Hi there guys! Uh, I know I haven't updated in a while, but i've been lazy and extremely busy. But mostly lazy. Im gonna get maybe four more chapters out this week and then take a break on this one and really work on my story The Pain of Payment. I've seriously neglected that ne..I know, im a bad mother.

So, someone asked would Naruto and Sakura get together and I decided to use this chapter as a solid answer :3 The next chapters'll probably be related to this one, then I wanna start adding in more characters of the Naruto-verse, and hopefully begin to type in Naruto's POV. Though, I have to say, i really enjoy Sakura's ^-^

Well, I really hope you guys like it, please give some critism. I don't own Naruto and all that. So yea. Meh.

So, it was no longer a secret that a lot has happened between Sakura and Naruto. Sakura had finally come out and told Ino about everything that happened between them so far. That got her a loud squeal and congratulations. Her problem was what they should do now. It was obvious that they weren't just friends, but they never officially got together. Plus, they still acted normal around each other, despite the slight tension Sakura felt. It was unnerving.

"Well, Forehead, I think it's time for you guys to DTR." Ino smiled mischievously. Sakura narrowed her eyes.

"DTR? I don't even know what that means, but if it's coming from you, it's definitely something perverted."

Ino scoffed in mock hurt. "Why I would never! I have the most innocent mind ever!" She batted her eyelids and smiled widely. Sakura laughed in a disbelieving way.

"But seriously Sakura, You have to DTR. Define the relationship. You guys have already crossed the line of just friends. It's time to figure out what you guys really are."

"I guess. But I'm kind of scared to just come out and ask him. What if he says he doesn't want to be serious?" Ino face palmed at that.

"Are you for real? Uzumaki Naruto, the one who's been practically chasing you since he was old enough to spell his name? The one who has almost died for you countless times? You think HE would say he doesn't want something serious? 'Cause any guy doing all that stuff isn't just in it for the benefits."

"I know, I sound extremely stupid, but it's just that lately, I feel like I'm...not the only person he likes..." She trailed off, biting her lip nervously. Ino smiled, softly and knowingly.

"You mean the black haired girl he's been hanging around?"

"Uggh, that bitch. Don't even get me started on her. He's been sending me all these mixed signals. Like, I used to be so sure that he liked me and honestly, I felt that he wouldn't move on or anything. But now, he barely has time for me because all the reconstruction work on the village or he's on missions, and whenever he's not working, he's hanging out in the ANBU headquarters or with that bitch Koiyacou."

"Ah, so Koiyacou's her name. And, that's the thing, Sakky-baby. Girls get so confident like 'yea, this guys is so head over heels for me, it's ridiculous. He's not going anywhere no time soon' But next thing you know, some other girl comes up and steals his attention. It's time for you to hop off that pedestal and step your game up, or else he's gonna be all over some other girl. So today, not tomorrow or sometime soon, you WILL DTR, got it?" Ino gave her a stern look. Sakura smiled gratefully. These were the days she honestly loved Ino.

"Haahaa, got it."

Doing this was easier said than done. Sakura stood nervously outside of Naruto's apartment. She'd been standing there for almost ten minutes, thinking of things to say.

'So, um hey there? So what's up with you and me? Ugghh! That's awful! How about, Hey babe, so tell me, are we gonna do this thing? Now that just sounds awful'She stopped her train of thought and decided that she was just gonna take a leap in the dark and just do this. She knocked twice then waited.

Sometimes, she wonder was the universe completely against her.

As if she wasn't nervous enough, leave it to Naruto to answer the door looking as if he was fresh out the shower. His hair was messy and wet, and his face was flushed. Drops of water rolled down his bare chest and over his lean torso, disappearing into the towel that rode dangerously low on his hips, sprinkles of golden hairs peeking out at the top. Sakura willed everything in her not to blush. Naruto smiled brightly, his eyes shining.

"Sakura, hey. I didn't think you'd be here. What's up?" Sakura smiled nervously.

"Nothing much, it's just...we need to talk." Naruto looked confused, stepping aside so she could come in. He closed the door and locked it.

"Okay, let me just get dressed really quickly and I'll be right back." He disappeared into the back. Sakura waited for about five minutes until he came back out, wearing a low cut V-neck shirt and jogging pants, his blue necklace back on his neck. He plopped down on the couch next to her and waited.

"So, what is it you want to talk about?"

"Well. How are you, are you okay?" She asked curiously.

"I'm fine, if you're talking about last time. I feel a lot better thanks to you." He gave her a sincere smile. "Well, how about you?"

"Oh I'm fine. I just really need to talk to you about us." Naruto stared, slightly confused. Sakura went on.

"Well, I just really need to know where we stand you know? DTR and all that."

"DTR? That sounds really perverted, Sak." Sakura threw her hands up.

"That's what I said! But no, it's not. That's not important though. I just want to know what I am to you."

"Everything." He stated, simply, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Sakura sat, stunned for a second. After a while, she collected herself.

"You're such a guy." She muttered, embarrassed. She could feel her whole face heating up. Naruto laughed and crossed his legs.

"If you want to know I guess you could say that were dating? I mean, I didn't know what to call it. I didn't think you felt the same way." He looked away nervously.

"Really? Wow, I guess we were both confused. I thought you were into some other girl or something..." Naruto scoffed.

"If you mean Koiyacou, I told you were just friends. I've been hanging out with her and in the ANBU headquarters because I wanted to give you some space. I was all determined to finally let you know how I felt, but after I kissed you, I felt like I went too far. Like I was pushing myself on you, you know? I'm sorry though, for kissing you without asking." He scratched his head nervously.

"Do you regret kissing me?" Sakura asked suddenly. It caught him off guard.

"Um-m of-f course n-not!" he said quickly.

"Well, don't be sorry. Whatever you want us to be is what we'll be. I just hope that I can really call you mine." She smiled. Naruto smiled back at her, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her in for a hug.

"I've always been yours, since the day we first met. It's nice to know that you're all mine, now that I know that, I may not ever be able to share." He kissed her forehead softly laughing. Sakura tangled her fingers in his hair, pulling him eye level to her. She stared into his eyes, and then smiled, kissing him softly.

"Geez, Naruto, you're such a romantic." She whispered, contently.

DTR. For an idea that came from her perverted friend, she had to admit that it was pretty nice.

A/N: Sweet, hopefully. I don't know if I did good with the romance, since I am relationship-sually challenged T_T tell me what ya think! :3
