Hey, this is one of my first fan fics, so please review and I hope you enjoy!

Sakura x Naruto

She knew that Sasuke wasn't coming back. It wasn't just a recent realisation, but over the past few months, Naruto had been the one who has comforted her, the one who has held her close when she was in despair. Sakura was starting to notice how close she was actually getting with the blonde haired boy, and to be honest it didn't bother her.
Right now she was sat with her face in her hands, while he had one of his strong arms wrapped around the back of her shoulder,
"I...don't even know why I am crying." She sobbed softly
"Please don't cry Sakura-Chan, I hate seeing you like this." He sighed, voice trailing off.
She pulled her hands away from her face and raised her head so that her eyes were level with his
"I really appreciate everything you have done for me, Naruto." She gave him a sullen smile
"Don't mention it, Sakura-Chan." He smiled back at her.

She rose abruptly to her feet and he walked her, like always, to the door
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" he rubbed the back of his neck nervously
"Of course." She gave him a slight hug before been caught in his gaze.
They stayed like this for a few more seconds before Sakura finally cleared her throat and stepped over the threshold, waiting for him to join her.
Naruto always walked her home.

They walked side by side quietly, taking in the moonlight together. Sakura enjoyed it when it was just her and Naruto, taking these random walks. As friends. When they finally reached her front door Naruto looked away nervously. His sapphire blue eyes were glowing with contrast against the night sky, and his blonde hair was slightly more tussled than usual
"Uh, bye Sakura-Chan." He said quietly
"Bye Naruto," she cleared her throat again, "like I said, I really appreciate all that you have been doing for me." She blushed.
As he leaned in to kiss her on the cheek she turned her head slightly, just enough for his lips to interact with her lips. Shock spread across his face and his body became rigid.

His lips were soft yet slightly dry against her own. She puckered her own lips against his, causing them to open.
Suddenly she pulled away,
"Err, bye!" she hurried into her house, leaving him stood there, speechless.

Throughout the next day, the two shinobi avoided each other. Once their mission was over all four of them, Kakashi, Sai, Naruto and Sakura, headed back towards Konoha.
"You both seam rather quiet." Sai commented, staring Naruto in the eyes
"Yeah, well. You know." Naruto mumbled
"I didn't really notice..." Sakura's voice trailed off into the distance.
Sai made a confused face before returning his attention back towards the forest.

Once back in Konoha, Kakashi went to report back to Tsunade, Sai sauntered of towards the library, leaving Sakura with Naruto.
"About last night-."
"No! It was completely my fault." Sakura shook her hands quickly in front of her face, trying to hide her blushing cheeks
"I was worried you would never talk to me again." He rubbed the back of his neck.
"Why would I do that? Besides, it wasn't that bad...was it?" she glanced away from him, avoiding his curious eyes
"No, it was great! Just wanted to make sure that nothing was awkward or anything..." his voice trailed away
"Hey, want to go get some ramen?" she raised an eyebrow
"Hell yeah!"
"You're treating!" she called from ahead of him.

Naruto pushed the last of his third bowl to the side before putting a few coins onto the counter and joining Sakura outside the shop.
"Would you mind if we went to yours for a while?" she looked up at him with large green eyes
This was a common question that she asked often, so Naruto wasn't really surprised by her outburst.
"Yeah sure." Naruto smiled as they headed towards his apartment.

She was already sat on his small couch when entered the small lounge area. He sat next to her and looked intently into her face,

"So, what do you want to-?"

His sentence and thoughts were interrupted by her lips crushing down on his, immediately opening up for him to slip his tongue inside. He pulled away abruptly,

"Sakura-Chan, are you sure you really want this?" there was obvious confusion and need circling around his eyes as he waited for her reply,
"I am Naruto, I really am." Her lips curved into a radiant smile.
Their lips joined once more and he let out a little moan as her hands explored his tousled hair. He rested her back against the arm of the sofa, as he moved his lips from hers towards her neck and began nipping and sucking lightly. She hummed under her breath, trying hard not to let any unattractive moans escape. His hands wandered under her shirt and fondle carefully with one of her small breasts. She stretched her legs so that they were now wrapped around his waist, and she could feel his trousers getting tighter with each second. Another moan let out from her lips as he began kneading her breasts. She brought her knee up to his crotch and began nudging it slightly causing him to moan louder. She grabbed the back of his head and pushed his mouth down to her right nipple. He grasped it with his mouth and a shiver ran through her body.

Suddenly a knock at the door made the pair pause in their tracks.

"Hello?" the voice came from the other side of the door.
