Naruto's POV

The big companies are in a war right now regarding the rumours around Yahiko. The most shocking news was about a protestor dying at the spot murdered by someone that nobody found any trace about. That blame also went to Yahiko.

I sigh. People would come off as someone nice but under the masks there could be a monster. But I refuse to assume such things about a man I went for a drink with. The case wasn't even proved and he could be innocent. Powerful people always have enemies behind them who are always looking for chances to destroy them.

"What are you watching?" Sai asks me as he takes a seat beside me while chugging some water down to his throat. I mumble,"The recent news about Yahiko." Sai slaps my phone away and he looks offended.

He says,"Don't tell me you believe these bullshits." I stare at him with my already furrowed eyebrow. I speak,"When did I tell you that I'm believing it?" Sai says,"You just have that look on your face."

I tell him,"Then what do you expect from people? A protestor died regarding the matter of Yahiko. Obviously that'd make Yahiko look more suspicious to the country. I heard they even filed a case against him."

Sai looks at me like I said something unbelievable. He says,"This is like a daily occurrence to him. Scandals like these happened before as well and he always came clean. Don't you feel grateful of his kindness? I'm rather disappointed."

I feel annoyed now. Who is he to be disappointed at me? After that conversation with the older Uchiha I'm not in my best mood and yet Sai is showing his audacity to be like a asshole to me.

Whether he's my captain or not other of being my captain I won't let him yell at me like this. I'm tired of being stepped over by everyone.

I tell him,"I don't care about matter like these. I would appreciate if you don't talk to me except for the matter of the game." Sai flinches. He didn't expect such harsh from my mouth. Sai says looking a bit worried now,"Look, I know I went overboard..."

I cut him off right there and tell him,"I'm sorry Sai but I'm not in my best mood. Excuse me." Saying that I get off of the bleachers and come back jogging to the ground joining others.

I didn't even make any effort to cook something and ended up ordering for both of us from a restaurant. Sasuke is supposed to return early as he already informed me about it. After realising about my feelings from him, I know I'll have hard time hiding it from him.

I would date every girl who came onto me telling me they like me. I thought turning them down would make them feel sad. I dated a number of girls back then but I can tell I never loved any of them. Fooling around would just help me to cop up with my loneliness. This feeling is completely new to me.

Sound of the footsteps made me come back to the reality breaking my thoughts off. Sasuke straight went to his room not even sparing me a glance. I'm sitting on a chair my chin resting on the table.

After some minutes Sasuke comes back and a nice smell is coming from his body. Seems like he got back from shower. He mutters,"You cooked?" I didn't answer him. He says again,"But I ate outside a bit."

I get up from my chair and tell him,"Then I'll put them into the fridger if you don't have appetite to eat." I was about to take the dishes away but Sasuke grabs my hands. He says,"Why? Aren't you hungry?"

I tell him,"No." Sasuke frowns. Seems like he's trying to figure out something. Why am I even acting petty like this like I'm his wife who is upset with him over something.

I don't have that luxury to act like this with Sasuke Uchiha. I have a few days left with him and I have to make the best use of the remaining days but still I can't help but be like this. For today, I'll act distant. I need this distance.

Sasuke still asks like he actually cares,"Did something happened with you?" Looking at his face with a slight mark of worry in it made me glad. But hiding Itachi's Uchiha's offered deal can backfire someday. So I decided to inform him about his brother.

"Your brother gave a visit yesterday." I speak. His eyebrows are furrowed now. He says,"But he knew I had a meeting yesterday. Why would he come back here?" I tell him,"He told me that you are marrying your fiance soon."

Sasuke flinches. I tell him,"He offered me to go against our current deal, to break it off." I told him every detail of our conversation. Sasuke was seemingly attentive to my words as he kept sitting there patiently.

I briefed him with everything, with my answer. Except for my recently discovered feelings for him. This is something he won't ever know, this embarrassing feelings building inside of me for him.

Sasuke says,"You know you can't break this contract, right?" I nod agreeing to the situation. He makes me sit on his lap as he keeps staring into my eyes. His cold touch feels so nice after so long.

Sasuke says,"This marriage is because of a deal my brother made. If I marry into the Yamanaka family..." I cut him off putting my finger against his lips making him shut up. He's staring at me wondering about my thoughts.

I tell him,"This isn't something I should be worrying about. No matter what happens, you can use for the remaining 1 year we have left. I don't care about your soon to be wife."

Sasuke's facial expression still doesn't change. Why does he have that look on his face? Like he's worried about something? I am the one who should be worried.

Sasuke cups my face and closes the gap as he kisses my lips. Both of our hearts are thumping loudly. I feel hot in his touch. Sasuke's hand caressing cheeks as he keeps kissing me until we both loose our breath.

I yearn for his affection and I was always aware of that. I thought of it as a attachment I felt with him because he's the one who used to made me feel a bit livelier getting me out of my loneliness.

I thought I was fond of him. But deep down my feelings for him was just growing and growing. And I now it's piling up that I want to shower him with my feelings. I have to restrain myself because I can't be greedy or I'll be ended up loosing this little time I have with him.

After kissing me Sasuke breaths hard. Then he looks at me again. Don't look at me like that. This is confusing me. The sudden change of his nature, his gentle behaviour toward me making me more confused and hopeful.

He's just being considerate being my partner that I keep reminding myself. Sasuke Uchiha has a beautiful fiance waiting for him and here I'm nothing but a pathetic home wrecker. I curse at myself. "Naruto you are a scum." that is what my conscience is constantly telling me.

His warm hands around my face making me looking at him sending butterflies to my stomach. He says,"Naruto, you know this marriage is nothing but a business deal, right?" Why are you even trying to explain yourself to me.

I'm staring at him like trying to find out his motive. He says,"Even if I marry her, our relationship won't change. I want to keep this contract. I'm still not satisfied enough with you."

Only if you knew that I'm tied to you. I tell him,"Yes, let's not break this contract. I need you Mr. Uchiha." This is so painful. This is not something I can even imagine, about the cold Sasuke Uchiha going soft.

He says,"Ino is just a subject of a business deal. You don't have to worry about her. She won't even come after you to sue you." I ask him chuckling,"Am I not a subject of a deal as well?" Sasuke pushes his forehead to mine and says keeping me still,"I don't know. You are just...mine."
