Chapter 9
It was finally the day, Sakura was packing away her things and Sasuke came in and sat on her bed, which had already been stripped of the sheets, comforter and pillows that were once on it. "You don't have to pack everything up" He said.
"Well, how am I supposed to live at home if I don't have clothes, sheets, pillows, and a comforter?" She asked dubiously.
"You could live here" He answered.
She looked at him and sighed "I couldn't".
"Why not?" He said.
"Just not now, I think we need to live apart for a while. I want to spend time with you though"
"Okay" He briefly said, as continued to watch her things go into her suit case and leave the room empty and dull like it once was before she came.
She had everything put away and he grabbed what he could as they walked to Sakura's place.
"Thanks" Sakura said as Sasuke walked up the stairs with her things.
"You're welcome" He said setting her things on the ground.
"So, you want to stay for dinner?" She asked.
"I don't know, I'm looking pretty busy for tonight..." He said sarcastically.
"Really? Well, that's too bad..." She said joining in his sarcasim.
"I mean, since it's you though, I could cancel"
"How wonderful!" She said enthusiastically in a sarcastic tone "That means you can help me unpack and make dinner!"
"Yay..."
She handed him her sheets and comforter to put on her bed while she unpacked her clothes and other items. After they finished they went down stairs and got dinner ready.
"So, are you going to miss me?" Sasuke asked as they were cleaning up the table that they just ate dinner on.
"You wish" she joked "You might die without me though, do you even know how to cook?"
"That's why you live so close" He said "I'll just come over for dinner"
"You're ridiculous" She said laughing at him.
"Maybe" he said smirking at her.
She caught his eye and smiled back at him. "Well, it looks like I should be getting home" Sasuke said glancing at the clock.
"Oh, yeah..." She said looking at the clock that read 9:30.
They walked to her front door and she walked with him outside where they stood there, silent and still. "...Bye" she said as she leaned against the wall arms crossed to keep her warm.
He nodded and wondered if he should kiss her or something, seeing as she still stood there. "Night" he said taking a step toward her.
He was about to go in for a kiss, but she beat him to it. It was a quick peak, but as soon as they pulled apart they went back for more. "Maybe you could just stay over tonight... If you leave this late you could get hurt or-" She said when they parted, before getting cut off.
"Sure" he interrupted.
They went inside and Sakura told him to wait down stairs while she went up stairs to change into her pajamas. She came back down holding pillows and a blanket. "Here" she said handing him what she was holding.
"Am I sleeping on the couch?" He asked.
"Unless you want to sleep on the floor" she said.
"That's bad for my back..." Sasuke said.
"What are you suggesting?"
"Well, your bed is pretty big..."
She raised a brow at him, and started to walk up stairs. "Is that a yes?" He asked.
She looked back at him and nodded and that's when he came upstairs and swooped her up. "Sasuke!" she said giggling as he walked her through her door.
He set her down on her bed, and stripped down to his boxers, she eyed him, like any girl would if someone like Sasuke Uchiha was half naked in their bedroom. After he threw his clothes on the ground he climbed into bed and laid down on his side. "Well?" Sasuke asked.
"What?"
"Are you going to stop looking at me like that?"
Her face started to heat up, but she kept her cool "Like what?"
"Like you want me" he said getting closer to her.
She turned away, trying to hide how embarrassed she was, but he moved in and she could feel him breathing on her neck. He sat up, brushed her hair back, and whispered in her ear "Good night"
She almost felt like jell-o as his voice tickled the tiny hairs in her ears, "Sasuke..." She whispered.
"Hm?" He asked.
She turned around "Could we ever go out on a date?" She asked.
"Haven't we before?" He asked.
"Not really" She said.
"Okay, we'll go on a date, just tell me when" He said.
She smiled at him and grabbed his hand as she drifted off to sleep, and he too fell asleep.
When Sakura woke up in the morning they were in the same position that they had been in before they feel asleep, gently she slid her hand from Sasuke's and went down stairs to make herself some tea and breakfast. She started to think how it was going to be from now on, back where she lived and Sasuke back where he lived. She shook the thoughts from her mind as she heated up water and pour cereal.
Sasuke's eyes blinked open and he looked around Sakura's room, his eyes then focused on the picture of him, Sakura and Naruto from when they were younger. He began to think about how Sakura had changed so much from then, and how he has changed too, and how odd it would have been to think him and Sakura would be like they were now. He laid in bed for a while longer then went down stairs to see Sakura sitting on the couch sipping on tea as she watched T.V. "Good morning" She greeted.
"Morning" He said back.
"There's milk in the fridge and cereal on the counter" She said as he walked toward the kitchen.
"You really out did yourself this morning" he said pouring himself a bowl.
"I always do" She joked.
He joined her on the couch cereal in hand "You could have put on a shirt" she said.
"I thought you liked this" he said putting his hand to his abs.
Her eyes rolled, and she was glad Sasuke was joking, "Mhm, sure I do"
They sat there in silence, not the uncomfortable kind, but the kind that people who knew each other well enough could sit through for hours.
