~~~Sasuke Uchiha sat at an oak desk flipping through his many research books that were stacked in nonchalant columns among him. His Anbu uniform still on, for he didn't want to waste time in changing; made him look like a sinister person. Which he figured was the reason why no librarians had yet come forward to ask if he needed assistance. He didn't mind though. He was in a hurry- the clock was ticking. As he started to retrospect on why he was here in the first place a familiar chakra approached the library, and soon a soft voice that he knew only too well called to him. Keeping his eyes on the text so he wouldn't be distracted; he eagerly listened for her voice that was like music to his ears.
"Sasuke…why don't you check out and come home for tonight…" softly spoke his team mate and lover. Sasuke let out a sigh knowing that she had searched him out in the library for a reason.
"But we just got a new lead…" His wife reached across the table and shut the book he was reading after she noticed that he had not been looking at her. He let out a frustrated, low sigh and looked up from the table to see the long, pink haired ninja pouting in his direction. He folded his hands on the table; placed his head on them, and then closing his eyes he waited for her usual rant. Scolding and telling him how she was a medical nin, and he was not only a ninja who had a duty to his job, but he was also a ninja with a duty to his family. Unusually this time the rant did not come, and opening his eyes again he quickly glanced at the woman that stood before him. The usual look of frustration that normally was located at the center of her baby doll face had been replaced with an unusual look of concern. He raised his eyebrows at her waiting for her to speak but when a reply did not come with his action his words were only audible only to her, "what's on your mind Sakura…" her slender figure shifted a bit at the sound of his voice but she continued to stare at him with the same look of concern. By how much she was staring at him he wondered if he looked as tired as he felt.
"Sasuke I…." her articulation broke as a single tear rolled down the side of her face. When his eyes noticed this he quickly stood up and the chair he had been sitting on gave a groan of protest as it slid backwards on the wood flooring. Not caring how many people were staring at them at the moment he was at her side in a flash holding her in his embrace. One of his arms around her back pulled her closer to him as the other arm reached up to cradle her face in hand.
"Sakura what's wrong?" He whispered as he gently swiped away the tear with his thumb of his hand that was caressing her face. She took in a shaky breath trying to calm herself, because she didn't want to cause a scene in a public library however though it already looked like one was occurring. She blinked trying to find the words she wanted to say, but there was so much to say she didn't know where to begin…She felt a few more warm tears trail down her soft cheeks. Sasuke seeing her look of incoherence moved his hand so that it was pressed against the back of her rosy colored hair, and brought her head to his shoulder in a soothingly manner; his other hand rubbing her back in comforting circles. "Sakura…Sakura…" he whispered into her ear , " you can tell me…" Sakura took a long drink of his calming scent and stifled a sniffle. His strokes continued as he thought out loud, "alright I think its time we head back to the house now…" She nodded her head in approval into his shoulder, and he sought out a librarian with his eyes. As soon as he saw one looking at them he made eye contact with the studious looking woman. She became flustered for being caught sniffing at other peoples affairs and shifted in her seat on the other side of the room. Before she could look away Sasuke made a gesture with his eyes expressing his 'sorry' in advance for the mess he was about to leave. The brown haired lady in her mid forties gave a small wave indicating that it was no big deal, and that he could leave to take her home with him leaving behind no regrets. Sasuke blinked a thank you and quicker than you might imagine he ushered his wife out the door into the cool autumn night. When he realized what time it was he mentally slapped himself. No wonder Sakura was in distress- this was the fifth time this week he hadn't come home from his research until late at night…~~~
