A/N: It's been so long since I updated this book. Life really has caught me in its talons. Still I decided to post one of my old one-shots here.
Beware! It's really short!
Title: Small Gestures
Summary: For Sasuke and Sakura, small gestures express a lot...
It was a normal day in Konoha. Normal, since the war had finally come to an end a month ago. The village was back to its restored self but not it's civilians as most of them were waiting for the arrival of their leave from the hospital. Everyone wanted to enjoy the bright atmosphere of their village for as long as they could.
Amidst all this hustle and bustle, a young kunoichi of 17 made her way across the swarms of doctors and nurses in the huge building. She was the disciple of the Fifth Hokage and was always assigned to the most important operations. But this particular patient wasn't put under her care on the orders of her mentor. The patient himself had demanded her supervision and handling for his treatment. It surprised her that even after everything that has transpired between the two, he still chose her to be there. Well, the guy is just as unpredictable as his best friend so the young medic has no other choice but to wait until he himself decides to reveal his motives.
Her striding legs finally came to rest when she reached the door to a particular ward in the secluded portion of that building. Even after all these years she loses her professionalism in front of this guy. Maybe it's because of the strong feelings that she holds only for him?
With hesitation still brewing in her form, she paused at the door. Calm down. You can do this. She consoled herself. Taking deep, long breaths, she willed herself to push open the door and walked in.
Immediately her emerald irises landed on the onyx ones and they stared at each other like they always do— an act of intimacy that no one but they share.. He must have sensed my presence beforehand. She concluded to herself.
Taking a small gulp of the moist monsoon air, she asked him, "Would you like some apples, Sasuke-kun?"
He didn't speak but slowly inched his only remaining right-hand towards her now seated form over the stool. With the ease of an ace, his palm found hers and their fingers entangled together.
Confused and slightly flushed by his act, the girl spoke her query, "Sa-Sasuke-kun?"
The boy only turned his head away from her, breaking their intimate eye-contact. He cocked his head to the side and smirked all throughout his response, "Hn...annoying."
A/N: I know its really short but sorry. I'll write more when I find time. I still need to update my book 'A Chance at Redemption' and I've barely started typing the 13th chapter for that one. Ugh! Life really is sucking up on me...:(
I'll keep trying though..
Hope you guys liked this short fic..:3
Until Next Time...
