First Kiss: A SasuSaku OneShot

RYUSSEI

"I don't care," Sasuke said, expressionless. "I don't want to talk about anything involving that dumbass." For the first time in a while, it was just Sasuke and Sakura. Before, Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke were all training in the fields, working hard before the Chuunin exams. Iruka then came by and asked Naruto out for ramen. He, of course, agreed to go, leaving Sasuke and Sakura in the fields. The two of them chose a calm spot in the shade to take a break, where they argued over Naruto and his love for ramen.

"Yes, you do." Sakura argued. Sakura pretended to look angry, but inside her heart was fluttering to be alone with Sasuke.

"How would you know? You don't even know me." He said this as cold as possible; just to make leave him alone. Sakura took this as a challenge.

"Yes, I know you. Much more than you think."

"Oh I am sure you do." His sarcasm didn't faze her.

"I know that your name is Sasuke Uchiha."

"Oh wow, what a surprise. Even I didn't know that." He scoffed. Sakura sighed in impatience and put a loose strand of pink hair behind her ear.

"I'm not done yet," Sakura said. Sasuke responded by folding his arms over his chest. "And that you are part of Team 7, with Kakashi-sensei, Naruto…"

"That idiot? He has no clue about anything. Might as well not be part of our team." Sasuke rudely cut in. Sakura hit him in the shoulder.

"I told you I wasn't done yet!" Sasuke smirked like the boy he was. As weird as that sounded, it was true. Sasuke always spent his time acting as an adult, he never actually acted just like a boy. Sakura smiled warmly. She liked seeing Sasuke like this. Even if he was interrupting. "Anyways," Sakura leaned back against the tree. "With Kakashi-sensei, Naruto and me." She paused, waiting for Sasuke to make some obscene comment. He made none. "And that you are a top student who passed the Academy with flying colors. You are a boy; a very kind-hearted boy with good intentions…" Sakura noticed Sasuke stiffen.

"Kind-hearted?" His voice was edgy. "You think me a kind hearted boy with good intentions."

"Yes."

"I won't allow you to think that."

"Why not?" Sakura said defiantly. She sat up straighter. "Is there something wrong with that?"

"Yes," Sasuke paused. He has always avoided this subject, even with Naruto. There was no way out.

"And? What is wrong with me thinking that?" Sakura sounded impatient. Sasuke stared at her. He couldn't possibly answer her question. It was too much. The Chuunin exams were coming soon, that alone was enough stress. Sasuke refused to explain the reason why. Later. Later, I will tell her. Not now. "So, Sasuke? Are you going to answer my question?" Sakura was on the verge of pouting. He looked at her lips, and the way her cheeks were slightly flushed from arguing and the summer heat. Wait, maybe there is a way out.

And that was when he kissed Sakura for the first time. He could tell Sakura was surprised, but she didn't resist. In fact, she wrapped her arms around him. It felt awkward to Sasuke; such proximity. He couldn't deny, though, he felt strangely good while holding Sakura. Incredibly unmanly, but good. After a while, he withdrew from the embrace. Sasuke tried his best to look expressionless, whereas Sakura was blushing a lot more than she usually did when Sasuke was around.

Sakura suddenly stood up, still pink in the cheeks. "Sasuke-kun… I guess I must go now." She ran off, and Sasuke watched her. Sakura was probably running off to Ino's, ready to tell her what she just experienced. Sasuke blinked, and looked up. The branches swayed gently in the breeze, shading him nicely from the sun. Sasuke just had his first kiss, and he was sure Sakura did too. Someday, I'll answer her question. Someday.

Too bad someday came a little too late.
