Prompt: Holding Hands
Summary: She knew that Sasuke wasn't really one for physical contact, but come on she's only human!
Of Fan and Flower
Konoha was alive and practically buzzing with activity. Venders were peddling their goods while children ran and played in the streets. Everybody was excited about the day; after all, lately the village had been plagued with thunderstorms and it was the first time the sun had been out in weeks.
Konoha's newest couple was not exempt from this. They walk side-by-side down one of the dirt roads, bathing in the sunlight. Anybody observing the two would think that they were awkward, neither one speaking, nor attempting to touch the other.
Sakura sighs as she takes in the sights and sounds of her village. It had been almost six months since Sasuke's return, and almost a week since they began dating. Though it wasn't the type of dating that young couples usually are involved with. They didn't kiss or snuggle, or even hold hands, but Sakura was okay with that, for the time being.
Sasuke had been through a lot; the council had him practically jumping through hoops to get back into their good graces. So Sakura understood why their relationship had lacking the physical aspect of it. Sasuke was just too busy to think about that type of thing.
The pinkette glances up at her intimidating boyfriend. His eyebrows furrowed in concentration, his shoulders slumped slightly from stress, and his mouth set in a stern line. But even in his seriousness, he was the most attractive man Sakura had ever laid eyes on. His inky hair spiked to perfection, his ebony eyes containing all the emotion that his muscular body hid, and his flawless skin with the occasional inky tattoo. In the midst of her ogling, Sakura notices his eyes shift their gaze to her.
"What?" He asks expectantly.
"Oh… nothing," Sakura turns away, a slight blush staining her cheeks at the embarrassment of being caught staring.
Sasuke stops walking and uses a hand to turn her face towards him. "You're cute when you blush."
Of course, this only makes her face turn even more rose-colored. "I'm glad you suggested a walk," he says before removing his hand from her face. "It means I get a chance to do this,"
Slowly the hand traces her collarbone before moving down one of her smooth arms until finally, resting in her palm and interlocking fingers with her. Sakura looks up at Sasuke, eyes wide with shock. Was Uchiha Sasuke being flirtatious?
"Shall we continue?" He says with a slight smirk. Sakura can only manage a nod in response.
Slowly Sasuke leads her down the path that they had been walking. As Konoha continues enjoying its day in the sun, its newest couple enjoys holding hands for the first time.
A/N: This is just a little passage in honor of SasuSaku month. Today's prompt was "Holding Hands". I will try to do some more of the prompts and will upload them in this story, but most likely won't be able to do everyday. Thanks for reading :)
