Sasuke bristled as he walked past the two standing in the doorway. He wasn't going to be completly jealous of Sakura. When he saw her talking to Naruto, he wanted to run over to her and ask if she could smell his scent on her new fiance. But he didn't, he couldn't; that would be admitting that he cared about something.
Plopping onto his cot, Gai immediatly began the parade of questions towards him. "What's eating you Sasuke?" he asked, comically raising a brow. Kakashi noticed by Sasuke's stance that this was not the time, and tried relaying that to Gai, but of course he never noticed."I mean, It's okay to let down your manly emotions and cry. LEE!" Gai's mini me and protege Rock Lee appeared. Striking a pose worthy of an oscar, Gai continued. "Always remember, it doesn't make you less of a man to cry and show your feelings!"
Lee nodded furiously then took out a notepad and wrote. "Hai! Gai-sensei." Gai grinned, then looked at Sasuke.
The man was asleep.
Kakashi shook his head and walked up to Gai and Lee, nodding his head it was time to go. Gai frowned, but continued on his spotted Naruto outside of the room, looking down at the floor. He would have given him a nice pep talk, but the boy obviously didn't want one at the moment, so instead he followed Kakashi and Lee out of the hospital doors.
Naruto waited almost a half hour before walking back into the room. Passing Sasuke's cot, he noticed the other man was fast asleep. Sighing, he trudged back to his own. Staring out of the window, he couldn't stop thinking about the day. Sasuke had shown him a side no one else had ever seen. The passionate, almost human side.
He was settling into a nice daydream when he saw a flash of Sakura's smile and groaned. He still loved the pink-haired medical nin. Naruto gaped in wonder. He still loved Sakura! He must of mouthed it out loud, because he recieved a reply.
"Really?" Sasuke stated softly. Naruto stared down at the sheet, his face going red.
"Ya...I think I do."
Sasuke laughed."You know Naruto, you're going to be the next Hokage,which means you'll need a wife and it will be easier if you just go with Sakura." Naruto nodded solemnly, then thought up an idea.
"Well, maybe you could be with someone..." He cut himself off when a stab of possesion hit him. He didn't want anyone else to have Sasuke!Suddenly it was quiet in the room, so quiet that he eventually nodded off.
Waking up, it was already night, and Tsunade was doing her rounds. She was nodding over Sasuke and his charts, when she noticed Naruto awake. "Oh, Naruto!" She began, coming over and shutting the divider. "So I've talked to the board who were thinking of punishing you two, until I told them I chose you to be the next Hokage. I told them the mess of this situation, and they've decided. You marry Sakura, and when you think the time is right you find a nice wife for Sasuke,since it was Sakura you were fighting for." Naruto blanched. He wanted to tell Tsunade the truth, but somehow he couldn't form the words.
"It's alright, I understand it's difficult." Tsunade began. "But don't fret about it. Now get some sleep, you have a date tomorrow as I understand!" she stated with a smile. "I'm giving up my best medical nin for you tomorrow so there better be a ring when she comes back!" With a chuckle, Tsunade left; and Naruto, who felt in his heart for Tsunade like a mom or an older sister, realized he had never seen her so happy. But as much as he wanted to feel that same happiness, he was just too confused.
The next day, everyone was pretty busy. It was a Friday, the big date night. Naruto looked to his right to see Sasuke doing the same thing he was, absolutley nothing; just watching the bustling people go by.
Sasuke hadn't talked to Naruto since the day before, and didn't look like he planned to. Frustrated with himself and his situation, Naruto finally got up and prepared for his date since Tsunade had brought in his best consisted of tight black pants and jacket with orange flame designs going through,and he didn't need to do anything with his long shoulder length blonde hair. When he finally put everything on and looked in the mirror, the first thing he saw was his father. Shaking his head, he looked again and saw it really was him. He gave a lopsided grin before entering the hospital room again. Sasuke was gone.
"Where's Sasuke?" Naruto asked Tsunade,beginning to panic. Tsunade looked up from fluffing the pillows.
"He went for a walk," she said before she stopped to take Naruto in. Tears formed in her eyes as she grabbed him into a bear hug.
"Hokage-sama..." Naruto struggled out. "Your boobs are squishing me."
Tsunade let go, and right then Sakura walked in. She was wearing a knee length pink and black dress and heels. Naruto's breath caught. "Sakura-chan..." Tsunade elbowed him as she handed him the flowers. "Oh! These...for you." Sakura giggled and dragged him out.
Dinner was a splendid affair. He laughed like he hadn't in ages, and told jokes with Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Lee, Neji, and anyone else who cared to join them. When Sakura was finally able to drag him out of the resturant, she had him walk her home. While Sakura was talking about flower arrangments, Naruto let his mind wander. She noticed and stopped him on her doorstep."Naruto...is everything ok?" Naruto glanced up and saw tears in her eyes.
"No, everything's fine" He said wih a wan smile.
Sakura couldn't stop the tears. "You don't want to get married do you? You don't want me." Naruto pulled her close in an embrace.
Sakura sniffled and remembered her plan. Without being noticed, she reached into Naruto's back pocket and pulled out the condom, putting it in her purse. Reaching up, she pulled her lips to his, easing into the groove of his chest. "Come inside Naruto" she stated breathlessy. He didn't move,just stood looking shocked, so she grabbed his hand and led him in before closing the door.
On the walk back to the hospital, Naruto was walking on air. Sakura had definetly shown him a good time, and they were each other's first. Well...kinda; he said first for himself because he didn't actually "do it" with Sasuke. When they first entered her house, of course they made out for a few minutes, then finally clothes came off, then... it just happened. Yet there was this nagging feeling in his brain, screaming at him that he was forgetting something. He figured it was a reminder of Sasuke, and quelched it before he could remember.
It was really early in the morning, about 2 o clock or so. He pssed the guards and tried sneaking back into the room, praying Sasuke was asleep. 'Please be asleep, please be asleep...' he thought to himself. He tugged off his clothes and made it to his bed.
"So, how was your "date"?" Sasuke said with a grin.
He had a candle lit and was reading a book. Naruto scowled in his direction. "None of your business, Teme."
Sasuke looked back to his book. "Was she good?" Naruto didn't know why, but this statement made him angry, he wasn't sure the exact reason.
Pouncing onto Sasuke's bed, he leaned in close. "That would be none of your business."
Sasuke looked into his eyes. "Get away from me, her perfume is all over you."
Naruto gaped and scowled. Sasuke didn't look intimidated in the slightest. Continuing his reading, he spoke again. "I thought about what you said, and I've decided. I think it would be a good idea for me to find someone else."
Naruto slit his eyes, he hated how Sasuke was acting like he just stated the weather for tomorrow. Growling low, he captured Sasuke's mouth in a searing kiss. Sasuke kissed back, and almost allowed himself to be pressed back into the cot before he broke the kiss and put his mouth to the crook of Naruto's neck. "Look at you Dobe. You can't even make up your mind, just let it go. Now go away. I have to go to sleep so I can get up at 7."
Naruto's face fell, but he did as he was told. A hot tear escaped him before he fell asleep. Life was so hectic.
