I do not own Naruto so please don't sue me!

This is my first time participating in SasuSaku month so please be gentle when reviewing!

I will try to update as often as I can but there are no guarantees.


Day 7 – Night Out

Sasuke had his arm around Sakura as she stumbled drunkenly against him. It was a night out with their team but Sakura was overworked from her hospital shifts and the Sake hit her like a ton of bricks.

Naruto and Sai left together since they lived in the same neighborhood while Kakashi stayed behind with Tsunade for a bit to keep her company.

Sakura stood up and could barely keep herself upright which made Sasuke announce that he would take her home.

So here he was trying to get her home. Normally it's a fifteen minute walk from the bar but that time had already past and they weren't even halfway.

She blinked slightly and pointed in front of her. "Oh! It's here!"

Before Sasuke had a chance to react she stumbled to the bench where he had left her those years ago. The memory came rushing back to Sasuke and he felt the grief wash over him.

"You left me here that night." She said glaring at him slightly but due to her state it was almost comical.

"Hn."

"I hated you for doing that but I couldn't stay mad at you." Sakura pointed at him and nearly tripped over her own feet but caught herself, plopping onto the bench.

"I apologized Sakura and for trying to kill you. Why do you bring this up again?" He replied turning to look at her only to see Sakura passed out, laying across it.

"...Annoying." He breathed, smirking slightly before leaning down towards the bench and hoisting her onto his back.

Sasuke carried her towards her house and approached the front door. He pulled her key out of his pants pocket that he took from hers when she passed out. Opening the door, he took off his shoes followed by hers, and walked in the direction of her room.

Sakura was placed gently down onto her bed by him and he turned around to leave when her voice stopped him.

" Stay Sasuke-kun. Don't go."

His eyebrow rose. "You want me to stay here in your room?"

"Yes. Until I fall asleep."

He sighed. "You are really drunk tonight."

"No I'm sober."

He scoffed and sat down on the bed looking down at her. She pulled at his shirt and he leaned down not wanting it to get ripped like last time. Sakura had nearly fallen over at another bar months ago and the first thing she grabbed on was his shirt. They had never stepped inside there since that incident due to embarrassment.

"Lay down Sasuke-kun. You can spend the night here."

Surprised at her words, he hesitantly obliged due to not wanting to irritate her. An angry and drunk Sakura is a frightening Sakura. A crying and drunk Sakura was even worse.

She snuggled up to him and sighed contently. It took no time for her to fall asleep again this time in his arms.

"This is one hell of a night out." Sasuke muttered before brushing her hair out of her eyes. Not long after, he fell asleep. He got the best sleep in months and all he needed to do was sleep with Sakura next to him.
