You, Always {Uchiha Sasuke}

Falling Deeply

        "Better?" Sasuke released the now dried eyed brunette who is constantly rubbing her cheeks with the back of her arm. Her pinks eyes closed when she felt her nose finally stopped running, at last.

        After several minutes of gushing her eyes out against his chest, at a private corner of the fair, the void in her chest was starting to patch up again. No more sadness, no more anxiety, it was just empty.

        Ayu nodded and formed a smile over her lips.

        "Thank you, Sasuke," but once she peered down at his shirt, all wet and snotty from her crying, a harsh chuckle seeped from her. "I-I'll wash that for you."

        Sasuke groaned while tugging at it and making an irked face. He revealed an extra clean shirt he was wearing underneath after unbuttoning his top off. Then he sighed.

        "As long as you're better, it wasn't for nothing." His back turned to her as he folded his shirt up in his hands. "Let's go home. Seeing that guy pissed me off now."

        Ayu knew he was referring to her ex boyfriend, knowing that it left the two a distasteful feeling by the end of day when they're starting to get tired. She never thought it would take an affect on him too. Instead of pushing the subject, she allowed herself to stay quiet and followed him out of the fair into his sports car in the parking lot.

        The ride was silent and Ayu couldn't help but to revert back to the moment she met eyes with Satoshi. It was eventful to say the least, but none of them expected to see him especially with Amaya. But by that mishap, it assured her that there was nothing left between them.

        Just that thought alone depressed her while riding in the car with Sasuke.

        Momentarily, they were parked on Ayu's driveway. Sasuke obliged to walk the girl to her front porch to end the bipolar night with a peaceful goodbye.

        Before she dug through her purse to obtain her keys, Ayu gave him a warm smile. "Thank you again, Sasuke. I had fun."

        He still leered her a mistrustful look and inspected with his cold eyes. He heaved a breath. "You sure you're going to be alright?"

        After everything that happened today, is it really okay for her to be alone?

        The face she made said otherwise as Ayu nodded, "I promise you."

        He witnessed another of her infamous smiles before heading to her front door. An urge pulsated through his veins as Sasuke watched her reaching for the knob until he did the most courageous thing.

        He grabbed her hand.

        "Ayu," he bit his lips nervously as his mind was in a big clutter fuck. At this moment, his conscious was taking over and unknowingly speaking.

        He gulped, "I want to make something clear."

        She held a baffled expression, which it doesn't quite tell him if it was a good sign or not. Now he seemed like he was having a hard time to find the correct words to say while she waited for him to continue.

        But Sasuke's stare hardened and his jaw clenched when an obvious blush found its way to the apples of his cheeks.

        "I'm falling for you."

        She froze by his declaration, obviously speechless yet overwrought to this new proclaiming emotion overwhelming her. The words didn't make it to her head on time, all but a puzzled expression that she made. She could that he was at his weakest point.

        She couldn't believe what was happening.

        "Sasuke..."

        He knew, the instant he heard her tone, what she was going to inform him, but he wasn't surprised by it all. He added a small smile on his lips and slammed his hand over Ayu's head in a forgivable manner.

        "I know," he said immediately. "I don't need an answer right now, so... I'll wait. You're not like Satoshi who can move on so easily. You need more than just two months to cope."

        Ayu remained silent as the guilt kept eating inside her. All at once, she felt what he felt - his pain all this time.

        Will he simply wait for her answer, no matter how long it takes?

        She frowned at his devastating explanation, and then quivered slightly. "You're... so nice, Sasuke. I don't think I deserve it - at all."

        His onyx eyes shown disapproval, spiting her in a sense of idiocy. She felt his hand lowered as his fingertips brush against her forehead and gently push pass her bangs admiringly.

        "I don't care."

        Then she was struck by his touch, feeling her face growing hot and numb and then gawking at him in wonder. But she didn't realize the gap between them lessened, noticing that Sasuke's eye level was matching with hers.

        He slowly inched forward. His hand dropped down from her cheek to the side of her heated neck, placing his thumb over the dent of her chin. He brought Ayu's face closer until she can feel his hot breath hovering at the bridge of her nose, directing his eyes intensely.

        Sasuke was just surprised to see that she was unable to do anything, just standing there and letting him do whatever he wants. He wasn't sure if this is what she wants. If not, then she would do something to stop him, wouldn't she?

        That question was already too late when Sasuke's nose brushed the surface of her cheek. His lips were only a few centimeters from hers, breathing heavily.

        Ayu felt like he was waiting, more like holding himself back. But henceforth, her mind drew blank, causing her to be the one to close the gap. So then, they kissed.

        I love you...

        It was only a minute until Sasuke moved his lips with hers at a slow pace. His kiss was quite different from Satoshi's - the way it was making her feel hot and needy, although a little tense and teasing at the same time.

        I love you, Ayu. Please...

        He thought the day wouldn't come so soon, but it did. He've always imagined this moment, and now it came true. The best part was Ayu is kissing back.

        Sasuke pulled, leaving her breathless and wanting more that Ayu almost fell forward. He was being hasty and leaned in again, going for another kiss by holding her face desperately. But he unfortunately stopped himself by laying his forehead on top of hers, giving a pant - mesmerized and lost into her lusty eyes.

        He traced her lips with the pad of his thumb and then straightening himself cautiously. His hand covered his now reddened face that equally matched hers.

        "Go inside," he commanded coarsely, making her raise her brows questionably, "before I can't control myself."

        Sasuke was trying to keep his distance like she was some wild animal- an innocent one, perhaps. But Ayu obeyed his order and unlocked her front door to let herself in. Once the door was shut, all thoughts rushed to him as he placed his face in his hands contently.

        Behind closed doors, Ayu leaned against her door with an utter sigh, recapping the previous moment she had with Sasuke. Her wrist rested over her mouth by the tingling sensation from kissing the noble Uchiha for the first time. She couldn't stop the blood rushing to her face as well as her heart beating frantically from her chest.

        Sasuke, you... she thought hopelessly, still holding her chest where her heart is. ...you're making go against the rules.

        She knew that she was falling for him, also.
