Exposed
This is so fucking embarrassing I think I might just shoot myself.
I had no idea what I was doing here. Actually, I did know, but if I told you, you would most likely laugh at me and tell me it was my fault.
Which, in all honesty, it kind of was. That doesn't mean that anyone has the right to give me crap, because if he or she were in my situation, that person would feel just as miserable and confused and frightened as I was as well.
I was in the male locker room showers with only a flimsy towel around my body and a lousy hair cap that barely wrapped around my thick skull. I didn't even get to finish washing myself when I heard men come in, laughing and dicking around—no pun intended—and just being men.
So here I am, hidden behind a shower curtain, hoping nobody's going to use this stall, because if they do I have no idea what I'll do with myself. I might shriek, but I don't know what my plan will be after that. Maybe I'll just drop everything and run.
I went into the bathroom thinking that it was empty for a Thursday morning. Usually, the girls were always in there, taking up all the hot water and playing with the shampoo bubbles and arguing over who gets to use how much conditioner (ah, the benefits of having short hair!).
But today, I was wondering why it seemed so empty. It was as if I was the first person to actually use it today, and it made me happy that I had all the space to myself. No more would I have to listen to a girl brag about her large, soapy boobs or other girls laugh at the fact that I hadn't shaven my legs in two days—it's two days, seriously, girls!—and fight over the last hair dryer. I had the whole place to myself, and I would cherish it like no other.
Cherish it for about eight and a half minutes, that is.
"So, teme—" Naruto yelled. I winced; of course Naruto would be here. If he found out where I was right now, he'd never let me hear the end of it. I slunk back against the wall, feeling the cold tiles against my back. Trying not to whimper like a little bitch, I bit my tongue and hoped I wouldn't make any sound to let anybody know I was in here.
"You finally gonna ask her out?" Naruto continued. I had no idea what he was talking about. Then I heard the rest of the guys slapping towels on the walls and probably on Sasuke, urging him to "yeah, ask her out!" or "if you're not going to do it, someone else will—that someone being me," or just "grow some, will you?"
Which was really funny, considering I had no idea Sasuke even liked anybody here. The fact that all his teammates seemed to know was a whole different story as well.
"Shut up," Sasuke replied back. I heard laughing and more teasing, but Sasuke cursed them all off (causing them all to laugh even harder). I allowed myself one tiny peek out of the curtain before I heard footsteps against the floor. Immediately, I ducked my head back inside the curtain.
Someone was coming.
I pressed myself even firmer against the back wall, feeling gross and disgusting. But there were at least five or six more empty stalls around me. Surely the person wouldn't come here in my stall. After all, it was a one in seven chance, and the percentage of him actually—
"Sakura?"
That was it. I allowed myself a scream and clutched the towel tighter around me before Sasuke put his hand over my mouth and shut me up. He glared at me with harsh eyes and made sure the shower curtain was closed before gripping my bare shoulders and shaking me.
"What the hell do you think you're doing here?" he snarled wildly under his breath.
"I thought—" I began, trying to catch my breath. "Fuck, Sasuke, you gave me a heart attack!"
"You thought what?"
"I thought it was the women's bathroom! I don't know. It was early and I was tired and it was empty and I really don't know. Don't give me crap, alright?"
"Is someone in there?" one of the guys called. Sasuke put his hand over my mouth again and turned on the water, letting people know that our stall was occupied. I wanted to cry out when I felt the cold water hit my back, but instead of screaming, I bit down on his hand. He growled.
"What the hell?'
"I'm sorry!" I whispered back. "It's cold!"
I looked down to see that Sasuke's towel was about to fall off his waist, revealing something I've wanted to know about for a long time and yet was too embarrassed to actually look now that it was here in front of me.
"I can't let you go out," he said. "Not while they're here."
"Well, what do I do, then? Do I just turn the other way and let you finish showering? Do I wait here and hope I don't die of hypothermia until all of you guys leave? Or do I just try to make myself a liquid so that I can go down the drain and into the sewer and never have to talk about this situation again?"
"Is there a girl in here? I hear someone's voice!" Naruto yelled. The rest of the guys murmured in agreement, and I bit my lip, forcing myself to shut up.
"Shut up, Naruto," Sasuke called out. "Some of us are actually trying to get some peace and quiet here!"
"Just…turn around," Sasuke told me. "I'm going to shower now."
I nodded, my lips still sealed tightly. I turned around and faced the wall, clutching my own towel around me. I heard Sasuke's towel drop to the floor, and he swung it over the shower curtain. Water poured and dripped down his body, and I know he was washing his hair, running his long fingers through that dark mess.
I was getting so turned on right now and I hated myself for it.
"You're still not looking, right?" he said.
"Mm," I said, allowing a small sound to come out. I wanted to turn around so badly and look—!
I heard the pitter-patter of more shower water hitting the floor and knew that the rest of the stalls were occupied as well. What I didn't hear was Naruto coming in, running on the wet floor and slipping, and tugging on Sasuke's shower stall.
"Teme, I have to pee! Let me in!"
I turned around and saw Sasuke's face turn into an expression of irritation. While he was looking outside, I allowed myself a quick glance at his nether regions, then looked back up before he could see.
Damn.
"Use the bathroom like every other normal person, weirdo," Sasuke growled.
"But teme!" Naruto began to shake the curtain, and I knew he was going to barge in.
Sasuke swooped me into his naked, wet chest and wrapped an arm around me. I almost stumbled on the slippery floor, and put my hand over his pec to steady myself. My towel began to slip off, but in the position we were in, I couldn't reach it to cover myself.
"Shh," he said.
"Naruto, leave me alone," Sasuke yelled. "Go bother Sai. He's in the next stall over."
"Fine!" Naruto scurried off, and I heard him asking Sai the same question. I breathed a sigh of relief and realized that I was still against Sasuke's body.
He was naked and I was…half-naked.
Kami.
My breast was exposed.
I quickly wrapped the towel back around my body when I saw Sasuke's eyes give me such a harsh, penetrating glare that I didn't know what to think or do. I opened my mouth to tell him thanks, but before I could, his lips were on mine and my back was once again against the cold wall.
Lust. His dark eyes glittered with such intense emotion and the need for passion that I found myself succumbing to those wanting eyes. He held me close, running his hand up and down my bare thigh and kissing my jawline. I finally got a chance to run my own fingers through his sopping hair and tugged, feeling his lips suck hard at my neck.
I knew that would leave a bruise.
"Beautiful," he murmured, trailing his hand from my collarbone down to the valley of my chest. His finger rested there for a second, watching my eyes for any sort of hesitation, before he rested his palm over my breast.
He didn't do anything else. He simply laid his hand over my tit and had the other on my waist. He pressed a soft kiss to my forehead, and I felt his angular chin settle on my crown.
"Sasuke," Sai called from the other stall. I assumed that Naruto had finally gone to the bathroom where he was supposed to go.
"Yeah?" Sasuke called back. I saw an eyebrow twitch in frustration; obviously, he didn't want to be interrupted. I didn't either, considering Sasuke was touching me in such erotic places, oh my goodness…
"Are you going to ask Sakura out after this?"
Sasuke tensed. I did, too. He looked at me and removed his hand from my breast before stroking my cheek with the back of his skin.
"I'd love to," I breathed.
"Well," he said. "It makes my job a lot easier."
I wound my arms around his neck securely, looping my hands together. I tried to ignore the fact that he was literally butt-naked in front of me in a shower, which made me super hot and horny beyond belief, and just went with the flow. He smirked, prying my arms off, and forced me to look at the wall.
"No peeking," he said. "I have to finish washing myself."
"Sasuke? Are you talking to somebody in there?" Sai asked.
"Nope," Sasuke replied, reaching for the soap. He then began to scrub the exposed part of my back, to which I nearly yelped out of shock.
"What was that for?" I growled, making sure to keep my voice down as much as possible.
"You're a very dirty girl, coming into the men's locker rooms like this…" he smirked. "We've got to get you cleaned up."
