Yes...this is a short drabble.

Written from Sakura's point of view.


When I found out they were together I don't think it really sunk in. I think I thought "this isn't happening".

They couldn't be together. But they were, and so I had to happy for him, for them.

If I loved Sasuke-kun I had to be happy for them.

It all sounded so reasonable in my head.

It wasn't really that I was even angry that I wouldn't be with him. I had known, in my heart that he would never think of me as more than a friend, a teammate.

But I also had never listened to Naruto, and never thought of him as more than a friend, a teammate.

I had both sides, someone hurt me, and I hurt someone.

And then I saw them, walking don't the street, at a summer festival. They were holding hands.

Sasuke was blushing, and Naruto was happily dragging him along.

Suddenly I just hurt.

And it wasn't all because of Sasuke-kun, really.

It was because I realized that Naruto really didn't like me. And it sort of hit me strait in the face.

It wasn't that I had ever really liked Naruto, but it was the simple fact that, well, really, he had been someone who always complemented me, and asked me out on dates. And I think he was serious.

I had always said I didn't like the attention, but in the end, in my mind, I had felt flattered, and happy to be appreciated.

I always turned him down, me heart set on someone who hardly saw me.

I never listened to Naruto, always thinking of Sasuke.

And in the end, I lost them both.
