Really, this was just for fun. I'm in love with Grumpy/Sunshine Couple stories. I tried my best to carry it through out the story, but I'm pretty sure I lost it. It might not even be there at all. This was my lame, pathetic attempt at something cute. Beware for some major amounts of OOCness. Please enjoy, though! Don't forget to leave me your thoughts! I enjoy reading them!


Contrary to popular belief, Sasuke loved it when Naruto showered her with affection. She loved how his hugs engulfed her entire being (when standing, the top of her head only reached his chin – she loved and hated it). She loved how his lips were always so warm against her own and how their hands fit together just right. But most of all she loved how raw and genuine his love for her was. He was her favorite person in the whole world, but she would never tell him that (she was pretty sure he knew anyways). Despite how much he loved her, she was still embarrassed whenever he was affectionate. Which is why she chose to lock herself in his bathroom.

Sasuke Uchiha, daughter of one of the most powerful families in Konoha, had been disowned and kicked out of the family home when she told her parents of her year long relationship with the humble preschool teacher, Naruto Uzumaki. She packed her bags and left without a look back and no place to go. Even though it was nearing midnight, Konoha was still brightly lit. She wandered the streets looking for a cheap place to stay, desperately hoping she wouldn't run into someone she knew. Her hopes were instantly shattered when she saw Naruto exit a bar with a group of his friends. He wasn't drunk (she knew he didn't touch alcohol, but he never turned down a chance to hang out with his friends) and sent his friends off with a wave. He turned away from them and his eyes lit up when they found her. Sasuke panicked and stood frozen in her spot.

"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted as his giant and lean body rushed towards her.

The dark haired female tried her hardest to hide the suitcase behind her petite body and she swiftly kicked the duffle bag that fell from her shoulder behind her as well. "H-hey, Naruto," She silently cursed herself for blushing at the smile on his tanned face.

"What's with the suitcases?" he inquired as he grabbed her hands and brought them to his lips for a kiss.

Now, she wouldn't exactly call herself honest, but Sasuke could never lie to Naruto. She tried once and the guilt beat her up so much she cracked ten minutes later (he made her a fucking softie). She stayed silent and watched his eyebrows furrow in concern. " I was kicked out."

The moment the words left her lips, Naruto had her belongings in his hands and was beckoning her along. She followed without a word. He hadn't said anything until they were in the elevator of his apartment building. "I can figure out why you were kicked out, but I'm not gonna ask you to break up with me. If you wanted to, you wouldn't let yourself get kicked out, so move in with me, yeah?"

Naruto wasn't looking at her and his cheeks were flushed, but she could feel the anxious energy he was radiating. Sasuke stuffed herself further into the corner of the elevator. Naruto was a lot smarter than most people gave him credit for and he just had this knack for understanding other people, something she didn't have. She couldn't say anything, so she just nodded and prayed that he saw the movement in the reflective surface of the metal because she really could not answer.

The elevator dinged and Naruto stepped out first. The hallway was dimly lit, the gray walls tinged orange with the soft glow of the light. Sasuke felt herself being tugged inside the surprisingly spacious apartment. She watched Naruto set her bags down by the couch before shuffling back to her. His long arms wrapped around her thin frame; she couldn't help the soft sigh that escaped her lips. She pressed her lips against the cotton of his shirt, a small, tired kiss of gratitude.

"We'll have to share a bed," he spoke into her hair. "Unless you don't want to. I can take the couch."

Sasuke shook her head. "It's fine. Let's share. I just want a shower so I can go to sleep." Most of her night had been spent walking the city. Sasuke was tired and filthy. Naruto made a noise of agreement and led her to the bathroom in his room. When Naruto made to leave to go grab her clothes, she wrapped a hand around his wrist. "Can I wear one of your shirts?" Her eyes were focused on the floor and her face felt as if she just stuck it into a bonfire, but she wanted comfort tonight and goddamn it, Naruto was her biggest comfort.

Naruto's laugh and filled her ears and it only fueled her blush. She was handed a huge white t-shirt before she scurried off to take a shower. She had none of her shampoos so she had to use his and a massive part of her loved it. But, this is why she chose to lock herself in the bathroom. It was now well past midnight and she had been in the bathroom for over an hour. Her long, black hair was now damp instead of wet and she couldn't tell if her cheeks were flushed from the heat of the long gone water or embarrassment. She stared at her body in the mirror, secretly pleased that she got to wear one of his shirts, but embarrassed because she only had her bra and panties on underneath. A knock on the door startled her away from the mirror.

"Are you okay?" Naruto asked through the barrier.

"Y-yeah!" She choked on air.

"Are you gonna come out?"

"No."

"Why?"

"..."

"Sasuke?"

"I'm...I'm coming out!" She ground out. She was not going to admit that she was embarrassed. A shaky hand clutched the door knob before she reluctantly pulled the door open. Naruto stood right in front of the door and Sasuke almost ran into him. He brought a hand up to his face to scratch at his cheek, so she took this chance to stride over the the bed with as much (fake) confidence she could muster. She pulled back the duvet and plopped herself down. "Are you coming?"

From her place on the bed, she nervously watched Naruto walk to the other side before he gently climbed in beside her. The bed wasn't small, far from it actually, so he left quite a gap. Neither said a word. Neither laid down. The only light came from a small lamp on the night stand. Sasuke stared at her boyfriend and suddenly she was hit with an onslaught of emotion. Happiness: he always respected her and made her laugh. Gratitude: no matter how crabby she got he always stuck around and put up with her shit. Love: he was the one person she could be one hundred percent herself with and he was her comfort, her home.

Sasuke Uchiha was in love with the idiotic fool, Naruto Uzumaki, and she couldn't be any happier. He was propped up against the headboard with his bottom lip caught between his teeth. Throwing all caution to the wind, Sasuke crawled over to him and slung a leg over his waist and cupped his face in her hands. He seemed startled at the bravado, but still brought his hands up to rest on her wrists.

"Naruto Uzumaki," She said after a moment of just staring. " I really, really, love you."

The blond man's face split with a smile and he replied with pulling her close. It took Sasuke a second to realize that he was kissing her before she returned the action with twice the fervor. Using her hands to bring him even closer, Sasuke swiped her tongue along his lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck and threaded her fingers through his hair. Naruto parted his lips in response and greedily met her tongue with his own. His hands that now rested on Sasuke's hips moved to her back. When air became a necessity, he pulled away and rested his forehead against her's. Both were panting, but they each wore a smile.

Sasuke felt Naruto push back her hair more than she saw because she was captivated by his eyes. Overwhelmed with love, she brought him in for a tight embrace and even giggled a little when he pressed small kisses on her neck. Naruto moved out of the embrace and turned the lamp off while tucking her against his side. When her eyes adjusted to the darkness, Sasuke laced her hand with Naruto's as he pulled her into a comfortable sleeping position.

"And I really, really, love you, too, Sasuke Uchiha."
