See the Light

Sakura woke the next morning reminiscing about the time she and Sasuke had spent at the beach the day before. Sasuke reached over and hugged her near him. “Good morning.” He said kissing her. Sakura smiled.

“Good morning.” Sakura began to get up out of bed but Sasuke pushed her back down.

“Don’t go anywhere yet.” He pleaded with her. Sakura was getting up to get dressed in order to go to the hospital. It was where she spent much of her time these days. Sakura giggled.

“I have to go to work, angel.” She said wrapping her arms around Sasuke. This only made her want to stay in bed with him more.

“No you don’t, you can stay here.” Sasuke said digging his face into her chest.

“I have 13 physicals to give today and eight different treatments.” Sakura insisted locking lips with the man she had waited too long to wake up in bed with.

“Okay, well, what time is your lunch?” Sasuke asked sitting up in her bed.

“Damn, why does he have to look so sexy all the fucking time?” Sakura wondered to herself. “12:30.” She answered him stroking his obsidian hair.

“Alright, I’ll bring you lunch today and I’ll do your laundry today.” Sasuke said. Sakura smiled and bit her lower lip; She leaned in so her nose was resting on his.

“Will you fuck me today too?” Her voice was playful. Sasuke kissed her, his tongue sneaking into her mouth.

“Hell, yeah I will.” He said. Sakura smiled all over and finally got out of bed. She got dressed and hurried out the door. Sakura hadn’t had this much spring in her step for years. Sakura practically bounced to the hospital. She checked her mailbox on the reception floor and then made her way to the 4th floor where she spent much of her time.

“You’re bright today.” Shizune commented watching Sakura dance through the hallway. Sakura beamed.

“You know Sasuke, right?” she asked prepping a needle.

“Yeah, I think I know who he is.” Shizune said putting away some files.

“Well, let’s just say I’m a woman now, Shizune.” Sakura said pulling out a set of medical charts for the upcoming physicals she had to give. Shizune let this set in for a moment.

“No! Sakura! You…oh, did it hurt?” Shizune was mildly shocked. Sakura laughed.

“Hell, yeah it hurt, but it was totally worth it.” Shizune glanced around.

“Is he…” Sakura cut her off.

“Oh…Shizune. It’s quite a sight.” Sakura winked. “And it’s all mine…all of it.” Shizune laughed at her. It was obvious Sakura was a different person.
“So, are you going to tell me about it?” Shizune pried for more information.
“Oh, Shizune. I’m not a girl to kiss and tell…but I am one who has sex and never shuts up!” Skuar said laying out her patient folders in order of who was coming in today for their physical. Sakura then took the liberty of describing in detail the night that she lost her virginity to Sasuke. Shizune took great amusement in listening to Sakura. She would never admit it, but she was a virgin and she had spent a great deal of time collecting information on everyone else’s first time so she would know exactly what to expect when it was her.
Back at Sakura’s apartment Sasuke had already made Sakura’s bed and was preparing to do her wash. He figured he could start making everything they had been through together up to her by helping her around the house. He knew this was only a start and that he had a long way to go. Sasuke immediately got a start on her laundry. He actually enjoyed this because he got to sort through all her underwear. He wasn’t certain why he enjoyed that so much, but he did. He had sorted her piles into three separate loads. While one load was in the wash he decided he would unpack his clothes into one of her drawers.

Sakura’s morning went by quickly, probably because she was so excited about her lunch with Sasuke. She had gotten half of her treatments and three physicals done already that morning. She had some dead time so she figured it would be a good opportunity for her to write out her daily medical reports and roam the 3rd floor to check on patients that were currently staying in the hospital. She remembered the days when she was still in medical training with the Hokage. She had loved so much learning how to save the lives of others. Now, she was quite good at her trade, she was even a help on missions being a medic and all. She felt that she was so much more useful than she once was. She pushed her medical reports aside and left to go roam the 3rd floor. It hadn’t taken Sakura long; she returned a few moments before her lunch hour officially began. She was to meet Sasuke outside on the 2nd floor terrace. It overlooked the streets of Konoha and provided the perfect place for the employees of the hospital to take a break.
Sakura left her floor and made her way to the terrace. Sure enough there was Sasuke sitting at one of the tables near the edge of the terrace staring out into the traffic below. Sakura walked out to him and sat down across from him.

“Busy morning?” he asked her unpacking their lunch. He had decided to buy their lunch since he wasn’t the best cook in the world.

“Not really, I’ve managed to keep myself busy.” Sakura said watching him push her lunch in front of her. It was fried eggplant and miso with pork and a hard boiled egg. Sakura couldn’t wait. She broke her chopsticks as Sasuke pulled the same from the bag.

“Itidakumasu!” Sakura said as she immediately dove into her delicious meal. “Thank you, Sasuke for bringing me lunch. It’s delicious.”

“It’s no problem. I wanted to come eat with you.” He answered her. “Remember when you came to visit me in the hospital? You brought me lunch…but I refused it.” Sasuke said remembering when he was hurt and how Sakura had tried to care for him.

“Yeah, I remember.” Sakura answered. She wasn’t bothered by the fact that it had happened; she was just thankful he was eating lunch with her now. They talked Sakura’s entire lunch hour away. She hated having to leave him alone for the rest of the day. Sasuke cleaned up their containers and she kissed him goodbye.
“When I come home today…I’m your nurse.” Sakura said her emerald eyes on fire.
