A Tea in the evening

The snow was falling silently on the streets of Konoha, it was neither to much nor to less to be annoying, it was just right. The atmosphere in Konoha didn't change though, much like Sakura, all the ninja's were working whilst the villagers were enjoying the peaceful afternoon. Sakura sighed, the piles of paper on her desk didn't lessen.

'This is way to much work for such a nice day',thought Sakura sadly. She'd like walk through the big park near her house with all the children there, happily dancing through the first snow of the season but she couldn't, she had work to do. She had a good pay as the best doctor in the Konoha hospital and she loved tending the patients but she hated the damn paperwork. After looking out of the window for a second she turned around again, continuing her work.

A sudden knock on the door startled her, making her loose her concentration. Her door was locked, she didn't like being interupted, so she had to stand up and open it. She didn't expect Sasuke to stand infront of her door but was still happy to see him. They had been getting closer since he came back on his own free will and they were now good friends.

"Hello Sasuke-kun, what're you doing here?" she greeted him with a hug he returned lazily.

"Ah Sakura." he aknowledged her, giving her a smirk of his.

"Are you still working?" he asked, looking over her head to her desk were the piles of paper were seemingly still as high as before she started working on them. She looked at him sheepishly and smiled at him.

"Yeah, you know I'm pretty busy." she told him, opening her door for him to enter her office. He followed her hint and walked into the dimly light room. Sakura closed the door and walked to her desk, sitting down on the chair to continue her work in Sasuke's presence.

"Sakura, you work to much and you know that." Sasuke explained, taking off his dark jacket and scarf. He put them on the couch in the corner of the office and walked over to Sakura.

"Maybe but I get a heap of paperwork just because of Naruto and you! You're here almost every week, making me heal you because you didn't pay attention on you missions." Sakura said to him. Sasuke himself only gave his trademark 'Hn' before he turned Sakura's chair around and took her by the hand to lift her up. Sakura was surprised as hell but followed him to the door of her office.

"Put on your jacket, we're going out. I can't stand you working because of the baka on such a nice evening." Sasuke put on his scarf and jacket, after that he gave Sakura her jacket and went out of the hospital. It was cold enough for the both of them to see their breath in the air but Sakura was more interested in the snow that was still falling and how mesmerizing the clouds looked, tinted in a blue-grey-ish colour, hiding the stars.

"Where are we going Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked after a while.

"Hm, you'll see Sakura, don't be so impatient." Sasuke said with a smirk, looking at her out of the corner of his eyes. They continued walking for a while, neither of them said a word. They just happily enjoyed each others company in the nice atmosphere of a christmas-nearing Konoha.

Sasuke stopped in front of a small tea-house in a more calm part of Konoha.

"A Tea-house, what a nice idea Sasuke-kun." Sakura smiled and followed Sasuke in. They walked through the small house, it was nicely decorated and soft music was playing in the background. They ended up in a corner with a big window that showed the nice garden of the tea-house.

As they had received the tea they ordered, they looked through the window together, seeing the sky clear up to reveal the big, bright moon in the sky.

And for the rest of the night, Sasuke and Sakura sat there in the warm and cozy tea-house, enjoying the tea and the dim light of the moon that shone down on them.
