Sasuke took a deep breath a couldn't suppress a smirk.

This was going to be perfect.

Well, here goes nothing. He thought.

Stepping onto the 'Welcome' mat, he raised his hand to the door and knocked three times.

-

"Don't let go." Sakura whined as she felt Miruko's arm around her waist loosen itself, the cool air in the tatami room chilling her searing hot skin.

"There's someone at the door, sweet—"

"Ignore them." She commanded, letting her hand innocently sweep across his tenting boxers, causing him to grunt and fall back into place on the ground.

"You can't keep," he grunted, "controlling me like this."

"Yes I can," she sang softly, "I'm a big girl now."

The door bell rang persistently.

Miruko gripped Sakura around the hips and gently hoisted her up.

"Come on, get a shirt on."

Sakura silently sulked, but did as she was told and got on a long knee-length pajama top, slinking to the door and yanking it open.

"Hello, Sakura." A deep voice said.

"S-Sasuke!" Sakura almost yelled, disbelieving.

"You know this man, Sakura?" She heard Miruko's voice behind her.

"Yes, well, no! But—"

"Oh, hello! Uchiha Sasuke. And you must be…" Sasuke inwardly cringed. All this emotion was paining him.

"Ichiwa Miruko. Sakura, who—"

"Oh," Sasuke nodded knowingly, "you must be the friend Sakura was telling me about. Well, I just came to say hi and introduce myself. See you round, Sakura."

And with that, he planted a long, passionate kiss right on unsuspecting Sakura's lips.

-

Sasuke suppressed an evil cackle as he pressed his ear to the door outside to await their reactions. It was foolproof!

-

"S-Sakura?" Miruko stood behind her, she still staring at the door. His eyes were wide, his hands were shaking. She spun aware, momentarily forgetting that she was not the only one in the room.

"M-Miruko, I swear, it's not what it seems… She looked at him desperately.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He whispered.

"He isn't my boyfriend on the side, no way! I hate his guts!" She tried to move closer to him, but he backed away, falling into a chair, shaking his head.

"I'm…I'm just a friend?" His voice cracked, and he bowed his head, tears falling from his eyes.

"Miruko!" She cried, running over to him. "Don't cry…I love you." She whispered, tears spilling from her own eyes. He wiped his away angrily.

"I know. You cheated because I'm not manly enough. I can't believe I actually thought a girl like you would like a guy like me. I saw him. Big, strong, tough. Oh, god!"

"Miruko, look at me." She commanded, holding his face in her hands.

"LOOK AT ME!" He looked up, glaring. She sat across his lap, and held a stare.

"If you love me, you'll believe me when I say that I love you with all my heart—I'd die for you, Miruko, and I'm not lying. They guy at the door was a mere childhood crush of mine who's decided that he wants to ruin my life by just being in it." She smiled. "I love everything about you, Miruko. I love you."

Miruko lifted his head and smiled slightly.

"I love you, too." He enveloped her in a bear hug, and cried into her shoulder.

-

Outside, Sasuke banged his head on the door.

"DAMMIT!"
