Hello my dears, I know I should be working on "A touch of imagination" and I sort of am. Really! But I swear I have a severe case of writing ADHD and I just can't focus on a single story/idea. This is basically how "Awkward" was born.
Among the things that you should know about this:
For now it's only "Nightmare" but in time I might add others. Depends on my mood.
They don't necessarily make sense. They're more like drabbles.
They won't follow the same storyline. Some of them might stretch in more chapters but nothing more than that.
They'll consist of awkward/embarrassing/weird meetings between the two. Hence the name.
Anyway, enjoy your reading, I had a lot of un writing this. Feel free to review/favourite/PM and what not. I'm always glad to read your words!
Summary: Take one Itachi add fleas, a sleepy confused Sakura in Sasuke's bed and you get a perfect awkward situation. Non-Massacre.
`Nightmare`
Itachi took a deep, long breath wondering if it was possible to have been cursed. He had just returned from a two weeks long mission feeling exhausted and all he wanted was to crush on his comfy bed and sleep into oblivion. However he wasn't so lucky, he realized after an hour of constant tossing and turning unable to fall asleep.
He growled, his frustration growing bigger and bigger with every passing second. He got up from his bed, activated his sharingan and forcefully pulled the bed sheets from the mattress. With his ocular powers activated it was easy for Itachi to discover the source of his discomfort.
Fleas.
His room was infested with the tiny, annoying, blood-sucking parasites. He scoffed and stormed out of the room. He had a feeling that Sasuke and the Uzumaki brat had something to do with this. He pushed open the door to his brother's room. As much as he would've loved to release his pent up anger on the two, he was in dire need of rest.
He scanned the room with his sharingan making sure that no more surprises awaited him there and climbed onto the bed. His brother was away on a mission with Hatake and won't be back for another day. Itachi sighed in relief as his tired muscles relaxed bit by bit. Soon enough he succumbed to the never-ending darkness.
It was way past midnight when he jerked awake. He snapped his eyes open, his senses on high alert and turned his attention towards the window. He narrowed his eyes contemplating whether to activate his kekkei genkai or not, his left hand reaching below his pillow for his kunai. He cursed under his breath when his hand didn't make contact with the familiar weapon. How could Sasuke sleep without one?
He sighed and, as inconspicuous as he could, removed the covers from his body. In the dim light of the night he could easily distinguish the contours of a human trying to crawl through the window. Was it a fangirl? He wondered watching in irritation as the woman cursed loudly when her legs entangled in one on Sasuke's many shirts thrown carelessly on the floor.
He blinked in surprise. He recognized that voice! It was no other than Haruno Sakura, his brother's friend and teammate. What was she doing here so late at night?
Just then she turned around giving Itachi a good view of her appearance. Her soft, pink hair was pulled into a messy bun on top of her head; usually vivid green eyes were now clouded and unfocused as she fought to keep them open. She rubbed her eyes tiredly and yawned.
"Sasuke-kun…"she muttered as she clutched the pillow she brought closer to her chest. Itachi gulped unsure of what he should do. He activated his sharingan and allowed his gaze to roam over her figure. Was she sleep-walking? Should he throw her out? But she was only wearing her underwear!
The man groaned. If his mother ever found out that he threw cute, sleepy, naked Sakura out in the night, when all kind of perverts and freaks wandered around, there would be Hell to pay. He knew it.
"…I had a nightmare…" She continued as she came closer to the bed and swiftly replaced one of the pillows with her own.
"Can I sleep with you?"She asked in a cute manner not even waiting for an answer before she climbed on the bed, her bare legs brushing against his as she tried to warm them. The Uchiha leaned on his hand and looked at the petite woman lying fast asleep by his side. He shook his head and threw the covers over her trembling body. He was tired and didn't have anywhere else to go for the night. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to his chest, enjoying the way she fit perfectly against him. He heard her sigh in delight and chuckled. He couldn't wait until morning.
A soft moan escaped her lips as she turned in her sleep, her face burring in Sasuke's chest. She inhaled the strong fragrance of amber and wood. She didn't know Sasuke smelled so good! During the years it become common for the young kunoichi to crash at her teammates' places for the night when she had nightmares or felt lonely, or bored. So it didn't faze her anymore when she'd open her eyes and not be in her room.
However this time it felt a little different than before. Call it a hunch or maybe feminine intuition but whatever it was it compelled Sakura to reluctantly peel herself from the strong, muscular chest. She begrudgingly opened her eyes and groaned at the rays of light shining brightly through the wide open curtains. She glanced at Sasuke's face and froze, eyes wide open in mortification.
"Itachi…" She whispered as she stared at the sleeping face of Sasuke's older brother. How could she be so foolish and not recognize him? She was supposed to be a kunoichi! She now remembered when Sasuke told her he'd be out on a mission with Kakashi for a few days. He wasn't due to return until tomorrow. As is sensing her distress the man next to her lazily opened his dark grey eyes and stared at her amused, the corner of his mouth tilting into a smirk.
"Good morning lovely Sakura." He purred her name as if it was a secret lover's one and leaned in so that his face was only a few inches away from hers. She didn't get a chance to answer or move before the door was pushed wide open by a surprised-turned into a gleeful Mikoto. Sakura face-palmed.
"Well this is awkward…"
I'm sorry for any mistakes you may find, I suck at proofreading my work. Well at least the spell checker says everything is cool. So yeah…might reread it later and correct some of the mistakes. Then again I might not…
Please review and tell me what you think! Should I continue writing more Awkward drabbles?
