"Too Much Fan Fictions"

Sakura sighs and stopped typing, 'That's for chapter fourteen. I'll revise it later...'

The person beside her stirred, grumbling at her, "You're still awake?"

She turned her head on him, taking his appearance. One of his eyes is opened slightly as he feigns the drowsiness of his sleep, she chuckled at the sight, "I just finished this chapter, Sasuke-kun."

Sasuke sighs as he moved to snatch her phone from her, "You've been staying up too late for that stupid fan fiction."

"It's not that late! And it's not just a stupid fan fiction! People are waiting for it, Sasuke!" Sakura debated, her loud voice irking Sasuke more, all he ever wanted to be a nice sleep with his girlfriend between his arms but no, she had to do those damn fan fictions again. AGAIN.

"It's three in the morning Sakura. That's far too late." Sasuke said, looking to her phone for the time before placing it on the nightstand beside him. "Sleep."

The pink-haired girl pouted like a child muttering under her breath. Sasuke peered at her in annoyance, "What did you say?"

She managed to let out a small squeak as she didn't expect Sasuke to hear her words, she looked at him flabbergasted, "I said I just wanna read and write some romance..."

Sasuke smirked at her words which only confuses Sakura, surely her boyfriend doesn't want to read some slow-burn fan fictions, not even the one-shot fluff ones. So why did he let out a smirk, Sakura didn't know.

"Come here," Sasuke commanded. If they weren't living in under the same roof for a year and if they weren't in a relationship for 4 years. She would've to beat the hell out of him, but his authoritative and commanding voice doesn't affect her anymore, she's convinced that if you listened to it enough you would actually hear the softness around his words. Not that she would reveal that to anyone else. Sasuke simply is a subtle lover and she absolutely loves it.

So with Sasuke's word, she gently slid in the comforter, laying on her side facing Sasuke. He didn't say a word, he just stares at her like those times that he would when he thought no one else sees it, he stares at her with kind and gentle eyes that makes you realize that he got his eyes from his similarly kind and gentle mother, Mikoto. And it bore into her as if it is reading her soul, it isn't uncomfortable but it really is intense that she just had to look away and move away.

But before she even got to do all those things, Sasuke slid an arm around her waist and pull her closer to him until their forehead touch one another. If his stare was intense before now it's just captivating like she doesn't want to look away not that she can look away anyways.

Sakura instantly felt the heat creeping up her face, it doesn't help her that she can hear nothing but their slow breaths, her own heartbeat that's beginning to speed up and she swears that if it just is a little more silent, she will hear his heartbeat too.

'This is almost too much.' Sakura adverted her eyes to the side, Sasuke wasn't always like this, sure she caught him a lot of times looking at her with gentleness when he thought she doesn't pay much attention and sure they do a bit of a staring contest that ends up with him winning and her blushing furiously with her heart pumping fast but he never, never look at her like this when they were in bed.

Most nights were just her between his arms, sometimes she felt him kiss her forehead and temple, or breathing through her hair as if he is intaking her scent. But never this, so why now?

"Look at me," Sasuke speaks in a low tone, bedroom voice as they say. Sakura immediately looks at him and blushed furiously.

It amuses him at after 4 years, he still gives her the same effect that he always does even when they weren't together. He feels as if she can never fall for someone else him, that she is his as he is hers.

"Don't you like our romance better?" Sasuke smirked, teasing Sakura. "Don't I make your heart beat faster?"

"It's beating pretty fast now." Sakura gingerly said, clearly shy with her straightforward response which gained a chuckle from her boyfriend.

"Then stop staying up so late with your fictional stories. Sleep here with me."

With that, Sasuke closed their gap by planting a sweet, innocent and gentle kiss on her lips, sending shivers down to her spine and happiness in his heart. Parting from the kiss, he looked at her eyes again before tucking her under his chin, "Let's sleep."

Sakura giggled in his actions, sometimes, Sasuke still surprises her with his sweetness and gentleness but she absolutely loves every single moment of it, "Good night."

The raven-haired grunted in response, "Hn." Letting a smile out when he heard Sakura murmured something before drifting off to sleep.

"I love you, Sasuke-kun."

'I love you too, Sakura.'
