In the Ceaseless Snow

🌸Chapter 12🌸

Hey guys! Just a few reminders! This is QueenOfFistss here! I changed my username to bakurokii! Also, this is a W A R N I N G! If you don't like anything related to lemons, yes you heard me right, lemons, as in the big three letter word. SEX. You can read the beginning part if you want, but I will also put a warning right before the lemon happens. You have been warned!

    Sasuke honked on his horn. He'd been waiting for Sakura for a little over five minutes. They were going on a "kind-of date", as Sasuke liked to call it. The ravenette groaned as he leaned back in his seat, he pressed on his horn once more. Sakura then came rushing out of her house, quickly locking the door behind her. The pinkette jogged to the car door, but when she tried to open it, Sasuke locked it. Sasuke had a smirk plastered on his face as Sakura's smile fell. Her frown then turned into a sneer with a glare. "Sasuke Uchiha! Open this door!" She yelled as she stomped her foot.

    "Fine." He groaned and unlocked the doors but when Sakura went back to open it, he locked it again. She growled under her breath. "But first," He continued. "You have to apologize for making me wait."

"What?" Sakura said with grit teeth.

"You heard me." The same smirk never once leaving his face.

"I'm sorry for making you wait, Mr. Uchiha. Now can I enter the car now?" She asked. Sasuke chuckled as he unlocked the doors once more, the pinkette open it and sat down. Once she closed the door, she looked at Sasuke and smacked him on his upper arm. "What a way to be a jerk." She crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks.

Sasuke chuckled lightly. Sasuke maneuvered the car as he pulled out of the driveway, the pinkette quickly put her seatbelt on. The ride over to the restaurant was quiet but it wasn't an awkward kind of quiet. More of a comfortable quiet. A content smile spread across Sakura's face as she stared out the window. Sakura wasn't paying attention and Sasuke slipped his hand between hers and they laced their fingers together.

They arrived at their destination. Sasuke parked the car and got out, jogging around his car to open Sakura's door. "I was not expecting that." Sakura smiled as Sasuke reached out his hand, which Sakura took gingerly. "Thank you." A light pink blush crept its way up to Sakura's ears. Sasuke led them inside the restaurant and they were quickly seated. "Wow..." Sakura mumbled out. "It looks like a castle in here." Her eyes were wide as she looked at her surroundings.

Sasuke chuckled. "My parents took the liberty of getting us these reservations, so it's them you should be thanking." Sasuke smiled as he watched Sakura. He thought it was extremely adorable the way she was acting.

"I will definitely thank them the next time I see them." Her smile lit up the whole room.

Their waitress soon walked over to their table, notepad and pen in hand. "What can I get started for you two tonight?"

Sakura was about to speak but Sasuke beat her to it. "We'll both have raspberry teas and tempura*." Sakura smiled as Sasuke ordered for them. Little did he know that she loved tempura, it was one of her favorite foods.

*Tempura- a Japanese dish of fish, shellfish, or vegetables, fried in batter.

"Alright." Replied the waitress. "I'll get those menus out of the way for you." She had a kind smile on her face. Sasuke grabbed their menus and handed them to the waitress. She bid her goodbye and left.

"Do you come to restaurants like this often?" Sakura asked out of the blue. Sasuke was slightly taken off guard by the question.

The ravenette folded his napkin across his lap gingerly. "I usually do with my parents." He smiled lightly. "I used to come with Itachi almost every week-" He paused as he dropped his eyes to look at his lap instead of at Sakura. "That is, before he got diagnosed." Sasuke had a frown creeping up his face.
