Shoulder kisses

[name] walked into the bedroom. The shared bedroom between her and the one person she never grows tired of laying beside, and climbs onto the bed.
Shes wearing an old t-shirt of his. It's a bit big, landing at her mid thigh. His clothes had never been so big on [name] that they looked like a dress, but they were still oversized and comfortable. They were warm, and smelled like him. Smelled like comfort.
Sasuke faced the other way, grunting in annoyance. He was having trouble pulling his shirt off, the collar getting stuck at his neck. It may had been a year or so since he lost his arm in the fight against Naruto, but he still has troubles. He doesn't like being babied or asking for help either, so [name] doesn't baby him and doesn't wait for him to ask. She crawls across the bed and lifts the fabric over his head, before gently dropping it to the floor beside his feet.
[name] didn't expect him to be startled by the sudden action. If the bed moving hadn't been enough of an indicator, he sensed her chakra long before the mattress dipped under her weight.
Thankfully she was right, and he wasn't startled at all.
He doesn't say anything, just leans over and lets out a tired sigh. He rests his chin in his only hand and closes his eyes. His hair is a bit messed up from the tussle with the shirt, but doesn't make move to touch it. If sasuke wanted it fixed, he would fix it himself or ask her to.
[name] smiles softly.
Strange how she came to love this stubborn, beautiful man.
She leaned forward and gently rested her hands on his upper back. He tensed at the touch, and she patiently waited for him to relax before moving again. He'd always been a bit shy went it came to physical affection. Shy, and uncomfortable at sudden contact. [name] did her best not to force it upon him, and she gave him time to adjust when needed. She cared enough for him to do a simple thing such as that.
The muscles in his back rolled under her fingers, before the tension eased and he relaxed into the warmth of her palms.
[name] leaned forward and placed gentle butterfly kisses on Sasukes shoulder, her lips barely making contact with his fair skin. Warmth rushed through her chest at the feeling, savoring the touch of his smooth skin underneath her sensitive lips. She breathed in his smell of home, feeling nothing but ease at his presence. Knowing he was here, with her. The love she felt for him. It was so warm.
Rubbing her thumbs on his back, she closed her eyes, and began trailing kisses from his shoulder blade to his neck.
He was warm. Always so warm.
[name] pressed a single last kiss in the crook of his neck, before nuzzling her face into him, humming in content. Sasuke didn't tense under her touch this time, only leaning into her.
"I love you." He whispered.
If she hadn't been so close to him, it's likely she wouldn't have heard him at all. He was quiet, almost meek when saying the phrase. Sasuke had always been that way when it came to love. Shy. A bit meek, but not too much so. He was simply unsure. And [name] understood. She would always be there to understand him.
Because she too, loved him.
"I love you too." She whispered back, pressing another kiss to the crook of his neck.
