Just read, enjoy, have a good laugh or two. Have a tear slip here and there. Get mad at cliffhangers or late updates, and review. Even if it's just a one word review~
"Sasuke, look at this cute thing!" Sakura cooed has she shoved her phone under his nose.
Sasuke took a quick side glance at it before returning his attention back to his accounting assignment. It was a video of a baby corgi, struggling to climb up the stairs with its short, potato size legs. Nothing that amazing. "Hn."
"It's such a cute little baby," Sakura continued as she hit the replay button again. "Corgis are adorable."
It was Sunday morning, and after coming back from an early breakfast, the two of them had decided to tackle both of their school work together at his place. They had a steady pace going until Kiba had decided to send Sakura a cute corgi video. Now said girl was leaning against his side with her back to him as she continued to search up more cute corgi videos. Her anatomy assignment long forgotten and abandoned on the coffee table.
"Have you ever thought about getting a dog, Sasuke?" She asked, still scrolling through her phone for more videos. "Or are you a cat person?"
"No, and I don't care. Either or is fine." Sighing, he closed his laptop and rubbed his eyes. He figured it was time for a break anyways, all of those numbers were starting to blur together. Looking over her shoulder, he watched another video with her, his arm resting on the back of the couch. As she leaned her head onto his arm, he asked, "Why? Do you want one?"
Surprised, Sakura looked up at him beaming, "Is that even a question? Of course I want one! Who in their right mind wouldn't want one?"
Shaking his head, he chuckled, "You're such a child, Sakura."
"Oh, whatever Sasuke." She stuck her tongue out at him. "I'm older than you anyways."
"Age is just a number. Doesn't mean you're wiser." And on that note, Sasuke quickly pushed himself off the couch and made a brisk dash to the kitchen before Sakura could comprehend his words.
Moments later, when the words finally sunk in, Sakura was racing after him in a flash. Jumping onto his back, she wrapped her legs around his torso. Putting him into a headlock, she shouted, "Ya! What did you just say you butthead?"
Chuckling, he attempted to wrestle her off his back but it was to no avail. Sakura's hold was inhumanly strong, especially for a petite girl that she was. So instead of continuing to fight her off, he slipped his arms around the back of her thighs to keep her from falling, and said, "I didn't say anything."
"Sure, like you didn't just mock me of my intelligence." She huffed in reply, her warm breath fanning against his neck.
"I did not mock you."
"Well, you implied it."
"Hn."
.
It was halfway through his finance lecture that he saw his phone light up, a message from certain pink haired girl. Sliding the message open with his finger, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at what he saw.
Sakura had stumbled across a corgi service dog on campus and took a selfie with it. He didn't bother reading the rest of the message when he saw that it was all in caps.
That girl loved corgis too much for her own good. She's been obsessed with them for about a month now and he was sure it was not healthy. Ever since that day, he's been getting nothing but pictures of corgis this and that every waking hour.
Taking a glance at his watch, he had some time before her last class ends. It was time to solve this unhealthy obsession of hers.
.
Walking out of the lecture hall, Sakura covered her mouth with her hand as she yawned before opening a text message from Sasuke.
'I hate you for influencing me into doing this.'
Sakura merely rolled her eyes at his words, Sasuke was so overly dramatic. Not to mention, she didn't have a clue at what he was even talking about. Therefore, why was he blaming her. Upon leaving the building, she was surprised to hear such a commotion of girls cooing and squealing outside. As she inched closer to crowd of girls, she spotted a sour looking Sasuke standing in the middle, holding a small tan bundle in his arms. When she caught his gaze, she couldn't help but laugh at the glare he gave her in return.
She managed to squeeze through the crowd of girls and stood next to him, much to the other girl's distaste. It was only then that she realized that the small bundle he was holding in his arms was a tiny baby corgi. Gasping, Sakura took the puppy from him, gushing, "Oh my gosh. What? When? Is he yours?"
"Ours."
It was only then that the crowd of girls around them sighed collectively and began to disband, going to their respective classes and leaving the two alone.
Sasuke watched as she snuggled the little thing close to her face, holding an absolute look of happiness on her features. Looking up at him, she giggled, "By the way, I did not influence you into doing anything, mister."
"Yes, you did."
Throwing her head back in laughter, she smiled. "I totally did not Sasuke."
"Yes." Sasuke grumbled. "By showing me and talking nonstop about it. Corgi this, corgi that."
"So, you basically got me one to shut me up?" Sakura raised a single eyebrow at him, a laugh threatening to slip past her lips.
Shoving his hands into his pocket, he started to walk away, sulking. "Hn. Consider it a cure to your unhealthy obsession."
"Sasuke, you make it sound like I'm addicted to drugs or something."
"Same difference."
"Same difference my ass," Sakura laughed.
.
With midterms approaching, Sakura rarely stayed at her dorm anymore. She would just end up sleeping over at Sasuke's place, since by the time they were done studying, it was way past midnight. With it being that late, Sasuke refuses to let her walk back to her place alone, yet he was "too lazy" to drive her back. But Sakura knew better. Lazy and Sasuke were words that should never be in the same sentence. It was an attempt at a sad excuse for her to stay over.
Not that she minded.
Coming out of the bathroom, teeth freshly brushed, Sakura found him lying on the bed on his stomach, reading something on his phone. She walked over to him and without a second thought, laid right on top, her chin resting on his shoulder. When Sasuke didn't say anything in return, Sakura daringly pressed her cheek against his.
When they were younger, Sakura was always surprised at how close the Uchiha would allow her to be to him. Naturally, she was a no personal space kind of girl. Meanwhile, Sasuke on the other hand, was all about personal space. He had hardly allowed anyone to invade it, always setting boundaries and distance. With her, he would simply drop them as if they never existed in the first place.
Removing her eyes from the news article that they were both reading, Sakura leaned in a little closer, eyes now closing. As she was about to give him a light peck on the check, she froze when she felt another warm set of lips enveloping her own instead of the plane of his cheekbones.
Sakura was completely unprepared.
Even with the pace that they were going recently, she would have figured something like this wouldn't shock her as much. She wasn't dumb. She's been noticing the not so subtle glances that Sasuke had been giving her, more particularly her lips. Growing up with him for so many years, seeing him frown, smirk, and talk, she would have thought she would know all there is to know about his lips. But never have she imagined how it would feel to have them pressed against her own. Well, she had but now that it was reality, his lips pressing on hers were a thousands times warmer than she had originally thought.
Sakura had been a frozen rigid the moment his lips landed on hers so when she felt his hand travel up on the base of her spine and back down again in a soothing motion, she relaxed and melted immediately against his hold. And when his tongue came out and teasingly licked her bottom lip, it sent her brain into a frenzy.
At first, their lips moved against each other slowly with his right hand holding her neck, his thumb caressing her jawline as their breaths began to mingle. They were both tentative and hesitant in the way they moved. Simple caresses, fleeting touches. And then without warning, Sakura pushed back against his lips a little harder causing the little caresses to become more firm, causing her breath to quicken.
Next thing she knew, she was flat on her back with him hovering over her, lips never breaking contact. Sasuke slanted his head, to get a better angle. The kiss quickly escalated to a full on passion filled makeout session, not that the either of them had minded at all.
Her fingers combed through his ebony locks before traveling down to the base of his neck. Locking her hands around his neck, she pulled him down so that his body would come flush with hers. Amidst all of this, Sasuke had slipped a hand under her shirt and began rubbing circles on her hip, sending tingles all throughout her body.
Suddenly, Sasuke pulled away breathlessly, resting his forehead against hers. As their eyes locked, the intensity of gaze sent shivers down her spine as her stomach coiled with warmth. Just about every emotion she could possibly imagine and feel in that moment, they were swirling around in his dark eyes too. So when she felt his warm breath fan across her nose, Sakura shut her eyes in anticipation for what was to come next.
This time, when his lips came down hard on hers and enveloped them in such a strong urgency and passion, she wasn't surprised. Instead, she responded back with just the same intensity, if not a little more.
