A/N: Thanks to all who reviewed, favorited, and alerted!
I'm kind of trying to shape this like a shojo (:
Also, no one knows how much I love sandwich jokes.

She was perfection.
Haruno Sakura was pure perfection...
Sasuke wondered how it was possible to have such a celestial being here on earth. Terrestrial. It was surreal, but Sasuke would not admit to it. No, he would stand there stoically and let his heart melt away at her cute gestures. He found it rather difficult to act normally around her. Mornings in Konohagakure were typically delightfully cool; the green grass (which Sasuke regretted to say reminded him of Sakura's green, green eyes) were lush and wet from the morning dew.
The pair was walking comfortably along the main cobblestone path; Sakura was telling Sasuke about her latest misadventures with their idiot friends. He couldn't help his mouth quirking upwards as Sakura continued with her story. Her face was flushed and he knew that she was getting worked up about it.
"Anyway, Kiba told me to make me a sandwich after class and I was like 'No! What do I look like? A house maid?' and then he had to go ahead and say 'No, you look like a woman'. I really wanted to knock him out for that. What is it with him and the sexist sandwich jokes? Even Naruto's picking up on them too..." Sakura babbled on and on, not at all paying attention to see if Sasuke was actually listening.
But she didn't need to; Sasuke always listened to Sakura.
"Sasuke-kun?"
"What?"
His breath got caught in his throat when he saw the cute blush that was flaming across her pale cheeks. Running a hand through her short coral-pink locks, Sakura quickly cleared her throat and faced front, her eyes still shifted at Sasuke.
"What kind of girl do you like?"
Sakura looked at Sasuke eagerly as he inwardly panicked. Sasuke? With a preferred type? Sure, it was painfully obvious who he liked, but he was not at all ready to be exposed. No, Sasuke would need a catalyst of some sort to get him to confess to Haruno Sakura.
Instead of answering her seriously, for fear that he could wreck their current relationship, he stared back into Sakura's eyes teasingly. She flushed at their close proximity and Sasuke snorted before looking ahead, fighting down the blush creeping up on his neck.
"That kind who can make me a sandwich."
Her laugh, Sasuke found, was even more entrancing than her bright hair and eyes...he liked it. And Sakura's tinkling laugh rang through Sasuke's ears; his heart thumped madly against his chest. He wondered if she could hear it. At last, Sakura responded, mischievously grinning at her dark-haired companion.
"Oh? And what kind of sandwiches do you like then?"
Author's notes: Right now, I am obsessed with the following shojos that I am going to promote: Ao Haru Ride and KouKou Debut. Shorter chapters are much more refreshing to write than the painfully long ones.
Nonetheless, a chapter is a chapter...unless it's an author's note...which is kind of mean since technically you're tricking the readers. My thoughts are in disarray at the moment since I am running on 2 hours of sleep. Hehehe. Hooray for the weekend!
Reviews please :D
