Prompt: 631 - Before they jump into battle, Sasuke kisses Sakura just in case he doesn't survive: seize the day/always wanted to/etc. kind of thing. And lets just say that Sakura isn't happy about that.
He grabbed her hand before she could follow Naruto into the battle.
"Sasuke-kun, what are you—?"
But Sasuke wasn't listening to what Sakura was saying. Instead, he fixated on her lips, wondering what would happen if he just kissed her, right then and there. He imagined the two of them, neither enemies nor lovers but rather something in between, sharing a kiss right before they entered the battlefield and smirked. It seemed fitting, almost poetic. And before she could finish the rest of her sentence, Sasuke pulled Sakura's body closer to his and kissed her.
Wow.
However, Sakura didn't seem to enjoy it as much as Sasuke did and pushed him off of her, her hand going to her lips, eyes wide. But once the initial shock wore off, Sakura slapped him, nearly screeching, "What the hell was that for?"
That was unexpected. Sasuke rubbed his cheek and raised his brow. "I thought—"
"Well, you thought wrong, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura snapped, turning her back to him. "What were you thinking?"
Even though she wasn't facing him, Sasuke shrugged. "It just felt right."
She twitched. "You've got to be kidding," Sakura said under her breath. "You can't just do something like that because you felt like it!" She turned around. "Especially after everything that's happened! Only a few minutes ago, I was still under the impression that you were going to destroy Konoha! Things like this, like kissing me," she paused, her hand going to her lips once more. She could still feel the warmth of his lips on hers. She shook her head. "They need time."
Beat.
"Fine," Sasuke said, walking towards her. "Then I'll just take it back."
Instinctively, Sakura took a step back, wary of the look he was giving her. "Take it back?" she said, "What the hell is that supposed to mean—"
And once again, before Sakura could even finish what she was saying, Sasuke kissed her. The surprise was still there, but this time there was no struggle from her, much to Sasuke's contentment, as he deepened the kiss. "There," he said, once he pulled away, the corners of his mouth turning upwards into his characteristic smirk. "Now it's like it never happened."
Sakura blinked. "B-but—"
"Come on, Sakura. Let's go," he said, taking her hand and pulling her towards the battlefield. "I'm sure this war will give you enough time."
However, before they could leave, Sakura dug her heels into the ground. "Wait!" she exclaimed, finally finding her voice. "I don't think that's how it works, Sasuke-kun!"
But Sasuke just shook his head and turned to her, amused with her antics. "Sakura, even now" he said, chucking softly, "You're still annoying."
