A/N: Changed my penname. The old one was from like 2007 and it made like no sense anymore.


"Okay," Sasuke immediately answered without hesitation.

Despite the feelings that were circling through the back of her mind about him going on a mission in the morning, she couldn't hold back the smile that crossed her face. He replied fast enough that she highly doubted he thought about it, which was enough for her to know he probably wanted this as much as she did.

That assumption was enough motive for her to get bolder and pull the first move. After that though, he was going to have to give her something. She leaned back forward, closing the distance between them as she started to kiss him again.

Sakura's hands slowly slid from his hair and shoulder down his chest to the hem of his shirt. She leaned into him only for a few seconds before going underneath his shirt, her fingertips barely grazing his skin before she began pulling up on the fabric, clearly wanting it off.

She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, but she knew she wasn't going to regret any of this. She wanted it... Wanted him. It was the only way she could think of to really get all of her feelings expressed to him, to show him how much she loved him and would miss him. She wasn't scared and she trusted him more than she had ever trusted anyone.

Sasuke took a small step back from her to put enough distance between them and lifted up his arms, allowing her to remove his shirt. Then he turned his attention back to her, his hands tracing the bottom hem of her shirt for a moment before clutching it. He started pulling it up, but paused with only her stomach exposed.

It hadn't really registered what they were doing until she tossed his shirt over the armrest of the couch behind her. She knew she was perfectly fine with the idea of it, but if anyone had told her five weeks ago she'd be in this situation with Sasuke Uchiha, she probably would of just told them they were crazy and laughed it off.

Here she was though, in his apartment... Alone... And him without a shirt while he was in the process of taking off hers. Her knees weakened a little at the sudden realization.

He took a moment to look at Sakura, his eyes questioning. "Are you sure about this?"

The question stopped her from kissing him again. Sakura would of never guessed that Sasuke would be the one stepping on eggs shells here. She was the one who initiated the kiss, asked to stay over and pulled off his shirt and he was the one asking if she was sure about it. That alone was enough to make her want to laugh, but she wouldn't dare, not when he was giving her that look.

Instead, she opted for just meeting his gaze and giving a faint nod.

"I'm sure, Sasuke."

Sakura raised her hands and allowed him to finish taking off her shirt before she leaned forward, kissing him again before sliding from between him and the couch, taking a step backwards in the direction of his room, not once breaking the contact of their lips. He gladly returned the kiss without holding back in the slightest and followed her towards his bedroom.

Sasuke placed his hands on her waist, guiding her to make sure that she didn't bump into anything as the two made their way to the bedroom. They arrived at the bedroom and the only light in the room was the light that came in the open door from the living room, making it just bright enough in there to see.

This was a side of Sasuke she had never seen before. He wasn't thinking, he was just doing and he wasn't holding back. Who knew what happened to her shirt, but she pushed the thought aside when he started to kiss her back.

Sasuke stopped her once they neared the bed, his hand traveling up from Sakura's waist and to the back of her bra. She could feel the sheets of his bed brush against the back of her legs and it only served to pull her more into the moment. She almost completely forgot about his hands at her waist until she felt him begin to move one, the warmth of his hand ghosting against her skin until he came to a stop at her bra, undoing it in a record time.

It was scary some of the things he was good at.

There was no hiding the blush that spread across her features as she slowly pulled off the article of clothing one strap at a time before discarding it to the floor somewhere. She broke the kiss between them as she started to trail kisses down his jaw line to his ear where she gave a light nibble on his ear as she made quick work with her hands to start undoing his pants.

Sakura had been successful at least at getting his pants open, but before she could make another move she had to stop when that first brush of his lips came in contact with her neck. That alone was enough to drive her insane at the agonizing teasing that he was ensuring.

In most situations, she would say that two could play at that game, but this wasn't most situations and Sasuke wasn't someone she could just out-smart. Plus, there was his stupid talent again, making him good at everything.

Sakura slowly pulled away from him then, putting only a short amount of distance between them as she slid back onto the bed, reaching out to grab his hand and pull him with her before kissing him. He kept his hand on either side of her to prop himself up above her, leaving barely any space between them. She fisted a hand in his hair while keeping the other on the bed to balance herself.

She felt something brush up against her and suddenly recalled what she had been dangerously close to touching earlier. Maybe if she hadn't been so upset earlier, or had just confessed that she still loved him she might of teased him a little bit, but right now the idea of bruising his ego was the farthest thing from her mind.

Sasuke pulled away from the kiss, once again kissing her neck but this time not stopping at just her collarbone. She had a feeling he was just testing the waters, trying to figure out those sweet spots she had, but it didn't stop there. He kept going down. Way down. He slid his body further down the bed, kissing his way all the way down her stomach before stopping. His hands reached under the edge of her skirt-shorts that she always wore, slowly starting to pull them down.

She didn't have a problem with it, but when a soft moan passed her lips before she could stop herself, a blush took over her face entirely. No one had ever done anything like this to her, touched her like this and she was enjoying it. Then again, she couldn't help but feel a little self conscious.

He seemed to be taking control and she knew right now she couldn't fight it. She was just going with what she felt and in all honesty, she didn't know what she was doing and Second, it just felt too damn good to tease him. She slowly released the fistful of hair she had as he started to kiss down her neck again.

She was suddenly thankful for the fact the light was off and despite the illumination from the living room, she highly doubted he could see the blush getting even worse on her cheeks. It would be naive of her to say she wasn't nervous about what he thought about all of this, but she wasn't going to stop, and neither was he.

Sakura didn't hesitate to lift up her hips, watching him as he discarded the clothing and left her completely bare. She was torn between waiting to see what he was doing and getting him out of his pants, as well.

In the end though all she could do was stare up at him. She wanted to see Sasuke's reaction to her, what he was doing.

"You look so beautiful," Sasuke muttered.

All she could do was stare at him, a small tug at her lips. That was probably going to be the moment she remembered about this night the best. Sasuke's compliments were few and far between and were almost always just subtle phrases. Sure, he had called her cute once, but that was nothing compared to what he said. Sakura knew he had to mean it, and that was the only thing that caused her blush to die down, her embarrassment close to disappearing.

Sakura took in a sharp intake of air when she felt his hand brush her thighs and slide in between her legs. She tilted her head back, all of her thoughts completely focused on what he was touching, how he was touching her. She barely registered when another moan passed her lips and she didn't care. He really was her drug and she knew she'd never get enough of him.

It took everything she had to reach down, placing her hand over his to make him pause his movements. She moved to look at him; her green eyes meeting his dark ones and a slow smirk crossed her lips.

"Lose the pants, Uchiha."

It wasn't fair she was the only one naked.

He slipped off the bed for a moment, removing his pants and becoming just as naked as her. She watched his every motion , his thumbs hooking in the waist of his pants before he took them off. She hadn't been blind to the fact he was staring at her earlier and that was the only reason she wasn't ashamed to stare right back.

Working at the hospital, it was safe to say she had seen her share, but she could assume that Sasuke could obviously add another thing to his list to things he was good at.

He then moved back onto the bed, kissing her once his face was once again next to hers. She leaned into the kiss, wrapping an arm around his neck to pull him close to her. She felt another wave of boldness wash over her as she deepened the kiss.

She wanted to know his reactions as well, he was in this just the same as she was. So she didn't hesitate to let her other hand trail down past his shoulders, chest and then stomach. She felt her blush return just slightly when she finally touched him, but she didn't break the kiss, all to curious as to what he'd do.

For a quick moment he stopped kissing her and gasped ever so slightly out of his surprised reaction. But then he returned to kissing her, even more fire in his kiss than before. His hand reached the back of her neck, keeping her close.

He seemed caught off guard, but he obviously didn't mind. His reaction amused Sakura, but when he kissed her again, it was her turn to be vulnerable. She was so caught up in the moment, every fiber of her being knowing that this was where she wanted to be. Sasuke was what she wanted and she highly doubted that would ever change. It was strange to think that two months ago she had been terrified of him and now she just couldn't picture him that way anymore.

He pulled away from the kiss, his eyes closed and face flushed, though not because he was embarrassed.

"Nnn…Sakura…"

She smiled, enjoying the fact that it was her who was making those noises come from him, that she was making him feel this. She slowly traced her fingers down the length of him as she started kissing his neck as she tried to lean up in the attempts to get him to roll over and give her control for a minute. Her options were limited unless he rolled over. She knew she wanted to make him feel even more though.

For a moment, she didn't think he was going to budge and just keep going along his merry way, though she doubted she would of been disappointed. Yet when he rolled over, taking her with him, she could only smile and respond to his kiss.

She kept it short before she slowly began to kiss down his neck, her bangs falling so that the ends brushed across his skin in her wake as she slowly began to kiss down his chest. By the time she made it down to where her fingertips were still touching him, she paused. There was no telling how he'd react, but she wouldn't know until she tried.

Sakura started with just a gentle kiss before trailing her tongue down the length of him and then back up the other side. She gave one sharp breath of cool air against the tip before kissing his stomach again and working her way back up to his chest.

He let out a moan, tilting his head back at the feel of the sensation. His hands clutched the sheets beside him. She sat up just enough to look at him then, watching him for only a few moments before kissing him, her hands resting on his shoulders.

Sasuke wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her so close that their bodies were pressed together.

Then just as he'd done before, he rolled them over together, which was easy for someone as strong as him. He was back on top of her now and he kissed her again. She put as much emotion as she could into that kiss as she hugged him to her. Sakura trailed her hands down his back, the realization hitting her again. Sasuke was about to be her first and there was no backing out now, not that she even wanted too.

His hand left her waist and found its way to between her thighs once more, slipping two fingers inside her. A gasp escaped her She broke the kiss as she pressed her cheek against his, her breathing heavy.

"Mhmm, Sasuke."

She moaned as she leaned back into the bed, arching her backs toward him as she moved her hips involuntarily, spreading her legs a little more to give him more access. She wasn't too wet, but enough so that she could consider herself well aroused. If he kept this up though, that could change very, very shortly.

He slowly moved his fingers in and out and took the opportunity of her needing to breathe to kiss her neck, though not as lightly as before. She could see the smirk on his face through half lidded eyes. She wasn't sure if it was a good or a bad thing that he knew how much influence he had on her, but right now she didn't care.

Everything was good to her right now. Everything from his touch to the feel of his lips against her skin. Right now he had complete and utter control over the situation and she was just along for the ride.

She could already feel him testing her limits. She pressed her chest even more so against his as she began to rock her hips in tempo with his hand.

"Sasuke..."

She didn't know what he was waiting for, but she was ready for whatever was coming, or at least, she liked to say she was ready.

Sakura slowly sat up, kissing him again. The kiss was short though, being interrupted by a moan that been louder than the rest that escaped from her. He was doing something with his fingers that was making him hit just the right spot every few minutes and it was driving her so crazy she couldn't even focus on kissing him.

Sasuke slid his fingers out of her. Then he kissed her, not stopping for a long time. She couldn't hold back the upturn of her lips as she leaned back into the bed and pulled him with her. She had pushed all thoughts aside about him leaving on a mission in the morning, about the dangers that came with that. What was happening right now was the only thing filling her mind and the fact that she honestly couldn't believe that she was this happy. She never thought Sasuke would care about her in any way other than a friend or ever want her like this but it was obvious he did.

She knew what was coming next. Sakura wasn't stupid, she knew that her first time was going to hurt, she specialized in medicine for one thing. She wasn't sure Sasuke knew, but he was going to find out sure enough.

Once he did pull away for air he positioned himself at her entrance before pushing slowly inside. She started to feel a sense of relief. It didn't hurt that bad... At first. Whatever relief she felt in the next few seconds was gone when he got deeper, a sharp pain shooting through her.

Sakura's hands immediately found his shoulders, stopping him as she lay her head back on the bed and bit her bottom lip. She could feel the tears burning behind her eyes as she shut them tight, waiting for it all to subside. Only a few short moments passed before her breathing began to slow as she relaxed, adjusting to him and soon that pain began to turn to pleasure.

She slowly opened her eyes to look at him. She moved her hands from his shoulders, letting them fall to his arms and gave them a gentle squeeze as if to give him the go ahead.

Sakura had caught that look on his face before she had closed her eyes. He looked almost guilty over something, but she had no idea what about. The only thing that could even possibly come to mind was the fact that she had been in a bit of pain only a few moments ago but she knew what to expect, she knew what she was getting herself into and it was bound to happen sometime.

"I'm okay."

She smiled at him gently and she felt him start to move.

He was being so careful with her, and that only went to show how he felt about her. She knew Sasuke didn't feel the same way about her right now, but he had admitted more than she had expected him to. Everything he had said and done up until now was more than enough for her to forgive him for anything he had ever done to hurt her. She loved him, and she couldn't imagine one thing she'd ever want to hold against him.

She placed a hand against the back of his neck, pulling him down as she leaned up. Sakura gave him a tender kiss that was short and gentle before she leaned back again, letting out a moan. It felt damn good now.

"Don't hold back," she whispered tohim.

She just wanted him to go with what he felt. Regardless, this felt amazing to her, at least now it did, and she could already feel a pressure gathering inside of her. She moved her hips with him as she leaned up, kissing his neck.

Sasuke didn't hesitate, his thrusts speeding up as he let his body do what it wanted.

"Sakura…" he gasped out, his voice filled with want.

Sasuke wasn't that hard to convince. At least, that was what Sakura noticed. He was going with what he was feeling and she couldn't get enough of it.

She loved the way his hips were moving, they way that it felt like every time he pushed into her he seemed to get deeper. He was hitting a spot within in her that made her gasp each time simply because she felt him hitting that sweet spot.

She kept up kissing his neck for as long as she could, but soon it became too much. She wasn't sure what it was, but before she knew it she felt like something exploded inside of her. Like she had fallen off an edge and it felt great.

She let out a loud moan as she leaned back into the bed, knowing she had hit her peak. It was unlike anything she had ever felt before, and she loved it. That was enough to send him over the edge as well, causing him to moan loudly as he finished, his entire body feeling the amazing effects.

Sasuke was still for a moment, catching his breath after. He planted a soft kiss on Sakura's lips. Then he slowly raised himself off of her and rolled over onto his back, lying next to her on the bed.

She smiled. He had seemed to enjoy himself, despite the fact he seemed as out of breath as she was. There was another thing making her smile though. She knew this wasn't just a fling between them and for the first time she felt like he really knew how much she cared about him... Loved him. The worry was still there about his mission tomorrow, but she found it slightly easier to believe that he was coming back. She had to believe it, absolutely had to.

He closed his eyes, still catching his breath. He didn't say anything as he laid there, just breathing.

Sakura had no idea how long she lay there before she looked over to Sasuke, turning herself towards him.

"Let's get some sleep, okay?"

"Hn," he grumbled in response.

She pushed herself up to where she was hovering over him just enough so that she could kiss him. When she pulled back she couldn't help it as she smiled at him again, brushing the hair out of his face.

"Thank you."

She could only whisper the phrase to him before she pushed herself out of the bed and made her way to the living room to turn off the light and grab their shirts.

"For what?" he asked, opening his eyes suddenly as she was already leaving.

When she came back, her eyes adjusted quickly to the darkness in the room. Sasuke had just set her clothes on the dresser, a slight blush rising on her cheeks at the bra that was sitting on top.

She followed suit and tossed his shirt in the hamper before setting hers with the rest of her clothes. She almost considered getting dressed and going home so he could sleep, but she wanted to be here with him for as long as she could before he had to go.

"For caring about me," she said, finally answering his question.

She knew she stole the answer from him, but it basically summed up her 'thank you.'

She closed the distance between them, wrapping her arms around him and placing a kiss on his chest before she took a deep breath.

"C'mon."

She pulled away from him, her hand finding his as she gave it one gentle tug in the direction of the bed as she got in, pulling the blankets around her. She didn't even realize how tired she was until her head hit the pillow. A yawn escaped her as she turned on her side, all to ready to just sleep.


Sakura woke up in a groggy state of mind like she had just woken from a coma. A yawn escaped her as she rolled over, almost expecting to be met with her ceiling.

Then it all hit her. What they had done last night, the fact she was still at Sasuke's, still in his bed, and the list could go on. A smile spread across her face as she started to listen. She could hear his shower turning off in the other room. She honestly wouldn't have a single objection if she could wake up like this every morning. Or better yet, with him still next to her.

She rolled back over to face the dresser, staring at her clothes for a minute, debating on getting dressed or not. She was half way tempted to see if Sasuke would wake her or not before he left. Sakura was positive he would, but then again she was also curious as to how he would wake her.

When they were kids she could remember him once nudging her awake with his foot, and although it wasn't all too flattering, it was better than being kicked awake like he had done Naruto.

She didn't see the harm in testing him, and there was no doubt in her mind she was still tired. Pulling her pillow towards her she buried her face in it, closing her eyes. It wasn't that hard to pretend to be asleep.

It wasn't much longer before he walked back into the bedroom, eyes gazing on her in the bed. She wasn't even pretending anymore by the time he came back in the room. One moment she had been listening to him open the bathroom door and the next she could feel him touching her hair and then shoulder. She hadn't meant to fall back to sleep, but it had just been too easy. Plus, the fact that his apartment was so comfortable to her, it felt like she was already at home.

He walked over and sat on the bed beside where she was laying, just looking at her for a moment. His hand brushed against her hair, then trailed down to rest on her shoulder.

"Sakura, wake up."

Sakura slowly opened her eyes for the second time, turning her head to look at him.

"Morning."

She smiled at him gently as she took in his appearance. He was in his mission clothes, ready to go apparently, and to top it all off he was wearing a forehead protector. She found herself staring at the metal plate longer than anything though. She never thought they day would come where she'd see him wear one of those again, at least one with the Konoha insignia on it. It was so nostalgic to see him with it on.

She reached up, flicking the protector once before dropping her hand to the bed, a short chuckle escaping her.

"It looks good on you."

"Hn."

Sasuke brought a hand up and touched the cold metal.

"It's too shiny," he grumbled.

Sakura could only raise an eyebrow, giving him an 'are you kidding me' look. A chuckle escaped her as she turned more on her back to look at him.

"Yeah, I can see myself in it. I look real good in the mornings, huh?"

She laughed again and took the hand he had placed on her shoulder in hers, running her fingertips over his palm as she smiled up at him.

His eyes scanned her up and down. "Considering what you're wearing, you don't look so bad," he said, very amused.

She blushed at his comment as she tried to fight off a smile. There it was again, him saying something that was the last thing she expected and catching her off guard. She didn't say anything though, figuring that could be a conversation they could save for a time when neither of them had to go anywhere. Sakura could only answer him with a playful shrug and then run a hand through her hair in some attempt to smooth it down.

She knew he was about to have to leave, but she couldn't bring herself to tell him bye just yet. She wanted to tell him to be careful, to come see her when he came back, to not kill Naruto cause she was sure the blond wasn't going to miss Sasuke's first official out of the village mission since his coming back. She wanted to tell him a million things, but she wasn't about to bring up anything that led on just how worried she still was about him.

Sasuke frowned. "I have to go. I can't be late."

Her smile didn't last long, fading to something a bit more to a look of worry. Tucking the sheet of his bed under her arm she sat up and kissed him gently.

"Look after yourself, please. I don't mean to keep repeating myself, but..." She trailed off, knowing that she was getting her point across.

She loved him, and if she lost him again she wasn't going to be able to handle it. Sakura was sure he could get along without her, but she needed him. It was a selfish way of thinking, but he was like oxygen to her. She just wouldn't survive it.

"I'll be careful."

"I'm just going to borrow your shower and then I'll be sure to lock up when I leave. You better get going or Naruto's gonna come busting through your door wondering where you are and then how in the world am I gonna explain being in your bed without any clothes on?"

Sasuke frowned, looking annoyed. "Naruto's probably still asleep."

She gave a half-hearted laugh to try and keep the subject of his going light. She wasn't going to put herself in a situation where she started crying again.

"I'll see you when you get back," she said.

"I'll see you again soon."

And with that he was gone, walked out of the room and then out of the apartment without looking back.

A sigh escaped her before she lay back down, staring at the ceiling for a long time, her thoughts revolving around the said boy. He'd come back, hopefully without a scratch on him. That was the mantra she would be repeating to herself over and over again.

She wasn't sure however long passed before she pushed herself out of bed and grabbed her clothes, disappearing into his bathroom and taking a hot shower. She made sure to make his bed and clean up his apartment some before she locked up and left.

She made a mental note to ask him if there was something of his she could have to hold onto whenever he went on missions, something to remind herself that he'd be back for it. It would probably be the only thing to keep her sane.
