Sasuke had left his apartment at 6 am to train on one of the training grounds. Why so early? Simple, he wanted his goddamn peace without the obnoxious blond and the annoying pinkette talking his ear off. So today was the perfect day since Team 7 doesn't have a mission nor training scheduled.
With his hands in his pockets he arrives at the training ground. From afar he can hear labored breathing. His first thought to simply turn around and go somewhere else to train but something felt familiar about the chakra signature of that peticular someone. Curiosity getting the best of him he continues his steps and his usual mask of indifference morphs into surprise by seeing his female teammate sitting under a tree with her leg propped up and her arm resting on it.
Sensing eyes on her and a chakra she had come to associate with her brooding teammate Sakura snaps her head in his direction with narrowed eyes.
Noticing that the Uchiha had been noticed he comes forward and stops a few feet away from her. „What are you doing here Sakura?"
„Training obviously." She rolls her eyes at his question. „Wanna spar?" She asks with a smirk adorning her face and eyes full of determination.
The Avenger seeing the spark in her eyes nods and motions for her to follow him to the center of the training ground. Sasuke observes her as she stands opposite to him with a fighting stance.
The wind picks up twirling the leaves around them when the last leave landed on the floor they rush at each other.

Pinning her arms down while panting harshly he slowly let's go of her and stands up. Smirking down at her he offers a hand. He, feels her slim hand slip into his and hoists her up.
Going over to the tree the Haruno grabs her bottle and takes a few gulps she then passes it to her teammate avoiding his gaze.
Emptying the bottle he places it back onto the ground and gives her a nod of gratitude. „How long have you been?" The Sharingan wielder had noticed that she had improved drastically. That would mean that she had to be training for a long time.
„Since 5... I think" mumbles Sakura scratching at the back of her head with a frown. „I had asked Lee-san for some advice regarding training and it really helps!" Now sporting a huge smile on her she fails to notice the mood of the boy turning dark.
Watching the Kunoichi sit down he follows and sits beside her against the tree and lists every death possible in his head. Sasuke feeling a weight on his shoulder looks to his side and sees the girl sleeping peacefully. He recalls many times when similar moments happened and couldn't help but let a tiny smile break through the surface of his facade.

Feeling drained he snuggles his face into her hair and breathes the smell of it and kisses the top of her head. To tired to realise his affectionate gesture he falls asleep.
