summary: Sakura, Sasuke, and a secret that just couldn't be kept.
day 22: exposed
Sakura isn't saying she likes secrets, but she isn't against them either.
They're there to keep people out of things they shouldn't know, it assures you that no one will talk about it, only you'll know. Keeping secrets was just something natural, she's positive everyone has secrets, she doesn't think she's met a person who hasn't.
Oh yeah, her painfully honest, blunt, and straight to the point boyfriend, or lover, she's not sure what they are yet.
She knows well that Sasuke absolute hates secrets, he hates keeping things from people. He once told her that he'll never have anything to hide from her, secrets don't exist in his life apparently. He told her that he'd tell her if he fucked up, or if he did something she wouldn't like, no secrets, ever.
Honestly, she kind of wishes Sasuke would like to keep secrets. Not because she wants him to be a lying, cheating boyfriend, but because him not liking them makes her current secret risky.
She types away at her computer, eyes glued on the screen since she needs to finish her assignment to turn into Tsunade-sensei in the morning.
He had barged into her apartment over an hour ago with cake in one hand and lemonade in the other and a promise of a "good time", but she had rolled her eyes, taken the snacks and asked him to leave since she had a term paper due, and couldn't afford any...distractions.
And she knows this man, he tends to be insatiable.
She snorts mentally, if any girl heard her say something like that they'd probably castrate her. Any girl would love to spend time with the dark-haired boy. Don't get her wrong, she's on the same boat, but this paper is half her grade and she needs to pass, so for now, the only company she needs is that of her thick medical text books and her laptop.
Not Uchiha-freaking-Sasuke.
"Sakura."
She mentally sighs, and doesn't look up, she should've known he would get bored eventually, plus, he'd been too quiet for her liking. She watches from the corner of her eye as he picks up a thick medical textbook, opening it to a random page and skimming it, his brow furrows the further down he reads and she almost snorts, go figure.
He slams the book shut before placing it back where he got it from. He then sighs loudly, leaning back against the couch, placing his arms behind his back and shutting his eyes.
She's not sure why he's actually here, they had agreed to just meet up this weekend, before he left again. He had just barged in and claimed to have something important to say, and when she said no, he just said he'd wait.
She tries to go back to work but his lips form a smirk and suddenly she's very curious about what has him so smug? Is there something he did that she should know about?
"Sasuke-kun, when you smirk like that it worries me."
"Hn."
"Something wrong?"
"Why do you keep our little...thing a secret?"
Sakura removes her hands away from the laptop, eyes remaining frozen on the screen. She doesn't say anything in response, merely arches a brow, wondering what possessed him to ask that, she's sure they've been over this.
She watches as his smirk widens, and he almost looks amused, she's positive he'd laugh, well, if he wasn't Uchiha Sasuke.
She purses her lips before speaking, "Because you're a celebrity, I thought that was pretty obvious?"
He doesn't say anything in response, his smirk just remains in place and he continues to lean against the couch.
The way he looks now makes her want tor each over and sock him good, you know, just to teach him a little lesson about being so smug when it came to her. No man has ever gotten the best of her, and just because this asshole was a pop star didn't mean he'd get the best of her.
Over her dead body.
"What if word got out?"
"Sasuke-kun, I don't see how that can happen," she sighs.
He smirks, before shaking his head, tsking, "Is that so, Sa-ku-ra? How naïve of you, really."
She frowns, "Oh yeah, why do you ask?"
"Just asking," he smirks, "anyways"
"Sasuke-kun."
"Indulge me, baby, what if word got out that we were...you know-"
"Fucking?" she supplies with a smirk of her own.
She knows he doesn't like that term, doesn't like when she uses it to describe what they do. Mostly because he's always been clear that his intentions aren't to just bed her and leave her the next morning.
"Dating," he grits his teeth.
She laughs, "I suppose it'd be bad, right?"
He frowns, "How come?"
"Come on, Sasuke-kun, don't be serious," she sighs, "it'd be difficult to have privacy, we'd have cameras flashing in every direction, everything we did would be put on magazines."
"I wouldn't mind it," he says.
"Sasuke-kun, I like having you all to myself," she smiles shyly, "especially since on stage you belong to many other girls."
"I do not," he frowns.
"Do too," she rolls her eyes, a smirk in place, "I've seen plenty of 'I heart Sasuke-sama' posters to prove it."
"They're just fangirls," he snorts.
"Sasuke-kun, that's not my point," she smiles,"I like being intimate, and with cameras flashing this way and that, ready to publish everything about me, about you, about us, it makes me nervous."
"So you wouldn't want us to be found out?"
"Not really, no," she bites the inside of her cheek, "it'd make me feel exposed, but should it happen, I don't think-"
He throws the magazine in front of her, "came in the mail today.
Sakura frowns, well that was..different, usually Sasuke paid no mind to the tabloids, or magazines. According to him everything they've ever posted about him has been lies, and he hates liars, and the people who read the stupid magazines.
She reaches over for the rolled up magazine, wondering why he looks so smug once more. She unrolls it and her eyes widen at what she sees on the cover.
"Sasuke-kun."
"Aa."
She takes in the image of her and him on the front cover of this magazine. In big, eye-catching letters the words "Uchiha Sasuke's New Girlfriend" make her eye twitch.
The picture was taken at Naruto's "Birthday Extravaganza"(since just calling it a birthday party sounded lame, and he wasn't lame, nope, never). She was grinning at him, in that teasing way of hers when she denied him something.
Her head was tilted up, his lips brushing against hers, he looked dazed, like he was wrapped right around her little finger.
"Oh my gosh," she gasps, opening the magazine to the article.
Caught red-handed at Uzumaki Naruto's Birthday Extravaganza was none other than the famous lead singer of the band, Mangekyo, Uchiha Sasuke. According to sources this beautiful pink-haired lady is a childhood friend of both band members(Naruto, Sasuke), Haruno Sakura. The two were seen all throughout the birthday celebration, holding hands and sharing a few kisses here and there. Whether they're a offical item has not yet been confirmed since the other members of the man refuse to speak on Sasuke's behalf, and no interview with Sasuke has officially been made.
However, it is possible that the two have been dating for quite some time. Many people have speculated that this relationship started almost five months ago at Yamanaka Ino's celebratory dinner party, the two were seen talking together quite often, sharing glances and whispering to each other every now and then.
Not to mention lead singer Uchiha Sasuke has had several songs where the theme of it all was being in love. We have reason to believe that plenty of the songs are indeed written for her. Not to mention in an interview two months back the lead singer claimed that the songs were of sentimental value because he had indeed written them about someone, but no one had actually been able to find out who that special girl was.
We can only assume at this point that Uchiha Sasuke has finally found himself someone pretty, and amazing enough to date him. Sorry ladies, seems the number one heart-throb is no longer up for grabs.
The article goes on for a few more paragraphs about their supposed relationship, and Sakura shakes her head. She closes the magazine and wonders how on earth she could completely forget who he was and what that meant.
Seems their secret isn't much a secret now.
"Sakura."
"Sasuke-kun," she bites her lip lightly, "everything here is-"
"Right?" he supplies, "I know."
"What do we do?"
"Nothing, what can we do?" he asks, looking at her, "Lie?"
"I don't want to ruin things for you, maybe that'd be bes-"
"I don't care, you shouldn't either," he sighs, "it doesn't matter to me whether anyone else knows, I don't care, it won't make me like you any less."
"Sasuke-kun, should you tell them we are I think it'd be difficult to handle," she whispers, "we wouldn't be able to be together as often."
He takes her hand, bringing it up to his lips, "I like you─no─I love you, and I don't want you to feel like this is all too much, I'm with you every step of the way."
"I know, but-"
"But nothing, I'm not dumping you, you're not dumping me, it's okay, we're going to be okay," he takes a deep breath, "I want people to know that you're the one I'm dating, the one I'm in love with, the one who I claim as my muse."
Her eyes widen, before she smiles brightly, "O-Okay."
He presses a kiss to the back of her hand before bringing her on to his lap. She squeaks in surprise as he steadies her, a smirk on his lips as he goes in for a quick kiss.
He pulls away, looking at her carefully, "Plus, it's good practice."
"Good practice?" she echos, looking amused, "for what exactly?"
"Imagine how much publicity you'll get when we get engaged, babe," he smirks.
Her eyes widen and she turns bright red at his blunt words, yeah, no secrets here. He doesn't give her time to respond as he goes in for another kiss.
She supposes she'll let that one slide for now.
