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

Their days were monotonous -- sparring, working with her teammates, working at her hardly-ninjalike-job, none of it was quite enough to keep her content. She was restless, more willing to seek things out.

She kept her eyes on Sasuke's, trying to read his whole expression, trying to see if he knew what she was going to say before she said it. She took a breath and finished, "I wished to speak with you regarding... the starting of our family."

Part of him might have expected it, from the light shift in her tone, which was why he had rested the plates on the table only being half-conscious he'd done so. It was also quite fortunate,, because his hand left them to support himself on the table, his other hand reaching over to touch her cheek lightly, trace her jawline, her lips. His vision was shaking, blurring with tears that he couldn't even explain the sudden eruption of.

"...Neji..."

The starting... of their family...

To say she was startled by the tears would be an understatement, but it only showed on her face a moment before she reached up to lightly touch her fingers near one of his eyes. "If you are not ready, we can discuss this another time, Sasuke, truly."

Suddenly, in a flash of movement, he was in her lap, against her, holding her tightly and clinging to her. "No...." he shook his head.

"...no." he repeated.

"..I... I'm ready. I really-- if you-- I mean, Neji, I..." there, he's losing it and tipping over every word. "I'm so happy" he managed, nearly crushing her within the hug. maybe not crushing... but she could definitely feel it.

She sat there, both arms outstretched and feeling rather ridiculous as she wasn't completely certain what to do with the blatant display of emotion. Hesitantly, she let both arms wrap around him to hold him to her, fighting back another smile as she let a hand brush through his hair.

"I had hoped you would say that," she murmured, clutching him more tightly to herself at the rush of emotion that threatened to overwhelm her as well. It was a huge step for both of them, but... a necessary one. A good one.

He had always been emotional, really. He merely was not on the -angry- spectrum like many of his other counterparts. Now, however, emotions had overflowed. He knew their wish, he knew this was to be expected, but to actually be told such?

He claimed a few deep breaths, able to bring himself under control. "...does this mean.. you've calculated and... the best time is now?" he inquired, having drawn back a fraction, so dark eyes could stare into whites, wonder unhidden.

She only nodded at first, hugging him closely against her. "Now, soon, yes. It is hardly entirely scientific, but..." She took a breath and let her head lean against his, trying to fathom the enormity of just what she was suggesting.

She tried for a hint of her usual dry humor. "Though I am not averse to trying multiple times to achieve the wanted result, I hope you are aware."

"Neji..." he he let a long exhale out. "You.... no, we want a child, and we will get it." he kissed her lips briefly. "Tonight, tomorrow, we can try as many times as you wish..." They both wanted it.

It was their dream... She was ready, and so was he.
"I'll be gentle." he promised, a hand through her hair. "...then again, I can't recall saying that and actually being able to do it.." not that she had ever complained.

She laughed, a quiet, contented sound as she rested her forehead against his with a nod. It was a strange relief, to be able to choose and decide that yes, now was the proper time for such a thing. For both of them.

"We both know that is not a promise I will hold you to," she murmured, flushing lightly in response without losing her smile.

"hmmm..." he purred contentedly, his tea still untouched. He would have said much more, but somehow, his mind felt so hazy...

This was to be one of the best days, without question, so far. "Our future... is so bright, Neji, my love."

She only smiled and didn't answer, keeping her fingers in his hair as she held him close. It would be bright, and only brighter still. In spite of the complications of bloodline and clan, they would persevere.

He gave her hair a light kiss, nuzzling. "I love you." he repeated. "I love you, Neji." he could never say it enough.
He had never minded waiting for her to be ready. He had been living happily all those months... and now that she declared they could try, he was beyond himself with happiness.

"..sorry, I-- we're in the kitchen.. not proper..." but he couldn't let go.

"I believe this warrants an exception," she murmured in response, another light laugh falling from her lips as she hugged him in close. "I am sorry for hesitating so long, truly."

"No. Don't be sorry. You weren't hesitating, you were... thinking, preparing... I don't mind the wait, because... you,re comfortable with the idea now, if you brought it up, and this is what matters." he gave a kiss upon her ear.

He claimed a deep breath. "Every single day that went by was the best it could be... and the others from here on as well."

"I am." She nodded in confirmation and gave him another smile, contented. Her eyes fell closed at the kiss to her ear, and she just swayed there, thoroughly happy.

"And we will ensure that our future days are just as good, if not better."

"Better.. exists? Aha~" he gave a light laugh and nuzzled fiercely. "Do I ever love you..." he paused. "I do believe we'll be each other's dessert then, hmmm?" he purred.

"It will," she promised with a nod, then a laugh as he nuzzled her. "Was that your plan from the start, Sasuke?"

"It was not, actually... even if I sound way too happy at that." the Uchiha gave a sheepish smile. "I should actually let you finish your tea..." he slowly pulled away, feeling aglow with tangible happiness.

She didn't let him pull away that easily, instead tightening her grip and seizing his lips in a hard, passionate kiss.

...tea... was apparently very very far away in her mind.

It was now very very far away in his, as writhed against her, a pleased hum quickly turning into a moan. That kiss was simply unbelievably hot. Or at least it made him feel the overshirt he always ore open was just too much...

So yes, it did get discarded, ending up hapazardly upon the floor as he built up the passion.

Her moan echoed his as she kept him in against her, one hand only coming free long enough to help him push aside that overshirt. She kept the kiss up until she was out of breath and yanked herself away with a gasp and a playful smile.

"The dishes, Sasuke."

"..the..wha?" he panted, not even looking away from her. "I'll scrub them... harder tomorrow.." he clamped his mouth upon her collarbone, having fiercely nuzzled cloth out of the way. "..you.. can sleep in."

If she wanted him to stop, she might need extreme measures.

She was fully capable of stopping him, she just-- chose not to. Yes, that was definitely what happened as she let out a gasp, eyes darkening at his mouth against her collarbone.

"You know I do not sleep in," she managed, fingers threading back into his hair and against his ears, nails gripping fiercely into the backs of his ears. "Will I be the one to do them then in the morning?"

He gave a light pleased whimper at the touch, tongue dragging upon her skin. "..aah... n-no... just leave them out" stupid dishes breaking teh mood... he is -not- stopping for anything! Although yes, she does know and use his weak point magnificently.

Breaking the mood? She just found it more interesting that way, that bit of a tease. "And what shall I do about breakfast, Sasuke?"

She leaned in and pressed her lips to his ear, breath hot against his skin. "Though perhaps you can convince me to sleep in tomorrow, hm?"
