-That's enough Ino, I told you that I can't. I'm busy.- Sakura is making lunch.

Since, of the two members of his family, one loves tomatoes and the other one hates them, she finds herself in the task of preparing two different meals.

Ino watches her from the table in the living room, going from one point to the other in the kitchen, her head resting on a fist in her hand.

-It will only be a few minutes Sakura, we have not been together for a long time.-

Sakura sighs wearily. -Fine, just... wait for me. Today Sasuke-kun took Sarada to visit his clan's grave and some other places. I want to have lunch ready for when they will come back.- she said while she was wiping her forehead from the sweat. It's really hot in that kitchen.

-Eh? But isn't Sarada too young for that? Does she even understand anything?

Sakura shrugged in response. "I suppose that's why he took her," she murmurs to herself. -Okay, all set! - she says, turning off the stove.

-Perfect! Let's go! .- Ino got up and took her by the wrist, dragging her to the door. "H-Hey, wait a bit!" she barely manages to untie her apron and throw it on the table before walking through the door.

-Ah! What beautiful jewels! - Ino exclaims amused. They are in one of the few stores in Konoha that sells jewelry. Fancy jewelry. "Very beautiful ... but very expensive," she says. She narrowed her eyes when she saw the prices.

Kami, with all that money I could buy the missing supplies in the hospital. The inner doctor in her always came out.

"Let me buy you something!" Her blond friend screams excitedly.

-What? No!-

-C'mon!-

-Ino, no.-

-Why not? Sasuke-kun will like it.- Ino elbows her in a knowing tone.

-Sasuke-kun… he doesn't pay attention to those things.-

She thinks Sasuke doesn't notice those details. She thinks she could dye her hair green and he wouldn't even notice.

-Hey, don't make that face.- Ino gets uncomfortable because she doesn't know if she said something she shouldn't. She decides to change the subject. -Well, let's not think about him, let's think about you! Let me get you something! You are my best friend, Sakura.

-Ino… - Sakura is surprised at Ino's words. She missed her best friend too. She smiles at her. -I guess you're going to insist even if I say no ... but nothing too expensive .- warns her.

-Great! - the blonde celebrates. "What could it be?" She asks herself, placing a finger on her chin.

-Remember that I work in a hospital, it shouldn't bother hinder me. And it must not be small so Sarada does not swallow it.- Sakura takes a look at the small, sophisticated pieces.

Yes, they are very pretty. But dangerous for a little child, and annoying for a doctor.

Unlike Ino, Sakura never wore jewelry. She had a few accessories, but when she started training with Tsunade ... it was better not to wear anything, because surely it would end up broken. At first she did not care, but now, seeing the amount of wonderful and beautiful jewelry ... Well, she wanted to wear something. After so much work, she wanted to treat herself.

Sakura scanned the cabinets for something that caught her eye.

There was something that did.

She was staring at one particular shelf when she felt Ino's shoulder bump against hers.

"Did you find something?" She asked curiously. And following the direction of her pink-haired friend's sight, she saw it too.

-Ah! They are precious!

Sasuke is tucking his little daughter, who is only three years old, in her bed.

For Sasuke, Sarada should still continue sleeping in a crib, but the girl herself complained of uncomfortable sleeping. Sarada arrived exhausted from her walk, and stayed asleep on her father's arm, who carried her back. He watches as she sleeps peacefully, hugging a little doll. Sasuke gives her daughter's little head a long kiss, closing his eyes.

Then he leaves the room, closing the door.

He's entering the living room when Sakura opens the door. She smiles at him as she enters.

-I'm home.- she says as she sits down to take off her shoes.

-Welcome back.- he replies.

Sasuke is unbuttoning his black cape to hang it up, since while carrying Sarada, he couldn't take it off before. Sakura gets up and goes to the kitchen. -How was the walk? I prepared the lunch before I left, you must be hungry. Where is Sarada?

-She is sleeping. She fell asleep when we got back. - he says while he follows her.

"I suppose she will be hungry when she wakes up." She is washing her hands in the sink, to dry them with one of the clothes from the kitchen. Her back is to him, so she cannot see him.

"What is that?" Sasuke asks her, approaching her.

"What thing, dear?" She asks in response, leaving the cloth on the table. She is distracted. She is trying to remember if she cooked the rice or not before going.

Damn, Ino.

Sakura is so focused on her thoughts, that she flinches when Sasuke gently takes her hand.

-This.- he says, examining her wrist.

She turns to see him. "Oh, that." She laughs nervously. -Ino forced me to go to a store, I saw them and they seemed cute.-

Sakura chose two silver bracelets. Basic. Without any details. When she tried them on, she felt comfortable. And they are big enough that Sarada won't even try to put them in her mouth. The shape of the silver circle also gives her some nostalgia, it is like the symbol of her previous clan. She bought them. She doesn't let Ino pay for her.

Sakura starts to get a little nervous because Sasuke doesn't let go of her hand. -H-Hey ... I have to set the table ... - but she doesn't make any attempt to remove them.

He is stroking her fingers with his thumb, running them across the back of her hand. Sasuke turns her hand over, leaving the inside of her palm visible. He sticks two fingers into the space of the bracelet, massaging the skin of her wrist, where her veins show. Sasuke looks into her eyes while he is doing this and Sakura just blushes, averting her look.

She is ashamed of the meaning of the symbolism of this action. She can feel her chest start to tremble.

Sasuke can feel this too, and places her hand, which he was touching, on his chest, only to grab her other wrist and give it the same treatment.

"I like them," he says in the middle of his massage.

Sakura lifts her head to see him. He is a bit flushed too.

-Really?-

He nods his head. His gaze never leaves hers.

"I thought Sasuke-kun wouldn't notice them," she shyly confesses.

-I always notice everything about you, Sakura. Even if you don't realize it.-

-Sasuke-kun…-

"My eyes never leave you." Sasuke again puts her other hand on his chest, so that both of her hands are together.

I can feel Sasuke-kun's heart beating.

For Sakura, these words from her husband are too much. No matter how many years of marriage passed or how many children they had, just his presence meant the world to her.

Sakura, totally flushed, lifts her heels, pulling herself up to give him a soft kiss on the lips. Since Sasuke is taller than her, he helps her by lowering his head a little. It is a short and simple kiss. Similar to the first kiss they had.

When they separate, Sasuke holds the side of her head, kissing her forehead, right where she has her violet seal.

Sakura really likes when he does that.

-Do you know what I like most about your bracelets? - He asks her, his lips still inches from her forehead.

-What?- responds almost whispering. So much closeness does not let her think clearly.

-That I can do this.-

She doesn't know how he does it, he's very fast.

As before, Sasuke runs both main fingers through a bracelet, then pass them through the other again, bringing both of Sakura's wrists together in his grip. Ensured that his wife's hands are locked, Sasuke walks with her, until Sakura's back bumps against the fridge. Sakura gasps in surprise, and he lifts the maneuver he made over her head.

In this way, her breasts are more exposed, rising and falling while she is breathing. He fixes his gaze on them and then lifts it up to her face.

Sakura is static about his actions and looks at him with a frown pucker.

"Sarada is here," she warns him.

Sasuke rests his forehead against her. -She is asleep.-

-She could wake up.- Kiss me.

As if he was guessing her wishes, Sasuke kisses her.

Not a kiss like the one they previously shared.

A good kiss, a strong one, with passion.

Sakura whimpers when he sticks his tongue into her, stroking hers. She gets wet instantly.

Her husband separates from her. A tiny invisible thread of saliva still binds them together.

If Sakura's mind couldn't think straight before, now it doesn't function.

Her eyes are cloudy and her mouth yearns to feel the hot tongue of her love again. An excited Sasuke - clearly excited - leans down to whisper in her ear:

-Whether she wakes up or not will depend on you. If I were you, I would not scream.-
