Five-minute flashfic. :]b [SasuSaku]

I've had the first line of this written down for about two months. The rest suddenly followed just now. :]

"...If you had to choose. Would it be them or me."
He wasn’t sure what sort of answer he expected, but then again, he wouldn’t’ve bothered asking in the first place if he’d known what she’d say or how she’d react. Perhaps he’d earn himself a flicker of surprise, perhaps a tensing of her shoulders and a tightening of the skin around her eyes, a sideways look of skepticism and considerate calculation.
The open smile he actually receives takes him utterly unaware, and he’s the one looking at her with that flicker of surprise, but that smile doesn’t falter as her hand finds his and she twines their fingers together.
She doesn’t answer in words, at least not any that are spoken aloud, but they shine from her eyes and sparkle in her smile, fresh and clear as a spring day:
You, of course.

Sasuke/Sakura - And if you love, well, let that be enough.
