He looked around to see children running and playing with each other
Strolling around the park has always been one of his favorite things to do during his free time. One reason is because he loves to watch the children while they play. He smiled at the view before him and continued to look at the children. He turned to the ice cream booth and saw a very familiar girl. "sakura!" He called out and went towards the ice cream booth. She looked for the voice which she can recognize well. "hey sasuke!" sakura waved.
"you're sasuke! You gave sasu-chan!" The little girl at around the age of six beside sakura jumped. Her eyes are blue and her hair is pink. She was wearing a white dress and is holding a pink bag. From her features, she looked very much like sakura. Sasuke glared at sakura and she knew it wasn't good and laughing nervously was all she can do. "I am Haruno Sakashi, sakura's cousin. Nice to meet you!" The little girl bowed in respect. Sasuke crouched to reach the level of sakashi. "I'm uchiha sasuke. Nice to meet you sakashi!" Sasuke smiled sweetly, a smile which is only for a few special people. The kid blushed and it made sakura laugh inwardly. "your attractiveness is really something sasu-kun. Haha!"
"wait! Can I call you daddy? Sakura is my mommy, I want you to be my daddy! Please?" sakashi grabbed sasuke's hand and pleaded. "daddy?" he asked back. "ever since she was three, we used to play at home and I don't know why but she calls me mommy." Sakura patted her cousin's head. "please?" sakashi pleaded some more. "Of course." sasuke said.
BETTER THIS WAY
Chapter four- cupid
Sakashi was holding both her mommy and daddy's hand as they stroll around the park, Sasuke on the right and sakura on the left. The kid looks like she was enjoying her time because from time to time, she would jump and hum a tune.
"look at them, is that their child? They're too young!"
"teenagers these days.."
He can hear the people whispering and looking at them. He felt embarrassed and tried to ignore the comments of other people. "sasuke, I want to get out of here." sakura whispered to sasuke. He thought she didn't notice it but she did. "Daddy, I'm tired and hungry." Sakashi told sasuke and her voice was a little louder than the usual so other people heard what she said.
"it's really their child. They are very young to start a family!"
"I think they're only in high school."
"the new generation is really different.."
"okay, we're going to eat." Sasuke carried sakashi while sakura followed. They ignored the whispers and went immediately out of the park. Sakura sighed. "I can't believe this is happening! I'm too young!" she half-shouted. "and so am I. Atleast, we got out of it." He sighed too. "mommy, daddy, what's the problem?" Sakashi asked, her face wore a worried look. "nothing, do you like to eat there?" Her mommy lied and pointed to the nearest restaurant while the kid nodded. The security guard opened the entrance and again, they caught too much attention when they walked inside the restaurant. "mommy, daddy, can we sit near the window over there?" sakashi asked while the two teens nodded. Sasuke and sakura tried their best not to mind the looks and comments the people, mostl adults, are giving them specially when sakashi called them mommy and daddy.
"In a way, I think this is not a good idea." Sasuke thought. He put sakashi down and the three of them sat on the chairs. A waitress approached them and when they were done telling their orders, they waited. "you know what sasuke, sometimes I think that you're not my best friend anymore. Really!.." She started and sighed for the second time that day. "and instead?" he asked. "and instead, you're my boyfriend." Sakura didn't look at him and just eyed the people outside. By some means, she felt embarrassed at what she said to even look at him straight in the eye. But even though she didn't look at him, she can tell that he was smiling while her cousin just listened to her parents as they talk. Sakashi grinned though the two did not notice.
They remained silent for a minute then he spoke. "what makes you think that way?" He asked her. She thought for a while before she answered. "I don't know. I can't explain, sorry." Finally she looked straightly at his eyes although she was frowning. "Come on, smile!" He muttered and she smiled a fake one but he raised a brow at her. "I want the real one." He held her chin and kissed her on her forehead. This time, her smile is real. "you really have something that other's don't that makes me forget about everything."
"I wish I could have a friend like daddy suke too when I grow up." Sakashi thought and invented the suke on her own. Her grin turned to a smile as she continued to watch the two.
"sak," He said. She knows he's serious. Like her, he calls her sak when he's serious or annoyed and she calls him suke. When he's sweet, he simply calls her sakura or my sakura but his tone suddenly changes while she calls him sasu-kun or my sasu-kun. She looked at her best friend and let him continue. "what if," He stopped. "Should I ask her? now?"
"what if?" She asked back. "what if I-"
"excuse me m'am, sir, here's your order." A waiter who had trays on his hands went and put their foods on the table. Once again, he was unable to tell it. "damn." She heard him say but she ignored it.
"thanks for your time daddy, and for the food and for walking us home and for everything!" Sakashi hugged her daddy. "No problem, take care of yourself okay?" He hugged the kid back. "I'll be going then. Bye!" He was going to start walking when she stopped him. "daddy wait! My real mommy and daddy kiss whenever they're going to be separated." She said as the two teens just looked at each other. "Oh yes." Sasuke said and he leaned forward to kiss sakura on the cheek. "bye then."
"bye daddy!"
"bye sasuke!"
"teme!" naruto yelled. "what?" Sasuke's brows twitched and he seemed to be annoyed because of his other best friend's loudness. "the gang is planning to go to a bar after the charity program! And we'll party!" The blonde boy just got louder. "sure but wait, you're all going to watch that annoying program?" Sasuke asked back and got annoyed even more. "Of course, you're going to perform right? Hinata, tenten and ino are part of the committee so they should come and did sakura-chan tell you already? She's going to be the emcee because she refused to have a duet with you." Naruto answered. "Refused? Really? Why?" he asked again. "I don't know. That's just what she said. And, we're going to watch and you cannot stop us!" He was expecting sasuke to smack him on the head or something like that but he smirked. "what's that for?" Naruto doesn't like that look because he knows his best friend is up to something. "Since you guys are coming, why don't you guys help me out?" Naruto seemed like he did not get what he said. "sure, what are we going to do?"
"The band, we'll play and I'll sing. If you will not say yes and force the others to play, you know what I'll do. I'll tell hinata that when you got drunk when we went to the bar, you flirted with many girls." Sasuke smirked wider and told his condition before his friend could react. "Yes yes! I will help and force the others! Just please don't tell my hinata you idiot!" Naruto begged so badly. "deal." Then sasuke walked away leaving naruto behind and went to their classroom. "hey sakura!" He called when she saw her. "hey sasuke!" He went to her place. "I heard from dobe that you're going to be the emcee."
"uhhh yeah, though it's annoying. Here's my script. She raised a folder where her script is and showed it to him. "why did you refuse?" He asked her about the duet thing. "oh yes. That's because first, that's more troublesome than being the emcee and I don't really have the confidence.." she laughed and continued. "And third, if I sing with you, I will not be able to hear and watch you seriously because I'm one of your fans you know!" She giggled. "I see. But atleast I got the others to play and accompany me." He smirked. "really?"
"yeah. I got naruto to help me. And sakura.."
"??"
"The emcee's place will be at the side of the stage right?" She nodded. "When I sing, can you go to the front seat so I can see you?"
"Is that really necessary sasuke?"
"somehow… because I only want to dedicate it to you."
"of course, anything for my sasu-kun." She smiled.
Loud and cheerful cheers can be heard all over the auditorium. Boys and girls, everybody is cheering. "this is more than I expected." Tsunade, the principal, eyed in awe at the cheering crowd. "Just as I thought. Uchiha and haruno plus hyuuga and the group. They really increased the audience."
"good work kakashi." Tsunade complimented and patted kakashi at the back. "thanks principal."
The students danced and jumped up and down while they listen to some bands as they play different kinds of music. "I can't believe I'm going to do this for you sasuke." Neji sighed and readied his bass guitar at the back stage. "This is troublesome." Shikamaru complained. "thanks guys for helping sasuke!" Naruto fixed his appearance in front of the mirror. "why are you so persistent to let them help sasuke, naruto?" Kiba asked. "And by the way, you're next." Shino entered the conversation. "Okay! Let's do this!" Naruto raised his right hand and shouted while Neji groaned, Shikamaru muttered a troublesome and Sasuke just wore the same expression in his face.
Meanwhile, sakura announced the next performers. "For the last performance, let's hear it from uchiha sasuke, hyuuga neji, nara shikamaru and uzumaki naruto from class 2-A!" The students, especially girls, screamed like they never screamed before. Some just want to faint right there, some can't wait and some screamed their lungs out!
"okay, mic test." That's sasuke's first words and the whole crowd, minus the straight boys, just went crazy. He felt a little embarrassed at this and at the same time annoyed inside. "I hate this!" He groaned inwardly. "The song that we're going to play is an original composition entitled cupid." He said over the microphone between the screams and cheers of the crowd. Meanwhile, as promised, sakura went to the front middle seat and gave sasuke a thumbs up. "Let's go teme!" Naruto shouted which made his friends sigh. "hyper than ever." They thought. Naruto played the first three beats of the drums before they started. Naruto on the drums, shikamaru on the keyboard, neji on the bass and sasuke on the lead guitar and vocals. The crowd silenced a bit and listened to the song.
"everybody put your hands together!" naruto said over the mic and the crowd followed. Of course, he's the one who should do that job since sasuke is different.
"woooohhh, mmmmm, yeah," Sasuke started.
"Girl I love you so.."
He closed his eyes and strummed his guitar.
"Girl if I told you I love you
That doesn't mean that I don't care, oooh
And when I tell you I need you
Don't you think that I'll never be there, ooooh"
He then opened his eyes slowly and looked straightly at sakura who was also doing the same at him though with a smile. He continued.
"Baby I'm so tired of the way you turn my words into
Deception and lies
Don't misunderstand me when I try to speak my mind
I'm only saying what's in my heart"
Sakura noticed the lyrics. "he wants to dedicate it to me? But why?" She remembered what he told her few days ago. "somehow… because I only want to dedicate it to you." She set aside her thoughts for awhile and listened to him as he sing the chorus.
"Cupid doesn't lie
But you won't know unless you give it a try
Oh baby, true love
won't lie but we won't know unless we give it a try
give it a try"
Naruto, neji, shikamaru and also kiba, shino and chouji who were at the back stage smiled at sasuke. "he really made the song for her." Neji kept his smile. They're proud of sasuke. Of course, for being able to make the song.
"Girl when I ask you to trust me
That doesn't mean that I'm gonna cheat on you
Cuz I'm gonna never do anything to hurt you
"Or mislead you, I love you"
Ain't no doubt about it
Lord no, I really mean it
I rather die before, before I lie to you
Never wanna leave ya
Ain't no life without you
Never gonna leave, never gonna go, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, ohhhh"
"Cupid doesn't lie
But you won't know unless you give it a try
Oh baby, true love
won't lie but we won't know unless we give it a try
give it a try"
The song slowly faded as the crowd cheered and screamed. "woooooohhh!!" they shouted. "that was great sasuke!" Sakura shouted at sasuke because if she did not, she will not be heard. "thanks!"
"alright teme!!" naruto celebrated.
"You were great awhile ago guys!" Hinata complimented her boyfriend and her friends for the beautiful performance awhile ago. "Cheers!" Ino raised her glass while the others followed and they drank their beverages at the same time. Each gave a different reaction on the drink. The girls hated it while the boys didn't care. They drank and danced and partied all night long!
"sakura, don't drink too much." Ino warned sakura, knowing that she gets drunk easily. "yeah yeah." Sakura said. "Where are the guys?" Tenten asked. "On the counter." Hinata answered and pointed the guys. "Hey!" Sakura noticed that a girl was flirting with sasuke. "She's getting too close." Ino commented because she noticed it too. Sakura did not hesitate to stand up and approach the girl. She walked towards the girl and cursed it inwardly. "excuse me, can't you see he's already annoyed at your flirtatious attitude?" She told the girl as politely as she can. Sasuke and Naruto, as well as neji, shikamaru, kiba, shino and chouji just eyed sakura.
"what? Who are you to tell me that?" The girl yelled at sakura but she just stayed calm though deep inside she wanted to kill that slut. "my boyfriend is already getting annoyed. Please leave him alone." She gave the girl a fake smile and it made the girl angry. The boys got shocked for a second but they were really cheering for sasuke deep inside because of course, they know and they're aware about sasuke's feelings for his best friend. "Bitch!" The girl yelled and attempted to slap her but he immediately pulled sakura to a hug and it made the girl stop at what she was about to do. "Dare to hurt her and you'll see what hell is like." Sasuke threatened the girl and it made the girl scared so she bowed and said sorry and went away. Naruto laughed really hard at this. "did you see her face? Hahahaha! Teme you're so mean!" he laughed some more. "bitch." Sakura cursed the girl and pulled away from the hug sasuke gave her. "you don't need to do that." Sasuke told sakura. "but she's annoying!" She protested. "but she could have hurt you!"
"but she's annoying!"
"but you know I don't care about girls like her!"
"but she's still annoying!" She sighed and he did too. "lets go back." She grabbed his hand and looked at her other friends telling them to go back to their table and they did.
"Sakura, that's enough." Sasuke told her because she is already drunk. His other friends, specially naruto, did nothing but laugh. He's so drunk that he was laughing so hard even if nothing's really funny. Sasuke picked up his phone and dialed the number of his brother. "damn." He cursed because his head was aching. Itachi answered the phone and asked his little brother why. "bro, can you pick me and sakura up? Damn, my head hurts." Itachi only laughed at this. "it's because you're so young and you're drinking too much. Is sakura drunk?" Itachi asked. "yeah. Hurry." Sasuke stood up and told his friends that he's only going to the bathroom to wash his face. "Hinata, don't let sakura drink anymore." He told the shy girl and she nodded.
"Hey sasuke, where are you going?" Sakura asked and stood up. Her voice is somewhat different now and she's really drunk. "bathroom. Now sit down and stop drinking. Itachi will pick us up." He continued walking but sakura grabbed his hand. "wait." She said and kissed him on his lips as she tightened her grip on his shirt. "sak-" His eyes widened and it caught a lot of people's attention, even naruto stopped his nonsense laughing and got shocked too.
