Chapter 4.
I do not own Naruto or any of the characters.
Light poured in from the gap between the curtains, causing Sakura to groan and bury her face deeper into the white pillow.
Somehow, the sheets seemed much more comfortable, and the pillow seemed much more soft than usual. And it smelled better too...
Sakura's eyes snapped open an she sat up abruptly.
There was more then one thing wrong with the situation. The room was too big, her bed was pink and closer to the door and who was that sleeping on the couch?
The events of yesterday rushed back into her mind as she caught sight of messy red hair.
Sakura slowly climbed out of the bed, with great reluctance and slowly moved to Sasori, and peered over him.
Green eyes softened. It was hard to believe the red-head had such a peaceful and angelic expression while asleep, and she let out a quiet giggle. Just then, Sasori shivered slightly in his sleep.
Guilt creeped up within Sakura. She hadn't thought how taking the bed could affect Sasori. She grabbed another spare blanket and gently placed it over him.
Oh! She could go make him breakfast! Sakura nodded to herself. Yes that would work. She glanced at the clock only to be left jaw dropping. It was already near three! Did she really sleep in that late?
Sakura quickly grabbed some clothing from the closet. She had unpacked her stuff last night, and ha decided with Sasori that they'd each have one half of the closet to hang their clothing.
Making her way to the bathroom, Sakura got changed into a clean outfit and glanced out the window. It didn't look that cold outside, so she grabbed a beige cardigan and slipped it on. She quickly made her way down stairs and was surprised see Sasori on the couch in his black pyjamas.
The red-head closed the magazine he was reading and glanced up at her.
"And where did you think you were going?"
"Well... I was going to head to the supermarket and buy some food for, lunch, looking at the time..."
Sasori frowned before sighing and getting up "I'll come with you"
Sakura blinked rapidly in surprise "Eh? What?"
"One of the teachers also live around the area and I bump into them at the supermarket quite often," Sasori stretched "so if I go with you and if she might be there, it might clear her suspicions"
"Oh! So is that why you order takeout a lot?" While exploring the kitchen yesterday she had found a lot of receipts for takeouts. She had found it confusing, especially when the red-head had all the necessary tools to cook food with, and they had all looked like then had been used before.
Sasori shrugged, "I guess, I've never been much of a cooking person anyways. I'll go get changed, then we can go and buy whatever you need" he slowly made his way upstairs.
The pinkette watched as he disappeared upstairs before moving to the entrance and grabbing her pair of shoes and putting them on.
She waited patiently, and let her mind wander.
I wonder what Sasori's parents are like, she thought, I don't see anything around in the house... Speaking of which, there's hardly anything in this house.
Sasori came down a few minutes later and sat down besides Sakura, putting on his shoes.
Her cheek heated up at how close her pretend husband was. Just shuffle a bit and they would be leaning!
He glanced at her "What are you staring at?"
Sakura quickly looked away "Nothing! Nothing at all"
Sasori rose a brow, before getting up and putting on his black jacket.
"Lets go then, stop daydreaming"
The pink-haired woman frowned at him and quickly got up
"I wasn't daydreaming, Akasuna-san" she defended.
"Sasori"
"Huh?" Sakura tilted her head in confusion.
"Just call me Sasori" The red-head opened the front door.
She could feel the heat rushing up to her cheeks. They've known each other for such a short while and they're alread on first name basis...
"W-why?"
"Because what sort of wife calls her husband by their last name?" He deadpanned.
Whatever Sakura was feeling was replaced by a sense of disappointment. Wait, why was she disappointed?
They got out of the house and locked the doors.
Lucky for them, there was a supermarket nearby, so it didn't take too long for them to reach there.
Sakura was relieved, she honestly couldn't stand the heavy silence that hung around in the air during the walk.
So as soon as they reached their destination, she rushed in immediately, grabbed a basket and went to get her items.
"Hmm, let me see... I could make Udon for dinner. Oh! The carrots look nice too..." Sakura picked up the carrots and placed it in the plastic basket.
Sasori peered into the basket with a grimace, dislike clear on his face and Sakura noticed, "You don't like carrots?"
He quickly stood straight, "I don't see why you need to buy it"
"It's good for you!" Sakura retorted.
The red-head mumbled something under his breath and turned away.
She smiled to herself, she never imagined someone like Sasori would hate something like carrots, she found it cute, and let out a giggle which she didn't manage to stifle in time thus resulting in her receiving a glare.
After picking out the things she needed from that section, Sakura headed over to the aisles. Not noticing how Sasori had seemed to tense besides her.
Suddenly, while she was browsing though the content on the shelfs, arms were placed on either side of her and the pinkette spun around quickly, only to see Sasori facing her extremely closely.
"E-eh?"
"Shh..."
And Sakura couldn't do anything but stare as Sasori slowly leaned in forwards. Her mind was telling her to move, to get away, but she couldn't find the will to move.
The gap between them slowly closed, and the only thing Sakura could hear was her sped up beating heart.
Haha, is that a good enough cliff-hanger?
Sorry if this chapter was shorter than usual, but I was incredibly busy this whole week, sorry guys.
And thanks to all those who reviewed, it warms my heart 3
