Prompt: Sasuke convinces Tsunade to add him to Sakura's squad for a mission. Sakura finds out and gets mad because she feels like Sasuke thinks he still has to protect her.
I pictured that this was after the war of course, and that Sasuke and Sakura already kinda have a thing developing :]
"SASUKE-KUN," Sakura yelled at the top of her lungs as she barged into Sasuke's apartment, slamming the door so hard she herself was surprised it didn't fall off its hinges. Sasuke was sitting on the floor of his living room sharpening his Sword of Kusanagi, his back to the front door. He didn't answer her, which only irritated Sakura more. "Sasuke-kun!" she yelled again, waiting for him to turn around and acknowledge her presence.
"I'm assuming you heard then," he responded as he put his chokuto aside and stood up to face her.
"You shouldn't have done that! And since when did you have such an influence on Tsunade-sama?"
"I wouldn't say I have an influence on her; after having a talk with her she decided it would be a good idea for me to join the squad for this mission," he said resting his arms on his hips.
"I don't need you along to protect me; I'm not 12 years old anymore."
"I know, Sakura. But what's done is done, so we should…"
"No, it's not done! You're going to go back over there and tell Tsunade-sama that you want removed from this mission!"
"So you're telling me to march over there and demand that the Hokage repeal the order that I just convinced her was a good idea…that sounds like something Naruto would think up."
"I don't care how ridiculous it sounds, that's what you're going to do," she insisted.
"And what happens if you're on the mission and something goes wrong? Then what?"
"Then we'll figure out a way to fix it."
"But what if you can't? What if you get severely injured?"
"Then I'll heal myself!"
"But what if you CAN'T?" Sasuke yelled. Sakura was taken aback—she couldn't remember a time where Sasuke had ever yelled at her. He grunted in frustration and turned his back toward her. But after a moment, he spoke again. "What if something happens and you can't heal yourself, Sakura?" he murmured, clenching his fists. "I just…I can't bare the thought of having to go through that again…of losing someone who's dear to me."
Sakura felt her heart pulse at that last sentence. She stared at his back, shocked. After a moment, she finally gathered the courage to speak. "I'm…dear to you?"
Sasuke turned around to face her—his sharp, gentle eyes studied her face. He didn't say anything, but his silence and concerned expression told her everything she needed to know. Sakura felt a smile edge its way onto her face; then she quickly walked over to him and gave him a hug. She knew this surprised him because she could feel his body jump instinctively in response. Sasuke's arms dangled at his side, but after a moment or two, he slowly raised them and tightly wrapped them around her torso.
