Phew, chapter 3 is here *have to write fast before the idea fades*
sasusakunarutotard123 : I'm reading it now, it's really REALLY good.
Saku POV
I woke up the following morning, actually I didn't know if it was morning or noon. That was the day I got discharged. I'm going to Sasuke-san's house today. I thought. After that, the only thing on my mind was him. I imagined what he looked like, If he's handsome like Tom Cruise, I want to be blind forever to stay with him. oh what was I thinking. I was so childish at that time. I had to get a job, I had to get a place to live, and I had to take a corneal surgery. Yeah, there were so many things I had to do, but at that time, I had to snap out of my childish thinking.
I heard knocks, and a voice came along "May I come in ?", I realized that was Sasuke's.
"Go ahead." I said loudly.
I heard the door opened, then the footsteps. He was coming nearer to me, I guessed.
"You're ready ?" He asked. I nodded, "Very well."
"I need to change first," I said.
"I'll help you with it," Yamanaka suddenly said, I didn't know she was there, She's a ghost or something ? I thought. "I still have some of my casual clothes with me. I knew you would need to change your clothes so I brought along."
"Thanks, Yamanaka-san." I replied, she is really good to me, just like Sasuke.
"Pup pup pup, call me Ino." She said cheerfully.
"Ah, Ino-san."
Then I got to the bathroom with Ino. When she helped me changing, I felt a bit embarrassed, actually a LOT. Her clothes was a little big for me. But I MUST NOT complain anything, she helped me, I must appreciate it. "Appetite comes with eating" was not the right thing to do at that moment.
After that Sasuke took me somewhere, I didn't know where and I didn't CARE where, all I knew was he was holding my hand and whenever there was a obstacle, he warned, or pulled me closer to him to dodge. I thought I blushed really hard. On the way, I kept hearing the girls said "he's holding her hand", "I'm so jealous.", "who's she anyway ?"… but I didn't mind, I somehow wanted him holding my hands like that forever. Wait, perhaps that means…
Suddenly he let his hand off me, and I didn't hear the girls like before, could it be…? "Sasuke-san ?" I called out his name, totally feared.
"Oh, I have to get my car." He said to calm me. And I felt relieved. Just a second ago, I thought that he had abandoned me.
I heard engine sound, it came nearer and nearer to me. I stepped backward a little. Then I heard the screech of the tyres really near, I bet the car stopped right in front of me. Someone opened the car's door, which was in front of me, I guessed that was Sasuke. He put his arm on my shoulder, and led me to the passenger's seat. Then he closed the door and went back to the driver's seat.
"Oops, almost forgot." I heard him saying. Then I felt something was in front of me, and I even felt the breath, and the…smell, I was sure that was Sasuke's. What was he doing ? He was so close to me. What should I do ? I closed my eyes, even I didn't know what I was thinking. Then I felt some kind of…band on my body. I touched it, and realized that was the seatbelt. Phew, so he was just fastening the seatbelt for me.
"Why is your face so red ? You have a fever ?" He asked. Crap, I blushed, no, I couldn't let him know that I was…whatever it was, I had to defend.
"Ah no, it's nothing, nevermind." I said, and I thought that was the dumbest thing I had ever said.
"Ok then."
I didn't say anything while he was driving, for two reasons. One, I didn't want to disturb him. Two, I was still embarrassed. At that time, I felt so much relieved because I was blind, or else, I would steal a glance at him, and he would probably notice, then I would be much much more embarrassed.
-After a while-
He stopped the car, I wondered if it was red light or we arrived. Then I heard him open the door. We arrived.
"Careful, get off slowly." He said after opened the door of the passenger's seat's door. I guessed he let me get off on my own. I tried not to miss my footing, and I did it. "Good job" He complimented me. Then we had a while of walking.
"This is my apartment." I heard his announcement after he had opened the door. He helped me walk in. "Don't worry, I live alone. So feel free to do whatever you want.".
"Ok, I will feel free to place bombs in your apartment." I teased and smiled.
"Stop joking." His voice was cheerful. He was happy, I guessed.
I sat down at the couch. He didn't sit with me. "Wait here, I'll make you some breakfast." He said.
"You can cook ?" I asked, I didn't think that he could cook.
"I have to, I live alone, remember that. And I want to save money too." He replied.
I didn't asked anymore further. I just sat there and waited.
Sasu POV
I came to the kitchen. What shall I make ? I wondered. I looked into the fridge. Gosh, out of ingredient, then I had to make some instant food. Speaking of instant food, it's ramen time. Luckily Naruto bought a lot of instant ramens for me, and I hadn't touched any. I guessed that was the only thing I could serve her.
"Hey, is ramen ok with you ?" I asked.
"Oh then you cook ramen ?" I heard her voice, sounded like she was teasing me.
"I don't want to, but I haven't go buy any ingredient," I replied.
"Ok, whatever is fine with me." She said cheerfully.
Then I took one cup of ramen. I did what they wrote on the "How to use" part : put vegetables and spices, then hot water, waited 3 minutes, done. I brought it out to the living room, where Sakura was sitting.
"Breakfast is ready." I announced.
I placed the cup on the table in front of her, waited her to eat it. I saw she confusedly let her hands find the ramen.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you couldn't see." I immediately grabbed the cup and came sit next to her. I used the chopsticks to pick up some noodles and "Say Ah !".
"Oh, no, don't do this, it's really embarrass…" I didn't let her finish. As soon as she opened her mouth, I put the ramen into her mouth, gently (don't misunderstand me).
"Is it good." I asked, though I was confident with my cooking skill.
She shook his head while chewing, "Too salty." she said.
"No way, it can't be." I tried some myself. Like what she said, it was really salty, "Ah, I guess the water is not enough."
She laughed mischievously, "Is this the first time you make ramen ?" she asked.
"Are you mocking me ?" I looked at her, I seemed a bit annoyed.
But she didn't know and kept laughing, "This ramen takes me back the time I started studying cooking. You know, the food I made was really salty, and all my family had to eat ramen instead." After she finished her sentence, her laugh was gone as well. She missed her family. I didn't say anything, I was scared if I would make her cry again.
But she didn't cry, conversely, she smiled, "Ok, let me eat by myself, it's really… embarrassing if you continue feed me like a baby like this."
I handed her the ramen cup, and watched eating. I couldn't stop myself from laughing. She was indeed like a baby. She kept telling me to stop laughing, but I simple couldn't. When she finished, I gave her a tissue to wipe her mouth.
"Next time I eat, you must not watch." She warned me.
"Ok ok." I said, "Really, this is the first time I laugh so naturally, and freely." I still laughed a little.
She didn't say anything, she turned her head to the other side. She was mad, I could tell, maybe I was a bit too far. "You're…mad ?" I asked, she still didn't replied and crossed her arms. I thought I should apologized her.
"Sakura, I'm sorry, I overdid it, I didn't mean to but…" I was confused, and checked her reaction. Nothing, she did nothing, "Sakura…"
Then I realized that she was trembling, was she crying ? Oh no, I made her cry again ? Didn't think twice, I put my hands on her shoulders and turned her to face me.
"Sakura, please, don't cry, I…" I was dumbfounded. She wasn't crying, but giggling. Then the giggles became laughters. She laughed out loud, like I had done earlier, "You…" I was speechless.
"Gotcha." She teased me.
"You…scared me to death." I looked away, avoided her eyes.
"You…were scared ?" She asked in worry, her laughter was gone.
"Duh, I feel really uncomfortable when a girl cries, especially when I make her cry." I replied, "So…don't play that game again, ok ?"
She smiled and nodded, "Why didn't you tell me earlier ? I didn't know you're so naïve."
"Hey, who's naïve ?" I raised my voice and looked at her.
She didn't replied. Then she raised her hand toward me, it landed on my shoulder, after that she moved it to my face.
"What are you doing ?" I asked confusedly.
"I just want to know what you look like by touching your face like this." She smiled.
Then her finger touched my eyes, "Ow !" I yelled.
"Oops, I'm sorry, I didn't know." She took back her hand and lowered her face. I thought she felt guilty.
You're the one who's naïve. I grabbed her hand and put it on my hair.
"That's my hair, can you describe it ?" I asked.
She gently explored my hair for a while and said, "I think it looks like chicken butt." with giggles.
"Chicken butt ? It's trendy, ya know !" I defended.
"Yeah, but for me, it's like a chicken butt." She said.
I stopped arguing and put her hand on my eyes, my nose, and finally on my lips.
"This is…" She hesitated and took back her hand, "I think I'm done with exploring your appearance." I could see that she was blushing.
I smirked, "Good, I don't want to show you my…lower parts." I teased her.
"What ?" She blushed even more, and she looked really cute. I wanted to keep watching that face of her.
"You want to explore "them" that much ?" I said, smirked at her. So bad that she couldn't see it.
She turned her face away, "Who said I want to." she said. I giggles. "What are you laughing at ?" She was angry.
"Ah…nothing, I just remember a funny story." I kept on giggling.
"Stop it." She covered her ears by her hand.
"Ok ok, I'll stop."
I had never been so happy like that before. She just came and made my day different. Somehow I wanted everyday would be like that, would be filled with happiness and laughter, not scolding and argument like my old house.
