I meditated. I heard her enter but dismissed it; it's been three more days.

Three. Horrifically. Irritating. Days.

I don't know what possessed me to grab her chin and I almost wish I hadn't.

…at least before my heart didn't skip a beet every time she entered the room before.

I cussed inwardly; this direction of thought wasn't going anywhere I intended to go.

"U-Uchiha-san? A-ano… i-it's time t-to ch-change your b-bandages…" I didn't acknowledge and she took that as an 'okay' to change my bandanges.

Something stuck in my mind though…

'Uchiha-san'

Not that I wanted her to call me 'Sasuke-kun!' like some fangirl with rabies or anything… but I couldn't help but wish she'd at least call me 'Sasuke-san'.

I bet it would sound great if she said it…

My eyes widened and my left one twitched uncontrollably.

I. Did. NOT. Just. Think. That.

I just didn't.

No ifs. No ands. No buts.

Oh my freaking kami I did.

Just kill me now.

"U-Uchiha-san? A-are you a-alright?"

I whirled around and glared at he girl my thoughts seemed to center upon for the last three days.

"Sasuke." I glared harder, I swear if I have to elaborate I'll rip off her little freakin' head.

"E-eh?" she looked confused.

I took a only slightly calming breath and glared at her once more, "My. Name. Is. Sasuke." I ground out through clenched teeth.

Her eyes widened in realization and she flushed and apologized for not understanding sooner.

…somehow it didn't help calm my nerves…

"Say it."

Her eyes widened again and it was almost amusing to watch. "A-ano… er… S-Sa-Sasu-Sasu…" her stutter increased for some reason (could have had something to do with the way I was glaring at her) and she played with her fingers turning red with embarrassment.

I grabbed her chin and forced her to face me, "Say. It."

She gulped and looked me in the eye.

At that moment time seemed to freeze.

My heart rate in creased and I almost jumped back when her voice reached my ears, breathless and soft.

"Sasuke…"

It wasn't like before, there wasn't any tension… but somehow it made me feel…

…gushy inside…?

I let go of her chin hurriedly and faced the other direction.

Was I actually blushing?! My face felt red and warm, I must have been literally glowing!

…I need to kill her soon.

She took a few minutes to compose herself as well and eventually went back to re-bandaging me.

She was jittery for the rest of the day and nearly the color of a cherry, long since passing the color of a tomato.
