Alright! Finally got this up. School recently started, and I hate it, but yes, yes, it's one of my excuses for not updating. Including my laziness.
This would've been... better? but it's in Younger!Sasuke's POV, so it's sort of, out of my comfort zone, because I'm used to writing in Second and Third person.

o3. do you want to play together?
Stupid tomato scented letters. Stupid birthdays. Stupid girls.
STUPID ANNOYING PINK HAIRED MONSTERS!
Sometimes I wonder about my future. B'coz Otou-san is always talking about it with Kaa-san and he's always scolding Aniki about it also. So, before I sleep I lay on my bed and think about what I want to do and want to be.
I really don't know, to tell the truth. I mean, I think I want to be like my Otou-san. B'coz he's the chief of our police department! Everyone loves Otou-san. He saves lives. I want to do that too. He also puts away the bad guys, like a hero!
I want to be a hero.
...
Sometimes, when I am eating Tomatoes with Nii-san on the porch, and he talks about girls, I think about them too. I think about the annoying girls at school who are always bothering me and calling me 'Sasuke-kun'.
And I wonder what if one of them will someday be the Kaa-san to my Otou-san.
uh.. hm...
ewwwwwwwwwwwww
...
There's this new girl in class today. I don't like her. She's very bright, as in the color kind of bright. Her hair is pink. Who has pink hair? ...no one. Exactly my point. It's annoying.
I can't pay attention in class anymore. When I look up at the board, her hair catches my attention because it's pink. And I hate PINK!
I still don't know her name.
Not that I care anyway.
...
She's a weird one. Pinky.
I was playing alone during recess and she came up to me, with her annoying hair. I tried to ignore her, but she was so persistent. How annoying.
Maybe I should tell Nii-san.
Maybe he'll beat her up for me!
...
"Hi!,"
"Hn."
"..Um.. I'm Sakura!,"
"Hn."
"What are you doing?,"
"Hn."
"..Well.. um..,"
nervous giggle.
"I guess I should leave,"
"...Hn,"
...
Today's going to be a great day! I'm sure of it.
Nii-san's going to play with me today. He promised. He even reminded me about our playdate last night! We're finally going to play together!
I can't wait!
...
"Niiiii-saaaan!,"
"Sasuke,"
"Nii-san?,"
"I'm sorry, I can't hang out with you today. Maybe next time,"
poke.
"Eh..?,"
rub forehead.
"b-but...,"
pout
...
This sucks.
Aniki lied to me! Whatta a jerk. He told me he'd play with meeeeee. I'm going to hit him when he comes back.
He poked me on the forehead too hard this time.
...gosh. What does he wanna do, crack my skull or something?
Hmp.
Oh no.
What. Why... Why's she here?
noooooooooooooooooo
...
"Sasuke-kun!,"
"..."
"I didn't know you played here too! I thought only I knew this place!,"
giggle
"..."
"Um... well... want to play together?,"
scoff
"no!,"
run away
"..."
frown
...
Stupid girl. Why would I play with her?
How annoying.
...
School sucks.
I hate it.
...
Stupid girls. Stupid birthdays. Stupid chocolates. Stupid July. Stupid everything. STUPID CHOCOLATES!
Those stupid girls better watch out! My Nii-san is going to kick their butts!
Hmph.
...
Hey... what's this?
Dear Sasuke-kun~,
Happy Birthday!
I hope you have a wonderful day.
Love, Sakura.
Wait... isn't Sakura that annoying Pinky girl?
Ew
...
Hold on..
the card...
it..
IT SMELLS LIKE TOMATOES.
...
Stupid tomato scented letters. Stupid scratch and sniff stickers. Stupid birthdays. Stupid girls. STUPID TOMATOES. (noo. noo. i take that back! i love you tomatoes...!) Stupid Pinky. STUPID GIRLS. Stupid LETTERS! STUPID ANNOYING PINK HAIRED MONSTERS!
Annoying... Sakura..
...
"Sasuke-kun!,"
"Sakura,"
smile
"Cool! You know my name!,"
scowl
"Hn,"
grin
"Do you want to play together?," ( please, oh, please, Sasuke-kun? )
frown
"No!,"
run away
...
how annoying
...
ooo
Ugh. Everytime there was a holiday, I'd get these irritating letters that smell like tomatoes (—AND HOW DOES SHE EVEN KNOW THIS—) and they're all from PINKY! That annoying pink haired girl that always irritates me. MORE THAN THE DOBE!
(..itai!... what the hell was that for sasuke-temeeee!...)
(baka!)
I have a mountain of these pink enveloped, tomato scented parchments, all for me. I want to throw them away.
But why can't I?
(because it smells like tomatoes!...)
...
"Sasuke-kun! Hi!"
blush
"Sakura,"
fidget
"So... what's up!,"
glance
"Hn"
falter
"The swingsets are empty! Want to go on them?,"
eyes darken
"No!,"
run
away.
( but why not with me...? )
(...sasuke-kun...)
(...I give up)
ooo
Hey...
I'm twelve now.
There are no more letters.
...
The old letters have lost their scent. They don't smell like anything anymore. Just rusty and all papery. So Kaa-san made me throw them away.
And I did.
It's not like they were important to me...
...
step.
Itachi's going to college. My Otou-san says he's a prodigy and I should be like him one day. Maybe I was wrong afterall. I don't want to be like Otou-san, I want to be like Itachi.
Because he was born everything I wasn't and everything I can't be.
My feet drag onto the dirt floor, making patterns and lines.
step.
A noise. I turn to the side. And see that dreaded color.
Pink
She's swinging, alone. And she looks ... sad. Not that I'm concerned or anything. I couldn't stop myself from walking over to her.
And she was actually started when I stopped in front of her.
She looks up at me and I'm the one that had become startled.
since when did you have green eyes! and since when did they become... pretty?
I blink.
She smiles, faintly, weakly. "Hiya Sasuke," almost like a whisper. I raise my eyebrow and think, where's the -kun? ...not that I care...
I take my place on the swing next to her and there's this flash of hope that crosses her face. She laughs.
"What's so funny," I mutter, puffing out my cheeks in anger. She smiles at me and I wonder why my face is getting hot. "It's just that, I've been dreaming of this for almost all my childhood,"
"What?," I ask, confused.
She giggles. "I've always wanted to go on the swings. With you, but you never did...," her face had somewhat of a wistful smile that pulled at my heartstrings.
I looked down, trying to remember all those times she asked me to hang out with her. Anticipation flowing through my veins, I get up and look at her intently, before walking behind her, placing my hands in front of me.
She turns to the side, confused and suprised, "Sasuke? What are you—,"
I push my hands on her back and she flys up, shrieking a little bit in surpise.
I almost break out into a smirk.
...
"Sasuke—,"
frown
"—kun!,"
grin.
"Sakura,"
flail
"Let's go to the park today! The weather is nice!,"
silence
"Aa,"
smile.
"Yay! Let's go!,"
...
"oops. sorry sasuke-kun! I didn't know it was going to rain that hard today! sorrry! I won't happen next time, I promise! I should've brought an umbrella! my mom's going to kill me if I go home like this, because unlike you, sasuke-kun, I have to do my own laundry and i don't have maids or butlers doing it for me and sasuke-kun?"
"—sasuke-kun! are you listening?,"
"—SASUKE-KUN—"
...
how annoying
...
"Aa. yeah, yeah. I am,"
smile
"Good!"
...
