(A/N): As promised, I have changed my format, and I will add foot notes whenever necessary.
: Living With the Idiot :
Ever since the three semesters ended in a flash, Sakura and Naruto's relationship has improved slightly. In Saturdays, they invite Sasuke to go bowling, or go have picnic on the Konohagure Park, have smoothies or ice cream,or have a group study for the upcoming examinations. Sakura wasn't stressed at all, since she doesn't have trouble in her studies. Her former school always gave her a pile of homeworks, research projects, paperwork, etcetera. Her friends doesn't even care about them. They always yell "YOLO" when they have a low grade, which made her uneasy a little.
Monday is the start of the examination week, which is about 3 days from now. Sakura calmly reads her book while Naruto, Sasuke, and Ino were crumpled on the mahogany table with an enormous collection of books, Sakura' test papers, and Sasuke's laptop on the other side. Naruto kept on whining, Sasuke kept on bonking him on the head, while Ino just sipped on her mango smoothie she bought minutes ago.
Sakura sweatdropped, observing the idiotic looks that they gave to her. They frowned, confused why she hasn't been cramming for the forthcoming exam. She shrugged and went back to her book.
"I CAN'T UNDERSTAND A SINGLE THING IN THIS!" Naruto cried angrily, shoving his books on the floor and crossing his arms childishly. Sasuke sighed and studied Biology for the second exam. "I don't even know what to study…" Ino murmured, as a result having her face shoved with a list. She grunted, and looked at the paper.
Monday : Biology & Mathematics
Tuesday : Chemistry & History
Wednesday : Literature & Religious Studies
Thursday : Physics
She scanned the topics for the following subjects, and the trio near her swore that they heard a slight burst from her. She suddenly planted her body down, groaning in frustration as confusing topics danced on her vision. "I can't do it anymore…"
"YOLO!" Naruto yelled, grinning sheepishly then back to concentrating on the math problems. "How do you do this so easily, Sakura-chan?" Naruto groaned, brushing the hair away from his eyes and stared at the pinkette. A lightbulb popped from his head and he smirked. The raven saw it, and he swallowed. "Naruto…" The blonde snapped his head to him, an evil smile forming his lips. "Shh…"
He stealthily crawled towards the bed where Sakura read her book quietly. His foot steps not heard, and it was perfect. He jumped to her and grabbed the book out of her hands. "HEY!" She yelled, wrestling Naruto on the ground and reaching for her favorite book. "NARUTOOOOO!" She screamed, bonking his head and hastily grabbed her book back. He groaned, trying to laugh while rubbing the sore lump from his head. "Sakura-chaaan… Help us here!" Naruto whined, grabbing her legs and trying to halt her.
This resulted to Sakura blushing, and hitting his head once more. "You baka!" She snapped, pushing him away and having a seat beside Naruto's. She looked at his notes and books, and noticed that she is on the first chapter. Her eyes narrowed, pointing a daggered look to Naruto before sighing heavily.
"Fine. Who wants to join?" Everyone raised their hands and she hummed. 'Idiots… I swear I' m gonna die…'

"So you mean that you have to solve this first, then adding the final answer to the other one. Then the process repeats?" Sasuke asked, earning a nod from the pinkette. She sighed wearily, grabbing a milk from the small fridge. She looked at the expiration date and sighed. "Naruto."
"Hm?"
"Did you notice this?" She pointed at the date, and a pregnant silence ensued.
"…Excuse me." He hurriedly went out of the room, before a burst of laughter resounded from the room. "That dobe!" Sasuke cried, chuckling before going back to solving. The two lassies, on the other hand, are almost dying from laughter. "H-he went to t-take a shit!" Sakura gasped, wiping a tear or two before thumping her heart to calm down.
Ino's laugh faded, and another series of laughs produced again as the blonde came back. "Hehehe…" Naruto laughed, a blush forming from his whiskered cheeks as he took a seat next to Sakura. Sakura just giggled, then went back to teaching him.
Sasuke moved his eyes to Sakura, who was pink from the closeness of the two. A feeling washed to him, spreading like wildfire as he went back to his book. He was jealous, all right. The blonde is merely steps away from getting her. Sasuke liked her a bit, but then something kept him away from her. Naruto.
Sakura giggled again as a confused look was etched on Naruto's face, trying to repeat the same process over and over again until he got it. 'But he's a total idiot.' Sasuke thought bitterly. 'He doesn't deserve her.'
"I finally get it!" Naruto declared, pointing a finger above, his cerulean eyes shining in victory. "YES! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH, SAKURA-CHAAAAN!" He yelled, hugging Sakura tightly and made her blush madly.
Sasuke closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, feeling an oncoming head ache from this session. He felt sorry for Sakura. She's going to be worn out because of that idiot.

Ino went back to her dorm, Sasuke stayed at Naruto and Sakura's room for a while, Sakura already took a bath and is ready to sleep, while Naruto had fell asleep seconds ago. Sasuke stayed and asked questions about Biology. He doesn't even understand how the process of photosynthesis and the Dark Phase occur. So much elements were implanted, and his onyx eyes almost went astray. Sakura wore her white hoodie and pink shorts, since it's a bit cold. She doesn't understand how the stupid air conditioner even work.
"Glycolysis occurs first, then the glucose will split into two, then it would become pyruvic acid…" Sakura's words faded in and out, his eyes drooping every now and then. "Sasuke?" His eyes bore at her emerald eyes, and he realized how beautiful her eyes were. The green depths remind him of the green pastured his father once owned, the beauty of nature was just her gaze. All you could do is stare.
"You wanna sleep here?" He nodded, blinking so many times and trying to supress his somnolence. He was dragged to another bed, the fluffy sheets making him want to fade from reality. The soft pillows caressing his cheeks and another warm source just beside him, tempting him to grab it. Once he embraced it, he disappeared from consciousness.

The next morning, his onyx eyes blinked open from the sound of birds chirping an unknown melody, a sympathy that paints the sun golden with pride. He squinted from the bright light escaping from the windows, the window shades blocking some of the rays of sunshine. He noticed his surroundings, but he wasn't in his and Shikamaru's room. He's in dobe and Sakura's dorm.
He looked beside him, and saw his arms wrapped around the tiny figure, her pink hair spread on the pillows and the cotton blankets clothing her body, leaving her face exposed to the sunlight. She started to stir, and he tried to block the rays from her face. She stirred, and moved her body to the other side.
Wrong mistake.
She fell from the bed, and he realized that there was a little space between them, and the bed is just too small. Sakura groaned, laying down on the floor and trying to sit upwards. "18 times… I swear." She murmured, stretching her arms and legs and stood up and stretched again. Her sleepy eyes dragged towards his, and he swore something triggered behind it. "Oh…"
She didn't panick, scream, or even whisper bloody murder. She just smiled and greeted good morning. He grunted in return, and cracked his back and sighed. "I should go back." He whispered, standing up from the bed and stretching also. She nodded and prepared coffee, asking him if he could come over again and continue their studies. He agreed, and he went to his room quietly.

Naruto groaned as the sound of the beeping of the microwave and the smell of freshly brewed coffee lingered his nose. He felt uneasy from sleeping on his clothes, he forgot to remove his belt last night, which made him slap his forehead in annoyance.
"Take a bath, Naruto. We'll continue our studies. You slept fast last night." Sakura said, fully awake, pouring her morning coffee on her favorite red mug and grabbing her hot tuna sandwich from the microwave. "Ino will also come over. Sasuke too." She confirmed, looking at her phone and texting someone back in a fast pace. Naruto swore she texted something like "luv luv kiss kiss". She couldn't possibly text it to Sasuke, right?
He grabbed his clothes from his closet and went to the bathroom. He took a bath, brushed his teeth, applied deodorant that smelled like processed perfume, and dressed in his Saturday clothes. White shirt and orange khaki shorts.
He exited the bathroom just in time when Sakura finished her morning meal. "There's coffee there. Just grab the ham & cheese sandwich there. Or cup ramen." She mumbled, grabbing her clothes then going to the bathroom.
He hummed his favorite song, Demons by Imagine Dragons. He hummed the lyrics and tapped his fingers on the mahogany table as the irresistible beat comes and he loudly sang the lyrics.
"When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide!"
He sang too loud that he didn't notice someone snuck in to their room and hit his head hard. "GWAAH! THE HELL?" Naruto looked at the intruder, and saw Sasuke in his black khakis and yellow shirt. "Dobe. You want to make a storm here?" Naruto pouted, crossing his arms childishly. "It's not my fault that I don't have a talent for singing so GOOD." He snapped, throwing away the plastic cover of his sandwich and munched hungrily. He poured a generous amount of coffee, tapped some sugar and drank it.
"Where's Sakura?" The raven questioned, dropping his books on the carpet and sat down. He sat indian-style and rested his arms on the table. The blonde threw away the wrapping paper, sipping the last drop of his coffee before rinsing it clean. "She's on the shower." He replied quietly.
Sasuke nodded and opened his Biology book. 'This is gonna be a long day.'
