Sasuke closed his eyes, willing the sneeze he was about to have away. ‘For how often I’m up here,’ he thought, rubbing his nose through his mask. ‘There shouldn’t be much dust from all my movement.’
He was silently making his way to her room again, his promise from last night about to be fulfilled.
He stopped and turned around. "How will you be waiting?"
Yina shrugged casually. "Maybe with my legs open."
Sasuke couldn’t stop thinking about what she said last night, doing everything in his power to make sure he made it into her room tonight. He had one more room to cross before making it to the panel that would drop him straight to Yina’s. He perched himself on a familiar beam, waiting to hear for any movements before opening the panel.
He could hear her voice coming through from below, but it didn’t sound like she was talking. He knew no one else could be in the room with her this late at night.
"Yina?" he whispered, silently pulling back the panel to peek in.
He was correct in that she was alone, and she wasn’t talking. She was singing.
His eyes widened as his ears drank in the sweet sound. This was his first time listening to her sing, and he hoped she wouldn’t notice he was there.
Yina was sitting, happily working on her latest project. The fabric flowed from her hands and into her lap, the slight sheen coming from the material shining in the light. Her hair was thrown up in a messy bun, a few loose strands framing her face. She had a wistful look on her face as she sang the words, his eyes entranced by the way her lips moved. Sasuke smiled, although it was hidden behind his mask.
Yina sighed, putting down the fabric she was sewing together to stretch out her legs. If there was one thing she missed from her time, it was having a comfortable place to do her work. Although not having large pieces of furniture helped open the room, sitting on the tatami mat can get tiresome for her legs. She unfolded her legs from beneath her, spreading them out in a "V" and shaking them out. "Ah.." she sighed, bouncing her legs as she leaned back, putting her hands on the ground to stabilize her.
Two knocks were heard from above, and she looked up and smiled at Sasuke. "Hello, Sasuke," she said, bringing her legs in to cross over each other. "I see you’ve kept your promise."
Sasuke dropped from the ceiling silently, pulling down his mask. "When have I not kept my promise?" he asked.
Yina laughed. "I’m just kidding. I didn’t think you’d be able to do back to back visits though. "
"Well, it seems tonight is your lucky night, Princess," Sasuke said, walking over to Yina. "And, if my memory serves me right-" he sat in front of Yina, his hands on her thighs as he leaned his face closer to hers. "Your legs were supposed to be open."
Yina gasped as Sasuke gently squeezed on her thighs, her legs uncrossing, resting on the floor on either side of the ninja. He crawled towards her, minimizing the gap between them. His lips gently met with hers as he slowly lowered her down onto the mat.
"Would you let me stroke your hair?" he asked, hesitantly.
Yina chuckled. "Why would you ask me something like that?"
"Don’t worry, I’m not treating you as a child," he said, giving her a small smile.
His mind went to watching her run around doing errands in Azuchi today.
"This is beautiful!" the tea house owner said. "Are you sure I don’t need to pay you? This must have taken up much of your time, and the fabric..."
"Please accept this as a gift," Yina said, smiling. "As a way for me to say thank you for everything." Yina bowed, offering the kimono again.
The tea house owner also bowed as she took the gift. "Thank you so much for your generosity, Princess Yina."
Sasuke smiled as he observed Yina beaming with pride as the young owner unfolded the kimono and praised her. He loved seeing her in her element, and it filled him with great pride when Yina was rewarded with such positive praise.
"When I see you doing your best, I can’t stay away from you," Sasuke said, his fingers carding through her hair. "I desire to stay up with you all night, caressing you, kissing you, and holding you tight."
Yina’s eyes closed in a sigh, her face leaning into Sasuke’s hand. "You’re going to make me blush," she said, looking up at him lovingly.
Sasuke lowered himself, trapping her lips in another kiss. His hands roamed her body, relishing in the feel of her nightwear. As his hands trailed down her arms, he took both wrists and brought them above her head. Yina gasped as Sasuke deepened their kiss, his tongue twining with hers.
Promises were fulfilled that night, as Yina and Sasuke cherished these rare moments. Although the threat of war loomed overhead, they were happy to be able to spend another night tangled in each other’s arms.
