I don't wanna hurt you.

I just wanna blow your mind

Tonight, I'ma leave you breathless


Heat.

That was all Sakuno was feeling.

Her entire body seemed to be on fire.

She was sure she was going to pass out, and Sasori's lips moving from her ankle to her calf and upward wasn't helping at all.

Kabuto had managed to bring them to Sasori's condo without incident. If he knew what they had done in the backseat, he didn't show it on his face. He only wished them a good night with a calm smile. They returned it with a good night of their own with Sakuno still blushing and Sasori's own calm smile. Sakuno was glad that her dress hadn't shown any stains from their earlier actions. She was also thankful that Sasori had given her his suit jacket to cover up the marks on her neck and collarbone.

"It might be somewhat awkward for other people to see all of these marks don't you think?" he had said placing the jacket over her shoulders. Though, she knew it was more for her sake than his own. He had no problem with his marks being showcased to the world. It just showed people that she was his.

She truly didn't mind his slightly possessive tendencies from time to time.

Her legs managed to work when they were walking in the building. Sasori having his arm around her waist may have had a hand in keeping her steady.

Sasori managed to keep his hands to himself until they were alone in the elevator. He gripped her waist as he whispered carnal promises in her ear. She could only press her face into his chest to hide her blushing face calm her racing heart. She could feel how much she was affecting Sasori was while he pressed up against her. In spite of her initial mortification of receiving Sasori's affections in the backseat of the car, she was certainly looking forward to what the rest of the night would bring.

Sex was still such a new thing to her, and she knew that Sasori had a great deal more experience than she did. She just didn't want to disappoint him.

Tonight, she was going try to be more proactive.

At least, that's what she planned on doing.

From the moment they stepped foot in his home, Sasori was kissing her and taking her breath away, not giving her a single chance to say or do anything. He slid his jacket off her shoulders before picking her up like a bride over the threshold. Next thing she knew, they were in his bedroom, with her thrown on top of his bed.

That's the position where she found herself currently. She was laying on his bed with him at the foot of it taking off her heels and planting kisses on her feet, ankles, and legs as he did so. The heat was increasing the more he touched her, and the dress felt more constricting.

They really needed to turn the ceiling fan on.

Sakuno's thoughts were interrupted when Sasori entered her line of vision. He kissed her deeply. He pulled away from her ignoring her small whine.

"Sakuno, could you turn over on your stomach for me?"

Sakuno didn't move, gazing at him in uncertainty.

Sasori brought his face close to hers and rubbed is thumb across her bottom lip. Sakuno felt her heartbeat speed up. Sasori's normally brown eyes had darkened to point where they were almost black. His gaze was hungry, almost feral, but his tone was soft.

"I just want to make you a bit more comfortable."

Flushing, Sakuno nodded and turned over as he commanded.

Once she had fully laid on her stomach, Sasori started planting kisses on the back of her neck. She felt him start to kiss her spine until he reached the top of her dress. Suddenly, she felt her dress being unzipped and the air hit her bare back.

So that's what he meant by more comfortable.

"Lift your body up for a second."

She did as she was told and Sasori managed to slip her dress off and down her legs with ease. Sakuno couldn't help but feel a little self-conscious that she was now completely naked. Sasori once again, started to press soft kisses down her spine, now uninhibited by her dress.

Sakuno was then turned on her back with everything bared to Sasori's eyes.

Sasori had to hold himself back from pouncing on her right then and there.

The blush that contrasted brightly against her fair skin somehow reached the top of her breasts. Her pink nipples were hardened and puckered as if asking for his attention. The top of her maidenhood had a small patch of curls. She was luminous against the blackness of his sheet.s

He felt his member twitch in anticipation.

Though this wasn't his first time seeing Sakuno naked, she was no less breathtaking the second time, and he wanted to make sure he took his time appreciating every inch of her.

Sakuno cringed under his stare and moved to cover herself. He stopped her hands and pinned them beside her head.

"Don't," he kissed her forehead, "you look beautiful."

Her blush grew and she looked away.

"Thank you, but.."

"But?"

"It's not fair."

He raised a brow.

"What's not fair?"

Her eyes met his.

"You…you still have your clothes on," she managed to say calmly. Her blush growing seemed to reveal emotions that contrasted the calm tone of her voice.

Sasori chuckled.

"That is true."

He sat up to loosen his tie and pull it form around his neck, letting it fall to the floor with Sakuno's dress. He didn't, however, make a move to remove the rest of his clothing.

He looked down at Sakuno with a smirk.

"I think I may need a little help with the rest."

Sakuno blanched. She knew exactly what he meant.

"I don't think I can-"

"You can…" he interrupted her.

Taking her hand, he placed it on the top button of his shirt.

"…and you will."

Sakuno was at a loss for words. She wanted to be bolder tonight, but she wasn't sure if this is what she exactly had in mind. Still, she wanted to become braver when it came to doing something more intimate.

With trembling fingers, she managed to unbutton the first two buttons. Time seemed to stand still as Sasori watched her continue with shaky hands but a steady pace. It didn't take too long before the pale skin of Sasori's bare chest was revealed to her eyes. Unbuttoning the last button, she stopped for a moment as if lost in thought while staring at his chest. She placed her hand on his abdomen before feeling her way up to the space that covered his heart.

He gripped her hand delicately. A gasped escaped her lips as she was brought back to reality.

"I'm sorry! I got lost in thought. I didn't mean to!" she exclaimed, slightly mortified.

He took her hand and placed his lips on her palm. Sakuno felt warmth of his lips spread to her palm and all the way up her arm. His eyes pierced through her, staring hungrily.

"No need to apologize. I actually prefer it when you touch me."

He let go of her hand to shed his dress shirt and started unbuckling his pants.

"I thought you wanted me to take-"

"It's fine. I can get the rest. I just wanted to see if you would do it if I asked," he said with a sly wink. She pouted.

"It's not very nice to tease me, Sasori-kun."

Stripped down to his boxers, Sasori turned to her.

"Coming from the woman who is always teasing me, I think it's only fair of me to do so."

Sakuno looked appalled.

"I do not tease you!"

He suddenly moved towards her with his face close to hers. Her mouth shut, silencing whatever she was about to say. It took her a second to realize that his boxers were now off, and they were both completely nude.

"You do, but you somehow manage to do it without even trying. That's how much of a hold you have on me."

He caressed her cheek softly with his eyes going from her lips back to her eyes.

"Every move you make seems to influence me. Under normal circumstances, that would upset me, but, for some reason, I don't mind it at all if it's you, but I suppose that's what happens when you adore someone."

Her eyes widened. Sasori was usually forward with his feelings primarily through actions. It was a rare occurrence when he used words to convey his raw emotions. She wasn't sure what made him want to express himself at that moment. Maybe it was the fact that this was the first time in a while they had been able to be alone with each other. Maybe he had been wanting to say this for a while but wanted to wait for the right time. Regardless of the reason, Sakuno was still touched by how open and vulnerable he was being.

"Sasori-kun..."

"Do you want to keep going?"

He wanted to make sure before they continued that Sakuno wanted this. Fully naked or not, he needed a yes from this beautiful young woman in front of him.

Sakuno smiled softly and nodded. She grabbed his cheeks with both of her hands and pressed a soft kiss to his lips.

"Yes. It's ok, Sasori-kun. You're always going at my pace, so I want you to go at your own pace tonight. I'll be ok. I know you'll take care of me regardless."

Sasori didn't say anything, but, with the way he took a deep breath and his nostrils flared, Sakuno knew what she said had pleased him greatly. He knew she meant every word of it.

"Then I'm going to continue, but I'll go slow, ok?"

And that is all that was said before Sasori kissed her. The kiss was soft and slow. Sasori lowered Sakuno to the bed as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He buried his hands in her hair deepening the kiss as if he were trying to devour her. Feeling his skin on hers lit a fire in her veins.

He moved away from her lips to her neck and began to lavish her neck with kisses. His hands began to wander down the length of her body, down her sides, her waist, and her hips. His hands wandered back up towards her chest, brushing the underside of her breasts. He caressed one breast gently and rubbed his thumb across the nipple. He felt Sakuno shiver. Goosebumps bloomed all over her skin.

Sasori peppered kisses gently down her neck to her chest. Placing a lingering kiss on her sternum, he kissed the top of her breast, purposely avoiding the nipple. He looked up at her as he lowered his mouth to brush his tongue against the hardened peak. Sakuno jolted, from his gaze or the sensation of his tongue she wasn't sure.

It seemed Sasori had had enough of taking his time before taking the nipple into his mouth. His other hand toyed with her other breast. Sakuno felt his tongue swirling as he sucked relentlessly and moaned breathlessly. Her back arched pressing more of her chest into his face while her hands were placed against his back. She felt the throbbing between her legs start to return. She knew that squirming and pressing her thighs together wasn't going to stop the heat she was feeling. She whispered his name as if pleading for relief.

It wasn't long before Sasori delivered the same treatment to the other breast, which, of course, didn't help Sakuno's case at all.

"You know," he began, detaching himself from her breast with one last lick, "I've always been curious about how you taste."

He moved down from her chest to place kisses on her stomach. Sakuno didn't respond, unsure of what to say. Her abdomen clenched reflexively from the ticklish feeling of his lips.

"I know was able to taste you a little in the car."

At this, Sakuno blushed as she recalled him licking his fingers clean of her essence.

"But I don't think that's enough for me."

Sakuno's eyes widened when she felt his kisses go lower and lower until…

Suddenly, she felt something wet brush across her folds. Her back arched off the bed as Sasori's tongue slithered across her clit. She sat up with a quickness reaching for his head to stop him.

"S-sasori-kun! Not there!"

"Oh?"

He gripped the back of her knees, and, before Sakuno knew it, he had spread her legs wide enough for him to see every inch of her. Even in the darkness of his bedroom, Sasori could see her fluids glisten in the moonlight from how wet she was, and her scent reached his nose. His mouth watered in anticipation of tasting her.

Sakuno tried to cover herself, not used to being so exposed, but Sasori wouldn't allow it.

"Don't you dare." His voice was stern, and it made Sakuno falter.

"Just lay back and let me take care of you like you said. You're going to love this. I promise."

"But," she paused, swallowing her nerves, "what if it doesn't taste good?"

He shook his head.

"If you taste anything like earlier, I somehow doubt you won't, but what better way to find out for sure then directly from the source?"

With that said, Sasori didn't give her a chance to reply before delving into her folds. He didn't lose his grip on her legs as he flicked the tip of his tongue firmly against her clit. Not too much or too little pressure but just enough.

Sakuno collapsed back against the bed. Her back arched and whimpers escaped from her mouth. Her hands managed to find their way into Sasori's hair. She wasn't sure if she should push his head away or pull it closer.

Everything she was feeling was completely new.

She had never had anyone go down on her, and, honestly, she thought it was a bit of a taboo to do so. Sasori seemed to know exactly what to do and what places to put pressure on. His lips followed his tongue to suck on her clit. The suction combined with movement of his tongue seemed to draw louder moans from her throat. Her hands pulled at the strands of his hair. He grunted, and she withdrew her hands immediately.

"I'm s-sorry! I-AH!" he ignored her apology in favor of speeding up the movement of his tongue. His hand left her leg to creep up to her breast. He began tweaking her nipple but never lost the rhythm of moving his tongue against her.

Pressure akin to the kind she felt earlier in the car began to build up within her once again. Some part of her wanted to run away from the pleasure, but Sasori's grip on her legs prevented her from closing them. The other part of her, however, seemed to relish in that feeling.

She looked down between her legs and was caught off guard at the pair of darkened brown eyes that met hers. Sasori was completely focused on what he was doing to her, but his eyes were on her instead. It was as if he wanted to see her reactions and take in every detail. It was almost unnerving how his gaze pierced into her, but it still managed to turn her on even more.

Her gaze broke from his when his tongue slithered its way inside of her, making her back arch.

"Mmm, Sasori-kun, p-please! I'm-"

Sasori, on his end, was loving every sound she made and the flavor of her. She had a subtle sweet taste about her, which made him want to taste more of her. Seeing and hearing her responses made it harder, literally, for him to be patient and not rush to be inside her. He wanted to take his time because he knew it would be worth the wait. She is worth the wait.

The redhead continued to move his tongue around inside to elicit more sounds from her. His chin was dripping with her fluids. He applied more pressure to bring her over the edge.

It was only a few seconds before Sakuno started to become undone. A loud moan found its way from her throat and she began to clench around Sasori's tongue. White lights danced across her vision and her body seized. She clawed at the bed.

He pulled back from her to pepper light pecks up her body until his face was in front of hers. Her eyes were closed as she tried to catch her breath.

"Are you okay?" he asked gently rubbing her cheek. Her eyes opened slightly.

She gave him a calm smile and leaned into his hand.

"Yeah. It just felt really good."

He smiled.

"I'm glad it did."

Wrapped his arms around her and began to kiss her once again. Her arms found their way around his neck. Sakuno tasted herself on his lips which was an interesting addition to his own flavor.

While their first time making love was passionate, this seemed different. It still felt passionate, but it felt as if there was something more to it. It felt like Sasori was being more assertive in his desire for her. Every touch and caress seemed to pull her into him as if to claim her.

Whether it was because it was no longer their first time doing it or because of the permission she gave him earlier, she was unsure. Nevertheless, she loved what appeared to be this more sensual side of Sasori. Perhaps, letting him take the reins this time wasn't such a bad idea.

Sasori broke their kiss to reach nightstand drawer to pull out a condom. He turned back to find Sakuno frowning. His eyebrow rose.

"Something wrong?"

She looked surprised for a second but directed her gaze to the condom.

"Already?" she asked. He began to frown now, slightly concerned.

"Do you not want to continue?"

Sakuno waved her hands in front of her.

"No! It's not that. Of course I do!"

She was blushing now.

"It's just…"

"Just?" he pressed. If she wanted to continue, then what was the problem?

"I was just wondering what about you?" He was confused as to what she was referring to.

"What do you mean?"

Her eyes lowered even further. Almost as if she were starting at his…

"What you did to me just now. Shouldn't I do the same to you?" She looked away unsure if she was making sense.

Oh, so that was it. She thought she had to return the favor and give him head. The thought of her slurping down his length with her delicate tongue wrapping around him was so satisfying, but he didn't want her to feel as if she was obligated to do it. Plus, she was still too innocent for that. Too wary about some aspects of sex that she had yet to explore.

He chuckled at how unsure she was, which then grew louder when she turned a glare at him. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to him to straddle his lap. He pecked her on the lips.

"As much as I would enjoy that, you don't have to. We can always try that later. It's not as if we have to rush. One step at a time. Alright?"

She bit her lip trying to ignore the feel of his pulsing member against her bottom.

"But what if I wanted to?"

Sasori stilled in shock and his mind went blank. He didn't expect her to say that, but now that she has…

He couldn't wait any longer.

He needed her.

Now.

"We will try it next time. I promise. Is that okay?"

She nodded and looked up at him from underneath her eyelashes.

He placed a hand on her hip.

"Now that that's settled," he began, "let's continue because I'm honestly ready to be inside of you right now."

Sakuno blushed madly when he started to grind against her. Her hands pressed against his chest.

"I told you! Don't say things like that out loud!"

Sasori placed his face in the crevice of her neck to hide his smirk.

Now that was a reaction he expected.

He started to rip the condom open.

"Well, it's the truth," he lowered her back to the mattress. He started to roll the condom onto his member. She touched both hands to his cheeks for a sense of comfort.

"I know, but it still can be-"

"Embarrassing? Yes, my love. I know."

His face neared hers as the gap between them seemed to close.

"Did you know that you're awfully cute when you're being teased."

His hand gripped the underside of her knee to lift leg, so he can settle more in between her legs.

There wasn't much separating from each other besides the condom.

Sakuno shook her head.

"I'm really not!"

"Oh, but I think you are, and it makes me want to do it even more."

His member pressed against her, startling her.

"In fact, watching you become so shy when you're in front of me like this is something that I thoroughly enjoy."

His hand gripped her hips while the other lined himself up to her entrance. She gulped nervously but her legs opened wider to accommodate him and what was about to happen.

"I want to see more of you, Sakuno. So much more."

He started to press forward more finally entering her slightly. Little by little, his member was pushed into her tight, wet heat.

Sakuno shifted uncomfortably.

She felt the uncomfortable stretching that was not as bad as their first time but it still stung, nonetheless. He was going slowly so she could get used to it. For that, she was grateful.

"So beautiful," he whispered as he gazed at her.

Once he was settled completely inside of her, he laid on top of her, careful not to crush her under his weight. He kissed her slowly, savoring both the feeling of her on his lips and being inside of her. He felt her velvety walls spasming around him as if they were attempting to push him out. His instincts were screaming at him to move and thrust into her, but he managed to keep a tight rein on them until Sakuno gave him the green light.

He planted a lingering kiss on her forehead.

"Does it hurt?"

Shaking her head, Sakuno smiled and planted a soft kiss on his cheek.

"I'm feeling alright."

She shifted and stopped abruptly. She inhaled sharply, feeling pleasure shoot up her spine. Sasori growled as he felt the same, but he didn't move an inch.

"Sasori-kun," she whimpered, her eyes hazy with lust. She wrapped her arms around him with her nails lightly scratching at his back.

Lustful blue met piercing brown.

"Please, keep going," she almost begged. He smiled at her and kissed her nose.

Leaning back, he lifted her legs and placed them in the crevice of his forearms.

"As you wish, my love."

His hips drew back to the tip then surged forward in an instant.

Pleasured sighs, soft moans, and loving words were the only things heard as the two lovers became one once again.

Their repeated affections broke the silence of the otherwise tranquil night.

All was as it should be.


Copper eyes fluttered open to slight rays of the sun peeking into the room. Sasori looked over to the clock on his nightstand to see it was a half past ten in the morning. To him, it was still a bit too early to be up especially since he decided to make today an off day.

He then felt a surprising lack of warmth on his side and turned over to check if Sakuno was there.

The magenta haired was not found.

Puzzled, he looked around the room and saw that her dress, shoes, and phone were still there. That suggested that she probably had not left. The open door and emptiness of his bathroom meant she was not in there either. He started to go see where his beautiful lover went until he stopped.

His ears picked up on a sudden noise coming from what he believed to be his kitchen.

That was more than likely where she was.

A sweet aroma filled his nostrils.

Baking this early? He thought to himself, curious. He wondered what would make her want to start baking. Professional baker or not, it was still early to be thinking about dessert.

He stretched slightly debating between going to see what she was doing and laying here until she came back.

As much as he did not want to get out of bed, he didn't really care much for waiting either. He rolled out of bed, searching for his boxers. Once he found them and secured them on his hips, he began to slowly make his way to the kitchen.

He peeked into the kitchen, careful not to alert the young woman to his presence. She was wearing one of his t-shirts and appeared to be moving carefully as if trying to not wake him up with her baking.

Sakuno had a piping bag in her hand, decorating whatever confection she had put her mind to make. He would keep some baking utensils and ingredients for her to use whenever she was inspired to try a new recipe. Honestly, it was a wonder that they hadn't decided to move in together.

He shook the thought from his head.

Moving in together would be way too fast for the both of them.

Or would it?

He filed that thought away to consider later then put his focus back on the magenta-haired woman.

Her back was to him so he couldn't see what she had baked. As usual, it smelled good even though Sasori was not a fan of sweets.

She then put the piping bag down to pick up another utensil. A few minutes passed before she let out triumphant sound.

"All done!" she exclaimed, still mindful of her volume.

He decided to make his presence know.

"Done with what exactly?"

She gasped and spun around. He noticed she was careful to keep her body in front of what she had made.

Was she trying to hide it or something?

"Sasori-kun! I didn't know you were up."

She glanced at the clock then back at him.

"Why are you up?"

Sasori leaned against the entryway of the kitchen.

"I just woke up, but I decided to get up because someone was no longer sleeping next to me."

She smiled sheepishly.

"I'm sorry. I was, um…"

"Baking?" he finished for her.

"Oh y-yes! That's right." He arched a brow at her. She was acting strange.

"Baking what exactly?" This question seemed to stop her.

"Um, nothing big. Just a recipe I was inspired to try."

"This early in the morning? You sure you aren't tired from last night's activities?" he said with a leer. She blushed. They both thought about the previous night and how many times they made love. Sasori certainly went at his pace. It was rougher than the last time but neither one of them was complaining.

"I'm a bit sore, but it's nothing I can't handle," she waved him off.

"Hm, then maybe you won't mind showing me what this new recipe is," he stated walking into the kitchen.

"I…I can't."

"And why not?" he stopped a few feet in front of her, waiting on her answer.

She bit her lip, pondering a way to answer this question before heaving a sigh.

"It was supposed to be a surprise."

He furrowed his brows.

"A surprise for who?"

She let out a tsk-ing sound.

"For you."

He blinked, unsure of what to say next. Sakuno continued.

"I was going to present it to you after lunch. I was hoping to get in bed right after I finished, but you woke up earlier than expected." Sasori nodded his understanding.

"Well, since the surprise is ruined, I suppose you should let me see it now then, right?"

She pouted before moving out of the way to present him with her creation.

Sasori's jaw dropped slightly.

Before him was a small, diamond-shaped personal cake covered in red icing with his trademark scorpion insignia as a design in black icing. Though he was unsure what flavor the cake was, he couldn't help but marvel at Sakuno's baking skills.

She was very good at what she did.

"I wanted to do something since your art exhibition was successful. I know you're not a huge fan of sweets, but I was unsure of what else to do."

She looked away and began to fidget with her fingers a little. She was nervous about his reaction.

Sasori was frozen as a feeling a warmth bloomed within his chest. Sakuno was always so considerate of him and the things he wanted. He always tried to match her in her selflessness, but she would find a way to outmatch him. While it didn't bother him at all, her actions just made him want to be able to return that affection she has managed to courageously give him tenfold despite what she had experienced in the past.

He honestly did not deserve her at times, but he would continually show her and whatever powers that be that he would do whatever he needed to show that he did.

"Well, what do you think?" Sakuno's voice broke him from his thoughts. His eyes were soft as he looked at her.

Sakuno jumped as she felt arms wrap tightly around her waist. His face was buried in her neck.

"Thank you," came his muffled but heartfelt reply. She smiled and rubbed his back, happy with his gratitude. He removed his face from her neck to gaze at her lovingly then moved forward to peck her on her forehead.

"So," he started, "What's the flavor?'

"Oh! I knew you didn't like anything too sweet, so I made a dark chocolate cake covered with a raspberry mirror glaze. Not too sweet, but the combination produces an excellent flavor," she explained in a calm, almost professional voice.

Sasori smirked. Ever the professional pâtissier.

"Well, thank you Pastry Chef Sakuno for your presentation," he said mockingly. She glared at him and hit him lightly on the arm.

"Shush. You know I can't help but go into chef mode when discussing my creations."

"I know, I know. Are you going to actually let me taste it now?"

She rolled her eyes but went to a drawer to pull out knife and fork. Cutting a small corner piece of the cake, she held it up to his lips on the fork. He opened his mouth to take a bite. He chewed carefully and the flavor exploded on his tongue. Sakuno was right when she said it wouldn't be terribly sweet. The tartness of the raspberry icing seemed to compliment the bitterness of the dark chocolate.

He hummed in delight.

"It's absolutely delicious."

Sakuno's eyes brightened.

"I'm happy you find it to be so!"

Sasori matched Sakuno's smile with his own.

"As delicious as this is, how about we make ourselves some breakfast and we enjoy dessert afterwards?"

Sakuno giggled.

"I think you mean brunch since it's almost 11:00 am."

Sasori glanced the clock. It was indeed 10 minutes until eleven.

He shrugged.

"I suppose you're right."

Sakuno smiled before she reached towards his face to brush some stray crumbs off the corner of his mouth. He grabbed her by her wrist only to lean in and plant a surprising kiss on her lips.

"Before I forget, thank you for the cake, my love. I truly appreciate your gift.

A soft smile grew on her face before she pushed herself on her tippy toes and gave him a kiss of her own.

"You're welcome, Sasori-kun."

I love you. She thought to herself. She wanted to say it, but she thought it might be too early in their relationship for her to say such strong words. Plus, he might not feel the same way. The thought made her heart twinge in pain.

"What are you thinking about?" Sasori questioned.

Sakuno blinked. She shook her head. Those were not the thoughts she should be happy when they were having such

"Oh nothing! I was thinking that we should go get brunch with Sayuri. She brought up the idea last night when I saw her at your show."

Sasori considered it for a moment. He didn't mind Sayuri's presence. Despite how much of a handful dealing with her personality could be, she was an authentically good person and, not to mention, Sakuno's best friend.

"That sounds like a plan," he agreed. Sakuno closed the refrigerator after putting the cake up.

"Perfect! I'll text her to see if she's still interested in going, and we can get ready to go."

Sakuno began to clean, but Sasori stopped her.

"How about I clean this up and you go ahead and get dressed?"

"Are you sure? I'm the one who made a mess of the kitchen."

Sasori brushed his thumb against her knuckles.

"I know, but I want to. It's the least I could do since you put so much work into making my cake."

Sakuno was silent for a second before nodding.

"Ok, fine. I'll let you know what Sayuri says, and we'll go from there."

She planted a kiss on his cheek and walked towards the bedroom to wash up with a slight spring in her step.

Sasori watched her walk away. He turned to the kitchen to begin the cleaning process, feeling lighter than he usually does.

It was already shaping up to be a great day.


Author's Note: That concludes Part 3 of chapter one. I'm so happy to be done with this chapter. Like the title says, I plan on making this a series of stories centered around Sakuno and Sasori. Hopefully, the future chapters won't be as long but only time and my imagination will tell. I really hope you enjoyed this first chapter. Bonus points for anyone who can guess where I got the name of this chapter from.

The lyrics at the beginning of this chapter are from the song Breathless by Jude Demorest and Luke James from the show Star. This song is so beautiful, so I hope you listen to it. I, also, do not own this song.

Please be sure favorite, follow, and leave a review! Love y'all!
