Yuck

Sakura stood in the doorway, looking for all the world like someone had just forced her to drink pond scum.

"Sakura?"

"Uh?"

"I asked if you would please be my girlfriend! Our passionate love will make the hearts of our depressed classmates lively and youthful once more! What do you say?"

"I'm going to be sick." She clamped her hand over her mouth, and tried to run past Rock Lee.

"Oh! You wound me so, my dear Sakura!"

"No, I mean I'm really going to be--" Before she could finish her sentence she gagged.

And then puked all over Lee's clean white shoes.

"Sick."

Rock Lee was completely mortified, and couldn't bring himself to say anything. Sakura flushed a deep red and ran to the bathrooms, shouting an apology back at the stricken Lee.

At this point the rest of the class had turned their attention to the doorway where Lee was immobilized.

"Oh gross, Lee! Why'd you puke on your own shoes?!"

"Sakura did it, dobe. Weren't you paying attention?"

"No! Unlike you, I don't make a habit of staring at Sakura!"

"I don't stare at her."

"Yes you do! I see you doing it! Your face is all, 'oooh, Sakura, you're so hot, but I'll never tell you because I'm too angsty and emo to admit I have feelings!'"

"I do not make that face. Ever. And how would you know that I stare at her all the time? I'm flattered, but I don't swing that way. Neji would be better suited for your sick fantasies."

"I don't have sick fantasies about other guys! Baka teme!"

"Hn."

Naruto grouched and Sasuke scowled, that is, until Lee was finally able to speak.

"THIS IS NOT YOUTHFUL AT ALL!! SOMEONE HELP MEEE! GAI SENSEI!!"

"Oh. I'll go get the janitor." Kakashi had finally appeared but realized he couldn't get into his classroom with Lee standing there in a puddle of gross, so he turned and walked away.

"Sh-shouldn't somebody go see if Sakura is okay?" Hinata peeped, her hands pressed over her eyes.

"I don't see any other way out of the classroom, do you? And I'm sure as hell not going to try and go out that way." Tenten grimaced, giving Lee a pitying look.

"Yeah, ew. But do you know what's wrong with Sakura?" Ino questioned, flipping her hair over her shoulder.

"Not a clue."

The rest of the class was in different stages of disgust, except for a few of the guys who were just laughing at the dork with vomit on his shoes. Yeah. The meatheads.

"Hey teme, aren't you worried about your lover?"

"What lover?"

"Oh, don't play dumb teme! Sakura! She just got sick all over Lee and you don't look bothered at all! Go to her Sasuke! Sweep her into your arms and tell her everything is okay, because you're in lurve and it doesn't matter that she just embarrassed herself in front of the entire class!" Naruto cackled and missed the tiny flush that came and went on Sasuke's cheeks.

"Shut up, dobe. I don't even like Sakura."

"Liar! Why are you in denial? Accept the warm fuzzy feelings!"

"You're pathetic."

"Me!? At least I'm not in denial!"

"No, you're worse than that. You don't even know someone likes you."

"What?! Since when?? Who?"

"Exactly."

"No, wait teme! Tell me!"

"Hn."

"Augh!" Naruto spun around to face Hinata, who was seated at the desk beside him. "Hinata! Do you know who likes me?"

Said girl's face went completely red, and she stuttered meaninglessly.

"U-ummm…I-I think Tenten…umm, wanted something." Hinata scooped up her books and walked back the row of desks to sit in the empty one behind Tenten, which was normally occupied by Sakura.

"Psst! Tenten! N-Naruto, he…he knows!"

"Knows what?"

"That somebody…that somebody likes him!"

"That's great Hinata! Now all you have to do is confess! Really, he's practically met you halfway! I'm surprised the idiot even knows though…somebody had to have told him. He's too stupid to figure it out on his own." Tenten rolled her eyes, and Hinata fiddled with her fingers.

"I-I guess."

Kakashi hadn't come even after the janitor cleaned up the mess, so the students were spending their free time in the best way they knew how: socializing. Rock Lee was in the office, calling home for a new pair of shoes.

"Hey, where's the teme?" Naruto randomly asked in the middle of a heated argument with Kiba.

"I'm telling you it's--oh, I don't know. Who cares?"

"Right! It's an E!"

"Wrong! It's an I!"

And so on.

Meanwhile, Sasuke had slipped out of the room and was walking into the bathroom, thanking God that they were co-ed.

"Sakura?"

"Who is it? What do you want?" She called from the last stall, her voice cracking. She had been crying.

"It's Sasuke."

"Oh." He expected her to say more, but she didn't.

"Are you, you know, okay?"

"Kakashi sent you in here to get me, didn't he?"

"No."

"Oh."

"Naruto's fighting with Kiba, and I want him to get his ass kicked."

"So you came instead."

"Yeah."

"Well, I don't care! I've made a complete fool of myself because of that stupid Rock Lee! And our disgusting school food!"

"What?"

"I drank some orange juice from the cafeteria this morning, and it tasted really gross. Turns out it was spoiled."

"Hn. Are you coming back to class any time soon?"

"No! Not ever!"

"Fine. I'll be here until then."

"What!?"

"Kakashi will go off on me if I go back and just leave you here. Besides, this is a reasonable excuse for skipping class."

Sasuke walked over to the windows on the other side of the bathroom and sat on the ledge, staring with disinterest at the graffiti scrawled on the side of the bathroom stall. His eyes snapped upwards when the stall door opened and Sakura stepped out, wiping her eyes with her sleeve.

"Thanks for waiting for me." She smiled tentatively and blushed, her gaze on the floor.

"Hn."

Sakura shuffled her feet, trying to decide what to do, and then hopped up on the window ledge beside Sasuke. He gave her a pointed look, but she stayed put. Sasuke sighed and turned his face towards the door.

"I'll take you to the nurses' office."

"Oh, okay then." Sakura looked down at her feet, and then a hand moved into her line of vision.

She looked up, and Sasuke was waiting for her to take his hand.

"I don't have all day, Sakura." She blushed.

"Sorry." She slipped her small hand into his larger one and he helped her down from the window ledge, holding on to her hand for a few moments longer than necessary.

The walk to the nurses' office was quiet, but Sakura wished he would say something. Anything. She had just found enough pluck to speak up when Sasuke stopped and she ran right into his back.

"Oh! Sorry Sasuke! I wasn't really paying attention!" She let out a nervous laugh and flushed, staring at her shoes once again.

"Hn." Sakura saw him step toward her and she looked up, alarmed.

"Hope you feel better." He leaned over and planted a soft kiss on her cheek and walked away, his hand brushing hers.

Sakura blinked, stunned. Sasuke Uchiha just kissed her on the cheek!

And suddenly, she was feeling much, much better.

Hey, I hope you liked my attempt of fluffy-ish humor stuff! I tried, at least! Heh heh. Like the last chapter, this ficlet had a little bit of inspiration. For those of you who've read the books Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings you've probably realized that this is inspired by the scene where Jessica upchucks on Paul Parlipiano's shoes after confessing her love for him. XD I thought that was hysterical. I just wanted to write a story involving that kind of scene, and I don't think it turned out nearly as good as the book, but oh well. I don't do to well with humor. n.n

Anywho, please review and tell me what you think!
