His Someone Special

A/N: As expected, this story isn't terribly popular :P but I really love writing and planning it out (during classes no less...) So I hope the few followers I have, do enjoy what I have to offer:) Also, this chapter's a little short but I wanted to end it off at the appropriate scene. The subsequent chapters will probably be longer like the first. Please enjoy and review with your constructive criticism.

I sighed and filled Sakura's teacup, repeating the same words I've been saying to her for well over a year now. "No, Sakura, I'm not dating anyone, I'm not interested in anyone and I have never, nor will I ever have a one night stand. And I promise you, that when I do find someone I like, you will be the first person I'll confide in. Etcetera, etcetera..."

"What about me!?"

"Yes, you too, dobe."

"If you say so Sasuke-kun... But, I don't know... We're just concerned for you, that's all! It's not healthy for you to be so... alone like this."

"I know Sakura, but I'm used to it."

"That still doesn't make it healthy! Think about everything you're missing out on."

"Yeah Sasuke! Pussy is so much more satisfying than your hand!"

"NARUTOOOO!"

"Usuratonkachi..."

"What? It's true!" whimpered the blonde, massaging the part of his head that Sakura had so expertly pounded. "Could you have lived your whole life without the 'D'?"

I covered my eyes as Sakura cracked her knuckles before another resounding smack echoed throughout the room, spilling the alcohol and tea out of their respective glasses.

I let those two fight for a little while longer, holding back a smirk at their antics. I used the break in our conversation to go fetch another sake bottle and a cleaning rag from the kitchen.

Then I heard Naruto whisper, "Maybe Sasuke hasn't been with anybody, because he can't get it up!" followed by a shrill, "EEEHHH?" and the sound of Naruto yelping loudly. But this time I was prepared, I gripped the alcohol and the teakettle tight as my calendar shook out of place.

"SAKURA-CHAN, IF YOU PUNCH MY BALLS THAT HARD, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO HAVE ANY MORE CHILDREN!"

"...Fine. Then I'll punch your gut instead!"

I just had to laugh. Man, those two were literally made for each other.

That poor Hyuuga girl didn't stand a chance.

Retrieving some ice I was sure Naruto needed, I walked back into the living room where Naruto was nuzzling Sakura's neck to get her to speak to him again. I covered my mouth with my hand to make sure nobody would see my small smirk. No wonder Kakashi was always giggling at us when we were genin. If we were half this bad as kids, it's a wonder he hadn't chocked himself to death from laughing.

Finally, Sakura cleared her throat and broke the silence. "Anyway Sasuke-kun," she said with her serious doctor voice, "In all seriousness, you really need to find someone." Naruto nodded in agreement, perking up a bit as Sakura finally turned into his insistent nuzzling.

I felt the words form automatically in my mind; a million and one excuses as to why I hadn't found anyone yet...

But for some reason today, they all seemed hollow, unconvincing, and unbelievable...

(Even more than usual.)

I sighed and looked up.

Sakura was busy sipping on her tea, her eyebrows pulled close together as she glared at me worriedly from behind the cup's rim but she wasn't who interested me; it was Naruto. More specifically, it was the look in Naruto's blue eyes. Filled with love, excitement, hope, lust and pure adoration, it moved gently over her hair, her face, her rounded stomach in a silent, touch-less gesture that was more intimate than anything I'd ever seen.

I didn't even notice I was smiling.

Shaking myself out of reverie, I said nothing as I wiped the table top and re-filled all of the cups. All of my articulate, witty sentences had flown out of my mind and even if they hadn't, I couldn't trust my voice to speak at the moment. Sakura's emerald eyes roved over my face in obvious concern as she awaited my response. I would have normally said something by now.

"Alright," I mumbled finally, raking a hand through my hair. "It wouldn't kill me to try, I guess."

Both of their faces broke out into radiant smiles and I was tempted to shield my eyes from the brilliance. I settled for blinking a couple times instead. When I opened them, however, I realized that was a bad idea. Sakura and Naruto had moved around the table to come assault me (alright, fine it was a 'hug') and I was subjected to their blinding teeth up in close range.

"Finally, Sasuke-kun! I'm so proud of you!"

"ALRIGHT SASUKE! I CAN'T WAIT TO TEASE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!"

And the night drew on in its usual, endearingly obnoxious fashion.
