Yay an update! School has been kicking my ass lately /3 I promise I'm working on a new chapter for Sometimes as well :) Hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer, I don't own Naruto or Sasuke or Sakura

Sasuke woke up to the sound of an alarm.

God was it annoying and god did his head hurt. He wasn't sure he had ever been that drunk before, but he was definitely sober no. The spinning sensation was awful and it made him feel sick just thinking about it and speaking of headaches and spinning..

Sasuke threw the duvet off himself and scrambled out of bed so he could reach the toilet in time. He vaguely registered the sound of that wretched sounding alarm being turned off but his lurching stomach was rather distracting from what was going on outside the bathroom. He emptied his stomach, took a moment to compose his self (adjust to the spinning), then rinsed his mouth with mouthwash and walked out of the bathroom into the bedroom.

Sakura was now dressed in her clothes from the night before and was placing a large glass of water (beside the one he hadn't drank the night before) and a bottle of painkillers on his nightstand. Did she look this beautiful last night? He couldn't remember. Did she always look this beautiful? How had he missed that?

"Oh, Sasuke. I wasn't sure if you'd be out before I left. Make sure you drink some water, take two of these and go back to sleep."

"Hn. Where are you going?" Sasuke walked across the room towards his bed.

"Oh, it's almost 5:30 so I have to go to work." Sasuke looked at the clock on his wall. Yuck. It was almost 5:30am.

"Take this." Sasuke opened a drawer and pulled out a pull over hoodie. It would be cold and Sakura hadn't worn a jacket. Jesus his head hurt.

"Oh, uh, it's fine Sasuke I don't need this."

"Just bring it back tonight."

"Tonight? I never come over on Friday."

"You wanted to talk." 'Oh' She thought.

"No you wanted to talk, remember?"

"Just bring it back tonight, I'll be here. You're gonna be late."

Sakura's eyes opened wide.

"Oh shit! Ok later." She threw on the hoodie and rushed out the door.

Sasuke groaned in pain and crawled back into bed.

'Who woke up at five in the morning? Sakura apparently. What does she even do at the hospital?' Sasuke would have to ask later, for now, he needed more sleep.

Sasuke woke up in an all too familiar cold sweat. His heart was beating wildly and he sat up in an attempt to fully wake himself up.

He had had another nightmare. It was nothing new, but they were always vivid and always brought back painful memories. Sasuke had been plagued by nightmares since his family had been killed. It was one of the reasons he started drinking in the first place; to take the edge off at night so he could sleep without having anxiety about actually sleeping. Sasuke covered his face with his hands and tried to even out his breathing. Once he was satisfied he lay back down and looked at the clock.

Was it really nine in the evening? Had he slept that long? He never slept that long. He supposed he should get up and shower to be ready for when Sakura came over. He didn't want to stay in bed any longer anyways; it was far too big for just one person to sleep in.

Sasuke showered then found something to eat in his kitchen. Apparently Sakura had fixed him a sandwich before she had left that morning. He felt a hint of guilt as he ate it.

A few minutes later, he heard Sakura at the door. This time, he was able to get up and answer it.

"Hey." She greeted him with the same smile she always did; innocent and lacking judgement. She was wearing his hoodie, but her pants had changed from leggings to scrubs. He liked how she looked in his clothing.

"Hey." He greeted her in return and they sat in the kitchen. Sakura noticed the half eaten sandwich.

"Did you just wake up?"

"Hn. About an hour ago."

"Oh, are you feeling better?"

"Look, Sakura-"

"Ah it's ok Sasuke-kun. You don't need to say anything if it makes you uncomfortable. I mean this isn't really what we do." She sounded nervous.

"And what is it we do?" He looked directly at her but she avoided his eye contact.

"Well, you know. I just come over and we hang out."

She was avoiding his question.

"Tch, we do more than that Sakura."

She looked uncomfortable. He didn't blame her though, it wasn't like they had ever talked about what exactly it was that they were doing. Sasuke had also never been that drunk with her over, or probably ever. He couldn't remember what he had said to her the night before, but judging by the way she avoided eye contact with him now, it must have made her feel pretty embarrassed.

"Well you've been so chatty this last week, why don't you tell me what we're doing Sasuke?"

He didn't have an answer so he simply continued to stare at her.

"Sasuke, do you even remember last night? I've never seen you so drunk before. I mean, I know it's not my business but.. It makes me worry about you."

He felt guilty again.

No, he didn't remember last night. But apparently it hadn't gone the way Thursday nights usually did. Shit, why had he gotten so drunk? Had he said something stupid?

"I don't."

She finally looked him in the eye and it was heart breaking. She looked sympathetic, but she also looked hurt and a little bit broken. Why did she look so hurt? Was that his fault? He wished he could remember what he had said.

"What did I say to you Sakura?" He couldn't imagine he had said anything malicious to her.

"Uh, it's nothing Sasuke-kun. What else did you wanna talk about?"

She was avoiding his question.

"I want to talk about what I said last night."

She broke eye contact again.

"It's fine Sasuke, you often say things when I come over and it's never a big deal."

She meant when he had been drinking.

"Sakura. All I remember is asking you to stay over, but what else did I say?"

"Uh, well." Her hesitation was obvious.

"You said I was the only one who shared your bed with you and that you were sorry you had gotten drunk, and then asked me to stay."

Sasuke couldn't help but notice the pretty blush that covered her face.

"And what else."

"..You asked me to tell me I love you and told me you need help."

Well now it made sense that she didn't want to talk about this.

Sasuke had always known she loved him. Apparently he found her words to be comforting last night. He would probably be in love with her too if he wasn't so broken.

"Ah." This conversation sure was getting awkward. He had gotten the answer he wanted. Well, maybe not what he wanted, but he wanted to know what he had said last night and he had heard it.

"Lets just go to bed, we don't need to have this conversation right now."

He saw Sakura stiffen at his suggestion.

"Why would I do that Sasuke?"

"What do you mean?"

"I don't stay here Sasuke-kun, this isn't what we do. I only stayed last night because it would've been irresponsible for me to leave when you were that drunk."

"Tch, just come to bed. We can finish this in the morning."

"You don't understand do you?" Sakura had raised her voice slightly and was becoming fidgety.

"What is there to understand?"

"I love you Sasuke! That's why I don't stay here. I can't, any bit of hope is too painful for me. This isn't what we do, we're just supposed to have sex because that's all you can ever give me." Her eyes began to well up as she finished.

He felt guilty again.

"I know Sakura."

They stared at each other for a few moments, still sitting across from each other at the kitchen table.

"Just come to bed with me will you? I swear I'm dead sober and I want to deal with this in the morning."

She didn't move.

"Sakura-"

"Ok. Lets go."

Sasuke got up and she followed him to his room.

It was weird for Sakura to be in his room like this; with only the intention of sleeping. She didn't really feel like they had accomplished anything tonight. If anything, it felt like things had become even more complicated than before. She felt nervous. But she got undressed nonetheless and crawled into his bed. Sasuke was already naked and under the duvet. She crawled in next to him but lay on her side facing his opposite direction.

Soon she felt his chest flush against her back, and his hips flush against hers. His arm wrapped around her waist and he burrowed his nose into the back of her neck.

"I'm sorry Sakura."

"Shut up idiot, I'm trying to sleep."

"I'm glad you're here."

She wove her fingers into his hand that was around her waist. Sasuke placed a few gentle kisses on the back of her neck and rubbed her hand with the pad of his thumb.

Somehow the innocent touches led to innocent kisses, and the innocent kisses led to hands in hair and tongue and soft touches and-thank god they were already naked.

Sasuke and Sakura had always been better at expressing themselves through touch instead of though words.

He was on top of her and inside and they were moving so slowly together and it just felt so right. And god did Sakura look beautiful underneath him. Her eyes were scrunched closed in both concentration and pleasure, and her mouth was open just enough for soft pants and light moans to escape. Her skin was hot and glistening with sweat and she had one arm holding onto his neck and the other lost deep in his now unruly hair. She looked like a goddess in his eyes.

Sasuke lowered his head and kissed her. Her lips were so soft and they followed his perfectly. Normally Sakura was a playful kisser and often bit his lip or licked, but he could tell she was drowning in pleasure when she could hardly keep up with his mouth. His hands shamelessly roamed her body and he decided to move his lips to her neck. She moaned languidly and bit her lip. God he found that sexy. He grabbed her hand that had been around his neck and pinned it about her head, leaving one to roam his hair.

Sasuke could feel they were getting closer and naturally began to increase his pace. Sakura was now writhing beneath him and he wanted to hear his name on her tongue. He sucked and bit on the pulse of her neck and pinched one of her nipples. Sakura seemed to find this particularly pleasurable as she began moaning his name louder.

He was so close. But he wanted to wait for her.

"Ah, Sakura. Mmmm, I'm close."

"Hah, ahhh, me too Sasuke-kun. Mmm, don't stop. Please don't ever st-ah!"

Sasuke felt her walls tighten around him and fuck it felt good. He came inside her halfway through her shaky climax around his cock.

Sasuke lay onto his back and Sakura cozied up onto his chest. She found his hand on his chest and wound her fingers in his, rubbing his knuckles.

They laid there not speaking for a while, both wanting to bask in the after glow and incomparable level of pleasure they were able to share with each other. It was warm and a bit sweaty but they tangled themselves up anyway.

Sakura eventually broke the comfortable silence.

"I'm sorry I'm such a mess around you Sasuke. I just don't want to get hurt."

"You're not a mess, I am. And I don't want to hurt you."

"I know Sasuke-kun."

"I'm really glad you're with me Sakura." He kissed the top of her head and nuzzled close. He hoped he was able to convey the intimacy of his behaviour to her.

"I love you Sasuke. Let's sort this out in the morning, ok?"

"Hn. In the morning."

And they slept.

Hope you enjoyed! Thank you to everybody who reviews, I love you all :)
