She woke up on her bed, shivering and with cold drops of sweat dripping down her face. Her head was throbbing and all she wanted to do was make the pain go away. She was even too weak to heal herself. She felt so useless. She lied back down and stared at the wall. She touched her side and noticed she had no bruise. Her suspicions were correct; she had been under genjutsu last night. Sasuke came in moments later with a glass of water. He placed it on the side table and then perched himself at the edge of the bed.
"We really shouldn't fight like this," Sasuke said.
"You're the one who wants to kill me," she spit out.
He looked at her from the corner of his eyes. "I wouldn't be doing that if you'd just behave."
"Are you serious? Listen here, control freak, this is my life and I can do whatever the hell I feel like."
"But you're not the life I'm worried about. It's what's inside," he said.
"How do you even know I'm pregnant? It could have been washed away."
"Drink up the water. We'll see," he demanded, throwing a pre-made pregnancy test towards her.
"It's a little early for a test, don't you think?"
Though she wanted to refuse, she knew it'd be futile, especially since Sasuke was glaring at her after that comment. So she obliged just this once, gulping all the water in one shot. When she had enough necessity to use the bathroom, she snatched the cursed pregnancy test and trudged along the way.
After reading the hand-written directions and doing as it instructed, she waited a few minutes. Sasuke knocked on the door and asked to come in. Oh sure, he was only quite polite when he wanted to.
"Is it done?" he asked after he locked the door behind him.
"Patience, Sasuke-kun," she seethed.
She picked the parchment up and stared at the result. Her insides just screamed and she wanted her eyes to be lying to her. The result was clearly marked on the test, a sign of the imprisonment she'd have to suffer. Sasuke took a peek over her shoulder and she saw from the reflection of the mirror that he smirked.
"Mm, all according to plan," he said, stroking his hand along her shoulder.
She slapped it away and turned around, feeling a tickling sensation in her nose. "Happy now?"
"It'd be even better if you didn't keep rejecting my attempts at affection."
She snickered, ignoring the pitiful sensation in her stomach. "You, affection? Right. Even so, that's something that should be left for agreeing couples."
"Then marry me," Sasuke said.
"Your Mangekyō Sharingan must be affecting more than your eyesight, like your brain," she said as she pushed her index finger against his forehead. "You're forcing me to birth your child and now you want me to commit my life to you?"
"It's not as bad as you're making it sound."
"Somehow, I expected my proposal to be more romantic than just being stuck in a bathroom with a lunatic," she said to herself.
His voice became rougher. "Listen, it's all the same to me, whether you want to marry or not. I'm just thinking of the child."
"Two people that hate each other yet stay together for the sake of the child will ultimately psychologically scar that child."
"You're becoming a burden. You're too stubborn," he said.
"And you weren't like this at all, Sasuke. What happened to the boy everyone used to know back in Konoha?"
He placed a hand on her neck and then brushed his lips against the other side of her neck, tilting her head. A detested moan escaped her lips. Damn it! Her body always gave her away, no matter how much she refused.
"He's gone," Sasuke softly said in her ear.
"So if he's gone, I have a right to..." Sasuke began to nibble and suckle on her weak spot, prompting her to shut up. "...to change too," she managed to say.
He pressed his leg against her area, causing her to squirm. Was she really that desperate that she just wanted to do it, despite the fact that the one she'd be doing it with was a complete jerk? And did Sasuke really have the stamina even though they had just done it yesterday? Something inside was telling her not to yet it was begging for her to comply.
"Stop!" she mustered, getting Sasuke to look at her with puzzled eyes. She continued, mentally hitting herself for the words that came out of her mouth, "Not here. In the room, maybe."
After all, the pain in her body was ceasing. He agreed and held her hand as he pulled her along the corridor to his room. Once they went in and locked the door, he flung her on the bed and began licking her collarbone. He was on top of one of her legs, slowly pulling off her underwear. She put her hand on his chest and he grabbed it, clutching it in place.
"Can you try to be more romantic this time?" she sighed, hoping that he wouldn't ignore her plea.
He kissed her jaw line and then moved to her forehead. "I understand how you feel," he whispered, his eyes radiating warmth.
She grabbed his face and kissed him, sucking on his lower lip. She wrapped her arms around his neck while allowing entrance for his tongue into her mouth. One of his hands made its way up her dress, reaching her breasts. His other arm was holding his position from on top of her. She kissed his neck, licked his jaw line, and then bit into his neck while sucking on it, a little payback for everything. Although he complained, she felt him against her leg. He was turned on. She giggled a bit and noticed a hint of redness on Sasuke's cheek.
"Did I make you blush? I've never seen you do that," she teased him.
He slightly growled and they toppled off the bed, her taking charge and straddling on top of him. Her hands neared his pants, brushing up against his erected member but she stopped, wanting to torture him a little.
"Not again," he mumbled as he flipped her over and lied on top of her. "Do I have to do everything around here?"
She closed her eyes and smiled pleasurably once she felt the plunge of him into her. She buried her nails on his shoulders, making him grunt. He was being rather rough, intent on making her surrender to him. Sasuke made small conversation with her while continuing to increase his pace.
"This one and many more to come," he said.
Not really knowing how to reply, she said in between breaths, "I hope you mean yourself."
"Is this better than what my brother ever gave you?"
"Shit," she hollered as he jammed deeper inside her the moment he said that, as if he was punishing her. "It was...only once."
"What?" he asked with a satisfied expression.
She didn't bother to answer him and instead concentrated on the good feeling. Sasuke, though, had another idea. He pulled out and sat on the bed. She carefully watched his lips and the way his smile seemed off-putting.
"Why can't we ever just have one non-stop session?" she asked in frustration.
"It's only because you do it to me."
She stood up and lied on the bed on her chest. She turned her head to him, pouting a little. "Please?" she said.
He came over her and traced his fingers on the arch of her back. He lifted her butt a little and entered from behind. The way he pumped into her felt even more intense. She gripped onto the sheets; his index finger made its way into her mouth. She sucked it a little, which apparently made Sasuke become even more aroused.
Her body quivered beneath him and she couldn't control the spasms; her toes curled, her back arched. He had to hold her lower body up as he continued throughout her climax, his member tightened inside her. He moaned in unison with her and took one last deep plunge. He pulled out and she lied on the bed again completely. His chest was pressed up against her back and she felt suffocated just by him being so close to her. He wrapped her in his arms and placed a kiss on her shoulder blade.
"You were compliant today," he said as he brushed her wet bangs and caressed the side of her face.
"Sasuke, I'll marry you," she whispered while focusing her view on the wall, her head still against the pillow.
"Really?" he asked. "Why the sudden change in attitude?"
"You're right. A child needs both parents," she lied, covering up the truth which was that she had a sexual and emotional attachment to him.
She'd finally realised that it wasn't just the way they were sexually intimate. She'd done the same thing with Itachi but she felt powered back then. She could have simply stopped and not care. But with Sasuke, it was different. He filled an emptiness inside her, something that she couldn't achieve with Itachi. And what if she really liked him to control her? She needed some structure in her life.
"What about what you said of 'psychologically scarring' the child?" he asked.
"We'll make it work, Sasuke-kun," she replied. "But please, propose to me again in a more favourable form."
He laughed, moving away from her and going to the other side of the bed. "Okay."
One month later
It was the afternoon and she decided to head over to a nearby lake. She needed to cool off from all the practise she'd been doing behind Sasuke's back so she could become stronger. She jumped in the lake fully clothed. The icy water shot through her, yet her temperature was so hot, it made her feel like she was burning. She walked out of the lake and lied on the ground, gripping the dirt and grass beneath her hands. She heaved a sigh, closing her tired eyes. She heard feet shuffling on the grass next to her but she ignored it.
"Hey," Sasuke softly said.
She lazily opened her eyes and found him sitting next to her, his hands supporting his body behind him. He simply looked at the red sun. She raised an eyebrow in confusion and closed her eyes again. She felt him lie next to her, his hand sweeping against hers.
"Sora, come here," he softly said.
"What do you mean? I am here."
"Open your eyes."
"What?" she asked as she did what was told.
He tilted her head, ran his fingers down her face, and gently pressed his lips on hers. She was shocked, not used to such a sweet gesture from Sasuke. She slowly kissed him back, moving even closer to him and pressing their bodies together. She closed her eyes again, running her hand through his hair. He was holding his upper body's weight on top of her with both his hands. He licked her lower lip and she parted them, letting his tongue roam her mouth. Just mingling their tongues together sent tingling sensations throughout her body. She craved that attention.
He stopped kissing her, got off her, and reached behind his back. She looked at him and also sat up. He bit his lip as he looked at her and presented her one of his hands. She saw that in his hand, he had a ring.
"Marry me, Sora," he said as he gripped onto the ring.
Just about then, the sun was at its brightest and the sky wore a pale orange and dull red colour. Sasuke was covering the sun, making the outline of his body glow.
"Yes," she replied, feeling giddy inside.
He slipped the ring onto her finger and she threw her arms around his neck, embracing him. Some tears escaped her eyes and she rested her head on his shoulders.
"Are you crying?"
"What do you think, dummy? I'm still a girl and have emotions."
She started kissing his neck and sucking on it softly. She licked his neck and felt Sasuke hold her tighter. She giggled at this so she teased him about it. She stood up and grabbed his hands, making him stand up too. She pulled him to the lake and submerged into the water, him on top of her. They kissed under the water but then they came back up for air.
"You better not lose that," he said.
She took his hand and moved it up her sides. He became flustered and kissed her roughly. She let his hand go so he kept going up her stomach. He was doing it so slow, it tickled. She chuckled and the next thing she knew, they were splashing water to each other like children. Then she jumped on top of him, wrapping her legs on his torso and hands on his shoulders since he had a hand behind her back. The hand wandering under her dress reached her chest.
"I want to visit my sister," she said to Sasuke.
He stopped and frowned, running his tongue over his lower lip. After remaining in silence for quite a bit, he said, "This will be an interesting family reunion."
"She's going to fucking kill you," she taunted him.
He shrugged his shoulders and said, "We'll see."
