Prompt: 631 - Team 7 has been fighting side by side and it seems like Konoha is winning, so Sasuke takes it upon himself to claim Sakura as his!
She must have been dreaming.
Because there was no way that Sasuke was kissing her. And she certainly wasn't kissing him back. That would be silly, absurd, preposterous. Besides, if she remembered correctly, it was Sasuke who made the first move, which, if she thought about it, seemed highly unlikely to happen in real life, especially in the middle of the battlefield. Thus, Sakura came to the conclusion that it wasn't really happening, so it was okay for her to be kissing Sasuke. Why not? It was her dream after all.
"Geez, teme, let the girl breathe, will ya?"
Sakura froze, opening her eyes slowly, and gasped. And suddenly aware of the position they were in, she jerked away from Sasuke and pinched herself. She looked around; everyone was staring, and she could feel the heat begin to creep up to her cheeks. Okay, not a dream.
Naruto continued, "I know we're doing well, but we haven't won yet. Don't you think that could wait until later?"
Sasuke scoffed, "Shut up, dobe." He took Sakura's hand in his and brought her closer to him—gently, and yet, at the same time, possessively—while Sakura, still in a daze, let him.
"Whatever," Naruto said, motioning for everyone else to follow him, "Come on! We have to move forward! We've still got a war to win!"
It wasn't until Sasuke began pulling Sakura forward that she found her voice, the shock of the last few minutes gone. "You didn't have to do that, you know," she said, releasing her hand from Sasuke's grip, not caring that they were almost being left behind, "Kiss me, as if to claim me as yours. I'm not a possession, Sasuke-kun."
Sasuke stared at her, unable to read her expression, now regretting his action. His eyes went to Naruto, the anger starting to grow; maybe there was something going on between the two. "You're right," he said, turning away, clenching his fists, "I shouldn't have done that. You and Naruto can—"
"No, it's not because of that," Sakura said, interrupting him. Her hands went to one of his, gently unclenching his fist and intertwining her fingers with his. "I'm just saying it shouldn't have come to that." She went on her tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek. "Because I've always been yours, Sasuke-kun, and nothing has changed."
