I learned it from you
Rated: T
There are times in Sasukes life where he wonders if there's someone up there laughing at his expense. Putting him in situations that are less than favorable.
It makes him wonder what he did in his previous life to warrant his bad luck. He never did like being on the other side of Sakuras wrath, but that is exactly where he currently found himself.
He'd been sitting on the couch in the living room, feet propped up on the coffee table watching baseball. It was a lazy day, a sweats and no t-shirt kind of lazy day, the best kind. Spring training had just begun the week prior, and when he had the time he'd sit down and watch the Konoha Fire play against whatever team they were up against that day.
Sakura had been in the kitchen making them a light lunch, most likely some kind of soup. Hopefully tomato.
As the commercials came on he heard stomping coming from the stairs and he automatically knew it was Sarada. She had taken to jumping down the stairs ones step at a time. It was something Sakura didn't like because Sarada could hurt herself.
Which is exactly what ended up happening.
He had been counting the stomps, keeping track of which step she was on, there was sixteen steps she'd have to come down and he had counted fourteen when he heard her stumble and the sound of her small palms slapping against the wood floor where she caught herself.
Along with her stumble a very childish fuck could be heard and Sasukes eyes widened. If he was able to hear it he knew Sakura would as well. With the way the floor plan was, the stairs led to the living room on one side and the kitchen on the other, the stairs being in the center. It was an open floor plan, very convenient because if he or Sakura were in the kitchen they would be able to keep an eye on Sarada while she played in the living room.
Sasuke sits up a little straighter when he notices that it's gone quiet in the kitchen, and he's scared to turn his head and look over because he knows exactly what he's going to see.
He can already picture the scowl on his wife's face, eyebrows pinched together, mouth set into a frown.
Quickly though he gets up to check on Sarada who was kneeling at the foot of the stairs wiping her palms oblivious to the change in atmosphere in the room. Completely unfazed by the tumble she just took.
He picks her up holding her against his hip, taking a look at her hands. "Are you okay sweetheart?"
He ignores Sakura for the time being, not wanting to have that conversation right now because he knows she's going to chew his head off.
"Yeah, I'm okay."
"What has mama told you about jumping down the stairs?" He asks as he takes a seat on the couch once again, moving her onto his lap holding her against his chest. He pushes back the strands of hair in her face and sees that she's pouting and he smiles in amusement.
"To not to." She mumbles.
"And why's that?"
"Cause I fall down."
"Yes because you'll fall and hurt yourself like you just did." He squeezes her foot softly and she giggles pushing his hand away.
"That tickles!"
He finally looks over to Sakura and she gives him a pointed look and he sighs.
"Sarada, about that word you said when you fell," He starts, getting her attention once again, making sure she's looking at him, "You shouldn't say that word, it's a bad word."
"Fuck?" She asks in her childish voice and he has to stifle his laugh because he knows Sakura can hear them and laughing is just going to upset her more.
He clears his throat instead, putting on his best serious face, "Yes that word, you shouldn't say that word, okay?"
She tilts her head to the side, curious, "but you say it all the time."
He tenses, the hole he's in is getting deeper and deeper because it's true, he has let the word slip a couple of times in front of her. He just hoped she never caught it.
Clearing his throat, he pushes forward, "You're right, I have, but how about we make a deal. I don't say that word anymore and you don't say that word anymore. That way none of us says that word anymore."
"Mm...okay, deal." She holds out her pinky for him and he links his with her smaller one making the promise.
The easy part was done, now he had to deal with his wife.
A/N: okay this one was really short, mostly because I wanted to give you guys something before I posted one of my other AUs that is almost finished. It was just something that popped into my head, little kids will repeat everything they hear and it's just so funny sometimes hearing the things they pick up.
Well anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this one, leave a review if you can I really like reading what you guys think. And as always, to those who have left reviews on previous chapters, you guys deserve all the love. (:
until next time xx
