Tormint: Hey guys and welcome back to another chapter!

Without further ado, let's get started!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or any of the characters

The Uchiha clan never really payed attention to "frivolous" things such as love. They say that it only makes you weaker, it takes away from your training. Naruto believed that until he met Sakura in the academy.

Naruto just didn't know why he liked her. Maybe it was her emerald green eyes, her bubble gum pink hair, or her smile that shined like a million suns. Naruto tried talking to Sasuke about it, but he just called him a loser and walked away.

The only person that he could think of that would listen was his mother. He also didn't know that his mother loved romance. She always told him that love is what awakened some sharingans. Immense love and bonds. Come to think of it, that's how Naruto awakened his sharingan.

Luckily, his father was out training with Itachi and Sasuke, so it was just him and his mom today. He walked to the kitchen to see his mom tidying up.

"Kaa-san, can I borrow your knowledge for a little bit." Naruto tapped his mother's shoulder.

Mikoto turned her head to see Naruto standing behind her. "Sure, Naruto, what's up?"

"Well I'm supposed to be hanging out with Sakura today and I don't know what to do. I've never hung out with a girl before." Naruto hung his head.

Mikoto chuckled which then turned into a light audible laugh. She could see Naruto start to pout. "I'm not laughing at you son. It's just funny that my little boy is growing up so fast." She pulled him into a hug which made Naruto blush. Moms are so difficult.

"Well, son, all you need to do is be yourself. If she doesn't like you after that, then she doesn't deserve to be with you." She put her finger on her chin. "Then again, I don't know why she wouldn't like you because you're such an amazing young man. I'm so proud of you." Naruto hugged his mom. "Now go and get ready. I need to finish cleaning up."

Naruto met with Sakura outside of the store. Before they could really hangout, Sakura had to run some errands for home, but having someone with her would definitely make it more bearable.

Sakura waved and gave him a friendly hug. "Thanks again for coming with me to do some shopping for home. My mom has been hounded because my dad is sick."

"If you ever need me to go shopping with you, I can always go with you. I finish my training before noon, so I'm free for the afternoon." Sakura nodded and they entered the store.

She took out her list and started to look for stuff. She would lightly bite her finger as she looked at the list then at the shelf. Naruto chuckled which Sakura heard. "What's so funny?" She asked.

"Just your face when you're concentrating, it's so cute." Sakura blushed and tried to hide it by brushing some hair out of her face.

They continued to look until they found everything. They bought it and Sakura went home to drop everything off.

"So, Sakura what do you want to do now?" Naruto asked.

"Well, there's this cool new scary movie that just came out and I've been dying to see it."

"What's it called?"

"It's called Tormint." Sakura was so excited to see the movie that she was literally pulling Naruto behind her while she was running to the theater.

They got to the theater walked in and watched the movie.

The movie actually wasn't all that scary to Naruto. Yeah, he jumped a little, but besides that, it was pretty bland. That didn't matter though. What mattered is that Sakura thought it was scary. She was pulling and hugging on Naruto's arm the whole time. It was awesome.

"That movie was scary don't you think?" Sakura sked him.

"Yeah, definitely. I'm just happy you were there to calm me down." Naruto lied. Well, he lied about the first part. The second part, though, he couldn't be any more honest.

Sakura blushed. "Oh, stop. You were the one that calmed me down. I was clinging to you like I was about to fall off of a cliff." The two laughed and continued to walk until they heard a band playing in the streets. They actually sounded kind of good.

"Oh, Sakura, since it's getting dark, I wondered if you wanted to watch the sunset, I have the perfect place." Sakura nodded and they went up to the Hokage faces.

The sky shined with colors of purple, pink, and orange. It was beautiful.

"I had a lot of fun today, Naruto. Thanks for hanging out today." Sakura said with a smile.

"Well, you wanted to hangout, so I had to accept." Naruto smiled also. Her smile was just so contagious. Shortly after, Sakura rested her head on Naruto's shoulder. He immediately started panicking. Should he put his arm around her? This has never happened before. He was taken by surprise when he felt Sakura take his arm and put it around her.

"Friends can do stuff like this to you know." She snuggled in closer. "Just because we're friends, doesn't mean we can't hold each other." Naruto enjoyed this feeling, this bubbly feeling in his stomach. He also liked having Sakura close to him. They stayed like that for a while until they both started to get tired, so Naruto walked Sakura home.

"Thanks again, Naruto, I had a lot of fun." Sakura hugged him.

"I had a lot of fun too. We should do this more often." Sakura nodded.

She waved and walked to her door but stopped before opening it. "Meet me here tomorrow at 1:00." Naruto nodded and then Sakura went inside.

This was the best day of Naruto's life.

It was 12:00 am and Naruto just got home. But now comes the hard part. Naruto stood outside of his house at the front door. He took a deep breath and opened the door, only to be greeted by Mikoto with her sharingan activated.

"Why were you out so late?" Mikoto stared into Naruto's eyes. It felt like he was in a genjutsu, her stare was that intense.

"I-I'm sorry, kaa-san. Me and Sakura were watching the sunset, and then she rested her head on my shoulder, and then I put my arm around her, and then we kinda fell asleep and then…" He stopped talking when her heard Mikoto laugh.

"Oh, Naruto." Naruto tilted his head in confusion. "She likes you. She truly, genuinely likes you."

"What makes you think that?" Naruto asked, still confused.

"Naruto, she put her head on your shoulder and fell asleep. That means she felt secure around you." Mikoto hugged him. "My little boy is growing up so fast." Naruto chuckled.

"Thanks, kaa-san. If it wasn't for your advice, I wouldn't have known what to do." Naruto went to walk inside but stopped just before entering. "Can you not tell tou-san, I could go without a lecture tomorrow."

Mikoto chuckled. "He already knows, but I told him I'll give him a special gift tonight if he doesn't talk to you about it." Mikoto smirked after saying that, making Naruto sick to his stomach.

"You're a perv, kaa-san." Naruto and Mikoto laughed and then went to bed.

After Naruto's training he went to Sakura's house to pick her up. He knocked on the door.

"Hello, Mrs. Haruno, is Sakura home?" Naruto put on his best façade to not screw this up because boy, was he nervous.

"Oh, hello Naruto and please call me Mebuki." She put on a warm smile.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Haruno, but I was raised to treat my superiors with utmost respect. It is the Uchiha way." Mebuki was touched by how he was taught. Just then, Sakura came to the door.

"Hey Naruto!" She gave him a big, friendly hug. She then turned to her mom. "I'll be back soon, mom." Mebuki waved to them as they left.

Naruto and Sakura were walking to some art class that Naruto overheard. It would be the perfect thing since he or she weren't that good at art. They got to the place then entered. The thing they were supposed to draw was their representation of summer.

"I'm going to draw a man walking a dog." Naruto was just about done with his dog and it looked like it needed to die.

"If that's a dog then I feel bad for it." Sakura said and Naruto laughed.

He then pointed at her people. "Your people don't look that good either." They both started laughing. They couldn't even do the project because they were laughing too hard.

"Well I'm good at making animals. I can make your dog if you want." Sakura said.

"And I can make the people in both of our paintings because I'm pretty good at making people if I do say so myself." Naruto brushed his shoulders which made Sakura laugh.

After they used a little teamwork to finish their paintings, they admired their work and was ultimately satisfied. The teacher came over and gave them a thumbs up. The rest of the class was filled with laughter. They definitely didn't have the best work, but it was definitely fun.

In the streets

Naruto and Sakura were still laughing. Turns out, the people hated them because they were laughing and talking the whole time.

"Did you see their faces." Naruto said as he and Sakura both laughed.

"The people in front of us turned around and stared at us. The only thing that made them turn around, is when you scared them by activating your sharingan." They both laughed even harder after Sakura said that.

They were currently on their way to get some ice cream and then sit on a bench in the park and just chill. Naruto got mint chocolate chip and Sakura got strawberry.

In the park

"I like doing things but sitting down and eating ice cream probably has to be my favorite." Sakura said as she took another lick of her cone.

"Oh, so you're saying I didn't have to go through the trouble of finding something to do? We could've just got ice cream and sat her?" Naruto chuckled at the slightly mad expression on Sakura's face. "I'm kidding." Sakura chuckled.

Naruto and Sakura finished their cones and were just sitting in a comfortable silence, just enjoying each other's company. Inwardly though, Naruto was panicking. He didn't know if he should tell her, or if it was too soon. They had been talking for like months, but that didn't matter, even though she told him basically everything. Should he tell her, or… he was cut out of his thoughts when he felt a hand on his arm.

"Naruto, are you okay?" Sakura said with concern in her voice. Turns out, Naruto was zoned out for a long while.

"Yeah I'm fine I'm just…thinking." Naruto said with a slight grin.

"You know if you need to talk, I'll always listen." She shifted so that she was facing him. "Tell me." Naruto's eyes widened. "Don't get surprised just tell me."

"I can't." Naruto looked down.

Sakura lifted his chin so that he would look at her. "Tell me, Naruto. I want to know so that I can hep you." Her voice was so soft.

He took a deep breath and went on and said it. "I…I…I... like you, Sakura." Naruto looked her straight in the eyes. "I've liked you for a pretty long time now. I just didn't tell you because I didn't want to ruin our friendship. If you don't feel the same way, that's fine, but…can we still be friends?" Naruto's heart was racing. He then heard Sakura start chuckling which then turned into full blown laughter. Naruto felt a little disappointed.

"No, we can't be friends, Naruto." Sakura then took his hands into her own. "Because…I want to be more than just friends." Naruto looked up at Sakura.

"Are you saying that you'll…" Sakura cut him off by kissing him on the cheek and letting go of his hands.

"Yes…I would love to be your girlfriend, Naruto." Naruto was happier than ever. He couldn't wait to tell his mom, she was going to flip.

"So, Sakura-chan, when can we, or can we not do things?" Naruto asked.

She tapped her finger on her chin. "Well let's see, you can hold my hand whenever you want, hug whenever you want, put your arm around me whenever you want, and…that's about it."

Naruto then put his arm around Sakura and pulled her in tight. She rested her head on his shoulder and let out a small, pleasure filled sigh. "I could get used to this." She said and Naruto agreed.

"Oh, Naruto, I almost forgot." Naruto raised an eyebrow. "You can also kiss me whenever you want, but that's reserved for when we're in private." Naruto nodded.

Oh yeah, Naruto could definitely get used to this.

Tormint: Thanks for reading this chapter and I hope you enjoyed.

Thanks for all the positive reviews, they're really appreciated.

Next chapter is going to be a lot of fluff and probably a short chapter, so I'll see if I can do a double update. The chapter after chapter 4 will start the chuunin exams, so that's going to be fun to write.

I might not be able to update a lot next week because of stuff for school, but I'll see what I can do. If you want, you can check my favorited stories if you want something to read while you're waiting for an update.

I know some of you will probably talk about Sakura being OOC, but you guys have to remember that Naruto would annoy people to get attention. Since he has a family in this fic, he'll be more bearable and, therefore, Sakura will view him as an actual person and not some thing that is the bane of her existence.

Anyway, I think I've rambled on for long enough. Again, thanks for the reviews, i hoped you enjoyed the chapter, and get ready for some major fluff. Tormint out!
