"Alright, Naruto. I can tell you want to tell me something. Just say it already!" Naruto snapped back to attention. "W-what? What are you talking about, Sakura? I just wanted to hang out, that's all." Sakura raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing him. He threw up his hands. "Alright, alright. But you have to promise not to tell. I mean it, Sakura. Pinky promise." Sakura wanted to laugh. She knew what he was going to say. She's probably known it for longer than he has. "I promise," she said, hooking his pinky in hers.
"Okay. I… I think I might have a crush on someone." They sat in silence, Sakura waiting for Naruto to continue. He just sat there. "Oh, come on. Out with it. Who is it?" Sakura was giggling inside. The comedy of this situation was not lost on her. He muttered. "What was that?" Naruto replied hastily, "Oh, come on! I know you heard me."
And indeed she had. But she wasn't going to tell him that. "I didn't! You said it so softly." Naruto kicked at the dirt with his shoe. "Oh, fine. I said… I said it's Sasuke-teme." Sakura couldn't hold it in any longer. She let out a squeal and began to giggle hysterically. Naruto glared at her, not at all happy with the reaction. "Keep it down, you're going to draw attention to us!" Naruto said, ducking down.
"Oh, please. And besides, I already knew. I've known that for ages. It's so obvious!" Sakura smiled. "What? How could you have known 'for ages'? I've only just figured it out!" "Women's intuition." Naruto stuck out his tongue. "So can you help me? I can't figure out what to do. I know I can't tell him, but it's hard pretending to 'just be friends.'" Sakura grinned mischievously. "I have an idea…"
"So, Sakura. What is it you want this time? Another one of your silly games?" Sakura couldn't keep the grin to herself. "Why, yes, Sasuke. In fact, it is. But I need your help for this one." "Does this have anything to do with Naruto?" She nodded, adding, "And I think you'll like it." Now it was Sasuke's turn to grin. "I'm in."
A/N: Bits of this entire story are lines from The White Tie Affair's song "Take It Home." Give it a listen, it's great. 'Twas my inspiration :D
Constructive criticism welcome :D
Disclaimer: I don't own the song. I don't own Naruto.
