Chapter 20: In Which Sakura Confronts
.
The situation was nothing special: it was a Tuesday afternoon, and Naruto came over to bother Sakura for a bit before the blonde and Sasuke went off to baseball practice.
It was only when Naruto sprinted off to the bathroom when Sakura realized that Sasuke had been acting entirely normal. Even now with them alone the silence between was not stifling, or awkward. It was just a moment to rest and let their friendship breathe.
"This is nice," Sakura spoke, a giggle involuntarily escaping her lips. "You were so weird after my confession."
"It was your choice, I didn't do anything wrong," Sasuke said hauntingly, crossing his arms over his chest. Sakura was surprised he did not cock one his hips to the side, to make the picture of his pompous attitude so complete. While before Sakura had been blinded by the golden light she had envisioned around him, the teenager now fully understood how frustrating Sasuke could be.
While her eyes were open to how full of himself the dark haired boy could be, Sasuke still did it so cooly. Sakura was almost angered at her heart that leapt in glee, but it was probably just from seeing how well they were getting along.
"Well, I wasn't the one resisting my attempts to make everything like it was before," Sakura cooly informed.
Sasuke's dark eyes focused on her for a long moment before he glancing away, standing up with a trademark 'tsk.'
Sakura looked down at her desk, wishing desperately that Naruto would come back and save her already, when she felt a hand on her head. Looking up, she nearly gaped as Sasuke gave her an almost-smile.
"Oi! No moves on Sakura-chan!
It was the only warning given to Naruto's return before the blonde attacked his best friend.
