"I never looked at you without seeing the sweetness of the way the world goes together, or without sorrow for its spoiling. I became a hero to serve you, and all that is like you."

After the dark-haired Uchiha and that blonde-know-it-all's bloody clash, the rose-haired kunoichi decided to heal the huge cut on the Uchiha's face.
The Uchiha survivor can't help but to smirk at her romantic actions and now that they're back to normal, he continued to bragged, "Hn. I knew it you're still in love with me."
"Don't be so cocky, Sasuke-kun." Sakura scoffed at the dark-haired survivor, still her healing hands on his freshly wounded pale face.
"Che." The cocky Uchiha said.
The pink-haired medic kunoichi cringed at the huge bruise on his face, after she stopped the bleeding; Sakura stood up and drawled at the Uchiha survivor, "Look, what you've done with your silky smooth skin! Your face was a mess and not only that, what if you got infection—"
Haruno Sakura was being irrational and the way she was anxious for this former avenger's own health made the dark-haired Uchiha survivor satisfied. After all, this persistent, loud and annoying girl filled his lonely existence with the feeling called love. He can't believe she didn't leave him for that scrawny ass blondie.
"Sakura..."
"And what will happen if I wasn't here to treat your wound? Sasuke-kun that will be a huge disaster and that wound will cause a huge scar on your face, that wouldn't—"
"Sakura..."
"We instantly needed you to be treated at the hospital—"
"You're being irrational, all that matters now is you're here by my side."
"Sasuke-kun."
Meanwhile, a mundane voice was heard across the place. It was none other than their other teammate slash annoying friend.
The former kyuubi container waved as he was in some kind of an old romance movie. He dramatically settled in front of the newly reunited couple and shrieked,
"Oi! Bastard! Sakura-chan! I knew I'll find you both here, I was—" Naruto grinned,
But the former kyuubi host was interrupted by the dark-haired Uchiha,
"Naruto, thank you." Uchiha Sasuke said peacefully.
The future Hokage just nodded at his direction and it seems like they have a hidden brother's code or something. It made Sakura wondered and confused.
Briskly, the cerulean-eyed ninja went over to the Uchiha survivor's side and whispered, "Did you fend off that Blondie? Listen, I lied about the marriage thingy."
But Sasuke didn't even cared if his best friend lied to him, the Uchiha survivor had realized if it wasn't for Naruto's meddling with his own personal affairs in life then he wouldn't realized how much important Sakura is to him.
He just smirked at the blonde ninja and half-smirked, "You're a moron."
"Heh, I guess if it wasn't for this moron you would be crying because Sakura-chan will be gone by now." Naruto hollered back.
Sasuke decided not to retort with his statement, after all it all thanks to his obnoxious blonde best friend that he made in time just to stop Sakura from leaving the village.
"What will the two of you do without me huh? Oh—I know how you guys can repay me. You can treat me at Ichiraku for the whole month! Fair deal huh?" The former kyuubi host piped happily.
Then the three of them burst out laughing.

Three months had passed and Sakura's memory had returned to normal. She was thankful that her shishou had discovered a new drug that could lead her brain to recover faster.
Naruto and Ino have arranged a get together party for all of their former classmates. Not knowing that Sasuke was already planning to ask Sakura to be his significant other at the same event.
Sasuke wanted to ask the pink-haired medic kunoichi formally to be his girlfriend in peace without any troubling people around them but Naruto obviously discovered the Uchiha survivor's plan in advance and with his obnoxious and loud mouth, Naruto decided to share it with Ino and the others.
They had to eavesdrop and brought along several people with them to witness Sasuke asking Sakura to be his special someone.
Uchiha Sasuke brought the pink-haired medic to the rooftop of the hotel; he decided that it will be romantic to ask her officially at the top of a building where no one can disturb them, not knowing that the Haruno maiden was a little tipsy from the party.
It was almost midnight and the crescent moon was shining above them.
"So…why did you bring me here *hic* Sasuke-kun?" The pink-haired medic sheepishly asked, her cheeks were reddened and judging by her occasional hiccup, she was half-drunk.
"I just want to get away from the crowd down stairs." The Uchiha survivor lied.
But Sakura just silently nodded. She continued to admire the scenery from the rooftop, and then an awkward silence continued.
The couple didn't know that Naruto and the others decided to eavesdrop at their conversation; the group followed them upstairs and currently was hiding behind the huge rooftop window covered with curtains.
"Sasukeh-kuwn, you knoow I don't knoow if I shuld share thiz wit youu *hic* but I tried to forget my feelings for you before *hic* but I jas sim can't doo eet *hic* you wenna knoow wai?" Sakura announced with a gibberish drunk tone.
The semi-drunk pink-haired girl slowly turned her body to the Uchiha's direction,
Another high-pitched hiccup was heard and miraculously her tone was different and it seems she was sobered up,
"Because it's my favorite mistake to forget you, Sasuke-kun, but it's hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember."
Sasuke gulped at her sudden statement, but knowing that she was still madly in love with him and her semi-drunk tone made him awkward and anxious, Sasuke cursed inwardly.
'Damn, she was really drunk.' Sweats started to form on his forehead then the Uchiha survivor continued,
"Hn. I know you won't forget me that easily." Sasuke devilishly smirks.
And when the pink-haired medic saw this, she instantly moved closer to the Uchiha survivor. Inches away from Sasuke's face, the pink-haired maiden could hear his heart beat pounding.
A subtle blush slowly appeared on Sakura's cheeks.
She continued to trail her petite fingers all the way down from his chest up to his face,
"I think my heart was as stubborn as your pride, Sasuke-kun. Because whatever happened between the two of us, this heart of mine, it wouldn't let go of my feelings for you." She continued to poke his chest playfully, the Uchiha survivor guessed she didn't just sipped a little red wine from the get together party, judging that she was more talkative and flirty than her usual self.
With those words, the Uchiha survivor smiled darkly.
"Sakura."
He could smell the mix of vanilla and cherry blossom scent on her.
His heart beat was racing and all he could think of was her pouty lips.
Her emerald-colored eyes were alluring him.
For a fleeting moment, Uchiha Sasuke wanted to get lost inside her enthralled emerald orbs.
Sasuke wasn't sure when the last time his heart had ever pounded so quickly. It feels like his heart is going to explode or something.
The dark-haired ninja pulled Sakura into him. With his onyx orbs locked into her emerald-colored eyes.
He touched a strand of her bubblegum-colored tress that perfectly framed her petite face and green eyes.
"You're still damn annoying after all this time." He grunted.
The pink-haired ninja noticed the visible scar from his fight with Shi. She was right, that the bruise caused him a scar, and she continued to trace the visible scar from his face.
Still his half-lidded eyes were fixated on hers.
"Do you wanna know why you're so damn annoying?" He was still twirling her hair.
The way Sasuke let the pink-haired girl touch his face is truly remarkable. He doesn't mind her touching his bare naked face, but her hand stopped when she heard his deep truculent voice.
But the pink-haired kunoichi just remained silent with his silly taunt. Her eyes were still glued onto his onyx orbs.
The red tint on her cheeks deepened.
Her heart races rapidly.
Her palms are starting to get sweaty.
She could feel his body warm inches from her.
And more than anything, the almighty Uchiha survivor wanted to feel his lips on hers.
"Because you make me feel vulnerable…with your love and I hated it so much, but I guess I can no longer ran away from it, neither do you." Sasuke disclosed.
Just as the longing became unbearable, the dark-haired Uchiha rapidly crushed his aching lips onto hers. The warmth of her lips sent a magical jolt all over his body.
Sakura on the hand rested her right hand on his shoulder while the Uchiha survivor was aggressively cupping her face.
The two of them was lost inside their captivating grip with each other.
When they are done with each other, Sasuke pulled away and softly whispered into Sakura's ears. The dark-haired Uchiha finally gripped Sakura's waist.
"Sakura, do you want to be my…"
With those words, Sakura's blush deepened. She had totally forgotten his inquiry.
'I was totally lost with his kiss!' Her Inner sneered.
"OF COURSE— I do!" The pink-haired kunoichi exclaimed.
Upon hearing that the pink-haired girl had accepted his proposal, Sasuke smirked and continued their interrupted kiss.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and allowed herself to be kissed again by him.
Without the newly couple's knowledge, that on the other side of the curtain, Naruto and Ino and the rest of rookies were cheering for the two of them.
Kiba was wolf-whistling, "THAT'S HOW IT IS! YEAAAAH. GO FOR IT UCHIHA!" while clapping his hands like he was just done watching a sappy romantic movie.
Naruto was gripping Hinata's waist while she was blushing deeply.
Ino was shouting on the top of her lungs and cheering and shouting, "YOU GO FOREHEAD! WHOOOOOO!"
Shino was just watching the scene silently, wondering why he allowed these idiots to drag him into an intimate moment of their former classmates.
Shikamaru thought it was such a drag to witness their proposal.
Sai was just jotting notes and it seems like he was studying them.
Choji was indifferent; he was just not amused with the romantic scene.
Tenten was crying because of the nostalgia and Rock Lee was smiling dejectedly and slowly accepted that he had lost Sakura's love to the Uchiha survivor.

.
The dark-haired Uchiha survivor broke their intimate moment and whispered quietly on the viridian-eyed girl's ear,
"Sakura…thank you."
His voice was rough in a good way, but at the same time if she could taste his voice it would be velvety sweet and dark.
Sakura's blush deepened and the Uchiha continued their interrupted intimate moment, he no longer cares if that idiot brought up the rest of their former classmates on the rooftop, actually Sasuke had already sensed their chakra signatures from the moment he kissed her, but he just shrugged off because he doesn't want to ruin their perfect evening.

The end.
PS. I maybe will creating an epilogue, but still not 100% sure. I wrote this chapter just before 699+700 was released so I was having a second thought if I should write a time-skip and make it in line with the canon manga ending. Stay tuned!
