A/N: Hi everyone! I'm excited to finally be finishing this three-shot and hearing your reviews and criticisms! This will be a lemon, just letting y'all know. If you don't want to read the lemon, I will try to rewrite the chapter and add it as an alternate ending for y'all! I'm writing it as a lemon because I feel that the sexual tension adds to the angst of the story, in case you were wondering "why not just make it without the lemon?" Thank you to my lovely reviewers narusaku143, Little lily, chained-love and JTW2014 because everytime I thought of slacking off, I thought of your reviews to motivate me! Now, on to the story! :)

As Naruto walked across Konoha, he couldn't help but feel that gnawing in his gut come back from when Hinata ended what they had. Everything remind him of her, even the damn footprints he left behind. It would make him think of how much smaller her foot was alongside his. Then his thoughts would trace along her body, going up her thick and long legs (and how they'd wrap around his waist), up to her ass and waist (of course his hands always found their way there), to her chest (her collarbones and everything else always felt so sweet on his lips) and up to her face (and her expressions...). Every curve, angle and wrinkle on her made her the definition of perfection, everything he'd ever want and and always need. She was supposed to always be his. All of her was his to take pleasure in. And in turn he'd give her all of him too. Why couldn't she take what he was giving her? Was it all too ugly and jagged for her fragile hands to hold? Maybe-

*buzz* *buzz* *buzz*

Naruto snapped out of his thoughts. Who the hell was calling him? Everyone was supposed to be at the party. He pulled his phone out of his pocket, ready to send it to voicemail when he noticed. 'Sakura? What could she want?' Naruto sighed as he answered. He couldn't really bring himself to hang up on her, she was his best friend.

"Sakura? What is it? I'm not really in the moo-"

"INO! I need ya ta get here rrrrIGHT NOW. I'm about ta drink the lass' bottle! You wanned me ta wait for ya! Sssso, so come ON! I... I need you..."

Short sobs cut off whatever nonsense she was about to finish. 'Is she crying? This could be about Sasuke..."

"Sakura. This is Naruto. I think you might have misdialed. Are you okay?"

"Naruto...? Why you have Ino's phone? Tell her I can't be alone anymoreee... I don't wanna be alone... Come... Come be with me. Drink with me!"

"Sakura-"

"Just come! Please! I can't be by m'sself righ now... Can't drink dis bottle *hiccup* 'lone..."

For a moment, Naruto that it would be inappropriate for him to be drinking late at night with another girl considering what he and Hinata had, but that thought soon turned into anger, considering there was nothing left of them to honor. Any remnants of their relationship was scratched away by the ink from her signature on a marriage contract. Besides, he could use a drink, and Sakura's place was 5 minutes away by rooftop, bringing him farther away from the celebrations.

"I'm on my way."

"Whipeeee... hurryyyyyyy." She abrputly hung up.

-5 minutes later-

How had she ended up on the phone with Naruto? She was sure she had dialed Ino... Oh well. She had only promised she wouldn't drink the last bottle alone, she hadn't said she would do it with her. Naruto's company was good enough, anyway. He didn't pry when she didn't want to talk, and she definitely did not want to talk right now. She just wanted to drink enough to pass out and keep her memories of Sasuke away.

She looked over at the clock. 11:13. She turned back to the sake bottle on the kotatsu and took it into her hands. 'Hmmm,' she thought to herself. 'How long 'till you're gone?' She eyed the bottle quizically, until she heard a knock at the door. 'He's here already? Well, the sooner the better.'

When she opened the door, she immediately noticed the depressed look on Naruto's face.

"What's wrong?" She spoke up.

"Whadd'ya mean what's wrong? You're the one that called me. Wha-"

"Noooo," she interrupted. She poked his face. "I mean this. You look... sad. You never look like this." Naruto's expression hardened.

"I don't wanna talk about it." He looked away. "Besides, I came here for you. What's going on Sakura? You reek of booze and I heard you crying on the phone. Is this... Is this about... Sasuke?"

Her eyes drooped and her mouth formed a thin, tight line, her face trying to keep off the frowm that was creeping up. "I don't want to talk about it."

Naruto sighed. "Fair enough. Look, you invited me over for a drink, ne? So let's get to it."

Sakura's face quickly brightened. "I like your attitude. Straight to the point. Come on in."

Naruto slipped off his sandals as he entered her apartment. He took in his sight and grimaced a bit. The place was a wreck. There were bottles already strewn all over the floor, along with knocked over furniture and drawers. It refelcted Sakura's appearance, who donned a deep green hoodie with ratty trims and loose ends, along with black spandex ninja shorts. Her hair was a little dishevelled and the lost look in her eyes told him she was already wasted. "Uhhh, the living room is kinda messy, so we'll just be in my room. I have this beanbag chair in there that feels amaaaaazing while you're drunk!" Sakura said, with a goofy grin taking over her features. She stepped over things that littered her floor and entered the kitchen, taking a large cup and a wine glass out of the cabinets. "Yoshhh!" she shouted, thrusting her fist in the air while closing her eyes and pouting as she led him to her room.

Once in her room, Naruto took his place on the beanbag throne (literally, it was shaped like a king's throne) as Sakura popped open the sake and poured herself a drink. She filled her wine glass nearly to the brim and then filled Naruto's cup, finishing off the bottle right before it overflowed. "Oooh perfect! Oookay, let's get started!" she said, and plopped down onto the bed in front of Naruto.

-3 hours later-

'Whoaa, what time is it again?' Naruto glanced over at the clock. '2 am? 3?' He couldn't really tell, considering the clock was looking a bit blurry. He wondered if the party was over yet. Had everyone crawled back to bed yet? Had Hinata and Neji gone to theirs? He shut his eyes. Is he touching her where only he had? Is she enjoying it? Does she think Neji's better? His blood started to boil. 'Here we go again,' he thought. She was supposed to be his forever. All of her was for himself and himself only, and vice versa. He'd been prepared to give her everything, to only want and need her. Why couldn't she have done the same for him? His mind flowed with questions, sending him deeper into sadness and anger.

Suddenly, the glass in Naruto's hand shattered in under his grip. The sound made Sakura sit up on her bed in surprise. She was about to grab a kunai, thinking someone was breaking in, when she noticed the shards of glass embedded in his hand as it bled profusely. "Naruto! Whass wrong?! Why did'ya hurt yourself?" She reached out to his hand so she could heal him, but he pulled away. "Don't worry about it, the Kyuubi's chakra heals these little scratches up in no time." He flashed her a bright (but fake) smile, and she frowned.

"I hate when you fake your smile. I know you're not happy. So don't do it. At least not for me." She averted her gaze and dropped back onto her bed.

Naruto hung his head and adjusted himself back onto the beanbag. He took a deep breath before he spoke. "Hinata got married today. She broke my heart. Without even wanting to."

Sakura couldn't believe it. He actually opened up to her about what was bothering him. Why would he want to shoulder that alone? She softened her tone. "I completely forgot that was today. I was... too distracted I guess."

"So it was about Sasuke?" He looked up at her, concern lacing his words.

"Yeah..."

Naruto stood up (albiet very ungracefully, it's pretty hard to get off a beanbag chair when you're shitfaced) and lied down on the bed next to her. He stretched himself out on her tiny twin bed, his arms crossed behind his head. He looked over at her, as she turned over and faced the roof as well, placing her hands on her stomach. She looked down at her toes.

Suddenly, she rolled over on top of him, straddling his hips and placing her hands on either side of his head. "Sakura?! What're you doing-" She shut him up by planting a drunken kiss on his lips. He wanted to be shocked, but it felt so good to kiss her. She tasted so sweet, just like Hina-

He immediately pushed her away. "What are you doing?"

"Everything you did to her. Do it to me. I know you loved her. I just want to know what that feels like. To have someone value you enough to give you everything, raw emotions and flaws included. That's something I never got to feel. Just for tonight... Make me feel like I'm good enough..."

She was so drunk. And god, he wanted to taste her again. Before she could continue, Naruto flipped her over, snaking his right arm around her waist. "You really want this? All of me?" He locked eyes with her, his gaze burning with ferocity. She looked back at him in awe, and only nodded in response.

He kissed her then, softly and passionately, licking and biting her lips when she'd let him. The arm he had around her pulled her in closer, his hand squeezing her waist. His left hand snuck up under her sweater, fingers tracing a line from her hipbones up her stomach and to her ribs, right before the binds around her chest. At this, Sakura arched her back, letting out a soft moan. Naruto quickly brought his right arm out from under her and traced her body again, lifting up her sweater and revealing her toned, milky stomach. He pulled away from her lips, only to plant them back down onto her stomach, his tounge lightly drawing circles as his lips traveled up towards her chest. His lips stopped right before her binds, and then he pulled her sweater off over her head. He leaned back down after tossing the hoodie aside, his lips finding her neck and his hands finding the tucked end of the cloth around her chest, slowly unravelling it. As he unbound her, he didn't touch her. She could feel his fingers flutter above her skin, but never long enough for her to feel his warmth radiate from them. It was torture. She briefly wondered if this is how Sasuke would touch her if he had ever really loved her. But she didn't have the self control to reminisce at that moment, because Naruto had moved down from her neck to her chest, his mouth moving over every inch of her. He placed his hand over one of her breasts and squeezed gently, massaging her. He flicked his tongue over her other nipple, eliciting another moan from her and causing her eyes to flutter shut. His love felt so damn good. 'How could Hinata walk away from this?' She was so enveloped by the sensations that she didn't notice his free hand creeping down her shorts. He opened up her legs a little wider using his own and he started to rub her. She bit down on her lip to keep another moan from escaping. His movements got progressively aggressive, their breathing getting a little more desperate and loud. 'If he keeps going like this, I just might...' But she could no longer think straight. She arched her back again, higher this time, causing Naruto to stop what he was doing and taking in his view. 'Never thought I'd see her like this.' He smirked, then leaned down and whispered in her ear.

"You wanna know what love feels like, Sakura-chan?" She could only manage to whimper out an "mhhmmm." He straightened up again, pulling off his shirt in the process. When she looked up at him, she almost gasped. His body was sculpted like a Greek god, his muscles defined and shining in the moonlight that came in through her window. She could see Tsunade's necklace glinting and blue, making his eyes stand out. His golden hair surrounded his head like a halo. He was a god. He began to unbutton his pants, giving himself some freedom considering how hard he was. Next, he pulled down Sakura's shorts, revealing tiny navy blue panties. He crouched down again, trailing kisses down her inner thigh and gripping her outer thighs and he lowered himself. When he nearly reached her, he placed his hands on her stomach, letting them roam until he reached right under breasts. He gradually brought himself back up again, and as he did he tucked his fingers under the top of her panties, letting them play there for a bit before pulling them off completely. Sakura was still lost in pleasure when Naruto entered her, sending her eyes rolling back and forcing a short gasp out of her. He started thrusting slowly, building up a knot of pleasure in her lower stomach. He bent down and began to kiss her lips again, savoring the sweetness that reminded him of Hinata. In Sakura's mind, the quicker and harder and Naruto thrust, the farther she was sent into ecstacy. And if they closed their eyes, he could almost pretend she was Hinata, she could almost envision Sasuke draped in the moonlight instead of him.

As they neared a climax, Sakura began to hiss from the pleasure slowly spreading from that knot in her stomach all over her body. A quiet sss...sss...sss could be heard, almost like she couldn't finish what she was trying to say. Naruto's breathing became labored, a soft hhh...hhh...hhh slipping out everytime he thrust, like he was about to say something but wouldn't finish it. Sakura orgasmed first, moaning loudly and gripping her sheets, toes curling and eyes rolling back far. Her back arched one more time, this time going so far that her head leaned back as well. At that, Naruto climaxed, biting down onto her collarbone and leaving a mark. As soon as he pulled out, he cupped her face in his hands, placing butterfly kisses all over her face and whispering "I-love-you's" repeatedly. She kept her eyes closed and did the same, both knowing that they weren't really speaking to each other. In the end, Naruto rolled off her and held her until they both fell asleep.

When they awoke the next day, neither of them felt ashamed. They got up and dressed like any other day. As Naruto put his shirt back on, he looked over at her and said, "We should do this again sometime."

Sakura gave him a sly grin. "Next time, you bring the booze."

A/N: Yay! So that concludes this three-shot! Sorry I took so long, but as you can see this chapter is much longer than the other two. I was also finding it hard to think of a way to get them to start their rendezvous. Either way, I'm happy with how this turned out! Thank you all for reading and please leave some reviews or constructive criticism, like spellcheck & grammar, etc. :) Also, some misspellings are on purpose, like the drunk speech. Just a heads up before you correct me on it!
