people fail to understand that regarding sasusaku, the problem wasn't a lack of moments shared, they had plenty as team 7, but none of them were romantic from sasuke's pov. nothing about the way he treated sakura stood out, or was unique to his relationship with her, nothing. it's different with naruto because we got a lot of things building up external to their bond, they connect in many ways that go beyond their brief relationship in team 7, so it's a more believable relationship (as a friendship, brotherhood, romance, whatever you want to interpret it as). but sasusaku felt one sided, in the way sakura felt SO MUCH and sasuke felt too little. he never, and not even to this day, gives her the same energy back. he seems to like her and respect her, but romantic love was just never there for me. so yes, they had more moments together than any other canon pairings, but those moments amount to nothing in my view because sakura never had any effect on sasuke.

imma stop you there too btw, it’s a good idea to go reread it now and take note of any actual moment that goes on cuz i promise you it’s actually not as much as everyone likes to add. and to make matters worse, it’s not romantic on sasuke’s end as you said. it’s not romantic in general
