In One's Arms

Living on the top floor was such a pain in the ass at times like this. Sakura thinks while dragging her feet up the last set of stairs to her apartment. She cursed under her breath at the out of service sign on the elevator, it just had to happen tonight of all times when she had to work a double shift. She dug into her pocket pulling out her keys and selected one at random. The small sound of a click was like music to her ears as she push open the door into her apartment.

Tired emerald eyes glances around the dark room and zone in on the only dimly lit part of the place. The television was turn on and the light that shines off of it lit the living room in a dull light. Her shoulders slump slightly as she recognized a mop of so-called silver-white hair that glowed from the shining light.

With a flick of her finger the connected kitchen became completely lit up. The occupant on the couch took that moment to lift his hand above his head and lazily wave a greeting, "Welcome home."

"You know, watching t.v. in the dark can ruin you eye sight, right?" Sakura replies slipping out of her work shoes. A strong familiar aroma catches her attention towards the occupied living room.

"Hope you don't mind pizza tonight." Kakashi says, seemly ignoring the pinkette's warning. Sakura walks around the couch and opens the warm box laying on the coffee table. She could feel her stomach ache with hunger as she grabs a slice of the supreme pizza before slumping down onto the couch next to him.

She hums in appreciation as she bites into the still hot piece; forgetting just how hungry she was, "Just what I needed." She answers between another bite.

Kakashi smiles as he watches the pinkette finish off her first slice within a minute. He leans forward and grabs another slice and passes it to the waiting woman beside him before grabbing himself another. They ate in silence watching the movie that Kakashi found on one of the few stations they had. He leans back into the side of the couch and brought his feet up onto the coffee table—away from the pizza. Sakura let out a blissful sigh as she too finished off her second slice and leans against Kakashi, curling her legs out to her side. Her cheek finding a spot on his chest as his arm wraps around her shoulders, instantly relaxing her.

"Tough day?" Kakashi's smooth voice vibrates throughout his chest, sending Sakura to sink further into his body. "You have no idea," She mumbles into his chest.

Curled into each other's warmth the only sound coming from the television, Sakura found herself trying to concentrate on it, but lost her focus as her eyelids grew heavier with each passing minute. The long day had taken a toll on her mind and body. And with the rhythmic movements of Kakashi tracing random patterns on her bare upper arm, wasn't helping much either.

Her eyes close for a split second before snapping back open from the sudden movement of Kakashi's free arm. She repositions herself, bringing her hand to lay under her cheek and tucking the other one beneath her. Each breath Kakashi takes, she rises with him. Making her eyes slowly descend and finally she allowed herself to be wrapped up into the welcoming darkness.

Soft even breaths signaled that the pinkette lying on top of him was finally out cold. She lasted longer than he expected. Gently, callous finger tips brushes short pink bangs out of the slumbering girl's face only for them to fall right back to where they were. Kakashi presses his nose against her soft bubble gum hair, breathing in her scent. Catching only the small trace of her fruity scented shampoo under the overpowering smell of the hospital that stuck on her.

A quick glance at the glowing television screen showed that the movie, that he was half-ass watching before his little pinkette joined him, was coming close to an end. He could feel his arm that was wrapped around her shoulders beginning to go numb. Deciding that the movie was close enough to the end he tries waking her. "You want to go to bed?" His warm breath fans against her hairline, slightly stirring the petite woman from her sleep. A faint nod and a mumble that even he couldn't make out was her answer. In which, her breathing evened out once again.

Kakashi chuckled as Sakura fell right back to sleep. He debated if he should just slip out from under her and leave her on the couch for the night, but thought better of it. She would be pissed in the coming morning for being left on the couch, and really he didn't quite want to enjoy the bed by himself. Taking the best route to rousing the slumbering form, he pressed a kiss to the crown of her head and shook her shoulders gently. His voice deep as he breathed out her name waking her once again.

She inhales deeply and repositions her head on her hand, "What did I miss?"

Kakashi smiles as he rub at his eyes tiredly, "Nothing much, it turned out to be a happy ending." Not that he himself was really paying that much attention, but the answer seemed to satisfy Sakura as she strain her eyes open, watching the scrolling ending credits.

"Let's go to bed, shall we?" Kakashi's voice was just above a whisper feeling the smaller body moving against him.

A loud yawn escaped Sakura as she uncurled her legs from her side and sat up to stretch out the kinks from her tired limbs. She grabs the half empty box of left over pizza as Kakashi too stands up after her, shutting off the television in the progress.

A gentle touch on his chest catches his attention as Sakura stands up on her tippy toes and press a soft kiss at the side of his mouth. He blinks in surprise as her beautiful green eyes look up at him with a tired smile that grace her lips, "Sorry for falling asleep on you, again."

Kakashi didn't know why she thought she had to apologize to him. He treasured moments like these, where they would sit down together wrapped in each others body heat. He could go as far as saying it's one of his favorite pass times; holding her and inhaling her intoxicating scent. "Don't be." He heard his voice says as he watch her small form walk down the hall in front of him to their bedroom before he himself followed suit.

Just being close to her was all he could ever ask for. She was his one and only Cherry Blossom.
