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 haha543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZLaujzQrZ
Summary: [Post-series] It’s his birthday, and Sasuke has decided that he has had enough.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYezGhLuaAZ

It happens once everyone has left.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ4d8h5hHl

“I—I brought you something,” Karin states, looking the other way, “for your birthday.”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUPLkPGLE4
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKBHHv7sxM
His eyes clung to the small bottle for a moment, mind whirling with questions.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0c29SxhHe
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PSR9shpMv
“You brought me perfume?” he inquires, stunned, gaze flickering to her face.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWE5Rtr67o
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsATTuZUaKe
Karin pulls at the neck of her shirt, her voice startlingly hoarse.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWcypFBJfN
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeZ9BXtrZo
“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?!”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmSP32Xd1G
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspQ90n64HO
But Sasuke barely listens to a word she says, too busy replaying Suigetsu’s words.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzcnNooSjG
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDLOAnAn3z
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!543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0LS3WF8d8
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmLTsXNU4d
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwwxIK5pxO
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKnuHn9Gqp
Karin, however, has always adamantly denied it; or at least never confirmed it.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9W5xilxZW
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgIp6iuhZk
Until today, that is, the Uchiha decides, hardening his expression.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet64kc1aG4
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPIZPlEixI
Sasuke is not willing to let the matter go this time.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBVj9M2E52

“When girls give handmade gifts to a guy, it usually means something.”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumHpw1IzYt

Obviously not expecting his words, all Karin can do is part her lips and splutter a “W-what—?”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBdMvuJLId
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC7n1rkxty
But Sasuke is bracing himself and cutting her off before she can even attempt to gather her composure. “Does it mean something, now?”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw8i1FHDJQ
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6FDa3YdxY
“W—wh… who cares about that, Sasuke?! Will, you just take the damn thing already—!”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUD2t2ThUI
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0RING04QD
“Does it, Karin?”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILgkbLb6PA
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOQF1tGuh3
The answer is whispered so softly that he almost misses it.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUD4MhAOnn
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p1QqMozYV
“…Yes.”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQBJrlkfJF
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPywnxobjt
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—?!”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdXAuN3nH6
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEulBL3v23h
Natural as breathing, Sasuke shuts her up with a kiss.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06EMMFukhW
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY9fab7SXc
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxKsKd9cI6
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2YuKuRWOh
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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVJK5sYIs1
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J7CLhRkmb
“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?”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6iwPW9b6i
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMUypZMmGO
“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.”543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASxdPYeuAb

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 haha543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5mtZ1n2b0
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZwCKGCCnH
So yes, happy birthday Sasuke~! ♥
