A Night to Remember

The after party (final part)

“Neh, Sakura-chan, let’s go to our room.” Naruto whispered softly into his wife’s ear. She didn’t hear him, or as he thought, pretended not to hear him, so he gently moved the pink strains of hair to the side, and started sucking her neck gently.

That should get her attention.

Who cared that she was in conversation with one of her students at the Hospital?

She wanted to sit in his lap, so she should have known he would eventually react this way.

“Ie, Naruto, don’t do that!” she squalled as he pinched her hip. Her voice came out louder then she realized, and her young female apprentice quickly excused herself, saying she had some other business to attend.

Naruto continued to massage her thighs, while his other hand slowly searched for the opening of her dress, and Sakura tightened her grip on the sheets of the table that covered his actions.

At the feeling of his fingers against her naked skin she jumped and she grabbed his pols.

She turned her head around and gave him a threatening look. “I’m serious, Naruto. Don’t!”
Naruto noticed her face was getting redder by the minute and he didn’t really know if that was because she was angry or because she was really turned on. It didn’t matter, either one, he still wanted to go upstairs and seal their marriage for real.

Oh yes, of course they’ve done it before. After they became a couple, it didn’t take long before they became more intimate with each other. He couldn’t wait, and after desiring her for so long, he gladly agreed when she told him it was time to move the relationship to another level.

Having experienced such bliss on that first night, they took every opportunity to explore each other further. Naruto could never keep his hands of Sakura, not even in the presence of their friends, much to Sakura’s disliking.

They just did it this morning as a matter of fact. Sakura was reluctant at first, saying it would cause bad fortune, but at the end he managed to convince her with just a few touches, as he always did.

He lunged forward and catched her lips in a heated kiss. It took her by surprise, and as she parted her mouth to protest, his tongue slipped through. It didn’t take long for her tongue joined him and she let out a muffled moan in appreciation.

“I’ve rented that very expensive suite for the whole night you know.” he said with a restraint voice as he thought about all the things they could do with a bed right now.

“What do you mean?! I thought we got it for free? You know, as a favor for the Hokage?” she asked with a serious look on her face, as if unaffected by what Naruto experienced as a mind-blowing kiss.

Naruto grunted his teeth, it seemed he didn’t quite convince her yet. “Yeah, but I have seen how much it usually costs.”

“Ah, c’mon Naruto, it’s my wedding too you know!” she pouted. “I don’t want to leave our friends yet.”

Naruto let out a sigh.

Why does she always have to look at me like that? With that cute yet determined pout on her face, she knew it was impossible for him to say ‘no’. She knew him far to well. But he wasn’t going to give up anytime soon either. He gripped her thighs and he moved his hips up wards, pressing himself even more against her firm buttocks.

When he saw her eyes widen, a smirk formed on his lips.

“It’s okay koi, we can do it here as well.” He said mischievously

On her cheeks appeared the blush that only Naruto was able to evoke.

In less then a second, she was up and turned, pulling him upward by his arm.

She hugged him and whispered. “You win. Let’s go to our room, aruji”

He liked the prospect.

It wasn’t so that it was difficult, slow dancing. Nothing was difficult for Sasuke.

Sure, there was the initial clumsiness, where he managed to separate several dancing couples by bumping against them. The males gave him burning looks while the females directed their glares toward the young women in his arms, who they suspected to be the cause of their small collision.

And it seemed they caught the attention of a lot of other people as well, as he could hear the whispering around them multiply.

He pretended not to notice all those eyes focused on himself, and made a mental note to beat the hell out of those that dared remarking his dancing skills.

But it didn't take him long to perform the steps effortlessly, and he thanked his heritage once more.

It was really nauseating though, the whole spinning around thing. A slower pace seemed to be more comfortable, and it seemed Hinata agreed, because it made her lift her heels and cling to him even tighter, to the point her breast were painfully pressed against his chest.

But at the same time, it also felt really really good.

Sasuke vaguely remembered that he should hate this, dancing with her, being close to her. His dislike for woman, was after all imprinted into his brain. He wondered if the booze finally affected him as well, because he was enjoying this far too much.

Closing his eyes and trying to focus on the music, he buried his head in the crook of her neck, and as he inhaled her scent, he completely forgot his inhibitions. He wasn't even aware of his hand moving upwardly, and cupping her cheek.This was enough encouragement for her to tilt her head to the side and give him more access to her neck.

She smelled like she just bathed, wearing an intoxicating perfume, which prickeled his senses, sending a joilt of electricity through his whole body.

He wondered how she tasted...

His lips had only just touched the soft skin of her neck when the music suddenly faded out. Yet it was her soft moan, barely audible, that got his immediate attention, and he froze.

When she stopped breathing he thought she had died in his arms, although her hart pumped as loudly through her chest as his own.

Fuck, was his first thought, as he tightened his grip on her.

“Sa-sasuke?”
Her voice sounded muffled, but it meant that she was still alive.

Fuck,was also his second thought.

Hinata pulled on his arms, urging him to loosen his hold on her, which he reluctantly did. She blushed and took a step back wards, creating some distance between their bodies.

Sasuke tried to remember the ways you could evoke long-term amnesia, but his own mind seemed to be completely blank right now.

She moved her lips, but he heard no sound come out yet he was sure she had said something.

Great, now I'm going deaf as well.

“What?” he asked, a little more harsh then intended.

“I...”

“EXCUSE ME!” Came the loud voice crashing down on them both.

“Oh it’s already on.” Sakura giggled into the Mic, tapping it a few times to make sure she had everyone’s attention.

Sasuke rolled his eyes and snorted. Yeah right, like you didn’t know that. Never the less, he was grateful for the interruption.

“Hi all, so are you having fun?”

Happy cheering came from several guests.

“I can’t hear you! I asked, are you having fun!”

More cheering.

Sasuke felt his stomach turn from all gleefulness around him. He eyed Hinata who didn’t seem to be distraught by it. She met his eyes and smiled, and for some reason he found it hard to resist the urge of smiling right back at her. So when he felt the corners of his mouth twist upwardly, he quickly turned his head to the side, suddenly very interested in what Sakura had to say. He felt his cheeks burn up and hoped she didn’t notice.

“That’s more like it!” Her laughter echoed against the walls once more. “Well folks it’s been an amazing night for us but I’m afraid...”

When Naruto appeared up the small stage, and waved, the enthusiastic crowd, raised whatever they had into their hands into the air, while applauding for their Hokage.

“Uhm, so as I was saying Naruto and I are...!” when the applause didn’t fade at hearing her she frowned at Naruto, who raised his hands up in the air and lifted his shoulder, and gave her a forgiving look.

“EXCUSE ME!” she screeched again into the Mic. The room was filled with Sakura’s killer-intent, knocking out beverages out of most of the people their hands. Everyone became silent, and again Sasuke was grateful.

“Uhm,” she coughed, “What I was about to say, was thank you all for a wonderfull night but...”

Naruto put an arm around his wife and interrupted “ And for all those awesome presents as well” he winked.

Sasuke never bothered to buy one. Wasted money, he thought.

“Yes of course! But I’m afraid we have to leave you now.”

“So I can get some!” Naruto said out loud, and Sakura elbowed him in the stomach.

Some people awed, other frowned at the way those two showed their affection for each other. They were such an unlikely pair.

“Hehe, what he meant was that we want to retreat to our chamber,” she said quickly, “but there’s enough booze and music for you to continue this till late in the morning!”

“So have fun...” Naruto moaned in pain, but quickly recovered himself and waved to his friends. When he spotted Sasuke in the crowd, with Hinata standing next to him, he winked and gave him two thumbs up.

Sasuke rolled his eyes, but people around him seemed to be liking the gesture, and waved back with more enthusiasm, as if the gesture was intended for them personally.

Naruto swapped up his wife, holding her bridle-style, and disappeared in a Puff off smoke.

“Eh so, what are we going to do now?” she asked as they both looked at the now empty stage.

“We?" he frowned. "I don’t know about you, but I'm leaving."

"Oh? Already?"

He shrugged, " Hmph, I only came to this stupid party because Naruto asked me” .

No, because the idiot bribed me... he corrected himself inwardly

“Me too.” She said sadly “and he didn’t even talk to me.”

Sasuke immediately regretted bringing up the dobe. Too be honest, he completely forgot about her crush on his friend and was even a bit offended that she’d still be sad about him.

Then she bursted out in tears.

And started laughing. He blinked his eyes in confusion.
“I’m. Such. An. Idiot” she hiccuped between giggles.

He frowned. What does she expect him to say about that?

“Yes. Yes you are.” He responded.

She laughed even harder at that so he took her arm and dragged her toward the exit. People were taking a bit too much notice for his liking. She halted and shook him off. “Where are we going?”

“I’m going home” He stated, “and I don’t know about you but I think you hurry up and get home as well, before you get in trouble, not that I care.”

“Oh.” she muttered., when her laughter subsided.

“Oh?”

She sighed. “I’d prefer not going home right now.”

“So you want to stay here?”

“No, not exactly” She said without second thought, and looked at him almost hopefully.

He cocked an eyebrow, and he felt her big pupilless eyes were going to bore holes through his skull. What does she want from me? She had a curious look on her face. Did she expect that he would invite her to spent the night with him?

Of course not, he reminded himself, this is Hinata.. His brain waves were just making too many crazy loops tonight.

“What about your cousin?” he asked.

“Neji-kun?” she said surprised. “What about him?” she said, and her cheeks reddened, which startled Sasuke.

“So couldn’t you go to his place? Or a friend?”

“Ah, normally I would go to Tenten’s but she’s...” she nudged her head in the direction of the dance floor “kind of occupied right now.”

Sasuke followed her gaze and spotted her cousin what only could be described as getting lucky on the dance floor. He seemed to be on the receiving end though, standing rather stiff, as the girl with buns attacked his mouth.

He chuckled.

Was everyone getting laid tonight?

It was a thought that briefly crossed his mind before looking back at Hinata, who blushed, a bit embarrassed by her cousin’s compromising position, and friend’s actions.

“So can I come with you?” Hinata suddenly blurted out., Seeing the shocked expression on Sasuke’s face she casted her gaze downward, “It’s just, I know you live alone.” She said softly, “No, you are always alone, and I... I’m not much different then you I think ... and I also... need some... comfort.”

“Hn, you believe you are as fucked up as I am?” he laughed “I don’t think so.”

He turned his back towards her. "I don’t need anyone” he added.

For some reason, it felt like a lie and he clenched his fists before walking away.

She followed him outside. “I’m sorry, I...I’ll be fine, It's okay,... just... please forget about this!” she stuttered hastily, as if she needed to get away from him as quickly as possible.
And then she walked away, and he closed his eyes in annoyance.When he opened his eyes, she was already out of sight.

The sweet scent of her perfume was already gone, evaporated into the air..

He licked his lips.

Gone as well.

He cursed himself for forgetting to savor her taste.
