Summary: Sasuke's return to Konoha isn't exactly smooth, but Naruto and Sakura make it easier.
Everything around him was warm when Sasuke woke up. His gut instinct - the internal shriek of runfightsurvive that kept him alive - kicked in automatically, as Sasuke bolted up. Or at least attempted to, as he found himself hampered by thick blankets and warm, solid arms around his chest.
“Hey, stop that,” Naruto grumbled, yanking Sasuke down to the bed again. Sasuke rolled onto his side, jaw tight, but obeyed, settling back into the pillows. Right. Last night. His first night back in Konoha as a free man - Naruto, Sakura, and more sake than he'd like to admit.
But it'd been good, too. Sasuke'd been so focused on revenge for so much of his life, he'd never stopped to think there might be a reason everyone seemed to enjoy sex so much. His lips curled wryly, as he reflected that, last night, he'd been quite thoroughly deflowered by two people who seemed to definitely know what they were doing. Apparently Naruto and Sakura hadn't repressed their hormones as much as Sasuke had.
Thinking of Sakura, Sasuke peered over Naruto's hip, to where the female member of their team was smiling at him sleepily. “Hey, you.” She reached over and tangled her fingers with Sasuke's, pressing a lazy kiss to Naruto's shoulder before propping herself up and leaning over to thoroughly molest Sasuke's mouth with her own. Naruto groaned between them, sitting up and back.
“Aw, guys, no fair. What about me? How come no one's kissing me?” Sakura elbowed his ribs lightly.
“Wait your turn.” She slid her tongue over the roof of Sasuke's mouth a final time before sliding away to give a beaming Naruto the same treatment. Sasuke watched her with mild interest, eyes tracing the curves of her breasts and hips as she clambered up to straddle Naruto's lap.
“That's what I'm talking about.” Naruto smirked, cheerfully palming himself a handful of breast as Sakura set to sucking bruises in his jawline. “Sasuke, get your ass over here. I've got a free hand.” Sasuke felt the familiar retort of 'make me' welling up in his throat, but Sakura's soft expression convinced him otherwise, and he scooted closer. Sakura rewarded his avoiding a fight with another long kiss, as Naruto set to groping them both.
“Mmmm.” Sakura pulled back, still fondling Naruto's shoulders. “I think we should move this to a more sanitary venue, don't you?” Naruto, with a naked Sakura in his lap and a nude Sasuke pressed against his side, was not at his most intelligent.
“Huh? Sakura-chan, what're you talking about?” Sakura rolled her eyes, and Sasuke snorted.
“She means the bathroom, Naruto.” His eyes widened, and he grinned.
“You mean, like...?” Sakura nodded, looking her most angelic.
“Shower sex,” she stated primly. Naruto nodded eagerly, practically leaping out of bed and bolting to the bathroom. Sakura finally lost control of her laughter, tumbling into Sasuke's side as she cracked up. Even he had to admit it was funny, cracking a smirk. Sakura smiled blissfully, resting against Sasuke. “Come on, I think he might explode if we deny him shower sex.”
She wound their fingers together and pulled Sasuke to his feet, leading him into the bathroom and Naruto's waiting arms. The steam obscured their vision, so the mechanics were a bit awkward, but the contrast between Naruto's large hands on his back and Sakura's soft legs around his waist made it worthwhile. Afterwards, they tumbled out and back into the bed, pleasantly exhausted and relaxed.
For the first time, in a long time, Sasuke woke up feeling safe.
