SasuSaku FanFiction (One Shots) 🌸

When He's Home

It was almost midnight when Sakura came home from a medical mission that she and the other medical ninjas conducted. Yawning while stretching her arms a bit, she walked across their living room and found a note on the center table.

Mama,

We made dinner and it's in the refrigerator. You could just heat it up if you're hungry. Rest well!

Love,

Sarada

A smile appeared on her lips at the sweetness of her daughter until she noticed something. "Hang on. We?"

Is Sasuke-kun home?

She rushed to their bedroom and true enough, her raven-haired husband was sleeping there. It was amusing for her to see him as if he was a baby, with his steady breaths and gentle snores that were like music to her ears. Sighing happily, she paced through the room with gentle movements and found herself gazing steadily at his face. It's been quite a while since the last time she saw him peacefully comfortable with his guard down, so much unlike the block of ice that everyone knows, and it made her feel totally delighted to come home to such a sight despite the exhaustion she had been feeling the whole day.

Another yawn escaped her lips, signalling it was time for her to rest as well. She then planted a soft kiss on his cheek before lying down and facing her side of the bed.

It was moments before she fell into a deep slumber when she felt an arm make its way around her waist. Sasuke soon nuzzled his face into her hair, making a smile form on her lips. She missed having him beside her a lot, and with the way he pulled her closer, it seemed like her husband felt the same way too.

"I really think you should come home more often so you could fully rest, Sasuke-kun." Sakura sighed, caressing the bare shoulders of her husband for a much needed massage.

It was late at night when he appeared at their doorstep. And she didn't fail to notice a few wounds and bruises here and there. I wonder how many enemies he has to encounter along the way. In an instant, she healed those wounds with her chakra and offered to give him a massage which he gladly accepted.

"I could sleep in the woods, Sakura."

"That's exactly the point. You can't completely relax there. You don't even have a comfortable sleeping bag like those that we used when we were travelling together. I just can't imagine how difficult it was for you all those years ago." She frowned as she pressed parts of his nape to ease off some tension there.

Sasuke knew that it was better for him not to banter with his wife now for she was in an accessible position to crush his bones with her superhuman strength. "But I'm here now, right?" He gently said as he tilted his face towards his wife.

Still, she didn't seem pleased, but she continued to massage his back while he was comfortably seated in front of her.

"You just worry too much," Sasuke muttered after a few silent moments.

Sakura huffed. "Because I just love you too much."

His wife's words despite her irritation didn't fail to make him smile. He found it funny how a few simple words could have the power to take away all the tension and pain in his system. He just wished he could actually show more of the love that Sakura also deserves. After all, she's right, he needs to come home more often and not miss moments like this.
