Closer
A Naruto one-shot
Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura
Notes: Inspired by nami86's fanart called "Problems (Part 1 and 2)". I also took the Nine Inch Nails song "Closer" into consideration when writing this. I'm not sure if this is what nami86 had in mind when drawing it... I listened to the song about 10 times while staring at the drawings before I started writing stuff down... Here's my interpretation.

Non-graphic sexual content ahead. I warn you!


When she walked into your room, you did not expect for your body to respond like that. Immediately, you smelled the familiar fragrance of her shampoo; it was a gentle touch of spring flowers in the air. Why did you remember something as trivial as that...?

Who would have thought that it would cause your blood to rush.

Haruno Sakura represented all the virtues of Konoha: strength, intelligence, grace, prosperity, purity...

You wanted to desecrate her.

With a hand to her throat, you pinned her against the wall. With both calloused hands, you gripped her shoulders so she would not escape you, dotting her skin with bruises. And her kiss, her kiss that was so sweet, sweet like red wine and just as intoxicating.

You wanted to complicate her.

You were used to feeling empty. All these years in the dark, underground, voided you of senses. So why did it change with her? This world of darkness, sweat, blood and tears... You wanted to pour it all into her. She could take you away from all that, if you let her.

You wanted to violate her.

She let you touch her, did she not? You pinned her hands above her head. She let you zip her tunic open. You buried your lips in her cleavage, tasting her sweet sweat that beaded her flesh. Animal instincts kicked in when you listened to her whimper and moan your name. It caused such a boost, such a delight...

You wanted to penetrate her.

Before she could say a word, you pulled down her shorts, pulled down your own pants and pushed yourself between her legs. She let out an earth-shattering scream but it just fueled you, fueled you to pump harder and faster. You relished the thrill of feeling her from the inside, feeling how warm and soft and yielding she was around you.

And somewhere around the time you reached the climatic physical euphoria, you shut your eyes tight, watching as a white light appeared in your vision. You were consumed in the heat, the movement, the drive--.

Until--.

"I love you."

Your world stopped.

Did she say...?

Something struck you then.

Did you just...? You did, didn't you?

Ever so slowly, you felt something trickle into your insides; it weighed over you so strongly that you could barely breathe. Your peripherals closed in and the back of your eyes began to sting.

Her body was shaking. You could hear her sniffles, feel her tears wet your neck...

You pulled her closer against your body, embracing her against your chest.

What have you done?
