LEMONS AHEAD
"Sasuke, get up," I heard her say to me. I blinked my eyes open to see her move to turn off her phone's alarm.
"5 minutes."
"I'll get ready first, but you have to get up after I'm done."
"Hn." She got up and left for the bathroom while I laid there lazily. I didn't fall back asleep so I just laid there, waiting for Sakura to finish up in the bathroom. It was 8:30 in the morning, we had slept for about 9 hours, though we'll probably go back to sleep once we get home. Yesterday, hell this entire week, had been draining. I realized that Sakura was probably more tired than me since she fought Sasori yesterday, but she still let me rest some more.
I realize now that I'm kind of an asshole for making her go first.
I got up and gathered some clothes when I heard the shower turn off. I went in after she came out and looked at myself in the mirror while I brushed my teeth. My hair was its usual spiky mess and my eyes were tired, still in need of some rest. I finished up and stripped off my clothes before stepping into the shower. The warm water fell over me as I washed myself for a while before stepping out and drying myself. I slipped on a hoodie and some pants and exited the bathroom to be greeted by Sakura and our bags.
"I packed your stuff," she told me with a small smile. I nodded and grabbed our stuff as we exited the room. I stuffed our bags in the trunk of our car while Sakura dropped the key off at the front desk. Once she got back, we got into the car and drove off to the airport. As we drove, she looked out of the window, absorbing all she could about the area.
"You really like it here that much?" I asked her.
"Not really," she said, turning to me, "I like that we made a difference."
"A lot of it was you, you know."
"That's not true, the entire PD was on this. The Commissioner, even as old as he is, was working alongside all of us," she took my free hand in hers, "you did a lot too, Sasuke."
"Ok, I get it, group effort and all that."
"Exactly!"
"Don't yell I'm still half-asleep."
"Sorry," she apologized before looking out the window again. We reached the airport 5 minutes later and dropped the car off before going inside. We passed through security rather quickly and made it to our gate at 9:40 AM, 20 minutes before boarding started.
"You know we could've slept for 20 more minutes if you were better with time," I told Sakura, who stuck out her tongue at me in response. We made our way to some empty seats in front of our gate and settled down. I felt my my phone ring as I went to sit down and saw Naruto's name ring across the screen.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Sasuke!"
"Is there a reason you called?"
"I need a reason to call my best friend?"
"Forget it, what is it?"
"You sound like you're falling asleep."
"I pretty much am. I'm tired as hell."
"I saw the news, figured I'd call about it. You and Sakura are really good at catching bad guys!"
"Thanks, is that all?"
"Why won't you talk to me, you jerk!"
"Cause you keep yelling at me."
"I do not!"
"You just yelled that sentence."
"You know I'm a loud person!"
"Unfortunately."
"Whatever, see you when you get back!"
The blonde hung up the phone as I slumped back in my seat. However, I saw a couple of kids staring at me with a newspaper in their hands. I saw the front page of the paper and realized why these kids were staring at me. The front page was a picture of me and Sakura at the amusement park after arresting Sasori. It was a picture of Sakura leaning on my shoulder with a blanket draped over her while the commissioner was talking to us. The title read "Savior's of Baton Rouge". The boy and girl got up and walked over to me and Sakura holding the newspaper.
"Excuse me," the young girl started. Sakura turned her head around and smiled at the girl before kneeling down in front of her.
"Can we help you?" The pinkette asked.
"Me and my brother were wondering, are you the people on the paper?" The girl held up the paper so that Sakura could see.
"Yes, that's us," she responded.
"Wow! That's so cool!" The little girl gushed as she started barraging Sakura with questions. I laid my head back and let Sakura take care of the questions since that stuff was never a strength of mine. However, the little boy had other plans.
"Did you really catch the bad guy?" He asked me.
"Yeah, kid," I answered.
"Wow..." He trailed off. I looked down and saw admiration in his eyes as he stared at me.
"Oh! We're so sorry!" A man and woman, presumably these kids' parents, came up to us. "We hope they didn't bother you."
"Not at all!" Sakura answered politely.
"Zachary, Samantha, let's go," their father told them while still apologizing to us.
"Wait!" The little boy cried out, hugging my leg, surprising me and his parents. "You're a hero, mister! When I grow up, I wanna be just like you!" He shouted. I didn't know how to respond to him, how do you respond to something like that. Yet, I surprised myself when I reached my hand out and ruffled the kid's hair.
"Be better than me," I told him. He nodded happily and went back to his waiting parents. They walked away but the boy turned looked back at me and waved with a huge grin on his face.
"That was sweet," The pinkette next to me told me.
"Hn."
Soon after, boarding for our flight began. Sakura and I gathered our belongings and waited in line before getting to our seats in the plane.
"I'm ready to go home," she yawned as she laid her head onto my shoulder.
"Me too," I replied with my own yawn before closing my eyes as the plane took off from land.
...
"Sasuke."
I blinked my eyes open to see Sakura looking up at me. I looked around to see that most of the plane was empty.
"Where'd everyone go?" I asked her as I rubbed my eyes.
"They already got off."
"Oh."
"We should probably get off, too."
We got up from our seats and grabbed our bags before exiting the almost empty aircraft.
"We're did we park?" She asked me as we exited the airport and walked towards the parking lot.
"C6, I think." We walked to the area where I believed we had parked and found Sakura's Toyota waiting for us. I loaded our bags into the trunk while she started the car up, firing up the engine and shaking the cobwebs off. I settled into the passenger seat and she drove off.
"Still tired?" She asked as I gazed out of window.
"Not anymore," I answered as I enjoyed the sunlight Jacksonville provided me with. Baton Rouge was always cloudy, which is a fine change of pace, but I grew up under the Jacksonville sun.
"Good, cause we have paperwork tomorrow."
I groaned and slouched back into the seat. "Did you have to remind me?"
"Sorry," she giggled as we stopped at a red light.
"We deserve a day off for catching Sasori, this is bullshit."
"Stop whining, Sasuke."
"This is all your fault."
"Oh? Care to explain how?"
"If you had just knocked him out and hid him somewhere until Friday we could've just come back on a weekend."
"So if I had just killed him and hid his body for a couple of days, we could've come back on a Friday, what a perfect plan!"
"I don't enjoy your sarcasm."
"I'm sorry, sweetheart, can you forgive me?"
I growled at her in return as she pulled into the parking lot. We took our bags and walked up the stairs to the apartment. We were finally home and I could relax for the rest of the day. I threw my bags into my room and collapsed onto the couch face first while Sakura laid her bags down and sat next to me.
"Want some food?" She asked me as she turned on the TV and got up. I caught her arm and pulled her back down.
"I'll order something," I told her as I grabbed my phone. She sat down and flipped through some channels.
"Order pizza," I heard her mutter.
"Your wish is my command," I responded, dialing the number of the nearest local place. For a little bit we just laid there, watching some random movie while we waited for nourishment to arrive. Finally being able to relax was a nice change of pace for both of us after the last week. After a half-hour, I buzzed the delivery guy in and collected our food from him.
"Finally, I'm starving," she gushed as I set down the box on the table. She got some orange juice from the fridge for herself while handing me a beer.
She knew me so well.
I flipped the cap off and drained half the bottle in one gulp.
"Don't drink too fast," she scolded.
"I do what I want," I muttered in response. She rolled her eyes and sat back, leaning on me for support as her emerald eyes sparkled up at me.
...
I opened my eyes to see almost complete darkness surrounding me. The only bright thing in the room was the bundle of pink on my shoulder, but her eyes were closed. We must've fallen asleep on the couch without even realizing it. The TV was still on, playing a detective movie. I carefully reached for my phone and checked the time. It was 1 AM, we had been sleeping for a while. I guess I was still tired, though I thought for sure that I was awake before we had gotten our food.
Maybe the pizza guy drugged our food or something, it wouldn't be the first time someone tried poisoning my food.
Seriously, Kakashi's cooking was so bad I was sure he was secretly trying to kill me.
I laid my head back and stared at the ceiling, recounting mine and Sakura's encounters with the Akatsuki. In Fort Myers, Deidara almost killed me and Sakura with an explosive he had put together in the spur of the moment. He only had a couple of minutes at best to assemble it, yet it still almost got the job done, I had to admit that was impressive. Still, it failed in the end and I beat Deidara in a battle where he literally tried to blow up a building onto me. He warned me about future dangers, and he wasn't lying. Sasori lured us to Baton Rouge by brutally murdering two men and almost killing Grace Hargreaves. Sakura knocked him out in a fight and he told us that the next two work in a pair. That was just yesterday.
It occurred to me that only Sakura and I were aware of the danger the Akatsuki posed to us and those around us. Deidara warned me not to get the FBI or police involved, but I had to tell Naruto and Kakashi, maybe even the others since the Akatsuki might use them to lure me out. I had to tell them as soon as possible, maybe the next time we get together at Minato and Kushina's house would be a good time since we would all be there.
"Sasuke?" I heard her voice say.
"I'm here," I murmured.
"Did we fall asleep on the couch?"
"We did."
"Oh," she responded while rubbing her eyes.
"Bed?"
"Yeah."
We got up and dragged our tired bodies to the bed, dropping ourselves onto the soft mattress. She settled in close to me as I draped my arm around her.
"Good night," She whispered as we drifted off.
...
The alarm was not a welcome sound for me or Sakura. Neither of us wanted to budge when the alarm bell sounded across the room.
"Sasuke?"
"Hm?"
"Can we stay home today?"
"Yeah." I reached over and turned my phone's alarm off before settling back into bed.
...
The next time I woke up I could tell that it was at least 12 PM from the amount of sunlight in our room. I definitely wasn't tired anymore, though that didn't mean I felt like getting up. I just laid there for 10 minutes, savoring the comfort of my own bed and the sweet smell of cherries coming from the girl next to me. I checked my phone and saw that I had a couple of missed calls from Jugo, but I couldn't be bothered to call him back right now. Instead I gave my attention to the waking pinkette.
"Morning," she whispered to me as she stirred.
"Afternoon," I answered.
"What?!" She yelled in shock, sitting up and scrambling to check her phone. "It's 12:30!" She exclaimed, gazing at me with wide eyes.
"Congratulations, you can tell time," I muttered.
"We're late for work!" She cried out.
"Well you're the one who wanted to skip work."
"Huh?"
"You asked me if we could stay home and we did, so calm down."
"B-but-"
I pulled her down onto my lips and held her there for a bit before letting go.
"Relax," I told her.
"I just don't want to be fired."
"Do you really think Ibiki would fire the girl who took down Sasori of the Red Sand or the guy who took down Deidara?"
"But what if he does?"
"The higher-ups wouldn't let that happen, besides Ibiki knows if he ever tried to fire me I would kill him with my bare hands."
She laughed and settled back next to me, taking hold of my arm. I locked eyes with her and found myself being taken prisoner by her emerald orbs. Her eyes shone back at me, entrancing me in them as I laid there next to her.
"You know you're the only man I've ever seen that can be classified as beautiful," she whispered to me, bringing a rush of heat to my face.
"Um, yeah," I responded, trying to hide the blush that covered my entire face. But when she started laughing I knew I didn't hide it well enough to escape her attention.
"Aw, Sasuke," she cooed while pinching my cheek.
"Ow! Stop it!" I protested, blushing even harder. She laughed in response, knowing that I would react like this. She calmed down after that and we laid there together. I twirled her pink hair around my fingers as she tucked her head under my chin.
"Taking the day off was a good idea," she sighed contently.
"It was," I agreed.
"We should probably get up at some point, though."
"Later."
"Later," she echoed as she leaned up and met my lips. I responded automatically, slipping my tongue inside of her mouth, eliciting a moan from her. Our lips stayed together as I moved on top of her. She hooked my boxers with her feet and kicked them off of me, drawing a chuckle from me in the process. She moved against my mouth fervently as I removed her undergarments, leaving nothing covering her forbidden fruit. I could tell she was ready from her movements, how she raised her hips and pulled me into an even deeper cry. I traced her slit with my fingers while using my free hand to remove her bra and throw the obstacle aside.
Her body bucked when I slipped my fingers inside of her. She moaned as my lips encompassed her breasts. Her body responded to my every touch while my name was all she could moan.
"Don't sto-oh, oh, Sasuke," she whispered as I found her sweet spot. I moved up and planted kisses on her neck, nibbling a little bit here and there.
"Sasuke, I'm gonna-" She started, but I cut her off with my lips and removed my fingers.
"Not yet," I whispered into her ear before looking her in the eyes and smirking. She opened her mouth to protest, but I quickly sealed it with my still smirking lips. "Sakura," I whispered, positioning my hands on the bed, "Can you answer something for me?" She nodded, biting her lower lip.
I leaned in close and laid my forehead on hers before asking my question.
"Are you mine?"
Her mouth curved upwards and her eyes shimmered as she cradled my face with her soft hands.
"Only if you're mine," she whispered back before pulling me down onto her lips. We kissed as I opened her legs and positioned myself, my member aching for her. Once she let my lips go free, I whispered only one word.
"Good."
She silently screamed as I went inside of her. Immediately, her arms went around me so that she could steady herself. I drove into her again, causing her to shut her eyes and wrap her legs around my waist. I claimed her lips with mine and went in again and again, absorbing all of her moans and cries as her hands grabbed my hair.
"Oh!" She yelled out, not able to keep herself mute any longer. She dug her nails into my back as her cries grew more frequent.
"Sasuke!" Her muffled voice cried out as she almost screamed into my mouth, "I'm gonna cum!"
She covered her mouth with both hands as she finished, keeping her noises so that only the two of us could hear them. She was panting heavily, like she had just ran a marathon without breaks, but I could still make out what she was saying.
"Again," she breathed, gasping for air.
"My pleasure," I replied, flipping her over. And just like that, we were at it again. I held her in place while she dug her face into a pillow to silence herself. I drove into her harder and faster than before, eliciting quite loud reactions from the pinkette. If she didn't have her face buried in a pillow, the entire floor would've woken up and yelled at us. I grunted and growled as I secured my hands onto her back to keep myself upright. I went in particularly hard one time, causing Sakura to bolt upright and throw her head back in a silent scream. I covered her mouth with one hand and used the other to secure her against me while I, to put it into Leonardo DiCaprio's words, fucked her goddamn brains out.
I'm just being honest.
"Sasuke," she gasped, letting me know that she was nearing completion. When I went in again, she gasped loudly and covered the hand I had over her mouth with her own. Her walls suffocated my member to the point where I finished with her, gasping for oxygen. She collapsed onto the bed face first with me following right after. She winced as I removed myself from her and rolled off of her. We laid there until our breathing was good enough so that we weren't literally gasping for oxygen.
She laid her head onto my chest as I returned to twirling her pink locks with my finger.
"This is my favorite thing to do," she said after a little bit.
"Laying on me while I play with your hair?"
"Being with you."
"Yeah I guess being with you is pretty cool sometimes," I replied sarcastically. She smacked my arm but laughed while she did so. Of course I was joking, she makes everything better, anyone who knew her would say that. She leaned up and pressed her lips to my cheek before getting up.
"I'm going to shower," she declared while stretching her limbs. She opened the door but didn't go inside. "Are you coming?" She asked with a mischievous grin plastered on her face. I smirked and rose from the bed, following her inside.
