Summary
ONE SHOT – Love… it's a strange sounding thing.
Like all of my work this is just something that happened to float through the empty void inside my head. Like it or hate it please R and R as honest opinions are always welcomed, as are random acts of worship.

You and me together,

The Sound of Love
He's not quite sure why it is, but he knows that he just loves the sounds that she makes. Though on some level he was sure it was because it was her making the noises.
He never expected he would've. First be his experience came for covertly passed on dirty books and even dirtier jokes from Naruto or Sasuke, not Shikamaru who even at a young age had already decided the opposite sex were too troublesome. Then there were the other girls. The sweet merchants' daughters who whimpered and moaned. The brassy tea girls with their loud groaning and screaming. It was just noise that meant nothing. So he guessed, incorrectly, that any noise from her throat would be just that same and mean just as little.
This… this is better. He supposes it's not all that, that it wouldn't be special to anyone but him. And it wouldn't mean anything to anyone, because it's nothing extraordinary to them. How could he tell them about the soft cooing sound she made against his neck, throat, shoulder, any area of bare skin she can reach. A breathless whimper when he spreads her legs wider on his bed. A possessive, rumbling growl when she throws her arms around his neck and drags him back to her, because he is hers and he should know it. And the sound of her screaming his name when he pushes her to the edge and beyond….
But there's no way to explain to everyone else that she is a mess of contradictions and wrong turns and dead ends. How could he ever explain that she always looks the most defenceless when he's touching her, holding her, loving her. With he's knotting fingers in her pale gold hair and being the reason for all of those beautiful siren sounds.
And you know what? Sometimes it makes him want to scream because why can't she be that vulnerable all the time. Why can't she be soft at other times, not just when he's making love to her? Why can't she show some emotion when it's not just the two of them? Any emotion, anything besides that cool mocking disdain for which she is so infamous?
But he never says any of this to her, partly because he doesn't want the fight, and those are fighting words, but to her most words are fighting words. But also he doesn't say anything because he knows it's unfair to want her to change how she is or who she is.
She is a kunoichi. So in public she'll be all hard edges and sharp tongue, acid words that can cut deeper than any blade. But in privet she will be soft and loving, and the sounds that fall from her lips will feed his heart.
Please R and R I'd love to know what you thought.
Big love and inspiration
