Fresh air, a cool breeze and the magical song of the birds. The countryside is certainly the perfect place for a man like him to feel relaxed. Renting that cottage in the middle of the woods where no one could bother him and he could be intimately connected to the nature, had definitely been a good idea in order to find inspiration for his novel. He needed to focus and he needed distance from the civilization and from his cellphone. And in that place isolated from the world, Uchiha Sasuke found everything he was looking for.
Thanks to that airbnb app his brother recommended him, the raven haired writer found himself a paradise hidden from the gods. A paradise with two bedrooms, one bathroom, one small kitchen and a living room with a beautiful view to the mountains. There was a phone there for emergencies, and the traditional Japanese style in which the cottage was decorated made the entire experience more comfortable for his mind to go back in time.
Yes, his weekend was going to be perfect. Except for one, small, pink problem.
As he entered the cottage holding his bags on his hands, his valuable silence was destroyed by the sudden sound of steps coming from the second floor. They were rushing down the stairs, and it didn't take long before his dark eyes met her emerald ones. Standing in front of him, a girl with short, pink hair and pale skin seemed as surprised with his presence as he was with hers. He could see how her stunning, green eyes scanned him from head to toe, and she didn't mind to see him doing exactly the same.
Wow… What a beautiful girl, he thought.
The tenderness in her eyes made him feel a little less embarrassed, and after some moments of staring, the Uchiha started to think about the girl behind those emerald eyes. Why was she even there? The announcement said the cottage would be empty for the weekend, and it was not like he didn't like her or anything, but he truly needed to be alone for the weekend. The owner of the cottage had guaranteed him maximum privacy and comfort.
Was she a part of that?
He wasn't sure, but after leaving some weird thoughts aside, Sasuke managed to find a role for her to play in his weekend.
Of course… That could only be it.
Barely he knew…
" Excuse me, sir… May I help you?" Her sweet voice brought him back from his thoughts and his attention was all set on her eyes. Her hand was still delicately resting over the wooden rail, and even if she was standing on the second step, it was clear that she was at least a head shorter than him. She seemed to be a kind and polite woman, and after listening to her words, the idea he had in his mind regarding her identity became even more concrete.
" I… Actually, I'll be here for the weekend. My name is Uchiha Sasuke, and you don't have to worry about me."
"Oh… I see. I'll be here for the weekend too. I'm Haruno Sakura and I- uh- If you need anything, you can call me, I guess."
" Ah, don't worry. I will just do what I have to do… If I need something, I'll call you. Do you have a phone number or something just in case I need to contact you?"
" Phone number? There is no signal here, but if you want to contact me, I'll be right here."
" Here?" His eyebrows arched in surprise, for he didn't see a single house around on the way. Perhaps, he thought, it was also hidden in the woods. " Do you live nearby or something? I didn't see any houses on my way here."
" What? I don't live here, actually…"
" Then does it mean you come from the town every day to work? If that's the case, you don't need to come. I can make the bed and wash the dishes by myself. You can take the weekend off, it's okay."
As her expression changed from shy to confused, the Uchiha started to become a little concerned about her. Did she not understand what he said? Was she that happy not to have to work? As a maid, he thought, the pinkette should be happy to have a couple of days to sleep in or do whatever she wanted with her free time.
But who said anything about working on the weekend?
" Sasuke-san… I don't really think you're understanding what's happening here."
" Eh? Really? Aren't you the maid?"
" Maid? No, I'm a doctor, actually… I've rented the cottage for the weekend. Aren't you the cottier or something like that?"
" What? You've rented the cottage?" His voice came out louder than he had expected, and that sudden change of tone made the girl flinch. What on earth could be happening to him?
Her eyes were looking at him with a worried expression as he tried to cope with what she was telling him. She couldn't be saying the truth, right? He was the one who had rented the cottage, and he didn't remember anything about sharing it with a beautiful stranger like her. He knew he hadn't made a mistake neither with the date nor the location, for he double checked everything before leaving his house earlier that day.
Uchiha Sasuke had not made a mistake.
That girl was probably the one to be blamed for that mess.
" Sasuke-san… Are you okay? Do you need any help or something?"
" I don't need help! I need privacy and silence! That's why I rented this cottage!"
" What? That's impossible! I was the one who rented it."
" Definitely not. I rented it through Airbnb a month ago."
" You must be mistaken, Sasuke-san. I called Naruto myself last week and he told me no one would be using the cottage this weekend."
" Naruto? The owner? You have to be kidding me."
" Uh? What's the problem with that?" She lifted one eyebrow, feeling a little irritated at that moment.
" That guy seemed to be an idiot when I talked to him. He probably just wanted more money, without caring about the rest."
" Hey! He's not an idiot! He's my friend and I'm not paying anything for this! I'm sure he just made a mistake."
" What!? You have got to be kidding me!"
" Look, Sasuke-san, being stressed right now won't solve a thing. So stop acting like a teenage girl, will you?"
At the sound of her words, the Uchiha could feel his anger boiling inside his veins.
Who was she calling a teenage girl!?
Even if he agreed with her about the fact that his temper wouldn't solve their problem, Sasuke couldn't help but feel annoyed by the whole situation. Apart from the fact that his privacy was being threatened, knowing he was the only one who had paid for the cottage was making him feel incredibly mad. So just because her friend owned the cottage, it meant he could let her spend the weekend for free? That was certainly not right, but he understood that there was nothing he could do to change that.
Complaining about the money he spent for that cottage wouldn't make her leave. However, he could use the old, fashion way to get himself rid of that pink haired girl.
Letting out a defeated sight, the Uchiha ran his fingers across his dark locks before reaching out for his pocket to grab his wallet. He opened it, and as he picked up some bills, his eyes missed the growing indignation in her face.
He could not be seriously thinking about that.
" Look, pinky-"
" My name is Sakura."
" Tch… Look, Sakura. How much do you want to leave the cottage for the weekend?"
" Excuse me!?"
" Don't play dumb! What's your price?"
" You can't buy me out of here, you jerk! Why don't you get your money and go back to where you came from?!"
" You're not making things any easier."
" I don't want to make them easier. I want you to get out of here. I need this weekend for myself."
" What a coincidence, so do I! It was your friend who made the mistake, and I want you out because I've paid for it."
" I'm not going anywhere. This is not my problem."
" You…"
" I'm not afraid of you."
Their glaring battle was almost creating sparkles around, and the chances of setting the entire cottage on fire were really high. He wanted her out and if he had asked her politely, Sakura could have even considered the idea. However, after he tried to bribe her, the instincts of the independent woman she is kicked in and her short temper burned out in anger. Her cheeks were puffed in irritation, and even if he thought she was incredibly cute like that, Sasuke didn't surrender to his inner feelings.
He was going to win.
He was going to make her leave.
Or that was what he thought before all that pose collapsed in front of that girl with pink hair.
"Tch, you're annoying." He closed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. A victorious smirk was playing on her lips, as her body was filled with pride.
So she had finally won, right?
So she had finally convinced him that she wasn't going anywhere, right?
Right.
But who said he would be going anywhere?
As the girl foolishly nodded to herself in pure contentment, she failed to notice what the raven haired boy was doing in front of her. He had picked up his own bags from the floor, and was now heading towards one of the two rooms of the cottage. For he had seen her coming from upstairs, the Uchiha concluded she had already settled on that one, so, using his natural sense of direction, Sasuke went after the room where he would be spending the following nights. Even if he had planned on spending his weekend alone, and even if her company wouldn't be anything but annoying, he has decided that he won't go back home. He had payed for his staying, and there was just no way he would let that girl send him home.
It was not like spending the weekend with a beautiful girl in the middle of nowhere would be a bad thing, right?
" W-What are you doing? Weren't you going back home?" She looked at him, not believing in her own eyes.
" Hn, I've never said I would be going home, Sakura." He said, with his back turned to her.
" Then… Does it mean-"
" Let's try to spend a nice weekend together, okay, partner?" He turned, sending her that one, cocky expression of his drove her insane.
The smirk on his face made her jaw drop in surprise. All of her sentences disappeared from her mind as she watched him walking towards the other room of the cottage.
That man…
No matter how much she wanted to hate him at that moment, those deep, dark eyes of his were just too hypnotizing for her to think of anything other than how stunning they are. They were too damn beautiful and even if she wanted to punch him out of that cottage, Sakura knew by that smirk that he wouldn't be going anywhere until the weekend ended. She would be spending two nights with the hottest stranger she has ever met, and the place where they would be staying was far from the whole world.
No one would hear her screams.
Now it just depended on him whether they would be of either fear or contentment.
That weekend promised to be unforgettable.
Unlike what the Uchiha had imagined, his first night sharing the loneliness of the woods with the pinkette ended up quite well. She hadn't tried to kill him during the night, and apparently, none of his things had been stolen.
Their first night had been a success, indeed.
And if not for that irritating noise coming from another room of that cottage, his bedtime would have been a little longer.
What could that girl be up to?
It was only after his sleep drifted away completely that Sasuke decided to get up and go check the source of that annoyance with his own eyes. When arrived at the living room, his sleepy eyes were surprised to see the pink haired girl carefully making a line with a yellow tape. His eyes just couldn't believe what they were seeing, and more than once he felt like laughing at such childish idea of hers.
Separating the cottage, really?
As he leaned against the wooden wall, with his arms crossed over his chest and a smug smirk playing on his lips, Sasuke watched as she was completely focused on her job. She was wearing a red shirt that had a white circle stamped on its back, and black training shorts that covered her legs almost two palms above her knees. Thanks to her sneakers, he could conclude she was about to go out hiking. And thanks to that amount of skin exposed, the writer couldn't help but blush embarrassedly.
That idiot… Didn't she know there was a stranger in the house with her?
That silky, rosy skin of hers seemed to be so perfect and pure that suddenly he started to see her as one of the muses that inspired the old, romantic romances. A beauty so luring and immaculate that he could spend paragraphs and paragraphs just describing it. He felt his heart beating faster and his hands started to tremble just at the thought of turning her into a character for his novel.
Perhaps that wouldn't be a bad idea…
If he could just observe her for a little longer without being noticed…
Too bad her emerald eyes had already detected his presence.
" Like what you're seeing, Sasuke-san?" She smirked, standing up and placing her right hand on her hip. Her short hair was tied up in a messy pony tail, with most of the pink locks already falling some inches above her shoulders.
" Hn." He looked away, uselessly trying to hide his blushing cheeks from her. A character based on her would definitely be annoying. " Not as much as you are with your tape."
" You might make fun of it, but be sure this will make our staying a lot more comfortable for both of us."
"Oh, really? How so?"
" Simple. This is my side." She said, stepping on one side of the living room. " And the other one is yours. For the bathroom, we will have to take turns. And for the kitchen, well, I'm a nice person, so you can have the kitchen for yourself."
" Wow, you really are a nice person. Do you know how you could be even nicer?"
" How?"
" If you get out of here and go home."
If not for her current good mood, the smirk on his face would have earned him a hit with the roll of tape.
" Really funny. You should be a comedian. Who knows…?"
" Hn."
" Just stay on your side and we won't have problems, Sasuke-san."
After their teasing session ended, he slowly went to his kitchen, while the girl finished her marking. He prepared himself a mug of coffee, and from the corner of his eyes, he kept watching as she smiled at her finished job.
That smile of hers…
Even if that was probably not the brightest smile she could give him, Sasuke felt his heart skipping a beat at that glimpse of happiness. It was so true and so innocent… It was nothing like the smiles he sees on the faces around him, and it was definitely not like the smiles of any girl who ever played a part in his life.
That smile on those rosy lips was just… Wow.
It matched perfectly those stunning, emerald eyes of hers.
Where the hell did that girl come from?
He certainly didn't know, but for the first time since he met her, Sakura was about to leave.
And he was about to have his so desired peace.
Before he could even notice, the front door was opened and the girl was lazily stretching out in front of the house. The soft breeze was playing with her short locks, and when she started to walk away, the Uchiha couldn't hold back his own impulses.
" Going somewhere?" He said, standing up with his coffee mug, and leaning against the door frame of the kitchen.
" Uh?" She turned to face him, with a surprised face. Apparently, she wasn't expecting that kind of question from him at all. " What did you say?"
" Hn, I asked if you are going anywhere… Are you?"
" This in not your concern." She smirked, putting her tongue out in a playful way. That girl is really a child.
" Tch. I just wanted to know if I would get myself rid of you."
" … Who knows…? Would you like it if I didn't come back?"
" It would be a wonderful thing."
" Uhm… Okay."
At that moment, just before she ran out through the door, the Uchiha managed to see a fake smile crossing her lips. That smile, even if he didn't know basically anything about that girl, was full of pain, and saying it didn't make him worried would be a lie.
What could have possibly made her that sad?
Sasuke certainly didn't know, and in order to prioritize his own objective, the writer decided to ignore it and enjoy the time he would have without her. Those silent hours would definitely help him concentrate on his novel, and his weekend would, at last, be productive.
Without that pink haired annoyance, the nature would finally bring him the inspiration he was looking for. Without her voice, her chuckles, her smiles and her stunning eyes, Sasuke would spend the next hours trapped in the loneliness he had paid for.
He was about to enjoy the loneliness he had wished for.
However, unlike he had imagined, the emptiness of the woods was even worse than the girl with pink hair. At least, when she was there, he could feel something growing inside of him every time he looked at those vibrant emeralds of hers.
More than three hours went by and all he did was imagine how life would be if he didn't have an arm. He thought that it would be hard to cook alone, and cutting tomatoes would be practically impossible due to the fruit's slipping peel.
In order to eat his favorite fruit, the armless Sasuke would need help.
And in order to write something, he would need her.
But what if she was the one who needed him at that time?
It was only after another hour that his pretending game was suddenly interrupted by the sound of the telephone. For he knew cellphones didn't work there, the Uchiha could only conclude that the ring was coming from the emergency phone that was on her side of the living room.
Who could it be?
At first, Sasuke had decided to just ignore it and go back to his armless adventures, but when the person on the other side of the line just kept trying again and again, the writer got angry enough to stand up and cross the imaginary boundary that separated the cottage. The girl, he thought, would be really mad at him for trespassing, but it was not like she was there to do anything, right?
With a cocky smirk on his lips, the Uchiha answered the phone call.
And he could have never imagined who was the one on the other side of the line.
" Hello?"
" Ah! Thank god! Who is it-ttebayo?"
" Eh… This is Sasuke. I'm renting the place for the weekend, so if you're trying to sell anything, I suggest you to call the owner another time."
" What? Selling? That's not it! This is Naruto talking-ttebayo! I'm the one from whom you've rented the cottage!"
" What!? You are the idiot who rented the same cottage for two people! I should report you for what you've done! Just because that girl is your friend, it doesn't mea-"
" Girl!? Are you talking about Sakura-chan!? Is she there with you?"
The sudden change in the tone of his voice made the Uchiha worried for a second. It was true that he had already started that conversation with a certain rush in his voice, but the writer figured that it was his normal way of speaking. However, when the pinkette was added to the conversation, Naruto seemed to have exploded in concern.
What on earth was happening with those two weirdos?
"Oi, Sasuke! Is Sakura-chan there with you?"
" Uh… Yea… She is here… But that's not the point. She shouldn't-"
" Oh! Thank god! I was worried sick about her! She called me crying last week and told me that she needed the cottage. I freaked out and told her she could go-ttebayo. I'm incredibly sorry for this, Sasuke. I will definitely refund you, don't worry."
The image of tears running down her face suddenly made him think abut that fake smile she gave him earlier. His heart skipped a beat in concern, and something inside was telling him to discover more about the hidden story of the girl with whom he was sharing the cottage.
Was she running away from something?
Why did she come to that place?
Why was she crying?
All those questions were making his hands sweat, and saying he was simply worried would be a lie. There was definitely something wrong with that girl. And for her sake, he knew he had to find out.
"Naruto!" He called out the owner's attention, making the owner stop his babbling about ramen. The owner was surprised with that scream, and waited for the Uchiha to continue. " Why… Why was she crying?"
" Eh? Why do you want to know?"
" Becaus-"
"Uhh! You fell in love with Sakura-chan!"
" That's not it, you idiot. It's just that-"
"Of course it is!" He laughed. " I can't believe my mistake was able to bring two people together-ttebayo!"
" Listen, Naruto-"
" I can't wait to tell Kakashi-"
" Naruto! Shut up!"
"…"
" Hn. I'm just… Curious about her. So, will you tell me why she was crying?"
" I don't think I should… I mean, it's not like it was a secret, but…"
That idiot was really annoying. As annoying as that friend of his, but that wouldn't make the Uchiha give up, for sure. He still had one, last, hidden trick.
" Tch, If you tell me what happened, you can keep the money."
The silence remained on the other side of the line and Sasuke knew that it would be just a matter of time before that loud blonde gave in.

" Well, you see…" So predictable… " Sakura-chan is a doctor, and last week she lost a patient. Even if that was not the first time, she got really depressed because of this one."
" Hn, so she came here to run away from it all?"
" Uhmm… Actually, I thought that at first, but… I don't know… She was really bad this time and I know what happens when she gets depressed."
" And what would it be?"
" Ah, man… You know… She stops eating, and starts making sad faces… Once she disappeared for two days and we were all worried she could have… you know…"
" You know what? What could she have done?"
" Well… We thought she could have killed herself-ttebayo."
The sound of those words that close to his ear made shivers run down his spine. His heart was beating faster in fear, and his hands started to shake.
How could he not notice that?
How could he ignore that fake smile and the whole kitchen thing?
It was clear that Sakura was hurt and that she had stopped eating. It was clear that she was depressed, and now, to make matters worse, she had disappeared somewhere in the woods, trying who knows what to threaten her own life. Sasuke had let her walk away from the cottage, and he even told her he wanted her to never return. He was the one to be blamed if something happened to that girl, and at that moment, he just knew he had to find her.
He had to save her from herself.
And without hesitating, the Uchiha hung up the phone and ran outside the cottage in order to chase her. The girl could be anywhere, he knew. And chances were that he wouldn't even find her in time.
But he couldn't give up without trying.
He couldn't let those stunning eyes disappear from the world.
The sound of the running water was just music to her ears. The chirp of the birds, the soft breeze against her skin and the cold stone where she was sitting on was just making everything perfect. As she closed her eyes and took long, deep breaths, Haruno Sakura knew she was in heaven.
No, heaven was not the place where she was.
Heaven was eternal, and soon, she knew, it would all be over.
Soon, everything would disappear.
As the vivid green of her eyes mixed with the color of the trees, the Haruno girl watched the sun's position. Apparently, another hour had gone by without her noticing, and thanks to the rhythm of the nature, the changes within that hour were barely perceptible in her eyes. The world around her was made of little changes that one day will be responsible for seasons. They will bring rain, make the leaves fall, cover the floor in a white blanket and make the flowers flourish, bringing the magic of the spring.
Yes, nature is just the perfection no man can ever surpass.
And at that moment, her free spirit was telling her that it was time for her body to join that eternal circle of life.
Slowly, the girl stood up and started to undress herself. She took off her red shirt, her shorts and her snickers, folding each piece and placing them next to her backpack. Only in her underwear, the girl with pink hair softly entered the river, feeling the cold water enveloping her feet, going up her legs, caressing the curves of her waist, brushing her chest, until she could take one, deep breath before diving in those peaceful waters.
At that moment, she felt like flying.
As her hair danced in the flow of the river, her body seemed to be light and all of her worries disappeared from her shoulders. Her cheeks were cold just like the stone where she was sitting on before, and as she closed her eyes, time seemed to stop. The world was unchangeable and life meant nothing. She was one with the river, and when she opened her eyes to that underwater world, the dim light of the sun that managed to invade through the tree tops; reflected in her own emeralds creating the most beautiful of the pictures that no camera could ever register.
Life is a picture that can't be taken, for it doesn't wait for the lens to focus.
Life waits for no one.
And love… Oh, love is the only thing that can destroy the serenity created by nature itself.
It can sweep you of your feet and destroy the peace in your heart.
'Sakura'
It calls your name, luring you to a pleasurable disaster.
'Sakura!'
It's annoying, and even if you don't want to answer to its call, it simply breaks in, not needing an invitation.
Love is annoying.
And it was about to break her silence.
" Sakura!"
When her ears identified his voice, it was already too late for her to make any move. She felt warm hands wrapping around her body, and before she could even open her eyes, a sudden strength brought her up to the surface. It took her some time to understand what was happening, but when she saw those dark eyes of his that close to her soaked face, Sakura couldn't help but get her cheeks red. Now she still needed to know if that redness was due to the fact that she was being held bridal style only in her underwear, or due to the fact he had just destroyed her moment of peace.
Either way, the Uchiha would pay.
" What the hell are you doing here, you freak!?"
" I'm here to stop you from making a mistake, Sakura!"
"Mistake? What are you talking about!?"
" Look, I know you may be depressed or something, but this is not how you fix things. You can't just drown them away!"
" Sasuke-san, What on earth is wrong with you!?"
" With me!? I'm saving your life, you idiot!"
" Saving my life? From what?"
" From you! I won't let you kill yourself, Sakura!"
Her green eyes widened immediately as she kept staring at those dark pearls of his. She could see how worried they were, and seeing herself reflected in them made her heart skip a beat. She could feel his hands shaking under her body, and his heart was punching his ribcage with full strength.
He was definitely worried about her.
Silly boy…
At the same time her chest felt its temperature get higher, the girl could feel an innocent laughter building up inside her heart. Even if he was clearly worried about her, Sakura couldn't help but find the whole situation hilarious.
Did he really think she was going to kill herself?
After trying hard not to laugh, the pinkette gave in to her natural reaction. As she was laughing hard in his arms, the Uchiha's expression slowly changed from concerned to confused. He didn't know how a person was supposed to react after being saved from a suicide, but he was almost sure laughing was not it.
What on earth was wrong with that girl?
Shouldn't she be crying or thanking him?
He certainly didn't know.
But as she was slowly soaking his clothes, Sasuke couldn't stop thinking of how cute she was at that moment.
What an annoying girl.
" Why are you laughing?"
" Because I'm not a suicidal, you idiot!"
" What? But aren't you depressed because you've lost a patient?"
" Lost a patient? That's ridiculous! Who told you this?"
" Your friend, Naruto. He called asking about you and told me that you were crying."
" Tch, he really is an idiot…"
" Hn. I'm sure he just made a mistake."
She sighed. So it was all that idiot's fault.
" You see… I was crying but not because I lost a patient, but because my boss drives me insane."
"Uh?"
" Last week… There was a kid in a serious condition at the hospital. I saved him, but in order to do so, I had to disobey some of the hospital rules… He got super mad at me and told me to chill out for the weekend… That bastard. I should have punched him straight in the face- Shannarou!"
Watching as the girl in his arms cursed her own boss made all those feelings ins his chest disappear. His mind went blank and suddenly he didn't know what else to think.
So she was not trying to kill herself?
So she was just irritated because of her boss?
So she was just trying to relax?!
Anger started to boil inside his veins and he really couldn't believe he had acted like a fool in front of her. He couldn't believe she had made him worry that much. That annoying girl had made him rush to the middle of the forest and rescue her from absolutely no danger.
Damn, he was pissed. So pissed that he could write down pages and pages describing his anger.
Yes, he was definitely going to write those feelings down.
And that was when he finally realized.
That whole adventure, the fake suicide, those feelings and her eyes had definitely inspired him to write his novel. Sasuke knew exactly what he wanted to write, and he was ready to bleed his emotions into words. His novel was going to be a success, he could feel it. And it was all thanks to that girl.
Inspiration had never been that pink and annoying before.
" So that's how I ended up stuck in the middle of nowhere with you, Sasuke-san." She chuckled, looking up to see his eyes.
" Sakura… You're amazing."
" I know I- Wha-"
In a glimpse of insanity, the Uchiha leaned down to kiss her straight on the lips, leaving the pinkette completely speechless. Her cheeks were red as tomatoes, and as she watched the raven haired man above her, her heart started to beat faster in excitement. There was a tender smile playing on his lips, and such smile made her stomach flip.
What a beautiful smile from a beautiful guy.
And what a romantic way to be kissed, she thought. Being carried bridal style by his strong arms felt as good as described in fairy tales.
She could feel herself slowly falling in love.
But none of the stories she's read ever described how it really felt to fall in love.
"I have to go."
" I like yo- Whahhhh!"
Before she had the chance to think straight, Sakura was already falling back into the water. The Uchiha gentleman, taken over by his writing anxiety, literally dropped the girl from his arms, making her fall back to the river. The water made her hair fall over her face again, and as she stood there with her butt on the cold water, anger was boiling inside her veins.
Who did he think he was to drop her like that?
Her eyes were immediately set on fire, and the only thing she managed to grab before running after him was her shirt. She put it on, and after getting rid of the hair that was blinding her eyes, the pinkette ran as fast as she could after that writer.
She was definitely going to kill him for doing that.
How could he kiss her and simply run away like that?
How dared he ignore her feelings?
How could he not care about her butt's safety?
Sakura certainly didn't know.
But as soon as she got her hands on him, she was going to make him talk.
The chasing took some good minutes until they ended up back at the cottage. When she arrived there, still wet and breathing heavily, she watched as the Uchiha was desperately waiting for his computer to turn on. His hands were shaking, his eyes were set on the screen, and she could clearly see he was nervous.
What a weird man he was.
Still, she wouldn't let him escape. Not again.
" What the hell was that on the river?"
" Uh? What are you talking about?"
" The kiss, you jerk! Why did you kiss me?"
Slowly, she realized his cheeks were getting redder as if he was slowly realizing what he had done. She watched as he swallowed dry, and when his hands went to scratch the back of his neck, Sakura already knew exactly what had happened some moments ago. While he was still confused, the medic had no doubt he had finally let his emotions take over his body, and judging by his reaction, she could bet that was the first time such thing had happened to him.
What a cute, silly man, she thought.
" I-I… I didn't mean to… I'm sorry, I…"
As a smirk crossed her face, the girl couldn't help but want to see more of that truthful expression of his. Slowly, she started to walk towards him, and due to how determined her eyes were looking at him, Sasuke could easily tell she was up to no good.
And he wasn't sure if he had time for that at the moment.
" S-Sakura… What are you doing?"
" You kissed me for a reason, Sasuke-san… And I want to know it."
" R-Reason? It was just an accident, I-"
" That was definitely not an accident."
" I-I… You can't cross my side of the cottage, Sakura."
" Oh, this imaginary barrier won't save you from me, Sasuke-san."
When his excuses ended and when the girl was already standing too close, Sasuke decided that it was time for him to let that strange feeling inside of him take over his senses. With those emerald eyes so close to him and those lips so inviting, the Uchiha knew he wouldn't be able to hold back anymore.
The muse he had been looking for was standing right in front of him, and there was something telling him that she would give him more than just inspiration.
She would give him a whole new adventure, from which he did not want to escape.
And as soon as he pulled her closer in a kiss, he knew she would make him live it by her side.
Her soaked clothes were strongly pressed against his, as their tongues were battling for dominance. Her fingers were lost in the middle of his dark locks, and she could feel his warm hands on her hips. Their kiss was intense, and like nature itself, it was pure and perfect.
Their kiss was trapped in time.
And words would never be enough to describe how happy he was to be sharing the loneliness with that pink haired girl.
