he can't take his eyes off of them.
sasuke has never had any problems before with them, but there's just something about his one-month girlfriend sakura's lips that's enticing him so much. it's been distracting him for the past few days now.
is it the pinkish hue of them? the suppleness of her bottom lip and the gentle curve of her upper one? or is it the way they glisten when her equally pink tongue darts out and wets them just a tiny bit that makes his heartbeat a tiny bit faster?
they are doing math formulas and studying for their final exams, and here he is wondering if her lips would taste like the coffee she had earlier or the blueberry cheesecake she's having now.
only one way to find out.
"hey," sasuke says softly, earning the attention of sakura beside him. she turns to him and hums softly, a wordless gesture of what is it? that emphasizes the pretty shape of her lips, and sasuke leans closer.
"i'm curious about something," he murmurs while his gaze is directly focused on his target. she must've seen the look in his eyes because she takes a tiny gasp that opens her mouth, and he goes in for the kill.
his lips slot between hers, and all the shit they've been studying about for the past hour was suddenly gone from his mind. all he knows now is this.
it's only for approximately five seconds and pulls away slowly that he felt the way their lips were locked. sasuke opens his eyes and sees her blushing pink cheeks and her fluttering pink eyelashes. there are dashes of freckles across the bridge of her nose and he realizes this is the first time he's been this close—
because this is their first kiss, and sasuke suddenly feels mighty.
he waits patiently for her to open her eyes. when hazy green eyes peer up at him, he hears her breathlessly ask. "what was that for?"
sasuke licks his lips and tries to get an answer to his curiosity earlier. he's about to say i want to know if your lips taste as good as they look but it sounds like something his cousin shisui would say, and he shivers.
in the end, sasuke decides to be truthful. he was raised as an honest boy, after all.
he tucks a stray hair behind her ear and traces her soft jawline with his middle finger as he pulls his hand back. his eyes are still on her mouth when he answers, "i wanted to kiss you."
dark onyx eyes meet shining emerald ones and he continues, "i've always wanted to, even before we got together." he shrugs nonchalantly to his his nervousness and anxiety of oh shit, what if she didn't want to? or i did horrible? it was my first kiss, too.
"did you not like it?" he mumbles as if shy, which is very uncharacteristic of him.
perfect white teeth make an indention on her bottom lip, and sasuke has never wanted to be a tooth until now if it means he can leave an imprint on her, too.
sakura looks briefly at the door of his room where they are currently in, and looks back at him. "i mean..." she trails off while her gaze goes down from his smoldering stare to his anticipating lips.
"i don't mind if we take a break from math," sakura concludes, her eyes back on his as if beckoning him to kiss me kiss me kiss me, and sasuke thinks to himself say no more before leaning in again and kissing her full on her gorgeous mouth.
he knows no shit about romance and is never one to kiss-and-tell but if he can shout this to the heavens, he may just scream that sakura— his fierce, beautiful, wonderful sakura tastes like love.
