It's drabble time!
This'll be the first in a long line of drabbles revolving around Sakura and Sasuke.
Summary: Love should be like an algebraic equation, simple and straightforward.
Sakura often wondered why love was so complicated. It was all about chemicals and hormones and easily predicted things anyway. So why wasn't it simple?
Take an equation for example. Something like 2x = 5(5) – 9. The answer is 8. 5 x 5 = 25, - 9 and you get 16, then divide by 2 and get 8. It's simple really, and it's factual, but it's overly complicated. Why didn't they just write 2x = 5^2 - 9, or save us all a little time by putting 16 there. Suddenly your equation is so simple a 4th grader could do it. Love should be like that, simple, straightforward, and at the end there's an X to mark the spot of where your "happily ever after" can be found. But love is almost always just as weirdly written and unnecessarily complicated as that first equation, usually even more so.
But why?
That was the question Sakura found herself pondering over in calculus, absently staring at that night's assignment written on her otherwise blank sheet of paper. Of course, the next moment Sasuke was turning around to ask her something, and she promptly forgot all about her wonderings in favor of thinking about how good he looked in black.
