[ That hadn't been at all what she'd meant by it, and she can't help but wonder if he's trying to distract from the situation. It does distract her though, it feels like a little too much of a personal dig and it makes her feel a bit irritated. ]
[ That actually catches him off guard for a moment, not having expected her to take it as a comment on her usual character rather than a jab at her current pushiness.
He sees where it could be read that way though and rather than comfort her, he leans in to it to give himself time. ]
[ Sakura knows that she has been pushy with him over the years. She's often felt insecure in his response to that. Much of her pushiness came from a desire to show him that he was loved and cared for, but it often came across wrong. Maybe even a bit, obsessive. Not as much as Naruto, but pushy all the same. It stings to feel like he's calling her out on it, in a negative way. Even if he isn't, she feels insecure about it. ]
Look, if my love is pushy, I'll back off, but right now, I need to see your skin. This is about the corruption, not trying to get you into bed.
[ Sasuke lets out what's almost a growl like sound when she tugs at him, but he catches himself. He doesn't like what he's doing, the way he's treating her... It's too much like the him of Before that he's trying so hard to get away from.
So while he's still tense, he stops fighting, letting her tug his shirt away. ]

[ She reaches for his shirt. ]
Stop being so stubborn, I'm trying to help you.

What does taking my shirt off help! You're obviously convinced of what's there already.

I need to see how bad it is.
