Sasuke doesn’t like being kissed, thinks it makes him too vulnerable. However for you he might make an exception.
You guys were on a walk in the forest, looking for nothing in particular but just to spend some quiet time together. Sasuke was beside you, letting you hold onto his hand; rare moment but you savor every minute of it nonetheless.
The silence was comfortable and not oppressive, this was how you spent most of your time together. Sasuke preferred quietness over small talk, always has but if you spoke to him he’d talk back.
“It’s so beautiful isn’t it?” You said, glancing over at his neutral expression.
He gave a small nod before deciding to add on his own thoughts. “It’s very peaceful.”
“I know right?” You smiled directly at him, looking down at your interlocked hands
Sasuke said nothing in return and just nodded, it was a bit rough but you knew he loved you anyway. You knew this was how it’d be when you got together. You two find a patch of grass under a blossoming tree and sit down; leaning against it.
You glanced over at him but said nothing. He looks back at you and said, “you got something to say?” His comment caught you off guard but you reeling yourself in and composed yourself.
“Not necessarily.” You give an awkward smile. God you were a terrible liar.
“Say it, be honest with me. Lying does no good.” He looked at you, he always saw right through you no matter how much you tried to hide it.
You sigh and say; “Sometimes it feels like you don’t care, I know you do but….its just hard sometimes.”
Sasuke seems to think about your words for a minute, and looked back at you. “I am sorry, that’s not how I meant to make you feel.”
“I know-“ he cut you off. “I love you.”
You felt like you were going to puke, not in a bad way but in a oh my God he actually said it sort of way. He must’ve noticed your hesitation and got all embarrassed suddenly.
Before he could say anything you pressed your lips against his, his hands gripped your shoulders as you kissed him. He seemed surprised but didn’t pull away, in fact he leaned into it. A lot. He wouldn’t be caught dead doing something like this in public, but he loves you.
He pulled away and looked down at you, “I’m sorry if I made you feel bad.” He said quietly before pressing his lips up against yours again. He’s usually not like this but it matters to him how you feel. Your feelings and opinion are the only ones that matter.
This time you pulled away and wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him close to you. He tenses momentarily before relaxing into the feeling. “Thank you for being patient with me…” he said, so quiet you could barely hear it
You pull away with an inquisitive expression, he remained silent after that. You could tell he meant every word of what he said.
