I own nothing and no one. If I did, SakuDem would be cannon and my beloved Zemmy would be writing this.
I'm Sakura Haruno, your average fifteen year old girl. I have a mom, a dad, a nice home, and two best friends I wouldn't replace for the whole world. The problem is I was in love with one of them. Sasuke Uchiha, my first best friend who is basically 'a ball of angst' as Naruto Uzumaki, my second best friend, puts it. He's kind of an idiot but he's loyal to a friend very much unlike Sasuke. Sasuke is a genius but has commitment issues, to put it mildly.
The three of us have been friends since we were little kids. Preschool all the way through high school we've always been in the same class (or classes when we got older) and were paired up in one way or another. It was weird in a way. I never liked Naruto, Naruto liked me, I liked Sasuke, Sasuke hated both of us, and yet we were always together. Somehow we always made it work in our own dysfunctional way and because of that, teachers were reluctant to separate us.
I thought I was in heaven because I was always with Sasuke (even if I got stuck with Naruto too) but the older I got the more I started to realize something; Sasuke could never return my feelings. At first I was in complete denial about it. If I stuck around long enough, he'd have to like me, right? Wrong. Sasuke would forever only love himself. I guess with him being an orphan, it kind of makes sense: he's afraid to love anyone else. As much as I love him though, I can't wait forever for him to feel the same way about me.
The day I realized this was two days before my sixteenth birthday. Needless to say I was kind of a wreck. I spent the whole day in my room crying about it. Not even Naruto could cheer me up by pissing me off. Not that it stopped me from tossing him out the window when he tried to sneak in. Old habits kind of die hard. But then he did something that I still to this day am not sure I should forgive him for or should be thankful for; he sent me the weirdest online survey about my ideal guy as a joke.
So I filled it out not thinking anything of it. Choosing to make this 'ideal' guy the exact opposite of Sasuke was actually the one thing that managed to cheer me up. I made him have big puppy dog eyes with an overly affectionate personality to the point he always wanted to hug or cuddle and on a whim I made him a water loving musician. Keep in mind that I was depressed and Naruto was encouraging me to make him as weird as possible! Once I was done it asked for my address and I wrote it in thinking nothing of it at the time.
That was until a huge box came at my door the next day.
