Track 14: Come On Get Higher by Matt Nathanson

"So come on get higher loosen my lips

Faith and desire and the swing of your hips

Just pull me down hard

And drown me in love"

Walking into Mikoto's I felt like such a stranger, even though I had been there just the other day.

After leaving my mom's apartment with Ino, after promising my mom I would call the minute we got back to Konoha, I told her everything that happened over the phone.

God bless hands free Bluetooth devices.

There were boos, gasps, groans, and finally squeals of excitement as I finally told her how I felt about Sasuke. She was more than supportive and seemed more excited to get back to Konoha than I was.

To be honest I was a nervous wreck. What if I had ruined it? What if I had completely destroyed Sasuke's belief in love like my parents' divorce had for me. Or even worse! What if he had found another girl?

I had never driven so fast in my life. I had to get to the snowball stand.

Now standing in the middle of the living room I was wishing I was still in the car.

In the middle of my preparation of what I was going to tell Sasuke, I heard a door open.

Out came Mikoto in a simple blue dress and a frilly, pink apron. I braced myself for a barrage of insults, questions of what I was doing there, and last but not least her firing me. So you could imagine my surprise when she squealed and hugged me.

Apparently Mikoto was thrilled about the idea of Sasuke and I being together. She had just been caught off guard that she had seen us getting so physical together.

I blushed at this part.

"Oh come on Sakura, I may be older but I'm not dumb! You really thought I didn't notice?"

I sincerely shook my head yes.

"I'm not blind honey! I saw all the signs. You staying later after work hanging out in the man cave, which no other girl has ever been in I might add. Sasuke being in better moods and bringing you up any chance he got. You guys were smitten!" she squealed yet again.

Sometimes I wondered if this woman was half-Chihuahua.

"Thank you so much for your approval Mikoto" I beamed. "Now if you don't mind can you tell me where Sasuke is!"

I was feeling a tad bit more confident now to face him.

"Take a wild guess" she smirked as she pointed into the hallway.

"Thanks" I said as I walked in the direction she pointed in. As I walked away I could barely hear mutter something about "pink haired Uchihas".

I would have to deal with that another time.

When I walked down the stairs I could hear Naruto's cries.

"OH MAN GET HIM SASUKE! DO YOU SEE HIM! MAN I NEED AMMO! BACK ME UP YOU LITTLE BITCH!"

I got to the bottom step and saw that they were playing Call of Duty.

Classic.

"Ehem" I cleared my throat loudly to get their attention.

Both boys turned around and at that moment all of my confidence flew out the window as I locked eyes with Sasuke.

His expression was cold and unreadable.

Oh boy. This was going to be harder than I thought.

"Ummm Naurto" I uttered. "Do you think you could leave Sasuke and I alone for a sec?"

"Its about time." He said coolly as he stood up, brushed himself off, and then walked to the stairs.

He stopped in front of me and for the first time in his entire life I think Naruto properly whispered.

"Listen, just give him some time" he said quietly. "His ego's a little shattered, but at the end of the day this boy is crazy about you."

He patted me on the back and then jogged up the stairs.

With Naruto's words of wisdom I walked to the couch where Sasuke was sitting staring a hole into the tv screen.

I took a deep breath.

"Sasuke I-"

"Listen Sakura we don't have to do this" he said standing up.

Oh no. Wait, what was going on? What was about to say? Damn it I lost my place!

"No you listen" I said authoritatively as I poked his chest.

It's now or never girl.

"I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. It was horrible and uncomfortable, but at the time that's what I truly believed. And Sasuke I'm sorry but you know I don't lie and I didn't want to lie to you"

I could see the hurt in his eyes.

"Let me finish" I said as he tried to move past me.

"I was so messed up about this that I needed some answers. And do you know who I went to? My mom."

He eyes grew wide when he heard the answer. Between Sasuke and Ino they were the only ones who really knew how badly damaged my relationship with my mom was.

I chuckled. "Can you believe that? I was desperate to fix this. To figure out what was wrong that I went to the last person on earth I would ever got to for advice. That alone should have told me I was crazy about you"

He started to smirk and step closer to me, realizing where I was going with this.

"And after a lot of crying and bullshit soul searching she finally helped me see what love is really about. And I can't stand up here and spew out all these clichéd lines out at you that make your insides feel all tingly and warm, because that's….that's just not me. But I can tell you that, Sasuke Uchicha, when I'm you with you I feel higher than I ever have and I never, ever want to come down."

I was rambling. I could feel that I was rambling. And then I realized that I was trying to reach inside to find that perfect definition. That perfect love confession that would bring Shakespeare to shame, but for what? This was between Sasuke and I. And he knew exactly what he was getting into.

"Aww fuck it." I quipped as I grabbed his face and stared into what I hope was his soul. "Sasuke…..I love you"

I then leaned forward and kissed him.

Yep I kissed him. Kissed him right on his mouth.

It was sweet. It was sincere. It was us.

When we parted for air I cheekily smiled and said "And cut"

This would be the performance of my lifetime.

"I think we need another take" he smirked and brought our lips back together.

Oh hey there Mr. Tongue, nice to see you again.

All of a sudden we heard clapping and cheers.

We broke apart to see on the stairs Ino, Naruto, Mikoto, and…..was that Itachi?

"Awwww it's like something out of a fairytale!"

"Yayyyy my home girl is finally going to get some poonani!"

"SASUKE, BRO, YOU HAVE FOUND YOURSELF A DIMEPIECE!"

"I can't believe it. You're not gay?"

I laughed at Itachi's last remark as Sasuke groaned. He leaned down and then whispered "Well I we might as well give the people what the want"

Before I knew it Sasuke had picked me up and started spinning me in the air. It would have been so much more cooler if I would have been wearing a flowing gown, but unfortunately my mom's sweats had to suffice.

I closed my eyes and for once didn't feel scared as Sasuke suspended me in the air. I was falling, and it was magnificent. I didn't know what was going to happen next, but I didn't care. The only thing that mattered was what was right now and that was that Sasuke loved me, and I loved him. Nothing could ruin that.

PAT

Sasuke gently put me down as we turned to see what had just hit the floor. Our jaws dropped. Everyone else in the room caught on and followed our gaze.

Smack dab in the middle of the man cave was an ounce of (premium) weed. Weed that had just fallen out of my pocket, to be exact.

Mikoto slapped her forehead. "For fucks sakes Sakura I can only pretend that you're not a stoner for so long"

Sasuke grew pale and I ran my hands through my hair.

"Hehehe, wanna match?"

Ta-da! So there it is! My first published fan fiction. I actually wrote this all during the summer, but I was so nervous about posting it that I just kept it in a folder on my computer. I was never one to finish stories, so if I published this I wanted it to be finished! Hence, why I basically posted all the chapters in one night. Originally I just wanted it to be a oneshot, but it just kept growing and growing until my sister basically screamed to me"MAKE IT CHAPTERS". I haven't really written anything in awhile that wasn't a research paper, so my writing my have been really rusty. Anywho, I would really appreciate it if you guys reviewed and told me what you think! What was good, what could be better (there's probably going to be a lot of that lol), and all that great stuff!

I have a couple of other story ideas for this same universe, so hopefully if you guys liked it I can write those too.

Also, one last note. At the end when she says "wanna match" that's what people usually say when they want to combine their weed together so they can have more to smoke. I wanted to clear that up, because when my sister read it she thought it was suppose to say "gotta match?" hahaha. Anywhooooooo!

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed! :)
