He watched her as her heart broke.
He watched as she tried to piece herself together.
He watched as she was still his friend, giving all three men on her team the love she barely had left.
His heart was on fire for her. .
Filled with anger and the feeling of betrayal; how did she forgive so easily?
He was unsure.
His little cousin did not deserve that sort of love, kindness, loyalty, nor compassion.
He was blind and ignorant to how cold the world really was.
"Oh, hi Shisui-kun!" The pink haired medic chirped, her emerald eyes watching him intently. A smile graced his lips and he couldn't remember what exactly he was there for. "Not to alarm you, Shisui, but you're bleeding..." She murmured, amusement in her voice.
Shisui scratched the back of his neck, "Ah, yeah.." That's what I came here for.
"Come on, I'll patch you up." Sakura smiled, tugging his hand as she half-dragged him to her office. Shutting the door behind her, she instructed Shisui to remove his shirt.
"You've a deep gash on your side and a few badly bruised ribs." She stated, maybe more to herself than him.
He enjoyed the feeling of her hands on him, of the warmth that came from her chakra and the look on her face as she concentrated on heeling him.
"Thank you." He said softly as she pulled away, only for him to grab her hand before she could fully remove herself, "Come to dinner with me." Smooth.
"Uh…." Sakura looked at Shisui for a long moment. He was very handsome, as all Uchiha seemed to be. He was always kind to her, making her laugh when the men of her team were doom and gloom or just on her nerves. He seemed to have a sixth sense for when she was having a crappy day because he always seemed to appear out of nowhere and brighten it all up.
After a few moments of deliberation, Sakura gave a bright smile, "Lucky for you, I'm pretty hungry and I actually end my shift in a few minutes." Shisui smiled back, his heart skipping a beat at the glow that came from her. As Shisui busied himself with redressing and Sakura began taking off her white coat, she smirked, "Maybe you should go shower and change – I'll do the same. I don't want our first date to be remembered with bloodstain and me reeking of profession."
There was a pink tint on Shisui's cheeks at this, what the hell just happened? He had a date with his long time crush?
The medic never stopped amazing him.
"How did you know?" Shisui asked as they headed out of her office.
"Because I've finally allowed myself to take notice of when someone gave to me what I always give to others. See you in a little bit, Shisui. My house, hour and a half." She smiled, giving him a quick kiss on the lips.
In a flurry of blossoms, Shisui watched as she disappeared.
Maybe he should come to the hospital more often.

Author's note:
Sorry this one wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. I shall try again. Maybe Shisui will get another installment. Who knows.
Much love.
