Sweet Nothings
A/N: I've been on the site since my early teens. I've also tried many times to write my own stories, but always scrapped them after a couple of chapters. This will be my first official fanfiction to be uploaded! Basically, I looked up prompts and decided to write one-shots. If chapters coincide with each other, I will state so before the chapter! I will try my best to edit each chapter, but grammatical mistakes will happen! Anywho, enjoy! :D
Prompt: Drunk
Rating: T
Summary: Sakura ends up having to babysit a drunken Sasuke.
Chapter 1: Drunk
'This is so stupid.' Sasuke thought, sitting at a local bar with his fellow comrades. Initially, he wasn't even going to entertain the idea of wasting his time drinking. Unfortunately, for him, the stupid dobe wouldn't shut the hell up about having a team outing. It turned out to be a bigger deal than he wanted. At first it was going to be the 4 members of Team 7, but then Naruto invited the Hyuuga girl and Sakura invited Ino. Of course, they invited more people, much to Sasuke's dismay.
Ino and the girl's hadn't even made it to the bar yet and Naruto was well on his way to being completely plastered.
"Teeeeemeeeee!" Sasuke winced at Naruto's shrill voice ringing through his ears.
"Shut up, dobe!" He hissed at the loud mouth blonde. Naruto just giggled and slapped him on the back.
"Why? Aren't you having fun, Sasuke?!"
He ignored his inebriated best friend and fiddled with a napkin on the counter of the bar. Naruto sat down next to him and slammed his glass down, spilling the contents of the drink.
"Ohh I get it, fu fu fu." Naruto giggled, wildly. Sasuke merely gazed at the blond baboon with his eyebrows raised. He leaned of closer to Sasuke's ear to whisper, "It's because Sakura-chan's not here!"
Naruto laughed even harder at the look of horror on Sasuke's face.
"Don't worry, I miss my Hinata-chan."
"Sober up, dobe. You'll disgust Hyuuga away in your state." Sasuke said tersely, ignoring his comment about the pink haired ninja.
"Pshhhh! Sober, smober; Hinata thinks I'm cute no matter what!"
"Tch." Sasuke scoffed.
"Is that water?!" Naruto exclaimed, as if offended. "That's why you have a stick up your ass, teme! We need a bottle of sake, down here, Bartender-san!"
"I don't plan on drinking. Whose going to keep you out of trouble?"
Sasuke nodded his thanks to the bartender, who sat down the bottle of sake and 2 ceramic cups. Naruto snatched the bottle from Sasuke, before could take it from him. He poured them both a shot; handing one to Sasuke. Sasuke eyed it wearily.
"C'mon, teme! After everything we've been through, one cup of booze ain't gonna hurt you!"
Sasuke sighed and nodded. He took the cup from the dobe and they clanked it together.
'One shot of this won't hurt anything.' Sasuke thought, tossing back the cold sake. He winced at the harsh, burning sensation washing down his throat.

Sakura was running late. Her shift at the hospital ran one and a half hours over the time she was supposed to get off. By the time she made it to the bar, everyone was going to be drunk. She didn't have time to run home, shower and change; as her house was across town from the bar. Ino would throw a fit if she knew that Sakura was going to show up in her hospital attire.
By the time she made it there, a lot of the group had already gone home. Ino was flirting and dancing with random patrons, which annoyed Shikamaru. She spotted Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke sitting at the bar. Hinata was blushing at something Naruto said to her and Sasuke looked annoyed. She eyed his pink cheeks and giggled.
"Hey, guys, sorry I'm so late." Sakura apologized, taking a seat on the stool between the two male ninja.
"HAY, IT'S SAKU-CHAN! You're laaaatee!"
Sakura winced at how loud Naruto was being.
"I had to stay late on my shift. How much have you had to drink, dummy?" She asked, picking up the sake bottle and shaking the contents inside. There was not much liquid left in it. Sakura leaned over the bar and smiled at Hinata.
"I gots teme to drink! He'sa light weight!"
"Shuddap, d-dobe."
Sakura laughed when she heard Sasuke's husky slurred voice.
"How much have you had to drink, Sasuke-kun?"
He stared at her blankly, trying to process what she was saying. The world was moving fast...and was that two Sakuras he saw?
"Teme thought he could out drink me! He made it 'alfway through the second bottle before he was drunk!" Naruto exclaimed, laughing hysterically.
"N-Naruto-kun has probably had closer to 3 or 4 bottle, already."
Sakura sighed and rubbed her forehead. She did not want to take care of two drunken shinobi after an exhausting hospital shift. She waved the bartender over for the tab.
"Wha-wha ya doin', Sakura-chan? I'm just getting started!"
"Hinata, I'm going to leave Naruto in your hands, okay?"
The raven hair girl nodded and tried to get Naruto to stand up.
"Come on, Naruto-kun. L-Let's go home and get you some ramen."
"You're the best, Hina!"
Sakura almost had a heart attack when she saw the bill that the two males racked up. It was almost as much as one month's salary at the hospital. Ugh.
"You two owe me!" She snapped giving the bartender money for the tab, as well as a tip. She glared at Sasuke.
"I didn't do nothin'."
"Usually, it's Naruto who acts so irresponsible. You should know your limit, Sasuke." She scolded, pulling his arm around her shoulders so that she could get him out of the bar. It was tough, as Sasuke was not only stumbling, but also very heavy.
"I don need no help."
"Now's not the time to act like a tool."
"I am a man, not a tool."
Sakura shivered at the warm breath that grazed her ear. Sakura sighed, deciding that she could not be mad at the Uchiha. This was something that Sasuke normally wouldn't do.
"Well come on Man Sasuke, let's get you home."
Sakura wanted to groan when she thought of how far the Uchiha Compound was from them. It was even further than her apartment.
You smell good..." Sasuke whispered so low, Sasuke almost didn't hear him. Yup, he was definitely inebriated. That was something so uncharacteristic for Sasuke to say out loud. She was sure he didn't mean to say it to begin with, so she just stayed quiet.
"Let's pick the pace up, Sasuke." Sakura begged. His stumbling began to get worse, until he just stopped walking altogether.
"I-I feel sick..." And then he vomited, all over her. She helped him over to the bench and cursed, quietly at the putrid smell from coming off of her shirt. She prayed to Kami-sama that Sasuke had no recollection of the events that took place tonight. She sighed before talking off her scrub top and tossing it into a nearby trash bin. Her chest was pretty much exposed, besides the bindings that were wrapped around it. Sasuke stared at her. His heart was beating erratically; something that he would later blame on the alcohol. Uchiha's did not swoon over a girl taking off their shirt.
Even in Sasuke's drunken haze, he didn't want any wondering eyes trailing Sakura's body. He was sure that drunk fighting would be challenging, but he would pummel any guy staring at her. Sasuke leaned forward off the bench and took off his shirt, handing it to her.
"It's only fair," Sasuke started, "since I, hiccup, ruined your shirt." He didn't tell her his real motives for giving her the shirt. Sakura pulled it over her head; the bottom of the cloth falling to her mid thigh.
Sakura tried not to blush because Sasuke's drool worth chest was exposed. 'Sakura snap out of it. You're 20 years old and you've seen hundreds of chest before! Stop acting like a lovesick teenager!' She scolded herself, and, once again, helped the Uchiha up.
"Thank you," She whispered. She could feel Sasuke's body heat through the material of the shirt. Sakura could feel the heat rising on her cheeks.
"I was worried that you weren't comin' tonight," Sasuke said out of nowhere.
"Oh?"
"Thas why I drank, hiccup, drank so much." Sakura smiled, surprised with how much Sasuke was opening up to her.
"Seein' the dobe getting fresh with H-Hyuuga made me..jealous."
She looked up at him. They were halfway to the Uchiha Compound, now. Sakura almost sighed in relief.
"Do you have a girl you like?" She felt like testing the boundaries, to see how much information drunk Sasuke would give to her.
Sasuke giggled. He freaking giggled.
"Naruto didn't tell you."
"So you do?" Why did she sound so disappointed?
"I am a man, hiccup, I also have urges."
"There's a difference between liking and wanting to sleep with someone."
Sasuke giggled again.
"I'm glad Naruto didn't tell you."
Sakura was starting to get frustrated with the Uchiha. She was tempted to toss him in an alleyway and let him find his own way home. "Of...of course Naruto told me," Sakura lied. "He can't keep a secret."
Sasuke stopped his laughing and looked at her wide eyed.
"Soooo, hiccup?"
"So what?" Kami, Sasuke was starting to get heavy. Good thing she could see the gates of his house in the distance.
"I'm waiting for an answer...do you?"
"You aren't making any sense, Sasuke!" Sakura snapped at him. "Do I what?!"
"Like me?"
The bluntness of his words made her feel sick to her stomach. Her head felt dizzy and she had the urge to throw up, herself. They hadn't brought up her feelings for him since she was 13; right before he left the village.
"W-What does that have to do with anything?"
They were finally inside the house and Sakura struggled with getting him inside of his spacious bedroom.
"Every-hiccup-thing."
Sasuke grabbed her chin, clumsily, and forced her to look into his eyes. Sakura's heart started to race. She was nervous. This was uncharted territory she was exploring with him. This was something that he probably was not going to remember tomorrow. She didn't even know if her heart could handle this.
"Sasuke, I-"
She was cut off when his lips met hers. Sasuke's lips were soft, surprisingly. He pulled her down on the bed. She straddled his hips, his hold on her neck was uncomfortable, but Sakura didn't relent in kissing him back. Sasuke pulled away when oxygen was needed. Sakura was dazed and confused at what just transpired. The girl that Sasuke-kun was talking about- was it her? Dare she get her hopes up? She needed to think...Sakura looked down at Sasuke and he was already passed out, letting out little tufts of breath. He seemed peaceful, enough, Sakura thought.S She unraveled herself from his limbs and ran out of his house.
Sakura's heart was pounding, furiously, and she touched her fingers to her lips. Uchiha Sasuke had stolen her first kiss and it tasted of sake and acid (as gross as that sounds), and it was something that she would never forget in her lifetime.

Sasuke woke up the next morning with a raging headache and really gross morning breath. He groaned and pulled the covers up over his head to block out the sunlight. With no recollection of last night, he vowed to never let Naruto peer pressure him into getting drunk again.
