Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

They stared. He didn't notice. Because everyone knew that he was oblivious when it came to himself.

They sighed. Because they were so obvious when it came to him.

Everyone noticed. Exception being Naruto Uzumaki.

Sasuke glared.

Sakura fumed.

Sai just smiled.

And they were in love. With their blond, blue-eyed team mate. All of them, at the same time.

Sasuke had felt awkward with his feelings. But there really wasn't time to hesitate now when rivals began to show up behind every corner.

Sakura's feelings for the blond had grown slowly over the years Sasuke had been gone. She didn't feel awkward at all. It was true and real and felt much better than when she had been swooning over Sasuke for reasons unknown. Now though, her competition had changed from a herd of fellow fangirls to two uberly hot males, and she wondered how it had come to this.

Sai had no trouble at all dealing with his feelings or rivals. Or that's what it seemed like, after all, you couldn't really tell from that smile of his. Out of the two main rivals he had, he was bold enough to say 'I love you' to his object of affection. Naruto had smiled and told him that he liked Sai too and then continued his training as if nothing had happened. Sai was confused about this, so he went to the library to read books.

They stared at each other through squinted eyes.

Sasuke announced that he had been there for Naruto from to begin with. The first one to acknowledge him and actually like him for what he was. So he had all the right to claim the boy for himself. The two of them better back off.

Sakura pointed out that she was there for him when Sasuke betrayed him. Plus she had been Naruto's first crush and he still (playfully) asked her for dates occasionally. And she wondered if the two boys had thought that maybe, just maybe, the boy was actually straight.

Sai smiled and thought out loud that what Naruto felt for the two of them was brotherly love. All sisters and brothers; the former team seven. And that would practically be incest.

Just for that, Sasuke and Sakura decided to gang up on Sai.

Sasuke declared that Naruto must feel strongly for him, after all, he had done everything in his power and in other's power too, to get him back to Konoha. And if that wasn't proof of strong feelings then he wasn't sure what was. Smugly, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and threw his rivals a challenging look.

Sakura smiled sweetly and told them that she was now a whole lot nicer to him and that the boy seemed to be a lot happier whenever he saw her. They worked quite well together and Naruto was protective over her.

Sai shrugged his shoulders and said that he had never hated Naruto just because it was a catchy attitude everyone around him emitted and that he didn't shout how stupid the boy was and hit him whenever he was pissy. He also had never betrayed him by thrusting a chidori to his chest and then ran away with a snake pedophile.

Sasuke and Sakura looked defeated for a second.

Since things really weren't getting anywhere they decided to search the boy and ask him themselves.

"Hey, dobe."

"Hi, Naruto-baka!"

"Yo, dickless."

Naruto turned around and wondered if today was some kind of insult-Naruto-fest. He managed a smile to his teammates and a 'hello'.

His three suitors noticed the hint of sadness on the boy's face, before the all too familiar smile took place again. And for some reason they felt guilty, though they wondered why, after all, they hadn't really done anything. Right? Not yet anyway.

Sasuke smirked deviously.

Sakura snickered evilly.

Sai smiled perversely.

Naruto noticed that something was wrong and took a small cautious step backwards. They didn't notice this as they were too busy glaring at each other after noticing they thought along the same lines.

Too busy glaring; they didn't notice how a stuttering Hinata asked Naruto to join her at Ichiraku, in which Naruto gladly agreed. Taking one last nervous glance at his insane teammates, Naruto left with a blushing Hinata.

The rivals snapped out of their glaring contest when Sai let out an 'ah' and pointed to the direction where Naruto and Hinata just turned around the corner.

"Fuck!"

It was official. This was war.
