Sasuke didn't work at the hospital anymore since, well, they were friends now and there was really no point of him still working there. He came to see het at the hospital sometimes, when he was bored, but he didn't like hospitals much so those visits were not very often. The one thing they still maintained was their routine of him waiting for her to finish her shift and walk her home.
"I'm exhausted." It had been a bad day on the hospital that had left her almost drained. All I want to do is curl up in bed and sleep.
"Bad day?" Sasuke asked and she nodded in agreement.
Sakura noticed that Sasuke seemed to be limping. "What is wrong with you? Are you hurt?"
"I am fine."
"Don't you lie to me Uchiha Sasuke! Tell me!" She insisted.
"Sakura." He complained.
Why are you hiding? Sakura didn't understand why he was being so secretive about it."Let me see it." She said, walking towards him with the intention of stopping him so she could take a look on whatever he had in his leg.
"Sakura" Sasuke complained again, grabbing her hands before she got a chance to touch him.
Sakura used her strength to make him let go of her arms. "I'm not going to stop until you let me see it." She threatened.
Sasuke sighed. "I'll show you when we get to your house, ok?"
As Sakura reached her front door she realized that Sasuke had no intention of coming into the house.
"Where are you going?" She asked to his retreating back. You liar.
Sasuke stopped but didn't turn around. "Sakura…"
She walked towards him and grabbed his hand to lead him into the house. "You're not more stubborn than me."
You stubborn pain in the ass. She dragged him into the house and forced him to sit down on the couch so she could take a look at his wound.
"Why didn't you come to me? I could have healed you sooner." She asked. It was such a simple wound…
Sasuke turned his head the other way which made her raise her eyebrows at his strange behavior. What's wrong with him?
"You said you were exhausted."
Everything made sense with his words. "Oh…"
Oh…he was…looking out for me. That's so sweet. Sakura couldn't help but smile.
She brought her hands to his face and made him face her. "You can always come to me, always." Sakura said, smiling.
There was something in Sasuke's eyes that changed when she said that, Sakura didn't know what it was but it changed him a little.
Sakura felt his breath hit her face and she became very aware of how close their faces were. We're so close we could kiss. The thought made her heart race and she was suddenly very nervous. She became even more nervous when Sasuke removed her hands from his face and placed his hands on hers, bringing her face forward. He's going to kiss me, he's really going to…kiss me…oh my…
And he did kiss her, on the forehead. How disappointing.
"Thank you." Sasuke said.
Sakura forced herself to smile despite her disappointment. You don't want to ruin everything, do you? "You're welcome Sasuke, do you want some tea?" Do you want some tea? What kind of question is that? Uh…I'm so stupid.
Sasuke got up from the couch and started walking towards the door. "Maybe next time." He said, raising his hand as a goodbye.
When she was sure Sasuke had left she let herself fall on the couch. She couldn't help but feel a little giddy inside. He did kiss me, who cares if it was on the forehead, it was awesome. But old feelings resurging wasn't good, for him or for her. It would destroy their friendship and she would just end up with a broken heart. But what can I do? It's not like I can erase these feelings…
