Polka Dotted Panties

[Part 3 of the Interesting Attire series]

—

Sasuke sat on the couch, mindlessly flipping through channels on the TV far too quickly to really catch what was on. He could still hear Sakura in the shower. He wished she would hurry up. And it wasn't because he was lonely without her beside him. No. He'd never admit that. At least, never aloud...

Just as his mind started to wonder and fall into the anxious pit it usually did when he thought too hard about his feelings for Sakura, he heard the bedroom door open. He turned to see Sakura fresh out of the shower, a towel covering her pink hair as she attempted to dry it. His eyes skated down the rest of her body. She wore a light yellow t-shirt, one he'd seen her in a dozen times. But his eyes narrowed when he noticed her lack of pajama bottoms. Instead, he was face to face with a red pair of panties adorned with a little white polka dot pattern.

This wasn't the first time he had seen Sakura in her underwear. They'd been teammates for years, so the accidental slip up was bound to happen. And they had been dating for a few months now, having spent the night at each other's place on more than one occasion. But their relationship was still new and he couldn't help but be a little blindsided by her casual state of undress.

"Sorry I took so long. I just felt like I couldn't get clean after that mission," Sakura stated, seeming completely unfazed by her lack of appropriate attire.

Sasuke just hummed his usual grumpy acknowledgement.

Sakura made her way over to the kitchen, continuing to dry the ends of her hair with the towel before calling over her shoulder, "would you like some tea?"

Lucky for Sasuke, he found his mouth automatically answered for him because his mind was completely focused on something else. And that something else was the sway of his girlfriend's hips as she crossed the room in front of him. His eyes zeroed in on the hem of her t-shirt as it brushed the curve of her back. The way those panties hugged her bottom made his fingers twitch, the bright red color seemed to accentuate her pear-shaped figure. He couldn't help thinking that she wore those specific pair of panties for him.

He was able to clear his head for a moment when her derrière became hidden behind the kitchen island. He was thankful for the slight reprieve. Sasuke had been struggling a lot lately to keep himself in check around Sakura. They hadn't advanced in their physical relationship yet and his reaction just now had him a little worried that his control might be slipping. He didn't want to push himself on her. He would be forever grateful that she still even had romantic feelings for him after all the shit he pulled. So he was determined not to ruin their relationship. Again.

He clenched his fist and took a deep breath to calm himself down. Because honestly, it was embarrassing to be turned on by such a mundane thing. He refused to lose himself over a goddamn undergarment. No matter how sexy the ass was that wore them.

Sakura returned just then, effectively disrupting his inner turmoil. His eyes tracked her movements back toward him, taking in her toned thighs and the little white bow at the top of her waistband. He hated himself for these stupid carnal desires. And to make matters worse, Sakura thought it perfectly okay to stand before him and bend over slightly as she placed the tea tray on the coffee table.

Sasuke felt his heart do a weird stutter as his eyes grew wide.

"You okay?" Sakura questioned as she took a seat next to him on the couch.

"Fine," Sasuke huffed, turning his face away from her to hide the intense blush on his cheeks.

Sakura just smirked at his reaction.

A/N:

I find awkward Sasuke adorable. He just is a dork who doesn't understand things sometimes. I love him :)

I am just a little cinnamon roll, so please be kind :)
