Chapter 22: Urge

When Sasuke heard the door shut close, indicating that Jugo had finally left, he let out a sigh as he pinched the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes tightly and counted to ten as he calmed himself down. He doesn't even know if he's going crazy these days and he felt more annoyed not knowing why.

He strided towards the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, taking out a pitcher of ice cold water as he poured himself a glass. He has to relax his nerves and his mind, the cold water would help him do so as he downed the liquid passing through his throat that he didn't know had become scorch. After that, he decided to walk back to the living room.

Sakura has passed out on the couch, her dress had slid up her thighs and Sasuke fought the urge not to let his eyes linger on her exposed skin too long as he strides towards Sakura and gently picked her up.

Sakura's mind was hazy but it gradually cleared as she smelled a very strong scent of mint and wine, the smell making her sigh as she scooted closer, not knowing that she practically buried her nose on the crook of Sasuke's neck making Sasuke almost losing his hold on her as he tried his hardest to stay compose. But it seems Sasuke will give in any moment as Sakura scooted closer.

"Hmmm Sasuke-kun..." Sakura hummed and whisper as she inhaled the intoxicating smell.

Sasuke had to bite his tongue when he felt her cold lips on his neck. He tasted the familiar metallic taste of blood in his mouth as Sasuke put Sakura down on the bed, a bit too harshly as the bed bounced.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Sasuke hissed as he hovered above Sakura but his annoyance quickly vanished when he looked down.

There she was, with her eyes half-lidded, cheeks painted in crimson red as she looked so very innocent.

"Dammit," Sasuke muttered as he closed his eyes tightly again but this time, Sakura making that face appeared in his mind and Sasuke couldn't help the strings of curses that left his mouth.

Sakura's mind was too cloudy, her thoughts floating everywhere and she has forgotten an ounce of awkwardness as she put her arms around Sasuke's neck pulling him closer, that on any other normal occasion never have happened.

Sasuke let her pull him forward but he propped his arms on her side, holding him up.

"Sasuke-kun..." Sakura slurred as her eyes are still half-lidded and Sasuke questioned himself if she's awake or asleep.

"Sasuke-kun... I will...stay by your side..."

Sakura whispered her words, almost indistinct yet Sasuke heard it clear.

Sakura was silent for a second that Sasuke thought she had already fallen asleep. But her hold on him says otherwise.

"I will stay..." she continued in a low voice. "Because... I'm the only one left... who can show you... how it feels... to be love."

Sasuke had to stop for a moment to comprehend what Sakura just said. He knew he heard the same statement in the past but before Sasuke could realize it, Sakura did the most unexpected thing she could have ever done in her entire life.

Sakura leaned in and kiss Sasuke, not on the cheeks or on the forehead, but on the lips.

It took Sasuke a second to register what Sakura was doing.
