Sakura woke up the next morning, finding herself lying next to Sasuke in the living room. His arm was draped over her shoulder in a loose hug as he slept, and Sakura felt herself blushing as she studied his face. His lips were parted slightly, and steady breath emanated from between them. A tiny twinge of pink graced his pale, smooth complexion. His hair was tousled slightly. Sakura smiled and carefully slid out from underneath his arm, trying fiercely not to wake him. She had just managed to stand up and take her first step towards the kitchen when a hand shot out and grabbed her ankle.
"Stay," Sasuke quietly ordered, and Sakura lied back down next to him obediently. He never once opened his eyes as he pulled her into another hug, pressing her body protectively against his. Sakura curled up into a little ball and snuggled into the soft fabric of his shirt. He placed one hand on her waist and used the other as a pillow for her head, his fingers tangled lovingly in her cherry blossom locks. Sakura smiled and closed her eyes peacefully.

Sakura made sure that Sasuke was sleeping again before pulling away from him. She padded softly up the stairs and to his room, where she had left her bag of clothes. She chose an outfit that looked very much like her usual, except in black and white. Sakura closed the bedroom door halfway. The pink-haired girl quietly unzipped her red top and folded it, humming softly. Next, she removed her bra and threw it into her bag, reaching down to grab a new one. She straightened up and was about to put it on when she heard sensed a chakra nearby.
Sakura turned her head to the door, just to check that no one was watching her. Her emerald eyes widened and she softly gasped as she saw Sasuke in the doorway. A shocked expression lanced vividly over his facial features. Sakura defensively crossed her arms over her chest and suddenly felt very vulnerable. A familiar feeling of exposure washed over her- she had felt it when Sasuke had bandaged her stomach after she fell out of a tree (see 'Kiss of the Shadows').
Sasuke couldn't help but stare at his girlfriend. Her arms were crossed over her chest, but nothing else. Her smooth, toned stomach was bare under his gaze, and the button to her pants was undone. Her eyes were wide with shock, and her mouth was parted in silent words. Sakura turned away from him, blushing furiously.
"Sasuke-kun," she said, trying to catch her breath as it caught in her chest.
"I'm sorry, Sakura," Sasuke said quickly. "I shouldn't make excuses, but the door was part way open and I just assumed-"
"It's okay, Sasuke-kun," Sakura said softly. Sasuke nodded and closed the door, leaving Sakura back to her dressing. Sakura sighed in relief as he left. She had felt so vulnerable and exposed when she had seen him looking at her, and it was a frightening emotion. She quickly finished changing and opened the door, intending to make breakfast.
"Sasuke-kun!" she gasped, coming face to face with the boy as she stepped out of his bedroom. He smiled awkwardly down at her.
"I have to change," he said simply, brushing past her and closing his bedroom door behind him. Sakura made her way down to the kitchen silently and dutifully began making breakfast.
"Sasuke-kun..." she mumbled to herself.
