Hey look, I'm back! And I still have no idea where this story is going cuz I have once again typed this up on the spot. So...enjoy~
Disclaimer: Nope, I do not own Naruto or the characters in this little fanfic.
It was nothing new for Sasuke to wake up to bright white lights against a pale white ceiling. Finding himself in a hospital bed after fights and missions was just the norm for him.
However, this was different.
Crash!
Sasuke opened his eyes as further clattering and semi-muffled voices, they were shouting after all, sounded.
"Naruto!" someone scolded.
"Ow, Sakura-chan, you didn't have to hit me that hard!"
"Well that's what you get for spilling Sasuke's tea, now clean this mess up!"
Sasuke momentarily ignored his teammates' bickering as his eyes adjusted to the dim light. He soon realized he was in his own bed. In his own room. In his own house.
"What the…"
His thoughts trailed off as the door to his room slowly opened and a pink head poked its way through.
"Oh, Sasuke, you're up." Sakura greeted with a soft smile.
She continued to enter the room with a tray of tea and Naruto, who was rubbing an already forming bump on his head, followed behind.
"Teme" he greeted.
"Hn, dobe."
Sakura ignored the two and set the tray down on the nightstand next to Sasuke's bed.
He began to sit up, then winced once he felt his wound.
"Careful Sasuke. It turned out that blade was poisoned." Sakura cautioned.
He responded by blankly looking down at the clean bandages wrapped around his chest.
"Heh, yeah teme. But lucky for you, Sakura-chan was able to get all the poison out. She really is amazing you know."
Sakura allowed herself to blush just a little at Naruto's complement.
"It was nothing, really. I'd do anything to help my boys." She laughed
Naruto grinned and Sasuke looked up slightly amused at Sakura's remark.
Yep, that was just how the reunited Team Seven rolled.
They actually got along quite well nowadays. Of course, it did take them years of struggling, tears, bruises, and heartbreaks to reach the point they were now at, but it was definitely worth it all in the end.
There was a small pause of silence until Sasuke broke it with the one question circling through his head.
"So…why exactly are we all in my house instead of the hospital?"
Naruto and Sakura looked at each other nervously.
"Well, umm…" Naruto scratched the back of his head.
"You see Sasuke, when we finally got back to Konoha, all the hospital rooms were full."
Naruto shot a look at Sakura, who then elbowed him in the ribs, smiling a smile a little bit too forced.
"Uh, yeah! That's right!" he went along. "I even tried yelling at them to give you a room, but those stupid clerks wouldn't let us in." He laughed uneasily.
Sasuke only stared them down, not buying any of it.
"Gahh! You win!" Sakura and Naruto surrendered in unison.
After all, who could stand up against the stare of the sole remaining Uchiha?
"It was my idea." Sakura confessed.
"But I agreed." Naruto chipped in.
"Go on…" Sasuke urged, somewhat impatient.
"Well, we just wanted to…um, see what it was like." Sakura answered.
"See what what was like?"
Naruto and Sakura both blushed and looked away.
"See what" Naruto gulped, embarrassed, "living together…"
"And taking care of someone we both care about was like." Sakura finished, face red.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"What. Are. You. Guys. On?" Sasuke asked, questioning the sanity of his two teammates.
"Teme," Naruto cleared his throat.
"We're engaged."
Sakura held up her left hand, which displayed a shimmering diamond ring.
Click.
Sasuke's eyes flew open to bright white lights against a pale white ceiling.
"Oops, I didn't mean to wake you up." Sakura apologized, entering the room. "How are you feeling?"
It took a few moments for Sasuke to gain his bearings.
"Sakura," he slowly spoke, looking her straight in the eye after carefully looking her over, "just how much did you drug me up?"
Totally lost, the ringless girl could only look clueslessly at the boy's serious face.
Loll, do ya get it? If ya need a hint, try looking up the song "Just a Dream". ;)
