Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Sasuke the angst-bucket
Pairing: Naruto/Sasuke or so it seems….
Naruto arrived late to their team meeting. That should have been a sign. However, Sakura was too busy flirting with Sasuke, trying to impress him with her newfound strength to notice the strange upset look Naruto directed towards them.
Sasuke, while shrugging off the flirting, simply assumed that 'the dobe must have woken up late again'. How wrong he was.
Naruto then began his usual regimen of prodding Sasuke into sparring.
"Hey Sasuke, why are you so depressed? Is it cause you're weaker than me? Huh? Huh?"
This answer was met with silence from Konoha's number one angtsy ninja. Wait, did he move, yes he moved, it was definitely, an eye roll. But, did Sasuke look a little upset at Naruto's teasing?
Kakashi, late as usual, lost on the path of life, only stayed long enough to tell them there was no mission. Curiously, Naruto did not join Sakura in their chorus of "You're late!"
Naruto then tentatively approached Sasuke, visibly sweating. "Sasuke, I've thought this for a while, and I feel I should really let you know…" he stammered.
Sasuke's heart leapt, could it be that Naruto finally reciprocated his feelings? Sasuke leaned closer expectantly.
"I can't stand it any longer..." began Naruto, staring at Sakura, anticipating the beating
of his life for saying something so disgusting to Sasuke-kun blush.
"Your hair looks like a chicken butt!"
