Sold for Lust(SASUSAKU)

Could We...

 *SASUKE*

        I had called Sakura from the garden just to get to know her a bit more. After enduring the horror that is Itachi, maybe should could at least use someone to talk to. The only things I knew about her were that she was taken from her father but our guards and that my sadistic brother tortured her since then.

       "You asked to see me Sasuke?" Sakura stood in the doorway as I motioned her to come in. I I could tell she was worried that she may be in trouble. Far from it though. "Please, have a seat. I just want to sit and talk with you. I know nothing about you and I would like to." Though probably confused, Sakura's worry face became much calmer.

     "Well, I just turned eighteen and my birthday is March 28th. I don't remember much about mother since she passed when I was only a baby. However, my father has done an excellent job with raising me. Of course as you remember, my only friend is Taiki. Father has always been a bit overprotective of me. I love to pick wild flowers. Spring is my favorite season, as all of life returns and makes everything beautiful. I'm a pretty good cook, guess that's something I inherited from my mother. Pink as you can see is one of my favorite colors but I also do prefer shades of red at times. I also like to look up at the night sky and watch the stars dance."  Sakura had concluded and and I was completely amazed. She was indeed very interesting.  I also had felt guilt that we had taken her but I couldn't change my father's mind about letting her go back to her father permanently. I do enjoy being in Sakura's presence, she makes the air around her feel so free and easy. Wish I could know how that felt. As a prince I'm force to abide by rules and obligations. I do sneak out at times but even that becomes boring. "Say Sakura? How would you feel if that instead of being my maid and me in charge of you, we can simply be friends or acquaintances? I know it might seem weird but I don't want you to ever feel like you can't depend on me. Even if you don't trust me know, I can assure you that I will do what ever I can to gain it. How does that sound to you?"It was taking her a few minutes to process everything I had just stated but I was very honest about it.  I really felt that we can actually be pretty good friends, but even in my heart I could tell something was stirring inside me. Telling me that I wanted more than friendship. Hopefully time will tell if it's possible.

  *SAKURA*

          I had agreed to become friends with Sasuke. He was right about it being a bit weird. I figure that it would be a good change of pace. My life may have been simple but it was indeed sheltered. Sasuke said he would do everything he could to gain my trust. I can admit that he had gained some of it by getting me away from his hellish brother. That was a start in the right direction, but still a bit ways to go before I can completely trust him. "Seeing that I agreed to a friendship with you. How about I get to know you too." Sasuke had pulled up his chair and allowed me to sit upon his bed.

      "Where to begin? Well of course I'm the second prince to the kingdom. Currently seventeen years of age, my birthday will be this coming summer July 23. My favorite color are different shades of dark blue. I absolutely love tomatoes. I'm highly skilled at hand to hand combat as well as archery. I think my brother is the devil(lol). I feel as though my life here is very dull due to all the rules I'm forced to abide by. I own a horse, I call him Nightshade due to the color of his coat and mane. I hope one day to be king. Only my mother knew that I'm a talented artist, you also now know. I'm currently engaged to a princess who personally to me is the biggest whore in all the kingdoms. Father says I shouldn't talk about her like since she could possibly produce heirs. I prefer someone who I already know and love. I know I may come across cold and uncaring, but there's more to me than I let anyone know about." After hearing Sasuke tell me about himself, I honestly felt pretty sad. I thought life those of royal blood was pretty simple. I was completely wrong. Looks like Sasuke and I were a bit more alike than I thought.

        Sasuke decided to have his lunch brought to his room and even asked if something be prepared for me. We were enjoying ourselves even if it was pretty quite. Our silence was broken when Sasuke had asked if I would join him on an outing around the kingdom to help with some of his royal duties. Of course I agreed with much excitement. I've never been around the kingdom since father never let me leave the safety of the forest.

  Lunch had finished and we made our way to the stable. "Sakura, this is Nightshade." Sasuke introduced me to his steed and as he had stated. His coat and mane were as black as the night sky. Saskue helped up me before mounting himself and we took off outside of the castle gates. The feeling of the wind in my long pink hair was the most thrilling excitement I've ever felt. I could also feel Sasuke's warmth behind me. It was almost like feeling the sun a spring or summer day. I also felt protected by it. Maybe this friendship could actually work out. The feeling in my stomach was telling me otherwise.

     Could we actually one day be more than just friends or is this just me with wishful thinking?
