Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, I hope you enjoyed your day. Here is a small little present, I'm sorry I'm a little late. Its light hearted and a little fluff for those who like the fluff xD R&R
Knock. Knock. "Sakura! I know you're in there, open up!" Mizuki called, she knew her sister was ignoring her but that didn't seem to bother her much.
The door finally flew open with a disgruntled Sakura stood on the other side, her messy bun falling down, her eyes red from staying up all night studying, "What. Do. You. Want."
"There's a party tonight, and you're going. You've been held up in your room for two months, and if you're not in here then your training with your mega hot teammates." Flipping her hair over her shoulder she walked into Sakura's room.
"I don't want to party, I want to study and get good grades so I can get away from mom and dad. You don't need this but I do, if I fail then I'm stuck at home with our parents." She growled as she flopped on her bed pulling the blanket over her head.
"One party wont kill you, please? We haven't done anything since we got here an I kinda miss you." Sakura poked her hair out and regretted it, her sister was using the puppy dog face.
"That's so not fair, what time is the party?" She looked at her clock and it was only noon on a Saturday so it's not like she really had anything to do.
"It's starts at nine, so I'll be here around six so we can get you ready! I have the perfect outfit for you!" She skipped out of the room and slammed the door behind her, Sakura looked up at the clock and decided to go back to sleep, maybe her sister would find someone else to drag to the party.
Sakura had never had a sip of alcohol but she's watched her sister drink like a fish and have to carry her home in the middle of the night, rolled around in bed she finally got comfortable and closed her eyes.
"TIME TO GET UP!" Sakura jumped out of bed almost running into Mizuki.
"Billions of people in the world and I managed to get you as a sister." She mumbled sitting on the edge of her bed.
"Before we do anything, she needs a bath." Her head shot up and looked at Ino, the blonde equivalent of her sister.
"Oh my god, I forgot. There's two of you." Throwing her head back, this was going to be a long two hours.
"Take her to the showers and lay out the outfits we have." She clapped her hands and started pulling stuff from her bag.
"I don't nee help taking a shower I know where they are!" She shot down the hallway running away from Mizuki who in returned cutely called her name as she ran away.
"Sakura!" She sang, laughing as she skipped.
"Don't do that, you sound like a serial killer." She shut the door and locked it, there was more than one stahl but she was hoping to be in and out before anyone else needed too. She didn't want her sister in her rushing her.
She was in and out and back in her room, stunned at the amount of crap Ino managed to pack in one bag, "I have the best outfit for you!"
She ran over and tossed a red short sleeve crop top, with short black shorts; she looked at Ino and Mizuki as they both just smiled at her. "There's no way I'm wearing this."
"Come on Sakura, live a little, show a little skin, get in a little trouble!" Her sister purred as she grabbed a dark navy romper and stepped into it.
Her long silver hair was twisted in light curls as they fell down her back, her bangs hung over her yellow eyes as she leaned forward and pulled her sandals. Her make up was light, leaving her with a more natural look, Ino was in a simple short flowing lavender dress that stopped mid thigh. Her hair was straight and pulled into a half ponytail.
They pulled Sakura into a nearby chair and started on her hair and make up, for once Sakura let them do what they wanted. She was in a simple pair of lace up heels, her black dress hugged her chest as it flowers down around her thighs. It was similar to Ino's but for some reasons she thought her dress was tighter. Her hair was straightened reaching down to the middle of her back, her make up was light with a simple red lip.
They pushed her out of the room, she could feel people staring at her; and she's didn't like it. Her cheeks felt like they were on fire, her insecurities were going wild right now.
"Hey isn't that the last member of team 7?"
"No wonder she got on their team, look at her"
"Do you think once they're done with her we can have her on my tram for a couple of days?"
She could hear the laughter, not all the comments were negative but for some reason those were the only ones she could focus on. She heard people calling her beautiful and saying how nice she looked but the negativity didn't stop there.
Sasuke walked around the house, he looked around not really knowing what he was looking for until his eyes landed on his pink haired teammate. He almost didn't recognize her, he watched as she moved around with her sister and Ino something about her didn't look right.
Her eyes.
She looked nervous and scared, So this is what she's afraid of, not giant fireballs, not a giant demon fox made from chakra but parties. She is afraid of parties.
He could tell she was uncomfortable as she moved, she tired to use her arms to cover the bare skin on her chest. He blinked and lost sight of her, panic rose a little as he looked around for a familiar shade of pink, he spotted Naruto and pulled him to the side.
"Sakura is here." He looked confused and then laughed.
"Like Sakura, out Sakura?" He laughed again, "She wouldn't step for in here."
"I know, but I know what I saw. She came in with Mizuki and Ino and I think they got separated." They spilt up and looked around the small house.
He stopped when he heard voiced behind a semi closed door, stopping he peeked inside from the crack in the door. He could see Sakura standing there talking to someone who had his pack turned to him. He didn't wait as he opened the door and walked right over to where she was standing, he looked at the guy making Sakura a drink already knowing what he was about to do.
"I have a real goo-" the heavier set man stopped in his tracks as he looked at the red eyed man standing in front of his "date", "Is there a problem here, you didn't tell me you had a boyfriend."
"I don-" Sasuke waved his hand shutting her up.
"Was that going to stop you from putting something in her drink?" She gasped a little as she peered around Sasuke and looked at the man who seemed friendly enough.
He walked over, grabbed the man by the collar of his shirt using his eyes he knocked the man unconscious. He turned around to his teammate who was looking outside, the people were still coming in as she sighed and looked down at the floor.
"Sakura?" He called her name, his tone was rough but gentle.
"I'm sorry, I've ne-" he shrugged out of his hoodie and pulled it over her head without asking if she wanted it.
"I saw you when you walked in, you looked uncomfortable." He mumbled, ears turning a light shade of pink.
She happily put it on taking passing up on the chance to add more coverage, "Thank you."
He felt something twirling around his stomach as he looked down at her, his hood almost swallowing her, "Do you want a drink?"
His black tshirt clung to him, his dark jeans hugged his tone legs as he pulled her down stairs she couldn't help but notice why every girl in the school chased after him. He disappeared in the kitchen and quickly returned with a red cup and plopped it in her hands, she looked down and he was holding a beer bottle.
"What's this?" She could help but sniff the cup.
"Sakura!" She jumped as an arm wrapped around her shoulders, "What brings you here?"
"My sister brought me."
"Naruto, get over here. It's your turn!" A voiced yelled pulling him away,
"It's rum and coke, simple but not too strong." He smirked as she took a sip.
"It's not too bad.." she whispered as she took another drink, standing her with Sasuke she felt comfortable. The negative voices she heard slowly melted away as he stood there with handling a simple but meaningful conversation.
As the night went on she grew more and more comfortable unaware of the watchful eye that kept track of where she was, he knew he should be treating her like ay other teammate and let her get embarrassingly drunk just like everyone did at their first party but she had a lot going for her and a lot of her shoulders. He didn't want to see her lose it all over a little mistake.
He noticed her leaning up against the doorway, he could see someone making their move but he got there first. He took her cup and set it down, her cheeks were red from the alcohol. He sighed as she shoved her hair from her face, he helped her walk outside, the cool night air sobering her up a little.
"I'm ready to go back to my room." She tried to pull away from him but his arm kept her locked by his side as he walked her home.
"I'll take you, you're not walking alone." His tone left her no room to argue, he felt her stop "What are you doing?"
He turned and watched she was pulling the uncomfortable heels from her feet and sighing a sigh of relief.
"These things hurt." She giggle holding her shoes up.
He smirked, "Come on Sakura, you're drunk. Let's get you home."
He reached his hand out to grab her but as he was about to grab her hand she slapped his with a loud laugh she yelled, "You're it!"
"Wait wha-" she took off leaving him stunned for a moment as she dashed off into the woods, running a hand through his hair he followed her.
"Sakura, come out. I'm not playing tag!" He looked around, searching for her signature, she might be good at chakra control but she cant do it very well when she's drunk.
She hopped out from behind a tree tackling him, "Surprise!"
She laughed as the rolled to a stop, he sat up annoyed but it slowly melted away as he listened to her laughter. It wasn't that she didn't laugh or smile but he could always tell something was bothering her, but right now there wasn't anything on her mind and she was just trying to have a little g rated fun.
"I'm sorry." She laughed wiping the tears that had fallen, she looked up at the stars that poked the through the trees.
"Hn." He looked over at her once again, her bare feet were now dirty from running through the dirty her hair was sprawled out around her head, a few leaves tangled in her hair. The shirt dress hiked a little too high as she moved her legs to sit up, he turned away quickly as she turned around.
"Hey Sasuke." He turned around, slowly looked at her, "Thank you."
"Hm" he nodded standing up, he helped her up and pulled a few stray leaves from her long hair.
He could see the emotions running through her eyes, he felt something a little different that night when he looked into her green eyes.
Am I falling for a teammate?
