Her foot missed the last step thanks to those damn heels.

It was already too late by the time Sakura snapped out of her daze - she squeezed her eyes shut and braced for the impact. Maybe if I hit the ground hard enough, I could bury myself 6 feet under and never have to face the humiliation that would follow.

But she never hit the ground.

Instead, strong arms closed around her waist, and a warm, masculine scent enveloped her. Confused, she slowly opened her eyes and blinked up at Uchiha-senpai's gorgeous, sculpted-by-the-gods-who-loved-him face very close to hers.

Way. Too. Close.

This can NOT be good for my heart.

"That was close," Sakura could feel his voice through her hand on his chest, his breath on her ear as he murmured right into it, "Nearly let you down again. Good thing I wasn't late this time."

THIS TIME?!?!

...

It... really... is him. Meister really is Uchiha-senpai!

AN: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes chapters take ages to write... and sometimes, your muse takes you by the throat and SHAKES YOU VIOLENTLY, and you write the whole chapter in a week. Y'all can thank her and my beta for this chapter, bulelo, for the update hehe. Although I gotta admit, half of the writing was me circling around the scene, worried as to whether or not I'd do the moment justice. Also, for all my lovely readers on Wattpad, please enjoy this little bonus ;) I'd commissioned the sketch from an artist, and they did such a lovely job with the prelim sketches but unfortunately didn't get around to the final sketches (Pin, if by some miracle you're reading this, I'd love to see the finished piece :3). But yes! We've reached it! It's the moment! Aaaand I left you on a cliffhanger XD extended notes as per usual on Tumblr, if you're interested (also, P.S since I haven't done this in a while - we're at the beginning of Episode 10 now :)) Don't worry, though, there's a LOT more story to come - 33/96 plus extras for now. Anyways, thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you all greatly. As always, comments, reviews, favs, kudos, bookmarks, and scribbled sketches on the back of napkins always make my day. See you soon ~~~~
