Here's the 7th installment of Innovation. It's pretty long and I attempted to have a lot of Sasuke and Sakura fluff in it. So be happy! (Because I really suck at updating -.- so I apologize for my lack of punctuality.)
Disclaimer: The only thing Naruto I own is a shirt and some cards. Other than that, I own nothing.
Italics – someone is thinking.
Since Naruto, Neji, and Tenten didn't have Chemistry with Ino, she was left sitting by herself near a window. Dreadfully, she waited for class to begin. She was still bent up about the whole Sakura situation and she didn't notice that someone had sat beside her. That someone laid his head down on the table and began sleeping. Once he started snoring, it alerted Ino of his presence. She looked down at the desk next to her and scowled.
"Shikamaru, who said you could sit by me?" She said in disgust. Shikamaru, interrupted from his dormant sleep, growled.
"This is a free country, you troublesome woman."
"That doesn't mean you can sit by me." Ino huffed out. Shikamaru lifted his head off the desk and stared Ino in the eyes.
"Too bad." He muttered out and laid a hand on his face. Ino shrieked out in aggravation and started yelling out profanities toward Shikamaru who in turn, ignored her. After a while, Ino realized the boy was ignoring her and her pleads for having him move and stopped. She brought her hands to her face and began screaming. Shikamaru stared dubiously at her.
"You have some serious problems."
"Shut up, you loser! Don't talk to me! Don't look at me! Don't interact with me in any way!" She continued screaming into her hands and brought out the frustration that she was holding in. Shikamaru began to ignore her once again and glanced out the window. The clouds were looking nice today. With that thought, he closed his eyes in exhaustion and fell asleep again. Ino, on the other hand, halted her screaming and glanced at the boy next to her. He wasn't paying any attention to her. She slapped him in the head to wake up him. He groggily looked up and glared at her.
"Stop waking me up."
"Talk to me, you bum." Ino looked so desperate as she requested this. Shikamaru almost felt sorry for her. Where were her other friends? What about Sakura?
"I thought you said to not interact with you."
"I lied, now come on. Talk to me about something." Her eyes flickered in anticipation, waiting for him to say something.
"Talking takes too much work." Shikamaru replied casually. Ino slapped him in the head once again.
"Seriously Shikamaru!" Shikamaru idly gave a look of displease.
"What do you want from me, woman?" Ino opened her mouth to retort something but couldn't find any words. She slumped her shoulders in defeat and decided to stay quiet. She really felt like nobody was on her side. She was always a shadow compared to Sakura. Ino was fairly popular, but she was popular for the wrong reasons. People had thought of her as the bitch of the school, beside Kin of course. And she got her way with her aggressiveness. She wasn't sure if people even liked her for her or if they just liked her because of her popularity and the fact that she was best friends with Sakura. Ino considered the thought of maybe changing, acting a bit nicer to everyone. It would probably help people to like her and get to know the real her, like Tenten and the rest of the group did. She breathed in one deep breath and turned towards Shikamaru. The boy scrunched his eyes at her, unsure of what she was going to do.
"I'm sorry."
"..What?" Shikamaru blinked while continuing to look at the girl before him with a shocked expression. Ino rolled her eyes.
"Stop with that look! All I said was sorry, is that so hard to believe?"
"Uh, YAH?"
"Well you better believe it." Ino crossed her arms and turned her head boldly.
"Hm," Shikamaru paused before nodding in response, "I suppose I will."
"Better!" Ino shouted out. There was a brief silence that followed and they both watched each other awkwardly. Ino turned her attention to her hair and twirled a strand of hair in between her thumb and index finger. Shikamaru observed her face and raised a questioning eyebrow.
"What're you apologizing for anyway?" The blonde looked up from her hair twirling and pursed her lips together. She contemplated on her answer for a few minutes before replying back.
"Everything… I guess."
"Oh." Another long silence ensued. But it was a comfortable one and Ino turned her head away as a hint of a smirk had forced itself on her face as she watched Shikamaru's confused face from the corner of her eye.
As they sat waiting, Sasuke and Sakura had walked into the classroom. One looking cool and composed while the other nervously had her head down, cheeks a warming red. The walk to Chemistry with Sasuke had made Sakura all fidgety and she was stuck on the thought of what could have happened if the bell hadn't rung. She didn't want to ask though, thinking it'd be ridiculous and she didn't want to embarrass herself. So she settled on just avoiding it all together and resume to their normal activities.
Sasuke sat down in his usual desk and Sakura sat beside him. Of course, fan girls crowded around them and left Sakura in even more stress than before. All these girls, and a lot of them were good-looking. Good-looking enough to take Sasuke away from her. Well not that he was hers to begin with but after hanging out with him numerous times, she was comfortable with the fact that he was more hers than anyone else's. Atleast for now. That might change later though. Sakura thought with disdain. With a sigh she solemnly took out her notebook and prepared for class to start. Sasuke peered at her through the corner of his eye and wondered what was wrong with her. He made a note to ask her later. He would've asked her now except for the fact that fan girls were surrounding their desks. Ch. Stupid girls.
At the end of 8th period, Sasuke walked out of his classroom and went towards his locker. When he arrived, he noticed there were cards, notes, and other things taped to his locker. It was even worse when he opened it. There were plenty more notes and somehow a box of chocolates and a balloon had found it's way in there. How the heck is that possible? He shrugged it off and just pushed everything out of the way so he could grab his books and head home. When he shut his locker closed and turned around, he was surprised to find a head of pink hair and bright green eyes staring expectantly at him.
"Uh. Hi?"
"Do you need a ride home?" Sakura asked sweetly. Sasuke gave an odd look and started to walk away.
"No."
"Aw come on! You can't walk home!" Sakura yelled out, following behind. Sasuke waved his hand and kept on walking.
"Sasuke! Stop!"
"Hn."
"Atleast wait up for me!" She started running to catch up with Sasuke but somehow he had walked a great distance in such a short amount of time, Sakura lost track of him. Damn that guy is fast! She turned a corner and barely saw him walking out of the school doors.
"GEEZUS! STOP WALKING SO FAST YOU ASSHOLE!" She ran as fast as she could and slammed the doors open. Looking around, she couldn't find Sasuke anywhere in sight. What? He was just here a minute ago..
"Ugh! That bastard. Left me all alone. I was just trying to be nice and offer a ride but no; he just declined and left me in the dust. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid!" Sakura muttered under her breath.
"You were saying?" Sasuke walked out from behind a brick wall. Sakura jumped at the sound of his voice and turned around to face him.
"What the hell?! Did you want me to piss my pants or something?" Sakura shrieked out. Sasuke rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Yes Sakura. That's precisely what I wanted you to do. Getting a girl to piss her pants from being scared shitless is an abnormal fantasy of mine." He spat out sarcastically.
"Ha ha. Very funny." Sakura crossed her arms and glared back at the Uchiha. He in turn, shrugged his shoulders and began walking the opposite direction.
"Wait Uchiha!" Sasuke stopped at the sudden demand and waited for Sakura to come towards him.
"Don't walk. Just let me give you a ride." She insisted, pouting her face and fluttering her eyelashes to add effect and maybe convince Sasuke to come with her. Sasuke stood there for a moment and contemplated on the offer. He shoved a hand in his pocket while still carrying his books in the other. He spun around to face Sakura and positioned his face rather close to hers to whisper in her ear, obviously making Sakura feel very uncomfortable.
"Are you trying to seduce me, Haruno?" Sasuke said in a low, alluring voice. Sakura's cheeks warmed up to a pale shade of pink. She opened her mouth to retort something but the close proximity of Sasuke's face near hers, distracted her from any witty comeback she could come up with. The only word that would come out of her mouth was a silent and confused,
"Huh?" Sasuke smirked in success of throwing Sakura off guard and moved away swiftly.
"Bye." He slowly walked away and counted the seconds in his head until Sakura finally realized he was gone and far away from where he was previously standing. She blinked a couple times before running to catch up with him.
"Hey! You tricked me!" She cried out while pointing a finger to him. Sasuke kept on walking, ignoring anything and everything that she was saying.
"Come back here!"
"Why?"
"Because you're a jerk and you need to apologize for trying to distract me!" Sasuke smirked and turned around once again to face Sakura.
"I wasn't trying to distractyou, I was just asking a simple question." He said casually. Sakura gave him a look of disbelief.
"Yah, okay! You purposely asked me that so you could get away."
"Not my fault you get flustered easily." Sakura gaped and turned her head hastily. She mumbled to herself for quite a long time while Sasuke watched amusedly. And after a few minutes of uncomfortable silence and Sasuke getting bored of waiting for Sakura to recompose herself, he spoke up.
"How about you just walk with me." Sasuke asked unexpectedly. Sakura looked up from where she was standing and gave a look of bewilderment. It took her a moment to respond because the suddenness of the question.
"..What about my ca-"
"You can get it later." Sakura didn't even have time to react when Sasuke took a hold of her arm and pulled her towards the direction of his house.
"What do you think you're trying to do here?!" Sakura screamed out in resistance while trying to skid her shoes to a stop on the pavement but to no avail, Sasuke was obviously stronger. He just towed her along like she was extra luggage. He didn't even bother answering back and dragged her along to the sidewalk. After too many attempts to come to a halt and all failing miserably, Sakura willingly let Sasuke take her with. She decided she could just get someone to pick up the car for her afterward. For now, she was just going to have to go along with Sasuke to she supposed his house since that was the way that they were going.
Plus the little voice inside her head didn't mind having Sasuke's masculine hands hold her arm so tightly like he didn't want to let go. Like someone who was afraid that at any moment their lover would make a run for it. It reminded her of something coming from a romance novel. And it made her feel like they were actually together, he holding her tenderly (well sort of, she might have imagined the 'tenderly' part), walking down the street. (Although it looked more as if he was taking her hostage than an affectionate pair.) But with that bizarre thought, it somehow made her feel more at ease. And she sniggered silently to herself while she watched random girls on the street ogle at her and Sasuke. One girl even had the nerve to come up to them and ask if they were really a couple. In which Sakura blushed heatedly to the question and Sasuke paid no heed. That triggered Sakura into fantasizing about being an actual couple and she smiled helplessly at the idea.
"Girls are really stupid." Sasuke uttered out loud as soon as the random girl went away. Sakura who was not paying attention glanced up at him in question. It took a few moments till she grasped what he had said and she removed her arm from his clutch to hit him roughly on the back. He being his arrogant self pretended he didn't feel anything and didn't even glimpse down at the pink haired girl. That irritated Sakura even more and this time she pushed him off balance. He almost tripped but this was Sasuke, and he was always poise so he brushed it off and still pretended like nothing happened. Although he did mutter under his breath.
"This is why girls are stupid." Unfortunately, an angered Sakura heard anyway.
"Excuse me?! You do realize I am a girl."
"Sorry, could've fooled me." Sasuke spoke in a mocking manner.
"Oh you're going to wish you never said that." Sakura hissed out menacingly as she pushed up the sleeves of her sweater.
"Tch. I'm not afraid of you." With that said, Sasuke walked away not realizing a fuming Sakura was following behind. He could hear her but he didn't feel like waiting up. Again. Because really, this girl was a slow walker and he wished she would learn how to walk faster to atleast catch up with him. Well pretty soon Sasuke got exactly what he wished for and just when he least expected it, Sakura ran up behind him and tackled him. Then as he tried to get up, she pushed him back down with her knee.
"Sakura." Sasuke snarled through his clenched teeth. There's no way in hell I'm getting thrashed about by a girl.
"Yes Sasuke, my dear." Sakura grinned triumphantly. Her grin widened as she watched Sasuke's livid face when she called him dear. She removed her knee from his back and instead, opted to sit on him. Onlookers observed interestedly, enjoying the fact that Sakura was being the dominant one. But Sasuke was not going to take this. He was not going to stand for this! (and because he really couldn't at the moment.) He was a man! And men did not let women take over and sit on top of their backs. Especially when they were wearing brand new gap khaki pants! They were expensive. And if he weren't so stupid and had just let Sakura buy his clothes, he wouldn't have cared.
He was getting quite dirty and frustrated, lying in the grass. So Sasuke, not minding whether Sakura was going to get hurt or not; twisted around, grabbed Sakura by the waist, and flipped her over so that she was lying on her back and he was hovering over her. Sakura's grin dramatically changed to that of a shocked expression. Sasuke smirked victoriously and playfully pushed a strand of hair out of Sakura's eyes. Surprisingly, she didn't blush at his touch. But there were butterflies in her stomach.
"Sakura, you imprudent, persistent girl. You will never win." And even though Sakura was in some way, defeated, she couldn't help but giggle at Sasuke's oh so ludicrous superiority. Sasuke rolled his eyes at her pettiness and rose from their position. He thought about leaving her there so she could fend for herself but he was already holding out his hand for hers to take before he could stop himself. When she grabbed on, he lifted her up from the ground and immediately started walking away, not realizing that their hands were still intact. Sakura on the other hand, noticed this small detail and couldn't help the cartwheels her stomach was producing.
"You totally suck."
"Excuse me?"
"It's obvious you cheated." Sakura stated, crossing her arms in the process. Sasuke raised one fine eyebrow, giving her a look of disdain. They were both sitting on his bed, staring intensely at each other.
"You're mistaken, Sakura. I think you just suck that much at videogames." Sasuke voiced out, closing his eyes in fatigue. Sakura made an oval shape with her mouth and hit Sasuke squarely in the shoulder.
"I do not! I just.. haven't played in a while! Best two out of three!" Sakura said, trying to persuade Sasuke into playing again. He ignored her request and responded with his eyes still shut.
"No. That's what you said the last 37 times I beat you. And you still haven't gotten any better."
"You totally suck." Sakura pouted, jutting her bottom lip out.
"So I've heard." Sasuke numbly situated himself so he was lying down instead of sitting and placed his arms to rest behind his head. He was awfully tired from engaging in videogames the whole afternoon. He was surprised that Sakura even liked videogames. She didn't seem like the type. But still, that didn't change the fact that she was horrible at them and had made him play till their hands felt like they were about to fall off and that didn't even stop her from wanting to play more.
An exhausted Sakura yawned beside the Uchiha and he briefly opened his eyes to glance at her.
"You're tired." It came out more of a statement than a question but Sakura nodded her head in reply anyway. She spent about 3 consecutive hours playing videogames with Sasuke. Of course she was tired. And she still had homework to do.
"So maybe you should go to sleep." Sasuke said, implying that she should go to her own home and sleep there but Sakura misunderstood the command and lay down alongside Sasuke. Even though his eyes were shut, he could feel the weight of Sakura's body next to him, and he suddenly began to feel a bit anxious.
"…Yah, that's not what I meant." He murmured. Sakura took no notice of Sasuke's discomfort and ruffled her hand through his hair.
"Oh don't sweat it. I'm just going to take a nap, I'll be gone before you know it!"
"No, because I don't want to be responsible if you oversleep." Sasuke scoffed out.
"Shush. I will not. I'll make sure of it!"
"Hn." Even though Sasuke totally disliked the idea of Sakura staying longer to take a stupid nap, he decided to just let it go. He didn't feel like arguing anyway. So they both made themselves comfortable on Sasuke's bed with Sakura as far away as possible from him. It was her idea but she still felt weird and didn't want to be too comfortable. She was only taking an hour nap and then she was going to go home.
"Put an alarm on."
"Sasuke, I'm capable of waking myself up."
"Just do it."
"Ergh. You're so difficult." Sakura said, quickly setting an alarm on her phone to wake herself up. Once everything was set, Sakura rested her eyes and began drifting to sleep. But unfortunately for her, she didn't realize that the alarm was set to 7:20 AM and not PM.
"Sakura."
"Mmmm."
"Wake up, you sleepy head." Hey that's my line.. Sakura thought to herself dreamily.
"Nooooo." Sakura was just not a morning person. She wasn't sure what time it was but she was pretty sure she didn't feel like getting up. Sasuke on the other hand was determined to get her to.
"Sakura, please."
"Nooooo."
"I'm going get you to wake up."
"Hmph."
"What if.. I make you chocolate chip waffles." Sasuke offered.
"Nuhhh."
"..okay what about if I pour ice cold water on your head."
"Pfft."
"How about I jump on you."
"Mrrgg." Even though Sakura was half asleep, she was somewhat aware of what was going on and couldn't help but laugh on the inside at how ridiculous this situation seemed to be. Plus she wasn't even sure what she was saying.
"Tickle you?"
"Ughhh."
"Hn. How do you get good grades in school when you talk like that?"
"Blehh."
"Alright. What is it gonna take to get you to wake up?" Sasuke said in an annoyed tone.
"…"
"..?"
"..mmhmm."
"What's that? I don't speak idiot."
"Kishhmehhh."
"Sorry, that was incomprehensible. Repeat?"
"Mmmjuskishemeh."
"Please Sakura, I can't understand your mumbling." Sasuke was getting really irritated. He was tempted to just shake her till she woke up.
"Arrghhjustdoitdamnitmhnmdfgh."
"What?"
"Oh my gosh, just kiss me!" Sakura shouted out as she opened her eyes and sat up quickly. It took a minute before everything sunk in and she realized what she had just said to Sasuke.
"…"
"…"
"Did you just say.."
"No.."
"..Hn."
"Uhm." Boy this is embarrassing. Sakura thought to herself.
"Yah."
"I-I'm sorry."
"…"
"I'm so stupid. Just forget I said anything."
"Sakura.."
"What? Are you going to punch me because I totally understand if you want to."
"No." Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Never talk to me again? Yah, totally deserve that."
"No, Sakura just listen."
"You know what? I'll just punch myself in the face."
"…"
"Or better yet, we pretend this never happened and you won't ever have to hang out with me again and I won't annoy you anymore and-"
"Sakura!" Sasuke cut her off by putting his hand to her mouth. A muffled squeak was heard and Sasuke waited a few seconds before finally deciding to let his hand drop.
"What..?"
"Close your eyes, stupid."
"What?! What for? You just called me stupid."
"I thought you wanted me to kiss you, you dummy."
"I.. what? No.. I mean yah. I mean uhh.." Sakura looked away in embarrassment.
"Hn. You're cute when you're flustered." Sasuke smirked in a teasing fashion.
"Sasuke.."
"I want to tell you something."
"Yes.." Sakura looked up into Sasuke's dark, intimidating eyes and moved closer towards his face with eyes half lidded. Sasuke breathed in, slowly edging nearer.
"I lo-"
*THUMP*
"Owwie…" Sakura mumbled as she massaged the side of her head.
"Uh Sakura. It's past 7:20."
"Gosh, so what? Doesn't mean you should push me off your bed." Sakura said in a hoarse voice, glaring at Sasuke.
"Hn whatever."
"Yah you wouldn't care. Ugh. I was having such a good dream.." Sakura blushed as she remembered what her dream was about.
"That's great. I'm pretty sure everyone in the room doesn't care." Sasuke voiced out.
"What? There's no one else in this room except me and you."
"Exactly. I don't care and you don't matter." Sakura scowled, glaring at Sasuke heatedly while throwing a pillow at his head.
"Asshole.. what time is it anyway? How late am I?" Sasuke shrugged his shoulders.
"Wow you're a lot of help." Sakura bit out sarcastically. She stood up, brushed herself off and sat back down on Sasuke's bed. She looked to the side and reached for her phone to check the time. Her face quickly changed from annoyance to shock once she read the small, brightly illuminated numbers on her phone screen.
"It's-I just-I can't believe.. Oh GOD! SASUKE I SLEPT TOO LONG" Sakura screamed out at the top of her lungs. Sasuke, from the other side of the bed, dashed towards her and grabbed her shoulders so he could get a hold of her face and clasp his hand on her mouth.
"Shut up!" Sasuke whispered out quite loudly. Sakura tried getting out of his grasp but Sasuke was too strong. She squirmed around, thrashing her arms up and down, trying to yell out profanities towards the high heavens but Sasuke kept his hold and prevented her from almost waking up the whole house. He cursed to himself wondering why the hell did he let her take a stupid nap at his house. He knew it was a bad idea but his fatigue ruled out the best of him. It took a couple of minutes but Sakura finally calmed down. Sasuke hesitantly let go of her and took his hand off her mouth before waiting for her to reply.
"Sasuke.. It's 4:17 in the morning." Sakura said with a blank look on her face.
"Yah. I know." Why the hell would he wake her up if he didn't already know that? Stupid girl.
"I have not gone home yet."
"Really, I didn't seem to notice."
"Oh my gosh. My parents are going to kill me if they find out!" Sakura quietly hushed out in a whisper, ignoring Sasuke's sarcastic comments. Sasuke was glad she hadn't yelled that one out.
"I told you to put an alarm on." Sasuke said all knowingly. Sakura turned to look at him but instead of glaring at him like Sasuke expected, tears began to sprout out from the corner of her eyes. He braced himself for a fountain show and asked himself what he was supposed to say in a situation like this. Damn him for not being good with words.
"Sasuke," Sakura muffled out with a sniffle, "I'm going to be in so much trouble." Sasuke sat there, not knowing what to say.
"Why didn't my phone alarm go off.." Sakura questioned to herself. She pressed a few buttons on her blackberry and checked the alarm on it to see what time she set it to. She berated herself as she saw the alarm time that she put. Sasuke watched curiously to see what she was going to do next but she didn't do anything. She sat there just staring blankly towards the blue painted walls.
"Sakura."
"Yes?"
"..." Sasuke wasn't sure what he was supposed to say. He opened his mouth again but nothing came out. Instead he tentatively put a hand to her back and patted it awkwardly. He didn't know what was going to happen because frankly he never had a girl accidentally sleep over his house and didn't know what Sakura's parents would do to her or even him if they found out. Even so, Sakura finally came to her senses and jumped up, quickly grabbing her belongings and putting her shoes and jacket on.
"I'm going to go." She didn't even give him time to say goodbye before she opened up his door and shuffled silently down the stairs towards the front door. He opted to just let her leave and go back to sleep then check up on her later when he wasn't so tired but the rational side of him made him get up and go follow after to make sure she was alright now. He found her halfway out the door but she wasn't moving. She stood there, one foot on the front step of his house and the other still inside. Sasuke walked down the stairs to see what was wrong when Sakura took her hand off the door handle and walked back in. She slapped her hand to her forehead and kicked her shoes off while setting her stuff on the ground.
"I thought you were leaving." Sasuke said from one of the steps on the stairs. Sakura ignored him and pushed past, walking back towards his room. Sasuke stood there for a moment, confused. He soon followed after and closed the door to his room once they were both in it. He was just about to say something but Sakura beat him to it.
"My car's not here." Sakura whispered. Sasuke finally realized why she hadn't left yet. He had definitely forgotten that they both walked to his house and that she had left her car at school. He mentally slapped himself for not reminding her to get her car back. For once, Sasuke was the one feeling stupid. Not only did he forget about her car, he forgot that his house was a ways off from the school. He didn't mind walking because he liked the exercise and he was used to the distance but Sakura on the other hand probably wasn't and she was a slow walker so it would take her a while to get to her car. Plus any towing place was closed and Sakura couldn't call anyone because it was so early in the morning.
"I'm.. sorry." That was all Sasuke could muster out and say. Sakura knew he wasn't good with words but an "I'm sorry" wasn't going to fix anything. She roughly tugged a handful of hair with both hands and lay down on Sasuke's bed.
"What am I supposed to do?" She rubbed her temple and felt that she was about to cry again when she felt a shifting of weight beside her and looked up to see Sasuke. He had this guilty look on his face, which surprised Sakura because she never thought she'd ever see Sasuke looking guilty. In fact, she thought he would be a jerk and scold her for being so irresponsible but instead he stayed silent and gently pulled her up and off the bed. She didn't know what he was doing but she let him guide her to wherever they were going.
He grabbed some keys off the nightstand and steered her out of his room and back down the stairs. They stopped at the front door and he let go of Sakura's hand so she could put her shoes on and get her stuff. When she was done, he didn't hesitate to take back her hand. They didn't go out through the front door but walked through the living room, kitchen, and then out the garage door to where Sasuke unlocked the doors of a black 2008 Audi R8.
"Is this your car?" Sakura curiously asked. Sasuke nodded and opened the passenger door so Sakura could get in. Sakura was surprised to see the car. She remembered Sasuke saying something about having driven before in one of their sparse conversations but she didn't know he had his own car. It was a really nice car too so she couldn't understand why he liked to walk. He must be crazy. He lived so far away too but she didn't say anything and just admired the upholstery and the inside of the Audi. Sasuke turned the engine on and opened the garage with a garage opener attached to the sun visor. He reversed out of the garage and out into the street. He was about to push the gear into drive but Sakura grabbed his arm.
"Where are we going?"
"To get your car."
A solemn 'oh' was all Sasuke heard and turned towards Sakura with a raised eyebrow.
"What are you so glum about," Sasuke pushed the shift stick into drive but still pressing on the brakes, "I'm driving you to your car so you don't have to walk in the cold dark."
"I know.."
"So then what're you frowning for?" Sakura sighed and gazed out of her window.
"I know I'll probably get in a lot of trouble and all, but I kind of wanted to hang out for a little bit longer.." Sakura murmured. Sasuke gave a deadpanned stare before rolling his eyes and lifting his foot off the brake and pressing the gas pedal.
"Okay, I get your point. We don't have to, just take me to my car."
"Fine I will," Sasuke uttered out, "but we're going to get breakfast first." He glanced at Sakura and saw her mouth slowly morph into a smile.
"Really?! Thank you Sasuke! I really appreciate it."
"Tch." He disregarded her sudden change of mood and kept looking down at the road, driving to the nearest Denny's but he couldn't help letting a hint of a smirk grace his features.
