A Scarlet Exchange

The festival had lasted late into the evening, Hinata had had so much fun that she had lost track of time, she couldn't help but giggle as she reflected back on the number of times Naruto teased Sasuke about her. She noticed Sasuke liked to delve into his own thoughts once in a while and a peak of curiosity sparked in her.

What could he be thinking about? She was also guilty of delving into her thoughts and it would be at that point, she would feel his lips against her ear, murmuring,

"What are you thinking about?" Of course, this elicited a fierce blush from her and there were a couple of times where she nearly squealed because he nibbled on her ear. Whenever, she looked at him sourly, he would return her look with his own cocky smirk, fully aware of what he was doing.

She couldn't ignore however how it sent her body ablaze.

Ino and Sakura pulled her away from Sasuke several times, wanting to know more about Sasuke and her. Hinata told them everything they wanted to know but did not mention that she had spent the night over his house, she wanted to keep that private.

And when Sasuke took her home, he presented her with a small bag. "Here."

Hinata looked at him, shocked and he cocked an eyebrow at her. "W-what is this?"

"Just open it." Sasuke said with a smirk. The indigo-haired beauty opened the bag to find a flower hair pin inside, she smiled warmly at her boyfriend and took it out.

"Y-you didn't h-have to do this."

"So, what now you don't like it?" He teased.

"N-no!" she said quickly. "I love it. T-thank you." She pinned part of her back with it and Sasuke nodded.

"Looks nice." She leaned over the seat, placing a hand on his hand and kissed him shyly. The Uchiha deepened the kiss, running his hand through her hair and she wrapped her arms around his neck. They broke and she heard him suck in a deep breath. "Night."

She nodded and giggled as he poked her forehead. "G-good night." Hinata stepped out of the car, looking back at the Uchiha and couldn't stop thinking about how perfect everything was.

The next morning however was a different story. Hinata woke up with body aches, sniffles, scratchy throat and a blistering headache. Not to mention, she also felt a little feverish. Hinata dialed Kurenai and her boss at the bakery, calling in sick. She had on a baggy white shirt with a pair of shorts.

Hinata sauntered to the living room with a box of tissues and a blanket around her body. She brewed a cup of barley tea and ate the left over rolled omelet she made a couple of days ago. She plopped down on the couch, sipping a cup of tea and watched television.

Hinata texted Sasuke.

"At home, sick"- Hinata.

XXXX

Sasuke's face remained buried in the pillow as his hand reached for his phone as it vibrated on the nightstand. He lifted up to read Hinata's text message and pursed his lips. Sasuke rolled over in bed and texted her back.

'" I'll be over in a few"- Sasuke.

He set his phone to the side and rubbed his temples. It was safe to say, he had it pretty damn bad for Hinata. Normally when anyone got sick, he would just tell them to take care of themselves but not with her.

He cared about the petite woman… at lot more than he would admit out loud. Hell, he had not bought a woman anything in his life. However, he couldn't help but have some inclining to buy the hair pin for her when he saw it at the seller's stand.

But, he also found himself desiring her as well. Those peach full lips and doe eyes made him want to devour her and the desire grew more and more each time they kissed.

He had to also admit that this was the first time for him. No woman had ever aroused him so. He was going to have her soon. Sasuke got out of bed, slipping on a pair of pants and he shoved his laptop into a bag.

He had things to work on for her boss. The Uchiha grabbed his pack of cigarettes, shoving them in his pocket and headed out. He figured his girlfriend had anything to combat her cold so he stopped by the store and picked up a cold medicine and soup.

The cashier looked at him and the cold medicine. He just gave the man the ugliest look he could muster, begging for him to say something about how he didn't look sick and the man took the hint.

Sasuke grimaced as he headed over to Hinata, thinking to himself about how she broke him.

XXXX

Hinata smiled upon reading Sasuke's text message, she had taken some Tylenol for her headache and thank heaven, and it was subsiding. She tried to rack her brain on how she had gotten sick, it wasn't like she had been around anyone who had recently caught a cold.

Nor did she eat anything that was undercooked at the festival so it couldn't be food poisoning. The only conclusion she could come up with it was it being one of those out of the blue things. Her phone rang, the caller ID read: Ino and she picked it up.

"Hello?" Her voice came out a little weak more than she would have liked.

"Are you alright, Hinata?" Ino asked, concerned.

"Y-yeah, I-I'm just not feeling well today." Hinata said with a smile. "But, d-don't worry about me."

"I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Well, I wanted to call and let you know that we had an awesome time last night with you two. Do you need me to come over and bring you anything?"

"N-no, ano… S-Sasuke is coming over."

"Oh." Ino said excited. "Well, I'm sure he will fix your cold right up." Hinata turned ten shades of red.

"N-no, i-it's not like that." She stammered.

"Uh huh." Ino giggled. "Talk to you later." Before Hinata could say anything, Ino hung up the phone and Hinata pouted. She placed her phone next to her, pulling her legs up to her chest and rested her chin on her knees.

Hinata had considered it with Sasuke. It made her heart speed up as she thought about it. She had never been with anyone before and in a way, it made her scared. But, it was something she was willing to try with the Uchiha.

A knock at the door broke her away from her thoughts and she got off the couch.

"C-coming!"

XXXX

Sasuke waited at the door, his hands were in his pockets and his eyes flickered to the door as he heard her unlock it. He took in the sight of Hinata, her nose was red and she was pale. Sasuke smirked at her, leaning over and went to kiss her when she turned away and he ended up, kissing her cheek.

He growled in dissatisfaction. "What? You afraid for me to kiss you."

"I- I don't want you to get sick." Hinata defended.

"Uchihas never get sick." Sasuke said, turning her face to him. He pressed his lips against hers and she gave in. She was soft against him, he rolled out his tongue and ran it across her bottom lip. He heard her gasp, breaking away and he chuckled at her tomato face. "I stopped by the store."

"Y-you…." She peaked inside the bag as he walked inside and closed the door behind him. "You d-didn't have to."

"Shut up, Hinata." The Uchiha stated, she smiled at him warmly and Sasuke crossed his arms. "Did you eat anything?"

"Un. I was j-just laying d-down on the couch."

"I see. Take your medicine." He commanded. Hinata giggled, taking it out of the box and he sat down on the couch. She came back, sitting on the couch with her legs tucked in and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Do you work today?"

"Yeah, your boss wants me to do a couple of other stuff. So, I brought my laptop."

"And what a-about the s-strip club?"

"I don't work today."

"Oh." She mouthed. He reached over a hand and placed it against her forehead.

"What the hell, Hinata? You're burning up." Sasuke growled. "Where are your wash cloths?"

"In t-the basket in t-the bathroom."

"Be back." He got up, going into her bathroom and ran the sink till the water got as cold as possible. He wet the wash cloth and then headed back into the living room. Hinata peered over the couch, following him with her opal eyes and he sat back down next to her. The Uchiha brushed her bangs back and placed the wash cloth on her forehead. She sighed.

"T-that feels nice." She admitted. She reached up her hand, holding the wash cloth against her forehead and he could tell she wasn't wearing a bra despite her baggy shirt. He would have teased her about it but he suspected she was already suffering enough.

XXXX

The wash cloth may had been cold but Hinata felt warm. She smiled to herself, thinking about how Sasuke was concerned about her and she closed her eyes. Hinata rested her head against Sasuke's shoulder and his arm came around, pulling her closer.

And before she knew it, she drifted off to sleep.

XXXX

Sasuke could hear Hinata's faint breathing against him as she slept, he glanced at her as he worked and scrutinized her. She was cute even asleep. For a brief moment, he considered how it would be if he could be like this every day with Hinata.

The thought surprised him. He never really considered marriage before, then again he hadn't met the right woman until she came along. She was changing even his viewpoints. Before now, he would have scoffed at anyone who said they could see him getting married and now… not so much.

Hell, he didn't just date any woman. He was the type of man to date the woman he would marry. He did not know the future between him and Hinata and he certainly didn't believe in destiny but he could see the idea becoming a strong possibility with her.

If Naruto or anyone saw him like this, they would flip out…. not that he cared. He smirked to himself, adjusting the wash cloth on her forehead and she grabbed his hand, mumbling his name. He leaned over, pressing his face against her hair, catching a whiff of her intoxicating scent.

He wondered how long she would be out for.

XXXX

Hinata didn't know how long she was out but when she woke up, Sasuke glanced at her. "Welcome back to the world, sleeping beauty."

She turned ten shades of red and took the wash cloth off her forehead. "H-how long was I-I asleep?"

"A couple of hours." Sasuke shrugged. Hinata felt a little better after the nap and Sasuke's medicine. She started to get off the couch and the Uchiha hissed.

"Where are you going?"

"I-I have to g-go use the bathroom. I'll be b-back."

"Hn."

"Please, g-go in the kitchen and h-help yourself if you're hungry." Sasuke gave her slight nod and she went to the bathroom. When she came back, she curled up to Sasuke and he welcomed her. She caught sight of his tattoo on his neck and reached up her hand, touching it slightly.

He stiffened.

"I-I'm sorry." She muttered. She began to pull away but he grabbed her wrist.

"Stop apologizing. If you want to see my tattoos then just say it." Hinata chewed on her lower lip and nodded. He let go of her wrist, their eyes never left one anothers and she brushed back the collar of his shirt, fully exposing the tattoo. Her fingers traced the outline of the tattoo.

"H-how long have you had this tattoo?"

"I don't quite recall, twelve I think."

"T-twelve!" Hinata asked shocked. He chuckled. "D-didn't that hurt?"

"No, not really." Sasuke shrugged. "I have another one on my arm of a snake."

"D-do they mean anything?"

"I was a bit rebellious when I was a child and got into a lot of trouble." Sasuke admitted as a scowl settled in. "Why so fascinated with my tattoos."

"I-I thought a-about getting one." The Uchiha snorted as he bit back a threatening chuckle and Hinata gave him a sour look. "W-what?"

"Princess, I can't see you getting one."

"I-I almost got o-one." Hinata defended. "I-I went into a t-tattoo parlor and w-was ready to get one."

"Oh and what happened?"

"I saw the n-needle and c-couldn't imagine myself s-sitting there for it."

"You're such a chicken." He poked her nose. "What were you going to get?"

"A-a sunflower in remembrance f-for my mother, I wanted it on my w-wrist." Hinata explained.

"I'll go with you." Sasuke sighed. "If you want it that bad."

"R-really, okay." Hinata beamed. "Ano… Sasuke?"

"Yes?"

"W-what does your s-snake tattoo look like?" She saw Sasuke's dark obsidian eyes meet hers once more and a silence was exchanged between them.

XXXX

Sasuke stared at his sick girlfriend, she looked better than when he first came and his lip twitched into a smirk. "You want me to take my shirt off?"

"I-I…." He watched her become flustered and brought her eyes together, pressing two fingers together.

"You just want to see my body." He teased. Sasuke reached up his hand, unbuttoning his shirt halfway and he watched Hinata turn red at the sight. Their eyes met one more and he took his arm out of the sleeve. "There." Hinata reached out a hand, touching the black snake and then her fingers wandered to the scars on his chest.

"W-what are these from?"

"Troubled youth." Sasuke said, "It's in the past." His eyes almost rolled as her fingers traced the outline of the biggest scar descending down his sternum to his mid-section and he grabbed her shoulders. She looked at him, shocked and he pulled her against him.

"We can't do this." He whispered huskily.

XXXX

Hinata could tell by the darkening of Sasuke's eyes that he wanted much more out of her. She licked her dry lips, "I wouldn't m-mind." She turned redder than ever before and Sasuke pursed his lips.

"Have you ever been with a man before?"

"N-no" Sasuke's chest swelled with pride that he would be her first. There was another silence exchanged between the two.

"You can stop me anytime." Sasuke informed. Hinata nodded, Sasuke leaned in and pressed his lips against hers fiercely. She was taken aback by it but gave in. His tongue glided across her lips, begging for entrance in her mouth and she allowed it. Hinata moaned as his tongue invaded her mouth, she rested her hands on his shoulders and his hands ran down her shift to the end. Her heart was beating so loudly in her chest, her body growing excited and scared at the same time. Sasuke's hands disappeared inside of her shirt as he broke the kiss and his lips moved down the column of her throat.

"Sasuke…oh." She breathed. She ran her hands down his back, allowing her fingers to trail up and down his spine. He groaned in pleasure and she yelped when his teeth nipped at the soft flesh in between her collar bone.

He chuckled, "sensitive?"

XXXX

Her skin was like silk underneath his touch, her skin was sweeter than anything he had ever tasted and his hands cupped her breasts. She moaned loudly, her face was flushed now and he squeezed them lightly. Sasuke ran his thumbs over her buds, allowing them to harden and then pinched them lightly. She gasped.

"S-Sasuke!" He pulled away from her, taking his hands out of her shirt and her chest rose and fell rapidly. She leaned in, pressing her lips against his again and he pushed her onto the couch, climbing on top of her. Hinata ran her hands over his chest, her touch was so delicate and tender.

"Take off your shirt." He murmured against her lips. Hinata froze for a minute, he could see hesitation in her face and pulled away. He wanted to be sated but not at her expense. "We can stop."

"I-it's okay." Hinata managed to get out. "I-I'm just a little… scared. "

"I'll make all your fears melt away." He assured. He meant that more than anything. She nodded, lifting up her arms and taking her shirt off. He stared at her body, at her flat stomach and ample breasts.

She was perfect.

Hinata covered herself immediately and he smirked. "Don't hide, Princess." Sasuke leaned down, pressing his lips against her belly and dipped his tongue in her belly button. "I'll share something with you."

He sucked on her soft skin causing her to moan more and more. "I may have been with women before but I have never had sex with one." He looked up to see Hinata giving him a baffled look.

"Y-you're a virgin?" His face distorted at that word. He wasn't exactly one, many women had given him blow jobs and he had inserted his fingers into a woman's sex before, made her climax in his hand but he had never stuck his penis inside a woman. He never really felt the desire to penetrate until now.

"Something like that. You'll be the first, Hinata." Hinata smiled at him warmly, it was something he found himself very fond of and he trailed his lips up her body. Her hands covered her breasts and he licked in between the cracks of her fingers. "Move your hands."

XXXX

Hinata was glad that Sasuke was honest with her, his lips on her skin made her hotter than ever before and she moved her hands. The Uchiha covered the tip of her breasts with his mouth and began to tortuously suck on it. His other hand played with her breast. She squirmed underneath him, unable to control the moaning escaping from her lips.

"Sasuke!" Her body jolted when his teeth grazed against the tip and then moved to the other breast to give it the same treatment. She ran her hands through his raven locks, his lips crashed back into hers when he was finished and he tossed his shirt to the side.

"Let's go to your bedroom." She gasped when he lifted her up in his arms and headed for the bedroom. She giggled, breaking the kiss and burying her face in his neck. He laid her down on the edge of the bed and their mouths met once more. She heard the unbuckling of his pants and felt his hands pull down her shorts. They were both stripped down to their underwear.

XXXX

Sasuke pulled away, taking in her slender frame and his hands rested on both sides of her legs. He parted her legs, nestling in between them and Hinata wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Are you on birth control?" He asked.

"I-I am." Hinata admitted. Thank heaven, he didn't want to get her pregnant right now. The Uchiha rubbed himself against her panties and she gasped at the feeling of his hardened length against her entrance.

"I want you wet for me." Sasuke moaned. He could feel her soaking with each grind.

"P-please." She begged. Her body arching with each grind. He removed their underwear and inserted two fingers into her sex. She was so tight. Hinata gasped, grabbing his wrist and he saw her face twist in pain and pleasure. "I-it hurts a little."

"Just try to get used to it." Hinata nodded as he pushed his fingers in deeper, he could feel self-control waning as he imagined how her walls would clench his penis. He began to pump his fingers in and out of her and her hips moved with his hand. She grabbed his shoulder and began to moan his name. The Uchiha purred at the sight.

"Sasuke, I-I…" She found herself wanting more than just his fingers. He pulled his fingers out of her moistened sex, positioning himself and with one deep thrust entered her. Hinata gasped, her nails dug in his shoulders but he didn't care. Sasuke grunted,

"Hinata." He began to move slowly in and out of her and her hips followed his. Soon, Hinata began to whimper in pleasure and his movements increase in speed and intensity. Sasuke grabbed her legs, placing them on his shoulders and he hit the end of her. She screamed,

"S-Sasuke!"

"Hinata." The room spun around her, leaving only Sasuke and she stable and the air grew hot and heavy. It was painful for her at first but now she could not ignore the overwhelming feeling of ecstasy. She looked at Sasuke who stared at her with lustful eyes as he penetrated her over and over again. She reached out for him and he leaned over so she could hold him. He buried his face in her neck, changing angles and she sighed. It was not too long afterwards, they both reached their climax and Sasuke let out a low groan. She could feel him empty inside of her, the feeling made her blush even more (if that was possible) and Sasuke looked at her after a few moments.

"You were amazing." He said with a teasing smirk. Hinata's legs were now rolled off him and settled on each side of him. "Are you okay?"

"I-I am." Hinata confirmed. The feeling of afterwards was indescribable, he pulled out of her, both of them moaning at the loss of contact. The Uchiha couldn't describe the feeling of being with her at that moment and it was at that moment, he began to think their relationship was developing into something much more than he anticipated. He put back on his pants and underwear and went into the living room, retrieving his shirt.

"Here." He tossed it to Hinata as he put back on her underwear. "You can wear it." Hinata nodded, giving him another sweet smile.

XXXX

After Hinata put on Sasuke's shirt, she laid down on the bed and Sasuke laid down with her, propped up on one elbow. His arm snaked around her waist and he stroked her hair, allowing the strands to run through his fingers.

"How is that cold?" He teased. She giggled.

"I'm o-okay." As soon as she said that, she sneezed and Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Don't overdo it."

"I-I won't." She promised. Her phone rang causing the two to perk up and Sasuke tightened his grip on her, nibbling on her lobe.

"Ignore it."

"But, I-I don't even know who it i-is." Hinata wiggled out of his hold, his growled and she went into the living room, grabbing her phone off the couch. Her eyes widened as the caller ID read: Hiashi Hyuuga.

Why was her father calling her? She answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hinata, it seems long since I have spoken with you." Hiashi spoke. "Neji tells me you are doing considerably well."

"I-I am." Sasuke wondered who she was talking to and he brushed her hair over her shoulder.

"Who is that?" He mouthed.

"My father." She mouth back. Sasuke nodded and leaned down, pressing his lips against her neck.

"I think it is about time, you come back and see the family." Hiashi stated. Hinata was rendered speechless. "When do you want to come?"

"I-I can do t-the end of the week."

"That is fine. I look forward to seeing you again, daughter." She looked at Sasuke and cleared her throat.

"C-can I bring someone?" There was a silence exchanged on the phone.

"Do as you wish." And with that, Hiashi hung up the phone. Hinata turned to Sasuke who stared at her intently.

"M-my father wants me t-to see him again, to reconcile." Hinata stated.

"And you don't want that?"

"I-I do." Hinata informed. "But, I don't want to d-do it alone. I-I want you to c-come with me and meet my family." Sasuke's reply made her feel warm.

It was, "Whatever you want, princess."
