Chapter Eleven: Bed Buddies

SAKURA'S P.O.V.

I groaned as I was pulled out of my slumber. I tried to shield my ears with my pillow, but it failed to drown out the ringing.

Whoever invented alarm clocks was an idiot.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

"Ugh!"

My fist slammed against the annoying device to turn it off. It read eight in the morning. Peaceful silence filled the room once again. I smiled and tried to return to sleep, but something felt strange. Slowly, I pried an eye open. Then both eyes shot open in surprise. I quickly pushed aside the covers and bolted upright.

I was no longer in my room at Hinata's beach house.

A gasp escaped me when I realized I was no longer wearing Sasuke's blue shirt, but another t-shirt that oddly smelled like him. Not that I memorize what his colonge smells like…

'What's going on? Where am I? Where's Sasuke?'

Fear gripped my chest as utter confusion set in.

I ran a hand through my pink tresses in distress. My eyes grew wider as I realized yet another strange thing. Even more panic filled me.

'Why is my hair long?!'

I always kept my hair short; it was always cut a couple inches above my shoulders. Now, my pink hair flowed down past my waist!

The sheets tangled around my legs and I tripped as I flew off the bed. Confused and freaked out, I decided to wander around to figure out where I was.

I took in my new surroundings. The bed I had gotten out of was huge and plush. The marble tiles were cool beneath my feet. My jaw dropped as I examined the lavish furnishing. My eyes flew up to gaze at the chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

After spinning in circles, I noticed a portrait of a little boy hung above the fire place. My eyes squinted as I looked at it more closely. The little, raven haired boy in the picture had a bright smile on his face and a sparkle in his green eyes. He looked awfully like Sasuke.

I read the small, golden plaque at the bottom of the picture. It was titled 'Uchiha Seiji.'

'Who's Seiji? Sasuke's younger brother? No, Sasuke was the youngest in his family... Perhaps this is his nephew I helped him babysit last year?'

A large door entered the view of my peripheral vision. Finally. An exit to this freak show.

Hesitantly, I approached the bedroom door, pushed one side open, and walked out. Part of me hoped it would lead to a familiar area. Instead, it led out to a grand hallway. The ceiling towered high above my head. One side of the large hallway was lined with portraits and vases of flowers. The other side was lined with large glass windows, showing the exquisite view of a forest down below.

I had no time to admire the scenery. My freak out level was reaching new heights.

'Was I kidnapped? What if I'm being held hostage! Did I sleep walk and end up in someone's house? Where am I?'

"Mommy!"

'MOMMY?!'

I nearly tripped again as I swiveled towards the cheerful voice. My eyes widened. It was the little boy from the portrait!

He giggled as he pumped his toddler legs as fast as he could. He wore He wore (refer to large rant about tenses) footy pajamas with the Uchiha crest printed all over it. As he came closer, I guessed he was approximately three years old or so.

'He looks like a photocopy of Sasuke.'

As soon as he reached me, the little boy wrapped his pudgy arms around my legs. I didn't know whether to scream in terror or squeal at how utterly adorable he looked.

"Ohayo gozaimasu, okaa-san!" he greeted in his cute, high-pitched voice. The young boy let go of my legs and bowed slightly before straightening. "Where's otou-san?"

"I-I don't know," I stammered, breaking out in a nervous sweat as my heart beat a thousand miles per hour. The little boy did not seem to find anything amiss and continued to smile up at me.

'This boy is my son!? I have a son? Why did no one tell me!? My parents are going to kill me!'

Suddenly, two arms shot out from behind me and wrapped themselves around my waist. I yelped as I was yanked backwards into someone's broad chest. My heart hammered wildly in my chest, thinking it was my kidnapper.

I looked down to examine the arms that were trapping me. The person that was holding me was wearing a wedding ring...

...and so was I.

My jaw dropped as the urge to faint hit me. I was too disoriented to try to escape from the person's hold. My head was spinning like crazy.

'I'M MARRIED!'

"Seiji, the maid has already prepared your breakfast. Go and eat before it gets cold," a very familiar voice ordered.

I froze. I knew exactly who that voice belonged to.

I turned around to see none other than...

Uchiha Sasuke.

-0-0-0-0-0-

"AAAAHHHH!"

My eyes shot wide open, my lips still parted from screaming. Perspiration coated my large forehead and neck. I groaned, clutching my aching head.

It was all a dream? It seemed so real! I couldn't believe I just had a dream about being married to Sasuke and having his kid! I guess all my fantasizing about being with him had gotten to my head.

I sighed and relaxed into my current position: on my stomach with my head facing the window. It was still dark outside, so I decided it would be best to sleep and try to forget about the dream. Depression hit me whenever I recalled the dream. It was like my subconscious was torturing me with what I'll never have—that I'd only be with him in my dream.

I sighed tiredly and closed my eyes again. I snuggled deeper into my breathing pillo—

'Wait... Breathing?'

I slowly and hesitantly turned my head to see what I was sleeping on. The sight before me caused my eyes to bulge out of their sockets. I choked on my spit. My hand quickly clasped over my mouth to prevent the loud scream threatening to erupt from my throat.

I was sleeping on top of Sasuke!

My gaze lowered to his bare chest. I blushed a bright red.

Correction: I was sleeping on top of a shirtless Sasuke!

Our legs were intertwined, and his arms were slung securely around my waist crossing over my lower back.

'Please say this is another dream… Please say this is another dream…"

I stopped my mental freak out when I caught sight of his face. My eyes softened and my lips curved into a tiny smile. He was so cute when he was sleeping.

A chuckle escaped me when I imagined how Sasuke would react to being called "cute."

Sasuke's eyes were closed shut, hiding his piercing onyx gems. I could feel his chest steadily rising and falling under my body. He looked so adorable with his raven locks tousled. His stoic "bad boy, I don't give a damn" facade was completely gone and replaced by an angelic-childlike appearance. His guard was completely down.

I think I just fell for him even harder.

My fingertips ran against the flawless, pale skin of his cheek. I was shocked at how smooth his skin felt.

Depression hit me once again. The reality of the situation was that Sasuke would never hold me like this if he was awake. I'd always be the social outcast and he'd always be that boy who would never look in my direction.

I retracted my hand, feeling heartsick. I wanted to distance myself from him, physically and emotionally.

Sleeping Sasuke obvious had other ideas, because when I tried to push myself off of him, he didn't let go. Sasuke was seriously strong! This was ridiculous! He wouldn't let go! Unable to break free, I fell back onto his bare chest, defeated.

Sasuke spends years successfully pushing me away from him and the one time I try to push him away, he won't budge. I smiled grimly at the irony of the situation.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when Sasuke muttered something in his sleep and turned on his side, bringing me with him. I squealed. He pulled me closer and turned his head a bit so that he was nuzzling my neck. His jet black bangs tickled me.

'Aaahhhh! This is so embarrassing! What if he wakes up and sees us like this? Sasuke, please let go of me!'

My heart thundered in my chest. I was pretty sure I was about to have a panic attack. I started to flail in his grip, pushing and squirming with all my might. But it was useless. He just wouldn't let go!

'Damn, he's a heavy sleeper...'

My hands laid flat against Sasuke's shoulders as I pushed yet again, trying to break free.

"No," Sasuke whined like a child against my neck in his sleep. He scowled deeply and tightened his vice grip on my waist.

I paused. 'Sasuke whines? Since when?'

For the umpteenth time that night, I was pulled into another state of shock when Sasuke twisted his body and rolled on top of me. Now I laid helpless underneath him, my arms pressed into his bare chest.

No, correction: A shirtless Sasuke was on top of me!

My blush seemed to be permanently etched into my cheeks. Though I didn't know whether I was turning red from embarrassment or lack of oxygen. It was extremely hard to breathe with Sasuke crushing my body with his weight. He was heavy! He seriously weighed a lot more than he looks.

Shifting into a more comfortable position where I didn't feel crushed, I sighed tiredly. This was ridiculous and emotionally draining. I scowled deeply, annoyed. Part of me wanted to savor his closeness, but a larger part of me was annoyed. I was tempted to smack him much like how I hit Naturo when he got on my nerves.

I knew trying to escape was completely useless. Sasuke was way too heavy and his grip was too tight.

'Oh well, at least he didn't wake up. That would've been really awkward.'

I closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep. The sound of Sasuke's steady breathing was my lullaby.

TENTEN'S P.O.V. (Saturday: Morning)

Neji and I were sitting at the kitchen's island, eating breakfast. We had just come from a morning run. The beach looked amazing in the morning and the serenity of the scenery helped ease the tension between Neji and I. He had been acting strange all morning. He was quieter than normal and seemed tense.

My brow furrowed as I wondered what was eating at him. We had already made up last night, so a new issue must have come up.

"Neji-kun, is something bothering you?"

He shook his head.

"Are you mad at me?"

"No, Tenten. I'm just a little tired," he responded, not looking up from his breakfast.

My mouth curved into a small frown. I knew he was lying to me, but I decided to drop the subject. I sensed that he didn't want to tell me what was bothering him.

Suddenly, I heard a girly scream from the top of the stairs. I knew it had to be Ino.

"You're such a jerk!"

"Stop yelling, you troublesome girl," Shikamaru groaned.

Seconds later, Ino stomped down the stairs with a slightly pissed off and tired looking Shikamaru trailing behind her at a calmer pace. They came into the kitchen to continue their argument.

"I can't believe you purposely broke my cellphone!" Ino yelled.

"Fine, I'll buy you a new cellphone. Are you done screaming at me?" grumbled Shikamaru as he massaged his temples.

"I haven't even started!" she replied. Shikamaru groaned yet again and ran a hand through his pineapple-shaped hair style.

"What happened?" I asked, totally lost. Neji also raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow in question.

"Last night, Sai called me on my cell phone. Then out of nowhere this lazy jerk," Ino paused to glare at Shikamaru, "took my cell away from me and smashed it!"

"You and your big mouth were keeping me awake last night. I just wanted you to shut up," he complained.

"You didn't need to break my cell! I was just talking to Sai. I wasn't even that loud!"

I noticed the way Shikamaru's eyes narrowed at the mention of Sai's name.

'Interesting…'

"Why would you even need to call him at two in the morning? You were just being annoying." Shikamaru continued to look impassive, but there was a slight tenseness to his normally relaxed stance.

"Oh, shut up. I hope you're happy now. You ruined my chances of him ever asking me out," Ino whined.

"What?" hissed Shikamaru as he glared darkly at Ino. His uncaring, lazy demeanor went out the window after what Ino admitted. "You were planning on going out with him?"

I shifted my eyes between the fighting pair.

'Wait... Ino doesn't even like Sai. She hates Sai's guts. That must mean... Holy crap! She was trying to get Shikamaru jealous!'

I studied Shikamaru. He looked absolutely livid.

'And it looks like her plan in working.'

Shikamaru stood with his hands shoved into his pockets, glaring at Ino with his shoulders tense as if he was waiting to strike out at something. Ino seemed to notice the dark, murderous aura that surrounded him.

"Shikamaru, relax. I was just joking. I don't even like Sai!" Ino giggled, tucking her hair behind her ear nervously. I guess she felt bad for upsetting him unnecessarily.

Shikamaru grunted a reply and began to look for something to eat. He no longer looked murderous, but he was definitely still annoyed and a bit ticked off.

"Ohayo gozaimasu," a tiny voice squeaked. We all turned to see Hinata standing in the doorway. I smiled. Her stuttering had become less frequent after she began dating Naruto.

Neji finished his breakfast and placed his dishes in the sink. As he passed Hinata, she bowed and he returned the gesture before leaving the room.

"Hey Hinata! C'mon, let's eat breakfa—is that a hickey on your neck?!" Ino screeched.

My jaw fell slack when my eyes landed on the love bite located on Hinata's neck. Hinata's hand flew up to her neck, trying to hide the evidence Naruto's mouth had left on her.

An awkward silence filled the room as we all stared wide-eyed at the blushing girl.

"Hey guys! What's for breakfast?" Naruto greeted as he appeared in the doorway. Then he paused and quirked an eyebrow. "Uh... Why are you guys staring at me like that?" he inquired, looking creeped out.

"Yo-You… H-H-Hinata…HICKEY! I can't believe you guys made out!" Ino screeched, pointing an accusing finger at Naruto. She looked like she was about to pass out from shock.

Naruto and Hinata turned bright red at Ino's accusation, but neither of them were denying it. My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. We all couldn't comprehend the fact that sweet, innocent Hinata was fooling around with Naruto last night.

"So..." Naruto started, trying to change the subject, "What are the plans for today?"

"We have a house to ourselves and no super vision for a whole weekend. Why don't we throw a party tonight?" Ino suggested, "We could invite some of our friends from school."

I rolled my eyes. Leave it to Ino to devise a plan that would give her an excuse to dress up and boost her social status.

"Is that alright with you, Hinata?" I asked.

Hinata seemed a bit hesitant, but gave in after some coaxing from Ino.

"Alright, it's settled! We're having a party tonight! I'm going start inviting people," Ino said. She grabbed my cellphone from the counter and started to text people right away.

"I'm going to go wake up Sakura and emo-boy. We're going to need their help to get the party ready," said Naruto. He quickly pecked Hinata's cheek before excusing himself.

SAKURA'S P.O.V. (Saturday: Morning)

The first thing I noticed when I woke up was that I felt oddly warm and comfortable. I snuggled deeper into the covers, not wanting to wake up. I felt something shift on top of me and my eyes opened groggily. The first thing my eyes focused on was a pair of widened onyx eyes staring down at me.

Sasuke was still lying on top of me, but one detail was different from last night. He was wide awake. Only one word ran repeatedly through my mind.

Shit.

Sasuke stared down at me with a look of complete disbelief on his face. He appeared to be too shocked to move. My mouth opened to try to explain how we got into this position, but my mind was frustratingly blank. All I could do was stare at him like a complete idiot.

Suddenly, the door swung wide open. Our heads snapped in the direction of the sound. Naruto stood in the doorway, a wide smile stretched across his face.

"Rise and shine! Time to part—" Naruto's words died in his throat when he caught sight of our compromising position. His eyes bulged out of their sockets and his jaw dropped. I would have laughed at his hilarious expression if I wasn't so mortified.

The room was filled with an awkward silence. Then, Naruto opened his mouth to scream.

TENTEN'S P.O.V. (Saturday: Morning)

I half-listened to the conversation between Ino, Shikamaru, and Hinata as I ate my breakfast. Well, it was more like Ino was doing all the talking while Hinata listened politely and Shikamaru tuned her out. I decided to copy the seventeen-year-old Nara and tune her out as well. My thoughts wandered to the peculiar events of this morning.

'What an interesting morning. First, Ino made Shikamaru jealous. Then, we learn Naruto gave Hinata a hickey. What next? We're gonna find out Sasuke slept with Sakura last night?'

I snickered at my thoughts. As if that will ever happen...

Then, a loud scream came from Sasuke and Sakura's room. It was Naruto. No one else in the world could yell that loudly.

"TEME IS BANGING SAKURA! MY POOR, VIRGIN EYES ARE BURNING!"

My jaw dropped. I think I spoke too soon.
