New drabble comes courtesy of JT and his awesome single, "Suit and Tie." Can't stop listening to this one. This drabble isn't anything remotely deep, but it's fun, silly and has a little bit of fluff. enjoy!


"Look at my suit and... shit...tie?" Naruto drunkenly hiccuped to his pink-haired companion.

"Yes Naruto. You're wearing a suit and tie." Sakura groaned, cursing whatever higher power decided that she would be the one stuck babysitting her drunk teammate tonight.

"I'm all on this suit and tie...shit..."

"What?" Sakura asked warily.

"Can I show you a few things Sakura-chaan?" Naruto asked, seeminlgy recovered from whatever caused him to swear just a moent ago.

"No. No you cannot." Sakura bit out. "Why don't you drink some water?"

"Sakuraaa, I'm wearing a suit and tie!"

"I swear to all that is holy Naruto..."

"Man I loook good in this, right?"

"It's certainly better than that horrible jumpsuit..." Sakura drawled.

"So can I show you a few things Sakuraaa?"

"I already told you no dumbass."

"Hey Narutooo!" Kiba called out. Judging by the way he was stumbling around, Sakura guessed he was almost drunk as Naruto.

"You ready?"

"Ready for what?" Sakura groaned. She just HAD to decide to come out to the bars tonight. She could currently be sitting at home, reading a nice book and enjoying some tea. Instead she had to...

"HELL YEAH! I can't wait till I get you home Sakuraaa-chan."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Sakura growled.

"You're sooo, hot, ya know?"

"Naruto!" Sakura was ashamed that she actually blushed at her drunk teammate's brash comment.

"You're so hot that I always think that... that I'm gonna burn myself on you or something."

"I can't believe it... you're even cheesier when you're drunk."

"Let's go dance Sakuraaa!" Naruto slurred with a happy grin on his face.

"Dance? Don't you hate dancing?" Sakura quirked an eyebrow. "Aren't you the same man who said, and I quote, the day you catch me dancing is the day I denounce ramen?"

"As long as I got my suit and tie, I'm gonna leave it all on the floor tonight." Naruto drunkenly giggled, ignoring Sakura's question. "And besides, look at you. You look amazing tonight! You want to dance!"

"Well I certainly wouldn't mind dancing..."

"Come onnnn!"

Sakura rolled her eyes but allowed herself to get pulled onto the dance floor by Naruto. She always imagined that one day she would be the one pulling a protesting Naruto onto a dance floor somewhere. Alcohol was a funny thing.

"STOP!" Naruto suddenly yelled causing Sakura and all of the people on the dance floor to pause and look at him.

"Let me get a good look at you Sakura." Naruto winked, causing all the people who had just paused to sweat drop.

"Everytime your drunk ass starts to amuse me just a little you have to go blow it by doing something stupid like that..." Sakura groaned. "Why did I let myself get roped into babysitting you again..."

"Because you're mineee and you couldn't stay away." Naruto waggled his eyebrows at her.

"You are so lucky that Tsunade threatened to make me pay any damages that result from me beating your ass when you're an idiot." Sakura groaned.

"Haha, classic Sakuraaa." Naruto sheepishly laughed. "You're all mine tonight!"

"You know what? We're sparring tommorrow morning. And when I say sparring, I mean I'm dragging you to the training ground and pumelling you into the ground!" Sakura growled.

"Psssh, you're not mad! How could you possibly be mad when I'm wearing this suit and tie?"

Sakura looked at Naruto and begrudgingly admitted that he did look pretty good in that suit. And while she certainly didn't appreciate being referred to as "his," she didn't mind the underlying sentiment.

"You think good looks will save you from this?" Sakura asked, deciding not to let Naruto in on the fact that she wasn't really all that angry.

"When you're dressed like that, definitely." Naruto smirked. "Be honest, you got all dressed up and came out tonight for meee."

"Dream on drunky." Sakura smirked, again deciding against admitting to him that it was partly true. If he wasn't going to be here tonight, she probably wouldn't have decided to come out. But it's not like she got all dressed up for him... Their schedules just didn't match up this week. When he was free, she was working. When she was free, he was off on some mission. This was the first time she had gotten to hang out with Naruto all week.

"Admit it Sakura-chan, love is swinging in the air tonight." Naruto drunkenly grinned.

"You're such an idiot." Sakura sighed. "Are we gonna dance or are you just going to keep on spouting out cheesy crap all night?"

"I'm leaving everything on the floor tonight!" Naruto yelled with a determined look on his drunken face.

"Let me show you a few things Sakuraaa." Naruto started drunkenly swaying around, causing Sakura to laugh. She couldn't help but join in and dance as well, albeit with a lot more grace.

"How many times do I have to tell you no?" Sakura rolled her eyes. "I don't know what you could possibly show me anyways."

"I want to show you a few things about love Sakura." Naruto said with a surprisingly earnest look on his face.

"Wh-what?" Sakura asked, that was certainly not the reply she was expecting. Love was not a word she let herself use around Naruto anymore. Not after what she did in the Iron Country. It had been two years since then, and judging by Naruto's actions since, her act in the Iron Country removed any possibility of the word "love" ever being exchanged between the two of them as anything more meaningful as friends.

"Heyy everyone, look at Na-ru-to!" Kiba yelled, drunkingly slinging an arm over Naruto's shoulder. Whatever Naruto had been about to say would now have to wait. And Sakura found herself lightly annoyed at Kiba for that...

"He's got his..."

"Kiba...shut up." Hinata sighed. Judging by the annoyed look on her face, it looked like Sakura wasn't the only one babysitting a drunken teammate tonight.

"Sorry Sakura, Naruto. Come on Kiba, let's go!"

"But...I had a lot to say!" Kiba whined. "I was even going to rhyme!"

"And that's why we're going right now." Hinata groaned. Sakura quirked an eyebrow, as that may have been the very first time she had actually heard Naruto groan. Usually she was far too reserved to display such emotion.

"But..."

"Nope. We're going home."

"WE'RE going home?" Kiba grinned. "Whose home?"

"You're going to yours, and I'm going to mine." Hinata said with a roll of her eyes.

"Awww, that's no fun! I hope you have better luck Narutoo!"

"As long as I got my suit and tie, I'll be fine." Naruto grinned, drunkenly entering the nice guy pose.

"You seem to think that suit and tie have magical powers or something." Sakura noted as Hinata pulled Kiba away.

"It's working so far, right?" Naruto countered with a cheeky grin.

"It's definitely not." Sakura partially lied.

"Me dressed like this, you dressed like that... It's definitely working."

"Oh yes Naruto. How did you put it again, love is swinging in the air tonight?" Sakura sarcastically replied.

"EXACTLY! See? I knew you get it!"

"After tonight, you're never drinking alcohol again. Got it?" Sakura rolled her eyes for the hundreth time that night.

"And I was being sarcastic you idiot."

"Just let me show you a few things!" Naruto whined. Sakura would never understand what it was about alcohol that could transform a powerful, strong-willed individual into a whiny child.

"Just dance Naruto." Sakura commanded. Again, mentally noting that if she had just told Ino that she would not be coming out tonight, she could be sitting at home, enjoying a quiet night in with a cup of tea...

"I'm dancing, see?"

"If that's what you call dancing, sure." Sakura teased.

"You need to let me show you a few things Sakuraa." Naruto pressed.

"Naruto..."

"There's some things that you're not good with! Very important things!" Naruto went on, undettered by her protests.

"I swear..."

"It's not your fault. I mean... you had Sasuke screww you over. Then look what I did when you confessed to me? ME! ME OF ALL PEOPLE!"

Sakura had stopped dancing and was now staring at Naruto with a curious look on her face.

"Why are you bringing this up now?"

"How could you know anything about love when the two times you tried to open your heart you got rejected?"

"I don't know where you're going with this Naruto... but drunk or not, you're in dangerous territory."

"I've been in love all my life!" Naruto boasted with a proud, yet still quite drunk, smile. "With you of course."

Sakura's eyes widened, but she didn't say anything.

"So I'm here in my suit and tie, and you're here wearing that dress I like... Let me show you a few things about love Sakura."

Sakura couldn't find her voice. When she agreed to go out tonight, and then when she got stuck babysitting her drunken teammate, she certainly didn't expect to get any sort of cheesy confession out of him like this.

"Let me show you all about love!" Naruto yelled. He suddenly tripped over his own feet and began falling forward, but Sakura caught him without a second thought. She didn't protest in the slightest when he drunkenly slipped his arms around her waste and pulled her into one of the stranger hugs she had gotten.

"Naruto..." Sakura whispered with a small smile on her face. "I..."

She paused. Naruto had been drunk, so his confession wasn't exactly smooth, but she wasn't drunk. She would answer him the right way. Just as she opened her mouth to reply, a slight snoring could be heard coming from Naruto.

Sakura looked at his face and sighed when she saw that he had passed out.

"Alcohol sucks." Sakura groaned. Go figure, she finally gets a confession from a guy she cares about, and the idiot goes and passes out before she can reply?

"Time to go home Naruto." Sakura sighed. She picked him up and carried him back to his home.

Sunlight poured through the window, forcing Naruto to slowly stir awake. A throbbing headache made sure he regretted waking up...

"Ughh... what the hell..." Naruto groaned to no one in particular. He got up and noticed he was wearing his black suit and tie.

"What the..."

Before Naruto could ponder what was going on any further, a knock sounded at the door. He got up, stumbled to his door and pulled it open to see Sakura standing there with an amused look on her face.

"Wow, you look like shit." Sakura smirked.

"What are you doing here so early Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked, squinting from the sunlight that was coming in through the open door.

"It's 2 in the afternoon!"

"Oh... So what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be working right now?"

"I was out late last night because I had to take care of a drunk idiot. Things were really slow at the hospital today, and after a short conversation with Tsunade, I got the day off."

"What'd you talk to Baa-chan about?"

"Not important." Sakura replied with an innocent smile. She definitely wasn't going to tell him he was the topic of their conversation. And she definitely wasn't going to tell him that Tsunade had not-so-subtly pushed her in his direction.

"So...why are you here?"

"You don't want me here?" Sakura asked with an overly dramatic frown.

"WHAT?! No! I love spending time with you! It's just... I'm a little hungover right now and just woke up. My brain isn't working so well yet."

"Is it ever?" Sakura teased. "Nice suit and tie by the way."

"Yeah... do you know why I'm wearing this by the way?" Naruto asked. The last thing I remember, Kiba challenged me to a drinking contest after lunch. We drank a LOT, and I think we went out to the bars even?"

"I have an idea of why you wore it." Sakura cryptically replied. "You were already in it by the time I met up with you guys."

"So why did I wear it?"

"You were gonna show me a few things."

"A few things?"

"Yeah." Sakura smiled at him. "So... show me. I'm ready."

"Err... what am I showing you?"

Sakura smiled sweetly at Naruto and leaned in, she stopped herself inches away from Naruto's lips.

"Figure it out." She pulled back and chuckled at Naruto's stupefied expression.

"Figure what out? You gotta help me here Sakura!"

"Maybe you would remember if you hadn't gotten so damn drunk yesterday." Sakura brushed past Naruto's shoulder and walked into his apartment.

"But... damnit! Did I say anything stupid? Just tell me what I'm going to show you!"

Sakura looked over her shoulder and couldn't help but laugh. She thought about telling him, but decided to let him figure it out on his own.

Besides... he probably wouldn't pass out after confessing to her this time... she hoped.
