I do NOT own Naruto or its characters.

SAKURA'S POV

I opened the door to my house, hoping he would follow me inside. I took a deep breath while sliding off my shoes, placing them on the rack and setting my belongings down. I started to feel doubt until I heard his footsteps walk onto the porch before feeling his chakra signature flare up. I smiled to myself and wondered if he was nervous too. "I'll go set up the spare room for you, Naruto was the last one in it the other day when he crashed after drinking too much sake. The baka has the worst tolerance for alcohol I swear." I laughed, walking down the hall towards the bedroom. "Naruto stays here?" He muttered with an annoyed tone. "Yeah occasionally. I don't like being alone and it makes me happy to keep company." I stated, turning to face him while offering a smile. He looked at me with a blank face and I studied it just trying to pick even a piece of an emotion off of it. When I couldn't and realized he wasn't going to say anymore I turned and continued into the room. "There are some pajamas Naruto left for when he stays here. I'll set them out for you and some toiletries in the hall bathroom, if you need anything." I yelled out to him only to yelp when I turned back to see him in the doorway.

He is so damn quiet it's like being in stealth mode 24/7. "I'll pass on Naruto's used clothes. I'm more of a boxer only kind of guy." He said with signs of a faint smile reaching his eyes and mouth. Sasuke Uchiha in my house. With only boxers on. I started to picture it in my head and my mouth became dry. I guess it was obvious what I was imagining because Sasuke rolled his eyes and placed his pack on the floor before standing back in the doorway. "If you're gonna undress me with your eyes Sakura could you please not do it in front of me? It's weird." He said with sarcasm thick in his voice. My cheeks flared up nice and red as I loudly gasped. "As if! I was not Sasuke!" I yelled pushing past him trying to hide the sheer embarrassment that was all over my face. I must have looked like a child who was caught by their parents with their hand in the cookie jar. I walked into my room, closing the door while grabbing my sleep clothes and toiletries to go take a shower. "I am going to take a shower, do you need in the bathroom before I go in?" I questioned walking back to his door. He looked up at me from the bed with eyes that knew how to make a girl weak. "Let me brush my teeth first?" He asked me, while getting up and grabbing a small bag. He brushed past me while stepping into the bathroom and closing the door behind him.

"Do you want to watch a movie or something when I am done?" I asked through the door after I heard the sink shut off. It was quiet for a few moments before the door opened revealing a shirtless Sasuke in a pair of gray sweats. "Hn." was all he said once again stepping past me and walking into his room to place his belongings down before returning and walking to the living room. I walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower to max heat. I took down my hair and shut the door behind me. After taking off my clothes and placing them in the hamper I climbed into the shower and under the hot water. The water felt amazing as it worked through all my knots. I washed up and shaved my body before rinsing off. I stood under the hot water for a few more moments until I felt the heat start to dwindle. With a sigh I shut off the water and dried off. I wiped the mirror so I could see myself. My face was flushed. I brushed my teeth and hair before towel drying it some more and slipping on my pajamas. Checking my appearance once more. My hair had hung to the middle of my back with a slight wave to it.

I had on my favorite pair of black sweats and burgundy crop top with my fuzzy black socks on. I took a deep breath before opening the bathroom door and walking to the living room. Sasuke was sitting on the couch with one of my medical books in his hands studying it carefully. He glanced up at me before looking back to the book. I smiled and walked over to the couch grabbing the remote off the coffee table and flopping back next to him on the couch. I turned around grabbing the throw blanket off the back of the couch and spread it over me. "You want some blankets too?" I asked Sasuke while turning on the tv and glancing over at him. He sat still for a few moments not answering then he closed my book, setting it back down and pulling the blanket overtop of him as well. I grinned before turning to the tv and selecting a random movie. After a few minutes of watching the scene on the tv started to get a little too hot and heavy as the characters latched on to each other and started going into full on sex scene.

Sasuke cleared his throat loudly as I had already started to panic and was trying to change the channel. I laughed nervously, not daring to glance over. The next show I turned on took an even more awkward turn. There was a young female character who was standing on a dock. She was speaking to a young man with a tearful look in her eyes. "Please don't leave!" The girl shouted, grabbing his arm. "Don't you see? I love you and we can stay together! You don't have to do this, please I am begging you to stay with me!" The girl cried. " I have to. I can't let him get away with what he has done to my family!" The man seethed, yanking his arm away from the sobbing girl. I could feel the mood change in the room and I felt Sasuke tense beside me. Is that really how pathetic I looked? The memory flashed back in my mind begging him not to leave. Pleading for him to stay and accept and acknowledge my love for him.

It was Sasuke who reached for the remote this time as he turned off the tv and the black screen revealed our faces. He had a torn look on his face like he was feeling something unpleasant. My face for once just looked blank with no sight of emotion on it. "This is why I stick to books." Sasuke said while shifting his weight uncomfortably picking back up the book. I laughed awkwardly and grabbed my cell phone off the table as he picked up the book again. I had a few unread text messages and 2 missed calls. They were from Naruto. I pressed play and then put it to my ear. "Hi-ya Sakura-Chan. It's me, Naruto! Hehe" He chuckled. As if I didn't know that I laughed. "So um, teme is supposed to stay over here tonight but something has um.. come up.. and I was wondering if he could stay with you? Tell him I'm sorry and I'll see you guys tomorrow! Oh yeah and guess what!? Tell Sasuke to guess who beat him in getting a girlfriend first! Kissing and having a girlfriend? Damn I am the top dog! Anyways I better get off the phone now! Goodnight Sakura-Chan!" Naruto laughed before the message ended. I rolled my eyes while smiling. So Naruto finally asked her huh? I bet Hinata was over the moon! But what did he mean by telling Sasuke he beat him in getting a girlfriend? Or being first to kiss?

The remaining messages were from Tsunade telling me she will have to see me tomorrow to discuss materials for my mission. Another was from Ino telling me we had plans tomorrow with Hinata, Tenten, and Temari for lunch. I locked my phone and sat up looking at Sasuke. "Naruto called." I stated. He looked up at me and waited for me to continue. "He asked if you could stay over here because he was 'busy'. He also wanted me to tell you he is the so-called top dog now and has beat you at not only getting a first kiss, but also getting a girlfriend." I chuckled as his face grew light pink. "That idiot." He muttered angrily, looking away. Is he embarrassed? "Not having a first kiss isn't something to be nervous or embarrassed about. I haven't had mine yet either." I shrugged. "Unless you count the CPR that I had to give Naruto but I don't want to count that." I shuddered thinking about his slobbery mouth. I still wouldn't change it though to get to have my friend with me today. "Hn. I'm not embarrassed or nervous." He growled, snapping his head towards me while looking me in the eye with a serious look. "Sasuke-Kun, I'm not gonna judge you! It's 100% normal for a man to have feelings of nervousness when it comes to kissing a girl." I stated. "I told you Sakura. I'm not nervous!" He said exasperated. "Okay whatever you say Sasuke." I laughed. I don't know why he was denying it. Guys and their insecurities, I swear I don't know why they have to act so tough all the time. "Fine then, since you don't believe me. I'll prove it." He said matter of factly. Before I knew it he was grabbing my face with his hand and pulling it towards his lips.

I froze immediately. Was this really happening? I was going to kiss Sasuke after all this time. But, was he just doing it to prove a point or did he really want to kiss me too? Sasuke stopped his face just a few inches from mine and didn't break eye contact with me. "Wait. Are you okay with this?" He questioned hesitantly barely over a whisper. So he did care about me and how I felt.. His sweet breath fanned across my face making my head swim and my heart swoon. Before I could even think about what I was doing something came over me and I closed those few inches crashing our lips together. Electricity sparked where our skin touched, and I wondered if he felt it to. My hand darted up to the back of his head and snaked its way through his silky black locks. Sasuke froze for a moment before his lips began to move in sync with my own. Every tear I had ever shed for this man was all worth it the second our lips touched. They glided along with each other effortlessly. His hand went up my back and to the back of my head once again pulling us as close as our bodies would allow. Our mouths danced together for a few moments longer before we both reluctantly broke away gasping for air. My hand floated up to my lips as I felt how swollen they were and tried to catch my breath.

I glanced up at Sasuke and his cheeks were stained pink and his lips matched mine. His expression was somewhere between disbelief and ecstasy and his sharingan had flared to life during our encounter and was glowing with a red fire in it. Quickly you could see it shift to a calm collected look and his eye deactivated, returning to its onyx pool that I was used to seeing. He smirked down at me and his breathing started to even. "I'm sorry about that Sasuke-Kun." I laughed out awkwardly, while bowing my head to him. "I'm not sure what that was all about." I murmured more to myself than him. "Hn. Told you I wasn't nervous." He retorted, looking away. Oh yeah. That's what we were talking about before I attacked him with my mouth. "Haha, yeah you're right. I didn't detect any nervousness there." I sighed leaning back. He was quiet for a moment before clearing his throat uncomfortably. "So, uh.. how was it?" He asked innocently. A small smile formed on my lips and I locked eyes back with him. His face was calm but I could faintly see traces of curiosity on it. Hm, I held the power to knock the great Sasuke Uchiha off of his high horse for once. I couldn't let him know that it was without a doubt the best thing I have ever experienced in my life. No that wouldn't do and he would continue to hold all the power. "Eh.. It was okay I guess, for a first kiss.." I joked, rolling my eyes and averting them away from him. One look and I know he would sense my deceit. "Just okay? It didn't seem just 'okay' when you were pulling my hair." He growled, grabbing my face trying to look me in the eye. I tried my damndest to not look but when he wouldn't quit I finally peered into his determined eyes.

I saw a fire burning in them and curiosity flowing around. Determination was all over his face as he raised his eyebrows to me not budging. "How was it really Sakura?" He questioned in a hushed voice dragging out my name sound like a siren's song that only he could do. My cheeks felt as though they would melt off my face and my logical thoughts once again turned to mush as I watched his face turn to amusement. He knew I was lying already? I knew all it would take was one look. "Well, um. It was.." I stammered out. God I felt like Hinata. His face inched closer and closer to me but his eyes never left mine. Once again he stopped just a few inches away. "Go on." He demanded. Delicious. Dreamy. Bliss. What I imagined heaven to be like. What would I say? "Better than I've ever imagined, and believe me. I have imagined it." I whispered, as he closed the gap once more rewarding me for my honesty." I whispered, as he closed the gap once more rewarding me for my honesty

Sasuke POV

I couldn't get enough. My thoughts all became quiet and I could finally think when my lips touched hers. Why is that? Normally there are so many bad memories and too many thoughts floating around my head and I have no other choice but to keep up my guard. But when I am with her like this, it's like I can breathe again. I can be just Sasuke Uchiha the man, and not Sasuke Uchiha the sole survivor. Not the one who has committed so many crimes or spilled so much blood. I just felt at peace. I didn't want to stop. I felt the peace and all her love rush through my veins and pump through my heart. I wanted more. I haven't felt these feelings ever in my life and I didn't want to ever stop feeling them. I felt her push closer and next thing I knew I had my back pressed to the couch with her on top. I wrapped my sole arm around her back trying to get more. She pulled her face away to my dismay but my lungs were relieved. We stared at each other for a moment longer before I felt the peace start to dissipate. I closed the distance again and continued filling up my reserves with the calming clarity her touch brought. We must have been there for hours and the kisses became giggles and sweet words were exchanged. My body felt so at ease that before I knew it I was drifting off with a certain pink haired woman holding my body down from floating into the black void that I usually close my eyes to.

I awoke to knocking at the door and felt a weight on my chest. I opened my eyes while feeling disoriented. Where was I? I caught sight of pink nestled on my chest and then it all came rushing back to me. All the kisses, sweet nothings, and exchanges of life events leading up to our reunion. Another rapid set of knocks pulled me out of my thoughts and I shifted Sakura's weight off of me and onto the couch trying not to wake her. I stood up feeling annoyed for having been woken up and walked to answer the door. I opened it as the cool air froze my skin making me growl. There stood Ino Yamanaka with her mouth agape and eyes bulging. "What do you want?" I asked annoyedly, rubbing my eyes. She stood there for a moment longer looking dumbstruck before shaking her head. "Good morning... Sasuke-Kun. Uh, didn't expect to see you...here... uh.. shirtless." She said nervously staring down at my chest. I rolled my eyes, growing even more impatient. "Again Ino, what do you want?" I growled. Her eyes flashed up to my face before looking past me to the living room at a sleeping Sakura on the couch. She narrowed her eyes before they got a mischievous glint in them. "You guys have a long night?" She laughed looking down at the place between my shoulder and neck. I rolled my eyes again. "Me and forehead are supposed to go to lunch." She finally stated looking back up at my face. "Lunch? What time is it?" I asked, looking around. "It's 12:30." She laughed. showing me the time on her phone. Shit we slept all morning. I never sleep this late.

I stepped aside letting Ino pass me and came inside before closing the door walking back to the room I was supposed to sleep in to grab my clothes for a shower. I walked into the bathroom, starting up the shower and closing the door. I could hear the conversation unfold in the other room as I climbed into the hot water. "Hey forehead, wake up! It's 12:30!" Ino screamed. Tch. Annoying, that's not how to properly wake someone up. I actually feel bad for Sai for having to deal with that. "Ino? What are you doing here? Where's Sasuke?" I finally heard Sakura grumble out. I started washing my body. "Well, I've tried texting and calling you all morning and you weren't answering. Your phone was going straight to voicemail. I can see now you must have been really... busy." Ino laughed. I imagined Sakura's cheeks became flush after what Ino was insinuating. "Shut up Ino-Pig! I don't know what you're talking about. Me and Sasuke-Kun just fell asleep watching a movie, that's all." Sakura lied. I chuckled to myself remembering once again how far that statement was stretched from the truth. The movies were awful ideas. "Oh yeah? I didn't know you could get hickeys from just 'watching a movie'! I've only ever got those from getting down to business!" Ino laughed.

Hickey? I looked down on the spot where I remembered Ino looking earlier. Sure enough there was a purplish mark shaped into Sakura's mouth. My mind drifted back to last night and feeling her mouth explore my shoulders and chest. I remembered the way her voice sounded when mine explored her neck. I felt my core start to heat up and my blood rush down south. I shook my head and adjusted the water temperature to cold trying to let that bring my body back under my control. It had grown quiet in the other room besides hearing footsteps take off towards Sakura's bedroom and then her yelp. "Oh my gosh Ino! You can't say anything about this to anyone!" Sakura pleaded. Ino laughed "That's a pretty decent size one too. Better cover up!" I must have accidentally left one on her too. That's not like me making mistakes. I shut off the shower and heard Sakura shush her. Once finished drying off and dressing I brushed my teeth. I made sure my new mark was covered by my shirt and I fastened my head wrap to hold my hair over my rinnegan. I opened the door before walking to the room, placing my stuff back in my pack. Sakura was going to want to talk about last night but I didn't know how to. I sighed.

There was a knock on the door before I turned to see Sakura standing in the doorway. She had on a red short dress with the split on the thigh with beige tights on and her black shorts. Her hair was left down and rested below her chest. She had a nervous look on her face and wouldn't look me in the eye. Yeah she was definitely going to want to talk about this later. Great. "Hey I am going out with Ino for lunch.. Did you want to come?" She asked hesitantly. I had some stuff I needed to take care of before leaving tomorrow, so I just shook my head no. Her eyes looked upset but she nodded before turning away. "There is a spare key on the counter, if you plan on coming back later. I'll be gone awhile." She said pausing with her back turned from me. "Hn." was all I could get out. She continued walking out of the house grabbing her tan cloak at the door and putting on her boots. Ino opened the door and Sakura followed her out. I stood there for a moment longer in the doorway before walking to the kitchen and taking the key off the counter. I donned my cloak and put on my shoes before locking the door and exiting the house.

Naruto POV

I sleepily opened my eyes and did a loud yawn while stretching my arms

I sleepily opened my eyes and did a loud yawn while stretching my arms. Looking over at the clock I noticed it was 1:15 PM. Damn, I slept well! I thought while smiling to myself. I sat up in bed and noticed a note sitting on my desk. I walked over and picked it up. It was from Hinata.

"Naruto-Kun, last night was amazing! Thank you for your kind words and even kinder touch. I'm sorry I left before you woke up, but I made plans with Sakura, Ino, Temari, and TenTen for lunch. It is still early as I am writing this to you and you looked too peaceful to wake. I'll see you later today! Love, your girlfriend Hinata."

My face formed a grin at the word girlfriend and my mind thought back to last night...

We had finished taking all of the food to the children's center for Sakura-Chan. We walked hand in hand on the way back to my house. All the thought of food had made me hungry for some ramen and I figured I'd take Hinata to my place to try out my newest flavor for a dinner date. We made ramen and ate while talking about our upcoming mission. Then the thought occurred to me. What if she meets someone else while we're in the new village? What if whoever the guy was braver than me and asked her to be his? As I looked up at her angelic face with her beautiful lavender eyes. I couldn't risk it. Now was the time. All I had to do was just grow a pair. I mean if I am going to be hokage one day I need to get used to doing things I was not used to! She looked up at me with a timid face. "Naruto-Kun, are you okay? Is there something on my face?" She questioned wiping around. I laughed loudly and shook my head.

"No no no Hinata!" I chuckled, grabbing her hand. "I just.. I was just looking at your beauty!" I explained. Her face grew red and she sighed picking back up her chopsticks. I loved that Hinata still gets flustered around me, not that I know why she does.. "Hey Hinata?" I asked, rubbing the back of my neck as the nerves started to kick in. "Yes?" she said not looking up from her bowl of ramen. "Um, so uh.. we've been going on a lot of dates and spending a lot of time together.. and I was just wondering ya know ... if uh that meant we were boyfriend and girlfriend?" I managed to finally spit out. Damn that wasn't nearly as smooth as I wanted it to go! I chuckled nervously as Hinata gasped and dropped the chopsticks finally looking up. "We-well Naruto, I wasn't sure either actually.." Hinata said unsurely. Had I made her doubt my feelings? I'm sure she has to know what I feel for her right? Then I remembered Sakura's words to me the other day. "You can't just assume that a girl knows how you feel about them Naruto! You need to express what is really in your heart or else she might get mixed signals you baka!" Ah! Sakura-Chan was right! Now that I am thinking about it I don't think I have ever really told Hinata how I feel!

"Hinata, I'm sorry. I have been quite rude here recently.. I am not really used to talking about my feelings in an intimate way. It has never really come up until now. I haven't really had the right … uh.. guidance. But that is no excuse! I need to try harder! So starting now I am going to tell you how I feel! Hinata it makes me feel so happy when you're around and my heart starts beating all funny. My hands sometimes get sweaty too which is kind of gross.. Anyway, I like that I can be myself around you and you don't make my feel stupid. I like that you've always been there for me even when the going has gotten rough. I guess what I am trying to say is.. Hinata. I know I am not a very smart man or a calm one at that. But what I do know is I am a man who puts his whole heart into something when he really believes in it! I believe in us Hinata and I believe that we are supposed to be together! So, Hinata.. will you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?" I said, smiling brightly at her. Her eyes had softened and her hand was over her mouth with tears in her eyes. "Yes Naruto-Kun!" She laughed, hugging me tight. I kissed her mouth as hard as I could, pouring all my happy thoughts and excitement into the kiss. She pulled back after a few minutes and smiled widely at me while standing up. "Excuse me for a moment.." She said nervously while walking to the bedroom with her bag clutched tight. After a few minutes she called me back and when I walked into the room seeing what she was wearing... Lets just say I am the luckiest man on the planet..

Shaking my head and coming back to the present moment I heard something like a drawer close in my kitchen. That's weird Hinata left already. Maybe she came back for something. I smiled and stripped down to my boxers using the memories of Hinata last night in her red lacy lingerie to get downtown fired up. Once it was good and standing at attention, I masked my chakra signature ready to really surprise her. I crept into the kitchen and was confused, no one was in there. Not even a second later I felt a presence charge at me. Turning to defend myself I paused once noticing who it was. Sasuke?! He had stopped mid-charge and got an uncomfortable look on his face. "TEME WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TRYING TO ATTACK ME?!" I screamed, shaking my first at him. His face grew annoyed but still visibly uncomfortable. "I was making food and I felt someone start to creep up. Why the hell are you sneaking up half naked with a boner you dobe!?" He shot back venomously. Oh shit! I forgot looking down and noticing my uncomfortable bulge. I grabbed a pillow off the couch and covered up. "I thought you were Hinata!" I yelled awkwardly. "That's gross." He started calmly walking back into the kitchen.

I groaned. Well this is awkward not to mention I have now showed teme all my goods just about. "You don't knock first?" I was annoyed. He rolled his eyes "Go put on some pants your baby carrot is grossing me out." My face grew red. Baby carrot more like an elephant trunk! Who does he think he is. I growled rolling my eyes and went to search for clothes. When I finished dressing I walked back to the kitchen and Sasuke had finished making food. I laughed nervously rubbing the back of my head. "Haha, sorry about that Sasuke. Can we just pretend that didn't happen?" I asked still feeling uncomfortable. He looked me in the eye smugly and then rolled his eyes. "I made lunch." Teme can cook since when? "You sure it won't make me sick" I joked. "Really funny you dobe. I know how to cook." He stated like it was obvious. "Yeah yeah we'll see about that!" I laughed sitting down and scooping some onto my plate. I took a bite. My eyes widened. "This is better than Sakura-Chan's cooking!" I screamed, shoveling more into my mouth. "Don't tell her I said so though she can be really scary!" I said before chewing and swallowing. His face grew slightly pink at the mention of her name. What's that all about?

"Why're you blushing over the mention of Sakura-Chan?" I asked while examining his face. His eyes narrowed into slits and he turned his head away. "I'm not blushing. Especially not about Sakura." He huffed. Neither me nor him looked like we believed a word. Oh my gosh, he stayed at Sakura-Chan's house last night. Something must have happened! "Sasuke you sly dog! What did you two do last night at your sleepover?" I questioned grabbing his shirt looking him in the eye. Sasuke was definitely hiding something and the blush was really there. I laughed hard at the realization that he was embarrassed. He yanked my hand away before standing up. "Come on teme you're not into kissing and telling?" I joked. "I don't know what you're talking about." He growled. "Yeah yeah I'm sure you don't. But I bet Sakura-Chan would know a thing or two!" I said smugly, turning around to grab my phone.

Sasuke knocked it out of my hand and pinned me up to the wall. Boy was he sensitive. "Quit Naruto. It is none of your business!" He said between sneered teeth. I rolled my eyes. "If it involves Sakura-Chan, then IT IS MY BUSINESS. She is like my sister and if anyone tries anything to take advantage or hurt her then they will answer me!" I yelled back, yanking out of his grasp. His face dropped and he looked away. "I'm not going to hurt her. I don't even know what to make of any of what happened last night. I don't know what any of it means." He said looking defeated. Was 'The Great Sasuke Uchiha' needing lady advice.. from me? This is golden. I smirked walking over to him putting a hand on his shoulder. "Come on Sasuke. Let's go for a walk." I said, grabbing my black coat and opening the door.
