Title: Cherry Pop
Day Thirteen – Prompt: Treat Yo Self
Summary: His bus rides were always boring until today.

Notes: Still uni/college!SS, but different verse from the ones I've written this week? Lol idk. Anyway, enjoy!

Taking the late bus back to campus was always the worst. There's always some random who tries to talk to everyone, the disgusting smell coming from who knows where, and accidentally missing the stop.

Okay, that happened once.

Luckily for Sasuke, it was only nine when he caught the bus after work. He still smelled like dirty pasta water after bumping into his best friend. They had their usual arguments but went back to work like nothing had happened. Plus, Naruto was way too occupied with trying to woo Hinata, the girl whose family owned the restaurant.

When the bus stopped at a populated area, only a few entered. It was rare for that to happen, considering it was a Friday night. Sasuke didn't bother to look up from his phone but then there was a scent of fresh strawberry appeared. The girl was beautiful. Bright green eyes and oddly enough, pretty pink hair. Her face reminded Sasuke of someone he knew or had seen before.

He checked her out for another second before resuming back to his phone. It was also rare for Sasuke to check out girls. Occasionally, he did but it was unexpected. Though, with this mysterious pink-haired girl, he was lowkey in awe.

As five minutes passed by, the bus was silent but then snapping of someone's gum started to bother Sasuke. It was something he had gotten from his father. Looking up, it was her. He couldn't even be mad about it.

'Wait what? You don't even know her,' Sasuke thought.

He continued watching her chew and popping the gum. Sasuke couldn't tear away… until their eyes made contact.

"Sorry, is my gum bothering you?" she asked, nicely.

"No, I-I was just—nothing. Sorry."

She chuckled as she went back to her own phone. As someone who disliked sweets; her voice was the sweetest thing Sasuke had ever heard.

Sasuke felt embarrassed, wanting to punch himself in the face. Since when did Uchiha Sasuke got nervous?

The bus finally arrived at Sasuke's stop. As he got off, the mysterious girl did too. She flashed him a small smile before handing over a small card.

"You're cute. Call me some time," she said before taking off.

Sasuke stared down at the card. Haruno Sakura, student intern medic at Konoha Hospital. He took out his phone, entering the number and pressed call.
