she was everything they talked about yesterday
/ / /
Sakura had been on her mission for eight days, four hours, fifteen-and-a-half-minutes.
"OI, TEME."
One day, Sasuke decided, he was really going to kill Naruto.
"WE'RE GOING FOR RAMEN. ARE YOU COMING?"
Like Sasuke had a choice.
They left the Uchiha Compound minutes later.
(Sasuke would never admit how much of a relief it was to leave the compound every time he did it. Ghosts, there were too many ghosts, and Sasuke wasn't good at ghosts. He hated to have to admit that.)
Naruto was already chattering away at his side.
"So I was talking to Hinata-chan—can you believe how cute she is, she's so cute, man, like, for real—and we were thinking that, since, like, you know, it's almost Sakura-chan's birthday—"
Sasuke flinched. Glaring at the ground, he flinched at the sound of Sakura's name passing Naruto's lips. It was a well covered flinch, but it was still a flinch, and while Naruto may have been dense, he wasn't stupid. It was kind of a hard look to ignore.
And this was Sasuke, for god's sake.
Sasuke didn't flinch.
"Ne, ne, teme, do you miss Sakura-chan?"
"I do not," Sasuke muttered.
"You—you so do! You miss Sakura-chan! Omyramen, I bet you love her, don't'cha, teme? You loooove herrrrr!"
"Naruto, you idiot, shut up. I do not."
"YOU DO. YOU DO. YOU LOVE SAKURA-CHAN. OH MY HOLY RAMEN, YOU LOVE SAKURA-CHAN! SA-SU-KE AND SA-KU-RA, SIT-TIN' IN A TREE—"
As Sasuke tried to strangle Naruto, he vaguely thought that Tsunade couldn't be too angry. He wasn't even really breaking his no-killing-people clause, because this was Naruto. He was probably doing the whole world a service.
The whole world.
Huh. It might even shorten his sentence.
Well, that was a happy thought.
Sasuke went back to throttling Naruto into oblivion.
