DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto or any of its characters. Title on movie mentioned in story also not mine.
A.N. Thank you, guys, for the reviews. You all made me happy. Hope you'd all like this as well. Sorry for the late update; I've been very lazy and I've no other excuse. Mwahugz.
Of course, a belated merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone!!!
Despite the nervousness that kept bubbling in his gut, Sasuke felt like grinning as he observed Hinata –his 'girlfriend', bite her lower lip, a deep blush making its way up her cheeks. He wanted to tell her 'I told you so' but he kept silent and contented himself watching her cute bafflement. But he wasn't entirely an insane sadist. She was simply being herself, cute, innocent and… so damn charming. When she raised her eyes to look at him and met with his gaze, she buried her face against the book to conceal her embarrassment. This time, he couldn't help but to snicker. "Is it that bad?"
"Uh… w-well…"
Now she was nervous? The corner of his lips lifted in amusement. "I thought you didn't stutter anymore…"
"I d-don't…!" she replied, setting the book down on the table. Her hand was shamefully plastered on the book's cover. She sighed and settled back on the soft cushion of the chair. "What is taking our orders so long?"
Sasuke groaned. She obviously changed the subject. He reached out and retrieved the book from her hands and hid it under the table. "Relax. You that hungry?"
After looking left and right, she finally gazed at him and smiled. "That was weird, huh?"
The book, of course. Sasuke shrugged. "Well… we're not exactly children now, aren't we?"
Hinata's eyes widened in surprise at his response. "Sasuke!" she gasped, taking hold of his fists on the table. "What has Jiraiya done to you!"
"That sonova–" Sasuke was about to be angry and curse the sanin when he noticed that the sparkle on Hinata's eyes were of a different shimmer. Was she actually teasing him about that? He snorted. "Nice one, Hinata…" he sarcastically replied, but grinned afterwards. She was laughing softly now, her pale hand covering her pretty mouth. Seeing her like this was very… comforting, he thought to himself. So comforting that he wanted to stretch out his hands, the ones she touched earlier, to hold her face and embrace her. When she finally recovered from her laugh trip, he dared himself to do what he just thought. Capturing her hands in his, he marveled at the sudden surprise on her face. But she relaxed soon enough but he didn't let go of her. Squeezing her hands softly, he gazed deep into her eyes.
"Hinata…?"
"Yes?"
"You've become so brave," Sasuke said as he was consumed by her pearl gaze. "You are brave."
Hinata pressed his fingers in return. "Believe it or not, so are you."
"Is there a story at all?"
"Uh… well, yeah."
"Ah… So its not PWP."
"PWP?"
"Porn Without Plot. Well, the part you made me read fell in that category so I was just wondering if the whole book was about… sex."
Sasuke felt his breath hitch. He suddenly felt jittery at her mention of the 's' word.
"Um… Sasuke... can I ask you a question?"
He nodded.
"Have you ever done those kind of things…? Its okay if you don't answer… I just want to know. I just don't know anybody doing all those things –"
"No."
"Really?"
"I haven't been around anyone else since I came back, have I?"
"Oh…" she blushed. "Well do you want to?"
Sasuke's choked on his own breath. "W-what?"
Her eyes shined hurt. "You don't want me?"
His heart was definitely on a race. His eyes widened, his sharingan activated and it had somehow warped them into a dimension where they were surrounded by a warm color of red, the color of passion, candles and silky sheets all over the floor. Hinata, the muse was smiling up at him, blushing wildly, close to match the faint crimson around them. He was getting warm, fast and hard. "A-are… are you sure?"
"Sasuke-kun… You don't want me?" She bit her lip playfully.
"I… I do!"
There was no reply and their world paused – no breaths, no sounds, no blinking. Even his heart, Sasuke noticed, failed to beat all of a sudden and all he could see that moved were three pale slim fingers, slowly moving up to reach out on a zipper, pulling effortlessly down, exposing a blurred vision of flesh and blush. "Hinata," his voice wavered, unable to move and respond. He was unsteady and bedazzled –what to do? Before he could do anything and before he could see the fullness of the exposed chest, she had pressed herself against his body, pressing hard. "Ugh…"
"Did I hear you right?" her voice asked, each tone submerged with pure female seduction. "You want… me?"
Sasuke grunted then, the length on his trousers hurting like hell, wanting release. Words were unnecessary, he knew, and he replied with another deep groan, pulling her physically closer as possible to make her gasp. Instantly he buried his face against her long dark purple hair, filling his brain with her smell of addicting jasmine. He wanted this. He wanted her. How long…? He wanted this! He can't stop thinking about it. He wants this! He would always want this. Always. His thoughts came together with his hips, grinding hard against hers, moaning and echoing all around him.
Hinata let out a breathy laugh, squeezed out from her moans of pleasure and want, and pulled his face down for a rough kiss. She pulled from him and he growled though dazed and she licked his lips, making sure her breath was hot against his mouth, she whispered, "I want you, too…"
It felt awkward, it was expected. Sasuke mentally cursed himself as he felt himself blush furiously as she grabbed his arm and snaked her own around it. He swallowed hard as she pressed against him plainly, unconsciously trapping his bicep between the valley of her breasts. There was a jacket, yes, but he knew too well the way those felt…
"Sasuke-kun?" she asked, her crystal eyes peering up a little to look at him. Hinata gave him a knowing look and raised her brow. "You're at it again with that mood. Does the watchtower do that to you on purpose?"
Staring at her like that, she looking so innocent and nice, his arm between her bosom, made him feel fuzzy and warm he had to sigh. She trusted him. He shook his head and gave her a faint smile. The watchtower had to be the excuse for his behavior. For now. Not the damn book that was again hidden at his back, between skin and garter –he didn't put it back where he first found it, let whoever left it think that Shikamaru was the one who stole it. Surely he would tell her that his peculiar behavior resulted from severe boredom and not from getting pestered by pleasurable fantasies of her, his Hinata, kissing and well, um… doing it.
Sasuke had never been more perplexed since he woke up that morning from that strange, erotic dream after they had dinner last night. And now he was his own tug-of-war, unable to decide which side to let himself get into. Should he actually try something with her? It was obvious that they were very close. They addressed each other as 'girlfriend' and 'boyfriend' after all, right? But it did feel weird, because his other side, probably his conscience was telling him to be guilty and be ashamed of himself. What kind of boyfriend was he anyway? Truthfully, he was more like a best friend. His conscience was not letting him rest, kept on repeating that if it weren't for that stupid Icha Icha book, he wouldn't have even have entertained such naughty, dirty, steamy thoughts inside his head.
It felt crazy. He never thought about having sex before. Sure young men his age were probably active like hell but he really didn't care. Besides, when he was younger, his main mission was to defeat and exterminate his only brother and family –not procreate. Dying in the process was inevitable then and Sasuke was more than glad to agree to the possible conclusion. He had thought that he did not want to live as a lone heir and he did not want to revive the Uchiha Clan. What good was it, he had pondered, if evil was always to come out from their kind? He made peace with himself that he chose to die alone thus taking his family name with him. It was the ultimate plan.
But… that was before Hinata came into his life.
Sasuke blushed again at the thought. As much as he dwelled much in self-depression and pity, his body and soul chose to live through Hinata. Their time together, healing together, lead to so many bright alternatives in his life. He learned to get along with her and so he did with other people other than friends, learned to know someone purposely, learned to smile, learned to eat without getting too serious, learned to hope, learned to breathe without a death wish, and learned to get close –to touch and be touched. There were no definite remembrances as of how things had come this great and far, but the whole effect of it always brought melodious beats in his heart. He did not need to find a reason for the good change in him that had happened, all he had to do was look at Hinata and he knew he had always known it was her –the answer, the one, the heart.
Sasuke drew his arm from its comfort and wrapped it around her shoulders as they strolled. They were going to a store to buy some snacks to eat at his place. It was movie night at his place. Well, movie night was actually a cover-up name for 'inspection night.' Ever since he had been kept in Konoha by the council, they always sent a high-ranked ninja to take a survey at his place to make sure he was not up to trouble. To make sure, actually, that he was still in town. Sasuke's punishment was to never leave Konoha.
"Don't worry," she said softly, putting an arm around his back. "They won't stay for long." Seeing him nod, she smiled. "What's our movie theme for tonight?"
Horror movies instantly came to his mind. "Something scary?" He'd want that because he knew that Hinata could be easily frightened by shocking sound effects. She'd leap and clutch him tight like a teddy bear, pressing close, almost too close to kiss… You devil. He smacked himself mentally and gazed down at her. "Or something else…?"
Hinata smiled. "Maybe you want to rent some porn, huh?"
"What!" he exclaimed with a tease and tightened his arm on her shoulders, pulling her closer. He gave her the 'serious-Sasuke' look and smirked. "You want to see me getting hot?"
Hinata's eyes widened as she blushed and she punched him lightly on the chest. "Sorry, dear, your evil look doesn't work on me anymore." She giggled and gave him a light peck on the cheek.
Before he completely dazed out from the simple kiss, he swallowed hard and leaned down to give her a real kiss, full and sweet on the lips, not caring if they were in public, and thought, The hell with them, but before he could even breathe, the slick girl had slipped from his grasp and pulled his hand towards the store.
Darn.
Hinata unconsciously chewed on her lip as they walked to his house. She couldn't breathe properly, she noticed, because her chest felt tight and it feels like she had been holding her breath since forever. They were a pair of silence, their previous state before getting so close. But she couldn't talk, she was afraid to because she knew she was going to stutter. She wouldn't want to slip with her speech just because of that little display they did in public.
Not that they haven't held hands and stood that close with each other before but they never really did in public. And she kissed him! She thought she could just laugh it off and joke about it but she couldn't. All she could think afterwards was how nice it felt to get close with him, to relish the familiarity they had with each other. They were really getting somewhere. They kissed before –but even that had been an innocent mistake, she was just about to kiss him goodnight on the cheek as he was getting all jittery about their first date out and he obviously was too nervous because somewhere in that moment, her lips landed on his. It was sweet and memorable yet way too short.
She stole a glance at her side and saw that Sasuke's steps weren't as confident and stealthy as usual. She could hear the unspoken uneasiness his aura vibrated off. He was swinging the groceries with his other hand and his other fist was unable to decide if it should go inside his pocket or to just stay still. Poor Sasuke –he must have been as confused as she was. But honestly, Hinata really didn't know what to think and feel. But she remembered perfectly the way he had been occupied with shock when she kissed him that he actually thought of kissing her in return. Her heart beat faster. What to think, what to feel…
Stealing another gaze on his frame, she indulged the feeling of 'first love' where her heart pumped twice as fast and flamed with much feeling that it made her whole face flush. It felt light and yet heavy, fuzzy and soft inside the chest. Being friends with him was a sure bet, but falling in love with him was something unexpected. Yes, her mind and heart agreed, you love him. Was love really sweeter the second time around…?
Hinata knew she took a leap when she decided to become friends with him. Whoever thought the 'fragile, innocent heiress' could do more than stutter? Now she was girlfriend to the Uchiha! Was she to take another fall? Was he going to catch her… There might be consequences and she could never really predict what was going to happen in their relationship.
But, Hinata thought seriously, taking her place beside Sasuke and taking his arm to embrace again and rediscovered how it felt just right to be with him, I want to try.
"What horror flick are we going to rent, Sasuke?"
"Okay… it seems there had been no kinky sex here yet," Kakashi said flatly as he stepped out of Sasuke's room.
Sasuke glared at the jounin. He noticed that Hinata was flushed and wasn't looking at him again. Anger boiled in his veins. He felt a nerve ticking on his temple with impatience. Besides, wasn't he supposed to leave now? He hopped from the sofa where he sat and went to the door. Crossing his arms across his chest, he growled. "The inspection hour is over. You're free to get on your way, Hatake." However, the idiot teacher did not walk through the front door. Sasuke's eyes widened as he watched Kakashi, that bastard, walk casually to the couch and sat beside Hinata and worse –spread his arms wide across the back cushion. The nerve just popped. "Kuso, Hatake, get out of my house!"
"Relax, Uchiha," Kakashi said, not even looking at him. He turned to Hinata and gave her a wink. "What are we watching tonight, love?"
Hinata blushed and uneasily reached out for the cd case. "Shake, Rattle and Roll 28…"
Kakashi's eyes widened. "Kami-sama!" he exclaimed with surprise and turned to briefly gaze at a furious Sasuke who was still too stunned at the door. "She's not stuttering anymore!"
"Get… the… HELL OUTTA HERE, YOU SON OF A-"
"What's the matter? Its not like you guys are going to have sex while watching the movie, right?" Kakashi asked, his eyes twinkling. He shrugged and leaned back. "Would you be the cute gal that you are and play the movie, Hinata-chan?"
Hinata, red as a tomato, pressed play on the remote control for the DVD.
Before Sasuke erupted, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes. One, he knew that they should have watched during the inspection. Two, he should have cuddled with Hinata in while watching. Three, he should have let Kakashi see them get real close. Four, Kakashi is flirting with Hinata. Five, the idiot was doing it in his face. Five, that bastard was actually going to put that slinky arm around his girlfriend's shoulders! He jumped on his feet and crashed his butt between Kakashi and Hinata. Giving Kakashi a glare, he snorted and put his arm around Hinata as Kakashi's arm was around his shoulders. He would have to do this to keep her safe, not that he had any complaints though. Be calm, he told himself. Don't mind the old geezer. He just doesn't have anyone else to annoy. "Are you okay? Excuse the old man. He's a natural born pervert." He heard the jounin snicker.
Hinata nodded and smiled. "Do you want some of the snacks we bought? You brought it in the kitchen so I'll get it."
"Probably later. How about you?"
"Later is better," she said, leaning back on him. She drew closer against him and whispered, "Your former teacher really likes you, ne?"
Sasuke rolled his eyes and took one of her hands in his, his fingers playing with hers. "Likes to annoy me, yes." He blushed and looked her in the eyes. "Sorry. About him, I mean."
Hinata squeezed his fingers and grinned. "Its okay. We really weren't going to have sex during the movie anyway, right?"
Sasuke snorted. "I was planning it the whole time. Just jokin–" His whole being felt electrified as he watched her pearl eyes widen with shock. Her pale skin creamed to a flush. Gazing at her parted lips, the world suddenly disappeared. He leaned down for a real kiss but someone had suddenly jerked beside him. Sasuke's felt the volcano erupting again as he turned to look at his side.
"Gomen-ne! It was a scary scene!" Kakashi exclaimed with a mock voice. He withdrew his arm Sasuke's shoulder. "You guys stop talking. Don't you know that's annoying? And disrespectful? I'm watching this, you know."
"Like you haven't been disrespectful the entire night?" Sasuke snapped. "If I were you, I'd shut up before I throw you out." He turned to the television.
"A new person indeed," Kakashi remarked as he watched the movie again.
Sometime after the movie, Kakashi waited on the door with smiling eyes. "Let me walk you home, Hinata-chan –"
After a shove, a door was closed with a slam.
A snicker in the night, a ninja went back home alone.
Sasuke let out a growl of satisfaction as he locked his door. He didn't notice that he growled one too many times this day. Finally, some time alone. Without anything to intervene. He went to the kitchen where Hinata was and sat down on a chair as he watched her get things done in his kitchen. "Hungry, huh?" He smiled to himself, completely forgetting about his anger for the jounin. He liked seeing Hinata in his house. With her here, it felt homey.
"Actually," she said, closing the lid of the bento box she just made from the food they bought. "This is for your dinner tomorrow. You can eat the snacks now if you like." She put it inside the refrigerator. "Sushi's fine, right?"
"Dinner?" Did that mean…?
"Well… I can't meet you tomorrow," Hinata replied, cleaning the area where she prepared his meal. She was familiar with the small kitchen, more than she was with the one at the mansion. She gave him a smile. "What's with the serious face again?"
"Why? What –I mean, are you going somewhere?" Sasuke felt his face was warm because of his flustered words.
"No. 'Tou-san wants to hold a family meeting tomorrow."
"Ah…" So that meant no dinner with her tomorrow night. Hiashi means off-limits. No Hinata. Damn. What was he supposed to do now? After the watchtower, maybe he could just commit hara-kiri. Yes, probably hara-kiri…
"Oh god, I got to get home!" Hinata yelped all of a sudden.
"I'll… walk you home." Hara-kiri… He'll do it fast and quick.
"No need. It'll be quicker if I go alone," she said, walking towards the front door. "You could see me out?"
Sasuke jumped to his feet and quickly went to the door. "I'll walk you home."
"No. I said I'll be fine alone."
"Please-"
"No. I'm not a baby."
"Fine." Jump, boy. Its now or never.
"Fine-" he cut her off with a kiss, his arms trapping her in a tight embrace.
Sasuke felt like he was to die. This was fantastic. He knew he was going to make a habit out of this.
You devil.
Oh you bet I am, he thought as he deepened the kiss, letting instinct move his lips. He then paused for air, licked his lips and was about to indulge himself again when a finger stopped his mouth from its assault. He frowned at her, an irritated look across his features. But inside he was grinning, laughing happily, doing a victory dance –she looked beautiful after the kiss. More beautiful than she always is. Her cheeks were flushed, her lips were swollen and redder, and her eyes were dazed. He liked it. "What?" he asked against the finger, trying to sound impatient. But he could stare at her like this forever.
"Don't ever think of something suicidal while I'm gone," she said breathily, tracing his lower lip gently. She kissed him lightly on the lips. She bravely embraced him back and pulled him lower to whisper, "I love you…"
Sasuke smirked, pulled her harder against his frame and kissed her hard on the lips. Did she really have to go home? This was bliss. "Hinata," he groaned between kisses, "I-"
"Really need to go home," she interrupted him, pushing him away from her. She pressed her lips together as he pulled her for another kiss. "Sasuke…"
"Do you really?"
"Love you?"
Sasuke nodded.
"Yes."
Sasuke smiled, gave her one quick peck on the lips and let her go. "You sure you don't want me to walk you home?" He certainly would want more kissing.
"I'm sure," she replied while she fixed her clothes that got too out of place because of the young man's death grip. She bit her lip and turned for the door. "Goodnight."
"G-goodnight," he said, feeling the emptiness clouding his senses as she turned to leave. Sadness consuming him when her retreating figure disappeared in the night. He could spy on her but she'd get mad if she found out. He noticed that his body felt cold –it wanted more heat from her. Something was missing already.
She loved him!
Sasuke closed the door with a sigh, felt defeated as he went to his room. Lights still open, he lay like a lump of lifeless rock on the futon and groaned. He closed his eyes briefly, only to have images of her flash right in front of his eyes. His previous dream this morning occurred like a drug and his body reacted without restrain. It was clear now. After the kiss, after knowing she loved him, after everything –he needed her. More than he should.
An idea occurred to him as his body felt aware of the foreign object that was still in his clothing. Reaching behind to get it, he felt nervous and guilty. This wont be too bad an idea, right? Its not like he was actually getting addicted to it… Besides, its just the second night… Opening the book on the folded page where he had stopped earlier, his eyes began to read, while one of his hands reached below, creeping under his boxers to grasp the length of what he had become… and started to grasp and pull with desperate need.
It would be a simple procedure, this task towards release.
Change the woman's name into 'Hinata' and voila…!!!
"Mmmmhhh…" Come, come, Paradise…
A.N. Don't worry, I'm going to plot the M part soon enough. Just want to put even a little substance to it, hehehe. Reviews please!! Tell me what you think!! Mwahugz to you all!!
