Closing the gap

"So, um…what's your brilliant idea, mister Let's-take-that-stupid-dare-from-an-even-more-stupid-Naruto? Hm?"
"Hn."
"You know that doesn't help us from this…tight situation." says Sakura annoyed, a girl whose pink hair resembles the sweet cotton candy, her green eyes matching her unusual colored locks.
*Flashback*
"Oy, Temeeee!"
"Dobe."
"WHAT THE HECK DID YOU SAY?!"
"Usurantokachi."
"Bastard."
"Dumbass."
"Chicken hair scaredy cat."
"JUST SHUT UP!" Two strong fists hit at the same time both of the boy's heads.
"Sakura-chan! You didn't have to hit me that hard, ttebayo!" whimpers Naruto, a blonde haired guy with blue eyes like the endless sky, while holding his throbbing head.
"The nerve of that girl…" mutters the other victim, Sasuke, while his hand tries to find the bump that hides between his ebony strands, rolling his dark eyes in irritation.
"That's for being stupid!" responds the girl of the group.
"Anyway, ttebayo! I have a dare for you two!" says energetically the spiky blonde, like he wasn't in agony a few seconds ago, his fingers pointing at his two best friends.
"Huh? What dare, Naruto?" Her eyes widen in curiosity.
"I don't have time for your stupid dares, idiot." The midnight haired teenager turns in the opposite direction, his hands in his pockets.
"Hehe, are you scared, Sasuke-teme?" At this, he stopps, his right leg floating in air.
"What's it all about?" He asks with his back turned to them.
"I knew it! Come with me!" Naruto waves his hand to the door in front of them.
"Nobody asked me!" sighs Sakura, but she still follows the two boys in front of her.
The trio makes its way trough the silent corridors of their high school's basement, the janitor's sanctuary.
"Um, Naruto…?"
"Yes, Sakura-chan?" He turns to face her, a sly smile appearing on his face.
"Where are we going?"
"Oh, it's right…HERE!" Suddenly, the pink and black haired teenagers are pushed brutally trough an open door which closes as soon as they land on each other on the floor of the dark room.
*End of flashback*
"Tch, like I have an idea…Get your fat leg down from my shoulder."
Sakura blushes at the thought of what he could have seen, fortunately, the blackness of the little room doesn't let the eyes pierce trough the darkness (and even more fortunately that she isn't wearing her panties with bunnies.).
"Sorry for that."
"Ah. Nice panties."
Red adorns her cheeks and even if she can't see him smirking, she can feel the superior aura that surrounds him.
"You motherfucking pervert!" She covers her legs with her little hands in an attempt of protecting her privacy. She blinks. "Wait a second! You are not even able to see my panties, you, you...SICK MONKEY!"
He chuckles at the childish insult, but, as quickly as the lightning breaks the sky in two, he resumes his serious stance.
"Hn. I have an idea."
"Really? Tell me, tell me!"
"No."
"What do you mean?"
"No." he repeats slickly.
"Really, Sasuke-kun? Aren't you sick of this stupid prank?" But, the truth is that Sakura can only think of the chance of staying so close to the person that she has truly loved for such a long time…She realizes just now how fast her heart beats because of all the emotions that invade her mind.
"Hn."
"I would punch you so hard if it wasn't for this obscurity."
Unexpectedly, her hand is pulled gently towards his direction and she falls on his oh, so muscular chest, taking in his manly scent. Her eyes widen in amazement at his quick heartbeat and she gasps, but immediately covers her rosy lips with her fingers. Sweat, heartbeats, breathes… and everything else is quiet.
"You hear it too, right?" he questions, his baritonal voice startling Sakura from her trance.
"Y-yes"
"Do you get it?"
"Huh?"
"Annoying…" he murmurs, his eyebrows expressing his difficulty. "Don't make me explain myself…You…you know that I'm not a man of words…Damn it."
The pink haired's mind is filled by the echo of his words and when she realizes, she can't stop the tears that form in her eyes not to trace her graceful face. Her arms encircle him, the heat of their bodies merging.
"I do. I love you too, Sasuke-kun." she whispers, moving her lips to his cheek and pressing a playful kiss. His hands wipe off the full of happiness tears.
"Aa." He cups her head and seals their naïve love with a kiss.
I promise to be with you even in the hardest time. I won't let you cry anymore. I won't let go of your hold. I…I love you.
