"Shikamaru, please tell this idiot that I do not want to hurt him, but if I have to, I will." Sasuke said to his friend that was sitting on the other end of the couch.

Shikamaru looked lazily over at Sasuke, and then at Naruto. His two best friends in the entire world were always bickering.

"Naruto, Sasuke will punch you. He's done it before and he will do it again."

"Listen Shika," Naruto said from the kitchen, grabbing each one of them a beer, "all I'm saying is that we should all go out tonight and try to meet some girls. He needs to get over that Ino bimbo."

Both Sasuke and Shikamaru sighed. Sasuke knew he was right, but honestly, he just didn't want to go out tonight. He was just lazy. That was Shikamaru's issue, always.

Naruto tossed each one of them a beer and sat opposite them in a chair. "Can we at least order food? It's too late to cook anything."

The other two agreed, and put in an order for pizza. "I'll pay this time," Sasuke said.

He pulled out money from his wallet and laid it on the busted coffee table in front of him. The coffee table that Ino and him bought together at the market for cheap. His heart pained him.

The boys talked shit about the world and other things while they waited. While they were trying to find a movie to watch, the doorbell rang.

"Pizza," Naruto said to Sasuke. "Finally."

Sasuke gathered his money and opened the door. What he saw made his jaw almost drop. It was probably the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. Her dark lavender hair was in a messy bun that stuck out behind her pizza delivery hat.

"Twe- twenty dollars please."

Sasuke nodded as he handed her about fifty dollars, not even thinking about it.

"Keep it," he managed to weakly say.

As the door closed, he noticed his friends staring at him. The pizza was still in Sasuke's hand.

"What's wrong?" Shikamaru asked.

"I think...I think I'm... going to ask for that girl's number."
