I DO NOT OWN NARUTO!!
"I'm done with my exercises, Naruto senpai!" Sasuke called out to his 'senior', who was resting under the shade of a tree.
Naruto opened one eye. He thought of other things he can make Sasuke do, but it was definitely enough for him to be called 'senpai'.
"You hungry?" he asked lazily.
Sasuke stared at the basket of food his two teammates had bought for him. After running fifteen laps around the field, he was bound to be hungry. He nodded.
"Alright, you can eat, now."
"Thanks, Senpai!" he cheered. He sat down and opened the covered ramen bowl. After breaking his chopsticks, he looked over to Naruto.
"Would you like some? You love ramen, after all, right?"
"No than- WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Naruto bolted up.
Sasuke stared back, wondering if he had said something wrong to offend his senior. "Um, would you like some ramen… senpai?" he tried to restate.
Naruto blinked. "No! After that!!! How did you know I love ramen?" he fidgeted and held his guard, if ever Sasuke was starting to remember things again. He's gonna get in big trouble if that would happen so soon.
"I don't know…" Sasuke looked down at his cold meal. "It just kind of registered, that's all! Does that mean I'm getting better, senpai?"
Naruto nervously nodded and took an apple from the basket.
Sasuke beamed at him. "Isn't that great? Soon we'll be doing missions again!" and he began eating.
After clearing up the finished snacks, another idea popped up in Naruto's head. If Sasuke's memories are coming back, he'd better make most of the remaining time!
"You know, Sasuke, that outfit doesn't suit you at all." He pretended to study Sasuke's usual blue shirt and white pants.
Sasuke looked down innocently. "You think so?"
"Yeah!" Naruto said, "You ever wonder why girls stalked around us earlier?"
Sasuke recalled their trip from the hospital to the training field. Indeed there was a group of girls following them, giggling. Naruto continued his sermon.
"It was because they find my look really attractive!"
A few feet away, behind a clump of bushes, Sakura gagged and made a face from Naruto's statement. As if!!! If there were giggling girls following them around, they're definitely after Sasuke! She had to hold back her laughter and listened more.
"You want girls to become attracted to you, right?" Naruto asked Sasuke, patting his shoulder.
Sasuke blushed. "Well… I… guess…"
"That's my boy!" he patted harder, making Sasuke lose his balance. "Let's go get you proper clothes!"
***
"Are you sure about this, Naruto senpai?"
Sasuke looked blankly at himself in the mirror. He was wearing an orange jacket, with matching pants; an exact image of Naruto- only replaced with Sasuke's head.
They were at Naruto's house, and he had just lent Sasuke his own stash of clothing.
"Perfect!!!!" Naruto cheered loudly. "I mean, look at us! We're practically cool!"
"Really?" Sasuke's tone turned positively at Naruto's comment.
"Yeah!" he said, holding out a thumbs-up. "To be honest, I think you look a lot cooler than I do, if I say so myself- believe it!"
Sasuke blushed and scratched the back of his head. "Will these really get me girls, Senpai?"
"'Course you will," Naruto smirked. He couldn't believe he was talking about girls with Sasuke. "Now, let's go put our coolness to the test!"
They went outside and luckily enough, Naruto easily spotted the familiar cluster of girls nearby.
"Hello, ladies," Naruto pulled Sasuke by the sleeve as they approached the group. Sasuke timidly gave a faint smile.
The girls squeaked at Sasuke's sudden gesture.
"Is Sasuke alright?" one of them asked.
"There's something wrong with him, I just know it!" another shared.
"I mean, look at that outfit!" one sourly suggested.
"Hey!" Naruto crossed his arms over his chest and pouted at the girls.
Sasuke scratched his head. "Don't they like our look, senpai?"
Another squeak much louder than before were released by the girls.
"He calls Naruto senpai!"
"What happened to Sasuke?!?"
A sweatdrop appeared on Sasuke, apparently confused about what were the girls ranting about. Naruto wished he hadn't thought of the stupid idea in the first place.
"C'mon, Sasuke, let's just get outta here." he turned away and gave Sasuke's sleeve another tug. He was surprised when he felt some resistance. He looked back and saw each of the girls clinging onto Sasuke's other arm.
"You're right! Looks like they appreciate us now, Naruto senpai!" Sasuke shouted between the noisy shrieks. "They won't even let us get away!"
Naruto opted for a tug-o-war between the girls. He pulled harder, amazed on how he was strong enough to beat the force given by several people, since he practically felt himself heave easily.
The girls went onto their screaming, making passersby raise their eyebrows at them.
"Let… go… of Sasuke!" Naruto yelled through gritted teeth. Then suddenly, he felt someone pull together with him. It was Sakura!
"I can't let these pigs have my Sasuke all to themselves!!!" she pulled harder. "Chaaaaaa!"
Naruto felt himself hover a bit from the ground when Sakura's full strength heaved the confused Sasuke away from the girls' grips.
The three of them tumbled back, and the stalker girls angrily stomped away.
Naruto opened his eyes and saw Sakura dusting off her knees.
"Thanks a lot, there, Sakura!" he exclaimed. "You sure saved my butt out there!"
Sakura's hand came crashing down his head. "I did that for Sasuke, you idiot!" she turned to Sasuke, who was lying unconscious on the ground. "Oh no, not again!"
Naruto looked at the orange bundle, "What's up with him getting knocked-out a lot these days?"
"Sasuke!" Sakura bent over him. "Can you hear me Sasuke?"
"Wake up, you wimp- ouch!" Naruto earned a smack on the arm from Sakura. "I mean, wake up… champ…" he wrinkled his nose.
Sakura smiled sarcastically. "That's better."
"Wait, he's coming around, look!"
