“Woah, Sasuke! That wound looks deep.” One of the prisoners, Sasuke didn’t bother to even remember his name knowing the exact words that would flow out of his mouth.
“You need to go to the nurse’s office; I can take you.” Ah there it was, those famous lines. Now knowing Sakura was the ‘new hot single doctor’ all the men were fawning over it didn’t sit right hearing all the lame excuses they would come up with to visit her.
Including helping their ‘friend’ so they can get a quick glance or have small talk with her. Shouldn’t she be dealing with emergencies. Sasuke wondered if the same happened back in Konoha too.
But then again.
‘Haaah, who do you think you are wasting our precious resources and time. You know there are actual people here dying?’
At the time Sasuke had only woken up in the hospital bed due to Sakura’s screaming. He didn’t really pay much attention to what she said and didn’t feel like asking when she was grumbling under her breath examining him. Best not to poke the beast as they say.
No, no men would dare as unlike here Sakura had to keep undercover to keep the peace. In Konoha she would use her temper to scare them away and what with Tsunade also running the hospital, they had two scary women keeping away the ‘fakes.’
Even so, he should do something about it.
“That’s not necessary. I can go myself.”
And a plan was already forming his mind.
“I can go with you Sasuke.” Jiji offered, he was the only one who knew they were husband and wife and what with everyone else also knowing he was smitten of the doctor it seemed like a good idea. However as grateful as he would be, Sasuke wondered if that would look too suspicious on accepting his help and no one else’s.
“Nice try Jiji, but you went to the doc with a small cut. I offered first; I’ll take Sasuke. Okay?” Guess he didn’t have much of a choice. Jiji gave him an apologetic smile as the man… whatever his name is, dragged him to the nurse’s office.
Doesn’t matter, he had formed a plan.
“Excuse me, doctor.” Sasuke called, the faceless man behind grinning away. Sakura looked over at them and then at the wound on Sasuke’s arm horrified.
“That’s a deep gash; it could almost have gotten infected. You should have come earlier with such a wound. Come here and take a seat.”
‘I would have had they not been arguing who gets to take me.’
Sasuke thought to himself pouting. No doubt she was really laying it into him on the fact he wasn’t taking care of himself.
“Don’t worry doc, Sasuke’s tougher than he looks. A wound like this would never stop him.”
“Even so, I’d rather not take any chances. My own job can be on the line, arm.” Sakura instructed reaching out for his arm but of course she knew better than anyone what Sasuke was capable of.
“Is it true that your single?” Sasuke spoke before the other guy could get another word in. Sakura froze and looked at him quizzically wondering what he was planning before continuing.
“I don’t see how it’s any of your business.” She tried to remain professional concentrating on her job.
“Just making small talk.” Sasuke shrugged and gave a small smirk adding.
“Your far too pretty to be single.” He enjoyed how easily flustered she got fully aware none of the other men here had that impact. Hopefully this will get them to back off.
“That… that’s inappropriate Uchiha-San.”
“Call me Sasuke.”
“I don’t think I will.”
“You know I think your name can go with mine. Uchiha Sakura doesn’t sound so bad.”
Sakura continued to ignore him.
“We can get dinner afterwards, it’s the least I can do.”
“He’s gone delirious after losing so much blood.” Sakura tried to explain to the other guy who had felt a little awkward and out of place which was a lame excuse as they all knew he hadn’t lost any.
“I feel fine doc,” he was enjoying watching her squirm and she was pissed!
After being given the all clear, the two of them headed back.
“Wait, what was that all about?” Sasuke tilted his head acting ‘innocently confused.’
“I mean that, with you… and the doc. I didn’t think you had any interest in her and I heard rumours you weren’t single-”
Hearing that he wasn’t sure of some may have overheard him speaking to Jiji or if they assumed so.
Either way.
“You shouldn’t always believe what you hear.” No way was he going to have that stopping him from flirting with his own wife. And with that Sasuke stepped around him feeling smug and proud.
‘Damn, with him in the picture there’s no way I can compete.’
“Sasuke-Kun, you can’t do this.”
“Do what?”
“The…the flirting…”
“Why not? Everyone else is.”
“You’re distracting me… don’t you think it may blow our cover?”
“Not really, a lot of women fawn over me.”
“Your cocky, aren’t you?” Sasuke snorted.
“And how would me not being smitten by you look? Wouldn’t the flirting look less suspicious?”
“That’s… I can’t handle it. It’s too much.” Too much for her heart to take. Especially in front of someone.
“Well then,” Sasuke stalked towards her cornering her against the wall. “Get used to it, doc.” He’ll be making his visits more frequent.
