I Know

Sakura stared at the band of skin on her ring finger paler than the rest of her hand. Fuck.

She'd taken it off while they were moving furniture into the house and now she couldn't find it anywhere. She was so preoccupied by the missing symbol of her marriage that she only noticed now that the entire living room was already set up.

"Ta-da." Kakashi motioned to their work from the couch. A tired Yamato was sprawled next to him.

Sakura covered her face in her hands. "I wanted to vacuum before you guys brought this in."

"Oh. Sorry…"

"It's okay." She plugged in the vacuum that had been resting against the wall and began running it on the exposed areas of carpet. She lifted the couch with one hand into the air. Yamato yelped, clutching the cushion for dear life while Kakashi leaned back, his expression not changing once. Yamato's distress was invisible to her, all of her attention on the carpet in hopes of catching the glint of her ring.

She set down the couch, moving on to the other pieces of furniture. Yamato jumped off as soon as it was back on the floor and announced he should back to work. Kakashi enjoyed his break a little longer before following his friend out of the room to get more stuff out of the moving truck.

The rest of the day was spent cleaning, arranging, and setting up. With everything done, Sakura lay on the grass in their backyard, staring at her hand in despair. It was just the two of them in the house now. Yamato had gone home after dinner—their first dinner in their sweet little house. She clenched her hand into a fist, resting it against her forehead. She didn't want to admit to her husband how careless she'd been.

Kakashi stretched out next to her, hands behind his head. "I think I'm going to like it here."

She hid her face from him. "I did something stupid."

He made a questioning noise.

"I'm really sorry. I can't believe I did what I did," she continued.

"Uh, you're scaring me." He reached over, rubbing her arm.

"Ilostmyring."

Kakashi blinked. Sakura cringed as she waited for his response. Then, laughter that shook his whole body bubbled out of him. "Is that it? I thought it was going to be something worse than that." He reached into his pocket and pulled out Sakura's ring. "I kept it safe for you."

She snatched it out of his hand, slipping it on with a relieved sigh. She threw her arms around him, half climbing on top of him, pressing kisses on his face.

"Wait, what did you think I was going to say?" she asked, propping herself up.

"That you realized you'd made a mistake."

She rested her forehead against his, smiling widely. "You're cute."

"I know." He nodded sagely. "Do I get a reward for finding your ring?"

Her finger drew patterns on his chest as she whispered things in his ear that made him clutch her tighter. He swallowed hard.

"You're the best wife in the whole world," he said.

"I know."
