A/N: This story is rated T just for safety. Nothing really happens but there are some implicit things and some cursing. Okay... I've changed the story around 3 times and this is finally the one I chose. I tried to make it a funny one and I hope you guys enjoy it!
?
Sasuke was avoiding her. He had been avoiding her ever since the week has started. Ever since they have had an argument about how the lack of romance had been affecting their relationship. Of course the girl was the one who brought that up and of course the boy saw nothing wrong with the romance levels between them. He saw nothing wrong about the way they would spend their time together and his friends really believed his initiatives were pretty good. Yet, what Naruto, Sai and Sasuke couldn't see- and one of them had both the Sharingan and the Rinnegan- was that inviting her for a sparing wasn't really the best definition of a romantic gesture. The girl, according to Ino, couldn't keep quiet about it anymore. And, ever since the day she said what she was told to, Sasuke had been conveniently pushing her away with the whole silence treatment. And, for the pinkette, this was simply unacceptable.
For being so anxious, the Haruno girl wasn't the kind of person who could leave things without a full resolution. She couldn't simply accept his actions and give him a time to think about what had happened. She knew that, If she really gave him the time he needed, the Uchiha would only make his decision after some years and Sakura had already waited for too long. She was tired of wasting any other second of their time as an official couple. She was tired of staying away from him. All of those years he had been away were more than just enough to make her miss him like crazy. She didn't want that whole thing between them to end because of a stupid fight like that. And, due to this paranoid side of hers that had already imagined a regretful future without him, the pinkette was ready to swallow her pride and do something to fix their relationship. She would save their love, or her name wasn't Haruno Sakura.
The girl, with a little help from her blonde girl friend and her love magazine; planned for everything to happen in that cold Wednesday night. She had tried to talk to him one last time during the morning but, as it had been happening, the Uchiha set her off. He had said something about meeting Naruto for some important discussions regarding Kaguya and had told her that he couldn't have dinner with her. Sakura knew it was a lie, of course, and, since she had been left with no choice, the Haruno girl was about to do something she would feel embarrassed about for her whole life. But she didn't care about it, no. At that moment, no matter how much he would tease her about that in the future, she was decided to get him back. She was decided to fix everything.
The whole thing started right after the clock stroke midnight. A girl wearing a black leather coat left her apartment with no weapons to assist her in her mission. She made sure not to be seen as she jumped over the roofs of the village until she reached his own balcony, from where, through the window that was left uncovered by the curtains, she saw his body laying down on his bed. For every light was turned out and his thorax was going up and down smoothly, the pinkette concluded he was asleep and, if she was lucky enough, dreaming about her. Sakura was certainly a greedy girl and, for the first time, she admitted it. She admitted everything and she even condemned herself for being so possessive over him. Perhaps all that jealousy he had of her was contaminating her as well. She wanted him to dream about her as she dreamed about him. She wanted this and much more from the Uchiha. And she was going to have it all from her Sasuke-kun. Or that was what she expected.
For knowing he slept with his window unlocked in case he forgot the keys to the front door; Sakura carefully made her way inside his room. Unlikely all the times she had been by his side while he slept, the boy under the covers was, oddly, snoring. Sasuke was never the kind of boy to snore. Not when they slept together, at least. Perhaps he was just really tired of whatever he had done during the day and of that whole bad atmosphere between them. Yes, it could only be that, Sakura thought. Luckily, for them, she was about to fix that situation. She was about to apologize to him- what was already something that deserved to be celebrated- and she was about to do it in a way only she could. There was no way she would be rejected by him, she knew. And she was right. Uchiha Sasuke would never reject what she was about to do. But not just anyone would, to be honest.
Once she was close enough to his bed, an embarrassed blush covered her cheeks as she took one last breath. If she really wanted to give up, that would be her last chance. After that point, there would be no return and eternal memories would certainly be craved in their minds. Eternal memories that would b the end of hers if someone else found out. But, since she knew how much of a gentleman her boyfriend was and since she had already gone that far, Sakura Haruno was ready to face all of the consequences. She was ready to take the next step of her plan. She was ready to heal their love.
Thanks to a reason she didn't know, the boy was still sleeping as a rock. She saw as his legs would be kicking under the covers and she couldn't help but smiling at that. Sasuke was really cute when he slept alone, for sure. He even reminded her of the nights when the whole team 7 had to share a tent in the middle of the forest and the blonde idiot would always keep them all awake with his unconscious hits. Those nights had, certainly, showed them how torturous sleeping with someone could be. But, at that moment, the pinkette was about to change that vision. At least that was her plan.
Not wasting any other moment, the girl took off that leather coat she had been wearing ever since she had left home, allowing it to slide through her curves. Under that vest, there was nothing but her soft naked body ready to join his. Everything seemed to be going exactly as Ino had read on that magazine. And, if things kept going that way, she would have her boyfriend back in no time. All she needed to do was getting under the covers with the love of her life. Simple as that. But, for being Haruno Sakura, simple wasn't a word that belonged to her vocabulary list.
" give me some space..." She whispered in his ear, and, indeed, he did what he was told.
" look... I'm sorry, okay? I didn't want to fight and... I really can't stay mad at you at all... Please, forgive me this time..."
Sakura slowly wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned against his back, pressing her breasts against his skin. This kind of touch certainly made a smile appear in his sleeping lips and, of course, even if he was still unconscious, even his dreams knew where that whole thing was going to end up. And you bet he liked it. The only one who wouldn't like it was the one who was sleeping in the guests' room. He certainly wouldn't like to know what those two were about to do in the room he normally calls his.
Laying on a bed just a stair away from them, the owner of the house had been forced to sleep in another room. Even if that idiot he called best friend was the reason why he had that guests' room in the first place, Naruto would still sleep on his bed because he claimed the mattress was better. That idiot certainly didn't understand much of manners but, on that night, specifically, Sasuke wasn't really that mad because of that. On that night, his reason for not being able to sleep was not his blonde friend or his countless nightmares. His reason for not being able to sleep was, certainly, his pink haired girlfriend.
Ever since they had fought, 2 days before, the nights had been longer than they normally were. He missed her and he really wanted to have her in his arms on that cold winter night in Konoha. But, since that social inept that he used to call"replacement" told him that girls like the guys who play difficult, they had been apart from each other. It might have been stupid but, somehow, those words were kept inside his head. He knew that it was probably a stupid advice and that Sai was just an idiot who had read something somewhere. He knew it all but, when she came talking about romance, the Uchiha freaked out and, fearing losing to someone who gave her flowers every day, he decided to try the artist's technique. And that, for sure, had been his worst decision.
It was not like he had never stood days without talking to her before but this time was different. This time he was aware he had to avoid her in order to have her back. It was certainly the most contradictory of the plans but, since he wasn't an expert in love, he decided to follow it anyways. Yet, Sasuke discovered that a plan like that was a lot easier in the theory. Or not even there. He just couldn't spend one day without seeing that smile of hers or holding her hand. He couldn't spend one day more without her and, once he had reached that conclusion, the raven haired boy stood up from that bed, ready to go after his girl. If not for what was about to happen, Sasuke would have certainly gone to her house to make her a little surprise. Fortunately, his feet managed to save some steps until her apartment. But, his unlucky ears didn't avoid the deafening scream that echoed in his house.
" AHHH! YOU PERVERT!"
After hearing those words and a heavy noise of something falling on the wooden floor of his room, Sasuke ran as fast as he could towards the origin of the problem. He was sure he had heard her voice there but that was just impossible, right? She would never be there and scream those words to her best friend. That whole idea was just pointless but, somehow, there was something telling him that Naruto was the one to be blamed for that. And, as soon as he opened the door of his room, such feeling became a lot stronger.
What his dark eyes saw at that moment won't ever be forgotten. He saw his girlfriend completely naked and messily wrapped around his covers. A blush as red as a tomato was painting her whole face and her eyes weren't really opened as she randomly threw the pillows at the blonde. Naruto, in the middle of that mess, was shirtless and covering his also red face from her pillow attacks that were coming with inhuman strength at him. His body was on the floor due to the jump he gave when she screamed and, on his head, Sasuke could already see a hematoma growing. What on earth had happened in there? And why the hell was Sakura naked?!
" W-What the hell happened here?!"
" Teme! This whole thing between you and Sakura-chan should not involve me!"
" shut up, Naruto! You shouldn't even be here at first!"
" Y-You already know I love Hinata!"
" I brought you two together, you idiot! Of course I know that!"
" then why the hell were you abusing me!?"
" I was not abusing you! You were the one in my boyfriend's bed!"
" if Sasuke isn't satisfying you, Sakura-chan, it's not my fault! Maybe you should try looking for more experienced guys-ttebayo!"
" NARUTO! I'm going to kill you!"
" BOTH OF YOU, SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Green and blue eyes scaredy turned to face red ones. Sasuke was really mad at that time and someone had serious risks of dying at that moment. Perhaps it would be better if they just ran away or let him give the orders for that moment. Pissing the Uchiha off was certainly a synonym to signing your death sentence. And Sakura and Naruto, somehow, seemed to be experts in that. Maybe they should really just shut up.
" what the hell happened here!?"
" Sakura-chan was trying to seduce me!"
" what!? Shut up, you idiot! That's not what happened!"
" of course it is-ttebayo!"
" of course not!"
" is!"
" not!"
" is!"
" not!"
" is!"
" not!"
" SHUT UP!"
"..."
Defeatedly, the Uchiha sighed. He was probably gonna go mad if those two were to stay in the room while he searched for answers so, as the first thing to be done, Sasuke had decided to get rid of the one who probably didn't know what was going on. And, as probably all of the other times he had to do so, the raven haired boy's decision was made as quickly as his eyes returned to normal. If you could ever call them normal.
" get out of here, Naruto."
" eh!? Why me!?"
" because I've said so! You're not staying in the same room as my girlfriend while she's naked!"
" tch... I think it's a little too late for that-ttebayo..."
" NOW!"
" tch tch... Fine! Hn, you better give Hinata a good explanation, mis!"
He said, jumping through the window. Somehow, the team 7 ninjas had a serious problem with the front door. But that didn't really matter at that moment. The one thing that mattered was what had just happened in his room. And you could bet he would want the whole truth from his girlfriend.
Sighing once more, Sasuke finally went towards his bed and towards a pouting Sakura. She was still wrapped in his covers and, her eyes, were carefully looking at him as he sat right next to her. His eyes, at the moment they met hers, told her pretty much everything. They told her he wanted the real answers no matter what they were. They told her that he also knew that there was something wrong going on between them and, of course, they told her they would fix it. Together.
" what. happened. here?"
Sakura sighed. There was no use of lying anyways.
" I was trying to make you a surprise in the middle of the night by coming to your bed and laying..." She blushed, looking down. " naked... By your side... But it ended up that you weren't here and I hugged Naruto instead."
" how could you not know it was me!?"
" it was really dark, okay!"
" still, he has two arms. TWO arms!"
" yes I know and... When I hugged him, I realized that... And then I screamed and he fell from the bed and then you came and... Well, here we are..."
The Uchiha kept looking at her for some good twenty seconds before he could even blink. Of course that pissed her off and made her want to punch him in order to make him talk. She wanted to hear him scolding her, or breaking up with her or even calling her annoying. She wanted to hear anything coming out from his mouth that didn't really push her away for later. Sakura wanted a definition, no matter what. But that was not the one thing in his head at that moment.
" ... Why did you even want to hug me naked in the middle of the night?"
"... Hn, Ino told me it would work... She... She told me it would make you stop ignoring me and stop being mad... And so I wanted to try..."
" tch... Silly." He sighed once more, immediately looking back into her eyes. " I'm not mad... And about ignoring you... Sai told me it would make things better for us... Trying to act difficult towards you, I don't know..."
" more than you already were? Tch... You were basically impossible for all these years, Sasuke-kun... If you ignore me now, it will hurt more than if you were really betraying me with Naruto, for example..."
Sasuke made a disgusted face for an instance. No, not Naruto nor any other girl would ever make him betray her. Never.
" ... You don't have to worry about this anymore, okay?"
" hn... Then why weren't you sleeping here? I mean, wasn't the guests' room made just for Naruto?"
" yeah but... We were playing cards and he ended up sleeping on my bed."
" oh, playing cards..." She glared. " what about the important discussion about Kaguya?"
" ... Tch, I'm sorry, okay? I won't do this again but you also should stop with those stupid ideas."
" hn, said the one who listened to Sai and something he read."
" you listed to Ino, isn't it the same thing?"
Pretty much, but she wouldn't say it.
" o-of course not..." She sighed. " look, I don't wanna fight, okay? I'm tired of being without you. This whole playing difficult surely beat me."
"... Were I the one under the covers, I wouldn't have been able to resist either..." He smirked, slightly. " I don't wanna play this game anymore. Let's just forget it, okay?"
" okay..."
At that moment, when they both smiled at each other, their hearts knew that things would be okay, they knew that a stupid fight like that would never be on their way again and that taking advices from the most idealist couple of Konoha wasn't surely gonna happen that soon. Sasuke and Sakura would certainly start trusting each other more about certain topics and, for sure, following love magazines challenges was never gonna happen again. Their love didn't need help. Their love was just fine in the way it was. No game could win against their love. But one of them could always win the game against the other.
" I think we haven't learned anything from that, right, Sasuke-kun?"
" uh? How can you say that? I've learned a lot."
" really? Like what?"
" like... Never letting Naruto sleep on my bed again."
She chuckled.
" what else?"
"Uhm..." He smirked, looking dirty at her. " I've learned you're a pervert... I also think you've learned something." He said, leaning closer and placing his hand on the bare part of her lower back, pulling her closer. She blushed for that.
" w-what did I learn, Sasuke-kun...?"
" simple..." He kissed her, leading her body to have its back pressed against the matt. Once his body was over hers, his voice came out as a whisper, sending shivers down her spine. Sasuke certainly liked to play dirty. And he did that because he always knew how everything would end up. Playing games with him is, certainly, a dangerous thing. Specially when the pinkette is his opponent. Specially when his love was at stake. When that happened, he could not lose.
" I always win..."
The End
