"We could be heroooooeeees!"

Sasuke closed his eyes.

"Me and yooooouuuuu!"

He took a deep breath and let it out in a sigh.

"Weee could beeeeeeee!" The beat dropped, and Sakura started dancing wildly as she held on to the microphone. Naruto jumped from his seat and started dancing with her. It wasn't long until Ino joined in as well.

Sasuke pinched the bridge of his nose. He really didn't want to be here, in a small karaoke room, crammed with all their friends. But he was still sitting on the couch, as he had been for more than four hours, for two reasons: Naruto dragged him, and Sakura was here.

He eyed the empty shot glasses on the table and shifted his gaze back to Sakura. Her cheeks were flushed, she had a wide grin on her face, and she sang horribly off key. No one cared, though. They were all too drunk to notice. Except Sasuke.

In his sober state, he was able to see Sakura in a new state of rawness. She'd always been carefree and fun-loving, but this was a different level. She was wild. Although he thought that he wouldn't like it, he found it strangely endearing that she could easily toss her worries and inhibitions away. The corner of Sasuke's lips tugged upward and he took a sip of his beer. He would let her have fun tonight. She deserved a break, and to unwind. He would be there to bring her home and take care of her in the morning. What were husbands for, right?

Going home, Sakura didn't put up a fight or cause any fuss, for the most part. She mumbled softly and sang, half-asleep and all drunk. He smirked when she whispered sweet yet incoherent things to him. Finally, they reached their home. It was a small flat—being a newly married couple, they didn't need much space. Times like tonight, he was thankful everything was so near.

Carefully, Sasuke placed her down on the bed. When Sakura shifted to make herself comfortable, Sasuke stood up and headed toward the shower. However, he stopped in his tracks when he heard her speak.

"Sasuke-kun?"

"Aa." He glided back and knelt by the bed to hear her properly.

"Do you think…" Her eyes were closed and her lips kept moving, but little to no sound was coming out. "Do… you…"

He inched his face closer to hers to hear her better.

"Do you think I can be…a hero?"

Sasuke smirked and brushed her pink locks out her face. "You're already a hero, Sakura."

A soft smile graced her lips and she opened her eyes before whispering, "You're a hero, too."

He opened his mouth to retort, but she stopped him by whining, "No arguuuuing! I'm tiiiired and sleepyyyyy! Get in heeeere."

With a low chuckle, Sasuke joked, "I have such a demanding wife."

He took his shirt and pants off before climbing into bed. Sakura eagerly gravitated toward him to rest her head on his chest. He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close.

If only she knew how much of a hero he saw her as.

If only he knew how much of a hero she saw him as.

Perhaps they could discuss that in the morning, but for now, sleep.

A/N: I'm still alive! Terribly sorry I wasn't able to update this collection as much as I would have wanted to. I have a lot of them lined up now! Will go back to posting once a week. :) I hope you've all been well. Do leave me a review to let me know what you think, pretty please? They keep me inspired.
