"I thought you were joking!"
"Do I look like the kind who would joke?"
There was a pause that spoke volumes.
"Okay, OKAY! So I do joke a lot. But I'm not joking about this one."
"Naruto, there's no way that makes sense, in any form of the word. Come on! That's just kind of...oh, I don't know."
"Sick, twisted, gross, unnatural...those are the things I've heard while people thought I wasn't listening."
"Well, I mean...it is kind of...weird."
"I don't care! It's not like it lowers people's opinion of me anyway! I'm still the 'Kyuubi brat'. I'm the one who's going to suddenly snap and level the village, because, after all, after sixteen fucking years of being in control it's going to suddenly evaporate into thin air! Gods!"
Sakura gave the sky a long-suffering look and sighed. "Naruto, calm down. You have to think through this rationally."
"No! This is...this is...beyond rationality! Anyone can see that."
"It's probably just hormones."
Naruto growled and folded his arms over his chest, looking sullen, injured, and angry. "Hormones."
"You're a teenage boy, Naruto. Right now you're more governed by your cock than by your brain. There's that saying..."
"What saying?"
"The gods gave men two things to think with but only enough blood to use one at a time."
Naruto snorted and gave Sakura a half-hearted glare. He sighed and looked at the ground after a long pause.
"Maybe you're right. But...it's...well, how I feel. Sure, it might change, but right now...he's my most important person, and I will protect him and help him no matter what."
Sakura sighed and ran a hand through her hair, then gave Naruto a long look. The awkward pause hung between them for a moment more before Sakura walked over and gave Naruto a hesitant hug.
"Fine. Just...be careful. Even though you can be dumb and annoying, I still care for you like a brother. We have, after all, been through a lot together."
A soft smile crossed Naruto's face, and he gently hugged Sakura back. "I'll try."
Sakura pulled away and gave him a mock angry stare. "But if you do anything dumb, I won't forgive you! You'll have to face the wrath of Haruno Sakura!"
With that, they both laughed, and peace was made, even though Sakura still wanted to pummel Naruto into the ground for being dumb and following his body's urges rather than thinking out the consequences.
