Author's Notes: A light-hearted, crack-ish one-shot featuring a more traditional take on Karin’s tsundere qualities, plus a more self-aware Sasuke who has already settled his issues. So yup, post-series haha431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L8bIVonCq
Summary: [Post-series] It’s his birthday, and Sasuke has decided that he has had enough.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitMKPgWEdD

It happens once everyone has left.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ513G6ertOV
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUbvIC6ngz
“I—I brought you something,” Karin states, looking the other way, “for your birthday.”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0Ss65Ympw
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEYQMyxjLn
His eyes clung to the small bottle for a moment, mind whirling with questions.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxJc5JyCoK
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65Bmk5qOck
“You brought me perfume?” he inquires, stunned, gaze flickering to her face.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLVaFboFeM
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eHa9tlmSX
Karin pulls at the neck of her shirt, her voice startlingly hoarse.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9vpFWPrBm
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjswf3sGWI
“More like made it, actually, but—” she goes a little red at the ears and before he can even blink Karin is back to being the brash and forward girl he knows so well. “Pft, not that it matters! Will you take it or not? Just tell me already so I can leave! I have things to do, you know?!”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZGAedjY74
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ0JTRglTt
But Sasuke barely listens to a word she says, too busy replaying Suigetsu’s words.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWJlCWkl4C
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXft4TW84lq
Karin’s crazy about you, man. Why do you think she put up with all the shit you put her through? She would have blasted my balls off to next Sunday if it had been me in your shoes!431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTb2yPTVho
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXETDYw6ha
Such had been Suigetsu being the crude but eloquent way of letting Sasuke know that Karin loved him—or had loved him, once. Sasuke had refused to believe it, at first; but since then, he has had more than enough time to put two and two together, and he has to acknowledge that everything did add up.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsfwrFi0bW
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY6ggEzhkC
Karin, however, has always adamantly denied it; or at least never confirmed it.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YTcHRXamd
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsgu9ClWEH
Until today, that is, the Uchiha decides, hardening his expression.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkMkdWASY6
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31bgIoOriV
Sasuke is not willing to let the matter go this time.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMmIVNzhGz

“When girls give handmade gifts to a guy, it usually means something.”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUmLffUvga

Obviously not expecting his words, all Karin can do is part her lips and splutter a “W-what—?”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIPkqjiRtg
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwAHVHmyjq
But Sasuke is bracing himself and cutting her off before she can even attempt to gather her composure. “Does it mean something, now?”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWRhCnnT6x
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUuRF0OWZH
“W—wh… who cares about that, Sasuke?! Will, you just take the damn thing already—!”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ocWHnkTgS
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBcUG6EziP
“Does it, Karin?”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa92nQiIcqg
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1blE9rz27i
The answer is whispered so softly that he almost misses it.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ITiT5NKEe
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZohqZXjra
“…Yes.”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6A6ffilWt
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPqnCx8dEc
Sasuke’s eyes widen. After a breath, Karin’s do, too, and she hurries to push her glasses further up her nose and clear her throat. “I—I mean, maybe. How am I supposed t—?!”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDXwRFgXmr
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerLZnH0G1H
Natural as breathing, Sasuke shuts her up with a kiss.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaw2wZ9GJK
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0iVSCyvtU
It’s his first, and this seems to be something he won’t be a natural at—it’s sloppy, tense, and tentative; but despite the shortcomings, it feels right. Like this is what he was supposed to be doing, and Sasuke relishes that feeling the most.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklOshf8jZR
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctL4HI8IcD
When they part, Sasuke is greeted with the sight of Karin’s half-lidded eyes and dazed gaze, her cheeks colored two shades lighter than her hair—and as he feels the skin of her neck turn to gooseflesh under his fingertips, he finds himself falling for her all over again.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg79jqBvePx
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnciZtNB1oU
“So,” and though he tries to sound casual—as if his heart wasn’t beating just as hard as hers was—it’s too easy to hear the smile that slips into his face. He figures he must look ridiculous, but he finds that he doesn’t quite care. “Is it a yes or a maybe, Karin?”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IcNnLrAxK
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUPaSbSJZP
“Oh, just shut up, Sasuke,” the redhead demands airily, and in one swift movement she has taken her glasses off and has thrown her arms around his neck, a roguish grin curving her lips, “and kiss me again.”431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFdhw3Rp5d

The idea for this was born while reading a fantastic LinZin piece by Oh Dee, which inspired the dialogues about hand-made gifts “usually meaning something” (which Sasuke knows better than anyone thanks to the myriad of fangirls he used to have, ofc)~ and of course, I couldn’t resist playing up Karin’s tsundere-ness haha431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0rq1jDrQk
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s08FyTb2P
So yes, happy birthday Sasuke~! ♥
