Eight-year-old, Haruno Sakura wanted this moment to be perfect. She had planned it out through the weekend and was determined to go through it, no matter what. Sakura put on her best clothing and wrapped a long red ribbon in her hair to pull back her bangs. She had to look her best for this occasion.
Her mother insisted that she was too-young and that she should wait until she was older to ask this "Sasuke boy" out to lunch. As Sakura began to add the finishing touches to getting ready, her mother continued to complain and suggested that she asked Sasuke to play at the park or have some form of a play-date before going out to lunch with each other. Her mother couldn't understand why every girl was interested in this "Sasuke boy" anyway. He was just another boy, and plenty like him would come along.
"It's just lunch." Sakura said in an optimistic voice as she jumped up from slipping her shoes on. She then grabbed a rather tiny heart-shaped box.
"Just lunch? Then why are you bringing him chocolates?" Her mother said in a cute laugh.
Underneath Sakura's eyes, small pink patches formed. "Because, I thought it would be polite."
Making sure she had everything, Sakura happily walked out the door. Going through her plan through her head over and over again until she came to Sasuke's house. With much courage, she walked up the front steps and faced the door.
You can do it, Sakura. Just knock on the door and ask him it he wants to go have natto with you.
She took a deep breath and curled her small hand into a fist before knocking on the door three times in a pattern.
She didn't have to wait long before Sasuke answered the door with a very confused look upon his youthful face.
"H-hi, Sasuke." Sakura said in a quiet tone and clutched the box in her hands tighter.
"Hi..." He replied, still confused looking.
Sakura swallowed the lump in her throat and loosened the grip on the box. "H-here you go, Sasuke...I hope you like it." Trembling, she handed him the box of chocolate into his hands. "And I was thinking that we could go get some lunch, natto, maybe?"
Sasuke took the box from her shaking hands and opened it to see it full of chocolate kisses. Still wrapped in their individual silver wrappings, they sat next to each other in the form of the heart-shaped box. Sasuke gave a look of slight disgust.
"Sakura...I don't like natto and sweets."
Author's notes - Oh, poor Sakura...Anorexia couldn't help it with this one...she's just so dang cute as a little girl and Anorexia loved her little flirts with Sasuke.
