A/N So I've been off fanfiction for ages and now that I'm on summer holidays, finally getting back into it. Naruto is still going on strong, and as slim the chance of Sasusaku happening is, I still love writing about them, so here it is. This is a compilation of one-shots, aimed to fluff you up with cheese and cotton candy and all things sweet and lovely; rainbow, lollipops and unicorns. Not that they will be talking about the aforementioned specifically of course, but I do warn you that some of these one-shots could be too cheesy for your taste, so please, please be kind not to simply shout at me; I would much rather prefer constructive criticism! :D

I hope you love this couple as much as I do, and thanks to my absolutely wonderful boyfriend for urging me to write again, as well as providing me with inspiration from all the cheesiest moments we've had so far ;) By the way, Sasuke and Sakura are at different ages with each one-shot.

STANDARD DISCLAIMER APPLIES.


Note: This fic is AU, which may contain some OOC-ness and adult content – you have been warned. Sasuke and Sakura are 15 years old in this chapter.

Chapter One: Toothpaste

The last of the sun was gone, leaving behind a dark carpet of stars, and only the quiet and occasional noise of crickets in the night air could be heard. Sakura folded up her clothes, listening to the conversation that was going on across the room. She shared a room with Yamanaka Ino and Hyuuga Hinata.

"Well why don't you just give it a try Hinata, there's nothing you can lose!"

"B-but I… I don't think N-Naruto is... interested in me?"

Ino folded her arms. "How'd you know he is or isn't? 'Cause I have a feeling Naruto feels the same way, but neither of you are willing to take the first step!"

Hinata looked down, embarrassed. Sakura glanced at Ino, who was looking half impatient, half exasperated. "Give her a break Ino," she said. "You know Hinata doesn't want to ruin the friendship she already has with Naruto, and if they don't work out that would ruin everything…"

Ino sighed. "Sorry Hina… I was only trying to help. But I guess if you don't need it…"

"N-no Ino-san! It's alright, I just n-need to… think a-about it…" Hinata trailed off then suddenly gave Ino a hug. Sakura and Ino both smiled.

"Hey I'm going out to the toilets to brush my teeth, wanna come?" Sakura asked Ino. Ino shook her head.

"Nah I did it right after dinner. By the way the toilets here are totally disgusting." She made a face.

"Ino… this is a school camping trip. Did you expect a five-star hotel?" Sakura joked, grabbing her ziplock bag of toiletries. She closed the door behind her just in time to hear both girls laugh.


As she walked down the dimly lit hallway into the toilets and changing rooms, Sakura began thinking about her own problems. Hinata may be trying to get her feelings across to Naruto, practically the biggest idiot in the world, but Sakura was not much better off.

Uchiha Sasuke.

Just whispering the name electrified her, sent her heartbeat racing as she was reminded of what had happened earlier. Sasuke, just about the most gorgeous, impossibly perfect boy in the world who also happened to be Naruto's best friend, had surprisingly chosen to volunteer to help clear up after dinner alongside her. This meant at least an hour and fifteen minutes of tedious scrubbing with detergent and wiping with towels of all the dishes and cutlery the whole year group of students had used that night. Clearing up was usually based on a roster, and it was Sakura and Naruto's turn tonight. But Naruto had had a bad stomachache from overeating? She wasn't sure. Naruto did eat five helpings of dinner, not to mention two of his own beloved cup noodles. It was no wonder he became so incapacitated he had to forfeit the after-dinner movie.

She clicked the switch; the room flooded with lights. Putting her toiletries bag down, she took out her toothbrush, squeezed some toothpaste and began brushing her teeth.

Suddenly she heard footsteps. Was it Ino?

Then she saw him, standing at the doorway, his hair as messy as it was when he raised his hand earlier, offering to help her clear up when Kakashi-sensei had for a volunteer. His usual deadpan look. Sasuke's hair was still wet, Sakura noticed. She turned away quickly, embarrassed. She did not want Sasuke to be seeing her as she was, with bubbly white toothpaste foam all around the edges of her mouth as she brushed.

She wanted to ask, Why are you here? This is the girl's toilets…

But she couldn't, for fear that she would spit out toothpaste by accident if she spoke, and the thought of speaking with her mouth full of bubbly foam to her crush did not sit well with her. So she said nothing, trying to seem casual as she brushed, rapidly now, no longer in detailed circles nor an organized fashion, but haphazardly, jumping from one side of the mouth to another. Sakura did not notice herself doing this; she could hear her heart thudding against her. Sasuke calmly (seemingly) took out his toothbrush and toothpaste and also began brushing his teeth.

They brushed together in silence. Somehow they became almost instantaneously in sync; synchronized in rhythm, up and down, left and right. Sakura fought to keep her eyes on her teeth, on her own reflection in the mirror. All of a sudden, from the corner of her eye Sakura realized Sasuke had stopped brushing; she could feel the heat of his gaze on her, even though he was standing a good distance from her, even thought he was keeping his personal space as he did with anyone.

Sakura slowly turned towards him. She stopped brushing too.

Then, her eyes caught his, and she was caught, heart and soul and body, falling even deeper now that he was within breathing distance; he had taken a step towards her. Rooted on the spot, she was immersed into those beautiful, deep, dark eyes, her heart was racing faster than ever –

He took another step closer, now he was so close she could see it, something she could not ever have seen unless they were as close as they were now: a tiny, tiny fleck of deep blue on his otherwise ash-black eyes.

Before she could examine any further, he had closed them.

Then –

Something pressed on her lips which were full of bubbly toothpaste foam, something equally as bubbly, foamy and wet. Then it was gone as quickly as it had come. Sasuke was rinsing his mouth in rapid haste. The tips of his ears red, he quickly gathered up his things and left.

Sakura was still standing, eyes widened, frozen. Her lips tingled with her own toothpaste foam and Sasuke's.


Does a kiss sealed with toothpaste still count…?
