Sakura had ended up sleeping beside Sasuke's bed after attending him. Since the kunoichi had woken up pretty early today, she also got tired instantly. She had thought of a five minutes nap to cover up for waking up at four o'clock but ended up dozing in Sasuke's ward, waiting for him to wake.

On the other hand, Sasuke had been awake for half an hour now but he dare now voice it out. It came to him as a surprise when he felt something heavy against his waist, however, it quickly dissolved the moment he saw a tired Sakura sleeping by his bed.

Sasuke was shocked to see her. It has been three months, eighty-nine days since he realized his love for Sakura, once again. She had changed, not much though. Her short hair has grown till her waist, making him remember those genin days. His lips curled thinking about the genin Sakura and he has admitted, that the kunoichi has matured a lot since then.

It shows how much hard work she puts into her work, she has always been like that, tch. She must be tired after working so much.

Pink, soft hair lay sprawled over Sasuke's lap whose's hand unintentionally inched towards it, to feel the gentleness of the ill-tempered kunoichi even though he has been the only one who had the pleasure to be spoiled by her.

The painless movements in his body didn't go neglected by the Uchiha who knew that the pinkette must have seen through it.

And I threw it all away. I hurt her, Sasuke snickered hatefully pulling back his hand before he could feel her gentleness ever again. He doesn't deserve it.

Black eyes traced the features of her scarless face knowing that he doesn't deserve to touch her but his eyes can always capture her delicate moments, he isn't allowed to.

“I am sorry for everything, Sakura”. Sasuke whispered closing his eyes as if he anguishes to see her like this. Still caring for him even after he broke her, breaks him too. Why does she love me? Whoever I have loved has died, whoever I love now, has been hurt by me from my darkness yet they wait for me at the end of the tunnel.

I have hurt her countless times but again and again, she has been there to heal my wounds, never caring about the one I left behind. I left her behind but she still loves me. Her only mistake is that she has given me countless opportunities and forgiven me. I have made myriad awful choices, leaving that night is one of those and hurting her is one of the major regrets in my life. I wish I was wrong about the fact that you still love me because, at the end of the dawn, I was going to hurt you again. I have never wanted to feel so wrong when I am in love with you.

The sudden movement against his thigh startled him. He quickly glanced back at Sakura who was starting to wake up. Suddenly feeling all unnerved, Sasuke didn't know how to act so he did what he always does. Put on an unconcerned face.

Sakura yawned, stretching her arms and nearly punching Sasuke in the face who dodged on time or he would require an emergency check-up after that. Sasuke heaved out a nervous sigh, peeking through her pink hair to see if she was out of her sleep now.

Wrong timing.

Sakura stretched her arms, “Mom, I don't want to wake up”. She moaned, visualizing herself in her house.

Purple and blue, that would be the exact shade of Sasuke's face after getting hit by Sakura in his gut, “Ah!”. He cried silently, falling back into his bed unconscious just as Sakura woke up fully. Finally aware of her surroundings.

“Did I sleep for too long?”. She asked herself, checking her wristwatch.

“Damn it! I slept for nearly two hours”.

Her eyes roamed over to Sasuke's figure when she thought of sleep. The kunoichi looked at the Uchiha confused, “Why hasn't he woken up by now?”.

She put her hand over Sasuke's waist, just where she hit him unconsciously, immediately waking him from his sleep with a flinch. Sakura jumped back, embarrassed thinking she touched one of his past injuries.

Sasuke's face looked like he was ready to leave this world. Fighting with that teme hurts less, ouch.

A worried pinkette voiced her concern, “Daijōbu?”.

“Do I look like that?”. Sasuke spoke coldly before he could stop himself or more like he doesn't know how to talk to people 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺.

Sakura who is used to his talking habits overlooked it, “No. You don't that's why you were sent here”. She smiled cheerfully and how could Sasuke break the delusional when she has taken the credit to break the bones of her patients.

I probably deserved it.

“Hn”. Ah! How much has Sakura missed Sasuke's mild answers, she smiled secretly.

“How do you feel Sasuke-kun?”. She implored sweetly, jade eyes shining bright in anticipation.

“Fine”. As fine as someone would feel after getting hit by your fist.

“You sure? Your voice sounds a bit in pain”. Sasuke blushed in embarrassment and laid back, ignoring her comment.

“It’s nothing”. Sakura wanted to dig further but decided against it upon noticing his rigorous demeanor. She wanted to do another check-up on him since he was awake but seeing that he wants to sleep, she delayed the action.

“I’ll go then and come back later with some lunch, wakatta?”.

“Hn”.

Rather than feeling bothered by his usual uninterested word, she felt content. She missed talking with him and hearing his vague answer, it isn't that he is apathetic, it's just the way he communicates or lack thereof.

I hope it's clear that when the paragraph or sentence is in Italics it means the POV of the particular character.

Ps. Cute of Sasuke to not tell Sakura or she would feel bad 💘
