Its midnight and the rokudaime has just arrived from work. He is now preparing for bed when he heard a knock. He is again expecting another urgent report from his men but was surprised for he knows this chakra. He knows it very well. He open the door and saw a tired but still beautiful doctor, Sakura.
"Good day, Hokage-sama, hope i did'nt disturb your sleep"
"No, sakura-chan, i just started preparing for bed"
He noticed a tired smile from her.
"Having a rough night?"
"Yeah, amm Naruto, i mean, Hokage-sama"
"I already told you many times, you can just call me by my name anytime"
"Fine…thank you….amm can i stay here tonight?"
Naruto is a bit surprised by her question but he chose to listen to her.
"Well, im really tired from work, its midnight and your house is near to the hospital, so i thought that maybe i can spend my night here and don't worry i'll be gone tomorrow morning."
Naruto just smiled, still mesmerize by her beauty.
"Of course Sakura-chan, you can stay here anytime you want. After all i leave here alone, and most of the time i'm not here and i have a guest room so you can use it."
He then lead here to come in. Naruto thought if he is really ok with this, after all he is still avoiding her. But he saw her tired eyes and thought 'everything will be just fine'.
After closing the door, Naruto ask her if she want some tea or coffee, but Sakura choose to go to bed immediately, after all she is really tired. He showed her the guest room. It was already prepared by the house keeper in case the hokage will have his guest. He never thought Sakura will be his first guest and it's in the middle of the night. Sakura ask for some change clothes and Naruto offered one of his t-shirt and shorts. Then they said their good nights to each other.

Naruto woke up in the smell of eggs and bacons being fried. He felt his hunger and even if he still sleepy, he knows he has to report early in his office. He go to the kitchen and saw a pink-haired woman, wearing his t-shirt, cooking. He then conclude that this is again one his dream, seeing Sakura early in the morning cooking breakfast for him.
"Good morning Naruto, just wait its almost ready"
"Good morning Sakura-chan" he answered. He just looked at her, taking his time, for he knows anytime soon, he will wake up and know that its just another good dream. He saw a coffee being prepared and took a sip.
".. awww aww aww…HOT!"
"Of course its hot! Its not a juice Naruto"
Naruto then realized and surprised, he is not dreaming. Sakura is really in his house, early in the morning, cooking breakfast for him.
"Sakura-chan, what are you doing here?"
"What? Why are you so surprised? Just now, you just greet me a while ago?"
"Because i thought its just another dream"
"Another?"
"Ahhh.. don't get me wrong Sakura-chan"
"Anyway, have you forgot i spend my night here, you offered me your guest room."
"Yeah, you're right.… I forgot."
"You must be really sleepy last night." She continued her cooking.
"Ammm…you don't have to do this Sakura-chan"
"What? Cooking for you." While serving Naruto. "Naruto, i'm quite confident on my cooking so you dont have to worry about the taste"
"No.. that's not what i mean."
"What? you dont want to see me early in the morning."
"Eh?"
"You thought i did'nt notice it Naruto, you are avoiding me and Sasuke ever since he came back. I think this is the longest conversation we have ever since."
"I'm sorry" he just apologized. He doesn't want to explain.
"I dont know what you are really thinking right now but as i promise last night i'll be gone this morning"
"Its not really what i mean. I just thought you must be really tired last night so maybe you still need to rest. I actually don't know your schedule. It must be realy tiring. You can still use the room if you want. Just don't exhaust yourself." He tried to explain.
Sakura smiled. "Really? Thank for being thoughtful Naruto I thought you've changed. I accept your offer."
Naruto is glad but as well as worried. The reason he is avoiding Sakura its because he wants to move on. He know that Sakura is for Sasuke. He maybe out of Konoha right now but he know Sasuke will come back to settle and restore his family with Sakura. He thought that if he will avoid both of them it will be easy to forget his feelings for Sakura. Its true, its the longest conversation they had, and he realized, his feeling towards her didn't changed a bit.
