The Start Of Something New?
*Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of these characters but my Oc's*
The next morning Kakuzu woke up in the foulest of moods. His car had gotten damaged due to yesterday's events and he had paid to get it fixed specifically for today, which cost him extra.
He made a mental note to make Hidan's life hell from this day forth. Too bad he was already having a horrible morning to begin with. Kakuzu accidentally slept in and was extremely late for work which started at 8:00am and right now it was 10:00 in the morning.
Kakuzu rushed into his vehicle with his briefcase in his hand and took off down the street. He never thought such bad luck could possibly occur in one morning. He woke up two hours late, skipped breakfast, the water went so he had to carrying buckets of it from his storage tank to bathe, he forgot to iron his clothes and didn't get the time to properly groom himself.
He let out a long sigh as he pulled into a long line of traffic. He just wasn't winning this round. He impatiently tapped his fingers on the steering wheel as the vehicles barely moved an inch.
Then with a quick growl Kakuzu pulled out of the lane, going into a side street that took him back to his house. He parked the car in his garage, leaving his briefcase inside and went in.
He quickly went into his living room and sat at the computer faxing Fugaku a letter detailing his absence at work for today, humbly apologizing then went to the kitchen to make him a little something to eat.
Kakuzu went over to the fridge and looked at its contents. Water.. Whole Wheat Muffins ..Lettuce…Orange Juice ..Apples. Kakuzu mentally sighed , he really needed to go grocery shopping but there was way too much traffic outside. So he grabbed a plate of two muffins, an apple and a tall glass of orange juice and plopped himself on the couch watching the local news.
Apparently there were several road blocks due to new constructions and repairs to old roads going on and they apologized for the short notice. At least Fugaku won't be too angry at me now, Kakuzu thought finishing his plate.
He went to the sink and washed up his dishes, putting them to dry in the drainer and cleaned up his counters. He looked around his house for anything that needed tidying up. He lived in a two story house with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, a large kitchen, a man cave, an attic, a basement, a garage and a front porch. About 10 minutes later Kakuzu couldn't find a single thing to do.
He let out a deep sigh. Being a bachelor had its ups and downs. Although you can do whatever you want, whenever you wanted to, it was pretty lonely at times. His work was the only thing that kept him fully occupied and he enjoyed doing it.
He went upstairs to his bedroom and changed his clothes into a plain round neck white shirt from his draw and wore that with his boxers. Kakuzu flopped himself on the bed letting his thoughts consume him.
I haven't been on a date in two years… He thought back to previous relationships. They never did last too long.
Kakuzu shifted on his left side of his body. He remembered all the crazy things that happened with his ex's over the past 5 years.
Age 30 .Girlfriend #1 Age: 35 Acted more like my boss than a lover. Argued a lot, she couldn't make me feel loved and she tried to control me. Dumped her and she childishly tried to attack him both physically and via social media.
Age 30 .Girlfriend #2 Age: 33 A nice lady, had two children…they were brats though and their father's jealousy caused more than enough problems in the relationship. That ended older women for him.
Age 31 .Girlfriend #3 Age: 31 Was more of a sex buddy than a girlfriend. Stayed together for a year, realized that we didn't love each other so they ended it. She was a freak in bed though…
Age 32 Girlfriend #4 Age: 32 Stole money from me and I put her ass in jail. Stupid Bitch..
Age 32 .Girlfriend # 5 Age: 30 Cheated on him and he set her car on fire….the restraining order was worth it.
Age 33 .Girlfriend #6 Age: 27 Materialistic bitch… way too high maintenance …she was good in bed though…
He rolled over onto his back again, eyes tempting to close shut. Maybe I should give it another shot… With that Kakuzu drifted off into deep slumber.
Four hours later….
Kakuzu woke up with his stomach boiling in hunger. He groaned and ran his fingers through long hair yawning in the process. He walked over to his dresser and pulled out a plain black jean and put it on. He didn't bother checking his appearance as he walked past the mirror and grabbed his wallet and car keys.
He walked downstairs, tossed on a black n white sneaker then went out the door. He pulled out of the garage and sped down the street. The traffic jam had cleared up quite nicely, this lit Kakuzu's happiness up a notch. He decided on getting some ramen instead fast food this time and drove to Ichiraku 's ramen shop.
He pulled up at the side of a street and parked his car, making sure that
it was locked then with his keys and wallet in hand, walked through the doors of the shop. Old man Teuchi and his daughter greeted him behind the counter. He ordered a miso ramen with bamboo shoots and sat at the far end corner of the shop near a window waiting. The old man announced he was making a quick run to the grocery and he would be back soon.
A few minutes later he collected his order and sat down eating. While enjoying his food, he looked out the window and saw a peaceful looking park with children playing on the monkey bars and swing sets as their parents watched them. He continued like this until he finished his meal.
When Kakuzu was finally done he brought the empty bowl back to the counter and paid. He took this time to get a bottle of water and pulled out some extra money. The man's daughter placed her hand on his, getting his attention, "It's on the house," she sweetly said to him, giving him a cute smile.
Kakuzu wasn't one to argue when it came to free items so he placed his money back in his wallet. He felt a hand travel up his arm, "Would you like a sweet treat with that," she purred at him pushing her breasts up on the counter.
Kakuzu mentally debated his choice. "Depends is it 'on the house' as well?" he questioned.
"Of course…I aim to please the customers," she said giving him a wink. Does she always do this when her father isn't around?
Although his hormones told him to fuck her, his mind was elsewhere. He bluntly told the woman no and walked out of the shop before she could respond. However, he did run into the old man on his way out.
"Hey there, did you enjoy your meal?" the man politely asked.
"I sure did, your daughter is quite the whore," Kakuzu walked off saying, leaving old man Teuchi in utter dismay.
"AYAME!"
He decided to relax for a few minutes then he'd go to work and take record of the assets that came in yesterday so he would have less work to do tomorrow.
He walked over to the park and sat on an empty bench watching the children play. Though he found most children to be spoiled and bratty, he loved seeing them enjoying themselves in play since he wasn't able to do this as a child. The children ran and climbed the monkey bars with all their might, some were even innocently playing in the sand and mud having the time of their lives.
All except one. There was a little curly haired, blonde boy with sea- green eyes on the swing set, coldly looking at the grass. He looked no older than five, he wore a violet plain t-shirt and black pants and a violet converse.
For several minutes the boy remained in that same position and Kakuzu looked at him with concern. This seemed to reminded him of his past.
He remembered longing to play by himself because no-one would accept him. The other children would whisper and make jokes about him behind his back and pretend to be his friend because he would do their homework and use him for his material items. That tore him apart and filled him with rage and he distanced himself from everyone that wasn't family….ok maybe he left the family behind too but they were annoying, it was justifiable as he got older. He barely spoke to others and when he did it was pure sarcasm. All his smiles turned into cold glares and seriousness, a hot temper developing for the lack of tolerance.
Without a second thought, Kakuzu walked over to the boy and sat in the swing next to him.
Sea-green met acid green for the first time.
If only glare's could kill…
Sea green eyes stared into acid green...
The kid seemed to stare at Kakuzu for a good five minutes, opening and closing his mouth slightly as if pondering what words to say. Kakuzu himself wasn't exactly the best when it came to dealing with children...he usually avoided them whenever he could...Maybe I should say something? Sigh...
"Uh...Hi Kid", he managed to awkwardly say after gathering some thoughts together. The blonde boy continued to stare at him.
"Are you ok?" Kakuzu asked him again. He continued to stare at Kakuzu with curious eyes as if calculating his choice of words to the tall dark tanned man.
"What is your name?" Kakuzu tried asking again, this time in attempt to sound friendlier in order to make the kid talk instead of just staring at him like a fool. He continued to stare at him for a few more seconds before parting his lips slowly. Come on spit it out kid, time is money...
"Jasper", he said in a soft voice. About damn time...
"I'm Kakuzu," he said, "Do you always sit here by yourself?" said Kakuzu, trying to encourage him to talk.
Jasper looked at Kakuzu for a few seconds before opening up his mouth to respond, " Sometimes...," he started to speak, "I don't have a lot of friends," he said.
"Why?" Kakuzu asked appearing concerned.
"I don't like people" Jasper said, eyes glinting with boredom.
Kakuzu smirked a bit, "Heh, I don't like people either kid."
"Then why are speaking to me? I don't like you" Jasper suddenly sneered, narrowing his eyes. This little brat...
Kakuzu narrowed my eyes in the most menacing way, "Listen here you little bra- -,"
WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!
What the hell... Kakuzu turned his head away from the kid to see a huge white dog running towards them excitedly.
"Akamaru!," the boy shouts while hopping off the swing, engulfing the huge dog into a hug while it barked happily and licked his face. Disgusting...
"Hey Akamaru you found him!" exclaimed a masculine voice drawing closer.
Kakuzu looked up to see a short brown haired male with red inverted triangle tattoos on his face in an opened black hoodie which had fur around the hood area, a white round neck shirt, black jeans and timberlands on his feet. Fang boy...
He stood a fair distance away from the swing set and squatted opening his arms to welcome the kid who rushed into his arms. "Kiba!" he said excitedly, while engulfing fang boy into a deep hug who then ruffled the kid's hair.
"Sup Jasp?" Kiba asked while grinning.
"What are you doing here?" the kid asked him happily.
" What, you aren't happy to see me? Ouch," Kiba said, feigning hurt as he placed his hand over his heart. Kakuzu could no longer see the kid's face but he could tell that Jasper was flustered as he started stuttering incoherently making the fang boy grin again.
Kiba ruffled the kid's hair again, "Your sister asked me to pick you up today," he informed.
Jasper's head lowered significantly to look at the grass, "Does that mean that she won't be taking me to the arcade today like she promised?" he asked with sadness in his voice.
Kiba used his hand to lift his chin up to face him. "Hey," he started to say, " Of course she's is, she'll just be a little late," he said ruffling his hair again.
"How about we go get some ice cream then we'll go pick up your sister and we'll all go to the arcade together?" Kiba offered and Kakuzu could see the corner of the kids mouth lift up, "That sounds great!" he exclaimed wrapping his arms around fang boy's waist causing him to grin once again while the huge dog barked in which seemed to be in approval while wagging his tail a few times. They allow dogs at arcades now?...
Kiba ruffled Jasper's hair again as he clutched onto his midsection. He loved the cute kid.. Looking up from him, he saw a familiar looking man sitting on the swing set next to where Akamaru was sitting looking at them curiously. Was he talking to Jasper earlier? He wore a simple round neck white shirt, black jeans and sneakers to match. Long dark hair...acid green eyes...stitched tattoos...
He's definitely seen this man around somewhere before…., "Hey," Kiba said, getting Kakuzu's attention as his acid eyes fixed themselves onto him.
"You look familiar...have we met before?" Kiba casually asked watching as Kakuzu looked at him for a few a seconds as if he was contemplating his words, but Kiba waited for an answer, there was a feeling about this guy he couldn't quite put his finger on.
Jasper hearing this, shifted in Kiba's arms and turned around to look at the man curiously while resting his hand right hand on his shirt.
"Perhaps, popular city, " Kakuzu simple replied while getting up from the swing appearing to leave but gave Kiba a sudden stern look. Yup, something about this man was unsettling...but Kiba let it be, chances are he'd probably never see him again.
"True," Kiba responded, standing up as well and taking Jasper's hand into his.
"C'mon buddy, let's go get that ice cream," Kiba cheered and smiled down at him. Jasper turned around to look at him and his face lit up with excitement. "Yeah!" he chirped out grinning. Akamaru walked up to them and they all turned around walking out the park.
Kakuzu's POV
I stood there watching the three figures leave. I wasn't exactly too sure why, but I shrugged it off and headed to my car. Taking out my keys, I unlocked my car and sat in it for awhile. My mind felt far today...maybe its because I'm bored as hell. I usually have my work to keep me occupied, it stresses me out but still it occupies my time. I glanced at my watch, 3:00 PM.
Not bad...I could still check in at work... the traffic would have died down by now and I'd be able to get an early start on tomorrow's tasks and make up for today's tasks as well. I could also go to supermarket later on for groceries... remembering my practically empty fridge this morning. Yup, that's my plan for the rest of the day.
I quickly started the engine and took off in the direction of the Uchiha Corp. Like I predicted the traffic had died down and it was a fairly smooth drive ten minute drive. I pulled into the car park and made sure to double checked that I locked it properly before entering the building and signing in at the front desk with Zetsu. Making my way to the elevator, I pushed the buttons to his destination and waited patiently as it took him up to the desired floor. Upon arrival to the third floor , he walked he casually to his office, closed the door and proceeded to catch up on my duties.
Time Skip - 5:00PM
I glanced at my watch as I just finished entering 3 months worth of records onto the new computerized systems Fugaku had installed recently. Luckily he only wants the last two working years on the system and the previous years can stay in their old files. I already finished one year but I still have 9 months worth of old records to still add on.
I made sure to save everything and shut the computer down to tidy my desk. I started to place the the old records that I was already finished with back into their original storage in the cabinet. It took me five minutes total to put everything back where they were supposed to be. I took one last look at my office then I turned off the lights and headed out the door.
" Kakuzu" I heard my name called, and I turned around to see Itachi standing holding a bottle of water, in his usual business attire of a black jacket, white dress shirt, a red tie and black pants and black dress shoes.
"I heard about your morning troubles, I'm surprised that you're here," he said with his stoic face.
" I decided to get in some last minute work to make tomorrow's load easier," I replied and he nodded.
"Come with me, the new secretary started today, I want her to be familiar with our faces," Itachi said leading the way, I didn't respond but I followed as he directed.
Lower down the hallway we stopped at the office opposite the human resources department, Itachi gave the door a brief knock before opening it to reveal a slender blonde woman with jade green eyes. She looked closer to my age, maybe 29 for the least, very pretty. She wore a fitted simple black dress that went to knee level and a red jacket with red pumps on her feet. She smiled upon seeing us both.
" Kakuzu this is Jade, Jade this is our head accountant Kakuzu," Itachi introduced. Fitting name...
She smiled and held out a hand to shake and I did the same, Firm grasp...my mind started to stray but I quickly diminished those thoughts. "Nice to meet you Kakuzu, I hope we can be cordial as we work side by side in the future," she said giving me a small smile.
"Same here," I said plainly. "It is 5:00 P.M, the building is closing in ten minutes I shall see you both tomorrow," Itachi said leaving us alone in the room. I looked at Jade and she was grabbing her briefcase and purse as she was checking her phone. I took this as my cue to leave until she said my name.
"Kakuzu, would you mind escorting me outside? This building is quite the maze," she said giving me that same small smile.
"Sure," I said standing outside of the office as she quickly turned off the lights and closed the door. We began walking down the hall together and used the elevator. We engaged in casual conversation trying to get a mutual feel of each other along the way. She seemed decent.
Upon arrival to the lobby of the building, I saw a curly red head female signing out of the roll list with Konan. She's no red head I recall seeing work here before... I was tempted to call out to her but Jade's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.
" Oh Blossom honey!" Jade called out walking up to her, "Would you like a lift home?" She asked her. Wait...Blossom?
The mysterious red head turned around and those beautiful sea green eyes grasped my full attention. She works here now? I started thinking, I didn't get a memo of anyone else besides the new secretary would be joining us today.
She looked rather beautiful and modest in a fitted white dress with pink floral petals that went down to her knees, with a pink cardigan on top and white pumps on her feet. She wore her curly red hair up in a loose bun that complimented her natural curl pattern and wore natural looking makeup that consisted of a light neutral eye shadow a pink lip gloss. At least to my knowledge of makeup...
"No thank you Aunt Jade, a friend is here to pick me up, " she answered smiling slightly. Wait...AUNT JADE...THEIR RELATED?!
I kept my face neutral while my thoughts rampaged, but I definitely felt my heart beat faster when Blossom looked at me and smiled.
"Hey Kakuzu," she said, "Nice to see you again, how are you?" she asked. I made myself snap out of it and signed out of the roll list while responding to her, " Nice to see you as well, I'm good and yourself?" I replied.
She smiled again, "Nice, I'm good as well thank you," she replied. You definitely look good as well...
At this time Jade had already walked out of the building talking with Konan and Blossom had pushed open the door to exit. I stepped behind her, sure to keep our bodies a decent distant away and held the door for her to go through. She looked back at me and thanked me before walking through and I followed behind her.
"So," I said getting her attention as she was she searching the car park with her eyes, " Did you start working here today?" I asked.
"Yes, I did, Miss Konan took me on as an intern for the human resource department, " she answered smiling sweetly. Oh I see... that department is rather short staffed.
"Very well, then I will be seeing you more in the future I suppose," I said. I started walking out to the car park and gestured for her to follow me; she nodded and bid a goodbye to her aunt and Konan before walking beside me.
"How long is your internship?" I asked her as we started walking," Five months," she replied. Decent contract...I'll have to add her to the payroll list tomorrow...
"Oh, How did you like your first day?" I asked trying to engage in small talk as we slowly walked together.
"It was nice actually, lots of new faces and personalities, your friend is pretty rough around the edges but I think I can deal," she replied.
Ugh Hidan... "I see, Hidan will definitely take some time to get used to... if you can handle him then you can survive anything this company throws at you," I tried to reassure her knowing how difficult it is to get on good terms with the platinum psychopath.
She nodded and gave me a smile. "So do you-" "Hey Blossom! Over here!" a masculine voice interrupted me as we both turned in its direction.
Well I'll be damned. There stood fang boy and the kid from the park earlier with same eyes as her. Her face lit up and she rushed over to the duo which was standing along the side of a matte black Mitsubishi L200 Van parked opposite of my car. "Kiba!" she exclaimed giving him a hug and he kissed her forehead "Thank you so much for picking us up today, I owe you one" she said releasing him.
"It was no problem," he said with one hand up behind his head and she smiled. Are they really a couple? Then she bent down to hug that kid, which I'm assuming is her little brother thinking back to the park occurrence.
He squirmed in her hug, "C'mon sis, we gotta go to the arcade!" He exclaimed excitedly. She patted his head, "Yes, yes, I know, we'll get there soon" she said kissing his forehead which lead to him making a face and used a rag to wipe it off. I smirked on seeing that.
I didn't realize that I was staring at them until I heard fang boy address me. "Oh its you again, from the park earlier" he looked at me plainly. Great...here we go...
I nodded and Blossom looked between the both of us before reintroducing us. "Ah! I knew I saw your face before," he said. I nodded while he grinned about something relating to running into future co workers at fast food restaurants to Blossom while she giggled.
Sigh...I wanted to talk to her some more... Looking at them converse with one another, it was obvious that fang boy wasn't going to give me that opportunity. Mentally sighing again, I made a move towards my car, chirped the keys and got in.
Before I could close the door however, Blossom called out to me, "See you tomorrow Kakuzu!" giving me a small wave as i watched the trio get into the vehicle. Fang boy glanced at me briefly before pulling out of the parking lot until they were out of site. I shrugged closing the door and headed to the grocery like I originally planned.
Kiba's POV
After driving out of the parking lot, I couldn't help but feel slightly concerned about Blossom working with that guy. Just a feeling... I let my thoughts fade away and brought my focus back to road, I was exactly five minutes away from the arcade center. Blossom and Jasper were bumping their heads and singing along to that Madagascar song happily. I grinned, joining along with them and their childishness as she smiled at me.
In no time, I pulled into the arcade center's parking lot and easily found a spot. I parked and quickly shut off the engine to run out and open Blossom's door for her like I always do. She smiled as I held her hand assisting her out of the vehicle and shut her door and opened Jasper's and braced for impact as he jumped onto me. I held him in one hand and closed the door with the other before setting him down and watched him run into the arcade yelling for us to hurry up. Blossom and I smiled at each other ad casually walked in. She went up the teller and got Jasper a bag of tokens which he excitedly took and ran off to play.
I looked out for some empty seats and lead Blossom there by hand and pulled out her chair. After she sat down I sat down across from her so that we'd be facing each other directly and started chatting. Blossom looked really breathtaking today, her clothes complimented her body beautifully. She blushed when I told her this…. so damn cute...
We've been best friends for years... eight years to be exact almost nine. I met her back when I was eleven years old at Sakura's birthday party. Blossom had just moved to Konoha from Suna and transferred to our school. She was pretty shy, almost as shy as Hinata back then and only clung to Sakura's side until she warmed up to everyone.
It didn't take us long to become good friends, she loved dogs therefore she would always be petting Akamaru who used to ride on top of my head back when I was younger. We have a lot in common but a the same time we're so different, she's nice, I'm rowdy, she's silly and I'm mean but we compliment each other so well.
Our relationship is pretty similar to a friends with benefits, we aren't a couple but we sort of act like one or at least that's what we're always told. We tell each other everything.. and I mean EVERYTHING that isn't strictly girl or guy code. If she's on her period I'll always know and sometimes I'm the one going out to buy her tampons or pads and even food, she really loves pizza.
Blossom knows how lazy and messy I am, she tends to be the one help me while I complain about doing chores and other responsibilities. She cooks for me a lot too...damn this girl can throw. down . in. the. kitchen. No exaggeration she was the reason why I started saving a lot of money on fast food for the past few years, she just loved to cook and bake too.
We video chat a lot, help each other with college assignments, shop together, sleep over at each other's houses, gone to events together- you name it. Everything except touch each other.
It got kind of frustrating after I turned sixteen but I never made a move on her and kept my hands to myself despite how tempted I was when my hormones tried to taint me...and despite how much my friends tried to tempt me... and I'm no virgin.
Puberty gave her a blessing, her slightly plump figure back then suddenly went to all the right places, her stomach became perfectly flat as a notebook, her thighs remained a nice thickness, bottom stayed plump and round, her arms slimmed down and her chest ...oh her chest... grew into a generous pair of firm D cups and I know this for a fact because she drags me along when she's shopping and makes me hold the bags... I used to hold her hand just to keep her from running into the most girliest stores...
My face flushed red upon remembering that incident back when we were seventeen...
[FlashBack]
It was 11:00 P.M on a Friday night in the summer. Blossom was spending the night over at my house watching random movies with me in my room. Since it was late , she had changed into a pair of my boxers and a white vest that was overly big on her body.
We started arguing about the next movie choice because I wanted to watch a horror and she wanted to watch some overly girly movie that she loved as a kid that I absolutely refused to watch.
"We're watching pony princesses the sequel!" she yelled at me.
"As if I'm watching that piece of shit!" I retaliated, "We're watching Chucky, since you want to be childish!" I yelled back.
She got frustrated and hit me with a pillow and I hit her back with one until it bloomed into a full out pillow fight until she slapped the pillow out of my hand and tackled me onto the bed sitting a little bit over my crotch and pinned my arms near my head.
My eyes widened as she leaned forward to my face...which made the overly sized vest she was wearing fall forward enough to reveal her boobs in an incredibly lacey black bra that almost barely kept her pink nipples hidden under the dark fabric.
" Um...uh...I...uh..." I started stuttering and my face flushed red. " We. are. watching. pony. princesses. the. sequel," Blossom said trying to sound menacing enough to scare me as her eyes narrowed down at me. She shifted on top of me to get more comfortable and my face flushed beet red as I felt myself bulge in my shorts.
She gripped my wrists tighter making me stutter like an idiot again, "Um...I...Um...," I couldn't stop staring her breasts. " Uh...Fine ok! Get off me!" I gave in and she smirked letting me go then stood up on the bed and stepped over me humming happily as she put that childish movie in the dvd player. I spent the rest of the night with a pillow on the lower half of my body trying hard to focus on the movie every time I caught sight of her boobs.
[End of FlashBack]
"Kiba are you ok?" Blossom suddenly asked me, knocking me out of my thoughts.
"Uh yeah, its kind of warm in here," I reply snapping out of it as she watched me with concerned eyes. She looked at me a few more seconds before taking off her pink cardigan agreeing with me.
"How was your first day at the Uchiha Corp?" I ask her.
Her face lit up slightly," It was nice, a very busy place yet everyone finds a way to make it enjoyable somehow, my aunt Jade is the new secretary there," she said smiling.
"Oh cool, everyone treated you well? I know the Uchiha's aren't the most welcoming breed of people," I grinned, making her laugh.
"Oh I got a lot of 'hn's' and nods but otherwise they were polite, others were cool to speak to casually and well there's one person that may give me a hard time for the next five months..." she said with a contemplating face expression.
I frowned, "They don't like you?" I asked concerned.
"I honestly have no idea," she said making a face, " He's pretty fouled mouthed, he started calling me Lil Bitch." I frowned more.
"That's awful," I growled, slightly gripping the table. She put her hand over my left one, "Its ok, I don't think he can help it, he disses everyone in the building," she said to reassure me.
I still frown at her words, "He's an asshole," I said.
"Pretty much," she shrugs and her face lights up suddenly. I raise an eyebrow and follow her gaze only to see they had pizza on the menu today. I scoff , grabbing her hand and pulled her towards the cafe, smiling.
Time Skip - 7:00P.M
After a good afternoon of video games and pizza it was nice to have quiet ride home , well um to Blossom's and Sakura's home. Her and Jasper were practically dozing off on themselves and waking up every few seconds to look at their surroundings.
I chuckled a bit and put my hand on her knee just so she can be aware that she's still with me as I drive. I had just dropped Jasper off at their parent's home, he was out like a light and I carried him to the door because I didn't want to wake up his sister. I bid his parents a good night and hopped back into the vehicle.
I only had one more block to drive past before reaching the destination. In no time I pull up in the driveway next to a red toyota yaris and a blue porche...So Sasuke's here too... I looked at Blossom resting with her arm up by the window supporting her head. I lightly caressed her face with my thumb, tucking loose strands of hair behind her ear before shaking her lightly to wake her up.
Her eyes slowly fluttered open and she shifted as her eyes adjusted to the light. " Had a nice nap?' I teased.
She smiled and nodded still in her sleepy daze before looking at the backseat. " I dropped him home already, you were sleeping I didn't want to wake you. She smiled up at me, "You're the best."
"I know ," I said grinning and kissed her forehead before stepping out the vehicle to open the door for her. She took the hand I held out for her to help her step out of the vehicle and I shut the door behind her and chirped the keys.
I saw her look at Sasuke's car and made an annoyed face expression "Do you want to spend the night?," she asked me with almost pleading eyes. I smirked knowing exactly why, the Uchiha may be mostly an emotionless bastard but he was a die hard romantic when he wanted to be.
"Sure," I grinned at her as we approached the door upon hearing a thud against the wall.
"Mmph! Sasuke!" we heard Sakura moan.
I sighed while Blossom simply rolled her eyes and knocked harshly on the door to get the couple's attention to avoid walking in on something mind scarring. There were a few shuffling sounds and whispers heard before the door opened to reveal a fluffy head Sakura in an overly sized blue hoodie with the Uchiha symbol on the sides of the arms.
"I hope you guys didn't taint the couch," Blossom said pushing Sakura aside slightly to walk inside giving Sasuke who was shirtless in a blue jeans, a small wave and headed to her room shutting the door with an audible slam.
I stepped inside and Sakura closed the door narrowing her eyes at no one in particular, "She so needs to get laid," she said turning to look at me, "Maybe she'll start loosening up a bit more and have some fun."
I blinked. "And you're saying this to me because?" I feigned being oblivious, she made a face and hit me on the arm.
Sasuke decides to say something at this point, "It's painfully obvious that you two are overly fond of each other, " he said not even looking in our direction as he sat on the couch with his arms flared out on top of it.
Sakura nodded in agreement with her boyfriend, "You're both in denial of your feelings for each other," she said then frowned.
"No wait I take that back," she said again, placing her hand under her chin, " She's in denial of her feelings for you and you're afraid of making a move because she might reject you and it will affect your friendship," she finished.
"Hn" Sasuke grunted in agreement.
I kept my neutral face expression but I lowered my gaze to the floor in thought They weren't wrong... I like Blossom alot...no...I love her...but...I don't know...
"Don't worry, the ice cube will melt soon," Sakura said patting my back assuringly, " Besides she can't possibly be worse than Sasuke was," she said grinning and he turned around just to give her a glare, she giggled at him and went to sit next to him on the couch.
I sighed out loud, " I'm not too worried," I said taking a seat on the couch opposite the couple. " You shouldn't be at all! because let's face it she feeds you more than me and I've known her my entire life, you lucky bastard," Sakura said with a lot more passion in her voice than necessary. I raised an eyebrow.
"Take some advantage of your friends with benefits relationship," Sasuke said, with his eyes closed as after Sakura excused herself to the bathroom.
Take advantage? " What do you me-?" he cut me off, "She treats you like her boyfriend and you treat her like your girlfriend, test the waters gradually and you'll be kissing more than just her forehead," he opened his eyes to look at me almost mischievously, "If you catch my drift," he finished closing his eyes again.
"Her feelings would fall into place, easier said than done, but you know her better than anyone else," he ended leaving the room silent. I leaned into the couch closing my eyes to let my thoughts wrap around his words as the minutes passed by.
"Kiba?" I hear her voice calling for me, Eh...why not give it a shot...
