note.
And the bunkasai-arc comes to a close with 11 chapters. A big welcome to everyone that has just joined the PTL family as well, I love hearing back from you guys and the reviews from the recent chapters have been too kind!
I won't be able to update as frequently I have for the coming week since I'll be terribly busy and jet-lag (I'm going back to Hong Kong for Easter holidays!), so apologies in advance ='[
Two more arcs before the end - are you guys ready for this?
track 26.
Naruto kicked a can on the street out of the way. Out of everyone that he could have met on the way out of school it had to be the one person he least wanted to see at the moment.
"What's got your panties in a twist?"
He had left early - before the bonfire - so that he wouldn't have to bump into Sakura and Sasuke. He had expected Sasuke to be with her while he caught up on his shift, and naturally attend the bonfire and eat out with the rest of the class. Naruto did not think that the person he would be walking to Ichiraku with would instead be the Uchiha.
"What's it to you dead last? You look like you just got rejected or something." He said it nonchalantly. As if it didn't matter to him one bit. After all, if Naruto was here with him instead of Sakura, he obviously wasn't doing his bonfire confession.
This only fuelled Naruto's irritation. He stopped in his tracks before releasing a sigh. What else should he have expected from Sasuke?
"I did. I confessed, and got rejected." This time, the darker haired of the two stopped. Clenching his fists and opening them again slowly. He stood still, aware that by now Naruto likely knew of how he felt towards Sakura.
"You already -"
"Yeah." But Naruto wouldn't tell him that he also asked Sakura to accept whoever confessed to her next, or that he knew that the person she liked was the bastard.
"And she -" How exactly did one finish 'and she rejected you' without being a shit friend?
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry." He continued walking when he heard Naruto's footsteps catching up.
"For what? Sakura rejecting me? Or for not telling me that she liked you? Because it's fine." Sasuke could only pretend to not notice the lack of the suffix or how dejected the normally bright blond sound.
"Both. And it's not fine." He lifted the curtain of the ramen stand.
I'm sorry for thinking you weren't serious about her.
"It's okay. I'll forgive you on one condition." Taking a seat next to Sasuke, Naruto placed his order of three extra large servings without looking at the menu.
"I expect you to pay for my ramen." Naruto didn't mention that he also expected Sasuke to properly go after Sakura now that he bowed out.
