So I feel like this story is moving kinda slow...well I guess that's what you get when you don't plan ahead. -_-''

Here's just a short little convo between Sasuke and Sakura, nothin' special. I hope I'm not disappointing you all... but I must stick true to my own random and spontaneous thoughts, so here goes~

And of course, Naruto and all the characters belong to Kishimoto.


After a few more days of recovery spent in the hospital, Sasuke was finally discharged.

Sakura had been his main nurse, which, to him, seemed just a little awkward. Yes, she was his teammate and comrade, but for her to be treating his wounds daily and checking up on his health and just doing what a nurse does…it was, well, awkward.

What's more, Sakura didn't even seem to mind. He guessed this was because of her several years of experience; she must be used to it by now. But, come on. He was Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha. Her first childhood crush, and well, the one and only guy she ever confessed her love to.

That last part still made him wonder. Ever since he was brought back to the village, half dead, along with Naruto, they're relationship was…well, okay. Generally okay. Surprisingly, it wasn't even strained. Which, in retrospect really was something since one of them betrayed the other and the village, and then the two began trying to kill the other…Ah yes. Good times, good times.

"Sasuke?"

His train of thought was interrupted by none other than Sakura.

"Hn."

She took his one word syllable as a cue to go on.

"What are you thinking of?"

He took a moment to look at her, slightly amused she had noticed him deep in thought.

"Nothing."

Sakura sighed.

"Aw come on, just tell me."

"Why should I?"

"'Cause I'm your friend." She smiled a bright, childish smile.

He rolled his eyes.

He sighed, "I was thinking of…"

Sakura immediately opened her eyes and stared in anticipation for his answer. She didn't think he was actually going to tell her anything.

"you."

"…"

There was a pause of silence.

"R-really?" She stumbled, totally taken off guard.

He gave her a sly, sideways look.

"Nah".

Sakura blinked, then registered what he had just said.

"Heyyy, that's not fair!" She complained, blushing in embarrassment.

He only chuckled...and smirked.

"Next time, don't be so naïve."

Sakura only pouted, but inside, half of her wondered if he really had been thinking of her.

Sasuke inwardly sighed. 'Why...did I lie?' It was no use; he already knew the answer. Truth was, he didn't know if those words Sakura spoke long ago still held true. Those words she had spoken straight from the heart, putting everything she had on the line, just for him. He didn't know if Sakura still loved him.


Blahh, if you don't mind, take some time to review. I'm open to any suggestions, criticisms-preferably constructive-, or even complements. hehe. So, tell me whatcha think~ Oh, and I really hope this story is gonna pick up soon...
