He woke with the sound of chirping birds ringing in his ears.

Blinking his eyes open, Sasuke inhaled deeply and stretched his limbs. His legs dangled off of the couch and he wondered if Sakura could be convinced to change her loveseat in her office to something larger.

He turned onto his back and stared at the ceiling tiles. As soon as the ringing was gone from his ears and the world became silent again he started to count.

One…

Two…

Three…

Four…

The door opened with a click and Sakura creeped into her own office carrying a cardboard box full of folders.

If it weren’t for the way Sakura would try to sneak in to get work done, Sasuke would think she knew exactly when it was that he woke up from his nap. She always arrived seconds after he woke up on his own.

“Hey sleepyhead.”

Sakura squatted down so that she was eye level with him ran her fingers through his hair, massaging his scalp as she did so.

“I’m just going to look over some cases if you want to keep sleeping.”

Sasuke watched as she made her way to her desk. She set her box on the desk and smoothed her lab coat under her thighs as she sat down.

The clacking of the keyboard keys and the sound of her sleeves rubbing against the desk surface as she wrote lulled him back to sleep.

Saturday Night 11:00 pm

“So now that my parents are asleep upstairs…I guess we can watch One Punch Man.” Sasuke, wearing a pair of black cotton pants with a matching sleeveless undershirt that exposed his toned biceps, which resulted in him catching Sakura staring at them.

“Done staring?” He asks in an amused tone, his mouth raised in a smirk.

“O…um yeah, I mean gomen Sasuke-kun, I didn’t mean to stare, it’s just that I never knew you were so huge-…you know what? Nevermind.” Sakura hurriedly takes a seat on the couch as Sasuke puts Netflix on the flat screen television. He then takes a seat next to her and relishes in the way how her body tensed when he pulls her close to him.

Sakura was positive her entire body temperature has risen when she felt Sasuke’s arm behind her waist. It’s a good thing she was wearing a light full-sleeves pink nightgown with a pair of beige pajama pants. Otherwise Sasuke would see her entire skin burning in a pink shade from the close proximity.

Deciding to be more bold, he leans down to her level and then lifts her chin up with 2 fingers to kiss and then whispers in her ear “I really like your hair down.” He then kisses her head and then presses the play button on the remote to let episode 1 play.

5 episodes later and Sasuke was not at all amused, he didn’t understand what was so funny that caused Sakura to laugh so many times. He did feel pity for Speed o Sound Sonic when he got harshly kicked between the legs from Saitama. And even at that moment his hand automatically moved to cover Sakura’s eyes from that cringe worthy scene.

“I think we should call it a night, we still have finals to study for.” He closes the television, and then gives her a hand, which she easily accepts. She then let’s out a yelp when Sasuke brings their mouths in a soft, long kiss. “Good night.” He smiles when he lets go, and in response she simpers and kisses him on his cheek as she goes into the guest bedroom.

Sunday Morning 9:30 am

Sakura woke up from hearing a loud knock, “Sakura-chan it’s time for breakfast!” 

“I’m awake Uchiha-san, just give me 10 minutes to get ready!” Sakura sits up from her bed to rub her eyes.

“Take your time, it’s only us two in the house.”Mikoto reassures her.

“Ah thank you.” Sakura appreciates the fact that she can come out in her night clothes. She then heads to the bathroom to do her usual morning routine.

When she got out of the bathroom, she quickly combs her hair and sets it in a half up twist adorned with a fancy flower comb. For clothes she wears a pastel pink t-shirt and a white ankle length skirt. Although it was super hot, Sakura still chose to dress modestly because she didn’t want to leave a bad impression on Sasuke’s parents. 

When she got out of her bedroom, she could smell the aroma of Dashi (fish broth) coming from the kitchen.

“Ohayo Uchiha-san.” Sakura greets the mother of her boyfriend, who in turn responds with the same words and adds, “You look so lovely Sakura-chan.” She smiles at her, which made the pink maiden blush. “Is there anything I can do to help?” Sakura asks, wanting to help and not feel useless.

“Of course, how about you make 20-30 o-musubi (rice balls) before my husband and Sasuke return in a half an hour, you think you can handle it?” Mikoto challenges her, to which Sakura accepts with a smirk “I’ll have each of them neatly wrapped with nori (seaweed wrap) in 20 minutes.” 

“I’ll be looking forward then.” Mikoto promises by giving her a wink.

5:00 pm

Breakfast had gone by rather smoothly, it was now 5:00 and it was so hot despite it being only mid April, that all Sakura wanted to do was jump in a swimming pool. She was simultaneously reviewing her hand-written detailed notes and outlines on the procedures of heart and brain surgeries while cooling herself with a paper fan. Sasuke on the other hand was composed while reading and taking notes from his computer engineering textbooks without breaking a sweat. She took a double take at him and noticed that he was wearing reading glasses, which oddly made him look attractive in them.

“What?” He asks, noticing that she was staring at him.

“It’s nothing really, just my first time seeing you in glasses.” She truthfully tells him.

With a hum, he simply resumes his studying as does she. There would be plenty of time for idle chat after graduation. 

9:30 pm

Sakura decided to call it a day, she gets up from the her that she was sharing from Sasuke’s desk. As she stands she felt a cool spring-like breeze past through her from Sasuke’s windows, and relishes it. She then grabs her books and tucks them back in her roll on bag. 

Sasuke on the other hand was sill engrossed in his studying, so she quickly tells him “Ne Sasuke-kun I’m going out for a walk” which caused him to give her his entire attention to her. “Where?” He demands, she wants to take a walk this late at night?

“Its’s just on the sidewalk, your mom told me if I felt like taking a stroll she gave me the okay!” She reassures him that she won’t go far off. “Besides, it’s been so hot all day that I wanna enjoy this nice weather.”

In response he pokes her forehead, “Annoying.” He turns around and closes his books before he tells her, “Give me two minutes.” As he heads to the bathroom with a black dress shirt in his hand. When he comes out of the bathroom, Sakura couldn’t help but blush at how handsome he looked in all black. He was also wearing a silver bracelet. Before she asks him why he changed he beats her to it by telling her “I’m taking you out to dinner tonight, so go change.” 

With a nod, Sakura scurries into her guest bedroom. 

She comes out in five minutes wearing a long simple white maxi dress, a pair of ivory sandals, and her hair twisted in a side braid. Sasuke who was sitting on the  living room couch, stands up and smirks in approval. He also notices Sakura carrying her Fullmetal Alchemist wristlet wallet with a picture of Alphonse in his iron suit, which only made him chuckle. His girlfriend really was adorable.

“Shall we?” He offers her his arm, which she accepts and together they head out on their very first date.
