The next morning I woke up with Sasuke's hand still around my ankle, but I managed last night to steal some of Itachi's blanket so I wouldn't be cold. But I ended up taking him and the blanket, so he was beside me, hugging me and snoring. This didn't bother me at all, I was used to it, sometime Itachi would end up in my bed- since we share a room and all- and I would just sleep soundly.
Itachi groaned and stretched, taking his arm off of me, he got up and went up-stairs. I pretended to be asleep until I heard the up-stairs bathroom door close. I peeked out, looking to see if the coast was clear, and it was so I struggled to get up, slipping my ankle out of Sasuke's hand. I succeeded and ran up-stairs too, meeting Itachi in a towel at our bedroom door.
"Good Morning!" I said and he just nodded, walking past me getting something from Sasuke's room. When he walked out of there I saw a birthday present, wrapped in pink and yellow ribbons. I opened the box and held up a pair of ice skates.
"Once again, Sakura! Happy birthday! We are going ice skating at noon, so get ready!" He yelled, making me close my eyes and sigh, I was bad at ice skating, and he knew it.
After about an hour Sasuke and Naruto woke up and started making their way up-stairs and look at the skates I was staring at on my bed.
"So he gave them to you? Or did you find them?" I heard Sasuke ask, but his eyes weren't in contact with mine, making my heart settle down just a little.
"Oh, these?" I held them up and he nodded, "Yeah, Itachi gave them to me. Apparently we are going ice skating at noon and it is currently..." I said, looking at the clock on my night stand. "Eleven twenty four, so we better get ready."
"Damn, I wanted breakfast..." Naruto said, "Hey Sakura-Chan, would it be ok if Hinata came?" He blushed by just saying her name, my giggles started again.
"Sure, Naruto why not? It would be good if I am not the only girl there. Is she... you know... good at skating?" I asked him, but he scratched his head, grinning. "Dear lord, I suck..." I said, falling back on the bed.
We were in the rink, tying our skates, Hinata had done hers already. I looked at my feet, they... no comment, I can't skate for my life.
"You ready?" I heard Itachi say, he had an evil grin on his face. My face went pale, of all the things for my birthday!
"Uh, I-I..." I said, I was going to get him for this.
"Leave her alone Itachi, she obviously isn't ready. Here, I know what, you guys go on ahead, and I'll do her skates." Sasuke said, making my heart jump and then my face turned tomato red once he knelt down to tie my skates.
Once he was done, he offered his hand to me and I took it. "T-thanks." I said quietly.
I got cold quickly; I only had on a long sleeve shirt and jeans. Then something was on my head, I took it off and looked to see what it was. It was Sasuke's sweatshirt, I blushed, he was being way too sweet to me! I squealed- mentally of course, I didn't want Sasuke or anybody else to think I was a freak-, this was, by far the best birthday ever!
"Are you going to stand there all day? Or put it on?" I heard Itachi say from afar, making me get a little pissed. Just ruin the moment Itachi, thank you. I put it on, and I was perfectly warm, his navy sweatshirt... smelled so good. Like, what a minute, is that smell tomatoes?
"Come on Sakura-Chan!" I heard Naruto say, he was skating backwards, I think showing off to Hinata, who was spinning in a small, tight circle.
"I'm coming!" I yelled, but once I got there -after about three minutes of stumbling-, I waited for Hinata to stop spinning. "Hey, Hinata... will you teach me how to spin? Or just skate and not fall?" I asked, very embarrassed.
"S-sure thing." She said, and told me to watch her. I nodded, but she fell on Naruto who wasn't watching where he was going, making me giggle. They were both very red and were frozen, like statues, just gazing in each others eyes. I sighed, I lost my sensei...
"Um, Sakura I can teach you how to skate." Sasuke said, then I felt a hand on my shoulder, I was now boiling hot, and the butterflies in my stomach were back.
