Chapter Ten: The First Trip

The world is a puzzle,

and we're two pieces that fit perfectly together.

Jerk.

Jeeeerk.

JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERK.

Yeah, Sasuke-kun can be such a jerk sometimes. Well, scratch that, he's a jerk to other people like, allll the time. But to me? Nah, he's always the sweet, cheesy boyfriend of mine. But he CAN be a jerk to me sometimes. Like, when he teases me, and purposely makes me mad, and does annoying things just to get me irritated.

Yeah, he's such a pain in the ass at times.

Like, right now!

Ugh, he's being a JEEEEEEEEERK again, by keeping me out of the room while he's talking to his dad! I mean, not that I don't respect the fact he wants to talk privately, sometimes, but you know, when he does everything to make you understand you really can't come in and to KEEP AWAY at all times, that's just unfair. I would have kept away if he had just told me once he had something important to talk about with his dad.

But since he warned me soooo many times, my curiosity got the best of me.

So, I'm kinda trying to eavesdrop right now.

Which is SO not working as of yet.

…

At Sasuke's house,

the afternoon

of the last day of school

…

She was leaning against the door frame, her delicate fingers slipping through the small open crack, pushing very subtly to open the wooden entrance a little bit more. And to her extreme delight, the open space became wider, if only just a bit, but soon disappointment came as she realized it was not enough to see her lover, or hear what they were saying. Grumbling inwardly, Sakura frowned, a small scowl forming on her lips as she reached to open the door a little bit more.

"Ah, eavesdropping I see. Didn't think I'd see this coming from you, Sakura."

The sound of the deep voice startled her so much that she went to yelp, only to smartly slap her hand on her mouth as she felt it coming out. She whipped around as quietly as she could, frantically putting a finger on her lips to tell the person to shut up because she did not want to be found out. But when emerald orbs landed on the figure of Sasuke's older brother, she found herself rolling her eyes at him.

Itachi raised a single brow, parting his mouth to speak, but before any sound could even come out, Sakura launched herself at him, covering his mouth while she glared at him firmly. "Don't you even think about it! I can't get caught!" She hissed, never realizing in what awkward position she had put them both in.

Itachi, although, obviously had noticed.

You see, as she had launched herself at him, one of her legs slipped right between his, and her other rested on the outside of his thigh, while one of her hands was pressed up against his mouth, the other was comfortably placed against his chest—a touch that would never pass as an innocent one to anyone who would walk in on them. And to make it worse, Itachi's hands had shot up to her waist, holding tightly, and lingering dangerously close to her firm bottom.

It was never even Sakura's intentions to put them this way, but hey, he made her do it. And damnit was he not complaining.

It seemed like hours for the older man before she finally realized in what position she had put them in, and it seemed to surprise him that it took her so long to do so, considering how intimate and/or sexual this position was. So when her hand shot away from his mouth, and that a look of horror covered her face, Itachi couldn't help himself—he smirked. Sakura, still horrified about what she had just done, couldn't manage to glare at him as he crossed his arms on his chest and observed her.

"I knew it." He muttered, his smirk growing.

"I don't have a crush on you, if that's what you're thinking about!" Sakura spat back, forgetting for a single moment that she had to be quiet.

"That's not what I was thinking about." The older man stated, chuckling softly. The pinkette raised a brow at his words, but as soon as she caught the look in his eyes, everything seemed to click into her mind, and she blushed madly. She opened her mouth to speak, but Itachi unfortunately beat her to it.

"Well, well, well. Look who's not so innocent anymore. So when did you guys do it? A while back?"

If possible, her blush worsened. Although either of them could not speak any further, seeing as the door Sakura has been eavesdropping from moments before had opened up to reveal the younger Uchiha sighing, rubbing his neck lightly. But as he became aware of the presence of the two, his head shot up, and then he frowned.

"Sakura..? I thought I told you to wait in the living room. You weren't eavesdropping were you?" He intoned quietly, sparing his older brother a narrowed, irritated glance. But then, Sasuke suddenly became aware of the redness of Sakura's face, and he frowned even more, approaching her slowly. "Why are you so red?" He glanced at his brother again, and then glared, slipping his arms around his girlfriend protectively. "He didn't do anything to you, did he?" He whispered to her, keeping his angry eyes on Itachi.

To his delight, she shook her head, but to his confusion, the redness on her cheeks didn't disappear.

"I didn't do anything to her." Sasuke's head shot up to Itachi again, and he frowned at the sight of his cunning smirk. "…but apparently you did."

And all hell broke loose.

Love,

"Come on!"

"Where? What the—EEK! SASUKE-KUN PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOOOOWN!"

an emotion so strong that you would give up everything.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! SASUKE—"

Scream.

Silence.

To just feel it once,

"Still complaining?"

"Sasuke-kun… this…"

to know that you are part of something special.

She's baffled, stunned.

"…what is this place…?"

To know that you can feel what love really is;

He smiles.

"Your dream place."

to know, to feel,

And she smiles back, because she knows he's right.

It's her dream place.

to love.

("It's beautiful. Thank you, Sasuke-kun.")

"You really had to launch yourself at him, didn't you?" Sasuke heard his girlfriend whisper while she was softly swabbing his bloody nose. The Uchiha let out a low hiss as she accidentally pressed too hard, something that made her frown a bit, and mutter a quiet apology. He gave her a look that told her it wasn't her fault, and she smiled, kissing his forehead. "But really Sasuke, you know he wouldn't let you punch him. What made you think he wasn't going to push you back against that table, which you tripped over to ungracefully—" he glared at her, and she grinned, "—fall flat on your face?" She finished, giggling softly as he breathed out an irritated sigh.

"It's not that I thought he wouldn't push me back." He defended, grabbing the damp rag in the bowl of water beside him, not bothering to squeeze out the liquid as he brought it up to his still bleeding nose. "I just thought I'd be quick enough to hit him before he would do anything." He went on, mumbling the last part. "And that obliviously didn't work out the way you wanted it to." His girlfriend laughed, which earned her a glare, but as she leaned on his chest and put a light kiss there, his irritation was washed away, and replaced by tranquility and fondness.

And then he remembered something.

"Sakura?" He questioned against her hair, moving away his head as she hummed in response, although he was careful not to smear her rose tresses with the bloody rag in his hands. He put his clean hand in her hair, stroking tenderly. "Will you reach down my pockets for me?" He asked, his voice low and soft. He felt the girl flinch in his arms, and it was only then that he realized how wrong his question sounded. "Are you asking me to—" She started stammering, but his cheeks flushed at the thought, and he shook his head immediately. "That's not what I meant!" he blurted out quickly, barely aware of the fact his cheeks were getting redder and redder by the second.

At the sight of his blushing face, she couldn't help but giggle. "I'm sorry Sasuke, it's just the way it sounded, you know?" she cheekily apologized. He sighed, shaking his head at their perverted minds (which tended to act a lot lately). He was surprised as she indeed reach down into his pockets, making him flinch, but he smiled when he felt her hands wrap around the paper-feel object that he wanted her to fetch.

And when she finally took it out and glanced down to find out what it was, her mouth dropped open in shock.

"T-TWO TICKETS FOR A T-THREE WEEK CARRIBEAN C-CRUISE?!"

To love is to place our

h a p p i n e s s

in the happiness of

a n o t h e r .

A scream resounded through the whole Uchiha compound.

Actually, it wasn't just a scream, it was a screech. You know those kind of infinitely long and unbearably loud screeches filled with immeasurable happiness and glee? Yeah, it was a screech like that.

"Did you hear that, Fugaku?" A ebony haired woman questioned softly, her eyebrows raised, while her obsidian orbs shone with confusion.

"Someone would have to be deaf not to." Her husband muttered, sighing. "I suppose Sasuke has finally given Sakura the two tickets that he's been desperately trying to get from me." He saw the way his wife frowned and put her hands on her hips, as if disapproving his attitude. "It's not that I didn't want to give it to them." He defended, glaring sternly. "I just didn't want them to go alone." He went on, hissing the last word.

And at that, his wife laughed. "Oh, Fugaku, my dear, I feel it would not be much of a difference if you would have let them go alone or not."

Fugaku frowned, raised an eyebrow, and put the newspaper down on the table, his frown deepening. "And what could you possibly mean by that?" He questioned, not liking the sly expression on her features.

She merely smiled innocently. "Well you don't expect them to wait an eternity, do you? They've been in love with each for Kami knows how long. From the very first day they met, I am ready to bet." She grinned, slinging a wet rag over her shoulder. "Your boy has done a rather good job handling his hormones so far. Not like you," she gave him a pointed look, "who had barely waited a month. And we'd only known each other for two."

"Things were different at that time!" Fugaku argued, a rare pink flush forming on his cheeks.

"And things are different now. They're almost adults, and they're very mature for their age. I wouldn't worry about them, if I were you."

He knew he had to leave it at that, because yes, his wife did always become a little feisty when he pushed things too far.

…but that's the way he loved her.

Hold my hand and I'll take you there,

somehow,

someday,

somewhere.

A couples days later…

"Sasuke-kun?" A pinkette questioned softly, shifting in the arms of her lover to look at his face, which was merely inches away from her own. She smiled as his eyelids flapped open gracefully, deep, barely sleepy obsidian orbs looking back into her loving emerald pools. Her smile grew as he hummed quietly in response, his grip tightening on her, but as she never went on, he sighed. "What is it, Sakura?" He mumbled, shifting his bare legs more comfortably against her own. She smiled, cupping one of his cheeks with her hand, and she stroked his skin tenderly. "How long have you been planning this trip?" She asked, her voice so low he barely heard. He huffed in amusement, not expecting this question because it had been a couple days they had been on this trip, and she had plenty of opportunities to ask. So why now? Well, maybe she forgot…

"Not too long. We already had the money and all. I just had to choose where to go." He yawned lightly after his speech, pulling the girl's bare body closer to himself. "Why ask now, Sakura?" He mumbled against her skin, his eyes shutting slowly at the flowery scent of her. (Kami, she was such an addiction.)

She simply smiled, snuggling closer to him. "No reason. Just forgot, I guess."

He sighed quietly, shutting his eyes completely, but as she moved to get up, he groaned. "Sakura…" He growled under his breath, reaching to grab her waist so he could get her back in bed. "Kami, it's not even eight yet, and you're already getting up?" He grumbled, his eyes softening in relief as she let him pull her back in bed. "We're on vacations together, just you and me. Just stay with me." He whispered against her hair.

She giggled, shaking her head against his chest, the movement tickling him a bit. "But I'm so not tired anymore! And I want to go outside, because the sun is already all bright! It looks so warm, and I bet it's pretty!" She childishly retorted, pouting and trying her best to look pleading and irresistible. He looked down at her, and refrained the temptation to groan in irritation. "Don't give me that look, Sakura. I'm not getting up this early." He replied, sighing.

She huffed, but then grinned playfully. "Fine! Then I'll make you get up!" She whispered in his ear, gripping the sheets of the bed, an action that went unnoticed by the Uchiha. He was confused by her statement, for a few seconds, but as soon as she slipped off the sheets quickly and wrapped them around her nude body, Sasuke was left start naked on the bed, looking as shocked as ever. Sakura stuck her tongue out to him, laughing as she saw him growling in disapproval, and then she broke into a run outside the room, something that made him stop immediately because he would never dare walk around on the boat, chasing his girlfriend while he was wearing nothing.

And to make matters worse, he didn't know where Sakura put their clothes.

"Sakura!" He shouted after her, poking his head from the entrance of their room, finding her at the end of the hallway, grinning at him. "Come back here." He commanded, gritting his teeth when she childishly shook her head. "Come back here right this second!" He hissed, giving her one of his most intimidating glares, even though she knew he could never really be mad at her.

"I'm only coming back if you promise to get up!" She retorted, giggling relentlessly.

Sasuke sighed, and then ran a hand through his hair. "Fine." He muttered, going back to their room. But he slipped in the shadows of a corner as soon as he entered, waiting for the girl. And as she entered the room, he quickly tackled her in a tight embrace, his lips smashed against hers. "That wasn't funny, or nice, Sakura. Now you have to get punished." He whispered between a kiss, smirking at the sight of her surprised, but desiring orbs.

She laughed, then. "You're just looking for a reason to have sex with me."

"Not true." He retorted, pushing her gently on the bed. And then he stopped kissing her to stare down at her with a look she could not identify. "And it's not just sex, Sakura." He bent down, kissing her forehead tenderly. "This," He kissed her neck, afterwards. "is making love." he finished in a soft whisper, his warm coal orbs meeting her tender gaze.

You could put all the

together in the world and that still wouldn't describe

h o w m u c h

I l o v e y o u .

Kami, it felt amazing.

Feeling the sun bathing its rays on her while she was lying down on a long chair, sunglasses resting on her nose, in her adorable two piece pink bathing suit.

Yeah, it definitely felt amazing.

The pink haired woman sighed contently, reaching for her bottle of water on the small table beside her, only to be surprised as a fruity drink was placed in her hand. She smiled a little as a pair of lips pressed themselves against the top of her head, and simply couldn't help but to look up at her boyfriend, who was already looking down at her. "Thought you might want one as well." He told her, obviously talking about the fruity drink she'd been handed only a few seconds ago.

She beamed him a big smile, and brought the drink to her lips, sipping it, her eyes never leaving his. "Thank you." She replied gently, grinning at him as his lips twisted upwards to form something between a genuine smile and a smirk. And then he broke their gaze to make his way at the seat beside hers, but before he sat down, he put his hands at the hem of his shirt as a sign he was going to pull it off. Sakura blushed a bit, something that didn't go unnoticed by her boyfriend, and she was surprised as he laughed a bit. "I still don't get how you're still so shy, even after all these years." He said, amusement clear in his voice.

She pouted, glaring at his back as he threw the shirt on the ground, but the blush was still clear on her cheeks, and it even grew darker as he threw her a look over his shoulder, his eyes dark, sexy and amused, while he was smirking in his handsome, hot Uchiha way. She smacked his back with the back of her hand when he purposely stretched, trying to get her to be even more embarrassed as she would stare at his sexy body, which actually worked. "Just sit down!" She barked, her cheeks flushing darker and her eyes narrowing in a stern glare. He huffed in amusement, but sat down anyway, reaching for his drink as well.

A comfortable silence took over, in which both just enjoyed each other's company while sunbathing in the rays of sunlight, relishing the warmth of the weather and how utterly perfect it was for a cruise. Sakura felt warm skin touch her hand after a while, and she smiled, knowing it was Sasuke's hand reaching for her own. She hummed contently, letting him take her hand and intertwined their fingers. "You know, I could live like this." She murmured, reaching for her drink with her free hand. Sasuke gave her hand a light squeeze, and hummed as a sign he was listening. She smiled, squeezing his hand back, and she shut her eyes, enjoying this moment, while her big smile was still placed on her lips.

"As long as it's with me you're living like this, then I have no problem with it." She heard him speak up. Her heart skipped a few beats when the words finally registered in her mind, but she had no time to reply to his statement seeing as she felt herself being pulled up, her beloved speaking up again. "Come on, I think I hear splashing. They might be dolphins." He said, tugging gently at her hand.

She let herself be led, but she was in a daze, because his words still rang inside her head, like a broken old movie. But as soon as she felt cool metal bars touch her hand, and that she, too, heard splashing, she looked down, her eyes widening in delight when she saw that, indeed, dolphins were swimming along with the boat, jumping and seemingly racing it. She couldn't help herself, and she laughed, a huge smile grazing her lips as she leaned over a little more over the rail. "Look, Sasuke-kun! They are dolphins!" She giggled lightly as she paused, her eyes glimmering with amusement and joy. "They look like they're trying to race us!" She pointed out, laughing a bit.

But her world seemed to slow down and shut down as she felt him embrace her from behind, his head settling itself on her shoulder, his naked chest pressing against her almost bare upper body. She couldn't help herself, then, to ask him what she wanted to ask ever since she heard him speak up. "Sasuke-kun… what you said earlier…" She started, blushing lightly, her heart hammering in her chest.

He kissed the side of her neck lightly, and then nodded lightly. "I meant it, Sakura." He said softly, one of his arms unwrapping itself from her waist, only for his free hand to find her own, intertwining their fingers. "I know we're still young, but I've always felt this way." He held her tightly and lovingly against himself. "I want to marry you someday, Sakura. To spend the rest of my life with you." He murmured in her ear.

Her heart seemed to stop working, and the world stopped turning. Suddenly, she felt as though she could die of happiness, right this moment. But words left her mouth anyway, "Promise?" She nearly stammered. He smiled a rare, genuine smile for her.

"I promise."

Okay, so I admit, it wasn't a proposal… but freaking hell, he promised he would marry me someday! Not only that, but he did so while we were on a trip together! And you know what that means? That he's actually going to marry me someday!

Okay, now you're probably like 'uhhh, last time I checked, bringing your girlfriend on a cruise does not mean the man will marry her.' right?

Well the thing is, that's not what I meant.

What I meant by that, is that he keeps his promises. You remember on our first date? He promised he'd take us on a trip someday?

WELL HE KEPT THAT PROMISE.

So that means he'll keep (or try to keep) this promise!

Oh Kami, I think I need to calm down, or I'm going to have a heart attack.

BUT HOLY FREAKING SHIT—!

lol, alright I'm done with this update. :)

And yeah, you'll probably see more coming up, since it's the weekend, but I'm not sure. Might, might not. You know, it's the exams coming up and all :S

Well anyway! Please review! :D

P.s. Remember to give suggestions!
