A/N: Hi guys. Okay a couple things to discuss.
1. Your reviews are literally lifting up my self esteem when it comes to writing! I lovelovelove all the reviews I get, and I appreciate everyone following this story. You guys are so, SO amazing. Each and every one of you. xoxo.
2. This chapter is the shortest I've ever written. Hell, it's shorter than short. Literally one scene. The reason I'm uploading it is because I reaaaally just want to update with something on this story. I feel like it's better to update with something short and sweet, rather than make you guys wait a couple of weeks for me to get a 4,000 word chapter in.
3. I wrote this chapter to have a little bit of fluff (is that term still used on Fanfiction anymore? Yeano?) because now that I'm homeschooled, I say up till 5 in the morning thinking cute scenarios over and over in my head. I just couldn't help myself with this, so I'm sorry if it's shitty.
4. People have written to me about my Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram, etc., and if you want my personal information like that, just ask over private messages and I'll be glad to share my social networkings with you. :) I love talking to new people, no matter who you are or where you're from!

Anyways, enjoy.

He was here. In her bed. Latched onto her.

He was here.

He came back.

For her.

He was here.

The realization finally pieced together in her head, and she yelled out, "SASUKE UCHIHA."

He turned a bit before stretching and lazily opening his dark eyes. "Good morning, princess. I assume you're not a morning person."

Sakura didn't process his words until Sasuke shut his eyes and his famous smirk crept on his handsome features. Her heart skipped a beat, and she slowly regained her cool. "A morning person? Is that all you can say to me?"

"What else am I supposed to say?" Sasuke nuzzled into her pink pillow. "You wake up acting almost as bitchy as you do during the day."

Sakura's eye twitched. "Well, I didn't expect to wake up to a bloody and beat up man dirtying up my sheets, holding m-" she cut herself off, realizing that, in fact, Sasuke Uchiha still had a firm grasp around her waist. The closeness between her and him made her stomach flip in ways it never did before. "Sasuke."

He craned an eye open. "Hmm?"

"You're, erm," She sat up straighter and looked away. "awfully close."

Sakura was expecting him to reply with a taunting comeback, but instead, she heard a deep chuckle erupt from the shinobi's chest. Before she knew it, Sasuke was pushing her to lay back down with the same arm slung around her. She fought him, but his strength overpowered hers. Huffing in defeat, she turned to lay on her side, facing the opposite direction he was laying.

"Calm down, diva. You know you like this."

"What exactly is 'this', Sasuke?"

Sasuke grunted and stretched, still sleepy. "It's whatever you want it to be, Sakura," he mumbled.

"That helps me so goddamn much," Sakura muttered sarcastically.

Sasuke chuckled again. "Y'know, it's a proven fact that people who sleep with teddy bears grow up to be more affectionate towards people."

"Obviously that didn't work out for you, did it?"

"No," Sasuke replied with a yawn. "But as of right now, you're warm and I'm sore. So you can play teddy bear, heating pad.. whatever you want, and I'm going to play exhausted as fuck and in pain. Deal?"

Sakura's heart was pounding so rapidly, she could've sworn her neighbors would hear it. As much as she didn't want to, she still tried to stand her ground and wasn't going to give into Sasuke's rare case of affection. "No deal. Where do I benefit here?"

The sheets moved, and she felt Sasuke's body close the space between them. Although she wasn't facing in his direction, she could feel his smirk rising. "You benefit more than I do, silly," Sasuke breathed into her hair. "I'm big spoon to you, after all."

Sakura couldn't help but giggle at the term 'big spoon'. "Oh, so we're going to be spooning now?"

"Technically," Sasuke drawled, gesturing their position with his free hand, "we are right now, little spoon."

She let out a small laugh this time. "I guess you're right, big spoon." Sakura could feel her heart soften at his light attitude. Even if he was just exhausted and was being nice to her because he didn't want her yelling in his ear every other minute, it was nice to share a moment like this with him. It could almost be described as cute.

"I'm always right," Sasuke mumbled in her hair.

Sakura couldn't help but lace her fingers into the hand that was rested around her. In return, Sasuke sighed and nuzzled his nose into the back of her neck.

After a few minutes of silence, Sakura looked down at their intertwined hands. "I'm glad that you're here, Sasuke," she whispered. "These past couple of weeks have been very hard for me. With my parents gone, no one to call, and living in isolation.. it's just been so difficult for me to find something to hold onto. Everyone thinks I have it easy because I'm rich and famous, when in reality, I'm a lonely, lonely person. I really have no one close to me that I can trust or rely on. The only person who has my back is me. But ever since that attack, you've been in my mind. Almost like.. something to look forward to. When I sent you away and didn't hear from you, I thought the fun was over, and I'd go back to my lonely state. So what I'm saying is... I can honestly say... I kinda missed you."

"..."

"Sasuke?" Sakura whispered.

"..."

"Nevermind." Sakura blushed, embarrassed by her confession. "Forget I said anything."

*Snore*

"You've been sleeping throughout that?!" Sakura sighed quietly. "Oh well, it was probably for the best you didn't hear that."

Sakura relaxed herself into Sasuke's chest and shut her eyes. Sakura's breathing began to match Sasuke's even pattern, and she found herself dozing off to the sound of his quiet heartbeat.

And right before she fell into a state of slumber, she heard Sasuke murmur in her ear. "I've missed you more than you could imagine, princess."

Reviews peer pressure me into writing faster. ;)
