"Oh jeez, gimmie your chopsticks"

Sakura leaned in close as she asked for his chopsticks. Naruto blushes as she picks up his chopsticks, leaning on the side of his bowl. Sakura slowly places the ramen in Naruto's mouth, careful not to spill a drop. Naruto tries to slurp up a noodle dangling from his mouth, but Sakura places her hand on his shoulder and lifts the noodle into his mouth, brushing against his lip.

After reminiscing, Naruto gazed up at the star-covered sky, sitting on a brown bench, stretching his arm across it.

"Gosh… that couldn't of happened… I must have been dreaming," He muttered not noticing a forthcoming Sakura.

"Talking to yourself I see," She asked, catching Naruto by surprise.

"Eh? Sakura?" Naruto said with an embarrassed tone.

"What are you doing out here, all alone?" Sakura asked.

"I was about to ask the same thing," Naruto replied. "Just thinking, about… stuff" He finished.

"Sasuke, right?" Sakura said, as if she had read his mind.

"Well yeah… I guess it's obvious… " Naruto muttered. I swear, I will keep my promise… I will bring him back, even if I have to break my arm to do it" Naruto said, with a serious look on his face.

"I've realized I'll be fine – that is if we can't bring him back, I don't need him anymore" Sakura said also serious.

Naruto frowned. "You don't care about Sasuke? You've grown heartless without him?, Or are you just hiding you endless affection for him" Naruto growled, looking away.

"Don't misunderstand me Naruto, what I mean is-" Sakura started

"I know exactly what you mean Sakura, I'm not dumb." Naruto growled.

Sakura softly placed her hand on Naruto cheek and gave him a long kiss on the lips. Naruto's eyes widened.

"I love you, and even if Sasuke's not here, I still have you... and Sai, unfortunatly" Sakura stood up, and left, leaving Naruto with dumbstruck look on his face.
