Knock knock
Sasuke and his father had arrived home not long ago, back from the hospital. Sasuke promptly avoided everything and beelined for his room, he plopped himself face first into his mattress.
"What." He said through his bedroom door. "It's me. Can I come in?" Itachi was always there for Sasuke, through a lot of parts of his life.
From how to do a taekwondo move in grade school, to how to do laundry in the middle of the night during middle school, to understanding a physics problem in high school. But this was something Sasuke was realizing he would have to figure out on his own.
Sasuke grunted in affirmation for Itachi to enter. Itachi slowly came in and sat at Sasuke's desk chair. He waited a minute or two to speak. Sasuke peered up at him from his mattress.
"Have you told Sakura yet?"
Sasuke stared at Itachi lazily. Then went back to being face first into the mattress. Sasuke knew he needed to talk to her. Firstly because he had to go to school with her tomorrow, and secondly because of their pact.
Everyone they have told about their pact has laughed at the idea (Naruto) or been weirded out (Ino and Itachi). 'Wait wait wait—so you two are technically together but like no hanky panky?' Sasuke remembered what Naruto said when he told him. Sasuke recalled how Ino said something about that being 'unnatural'.
It was his idea, that he stupidly made up at the end of high school. The more they went on though it was becoming harder and harder not to touch her. Especially driving with her to school, studying, hanging out in their free time. Sure they would practically sit on top of each other when studying or watching movies. They had fallen asleep in each other's beds before, yet nothing really beyond that and their kiss on New Years. It was also hard not to notice her body had changed over the years from girly to more of a woman's shape. It was harder to not notice her breasts when she hugged him, or when she wore thigh high socks in the winter how her thighs would spill out on the top of the sock.
Naruto always made fun of Sasuke for his weird standoffish attitude towards sex and physical touch. Until he realized his parents drilled Itachi and him on the importance of safety and abstinence. What everyone did not realize was that Sasuke was just like the rest of them. He had all the urges, masturbated, had his specific kinks mostly pertaining to a pink haired whatever you would call her now.
What a load of bullshit. His dad and his doctor were practically encouraging it now. The drive back from the hospital was possibly one of the most excruciatingly uncomfortable drives of his life. His father mentioned to take care of the needs before it becomes unbearable, and don't go more than a couple days between even if it is something…small. Sasuke shuddered at the thought.
Sasuke sat up and his head immediately started throbbing. He clutched his head, closing his eyes. Itachi came and sat by him on his bed. "Are you ok?" Itachi asked, visibly concerned. "Can you just hand me one of those pills?" Itachi took one from the pack and handed it to Sasuke. He swallowed it dry.
Sasuke opened his eyes and answered Itachi finally. "No. I have not told Sakura."
"You may want to soon. She came by and had been asking for you. She said you weren't answering your phone. She even brought over tomatoes." Itachi said worried. "I will. Now if you do not mind I would like to sleep for a bit. Today has been hell." Itachi nodded and left his room.
Once Itachi had left his room he finally texted Sakura.
Me- hey, meet at the spot tonight at 11.
Sakura- ok, hope you are doing alright.
Sasuke set his alarm for 10:30, so he could meet her at their spot. Their 'spot' was a short walk from their houses. Down the street from their neighborhood was a walking trail. A short ways down the trail it diverges into a dirt trodden path, they have a spot down that dirt path between two willow trees that they had been going to since middle school. They used to sit and talk there, do homework, read books together, and just be together without the pressure of everyone else.
His alarm went off. His headache was gone as was the nausea. The medicine at least helped with the symptoms, the urges-were still to be determined.
He slowly got out of his bed and quietly tossed on a navy hoodie and his black sneakers and exited out his window. So as not to alert any of his family he was leaving the house. He had done this before he would leave through his window, which was on the ground floor. His room faced away from the rest of the house. While he was free to do what he wanted due to his adult status he really did not want the questions or sympathy of his family at this moment.
He trekked down the neighborhood sidewalk and made his way to the dirt trodden path. Sakura was visible up ahead between the willow trees. He approached her and was immediately hit with her scent. It was far more powerful than earlier. He clutched his nose out of reflex. Sakura rushed up to him from her seated position on the ground. She was in a fitted tank top and her sleep shorts, her preferred pajamas.
"Sasuke? Are you alright?" She asked, concerned. Every ounce of blood in his body suddenly felt like it was heading south. He closed his eyes and motioned for her to stop moving towards him. The stress of the day, the symptoms, and the medication were all coming together and he hit his limit. "Sakura stop! Just stop. I'm an incubus. I got the blood test today and everything." He sternly stopped her. He opened his eyes and he saw her standing back a few feet.
She looked at him deep in thought. She took a tentative step towards him. He didn't back away this time. She looked sympathetic, and caring as always. She walked closer to him, and was a step away as he looked her in the eyes finally.
She looked into his eyes and her eyes widened. "Your eyes are red." Sakura then closed the gap and hugged his center. Her head nestled into his chest. "You are an idiot, if you think this changes anything. I still love you." Sasuke bristled at the word so casually used. It was true for both sides but they had never used it so abruptly.
She moved her head to glance up at him. His body moved on its own, one moment he was glancing into her eyes the next he had her pressed up against one of the willow trees in a searing kiss. His fingers laced through her rosy hair. She began to return the kiss, gripping his shirt, and every thought left his mind. All he could smell, taste and feel was her. His brain began to fight him, between logic of talking things over or to keep whatever this was going.
She pushed her hands gently on his chest to stop him from his attack on her lips. "Sasuke stop, for a sec." He stopped, and glared down at her. He smelled a new smell, something so strong, coming from her. Every part of his body wanted to continue and get more from her. Without prompt she began speaking again. "What does this mean for you? I know all the medical jargon of incubus, and succubus but what does this mean for you?" She rambled with concern, lacing her tone. Sasuke reached into his pocket to glance at the time on his phone then shoved it back into his pocket. "It means I have 6 days in less than a half hour to figure this new life out." He paused and looked back at her. Meanwhile fighting his senses to feel, smell and taste every part of her. "The doctor…he said I need sexual energy by the end of the week. Obtained from a partner." Her eyes opened wide in realization. "What if I were to be your partner?" Sakura timidly asked. Sasuke's heart picked up its pace. Was she trying to kill him? Get it together. Reign it in.
"I would never ask that from you, Sakura. Yes, that would be the best case scenario. But you should spend some time thinking about it. It would be a long commitment, and I would need…energy a few times a week." He countered trying to be as cool and tepid as possible.
Sakura gave him a look up and down as he stood in front of her with her back still against the willow tree.
"I know my answer. But I will still think about it if that is what you really want." She offered.
"Yes, that is what I want. Just let me know before the end of the week. Night Sakura." With that he began his walk back home.
