prompt: Phobia
A/N: Day 3. Happy birthday, Hyuuga Neji! I still can’t fathom the fact that he’s gone and all. :( This is so rushed.

“What’s wrong with her?”
Naruto looked up from slurping his instant noodles, “...hm?”
They were currently on a mission, deciding to call it a night and managing to rent a room with two beds.
“Sakura.”
“What’s with Sakura-chan?” The blonde-haired asked, raising his eyebrows.
He looked away from Naruto, “She always looks scared whenever we’re going on a mission.” He explained.
Sasuke turned his gaze on his friend when he didn’t answer, finding the hokage-to-be looking as if he was lost in his thoughts.
“Well, you should know, you’re dating her for three months now,” he started, finally looking at him.
It was his turn to be confused, “About what?” He kind of felt irritated, knowing that he didn’t know something about Sakura.
Naruto smiled pensively, “She’s scared.”
“…of what?” His temper running thin. He couldn’t fathom how someone like Haruno Sakura—top medic of Konoha, the Godaime’s prized apprentice, a girl who could break your bones with her little pinkie—would be scared of something.
Naruto, exasperated, looked at him as if he was stupid. He glared at the idiot. “She’s scared of losing people. Especially you.”
To say he was shocked would be an understatement.
“…what?” She didn’t have any reason to be afraid of that, the war was long since over. “We’re not going anywhere.”
“I know. But we go on missions. Dangerous missions. We could die. That’s what she’s afraid of: that one day, one of us wouldn’t return alive.”
“That’s stupid.” He deadpanned. “She has everyone that’s dear to her. She never experienced what we had to go through.”
Naruto heaved a sigh, “Exactly the point, teme. She has everyone and losing that would break her. She almost did when you left.”
“What do you mean?”
“You mean the world to Sakura-chan. For her, losing you would be like losing everything.”
His eyes clashed with Naruto’s; the intensity of those blue eyes was too much that he had to look away.
“I’m not going anywhere. She—“ he didn’t realize what he was about to say until he did.
“—she’s everything to me too.”
