Their childhood is in the past.

Growing up from kids to teens meant dealing with the complications of entering into adulthood such as; but not limited to...

puberty...hormones...acne...and certain new...

...urges; ones that were fueled by testosterone and estrogen.

And so, it all began on a warm and sunny day...

...after weeks and weeks of...'dealing' with his little problem on his own; the lone Uchiha finally snapped. Caving into his deep, dark desires...

Life for the newly adolescent teenagers from the group know by most as team seven had grown significantly harder ever since their adult hormones decided to make an unexpected and very much unwelcome appearance. The young trio has found it to most often affect them during times of intense training. Which, for the lone Uchiha, has seemed to make things more... complicated, than it has for the other two members of his team. Naruto, the loud-mouthed blonde-haired idiot never seemed to be too bothered by such baser desires... so then why, thought the dark-haired, moody male, was he so affected by his hormones. He likes to center the blame of his current distress solely on the only culprit for which he became affected by whenever he was within sight of her; even though the pinkette was completely and utterly oblivious that she was the cause of his sour mood swings. Currently, Sakura was standing at the edge of the training grounds; keeping a warm, friendly smile firmly on her lips as she encouraged both of her male teammates who stood directly across from one another in a defensive stance. Sasuke's attention was once again diverted to her 'newly developing...more feminine features' which included but wasn't limited to her widening hips and her growing chest...or boobs as Naruto liked to call them. The combination was...alluring.

Whizz...

Thwack...

A wild shuriken nearly took off Sasuke's right ear as it went flying past his head. The Uchiha quickly turned his attention away from Sakura in order to counter-attack with a couple kunai of his own; one hitting its target directly as it pinned poor Naruto to the trunk of a nearby tree by the collar of his bright orange shirt. "Hey bastard, that's not far," the blonde yelled as he tried desperately to pull the knife free; his thin lips set in a firm frown. Sasuke's only response was to make a grunting sound from the back of his throat as he crossed his arms over his chest. His dark gaze soon moved from the struggling Naruto to Sakura as she clapped loudly and jumped up and down due to her excitement for his well-deserved (in his opinion) victory. "Great job Sasuke-kun!" He couldn't help but feel his chest swell with pride at her praise and it did help boost his ego greatly as he let a small smile pass across his face; that is until he found his gaze wandering once again...downwards.

Past her bright, green eyes...

Past her warm, soft smile...

Down the pale, slender column of her neck...

Until his heated gaze came to rest upon her slightly bouncy and very perky breast.

'Fucking hormones!'

"Hn," was his simple response to her excitement before he quickly turned away from the pair; attempting to hide the small patch of pink that was now decorating the once pale skin across his cheeks. He placed his hands in his pockets before taking long strides forward as he began to walk away from the training grounds.

"Hey, Teme! I'm not done training," Naruto holler loudly as he finally pulled the knife free from his clothing. Sasuke stopped mid-step and glanced back at the blonde over his shoulder.

"Well, I am. I'm going home." The dark-haired teen ignored the displeased yells from his male teammate and continued onwards until he hit one of the main roads that would lead into town. He slowed his pace slightly when he heard a pair of small feet smacking against the road behind him and sighed inwardly as the familiar chakra signature of his female teammate approached him. It was confirmed to be Sakura when he heard her voice calling out to him.

"Hey Sasuke-kun! Wait up." The lone Uchiha wasn't sure exactly why he slowed his stride to accommodate for her shorter one but he did nonetheless; even though he was fairly certain it had to do with his...urges...again. In the end he decided to l blame it strictly on the hormones that were still rage through his body from the earlier training he did with Naruto and Sakura. Sasuke cringed when she sidled up to him and pressed her small shoulder against his arm gently; his muscles tightened when her bare skin touched his sensitive flesh and he felt his pants do the same as his 'baser desires' made themselves known once more. 'Fucking hell...this was like torture,' he thought as he clamped his teeth together to fight back a groan. "Do you mind if I walk with you, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura's innocence to his current state was slightly frustrating for the teen but he remained silent on the matter; she simply had no idea what she was putting him through...and he would keep it that way...for now.

'Yes.'

"No."

"Good. I was thinking that maybe we could go and get something to eat. I figured you might be hungry after all the training you did today."

'Hell no.'

"Hn. Sure." Why did I just agree to this...oh yeah; damned hormones are clouding my fucking judgment again... that's why.

"Great!" Her warm smile was...cute, he thought as they made their way down the road, side by side.

After a rather large and fairly quiet lunch; which Sasuke could only assume was because a certain blonde wasn't with them, the two headed back in the direction of his home. Sasuke was still walking with his hands in his pockets but now he felt that a gentle calm had settled over him and he had a feeling it was due to the length of time that he had spent in Sakura's company. Maybe, the two of them spending time like this together... as long as it was just the two of them, wouldn't be such a bad thing after all. When they made it to his front door, he suddenly found that he didn't want her to leave. He actually wanted to spend more time with her and again he wasn't exactly sure why that was. Before he could think about the implications of his words, he found himself speaking the first thing that came to his mind as they stood side by side on the small porch that lead up to his home. "Do you want to come in, Sakura?"

"Really...," her vibrant green irises lit up with happiness but he also detected the slight apprehensiveness within them as she gazed up into his dark orbs expectantly. He closed his eyes for a brief moment before turning to unlock the front door; holding it open with one hand while signaling for her to enter before him with the other.

"Hn," was his simple answer.

After inviting her into his small home, Sasuke wasn't exactly sure what to do after that and so he sent her to his living room while he proceeded to busy himself with making some warm tea for the two of them. He waited until it was fully ready before deciding to head in the direction she had disappeared to. He found her sitting on his couch with her small hands clasped together in her lap while she gazed around the small space with a curious expression. When she spotted him standing a few feet away, she smiled brightly at him and he handed her one of the mugs before taking the seat next to her; why he hadn't decided to sit in the open chair across from her he didn't know... but he would worry about that later.

They sat in a comfortable silence together for several minutes as they each took small sips of the beverage he had provided. Sasuke watched her closely out of the corner of his eyes as she slowly began to relax; first it was her shoulders, and then her back before finally her whole body as it seemed to practically melt into the plush cushions behind her. His dark gaze once again traveled south only to linger upon her feminine features; the ones that he had seemed to grow rather attracted to as of late. He watched her small but perky breast rise and fall repeatedly beneath her form fitting shirt as she took small calming breaths; his orbs then moved down her thin body and past her flat stomach until they came to rest upon her clothed...

'Damn it. Control yourself Uchiha.'

When Sasuke glanced back up into Sakura's eyes he realized with slow clarity that he had been caught 'peeking' and he felt his cheeks flush deeply and as brightly as Sakura's pink hair before he turned away; attempting to adjust his posture and embarrassingly hardened member in the process. He heard Sakura take a deep breath before she cleared her throat loudly and when she spoke; his eyes widened significantly. "I don't mind you know...," her words were quietly stated but easily heard by his ears; especially considering the room was completely silent otherwise. Sasuke, growing brave, turned to her then and noticed that her cheeks were just as flushed as his own probably were but Sakura's expressive eyes held his in a firm and slightly heated gaze. He swallowed past the large lump that had begun to form in the back of his throat.

"You don't mind what," he questioned though he hated how his voice sounded slightly choked; but it couldn't be helped. The Uchiha would have probably been more embarrassed if he had broken eye contact with the pinkette; as he felt if he did in that moment that he would be showing an even greater sign of weakness... which was something that he simply didn't do. Sakura broke the spell first as she reached over slowly to place her glass onto the coffee table across from them before turning to face him as fully as she could, given her seated position beside him.

"I don't mind...," she started again before tucking a loose strand of her long, pink hair behind her ear; a nervous habit of hers he had come to recognize long ago. "I don't mind you...looking at me...if you want to..."

"I wasn't looking at you." It was his first instinct to act and answer to the negative; to be in complete and utter denial about the truth, but the look on Sakura's face told him that he wasn't any good at it and he wouldn't be getting away with it...not with her anyway.

"Don't lie to me Sasuke-kun...I saw you. But like I said a moment ago...I don't mind. In fact,...," she hesitated as she licked her lips nervously; but then she continued on as a newfound confidence seemed to settle within her. "I wouldn't mind you doing...other things. You know, if you wanted to."

"Like what?" He also leaned over to place his mug on the coffee table before turning fully in his seat to face her. Sasuke watched silently as Sakura's pink cheeks darkened to the color of a cherry-tomato before her green eyes darted away from his shyly.

"I would like it if you...um...touched me. If you...if you want to that is." The heat within Sasuke's very male body seemed to spike to a new level at her shy confession and he felt all of the blood within him begin to rush south; making the young teen almost gasp when the need within his body also spiked significantly. He tried to keep his face neutral but couldn't stop the tick of his brow nor the heat within his dark gaze. Sakura took this reaction the wrong way however and began to back-track as she stumbled over her words; her eyes growing wide as she met his intense gaze. "I don't mean that we... oh, never mind. I'm sorry I said anything, Sasuke-kun...I'll just..."

Sasuke couldn't take it anymore. He snapped. He cut off her speech quickly when he suddenly pressed his thin lips against her plump ones. Both teens stared at each other with wide eyes that were now fully focused on the other as their bodies seemed to freeze for several minutes before they slowly began to move; experimentally exploring each other in the process. Sakura's green eyes fluttered shut slowly as she pressed her soft lips firmly against his and he felt her small hands as they came up to grasp the front of his shirt tightly; he moved his own hands so he could hold the back of her neck and the side of one flushed cheek gently. The young couples first kiss was somewhat sloppy and a little messy at the beginning but they both soon gained the confidence to explore each other further; the tip of his tongue reaching out to trace the seam of her plump flesh while her own lips parted slowly to allow him access to her wet cavern. When Sasuke's tongue touched hers tentatively, he heard a sharp gasp come from his partner and it only seemed to serve in fueling his...excitement.

His grip on her tightened as he pulled her a little closer to him and allowed his head to tilt at an angle; which helped to deepen their kiss further. Sasuke only pulled away slightly when he felt her small hands tug on the bottom of his shirt; his eyes opening slowly so he could look upon her flushed face. They were both breathing harshly as they gazed into each other's eyes and Sasuke knew that if they went any further; what these kinds of...actions could possibly (more like probably) lead to. The young teen knew that he was ready; more than ready, if he was to be honest. But was she? "Sakura...I...do you...are you..." He had never felt more unsure of anything in his young life until her green eyes opened to meet his dark ones; black clashing with green in what could only be described as a connecting stare.

Passion against passion...

...lust against lust...

...matching each other in equal intensity.

"Yes...Sasuke-kun," was the pinkette's soft response before she brought him in for another impassioned kiss.
