SasuSaku FanFiction (One Shots) 🌸

Love, Joy, Peace, Hope

I missed writing a lengthy fluff fic for SasuSaku so here's a domestic Uchiha Family fic to thank you all for the support you have been giving me in the past 2 years! Maraming Salamat (Thank you very much) for all the kudos/likes and reviews you guys have been generously giving my fics. Your acceptance to me in the fandom and appreciation for my works have encouraged me greatly especially during times wherein it is difficult for me to appreciate myself and what I do.

I hope that in the same way, this fic would bring you the comfort and happiness that this fandom and its amazing people have given me! Enjoy!

Much love,

A

(This work was beta-read by my amazing friend Laine-O! :D)

Being well acquainted with anger and grief has been something akin to second nature for Sasuke. Growing up, every other emotion was unfamiliar to him unless it was anything close to these. For him, even with the mind of a prodigy, joy was a term that he could not understand. Peace was something that needed to be fought for at the expense of one's life. And love was just a mere chain from a failed past.

That's why a part of him still could not believe that he reached this point in his life, one that eradicated his second nature and introduced him to so many things his calloused heart had failed to feel throughout the years.

Now he knew, love was a mixture of pink and green that ever so willingly chose to blend with purple and black.

Joy was a resounding cry of a tiny bundle inside one of those hideouts that he almost completely left behind.

And peace was this – finally being able to stay with his Love and Joy after a long-term mission.

These were the thoughts that circled his mind as he took in his surroundings. The vast backyard filled with greens and browns was a reminder that he was indeed home. And the pieces of plywood scattered all over the place along with the hammer in his hand were indicators that he still had a future.

He went on with his task when he suddenly heard his favorite voice from behind, "You're so cute, Anata."

Sasuke wanted to be flustered, but he was more confused with the implication of his wife's random compliment. Is it the hormones again?

He turned his head to face her as she leaned on the doorframe with dazzling eyes and a vibrant smile, caressing her belly gently with a hand. You're the one who's cute, he mused. The sight made his chest warm, reminding him that truly, this was a reality far beyond anything he had imagined for the future.

"It's not every day you get to see three Sasuke Uchihas helping each other build a crib for his second baby," Sakura added with a chuckle as she walked closer to him.

Weirdly, he was expecting a kiss when she stood at his side, but her hand only glowed and casually healed a cut he didn't notice he had on his forearm. Hiding his slight disappointment, he proceeded to arrange two plywoods with two strong hands.

"And I haven't seen the Susanoo for quite a while."

"Hn. There's no need to use it for battles these days."

Sakura gazed at him with a smile. "Right," she hummed. "I'm proud of you, Anata."

"What for?" Sasuke faced her again.

"For all that you've done to protect us. To protect the village. I know how much you've sacrificed, Sasuke-kun. But all those years and efforts were worth it. We're where we are now because of you." Sakura reached out to wipe some sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief, a content smile plastered on her radiant face. "And we have a better future because of you."
