A one-shot drabble that's been playing about in my mind recently, so just had to get it down on.. Something. Onwards my minions! 8D

Oh, yeah, The characters aren't mine obviously, and sorry to all those who did want me to update my old stuff, and maybe Tea Sir. Me and my friend are starting a-new on that, so it's more serious, and.. stuff. Now, drabble~

Update; I used spell-check now. There should be no typos. ^^;

True to her word, she'd accepted the small date that Naruto had, once again, pestered for, though why she agreed this time she didn't know. Though, it didn't matter.

They'd shared the evening together in all sorts of ways thanks to one of the local festivals, they'd ate, played and generally enjoyed each other's company before he, like a gentleman would, walked her home.

On the way they had none stop talked and without warning, the topic of Sasuke came up, much to their disliking. After a few moments of silence, Sakura had began to try and laugh it off, Naruto following pursuit, but tutted quietly as he noticed that it wasn't him she was with. It wasn't him that she was talking to in her mind. It wasn't him who she was playfully hitting while trying to change the topic.

It wasn't him.

Catching her playful punches, his eyes became half lidded as he watched her for a moment, their closeness causing some gear in the back of his mind to start whirring, quickly picking up speed despite never being used.

"I'm sorry Sakura-chan.. but.." His fingers wrapped around her wrists, the difference in size allowing him to do so effortlessly.

"I'm a guy too."Then with that said, he shifted her hands out to the side, his gaze locked onto hers, to which she felt she couldn't pull away.

"I'm stronger than you." He continued, his gaze softening, but only slightly as he brushed his forehead against hers, the cold metal off his forehead protector against her skin made her flinch, ever so slightly.

"..And sometimes I want.." His voice trailed off as he leaned over her some, the fact that he had indeed grown over the last three years dawning on her once again as he over powered her before her mind began to spin, her cheeks flare and eyes widen slightly realising her situation. She wanted to do something, but everything happened too fast.

"To kiss girls." And with that, he closed in the remaining distance that was a hairs thickness, his lips brushed hers but his eyes widened slightly as the sight before him suddenly caused pain in his chest.

Tears slipped from her eyes, for all she could still see, was not him. He felt angry, and hurt, for he knew who she couldn't see, knew it wasn't him, but instead was the Uchiha that had abandoned them.

Yeah. Don't hate me.

I just wanted to get it out of my head.
