"I really don't like this."

"Come one, Sasuke. Don't be such a downer." She jokingly hit his shoulder. "You…get along with Sai. Plus you haven't even met Naruto!"

"I don't get along with Sai." Sasuke kept looking forward, dreading the resort that's rapidly approaching. "Naruto is Hinata's boyfriend, right?"

"Yeah." Sakura smiled and looked out the window. Seeing the scenery change from greens and buildings to mountains and snow brought a sense of peace and relaxation within her. "She's really happy. I think this is the one." He remained quiet so she kept going. "You know how she's dated so many men I seriously thought that no one will be good enough for her. But then Uzumaki came along and swept her off her feet. He's so nice to her." She looked at him. "I'm sure that Naruto will help Sai and you get along just well."

"I don't like Sai." He sighed the moment he saw the resort. He parked the car and looked at his girlfriend. "I don't want to hang out with Sai or Naruto. I want to go to the room and sleep."

"Look here, Uchiha." She glared at him as she opened the door, letting in all the cold air into the warm car. "Every time I come back from traveling for my work, you immediately jump my bones and don't stop till next morning. You don't hear me complaining. So if you love me, you'll do this."

The couple stared each other off before he sighed and opened his door.

"Fine but I'm going to keep you up all night." And without even a glance back, shut the door behind him and opened the truck. She blushed heavily, cursing under her breath how easily he can make her flush.


"Naruto, this is Sasuke." Hinata nervously stood beside her boyfriend as she introduced him to Sakura's boyfriend. She knew Sasuke for a long time and knew that the young man can be a little too blunt and rude without him noticing. She also knew her boyfriend very well and Naruto tended to explode sometimes because of his short patience.

"Hi, Sasuke." Naruto smiled widely and extended his hand. "Nice to meet you."

The young man before him glanced at his hand before looking to the side. "Hi." Sakura elbowed Sasuke making him gasp out in pain. With reluctance, Sasuke shook his hand.

"And of course you both know Sai," said Ino with a smile, pushing her own boyfriend closer to the other males. "Well now that everyone is acquainted we will be leaving now. Bye!"

With that, all their girlfriends left and left their boyfriends standing awkwardly in the lobby.

"I'm going to my room," said Sasuke emotionlessly, walking towards the elevator.

"Wait," Naruto pouted and motioned around the lobby, "aren't we supposed to hang out?"

Sasuke paused and turned around. "They don't have to know we did." He resumed walking.

"Eh." Naruto closed his eyes, trying not to agree with Sasuke's idea. It was tempting but Hinata seemed so happy at the idea that he'll become closer to her best friend's boyfriends. "I'll tell Sakura."

Sasuke stopped walking and slowly turned around. "What are you, twelve?"

"No." Naruto smiled widely. "But I'm not going to deal with this shit alone."

Sasuke glared at him menacingly. "I don't want to hang out with you guys."

"Why?" asked Naruto.

"Because he doesn't like me," responded Sai causally, giving them a smile. "Am I right?"

Sasuke said nothing but he didn't move from his spot.

"Look I know we all probably want to be with our girlfriends right now," began Naruto, moving towards Sasuke and Sai followed close behind, "but they wanted us to hang out. We should do that for them. Plus I think they wanted to be alone."

Naruto placed his hand on Sasuke's shoulder. "We should do that for them. It's the least we can do."

Sasuke stared hard before shrugging off Naruto's hand.

"Okay."

Naruto then looked around the lobby and snapped his fingers. "I heard there's a game room!"

"I don't play video game," responded Sasuke coldly.

"I'm not so good at them," said Sai. "But I love to paint."

"Maybe we can find a painting room?"

"No. I don't want to paint."

"What do you want to do, Sasuke?"

"Nothing."

Naruto finally snapped and hit Sasuke roughly on the shoulder by accident. "What the fuck do you want to do then?"

Sasuke tensed and glared at Naruto. "You just hit me."

"It was by accident, boring Sasuke." Naruto stuck out his tongue.

"I believe you should start running, Naruto," said Sai, moving slightly away while keeping his smile up.

"Why? What's this old man going to do?" That's when Naruto felt it. Bloodlust.

"Oh shi—"

Naruto sprinted down the hallway, Sasuke following close behind. Sai apologized to anyone they bumped into.


"At the end we decided to ski," said Sai, laughing nervously as the other two fully grown men stared each other off.

"I bet I can make it to the bottom faster than you," said Naruto with a wide smirk. He quickly learned that Sasuke was the competitive type and hated losing. Unfortunately while trying to rile up Sasuke into doing the many activities they did the past hour, Naruto also got caught up in his own plan.

"I will beat you," said Sasuke, adjusting his googles. But in the back of his mind, he had no idea how to ski.

"No, I'll beat you," responded Naruto, moving slightly forward. In the same time, Naruto thought the same. How the fuck do you ski?

"How about this," said Sai, wanting to throw his own two cents. "Whoever makes it at the bottom first means they're the best boyfriend out of all three of us." Sai moved slightly forward too. "I will participate in this because it shows that competition is good to bond. I read it in a book once."

"That doesn't make sense," commented Sasuke, ignoring the cry of a child who fell on the snow in his far left.

"Oh it does." Naruto smiled at both men. "Whoever makes it at the bottom is the best boyfriend. Go!" With that, Naruto slides down the big hill, yelling out curse words as he nearly collided against another person.

"I hate him," whispered Sasuke but followed soon after.

Sai lingered on the top, looking at the two men going down the hill. He suddenly thought of Ino and he smiled warmly—a genuine smile that made a few woman swoon on the side—and couldn't wait to see her.

He pushed himself gently and joined in on the race to become the best boyfriend.


"I can't believe I let you convince us to get into the sauna," moaned Sakura, putting her head back. "I'm so sweaty."

"It's good to be in here. It's so cold out there." Ino closed her eyes in bliss. "I'm so comfortable."

"Y-Yes, me too," whispered Hinata, trying her best to keep her towel from slipping.

"Hinata don't worry," said Sakura, opening one eye to look at her friend. "They gave us our own sauna since they have like six."

"Seven," corrected Ino, looking like she's about to fall asleep.

"Hey before you fall asleep," Sakura kicked Ino hard, "tell us what's wrong. How're you feeling? Has Sai…said anything?"

Hinata also looked at her friend and watched as Ino slowly opened her eyes and stretched.

"He's been…more distant." Ino raised a hand before any of them can respond. "But I see confliction in his eyes. The way he moves…he's always tense. And he keeps his bag away from me."

"That's weird," commented Sakura, cupping her chin in thought. "Why would he be tense? Aren't we in vacation?"

"I don't know," groaned Ino, leaning back. "But I know he's not going to propose."

"You don't know that," said Hinata gently. "I'm sure he doesn't want to break up with you. He wouldn't have spent all this money just for that."

"Oh I feel like he would," responded Ino. "To soothe out the pain. I don't know. Sai can be a bit hard to read."

"That's why you talk to him, pig." Sakura and Ino glared at each other before Sakura sighed. "Why don't you just ask him? You're always upfront about things."

"Not with him. I don't want to scare him." Ino closed her eyes, reminiscing about her times with Sai. "I love him so much. He makes me happy. He makes me feel like I'm the best damn thing the world has ever seen. I wouldn't risk anything to push him away."

Hinata laid her hand on Ino's shoulder and gave her a small smile. "I believe that everyone has that feeling. I feel that too when I'm with Naruto. I'm afraid that if I say something he might not like he'll leave me. This feeling that any little thing I do that might upset him haunts me. I don't want him to leave. What if he doesn't like what I do? But then I thought about it and I realized just how ridicules I sounded. If he truly loved him, he'll oversee my irrational thoughts and ideas and he'll talk to me. He'll never leave me because I bring up marriage in curiosity. He'll want to talk to me about it. He'll tell me what he thinks because that's what important in a relationship."

"Communication, Ino," continued Sakura, leaning forward. "Also knowing where you guys stand in the relationship."

"I know but I'm just scared," admitted Ino and feeling a few tears roll down her cheeks. "I really do love him, guys. I don't want him to leave." Hinata and Sakura were by her side the next second.

"I'm sure he loves you back," said Hinata.

"Just wait, Ino. I know you can be impatient but just wait," added Sakura. "You'll be fine."

"You guys are amazing, you know that?" Ino sniffled and sighed. "I love you guys to death."

"Us too," said Hinata.

"But now I'm moving away because your sweat is collecting with mine." Sakura sat back on her original spot.

Ino sat in silence, what her friends said replaying in her head.

She hopes that they're right. She loves Sai so much that sometimes it moves her to tears.


"So let me get this straight." Sakura massaged her temples then pointed at the three men accusingly. "You guys decided to ski down a hill despite having no experience because you wanted to prove who the best boyfriend was?"

"You bet it." Naruto winked at Hinata who blushed. The three young men were currently in Sakura and Sasuke's room. After they came back bruised from their falls, Sakura rushed them all in their room. Since she carries a first aid kit with her all the time, she began to pass the bandages to her friends so they can heal their boyfriends.

"I won," said Sasuke and winced when Sakura slapped his shoulder.

"You guys look horrible," commented Ino, caressing Sai's cheek. "Are you sure you're not hurting anywhere else?"

He shook his head and smiled at her. "I'm okay, Ino. Thank you. It was dumb of me to tell them about my idea. However I do have to argue that I'm the best boyfriend."

"You came in last!" accused Naruto, standing up and pointing at Sai. "How can you say you're the best boyfriend out of all of us?"

"I didn't sustain many injuries." Sai smiled and turned to look at Ino. "So my beautiful girlfriend isn't as worried as yours."

Naruto opened his mouth to argue but found that Sai was right. He pouted and sat on the bed. He looked at Hinata and grabbed her hands tenderly. "I'm sorry I made you worry."

"It's fine." Hinata smiled gently and kissed his nose. "At least you're not that injured."

Sasuke stared at Sakura who simply crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm not forgiving you. You have a lot of scratches and burns." Sakura looked at the other two couples. "I think it's time to call it a night."

Wordlessly, both couples left. Before leaving, both Naruto and Sai patted Sasuke's shoulder who simply glared at them.

"He's dead meat," whispered Ino as they closed the door.

"What happened to the sex you owe me?" asked Sakura, poking her boyfriend's bruised shoulder.

He winced and shrugged. "I can't. Like you said, I'm in pain."

"Oh?" She cocked her brow and took off her blouse, throwing it on the floor. "I'm going to take a shower then." With confidence, she shimmed out of her pants and swayed her hips as she walked to the bathroom. She opened the door and looked back at him. She smiled widely at his shock expression and then unclipped her bra. "I'm locking the door by the way." With that, she went inside and slammed the door.

He groaned and collapsed on the bed, wincing when his shoulder moved too quickly. He heard the shower turn on and he smiled.

"She forgot her towel."


He thrust into her, the feeling of warmth and wetness surrounding his senses making him moan. But he bit his lip in fear that Hinata's friends will hear them having sex. At first he believed he was going to be able to control himself but she suddenly came onto him and how can he deny her that? She kissed him with a passion that threw him off guard but nonetheless didn't complain. So now here they were. He had his dick deep into her and she was arching her back while covering her mouth with her hand.

"God, Hinata, you're so tight," he rasped out as his hips began to move quicker. "Fuck…we have to be quiet."

She nodded her head and tried her best to muffle her moans but it was becoming futile with every thrust of his hips. He was making her feel a million things within that moment. She was aching for a release and she felt it close. Her legs pulled him closer and she gripped his shoulders when his lips kissed her pulsing point on her neck. She finally came and felt as his hips began to slow down before he pulled out carefully. She swallowed and watched as he threw away the condom and crawled back into bed.

This was the best part. Where he wrapped them in the blankets and he kissed her shoulder as he pulled her closer. He'll stare into her eyes and blush when he realized that he did, admitting that he couldn't help but look. It felt so intimate. It was something that made her feel closer to him and she loved every second of it. Feeling his body so close to hers and talking quietly about anything and everything was something she looked forward to. And it doesn't just happen after sex. When he drops by to visit her, he'll bring up his passion of planting while the cook together. Or when she helps him clean his apartment for the night and she begins to tell him about how stressful her classes can be. They always find time to talk—to become closer—and she loves it.

"Hinata," he paused and then kissed her nose, "don't get sick."

She smiled and cuddled closer to him. "I won't. Don't get sick either."

"I won't. I'm a strong man." He chuckled and wrapped his legs around her. "When we were doing that contest today, I kept thinking that I needed to win to prove that I was the best boyfriend. But then I realized that you wouldn't care if I won or not. You wouldn't care if I was the dumbest person on earth or if I had an extra ear."

"An extra ear?" She laughed and he joined her soon after.

"You wouldn't care at all because that's who you are. I love that about you." He kissed her and felt her smile against his lips.

"I think I'll draw the line with the extra ear."

"Hinata!" he whined but watched as she began to giggle.

"I'm just kidding. I wouldn't mind at all. You're still you." With that, she settled her head on his chest and closed her eyes. "I'm so tired. I'm going to sleep, okay? Goodnight."

"Goodnight, babe." He kissed her forehead and relaxed, pulling her closer.

"Oh, by the way my love," he perked up, "you are the best boyfriend ever."

He smiled widely—his cheeks began to hurt—and he kissed her head. "I know."
