play across his chest, his wonderfully broad and muscled chest. She watched as the shadows from the leaves outside danced along his many scars, the ones he counted as failures while she counted them as badges of honor.
She smiled as she watched his face scrunch up a bit when the moonlight reached his face. His face wasn't handsome, as many people speculated, nor deformed, as her overly energetic teammate often speculated; it was a normal face that wasn't quite symmetrical. The nose had been broken often enough that there was a slight crookedness to its shape, though the mask he was determined to wear hide that. His lips was fuller on the bottom lip, something she found hilarious when she noticed that he did in fact pout easily because of it. His eyes were definitely not symmetrical, one black while the other remained an Uciha red. He had a small dimple on the left side of his cheek, so often covered up by the mask. She never gets tired of looking at his face, his secret he only shared with those he trusted.
She loves this man, this strong and trustworthy man. This man who, though he almost never reached somewhere on time, never let her down. This man who, since she was twelve, had been one of the main men in her lives, the others included her father and Naruto. This man who continually tries to protect her, even though she is a renowned medic-nin and can certainly protect herself; she loves that about him. She loves him. She loves him. She loves him.
She kisses his cheek and watches him smile.
"Let me protect you from now on. I might not be strong enough to protect your body, you have your duty on the field and I have mine in the hospital, but I shall protect the heart you entrusted to me." Sakura whispered as she traced one of his newest scars.
The moonlight caught on her wedding band as Sakura entwined her fingers with her husband's. She sighed in contentment before she closed her eyes and allowed sleep to overcome her mind.
Kakashi cracked one eye open to make sure she was asleep before he opened the other. He smiled and lifted they joined hands to his lips. His wedding band twinkled as he kissed her hand. He kept their hands linked like that as he closed his eyes again.
"You can try." He murmured as he joined Sakura in whatever dream she had shaped.
