Immortals Chapter 26 - Existing

A pale hand knocked Ayame's arm as she was mid-sentence. She growled when she realised her pen had drawn a large, wobbly line across the page.

"Sasuke-kun...!" She hissed, turning to glare at him.

He shrugged innocently. "You're ignoring me. I don't like to be ignored."

"I'm ignoring you because I'm working! This maths homework needs to be done!"

"Let me tell you the answers, then, we can get to talking faster."

She paused. She remembered their run-in earlier with the "Fallen Angel", and realised she had so many questions to ask.

With a sigh of defeat, she nodded. "Alright."

The process was quick. She'd show him the question, and he'd give her the answer and all of the working out on a separate piece of paper if she needed it in a flash. When it was done, he kicked off his shoes, threw off his jacket, and relaxed on he bed. No words left his lips as he settled comfortably in the bed.

She rose an eyebrow. "That is my bed, you know."

"I know. Now get your ass over here so we can talk." He said, gesturing for her to come over. With a sigh, she rose to her feet, talking her time to walk over to her door, switch off the lights, and then head back over. He rolled his eyes and waited impatiently while she turned on the small fairy lights above the bed, before climbing into bed beside him.

She was in his arms in less than a second. She smiled when she felt his face nuzzling against the side of her head, and his arms tugging her closer. She never thought she'd ever be in a relationship, never mind with Uchiha Sasuke. If someone told her a month ago that she'd be cuddling in her bed with the Uchiha Sasuke in a few weeks time, she would have worried about the person's mental health.

"Mm, you're so warm." Sasuke mumbled, pressing her body flush against his. "I love how warm you always are. Not too hot, not too cold. Just right."

"You know, I'm still mad at you for egging on my dad earlier. Not to mention the pen situation." She whispered, looking up at his face in the small amount of light.

"I don't care." He mumbled, holding her closer. "I'll still be here."

Ayame sighed softly, before turning in his arms, looking up at him. "Is any of this real?" She asked quietly, looking at her fingers which were against his chest.

Sasuke said nothing, but pulled her closer. He placed his face right in front of hers, before whispering, "If none of it were real, would I kiss you like this?" He asked, leaning forwards. His lips met hers hungrily, desperately, as if to prove his point. She mumbled into his kiss, trying to argue back, to no avail. Eventually, she gave up, and instead kissed him back. Pushing his shoulders lightly, she pushed him onto his back, rolling on top of him. She smiled softly as she felt his fingers entwining with hers, the others holding her close.

"I'm won over." She whispered when they broke their kiss. Their eyes stared into each other's, un-breaking.

"I can't believe I'm doing this." He said quietly, to which she scowled.

"Stop saying that. I don't know what happened in the past, and honestly, I'm not sure if I want to. All I know is that I want this. I know you want this. If this is going to work, you need to stop living in the past and think of our future." She said, to which he smirked with a small chuckle.

"'Our future', eh?"

She blushed, looking away. "I don't know what lies in store for me. But I want to be with you. I know that much."
