Touch Starved- Sasuke X Reader

You winced as you settled into the tub, trying to adjust to the nearly scalding temperature of the water. It didn't take long, seeing as you were used to taking extremely hot baths.

However, the amount of times you had done this in the past months had decreased, thanks to Sasuke.

But he had been on a mission for quite some time, leaving you to fall back into your habit, desperate for the all encompassing warmth that made you feel a little less lonely.

Somehow, it wasn't as satisfying as usual, probably due to the fact that you'd been experiencing the real thing for quite some time.

Your eyes drifted shut as you waited for Sasuke to return, knowing that he should arrive within the hour or so.

It wasn't long before a stern voice jolted you out of your half asleep state. "What the hell, (Y/N)? Why is your bath so hot? It's one step away from boiling!"

You blinked, slightly confused. Your vision focused and narrowed in on Sasuke, who was frowning. "W-what?" You rubbed yourself eyes, sitting up slightly.

The ravenette rolled his eyes at the 'intelligent' response. "Why is the water so hot?" You shrugged, slightly embarrassed at having been caught red handed.

"It's comforting sometimes..." He scoffed, turning towards the door. "Get washed up and I'll show you real comfort."

"This is a lot better, Sasuke," You admitted, laughing. "Of course it is, (Y/N)..." You tuned out the rest of his spiel about hot water being no match for him, instead sinking further into his embrace.

You were in between his long legs, your back pressed against his chest. His arms crossed in front of you waist, keeping you pressed against his body, as if you'd want to be anywhere else at the moment, and it was impossible not to feel at peace.

"Just come to me next time instead of burning yourself," Sasuke muttered, his grip tightening.

You pushed away the urge to protest his statement, instead humming in agreement and intertwining your fingers with this.

Nothing could be a good substitute for feelings like these.
