A little one-shot about Sasuke and Sakura's friendship

'Stop looking at her!' He yelled in his mind. But his eyes betrayed him once again, and looked to his side where she sat.

Sakura Haruno.

One of the first, and few girls, who didn't throw themselves at his feet…

Sasuke and Sakura had been friends since kindergarten, where she had been the first one to knock him over when she was playing tag, instead of using her time on making stupid flower crowns for him, like all the other annoying girls.

As time went by, and they both matured, Sasuke eventually grew rather interested in his only female friend, not that he would never admit to that.

He had actually never treated her like a real friend. He insulted her all the time, but it was as if she knew that he really didn't mean it.

Currently, they were sitting in one of the more secluded areas in the big library in Konoha.

She was reading her philosophy book-thing, though she studied to be a doctor, she enjoyed reading other people's clever words and thoughts.

'Annoying' No, not really. He would never admit this either, but he admired her lifestyle. She seemed so carefree at times; she was clever, feisty; free to live her own life.

...

He fantasized about her often.

He imagined himself married to her, having a bunch of kids running around.

He imagined how she would wrap her arms around him when he came home from a tiring day at work; offering him her warmth and comfort.

In his mind, he had a whole life planned out for them.

"Mmm, Sasuke-kun?" A sweet voice reached his ears, but he blocked it out, it was probably just his imagination, after all, he had never heard Sakura say his name like that before.

"Sasuke-kun?" There it was again, that annoyingly sweet voice. Okay, maybe it wasn't just his mind playing games with him after all.

"Hello, Sasuke, do you hear me" Was she laughing at him? He hoped not!

Opening his eyes, he looked at the pink-haired girl, and immediately regretted it.

Why did she suddenly appear to be more beautiful right now than she had ever been, of course, she had always been beautiful, but right now, she looked like a true goddess; maybe it had something to do with the light?

"Sasuke!" She (almost) yelled, they were in a library after all.

Sadly for her, Sasuke didn't care, and he snapped at her.

"Stop saying my name! I can't believe I'm even friends with you! You're pathetic" Ups.

Did he say that?! Oh GOD! How could those words leave his mouth?

He looked at her face, aand it was not pretty… He didn't think he had ever seen her look so hurt ever before.

If someone ever invented a time machine, he would go straight back to this day and punch himself before he could say that.

Before he could even open his mouth to apologize, she was already gathering her books in her back, and rising from her chair.

"Oh, I'm sorry Sasuke. It won't happen ever again"

He could hear how hurt she was, though she tried to hide it.

But it confused him. He had called her annoying and pathetic many times before, and all those times she had just ignored it.

Rushing after her, he grabbed her by the elbow just as they were outside of the library.

"Sakura – I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way, I just –"
"I knew perfectly well what you meant, Sasuke" She sneered at him.

Why was she acting so hostile towards him?

"You have called me those names so many times before Sasuke, and I have always ignored it! But I can tell you, Uchiha Sasuke, it hurts! And now, you tell me that you don't even know why we are friends..."

Before he could say anything else, she was gone.

'I am an idiot'
