one_long_mission | [closed] Multi-Purpose AU Post for Neji and Flirtsuke

"...Mm." She only nodded and squeezed his hand in return, turning her gaze forward as she let herself be temporarily lost in her own thoughts. Would it be a good idea, so soon? She had only barely turned eighteen herself, and yet, the life of a shinobi was never a long one, only a quick one. Even in this place, one could be snatched away at any moment, lending a sense of urgency that otherwise might not have been quite so present.

If she only knew in her future, should she return home, she would never even have the opportunity to see eighteen, let alone contemplate a family.

She exhaled and turned to look back to Sasuke again, lips curving up into a small, almost playful smile. "I take it you are asking because you want to start trying, Sasuke?"

"I.. ah.." dark eyes stared forward, a faint blush creeping across his cheeks. "...I feel... ready, but... like I said, most of the work is going to be you, so... so it's.. whenever you want." he laid a light kiss upon her cheek.

"...I love you so much...." if he only knew that the world he had been claimed from did not even exist... that everything he knew was mere fabrication, and that once he went back, he only would vanish...

Both their existences were doomed fates.

She hummed lightly again and let her fingers come up to brush over his lips, a gentle, easy touch full of affection as she traced the shape of his jaw.

"And I, you," she answered, complete sincerity in her voice as her hand continued its sweep back up into his hair. "Though I hope you are aware that we might, ah..." And then her cheeks went pink, because it was one thing to know something, quite another to discuss it openly. "Do... such things... without conceiving, should we wish to do so."

He leaned into the touch with a purr, dipping down a second to kiss her fingertips before she revealed that... oh, yes, it could be quite another discussion.

"Oh, ah... yeah. There's something about timing, when conceiving after all, and if... we want, we can... do it whenever" Whenever.... was a thought that flitted in a few times, but he knew it wasn't proper to ask.
She had brought it up though, so... He would never refuse her. Besides, he'd heard much about all the benefits. "As long as... it won't hurt your body" After all, once they would indeed conceive, he knew he would need to lie low. Then again, this was not something he had extensively researched.

"I take it... you're telling me for... reasons?" he purred and ducked to briefly nip at her neck. "...hmmmm?"

"Sasuke!" She gasped and flushed darker, pushing at his cheek to keep him from doing that again. "We're outside!" Where anyone could walk by and see them!

She kept that hold on his cheek, trying for a severe look (even though her flush rather ruined the effect). "In any case, I would have had to start such a thing a week previous, at the very least," she added, trying not to look so embarrassed. It wasn't as if their relationship wasn't a secret, or that purchase of such things wasn't entirely normal, but... it was embarrassing to acknowledge.

He gave a light, muffled groan, having somehow managed to forget. How hard was it to remember? NOT in the kitchen, and NOT outside. oh, or public places but he'd only needed to be reminded twice on that one.

"...hm.. a week previous." he echoed, then nodded slowly. So in three weeks then, would be the time. Unless she meant something else entirely. They would, after all, be trying to conceive, unless... "Should I still get... protection?"

Twice, to her unending embarrassment. What he says only embarrassed her further as she stared at him.

"That is what I was referring to! What is it you thought I had meant?"

"Red does suit you." he gave one of those disarming smiles her way. "Well, since I'll stop by there tomorrow, do you need me to get anything else anywhere after my shift at work...?"

Oh, as for what he thought she meant...? "...was thinking you meant your... you know, that time of the month?" since that needs protection too.

"No, I am perfectly capable of-- no!" She just flat-out put her head in her hands, almost wishing to disappear into a hole and not come out for at least an hour.

"I had thought-- if you wanted to, tonight, you could get--" Her voice was just a mumble as she tried (and failed) to compose herself completely.

Making a mental note to build a high fence and have climbing plants on it to give it a more natural look and hide this place from any passerby's eyes as soon as possible so it didn't count as 'outside' any longer and more a private part of inside, he suddenly claimed her within his arms, brushing his lips against her cheek.

Wordlessly and for what just might seem like it would last until the end of time, he hugged her, chin resting against her shoulder.

...he was probably the biggest idiot on earth, all worlds confounded right now for the last three minutes he spent speaking...

She just flushed more darkly and leaned into his hold, only slowly letting her hands drop as she swallowed hard. "I-- if you wish to begin attempts at conceiving already, that is-- certainly something we can do, but I had thought, before there was that kind of pressure, that it might be best to--"

Try it out sounded too casual, but it's what she meant, leaving her with her nose pressed against his shoulder. "...Forgive me."

"..no."

He gave a sigh. "I mean... I'm sorry. It's my fault." after all, he had brought this upon them without... any prior thought, it seemed. "I didn't think it was... pressure..."

The mere thought he'd made her feel pressured sent guilt shooting through him. "I.... really didn't mean it that way." he nuzzled the back of her neck and some hair faintly. "..I love you, Neji."

"Please do not misunderstand, I wish to have children, but I-- I need more time. To research, to ensure that I will be the best mother possible for our child. Genius... can only take me so far in this respect."

A small sigh as she pressed her nose more firmly against his shoulder. "I wish to be with you in this manner, make no mistake, but I... I am not ready to mother children, not yet."

"I understand." he murmured against her ear, kissing it. "Thank you... for stating it." until she was ready then, he wouldn't bring it up again.

It was, after all, something they both wanted, so once she felt she could do so, she would doubtlessly tell him. "..sorry... for sounding pushy." he nuzzled down and kissed the curve of her neck. "...oh and for being demonstrative outside. I should summon an earth wall next time." because yes, he could do that.

She closed her eyes and brushed a hand down his arm, relaxing slightly against him. "No, it is-- forgive me for the misunderstanding."

Then she flushed red again and pushed up to look him in the eye. "Do not dare summon a wall of earth here, you will ruin the garden."

He chuckled. "Not here of course... I'd summon it so it'd appear from the street~ I wouldn't mess up our dream-like garden~" he purred and, since she was at the right height, pushed a bit forward to lock lips with hers, rumbling a purr within a kiss.

"As if that would not be suspici--" She was cut off by the kiss with a soft sound of surprise, though she immediately pressed back into it, letting her fingers trail into his hair and hold him close. Only for a moment before she regained her senses and pulled back with a severe frown.

"We're outside, Sasuke," she murmured, a hint of breathiness to her tone.

He gave a sheepish smile before gathering her in his arms and slowly making his way to the door. "I'll have this issue resolved soon, dearest~" besides, he could grip the edge of the door with his toes and slide it open if needed. "Don't you worry~"

She didn't protest being picked up this time, used to it by now, though she did wrap her arms around his neck and lean in close to his ear. "Wait, Sasuke."

After everything they'd said before... how could she not? She pressed lips to his ear for a gentle kiss and murmured, "Go get protection for yourself. You may find yourself needing it."

He did pause at the door, and found a light blush marring his features at her command, much anticipation suddenly building. After making his way inside and giving her a long kiss, he murmured that he would be back soon.

It turned out to be a little above a half-hour, and when he popped back, he looked entirely too sheepish as he called out while stepping out of his shoes. "Sorry about that! Met the chibi on the way and he insisted I had to see something... He's sure getting good at controlling that chakra, but he needs to think before using fire jutsu in summer, even if it's just to show off." he set out about finding her within the house, holding that small paper bag tightly.

While he was gone, she hadn't spent her time idly. With little idea how long it would take, she changed her clothes quickly to something perhaps less serviceable, but more attractive (to her mind), a red silk kimono she'd found on sale after a festival, with small gold-embroidered birds along it. She set it carefully to expose her neck and shoulders, and settled in the center of the bare floor or their living room/training area to try to meditate and wait for his return.

Too nervous with anticipation to get too far, she opened her eyes immediately at the sound of him returning home, a light flush coloring her cheeks. "I hope he did not burn himself too badly."

"Nah, just a bush that was 'closer than he thought', ahha!" he stepped towards the direction of her voice. "I have enough water jutsu in my arsenal for that to be an issue though~"

And then, when he reached the place she laid upon, he froze. A goddess had descended, of this he was sure. "Someone... certainly was busy while I was gone." he purred, ambling over and claiming the bare neck with a light nip, a taste of what was to come, before nuzzling up along her jaw and reaching her ear, murmuring. "You... are the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes upon." there was a pause as he took in a shaky breath. "How can I even resist you?"

"I see." She couldn't help but smile at the thought of the poor child scrambling around, trying to solve that particular problem. She flushed more deeply when he entered, but resisted the urge to fidget with the practiced control of someone who never fidgeted, and instead only glanced to him with a bit of a smile.

Then another gasp as he leaned in, her own hand coming up to trail back into his hair again and hold him close. "I would rather hope you wouldn't be able to," she remarked, attempting for dry humor but it came out more breathless than anything else "Sasuke..."

There was lust, carefully held in check although very visible in those dark eyes, and his lips claimed hers once more in a deep kiss, having knelt down to join her upon the floor. A hand had dug into her hair and was stroking the long, straight strands. It wasn't long before his tongue seeked to take over the inside of her mouth, another rumble low in his throat.

She inhaled at that visible lust and flushed, leaning in to meet him and vaguely wondering if her own excitement was as visible in her eyes as it was in his. Then she didn't have time to think, one hand moving to trail down his chest, the other tightening in his hair to hold him close and fight back against the kiss -- not trying to end it, just to claim it, a soft, needy moan escaping her lips in spite of her efforts at propriety. Who cared about being proper right now? They were both inside, in the privacy of the home they shared...

She tightened her grip and tugged him in, the hand at his chest wrapping around his waist to keep him in close as she let her tongue press back against his, other hand moving from his hair to finger the shell of his ear, then scrape a thumbnail along it.
