Cold, but passionate.. It was all she could think of to describe it. The chilling nervousness that never faltered every time he was there, his blank onyx eyes boring into her very being.

"So, have you decided yet?" His baritone voice left a clean cut through the still air, and she let out a hesitant breath, noting that his hands had wandered higher, landing on her waist, and she could feel them slowly inch farther up her figure.

"I-I have." She bit her lip, trying to keep her already wavering calm from falling apart any further. "I've decided to go with you. Sasuke-" She was cut short, as she gasped when he set his head against the crook of her neck.

"Why so alert?" he teased."It's just me, you know."She inhaled, and noticed him exhale right when she did. Suddenly, she felt herself being lifted up, and she clung to Sasuke's neck in fear of falling. Huffing when she heard him chuckle, she settled comfortably into that certain position, burying her face into his chest.

"That's exactly why!" She exclaimed, her voice slightly muffled by his clothing. She looked up, and peering into his eyes, she felt herself relax. She didn't know what it was about that cold compassion. She just knew that she loved him, and that he loved her, and that starting a few moments ago, they would be together, away from all the prejudices she was once afraid of. She yawned, and after a long but gentle kiss, she fell asleep.

Sasuke looked up, and then down at her, smiling pleasantly.

Sleep, for we are near the end of the difficult road.
