Challenge Twenty Five:

Song: "Love Like Woe" by The Ready Set

"She's got a love like woe

Girl's got a love like woe

I kinda feel like it don't make sense

Because you're bringing me in

And now you're kicking me out again."

Itachi raced off as you tried to steady your nerves. You knocked on the door twice and patiently waited. Sasuke answered the door looking surprisingly normal. Both of you awkwardly sat down on the couch.

"So." You said.

"So." Sasuke repeated.

"I don't have much to say to you, but I know you have a lot to say to me. So spill the beans." You stated.

He took a deep breath. "I know you don't like me in a romantic way but please don't write me off as someone you'd never date. It hurts too much to be the best friend on the side and watch you date other people. Will you give me chance?" He asked quietly.

"I'm indecisive about this. I just don't want to ruin our friendship by making bad decisions. Let's tread carefully." You replied. Sasuke's face fell. "That wasn't a no you idiot. It obviously means a lot to you and you're the person closest to me so why would I not give you a chance? I'd be a bitch if I didn't even consider it." You added.

"Thank you." Sasuke breathed. "Thank you so much y/n, you have no idea how much this means to me."

"I think a good start would be to bond over some really shitty movies and over-salted popcorn. Sound good?" You asked with a grin.

Sasuke seemed to perk up a little bit. "Okay." He replied with a tiny smile of his own.

Both of you settled on the couch as the sun started to set outside. "Perfect timing." You commented. You curled your legs under you, so that you were sitting criss cross applesauce. The horror movie was so bad that you were laughing every time someone died, instead of feeling scared.

Sasuke seemed to be constantly testing the waters. He glanced at you before slowly slipping his arm around you. You flushed but let him do it anyways. If he went too far you'd stop him.

His arm rested gently on your back and it kept you close to him. His hand rested comfortably on your waist. You blushed even more, Sasuke really knew how to be cliche sometimes.

You thought back to something your parents had told you when you were younger. "Some people show lots of affection openly, but others get enough pleasure from being in the same room." You wondered if Sasuke would be open or more private. Probably more private knowing how emo he was.

Surprisingly you weren't that uncomfortable with acting all lovely dovey with Sasuke. It was just like being best friends but a little more intimate. You didn't feel quite like this when you were dating Naruto. Had your emotions snuck up on you?

"n... y/n... y/n!" Sasuke's voice brought you out of the trace-like state you were in.

"Oh sorry I was spacing out. What?" You asked.

"I just wanted to know if you wanted any more popcorn. We're out." He stated, gesturing to the empty bowl.

"Sure. I'll get some drinks while you make the popcorn. Here, I'll pause the movie." You grabbed the remote and pressed the pause button before you followed Sasuke to the kitchen.

You saw Sasuke eating a tomato like an apple. "You tomato freak." You teased, tapping Sasuke on the nose and making him go cross-eyed. You paused, and went silent before bursting into laughter and tears. "Oh my god you're such a dork." You laughed. He glared at you before reaching towards you and tickling you "Sasuke stop! Fuck my stomach hurts from laughing and I'm crying! Stop! Sasuke!" You exclaimed.

"Eww you got tears on me." He joked.

"They're tears of a pure virgin, you should feel purified." You retorted.

Sasuke chuckled. "You call me a dork while we all know that you're the true idiot here." He added.

"Oh you meanie." You whined and pouted.

"Don't use the puppy eyes on me." He complained, rolling his eyes and looking away from you.

"Aww is Sasuke a sucker for puppy eyes?" You teased.

"Shut up." He retorted, taking the popcorn out of the microwave and shoving it onto a bowl."Fucking hell, I burned myself." Sasuke muttered, shoving his finger in his mouth.

"Give me your hand." You stated holding your hand out. You took Sasuke's wrist and placed the burned finger under a cool stream of water from the sink. "Keep it there while I get some ice." You said calmly.

"Okay." He replied.

You got a plastic bag and filled it with a few pieces of ice. "Here. I'll go grab a band aid and we'll be good." You added. Sasuke held the ice on his hand and you searched his bathroom for band aids. You found it after a little while. You bandaged his burn and said "Ta-da!"

"But y/n it still hurts. Will you kiss it better?" Sasuke asked, feigning innocence.

"You're a cheeky little asshole." You replied, rolling your eyes but reaching to kiss his hand anyways.

When you were leaning forward, Sasuke wrapped his arm around you and shoved your mouth to his. When you pulled away he smirked.

Smug little Uchiha.
