The Path of a Shinobi (Reader x various)

Sasuke

My eyes slightly widened as he removed his hand and my face grew warm, but I noticed that I wasn't the only one.

He gazed at me with a tiny blush appearing on his cheeks and his ears looked redder than the setting sun.

"Go out with me," he added as he pulled out a small bouquet of flowers from under his black cloak and extended them out to me.

"I..." The words wouldn't come out of my mouth as I glanced between the bouquet and him.

'Is it really okay for me to say yes?'

His confidence started to wither as he realized he wasn't receiving an immediate response from me, but he tried to not let it show as he continued to hold the flowers out for me.

"I understand if you're hesitant about saying yes based on my past actions and because I wronged you, but... I'm being sincere about my feelings. The Uchihas have always loved like no other and love is an immense feeling we experience. I'm not going to joke about it."

'He's right. The Uchihas love wholeheartedly and losing that love is why they fell into the Curse of Hatred.'

"....I do feel something for you. I-... I like you. Even though you have pissed me off quite a bit... for some reason, the feelings I tried to kill off are still there," I earnestly said as I avoided his gaze from the embarrassment of confessing my feelings.

"So...?" He trailed off as he quietly awaited my answer.

"Yes... I'll go out with you."

A smile appeared on his lips and he slowly inched closer with his face leaning towards mine. I realized that he was going in for a kiss and I closed my eyes and let my lips reach his.

His hand caressed my cheek as he deepened the kiss between us and I felt my face grow hot when he pulled away and proceeded to kiss and nibble my neck.

"Woah there lover boy. You barely asked me out and you're trying to get it on? Shame on you," I chuckled into his ear and he soon pulled away with a smirk on his lips.

"I wanted to show people that you're taken by me," his finger brushed along my neck and I pulled out a kunai to look at my reflection. As I stared at myself, I could clearly see that he left a hickey on my neck. "As for the other part, we'll wait until we're ready."

I slapped my hand on my neck and exclaimed, "Sasuke!"

He grabbed ahold of the hand that was on my neck and removed it so it would be visible all while his hand remained holding mine.

~The Next Day~

Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi Sensei and I were standing at the main gate with Sasuke who was ready to leave.

His attire was concealed with his black cloak that ran down to his ankles.

"Must you go?" Asked Sakura.

"Yes," he replied and explained the reason why before his eyes lingered on me. He walked up to me and reached for my hand and held my hand in his.

"Come with me," he said to me and I shyly side glanced my friends who had their mouths hung open.

"Wait! When did this happen?!" Shrieked Naruto in utter confusion.

"Erm... yesterday," I said and I saw that Sakura appeared a bit heartbroken, but nonetheless was happy for the two of us.

Sasuke and I being together was an eye opener for her and it was what she needed to finally let go and move on to someone else.

"Congratulations you two," she said as she clapped for us.
