Road Trip for Three?

Rated:T

Three hours into their road trip found Sakura singing her lungs out to the song that was playing on the radio. Sasuke watched from the driver seat with an amused smile on his face. She had been fast asleep not fifteen minutes ago but he had woken her up while he was waiting in line in the drive-thru for McDonald's. Now she was using a French fry as a makeshift mic.

Silly girl. He thought

They were on their way to his family's cabin for a mini weekend vacation up in the mountains and it would take at least another two and half hours before they got there. Sooner or later Sakura would both get bored and ask to get off somewhere or fall back asleep.

"C'mon Sasuke-kun sing with me!" she placed a fry in front of his face and instead of singing along he ate it out her hand.

"I'm driving babe."

Sakura scoffed, "You sing with your mouth, not your hands." She sat back in her seat and looked out the passenger window but all she saw was trees. Miles and miles of snowy trees. "How much longer till we get there?"

He gave her a sideways glance and then looked back to the road, "A couple of hours maybe."

A couple of minutes had passed and it had gone quiet, only able to hear the soft hum of the heater and the radio softly playing music. He turned his head to look to see if she was asleep when instead he heard Sakura yell out "Sasuke Stop!"

He quickly pressed his foot on the brake. The tires skidded and the car swerved before it came to a full stop. All the while Sasuke's heart was pounding and the thought of "But there wasn't another car in front of us." ran through his head. He looks over to Sakura to see if she's okay but she's already taking off her seatbelt and getting out of the car instead. Confused he puts the car in park and follows her out of the car.

"What the hell Sakura, where are you going?" he follows her but she still hasn't said anything, still too focused on something else. The crunching of snow is the only thing that answers him.

They don't stop walking until they're about twenty feet away from the car and he looks back to make sure no one tries to steal his car even though they are pretty much the only ones on the road. He turns back around when he hears Sakura let out a happy squeal "I knew it! Look Sasuke-kun!"

He walks up the where she's kneeling and looks over her shoulder to see her looking inside of a box. She pulls out whatever is in it wrapped up in blankets and turns to him with the biggest brightest smile he's ever seen. "Look how cute he is!" in her hands is a small black and white fluffy puppy probably a couple months old. "Can we keep him pretty please please please."

He wants to say no, they don't need a dog. They'd have to potty-train it and take care of it and buy it food and he doesn't want that. But she's looking at him with those big green eyes of hers and he can't for the life of him say no to her. So he takes a deep breath before letting it out and says, "Okay."

Her face lights up even more if that's even possible and she jumps up and down, "Thank you thank you thank you!" she gets on her tippy toes and plants a kiss on his lips and his face softens when she drops back down.

Yeah, he'll do anything just to see her happy. Though it takes him a moment to remember they could have almost died because of that puppy.

He looks around to see Sakura already halfway back towards the car and runs after her.

"Hey we could have died you know!"

"Oh don't be dramatic." She says as she opens the car door.

When he gets back in he hears her talking to the puppy and he rolls his eyes. "So what are you gonna name it."

"I don't know I'm honestly still shocked a bit how someone could just leave this little guy out on the side of the road. In the cold no less." She has the puppy laying in her lap still wrapped up in the blanket.

"Yeah, that's pretty messed up." He puts the car back in drive and takes off back towards their destination.

They drive in silence with only the radio playing background noise and Sakura humming along to the song. It's after a couple hours when they're almost there that he hears her gasp and say "I know what I'll name him!" She looks at him waiting for him to ask so he does "And what did you decide on?"

"Kili." She says with finality.

"Kili? You mean the dwarf from the hobbit? Why?"

"Why not? He was really cute in the movie," He rolls his eyes at that "and I really like the name."

"You do know he most likely did not look like that in the book right?"

"Okay and?"

He shakes his head, "Whatever you want babe."

She gives him another smile and he grabs her hand and brings it up to his lips to press a small kiss there. And he sees a small blush adorn her cheeks. The moment is broken though when they hear a small bark coming from Kili who is now poking his head out from under the blanket. He's moving on her lap now to try and look out the window, standing on his short stubby legs.

He hears Sakura giggling in the seat next to him and it's not hard to figure out why, the little ball of fluff has all of her attention. And he thinks to himself that cotton ball better not replace me. But of course, he hadn't said that in his head but under his breath, because he hears Sakura say "Oh baby don't be jealous, I still love you."

"Hn."

This was supposed to be a weekend for the two of them but it looks like they'll be joined by a new addition. Though as long as Sakura is happy he really didn't care.

A/N: how long has it been? too long I think though I thought I'd give you guys something. its a little rushed but meh I also didn't want to drag it out
