Pairing: SasuSaku

Prompt: Popcorn, tragedies, Sakura's nagging, soda

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, duh.


"Sakura."

"Hmm?" Puzzled, she innocently batted her eyes at his stern voice.

Sasuke's eyebrows were furrowed fiercely as he let out a breath, an indication of his frustration. "We are NOT watching this movie."

There was a short pregnant pause which Sasuke took advantage of to prepare himself for-

"…And why NOT?" She demanded, her eyelids narrowing over jade green eyes. Sakura's face, usually coated with a small pink blush and bashful smile, was then growing red for the opposite reason.

Sasuke had to stop himself from cringing as she harshly picked up the thin case containing the very object of his fear and shoved it in his face.

Shit.

He cursed inwardly as he read the big pink title on the DVD case: Mission, Find Love. Sasuke could tell immediately that it was going to be a hopeless happy movie, and no sir, he was not one for sappy movies. Sasuke preferred gory horrific tragedies.

The messy haired handsome man cleared his throat and faced her, displaying his famous Uchiha stare. "Sakura, look at the cover. Most of it is just hearts and what the-" He stopped speaking briefly after turning the case over, "are those supposed to be aliens?"

Sakura sank back into the couch they were sprawled out on and retaliated his stare while crossing her creamy arms over her chest. "What's your point?" She asked, confused as to why her boyfriend was being so anal.

"The aliens are pink," He said, leaning forward to get his point across. He sighed when he only received a cross between a dirty and confused look in return, and dreaded the strange-haired girl's response.

"Sasuke-kun, of course aliens are pink! What are you, stupid or something," she replied as-a-matter-of-factly, amazing Sasuke with her reasoning. "And it's a love story about a girl who gets kidnapped by aliens and she gets saved by a superhero hunk and-"

Sasuke snorted.

Sakura rolled her eyes and went on. "Anyways, you PROMISED me that you would finally let me watch a movie with you that I wanted to watch! Last time we watched Saw 6 I had nightmares for weeks, so now it's my turn to torture you. I heard this movie was really really really really really really really.."

Bad? Sasuke thought, zoning out from her ramble. He examined her expressions as her face moved, her pink eyebrows furrowing and rising with each new statement she gave. Her cheeks were tinted a pretty peach, matching her cherry locks. His eyes traveled down to her attire, which today was an oversized muted red t-shirt and white shorts. His sight then came to her visible lean legs, and he admired them. She lay horizontally on the couch, leaning back against the side with her legs resting on top of Sasuke who was now sitting upright staring her down. He moved his hand and it rubbed against her leg slightly, the touch making him imagine more of her skin against his.

Maybe she'll stop if I just attack her now…

"And THAT is why we are going to watch this!" She concluded, unaware of the rape glances Sasuke has been sending her. Sasuke brought his eyes backs up to hers and seeing the determination in them, gave in.

"Hn," he grunted in defeat.

Sakura took it as a white flag and her face lit up immediately. She smiled slyly and clasped her hands together, "I'll go get the popcorn!" She stood up abruptly and skillfully disappeared into Sasuke's kitchen.

Sasuke anticipated her return with horror.


Sakura emerged from the corner of the kitchen holding two cans of pop and some popcorn. Sasuke lay on the couch, looking bored. Smiling, she popped the DVD into the DVD system and pressed play. She went over to Sasuke, and when he didn't move, she put two tiny hands to her hips and commanded, "Sasuke-kun, move."

When he lazily stayed put, she shrugged, picked up his head and sat down, his head lying in her small lap. He didn't protest. They watched the opening credits roll onto the screen. He exhaled, preparing himself for the next two hours.

"Sakura, I can't believe you're making me watch this," he drawled, his head still in her lap.

"Shut up, this is the good part," She shoved popcorn in his mouth in an attempt to shut Sasuke up. He had to sit up to keep from choking, and maybe dying.

They watched the couple on the screen dance under the stars and proclaim their undying love for each other.

"Sakura-"

Keeping her eyes glued to the screen, she shoved a pillow in his face.

It was agonizing. The plot was stupid, the main character was overly dramatic, and everything else was corny.

Sakura was aware of his obvious discomfort and he shifted uncomfortably in his new spot next to her. Sakura tried to ignore him, but she raised a thin eyebrow when he let out a yawn and tried to find a way to use her as a pillow.

"Sasuke-kun," She rolled the name off of her tongue, softly. He raised an eyebrow as he examined the meaning behind her tone in his head.
Oh God. She was using that tone. Sasuke knew this could not be good. "Hn," he recognized her question using his nice 'hn' (not his mean one, that would be bad), hoping the woman would have mercy on him.

"You know if you fall asleep I'll be really mad at you, right?" She questioned cutely, her eyes growing big and glowing emeralds in the dark. Her lips were plump and looked sweet-

Crap.

So she was using that approach. Sasuke growled under his breath and pried himself up, trying to keep his eyes open for the sake of his pestering girlfriend. He decided to give in, for now.


But no, the movie was overpowering terrible. Half an hour later he was praying for the end to come soon and decided to go at it again.

But before he could the strawberry-haired girl beat him to it. "Why can't you be like that with me?" She exclaimed. "I mean, the main character looks through the entire universe to find the girl, and then saves her, then in the end gives up his superpowers so they can be together!"

This was so stupid. He would not let her go on, his headache was bad enough already. "Saku-"

"SASUKE," She would not have any of it either. "Take a tip from the guy and grow a romantic bone, why don't you?" She crossed her arms and pursed her lips, waiting for him to retort.

Instead, he let out a tired, defeated breath, and breathed out, "You know I don't like happy endings" The ending credits were rolling by now and a cheesy love song was playing just to aggravate Sasuke's growing migraine. He grabbed the remote from the coffee table and turned the movie off. He leaned back into the couch and stretched his arms. Sakura glanced at him and her gaze softened as she searched his features in the dark. His eyes looked groggy, not from tiredness but from annoyance, his hair and clothes were ruffled and he almost looked exhausted.

"It's not good to be so anally depressing, Sasuke-kun," She taunted teasingly, reaching a soft hand for his face.

The said man ran his hand through his tangled hair in frustration.

He didn't speak but exhaled as she touched him. "And," She asked, searching his strong face for an answer. It was emotionless but a dark eyebrow rose and ebony eyes turned to her skeptically. "What is our story like? Do you want that to end badly too?" Her voice turned into a hushed whisper at the last words.

Sakura's question surprised Sasuke, but he did not dare to show it. He pondered silently and slid his hand over hers and led it down from his sharp jaw, holding it securely but gently. "No," he finally decided. The dark depths of his eyes reached her and penetrated her. "I don't."

And as she smiled, took his hand and led him to his own bedroom he decided, that she was right. Their story was a happy one.

And he liked it.


A/N: So this is the start of a drabble series!

I decided to do one to get back into the whole writing thing without overly analyzing every little thing I write and just putting out some small ideas my mind has every once in a while. (; If you're wondering, for now it's going to be only a SasuSaku drabble series, but later on I might add other pairings? We'll see how this goes. Just kind of doing this for fun, I'll try to update often.

Not sure how I feel about this one, but eh it's just a drabble and an idea I had like, a month ago so it seems old once I get it out on paper.

So write me a review and tell me what you think! n_n
