Impossible Temptation (A Naruto Love Story) Chapter 15

Lucy’s P.O.V

I woke up a bit too warm and sniffed lightly, smelling the familiar scent of soap and pine that Sasuke has worn since he was nine years old. My head rested on his clothed chest while his arms cradled me close to his warm form.

“Are you awake, Lucy?”

I about jumped when his voice sounded sleepily.

“Y-Yes! I’m sorry for last night…” I apologized, not sure what else to do.

I acted like a complete child, but sincerely…the nightmares have never been continues like this. But it seems whenever I sleep with him…they just leave me alone.

~You better not get close, girly. Or I’ll rip him to shreds. ~ Her voice sounded from the back of my mind.

I frowned at her snide tone. Like she has a say in what I do…!

~You sure as hell remember without me you are nothing, but a weak outsider. Just a loser with no power over these mortals. How many times do I have to remind you that we are the stronger species?!~ She sneered.

I sat up and gripped my head in my fists until the roots of my hair shot with mild pain.

Stop! Please…I rather forget everything than be tortured like this… Lucille, please just go away!

She sat in the blank spaces of my consciousness and smirked coldly, bandages for clothing and bloody floor length hair scattered around her like a veil.

~You want to forget, Lucy? That is too damn bad…I will be here to remind you of everything they did to you. Enjoy this feeling of love for now…for later I will show you just how fast you will hate it! ~ She cursed, red eyes narrowed.

A touch on my bare shoulder had me trembling as her stare, mimicking my own had my body quivering in fear.

“Lucy! Please, talk to me! I hate seeing you scared like this…please tell me what’s wrong…”

I turned my head to see worry lines creasing the boy’s perfect forehead and felt what she said was true. I can’t lie to myself any longer; it’s there plain as day.

I’m in love with Sasuke Uchiha.

Turning around to face him, resting on my hind legs as he sat in front of me, searching my face for something; not sure what exactly, but I can’t hold this together anymore. He’s the only person I’ve ever been able to talk to, to laugh with and cry and just be myself!

He’s my best friend. He’s my crush. I just can’t sit in denial any longer. Not when I don’t even know how long I’m going to be around since I’m not human. What if I die tomorrow and he never knew how I felt?

The more I think about it the warmer my face got. And I think he’s starting to notice by the way his eyebrows are knitting together in blunt confusion.

“What is it Lucy? Are you feeling well?”

He felt my forehead causing me to blush even pinker. He cares about me…does he know how I feel? Does he feel anything but friendship?

Lucille may be right; what if I get shot down right here?

Just imagining the reaction causes my throat to close up…a deep sting resonates in my chest just imaging the rejection.

I can’t hold it in though; or she’ll take advantage of the weakness.

Taking a deep breath I looked up into his coal black eyes and licked my lips.

“S-Sasuke I need to tell you s-something… I..I-“

“Well isn’t this cute?”

Our heads whip around to see the great Kakashi sitting crouched in Sasuke’s bedroom window staring at us with one amused eye.

“You two missed training yesterday so I thought I’d drop by to tell you that we’re going to the Hidden Mist on a C Ranked Mission Naruto somehow ended us up with yesterday. Be ready in an hour and packed for an overnight stay.”  Then with that he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Sasuke sighed, muttering something about Naruto being a moron before standing up and stretching causing a weight to fall into the pit of my stomach…but I didn’t get to say what I needed to!

“W-Wait!”

Without thinking it through, I threw myself into his form causing us to tumble into the ground while he grunted in surprise. I ended up on my hand and knees hovering over him while he just looked up at me, obviously confused.

“What the hell, Lucy?! What were-“

I interrupted him squealing a bit.

“Please don’t interrupt me, Sasuke! I don’t think I’ll ever have the nerve to confess this so please let me!” I exclaimed, my face growing warmer with every word.

I can’t back out now…

He opened his mouth to say something then abruptly shut it again, gulped then nodded for me to go on.

 I sat up, straddling him and getting my thoughts together, not sure how to go about this. How do you confess something so embarrassing…?

~Just fucking say it or I’ll just kill him and save you the trouble!~ She growled causing me to gasp softly.

“Sasuke…you’ve been at my side for as long as I can remember…and last night you were the first thing I thought about through all the fear. I just don’t know how to go about this…” My voice wavered.

I glanced down to see the confusion from his expression disappeared to disbelief.

“I…I..I-!”

He suddenly sat up causing me to gasp now that I was sitting in his lap and his face was literally inches from mine. My heart leaped into my throat making it impossible to talk and looking up since it was all I could do; especially under his now intense stare.

He’s so close…I can feel his breath against my cheeks now a bit labored. His eyes shot from my lips to my eyes and back down to my lips and I understood what he was asking and bravely tipped my chin up a fraction.

Slowly he dipped his head down and leaned forward pressing his lips to mine as if testing the feeling. They were cool and soft and had my rib cage vibrating from my heart beating so hard.

I’m kissing Sasuke…wow.
