Day Seven: Like-Minded
Naruto couldn't remember the exact thought process that had led to this movie—probably some deluded fantasy, idiot—but his firsts thoughts were already fading, and his second thoughts were steadily creeping in. When he'd said research, he'd meant... well, didn't know what his expectations had been.
What he certainly hadn't anticipated, however, was for Sakura to pull out a pad of paper during the movie and eagerly begin taking notes.
"You know," Sakura mused, hastily scribbling. "We've completely overlooked tumbling! Back-handsprings, round-offs... There's still so much!"
Naruto nearly groaned. Sure, he had gladly offered his help, and yeah, he definitely liked having the chance to see Sakura do new, incredible things with her body... but one glance at the space between them on the couch easily dampened his spirits.
...until he saw her transferring the notes to her planner; instead of rewriting her updated plans onto the pages, she had simply marked each training with one word: Naruto.
"Such a great idea!" she pumped the air, laughing quietly with thoughts of small victories undoubtedly on her mind.
Eyes glued to the familiar characters etched into her calendar, Naruto could barely swallow; his thoughts were along the same lines.
