Title: Mistletoe Kiss Pairing: SasuSaku A/N: Forgive me, I cannot seem to write a Sasuke-kun that’s not OOC. -

“Sasuke-kun!”

Sasuke turned his head toward his pretty pink-haired team mate who’s approaching him.

“How come you’re not on top of the Christmas tree? I thought that’s where angels belonged,” Sakura said and then gave him a wink.

Sasuke felt his face grow hot and scowled at Sakura in reply as he heard Naruto and Ino, who were sitting beside him, snicker at him.

Naruto held a Christmas party in his apartment and because Sasuke is staying with him for a while, he has no choice but to get off his brooding ass and join the party.

“Pardon me,” Sakura continued when she finally reached where they all sat and pointed at Sasuke’s lap, “But is this seat taken?” she asked then smirked at him. Naruto and Ino only guffawed when Sasuke all but spewed out his drink and stood up, not quite knowing what to do.

“I’m just gonna,” Sasuke started but trailed off uncomfortably when he felt Sakura intensely looking at him and decided to just gesture the way to the kitchen and removed himself from the group.

“Sakura-chan, when will you stop bullying the poor bastard?” Naruto asked, shaking his head at her and trying to hold back his grin.

“When it stops being fun,” she answered jokingly and took Sasuke’s seat.

Sakura watched Sasuke head to the kitchen with amusement as she continued to drink her beer.

Sasuke-kun, she muses, is really fun to tease. His neck and ears go all red and he gets all awkward and panicky. He’s usually cool and composed but whenever she’s around, he transforms into this stuttering mess and she decided to take advantage of it.

Sasuke just came back from his two-year sojourn around villages outside Konoha two weeks ago and Sakura has picked up the habit of flirting with him every now and then.

It all started when she and Naruto welcomed Sasuke at the village gates and because she didn’t know how to act around him, she just told him a pick up line out of nowhere to ease the tension between them.

“So how are you, Sasuke-kun?” she asked when he turned to acknowledge her presence after a quick banter with Naruto.

Sasuke looked at her for a few seconds and turned away immediately, his ears turning red, “I’m fine,” he mumbled.

Sakura, still stupefied that he’s here, right in front of her, answered him absentmindedly, “Hey, I didn’t ask how you looked!”

There was a moment of silence among the three of them before Sakura realized what she said and she would have been embarrassed if she did not saw the blush creeping into Sasuke-kun’s face.

And so the Bullying-Sasuke-kun-Everytime-She-Had-A-Chance project begins. “You must be tired, Sasuke-kun,” she continued, a mischievous smirk forming on her lips.

Sasuke looked at her suspiciously and was about to reply when she cut him off. “Because you’re running through my mind all night,” Sakura finished.

Sasuke all but sputtered, trying to form a dignified response and Naruto just gagged at his two best friends.

“It’s a good thing you went to see me and get a check up,” Sakura blabbered to him one day when he visited her at the hospital, when really, it was just an excuse so he could spend time with her.

“Cause I think you’re lacking some Vitamin Me,” she continued and then gave him a cheeky grin.

“I think I’m gonna need a second opinion,” Sasuke deadpanned.

Most of the time, she didn’t even have to tell him some lame pick up line. She just had to intentionally brush their fingers when she hands him a scroll from Kakashi, or she just had to sit beside him closely and stare at him intently or just randomly wink at him when they spar, then bam! Sasuke goes from being a tall scary dude to a blushing and embarrassed teenage girl.

But sometimes, Sasuke-kun can be super dumb.

“If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put ‘U’ and 'I’ together,” Sakura told him one time at Ichiraku’s while they waited for Naruto.

Sasuke frowned and scrunched his forehead, “Why would you do that? It’s hard enough to guess which letter comes next without having to sing the alphabet all over from the start every damn time and now you want to make it even more complicated.”

Sakura just stared at him for a long time and laughed at him, “Sasuke-kun, you are an idiot.”

“Me? Idiot? I’m not the one who wants to jumble alphabet letters and complicate everyone’s lives around here.”

Sasuke was standing by the kitchen counter and trying to open a beer bottle when he felt someone enter the kitchen. He turned around and saw Sakura by the doorway, looking all pretty with that stupid bright smile of hers, that stupid pastel pink hair, that stupid clear green eyes, and that stupid cute red dress she’s wearing paired with a stupid cute boots.

He chastised himself for losing his cool around her earlier for what seemed to be the nth time whenever she flirts with him. She knows just how much she affects him and she’s enjoying it.

Sasuke just nodded at her and took a swig from his beer, trying to keep it cool and get his shit together around the girl he wants to spend the rest of his life with likes.

He just continued awkwardly standing there and took a peek at Sakura out of the corner of his eye. He gulped when he heard her approach him slowly, looking as if she was planning something terrible.

“I just came to check on you, Sasuke-kun. You’ve been gone for quite a while,” She said as she neared him.

His heart started pounding when she stood just a feet away from him, looking so beautiful with that smile.

“Sasuke-kun,” she whispered.

Sasuke looked around to find that he and Sakura were alone in the kitchen, the sounds of Naruto and Kiba’s ruckus muffled outside.

“There’s just you and me here, Sasuke-kun,” Sakura said and closed the distance between them.

There were only the two of them in the kitchen and he doesn’t know if he should feel scared or excited or both.

Sasuke cleared his throat and nervously backed away from Sakura.

Ever since his return home, he and Sakura never really got the chance to be alone together because she was always busy with the hospital while Naruto always pestered him. He doesn’t really know what to do when he’s around her because there’s always this thick air of tension between them.

Yes, they have this unspoken promise of a future together before he left her two years ago but how can it happen if he keeps transforming into a pile of ridiculous mess whenever she’s near him?

Sakura stepped forward while giving him a smouldering look that makes him want to pull his hair out of his head. Sasuke looked away and took a step back at the same time that Sakura stepped forward once more.

He was about to take another step behind when his back hit the kitchen counter and Sakura smirked evilly as she started to lean into him, putting her arms on his either side, effectively trapping him.

He could use his powers and disappear anytime or he could just push Sakura away but his body seemed immobile as he was locked into her stare. This woman is dangerous, he thinks.

Sakura looked up and forced out a laugh as she returned her gaze back to him, “Oh wow. How did that mistletoe get here?”

Sasuke looked up and gulped once more when he saw that hanging above them was indeed a mistletoe.

“Y-yes,” he replied lamely. He didn’t even know what it was that she said.

“There’s something I want more than anything right now, Sasuke-kun,” Sakura said, her gaze turning from his eyes to his lips.

Sasuke could feel his heart hammering loudly in his chest he was afraid that she might actually hear it. Be a man, Sasuke, goddamnit.

“What?” he asked nervously, his gaze at her lips.

“Well, it’s the holidays. And it’s just the two of us here, Sasuke-kun,” she replied. “Yeah?” Sasuke asked, his mouth suddenly dry.

“Uchiha Sasuke,” Sakura stood on her tippy toes and whispered to his ear that made him shiver, “I want something hot, something to keep me warm tonight.”

Sasuke’s eyes widened a little, his pants suddenly tightening. They haven’t even gone out on a date yet!

“Sakura, are you sure that this is what you want?” Sasuke choked out, his heart still beating fast in anxiety and anticipation.

“Sasuke-kun, this all I’ve been thinking about ever since I got here,” she said and then smiled seductively at him. “Don’t you want it, too?”

Sasuke can’t place it but there’s something sinister hidden in her smile. “Here?” Sasuke asked, still looking unsure.

Sakura leaned on him further, her hands reaching for something behind him.

“Of course. Where else?” she asked, her voice husky.

Their faces are only an inch apart and he could feel her breath fanning his cheek. Her lips brushed the shell of his ear that almost made him whimper if not for the years of practiced self restraint. Their eyes are locked into each other as she leaned closer to him. He could feel his heart beating wildly in his chest. He was sure that their lips would meet when suddenly-

Click.

“Do you want marshmallows in your hot cocoa too, Sasuke-kun?”

“What.”

Sasuke blinked and saw that Sakura stepped away from him, grinning widely. He then turned around and saw the electric kettle behind him turned on. It must have been the thing she was reaching for while leaning into him earlier.

He frowned and looked back at Sakura again, who was now wearing an innocent look.

Sakura moved around him and picked up two mugs from the dish rack and set them back down at the counter. She stood beside Sasuke, looking as if she’s trying not to laugh, “What is it, Sasuke-kun? You look like a puppy who’s been denied a treat.”

Sasuke grinded his teeth when he finally got back to his senses and realized that she’s making fun of him again!

“Well if you want, we could continue whatever it is you’re thinking of earlier, Sasuke-kun,” Sakura continued and winked at him.

Sasuke could feel the blood rushing to his face and only glared at Sakura in response.

This time, Sakura could not hold it anymore and laughed out loud, “Hahahaha! Forgive me, Sasuke-kun! You’re just so cute when you get all flustered!”

“Oh really?” Sasuke asked through gritted teeth while he mustered his fiercest death glare.

Sakura seemed unaffected by what is obviously his burgeoning wrath and only laughed harder and pointed at him continuously. This woman is just not afraid of him.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! You looked like a lost puppy earlier!” She kept saying while still laughing.

Sasuke just stood there, his anger at this pretty pink haired teammate who drives him crazy is starting to dissipate as she continued to grace the room with the sound of her laugh. He could feel the side of his lips involuntary lifting up as he gazed at her. Suddenly it doesn’t matter that she was laughing at his expense and she kept bruising his ego. The fact that she was laughing uncontrollably, the fact that there was clear joy in her green eyes, and the fact that he was the reason for it makes his heart swell with pride.

And he doesn’t know if it’s the swig of beer he just drank, or if it’s because it’s just the two of them here and no one’s around or if it’s because he’s so pathetically smitten with her, but he decided to do the craziest thing.

“Sakura.”

Sakura finally stopped laughing and looked at him, smiling widely and the sides of her eyes crinkling, “Yes, Sasu-”

She was cut off when Sasuke pulled her close and descended his face down to hers when she bumped into his chest. Their lips met for a few seconds before Sasuke finally pulled away while he could still stop himself.

Sakura’s eyes widened and immediately stepped back, “What? I’m, what? What just happened?”

All of the embarrassment Sasuke felt after the kiss suddenly vanished when he saw her stuttering and blushing and panicking in front of him. She was looking at him disbelievingly and opened and closed her mouth multiple times.

He finally gets why Sakura teases him often. It is indeed fun.

Sasuke smirked and leaned into her, “We’re under the mistletoe, remember?” he said huskily. He felt her shiver before he stepped back from her, making him proud of himself.

He then headed out of the kitchen, taking one last look at her, still blushing and shell shocked at what had just transpired.

Who’s flustered now, eh?

“Oi, Forehead, open up!”

Ino huffed before pounding her fist against Sakura’s apartment door.

“Come on, Sakura, wake up!”

They’d planned this day nearly two months ago. That’s how long it had taken for them to find a day they were both off of work. The lull following the war was over and as the nations worked to rebuild the Allied Villages’ forces were now stretched thin between resuming a near normal amount of missions while any shinobi with other skills were still working with restoration. This meant that if one of them were assaigned a mission the other was pulling a double shift at the hospital.

For the last six months they’d only seen one another, or any of their other friends, if they swung by the hospital or were assigned a mission together. So they had arranged a day where neither of them worked because Ino missed Sakura, Sakura missed Ino, and they both needed a break.

They were going to sleep in and then go shopping followed by lunch with a side of gossip before deciding what to so for the afternoon. So here Ino was pounding on Sakura’s apartment door nearly 10 minutes after they had agreed to meet.

Ino had been sent to get Sakura enough times to know if she was home and asleep her incessant pounding would have been enough to wake her. It was always possible that Sakura had been summoned to the hospital for an emergency, but Ino had just checked in at the hospital on the way from her house and there were no cases warranting Sakura on her day off.

There was also the possibility that Sakura had been called for a mission. When that had happened in the past they had started leaving notes for each other so at least they wouldn’t worry if the other disappeared clandestinely for a week. But Ino had already checked under the welcome mat where Sakura left her messages and there was nothing.

Ino growled and pound on the door a few more times. Sakura was in there she could tell. She pushed back at the dread creeping up her spine as all of the reasons Sakura might not be answering sprung to mind one after the other.

She shook her head and went to the end of the walkway. Sakura’s apartment was the last apartment on this level and furthest from the stairs. It was a modest apartment, nothing fancy. Its best feature, aside from its proximity to the hospital and Hokage tower, was the view from Sakura’s bedroom.

She swung herself over the walkway railing and with a little chakra jumped to the sill of Sakura’s bedroom window. As she secured a hand hold she felt mild panic at what she saw. She knew for a fact that Sakura never completely closed her curtains. She said she liked to watch the moon and stars over Hokage Mountain.

Ino knocked on the window and called for Sakura again. She was beginning to actually worry. She braced her hand against the glass of the window and twisted to rummage through the purse slung across her torso. She was trying to reach the lock pick tools she kept in an inside pocket of her purse so she didn’t see the hand the appeared from between the curtains to open the window.

With a yelp of surprise, Ino fell forward until her upper torso was inside Sakura’s bedroom. She struggled briefly with the curtains before looking up to be met with the sight of the one and only Sasuke Uchiha.

Wait, Sasuke? Last time she heard Sasuke was still traveling the world in search of himself, and redemption, and some kind of closure for a lifetime spent on lies.

“She’s in the shower. She can’t hear you.”

Past her initial shock at seeing him Ino really looked and saw the red across Sasuke’s cheeks and nose. More than just embarrassed he looked flushed, red creeping up his neck. On top of that his overall appearance was disheveled like he’d just come from a fight. There were even red bruises forming on his neck and his collar bone where his undershirt didn’t cov- OH MY GOD.

Ino’s thought processes slammed to a stop as if she’d run straight into a tree trunk. Her brows shot up in sync with her jaw dropping open.

Sasuke didn’t notice her gaping at him as he didn’t seem to be able to look at her.

Sasuke cleared his throat. “It’s my fau-She didn’t forget about your plans.”

She watched his gaze flit across the floor. “She’s been looking forward to today.” he said.

After two more silent, painfully awkward moments Ino grasped some of her bearings. “Tell her I’ll be waiting out front.”

Sasuke managed to nod but still didn’t make eye contact.

Ino worked her way backwards out of the window before moving to jump back the way she came. She thought she did an amazing job not breaking out into hysterical laughter until Sasuke had closed the window.

—

Sakura’s entire face was red when she stepped out of her apartment a few minutes later. She pointedly ignored the mischievous grin plastered on Ino’s.

Ino cleared her throat. “Aren’t you forgetting something?” she asked before pulling her own purse up into view. Sakura groaned before turning back to her door.

Once the door was closed Sakura went .to where her bag was hanging over the back of a kitchen chair and hesitated before making a bee line back to her bedroom.

She found Sasuke sitting on the edge if her bed working on fastening his pants after turning them right-side out. In a few steps she’d inserted herself between his knees and pulled his face up to hers for a deep kiss. His response was immediate, hand raising to her waist as he melted into her kiss.

She pulled back and their half-lidded gazes met. “Promise you’ll be here when I get back?” she asked.

Sasuke smiled “Aa.”

With a last peck on the lips Sakura was out of the room heading for the front door grabbing her bag on the way. She was gone before she could see Sasuke fall back on the bed his smile stretching into a grin.

Sakura emerged from her apartment the second time sporting a much milder blush and a smile. Ino smirked at her before linking one of her arms through Sakura’s. “Well, let’s get going. I feel like we have a lot to talk about!”
