A/N: The second chapter will be about the Uchiha household. Each story is separated by a horizontal line. So please read these stories individually. They are not linked! Also do take note that I write a lot of adult Sasuke & Sakura (in Boruto-verse).
Story 1: Sasuke & Sarada
"Papa!" Sarada runs towards Sasuke who has just reached home from his long mission and has plopped into the sofa.
"What is it, Sarada?" He smiles at Sarada while stroking her hair gently.
"Welcome home!" She hugs him tightly. "You hair has gotten long again," she pouts.
"Shh," Sasuke whispered, putting a finger on Sarada's lips. "Your hair's longer now too."
"Yeah, I wanna be like papa! Papa is cool so I want to be more like him." Sarada grinned, but Sasuke was already fast asleep due to fatigue.
"Oh well, it's a lil' secret then," she giggled.
Story 2: Sasuke & Sakura
Sasuke comes home after a long mission. He sinks into the sofa, dead tired. Sakura offers him a massage.
As she was massaging his back, she notices a wound. She then softly asks him, "what happened, my dear?"
"I'll tell you later, let me hear stories about you and Sarada first."
Sakura is thankful at this moment that she's a medic ninja; Sasuke is also not too concerned because he knew Sakura's skill could heal it up in no time.
Sakura fixes Sasuke's wound while telling him about all that's happened in their household while he was gone.
After she was done, Sasuke gently pulls Sakura closer so that she could rest on his chest.
They had a pleasant evening just talking about anything and everything, filling up each other with the days that they were apart.
Story 3: Sasuke, Sakura, Sarada
"Sakura, i need to talk to you," Sasuke's tone was serious.
"Hmm, what is it, Sasuke-kun?" she raised her eyebrow. She was just about to go for grocery shopping.
"Where are you going?" Sasuke notices.
"To the market."
"Oh. Can i come along?" Sasuke asks sheepishly.
"Nope, you cant," Sakura raises her index finger, gesturing a no-no. "What was it that you wanted to talk about?"
Sasuke's eyes scan the room, looking a little nervous. "About that.. I noticed Sarada has been ignoring me lately. Now I feel like you are too. Did I do something?"
Sakura giggles.
"Well, just think long and hard about what day it is! I'll be off," Sakura takes her leave.
"What day is it...?"
Sasuke spent the entire time pondering about it but he couldn't figure out. Sakura came home seeing that he hasn't moved from his position.
"Sarada!" Sakura calls their daughter from the kitchen and you could hear little footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Mama, what is it?" Sarada pokes her head out.
"I'm ready, what about you? Papa's been waiting for a long time till he's getting curious," Sakura winked.
"Yup, I'm done!"
Sasuke looks at them, still confused about their conversation.
Then he heard them sing a familiar song. "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~"
Sasuke was surprised by how they celebrated for him when he couldn't even remember his own birthday.
"Here you go, papa!" Sarada hands Sasuke a handmade letter that she was working on until now. "I'm sorry it took so long that I had to 'ignore' you, papa. I also wanted to make it a surprise, that's why."
"Thank you, Sarada. Can I read it now?"
"N-no!" Sarada seem embarrassed.
"Well, let's eat the cake first, shall we?" Sakura interrupts.
Sasuke makes three wishes before blowing the candle. One, his family will always be safe. Two, that Sarada will grow up well. And three, that he will be around to see Sarada grow up.
"Thank you, Sakura, Sarada."
Story 4: Sasuke & Sakura
"Sakura..." Sasuke creeps through the door of Konoha hospital, injured.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura hurries to his aid. "That's such a deep wound! Here, we have to treat it quickly."
"No, before that..." Sasuke groans in pain, but wraps an arm around his wife. "I missed you... a lot."
Sakura flushed, embarrassed by Sasuke's sudden declaration. She returns the hug, clenching to his body tightly. She missed him too. She was worried sick when Sasuke didn't come back the day he promised her.
"Sakura, it hurts..." Sasuke winced, but he understood. He was sorry.
Sakura lets go, suddenly realising that she's getting too emotional. "Sorry about that, Sasuke-kun. I missed you too. So much."
He smiled. Distance do make the heart grow fonder after all, he thought.
Sakura guided Sasuke calmly to the vacant bed and started healing him.
"Dummy, healing your wound should take priority," Sakura murmured.
Sasuke smirked. "No, I couldn't wait anymore after seeing your face. Just by hugging you already healed me," Sasuke laughed, trying to joke, and that made Sakura give him a light bump. But she smiled.
"Me too."
