He examined your body until his eyes laid on your bandaged arm. he stepped back, eyes wide with realization.
"Y/n? Are you ok?" Sasuke shook you in attempt to wake you up. "Huh?" You stirred, slightly confused. "What are you talking about?, I'm fine" you said, agitated from being woken up. "That", he pointed towards your arm.
"O-oh yeah, that...like I said earlier, I just cut myself whilst sharpening my kunai." You said, now fully awake.
"Liar." Sasuke said bluntly. "What do you mean 'liar', look at my kunai, they're freshly sharpened." You almost shouted, scared for him to find out. Thankfully you sharpened your kunai the night before.
"Then what the hell is this?" He pulled the bloody blade out of your dresser drawer. You froze, unsure of what to do now. You knew you couldn't lie yourself out of this. You had to face the truth.
"Why?" Sasuke asked. "W-what?" You weren't sure what to say. "Why?" He asked again, his eyes glossy and his lip quivering. He looked like he was about to cry. Did this really upset him? Did he actually care?
Suddenly the guilt set in, it was your fault. You're the reason he's upset, the reason he was about to cry.
Sasuke set the blade down and walked towards you. He took a seat next to you on the bed.
Sasuke reached his arm around your shoulder and pulled you closer. He held you, almost like Itachi used to when you were upset.
His hands felt cold, colder than before but his embrace was warm, like it used to be. You reminisced about how he used to be, warm and kind, and really caring. He was more expressive before, but now, he's very kept to himself, cold and not so compassionate.
10 minutes ago by and Sasuke finally breaks the embrace, drawing an empty feeling around you from the sudden lack of warmth. Sasuke turns and looks at you, "y/n.. can you promise me something?"
"Depends"
"Can you promise me you'll come to me if you have these urges again?"
You pause, taking a moment to think about his question. Could you really promise him? You didn't want to make a promise you couldn't keep.
"I can't promise you but I'll try."
"Thank you, y/n"
"No problem"

A day later you and the rest of team 7 we're summoned by the hokage to discuss your next mission.
Naruto, of course, had to complain about never getting any good missions and got us stuck with an escort mission. You didn't hate escorts, you just didn't care for the person you were escorting. He was an old dude that worked in construction...or something.
You couldn't have cared less about his profession, you were more worried about your two secrets (your crush and sh).
After your interaction with Sasuke when he found the bloody blade, he's been keeping an eye on your wound and checking your arms for any new ones.
Though you did say you'd try to control the urges and talk to him if need be, you still wanted to do it more. No matter how much you tell yourself no, you just keep thinking about it.
You, team 7, and the old man we're set off for his destination. You standing next to Sasuke in the back, the builder dude in the middle and Naruto, Kakashi and Sakura in the front.
