The sun's light forced its way past Sasuke's eyelids, dragging him to wakefulness. His head pounded and his throat was dry. He shifted on the bed, but froze when his arm touched something soft and warm. Gingerly, he moved his gaze to find a tangle of pink locks and a soft, sleeping face. His breath caught.
Am I dreaming? How did I end up sleeping next to Sakura?
Sasuke wasn't even sure how he got into bed in the first place. Flashes of Ino's party the night before swam in his mind. He remembered drinking shots with Naruto, and losing magnificently to Tenten in a game of beer pong. He lost count of how many cups of beer and what kind of hard liquor he drank, but judging by his massive headache, it was definitely too much.
Despite the consequences of the night before staking their claim, he couldn't help but think that watching Sakura fast asleep next to him was worth it. He was so close to her that he could feel her warm breath fanning his face. He didn't want to move. He didn't want to get up. He wanted this moment to last forever.
Gently, he lifted his hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, leaving him with a better view of her face. Her eyelashes started to flutter at his touch, and slowly, she opened her eyes. They were clouded with sleep and bleary from the lack of it, but the sunshine that shone in her green eyes made them sparkle.
She blinked a few times and smiled softly. "Sasuke-kun?"
He hummed and caressed her cheek with his index finger. He didn't even know that he, too, was smiling.
They both lay there for what seemed to be an eternity, basking in the forever that seemed all too inevitable that they would—could—share together. All they had to do was confess—confess and this little moment would be theirs to share everyday. This was the moment that their hearts were yearning for. And they finally had it.
Well...for a minute, anyway.
Ino walked into the room and coughed, making the two of them break their gaze and look at her. "Can you guys take your eye sex somewhere else?" she drawled. "I'm too sober for this."
Heat crawled across Sakura's cheeks, painting them the color of Sasuke's favorite fruit. He smirked at Ino, but brought his attention back to Sakura. She looked lovely despite her embarrassment.
Sasuke couldn't help but think that if Ino thought that was already too intense, she hadn't seen anything yet.
