Chapter Fourty

"It's Sakura, open up." She said while knocking on the locked bathroom door, with a bag of ice in her hand. Though they had broken up almost three weeks ago, she still felt obligated to care for him, especially now that he started a senseless fight over her.

Opening the bathroom door, he leaned against the doorframe and looked into her eyes, "What?" Rolling her eyes, she moved him aside, and walked into the bathroom, a sigh left his lips as he closed the door behind her.

  "I'm fine, Sakura." He said, only to be silenced as she gently grabbed his hand, making him wince from the pain. "Ow, st-" She cut him off, by pressing the bag of ice to his wrist.

"You have to stop fighting my battles for me, Sasuke. I stopped letting that stuff bother me forever ago." She said while rummaging through the bathroom cabinets, in search of medical tape for his wrist, as he sat on the closed toilet lid.

"He had it coming." Was all he said, making her roll her eyes, "You don't have to stand up for me though, I had it under control." He rolled his eyes, "You call a guy embarrassing you in front of everyone having it, "Under control?" Come on, Sakura."

"What do you mean come on? You're not my boyfrien-" She stopped talking abruptly, and he stood up from his seat, making her take a step back. "Exactly, I'm not your boyfriend, so why are you here right now? I didn't ask for your help."

With her eyes looking into his, she saw the pained look in them, and spoke in a softer tone to prevent an argument. "You've never been so impulsive before, and you're obviously in pain, so tell me what's up. I was your friend before anything else, and I care about you so much, Sasuke." She said truthfully, while taking a step toward him.

As his onyx eyes looked into her's, they both could feel the tension rising, and it put anxiety in the both of them. Honestly he was still annoyed that she acted as if she wasn't remotely effected by their break up, and he knew how toxic it was to actually think that, instead of loving the fact that she was doing good.

A sigh left his lips, and he avoided her gaze, "It's selfish." He prefaced, making her smile a little, while wrapping his hand in medical tape, "That's okay."

"Do you ever.....think about me?" The question made her look into his eyes for a moment, watching as his onyx eyes seemed to soften. Her hands moved on their own, as she finished wrapping his bruised hand.

Though a moment of silence engulfed them, he saw a cute pout come to her plump lips, before she sighed deeply. "You want the truth?" Hesitantly, he nodded his head.

"I haven't. My thoughts have been full of myself lately, because I'm really trying to stay sober." She admitted, making him ask, "Does the thought of me make you want to relapse?"

Though he tried to hide it, the hurt in his voice made her tell him the complete truth. "Of course not. It's just scary sometimes to think of things that could potentially trigger me, and though you don't trigger me yourself, sometimes I think about the night we broke up. That night..... I-I relapsed."

When she said that her eyes widened as she saw tears come to his eyes, "W-what? I'm so sorry, I was such a dick that night, I didn't think about anything that was coming out my mouth, Sakura." In an attempt to calm him down, she wrapped her arms around him, and pulled him into a warm embrace. "Sasuke."

As she spoke to him in such a soft tone, she felt his arms as they held her closer to his body. "Don't apologize, you were completely right. I shouldn't of given you the responsibility of my sobriety like I did, and frankly I'm sorry for putting so much pressure on you. Like you said, I'm finally taking my own advice, and I'm genuinely doing better."

A small smile came to his face when she said that, because he was happy for her. Even when Sasuke was on the brink of losing his mind, just to know that Sakura was doing well, gave him some peace of mind.

  "And I know that things are weird right now, but, Sasuke?" Her face was a mere inch away from his, while their arms held each other closely, "I'll always love you." When she said that, she lightly kissed his cheek, and as she pulled away, he kissed her coated lips.

Once their lips met, she tried not to fall back into old habits, and pulled away. "We shouldn't, Sasuke." She said while subconsciously staring at his awaiting lips.

"You're right, I'm sorry, Sakura, I-I just miss you so much." He admitted, and it was practically music to her ears, as a blush came to her face. "I miss you too, Sasuke."

Though both of them knew better, once Sakura said, "One last time," and kissed his lips with a fiery passion that broke the tension, their senses of logic went out the window. Kissing him gave her the same butterflies it always had, and as the delicate caress of her hands left his flesh with goosebumps that forced his butterflies to  come back.

His hands cupped her face as his teeth gently sunk into her bottom lip, and she smiled while pulling away slightly. "I missed your lips." He said softly, brushing his thumb against her plump bottom lip, before his hands moved to her exposed shoulders, and pulled down the straps of her cropped camisole, before pulling it off of her.

Pressing his lips against her neck, he kissed her flesh with purpose, leaving a trail of light bruises from her jaw to her hardened nipples. Feeling the light caress of his tongue on her breast made her moan, while running her fingers through his hair. Gently, she grasped his hair in her hand, and brought his lips back to her's.

As they kissed, Sakura moaned against his lips, while he massaged her breast. When she pulled her lips away, he opened his eyelids, and his onyx eyes watched her emerald orbs as they looked him up and down, before moving her hands to his waist, and getting on her knees.

Unbuckling his belt, she looked up into his eyes, and winked at him cutely, before pulling down his pants. His head fell back, and as he looked up at the ceiling, he let out a moan that made Sakura's core throb against her lacy panties. "Fuck, Sakura."

As her warm mouth worked her usual magic, he grasped the marble counter top with his uninjured hand, and looked down at her beautiful face. Bringing his wrapped hand to her, he gently grasped the back of her neck as she peered up into his eyes, while taking his entire length into her throat.

His hand gently made her head stay in place, and the warmth could've made him orgasm in seconds. Her hand on his made him let go, and when she pulled away to catch her breath, a trail of saliva fell against her perky breast. With her eyes staring into his, Sasuke caressed her cheek, making her blush.

Bringing her up to her feet, he kissed her lips. Their lips moved in perfect sync, as Sasuke reached behind her to unzip her miniskirt. When it fell to the tile floor, his hand grasped her bare ass with anticipation, and he could've let out a sigh of satisfaction.

The way her body seemed to mold perfect with his, made the both of them eager. Teasing her aching core with his fingers, Sasuke gently touched her as her thong prevented him from doing what she wanted.

Pulling her lips away from his, she tapped her finger tips against his blushing cheek, "Stop being a tease." She said with a cute smile, making him smile too. "You're so beautiful." He said while turning her around, and spreading her legs so that he could thrust into her awaiting walls.

Pulling her thong to the side, he had to remind himself not to release too fast as he saw how wet she was, before feeling how she clenched around his member. They both bit their bottom lips to keep from letting out moans, though they had no reason to worry because of the loud music coming from downstairs.

As she leaned against the counter, she looked at the mirror in front of them, and blushed as she saw how sexy he looked. "Sasuke. Look at us." She moaned, making them make eye contact as they saw their reflections.

Reaching back and placing her hand on his shoulder, she brought him forward to kiss her pale flesh. A soft smile came to her face as his lips whispered sweet nothings into her ear, while one of his hands grasped her's that held onto the counter for stability, he brought it to the mirror, unintentionally leaving behind their fingers prints. "You're so sexy, Sakura."

His throbbing rod thrusting into her, combined with his unoccupied hand that caressed the sensitive bulb between her legs, made her have an orgasm so intense that her thighs quaked. "Oh my God, r-right there!" She moaned loudly, just as she thought her legs would give out underneath her, Sasuke's throaty moans filled her ears, and she knew that he was close. "Fuck, Sakura."

Looking over her shoulder, she kissed his lips passionately, and gently tugged his bottom lip, making him open his eyelids to look into her innocent eyes, before he orgasmed. As he pulled out of her, his essence ran down her leg, but before it ruined her skirt he picked it up from the tiled floor, and she giggled cutely, while taking it from his hand.

Cleaning themselves off, they threw on their clothes, before they looked at each other while agreeing to what Sakura said, "Let's keep this between us." He nodded in agreement, and laughed a little while saying, "Yeah, we're just friends. Right?" Rolling her eyes, she took a step toward him while saying, "I meant it when I said it would be the last time."

Bringing his hand to her face, he moved her hair from her face, "Okay, then one last kiss?" Giggling, she leaned forward and met him halfway. Kissing for a moment, as music played from downstairs, the two of them decided to welcome the moment as if it were their last, though they both subconsciously hoped that it wasn't.

When she pulled away, she blushed while averting her gaze to the floor, "I heard you and the guys earlier, and I want you to come to my birthday weekend, Sasuke. It'll mean a lot to me."

Her hands moved to his pants, and she pulled away from his lips with a soft smile. "What about being just friends?" He teased, making her wink while her fingers zipped up his pants.

"Just friends, Sasuke." With that, she left the bathroom, with a cute smile on her face, and a blush on Sasuke's. "Ugh where have you been?"

A drunken Ino whined, making Sakura laugh a little. "Are you okay?" She nodded with a smile, and wrapped her arms around Sakura, "I'm fine. I'm so excited for your birthday. You're gonna be an adult."

As she hugged her friend, Sasuke came downstairs where he found his group of friends. "Where have you been?" He just shrugged, "Tending to my wound."

They nodded, "You're coming to Sakura's lake house, right?" When Temari asked that, Sasuke looked at Sakura who was a few feet away. She danced carelessly with Ino, and the genuine smile on her beautiful face made him smile.

"Yeah, she said she wanted me there." Naruto nodded and asked, "Then do you think you guys will get back together?" He just shrugged, "Honestly I never know what she wants anymore."

Shikamaru nodded in understanding while saying, "Women sure are troublesome." Temari rolled her green eyes at his comment, but before he could take it back, Naruto was talking about Hinata as he watched her from across the room.

"My fiancée isn't. She's too good for me, I still wonder how I managed to convince her to marry me." His blue orbs watched as she talked to Kiba and his date, with a clear fake smile on her face. Though he wondered why she didn't seem too happy, he still couldn't stop himself from getting butterflies in the pit of his stomach, from her beautiful face alone.

"We get it, Idiot, you're in love." Smiling at Sasuke he said, "Hell yeah I am." While walking away from them, and wrapping his arm around his fiancée's waist.

"Hello, Princess." He said with a smile, making her smile too before grabbing his hand and leading him toward the crowd of people. As she danced with him, her arms reached back to wrap around his neck, bringing him closer as he gently kissed her neck.

Though she didn't mean to, her eyes wandered across the room, where she saw Kiba, and a blush immediately came to her face. She was so flustered, because for a moment the entire party seemed to stop, and it was only the two of them; Even though, they were across the room from each other.

Feeling her gaze on him as he danced with his date, he looked into her lavender eyes. As he looked into her eyes, he felt like his mind was playing tricks on him, because the way she looked at him brought butterflies to his stomach.

He knew that he had made a mistake, once he saw her turn around in her boyfriends embrace, and kiss him so lustfully. In that moment, they both realized that things would never be the same between them, and instead of blaming the other, they blamed themselves.

Not wanting to address her guilt, Hinata pulled away from Naruto's lips with a smile, "Can we find a place more private?" He nodded with a blush on his face, before grabbing her hand. A cute giggle left her lips as he practically dragged her up the stairs.

Opening the first door they saw, Hinata pushed him into the laundry room. Chuckling a little as she started to unbuckle his belt, he asked, "The laundry room?" She giggled cutely, before kissing his neck. The feeling of her tongue against his bare flesh gave him goosebumps, as she asked him in an inviting tone, "Is that a problem?"

Immediately he shook his head, as she squatted down in front of him, and said with a smile, "Good." A moan followed from his lips, as her's engulfed his rod in her awaiting mouth. "A-ah."

After four shots of alcohol, Hinata didn't think twice about sucking her boyfriend off at a party, especially as she remembered just how much she liked to do it. The feeling of him inside of her mouth, as he begged for her to bring him to an orgasm fed her ego, because she felt powerful.

It was dark in the room, so dark that Naruto could hardly even see the outline of Hinata's body as she brought him so much pleasure. "God, right there." He moaned loudly with no remorse, while her tongue traced the sensitive area of his shaft.

Reaching up, she felt his hand that held onto the metal washing machine, and grabbed it before putting it on the back of her head. Knowing what she wanted, Naruto entangled his fingers in her hair, and gently pulled it, drawing a moan from her lips as her eyes peered up at his.

Even though it was dark, she could see him perfectly, and she wasn't disappointed. With her palm against his hip, Hinata took his entire length into her throat, making his head fall back as he grasped her thick hair. "F-fuck, Princess. I'm about to....fuck." He couldn't even finish his thought, before he erupted into her mouth.

She wasn't expecting it, and as she felt it fill her mouth, and slide down her throat, she had to remind herself to relax her throat, before pulling away, or else she would've thrown up.

  Helping her up, Naruto wasted no time in kissing her lips, making her smile as he started to unbutton her cropped top. Just as he undid the last one, they were interrupted by a pair who were drunkenly making out.

"Occupied!" Naruto called out, while stuffing himself back into his pants, as Hinata shielded her chest with a deep red blush. "Shit, sorr- wait, Hinata?" Kiba asked, making her blush even more red. "My god." She groaned, before he abruptly closed the door.

"That was awkward." Naruto muttered, as they both got dressed. "Tell me about it." Hinata responded, "It's fine, it's not like he hasn't seen you naked before." That made her roll her eyes while saying, "That wasn't funny." She started to walk out of the room, but he gently grasped her hand. "Hey, bad joke, I'm sorry."

"Yeah, whatever." Hinata mumbled, before leaving the room, while Naruto sighed deeply, mentally kicking himself for saying what he did.

Once he eventually left the room, he was met with Sasuke and his friend Jugo. "Hey." He said, leaning against the railing of TenTen's balcony, as he watched the people a few yards down, having fun at the party. "What's up?" Sasuke asked, while taking a sip of his hard seltzer that was starting to taste like an energy drink the more he drank.

Though he asked Naruto a question, he didn't listen as he watched Sakura closely. She had been dancing on a table with Ino, before Sai made them both get down to prevent any injuries, and now she stood in a circle of guys he recognized from school.

"For godsake, Sasuke, just go get her." Naruto groaned, "What?" He asked, before finishing off the can in his hand. "You've been staring at her all night. If you keep waiting she's going to find a guy who goes after what he wants." Jugo laughed at that, making Sasuke roll his eyes.

"You don't know what you're talking about." Naruto shrugged, "Maybe I don't. But if my eyes are doing me any justice right now, she has three guys competing for her attention right now, and you're not one of them."

His instigating only agitated him more, but he tried to be nonchalant by saying, "Until shes having sex with one of them I'm not concerned." That made him laugh, "God, Dude, you guys are still hooking up?" Sasuke shook his head, "I've said too much. I'm gonna go get another drink."

Wandering downstairs on his own, Sasuke tried his best to stay grounded as he was starting to drunkenly stumble. "Woah, you're drunk." Hinata said as he bumped into her accidentally.

"Shit, I'm so sorry!" He didn't realize how loud he was talking, and it made her laugh. "You wanna sit down?" She asked, and instead of waiting for a response, she draped his arm over her shoulders, and led him to a couch.

They sat next to each other, and though they were normally awkward with each other, as they spoke the conversation flowed with ease. "You've been watching her for a while, something happened, didn't it?"

Sasuke sighed deeply, and leaned back against the couch. "You'll find out from Naruto eventually." He mumbled, but before she could ask her question again, her mind drifted to Naruto. "God he was being such a dick earlier." That made him laugh, "What did he do?" She blushed at the memory, but kept talking as she sipped from her beverage.

"We had just got done...doing things, and then Kiba walked in accidentally with some girl. We were both like, "That was awkward," then he made a dumbass joke saying, "It's not like he hasn't seen you naked before."

That made him grimace, and she nodded while saying, "Exactly! Like that was a dick thing to say. God he just killed the entire fucking mood. I hate men." She groaned, making Sasuke laugh. "That was definitely a dumb thing to say, but as his best friend, I want you to know that it was probably just a joke. He's over whatever happened between you and Kiba."

Hinata sighed deeply, "Okay, because that's what I thought, but then he said that. But if you think so." Sasuke nodded, "I know he is. He just makes bad jokes."

Hinata laughed, and nodded in agreement, "Sometimes, yeah." Sasuke laughed while playfully placing his arm over her shoulders. "I love him for it though." She said with a smile, "You're the best thing to have ever happened to him." He said honestly, as they both rested their heads against each other's.

"I know you broke up with her, but you were the best thing to have happened to her in a long time too." That made him groan and close his eyelids, in an attempt to not cry in front of his best friends girlfriend. "I-I can't talk about that." He mumbled, making her nod in understanding. "I get it."

Back upstairs, Naruto talked to Jugo, before hearing Sakura's contagious laugh as she walked towards the area he was in. "Hey, Guys." She said with a smile, while talking to a guy who had his arm around her waist. Deciding to be a cock-block, Naruto asked her, "Hey, have you seen Sasuke?"

  A clear look of agitation came to her face, "N-no." "Oh, my bad. I just assumed, you know?" "Why would you just assume that I would know where he is? He's not my boyfriend anymore."

"I know, you guys are just friends, so I just tho-""You're so freaking annoying, Naruto!" Her yelling continued, and by the time she stopped insulting her friend, the guy and Jugo had left.

"You're a dick, you know that?" She said to him, making him take a sip from his beer. "Yeah, I guess so." When he said that, she glanced at him while leaning on the railing. "What happened? You're sulking."

"Hinata's mad at me." She nodded while sipping her cup of water. "Why?" He sighed, "I made a dumb joke about her sleeping with Kiba." That made her nod her head, "Well that'll do it. I thought you two had already made up for that though?"

"We did, I'm just an idiot." Sakura nodded, "Then are you still hurt by it? Maybe I'm reading into it, but it seems like it since you're still joking about it."

Naruto sighed deeply, and finished off his beer before answering her. "I forgave them a long time ago, Sakura. It's just...I don't know, she does things that she thinks I don't notice, you know?"

"Elaborate." She said, "Like today, we were dancing, and she was like staring at him from across the room. What made it worse was the way that he looked at her, and I know that she's hot. Hinata is just so gorgeous, and I know that guys look at her like that, but with Kiba, it's different, you know? He looks at her the same way I do. He loves her."

Sakura nodded, "And she loves you." He sighed dramatically, "She loves us both. I-I just don't want to look up one day and she's running off with our friend, you know?"

"That's not gonna happen, Naruto. I know Hinata, and you're the only guy she's ever romantically loved. You saw the way she instantly put Kiba to the side the minute she forgave you. You'll always be a priority for her, and if he was, they would've happened ages ago. You have nothing to worry about."

Sakura said truthfully, "Ugh, and I should know that, but if you just saw the way they looked at each other tonight." He continued, making her roll her eyes, "What was the joke anyways?"

"He walked in on us after she had just...helped me out, and I said that it wasn't like he hadn't seen her naked before." Shaking her head, she pushed his shoulder. "You didn't just slut-shame your fiancée, Naruto. Go apologize to her, right now."

Naruto groaned, "I did!" She rolled her eyes, before grabbing his hand, and dragging him downstairs. "That was a dick-move, Dude. Just tell her how you feel." Sakura said, while they searched for Hinata around the big house.

"There you are." Sakura said, finally seeing her and Sasuke as they sat next to each other, appearing to be asleep. "Me?" Hinata asked, while lifting her hand to look at the time on her watch.

"Yes you. Are you guys okay?" Sakura asked, before hearing Sasuke groan, "Sa...kura?"

In unison, Sakura and Hinata said, "You should talk to him." Making them both laugh, before Sakura grabbed Hinata's hand and said, "Let's trade."
