This story is going to take place after the War and will be a little AUish. (I do keep up with Boruto but This is legit my favourite ship so 😊 )
'One… more…hour… damn!' The young woman thought to herself as she finished filing the last bit of paperwork she had on her desk. Sakura Haruno let out a sigh and took a seat at her desk. She has been busy keeping herself occupied for the last few hours of her shift at the hospital. Time here lately has seemed to be dragging by as she has been working for the past two weeks straight. Since the Great Ninja War, she's been on call and working herself to exhaustion. However, with the help from her close friend, Ino, the two girls were able to start a Children's Mental Health clinic within the Konoha hospital. With the clinic and her regular demand as a medic, she basically lives and breathes work. After this 20-hour shift, Sakura will finally be able to head home for a much-needed rest as it was her 48 hour shift change.
Only minutes pass before Sakura got bored of just sitting. She got onto her feet and began to walk out of her office. She walked for a few moments until she reached the main Triage desk.
"Good afternoon Miss, is there anyone in need of immediate care?" Sakura questioned, hoping there was at least something to do to help kill the last bit of her shift.
An older female giggled, "Miss? Goodness Sakura, thank you for making this old lady feel young again. Unfortunately, there has been no updates or traumas since you last asked thirty minutes ago. Maybe you should leave early? Working as much as you do will make you feel as old as I really am!"
Once again, the pink hair girl sighed. She barely ever leaves work early unless it was a damn good reason. In the medical field, everything changes within a blink of an eye, but with the Great Nations under peace, it seems there's been less and less major traumas that need to be dealt with. Sakura smiled and waved farewell to the admitting clerk and began to take a walk on the hospital ward. She walked by familiar co-workers and inpatients, greeting each one with one of her famous friendly smiles. Just as she began to make her way towards her office, her mind must have wondered into thought because all of a sudden, she glances in front of herself and almost walked right into a familiar face.
"Sakura? I'm surprised to see you still here." A cool-toned voice spoke.
"Ah, Kakashi-sensei, I'm sorry I should be paying more attention! Of course, I'm here, my shift doesn't end for another twenty-two minutes." Sakura replies.
"I've been hearing that you've been pretty much on top of things here. Why don't you take that extra few minutes and take leave for the rest of the day? I'm sure the hospital will be fine without you here." Kakashi praises her with a smile underneath the cloth of his mask.
"But Kakashi-sen—"
Before Sakura had a chance to reply he cuts her off, "No buts, Sakura. You've been working very hard lately and there is nothing you need to be doing here. Hokage's orders. Besides, Clinic is closed today and tomorrow, why not take time for yourself?"
The pink haired girl shook her head slightly before giving in to her former sensei and team mate. "Ok, Fine. You win this time. If it wasn't for the fact that I am starving, you would have lost this argument," she teased.
"It's been a while since I've seen you, how about we grab something together? I just need to go sign a few documents and I can meet you outside when you are done gathering your belongings." Kakashi suggested.
Sakura was pleased to accept his offer, it's been several weeks since she has actually had time to see someone outside of work. Actually, it's been almost been two months since she seen Kakashi. The last time she had seen him was after the last mission she was sent on with Naruto and Hinata to rescue Hanabi.
After parting with Kakashi, it was very rushed. The medic ninja rushed herself into her office and exchanged her doctor's uniform for a casual tank top and cardigan. Then she removed her pink locks from the messy bun she had thrown her hair in earlier through her shift. Once she was done prepping herself she left the office and begun to head to the ground floor of the hospital towards the entrance. To her surprise, the white-haired man was already waiting.
"It's about time. Let's get moving before the restaurants start getting busy." Kakashi smiled as he began to walk. Sakura picked up her pace to catch up to him.
"Usually you're the one who is late, if I recall." She giggled.
The two talked together a few blocks making small conversation. It seemed like they had quite a bit to catch up on. Since the Great ninja war, Kakashi has taken over as the Hokage, so he has been pretty tied up in his duty as well. Now that everyone has grown up, nobody ever has the chance to catch up with one another.
Once they reached their destination, the two walked into the restaurant together and found themselves a small booth in the back of the place. Kakashi personally wasn't feeling up to being spotted out in pubic today, neither was Sakura at this point.
"So, Sakura, besides work, how have you been keeping?"
"I've been doing pretty good. How has your new position been for you? "she questioned back.
"Ehh, it's been ok. However, the paperwork is never ending. I've been having Naruto come in and help out, it helps the both of us." Kakashi answers, then he places both of their meal orders.
"Ahh, Naruto. I seen him last week briefly. Seems now a days he's been either training or with his girlfriend. It's sad to say but I miss that guy being around all the time." Sakura giggles.
While waiting on their food, they two talked about all the changes that the village has undergone, news about their friends, and their daily routines. Once their food arrived, the flow of conversation dwindled as Sakura began to feed her hunger. Before she had a chance to even look up from her plate, Kakashi was already done his meal and was waiting for her.
"Thank you so much for suggesting supper. It's just what I needed. "Sakura beamed.
"It was nice catching up with you and actually seeing you not drowning yourself in your workload."
After finishing their dinner, they got up from their seats and left the building. Before heading home, Kakashi stopped Sakura for a moment. "Would you like me to walk you home? It is getting dark out and you just never know."
Sakura let out a small laugh. "Oh Sensei, no one would try anything on me, however if this is the Hokage offering his services, who am I to say no?"
Kakashi let out a small chuckle and ran his hand through his hair. There was one thing he learnt this evening after being around Sakura, and that was he truly did miss her company as well.
Thank you for Reading! I will try to update as soon as possible. Cheers.
