There weren't any words to describe her.
"Hey, hey! Laundry-buddy!"
Except for maybe annoying.
She's too hyper for her own good…
Sighing, he turned to the girl, who was half-running, half-sliding across the Laundromat they were currently in. She slid the last few feet to stand by his side, smiling like a mad-woman.
She squealed.
He hated when she squealed.
"Did you see how far I went? Oh, Naruto is going to be so jealous when I tell him!"
Naruto.
The person who had introduced him to her.
I'm going to kill him.
"I didn't expect to see you here today, laundry-buddy!" She skipped along next to him, going ahead to the wall lined with dryers. "Naruto said you were going over to his place to hang out."
"He always makes plans without asking."
Putting the remainder of her clothing into the dryer, she blew a strand of hair away from her face. "This was your excuse for not going over to his place wasn't it." She wagged her finger playfully, leaning against the counter next to him.
His silence answered her question. "Oh laundry-buddy, you're so sweet to Naruto!"
"Hn. What are you doing here at this hour, anyway? It's almost ten." He snuck a glance in her direction, looking away quickly when she smiled at him.
"Well, I was supposed to do it earlier today, but I got caught up watching Digimon! The marathon was on all day." At his look, she said, "Whaaaaaat? I used to love that show, you know? Used to watch it every Saturday morning when I was a kid."
He turned to look down at the washing machine in front of him. "Yeah, same here."
She gasped. "We have so many things in common, laundry-buddy! It's like we're meant to be~." Laughing, she turned to see Sasuke looking in the other direction. "Oh come on, laundry-buddy! No need to be embarrassed." She smiled widely when he looked at her again. "We're like peanut butter and jelly!"
He tried to ignore the small smile that tugged at his lips. "You're cornier than Naruto is, Sakura."
"I try, I try." She laughed. "Oh! My clothes are done!" Putting her clothes on the counter, she began to fold, placing them neatly in the basket next to her feet. She could hear Sasuke's silent shuffling as he picked up one of her shirts and began folding it. "Thank you, laundry-buddy." She couldn't stop smiling. "Hey, laundry-buddy, where are your clothes…?"
Sasuke stayed silent. When she realized why, she blushed. "O-Oh…You didn't come here to wash your clothes, did you, Sasuke-kun."
A/N: Aaaaaw, he came to keep her company. Who knew Sasuke could be so sweet. c:
