"Because it felt so… invigorating."
A/N: Now don't let your perverted minds do the thinking. Just read. xD
"Sakura."
He called her name, staring at her in all her sulking glory.
She moved from her rather uncomfortable position on the bed, lying on her front with one of her arms dangling on the edge of the bed, half of her face buried in the piles and piles of fluffy pink pillows.
"Why are you here?"
She'd really hate to face him right now.
Sasuke walked closer to her bed, his tightening fists safely tucked in his pockets. He couldn't believe that this was happening. That a time like this would come when he would have to go down on his knees, cry, and apologize to her.
Well, that was just an exaggeration, but…
He sighed.
"Your mother let me in."
…it's so asdfghjkl hard.
She threw the blanket haphazardly across the bed and away from her, sitting up abruptly. "I didn't ask how you got in. I asked why you are here."
Maybe he had been used to waiting for her to make the first move. It had always been her who started everything in this… –ehem-lovely, lovely relationship-ehem-
"Sakura…" He groaned in frustration. "Stop being so dramatic."
…this thing.
"Maybe I should head up to the roof to make it even more dramatic."
"Sakura…"
She rolled her eyes, hearing him say her name for the third time in five minutes. For the first time in her life, she found him so annoying.
She didn't move from her hunched position, her legs folded, with her knees up against her chest. She rocked back and forth, ignoring him completely even when he sat beside her on the bed.
"Whatever Ino told you, it's all probably just a misunderstanding."
"Oh, so you're saying that Ino would lie to me?"
"That's not what I said."
"Yes, but you implied."
"I didn't either. If you'd just—"
"Listen to you then all I'd get are lies."
Sasuke had to backtrack after the whole conversation suddenly got dramatic and frowned. "Don't pull that cliché on me."
She chuckled shortly and then turned to look at him. "Clichés, huh?"
Suddenly, her eyes became hard to read, Sasuke mused. Her eyes, a dark shade of green, looked intensely back at him and he held her stare, refusing to go down without a fight.
Then she slapped him real hard.
He stared with wide eyes.
She stared back.
He stared some more.
She was furious just a moment ago, but now she was smiling.
He scoffed, with a slight fake smile at first just to aggravate her (but no, it didn't, she was just so happy) and then frowned. "You're smiling."
"Because it felt so…"
Oh, he definitely wouldn't want to hear what—
"…invigorating."
-well, there it is.
"After you've given Hinata flowers and all," she pouted, now properly sitting on the bed with her feet down against the cold floor. She winced, wiggling her toes. "You've never given me flowers before."
Ino. Flowers. Hinata.
Oh.
He couldn't believe he was so… slow.
Chyeah. The almighty Uchiha? Slow? It shouldn't be true.
But it is.
She's jealous?
It all finally made sense to Sasuke. He blinked at the girl who was now looking at her toenails, mumbling something along the lines of "Gotta repaint my nails pink" and then he smirked.
"Naruto. He asked me to give the flowers to that Hyuuga girl. Says she would just faint if he did."
He waited until his words finally sunk into her mind ("Oh," she said) and then inwardly sighed in relief when she gave him a light kiss on the lips.
"I'll let it go this time since you were just trying to be a good best friend."
"Hn."
"But you should still give me flowers."
A/N: Rushed. Obviously. :P Had to make it short. Pardon the randomness of it all. :D
