Fugaku stretched his arms out and activated his popper. He smiled softly.
'This whole time…I was looking for happiness…'

Sometimes out my window
I notice that you've been crying over him
And I wonder why you just don't
Kick him to the curb
Instead of giving in
You see love at first is summer time
That's when you think that everything's fine
No one ever thinks its gonna end
But when things go wrong and winter comes
You're gonna need to run to someone
Left alone you'll just freeze up again
But you should know
When it gets too cold
You're not alone
I'll melt the snow
Some nights I can hear you
Screaming on the phone over
something that he did
And I wonder what can I do
To make you throw him out
so you can let me in
I'll melt the snow
Ill melt the snow
But you should know
When it gets too cold
You're not alone
I'll melt the snow
I'll melt the snow

Sakura sighed on her bed happily and hung her kimono on her door knob. She tied her wet pink locks into a long ponytail and took out her diary, a feathery pen and sat down at her desk.
Dear Diary,
Today was great! Sasuke-kun ended up going to the festival! We kissed... a lot…but so did everyone else. Overall, today was one of the best days of my life!
Sasuke's Otou-san finally accepted me! I'm so completely happy that Sasuke-kun and I get to finally be together.
She glanced around her room unconsciously for motivation and her eyes fell on the picture of her own Otou-san and Kaa-san. She frowned slightly and felt tears brimming her emerald eyes.
Well, I have to go now! Good night Diary!
Sakura
Sakura closed the pale pink book and put it back under her pillow and breathed. She tried smiling and looked out the window to see the silver moon. It almost looked like it was smiling back at her comfortingly like her Kaa-san used to.
'Otou-san…Kaa-san…I miss you so much…'
The pink-haired girl's smile dropped as she tried stifling her sob behind one of the sleeve of her nightgown. She wiped away some tears.
"Sakura…?"
She blinked her tears away quickly, wiped her face, and turned around; trying to make it look like she was fine.
Sasuke frowned as he walked towards her slowly. He picked up Foo Foo from her bed and held out a hand to her. She gave him a curious look as she took his hand.
"You can sleep with me tonight." He told her. Sakura looked up at him with a grateful smile. Sasuke lead her through the hall to his own bedroom. Sakura lay down on the bed with Sasuke. They both pulled up the covers as he quietly mumbled a song for her.

When he was about to start the second verse, he could see that she was already asleep. Sasuke smirked as he finally closed his eyes, falling asleep next to his cherry blossom.
End Day 4

Start Day 5
Fugaku knocked loudly on Sasuke's door.
"Sasuke, it's time for—"
Fugaku opened the door and looked at the bed, seeing his son and Sakura sleeping together peacefully, face to face. Slowly, a tiny smile formed on his face. He slowly closed the door, leaving them alone. He turned around to see Mikoto with a surprised, yet happy, expression.
"Gaku-Chan…I'm so glad that you started liking Sakura-Chan!" She chirped, giving him a hug as he smiled larger. The slightly old couple made their way downstairs.
"Where's the teme?" Naruto asked, before stuffing his face with the usual scrambled eggs, bread and bacon. Hinata smiled lightly as she dabbed his mouth with a napkin.
"They're sleeping…together!" Mikoto yelled, thrusting her arms high up into the air. Everyone choked on their food or drinks. Neji was spitting out some orange juice by the sink.
"And his parent's are okay with that?" he muttered. TenTen was next to him, patting his back with a sweat drop.
Red started creeping onto Hinata's cheeks and Naruto widened his eyes.
"Damn! Those two don't waste any time!" Ino replied loudly, slapping her forehead.
"Er, what she means is, they're just sleeping together. They didn't do anything last night." Fugaku corrected sheepishly.
Ino and Shikamaru both let out a long sigh of relief. Neji and TenTen returned to the table relaxed. Hinata held her chest, trying to breathe slower. Naruto was chugging down some water.
Shortly, Sasuke and Sakura came down the stairs. Sasuke cocked an eyebrow up.
"Where's everyone else?" The young Uchiha asked inferring to his brother, Rain, Iko, Chouji, Yumi and Kiba.
"Itachi and Rain-Chan went out on a small outing to buy some more bread. Sadly, Kiba and Chouji had to go back already…I'll miss them…As for Iko-Chan, she's taking some time off today. It seems she caught a cold last night." Mikoto said sadly. Then, she realized she had forgotten Yumi. "Yumi! Hm…that girl is so stubborn. I have no idea where she is." She added.
Sakura bit her lip. "We should go look for her…" She suggested a bit meekly. Sasuke scoffed.
"Why? She's horribly annoying. Plus, she doesn't like you." He told her. Naruto nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, yeah Sakura-Chan! Why do you want to help someone who hates you?" The blond asked.
"Well…I have a bed feeling…if she just disappeared all because of me…I…" she trailed off, shifting her weight from one foot to the other.
Sasuke put a hand on her shoulder. "I'll help you look." He said. Mikoto smiled at her son's affection towards the pink-haired girl.
'He'll do anything to ease her pain…'
Then, she pushed them towards the dining table.
"After you eat! Then you can go look for Yumi! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." She instructed. "Hm…I think I'll make some sukiyaki tonight…" She added in randomly in a quiet whisper.
Sakura smiled and nodded as she gratefully took some food and piled them onto her plate. Sasuke also got some food. Sakura seemed to be eating faster than usual. Ino sighed.
"Forehead, I know you're worried and all…but give your digestive system a break. It's going to take a long time to get all that food digested if they're just in chunks." The blonde pointed out. The pink-haired girl frowned.
"But I really want to apologize Yumi-san…" She said truthfully.
"What do you need to apologize for? Yumi is the one who needs to do the apologizing." TenTen said. Everyone else silently agreed.
"By being with Sasuke-kun she's hurt …and I feel terrible…" She replied quietly, pushing her plate away. She stood up. Sasuke stuffed the rest of his breakfast quickly into his mouth and stood up to follow her wherever she was going.
The young Uchiha followed her through the hallways, and then grabbed her wrist, causing her to turn away.
"Sakura, where do you plan on going?" He asked her, staring hard into her worried eyes.
She bit her lip. "I don't know…" She admitted.
"She could be on a plane right now for all we know. Leave her alone." He continued, his tone cold.
"Sasuke-channn!!" Yumi popped out of nowhere and hugged the Uchiha. He glared at her. The blonde looked towards Sakura direction as she stuck her tongue out.
"He's mine, got it?" She snapped. Sasuke tried to escape her grasp, but she held on tightly. Sakura widened her eyes before squeezing her hands into balled fists, turning her knuckles milky white.
"I thought you were always hurting so much! I was worried…but now I know, what you have is just a one-sided love! I'm sorry Yumi-san, but Sasuke-kun is in love with me." The pink-haired girl announced angrily. The blond just continued to glare at Sakura.
"No he's not! He's not!" She yelled.
"He is. You're just too afraid to face that fact." She replied. Yumi finally let go of Sasuke and turned away.
The blonde took one last look at Sakura and then ran off. The pink-haired girl sank to the floor and Sasuke immediately went by her side. He could see that Sakura was smiling faintly.
"I'm…such a horrible person…" She gasped and fell right onto him. Sasuke caught her quickly, noticing that fact that she was unconscious. Scooping her up into his arms, he carried her bridle style to her bedroom.
--
"A fever?" Sasuke repeated urgently. Fugaku nodded after he took Sakura's temperature.
"Stress seems to have taken over her. Some medicine and rest will do her some good." He instructed, handing his son some pills.
"Forehead girl…" Ino muttered, feeling her best friend's forehead. "She's so…warm…"
"You know, she gave Yumi a big speech right before she fainted…" Sasuke informed them. Naruto looked at him.
"Really? What'd she tell that bitch?" He asked.
"She told Yumi that her love is one-sided and that I love her, only her." He replied. The boys 'Oooohhh' –ed and smiled at the girl.
"Before she fainted though…she said, "I'm such a horrible person."" Sasuke added. Hinata twiddled her fingers together.
"I think S-Sakura-Chan did the r-right thing… after all, s-she's 'protecting' the one she loves..." She said shyly. Sakura fluttered her eyes open and sat up slowly, holding her head in her hands.
'My head hurts so much...' she thought, not noticing the people around her.
"Sakura,"
She looked to see Sasuke with a concerned look painted across his face and gave him a reassuring smile.
"I'm okay!" She chirped happily. He felt her forehead. The fever went down…but only slightly. She felt the heat appear on her cheeks as he touched her forehead. She slowly put her hand on top of his.
"Really…I'm okay." She repeated. Then, she turned to look at Mikoto.
"Mikoto-san, you said you wanted to cook some sukiyaki for dinner tonight. But we don't have any beef." The pink-haired girl recalled. Mikoto frowned.
"Sakura-Chan…you're sick with a fever. I don't think—"
"Getting some fresh air might make me feel better." Sakura persuaded. Mikoto bit her lip, wondering which choice to choose.
"M-maybe if I accompany her, things w-will turn out better…" Hinata offered quietly. Ino nodded.
"Yeah and Hinata is extremely responsible! She won't let anything happen to Forehead-girl!" The blonde agreed.
"Hm…" Fugaku sighed as he rubbed his chin. "I think as long as Hinata is with her, things will go smoothly." He told the excited pink-haired girl.
She bounced up and grinned. "Thank you! Now everyone out! I have to change!" She dashed into her closet to change. Sasuke glanced at her before she left the room. Naruto noticed this, surprisingly.
"Worried, teme?" He asked, grinning. Sasuke elbowed him quickly.
--
Sakura brushed her pink, silky locks with her fingers hurriedly as she looked at her reflection in the full view mirror. She smiled and waved at her reflection childishly. She came downstairs to see that Hinata was already at the front door, waiting patiently.
"Sorry if I took too long, Hinata-chan." Sakura said.
Hinata merely smiled. "It's fine."
"Now, here's the money for the beef. Be careful, okay?" Mikoto said as she handed the female Hyuuga the money. The two girls nodded and they left.
--
"Ah! Here's the b-beef…" Hinata said, picking up the package of meat. Sakura smiled.
"Hinata-Chan, aren't you a vegetarian?" She asked.
The violet nodded. "Yes, but Mikoto-san a-always makes something for me."
"Mikoto-san is a very nice person…" The pink-haired girl said thoughtfully.
Hinata nodded in agreement, her clear eyes sparkling. "Okay…let's go purchase t-this now…"
Once they got to the cash register, Sakura peered out the glass doors curiously and saw many other stores.
"Hinata-Chan, I'm going to wait for you outside, 'kay?" She said.
"B-but—"
Hinata sighed when her friend had already exited the building.
"Miss… are you paying with cash or check?" The male employee questioned her. Hinata whipped around.
"C-cash…"
--
Sakura skipped around the place, enjoying the air. Then, she stopped when she saw a store that was selling stuffed animals.
Letting her curiosity and affection for cute thing take over her, she made her way to the shop to observe things. (1)
A few seconds later, Hinata came out of the store with the purchase in hand. She looked around expecting to see the rosette.
"S-Sakura-Chan…?" She walked around frantically. She flipped out her cell phone before letting out a sigh of frustration.
'I remembered…Sakura-Chan doesn't have a cell phone of her own…'
Instead, the worried girl decided to call the summer home.
"Hello? Are things okay over there?" Sasuke's voice came through the speaker. She could easily tell that he was a bit worried. Hinata bit her lip.
"S-Sakura-Chan is kind of missing..." She replied hesitantly. There was a moment of silence.
"What the fuck do you mean?" He finally asked her. His language made her feel guilty.
"I was b-buying the beef, then S-Sakura-Chan asked if she could wait for me o-outside…" She answered. She heard Sasuke curse. "B-but before I could even answer, she had already l-left." She added quickly.
Suddenly, a sound of thunder echoed through the afternoon. Hinata jumped slightly, frightened. Then, rain started pouring down. She ran inside the store again.
"S-Sasuke-san, it's raining." Hinata informed.
"I know,"
"T-there's no way I can find Sakura-Chan with t-the rain in the way…"
"…I know…just…just come home…" He muttered back after much thought.
"B-but…Sakura-Chan she's…"
"I know! Okay! I know! Hold on, just wait in the store and Naruto will come and pick you up. I'll go out to find Sakura." Sasuke said quickly.
"W-wait"—
Click.
Hinata frowned. She stood there, holding the meat as she waited patiently. Thunder erupted angrily outside.
--
The sound of thunder scared Sakura. She instantly dropped the teddy bear she was currently looking at. She bent down, picked it up and put it back in its place with the other stuffed animals. She looked outside to see that it was pouring rain.
'Oh no…I completely forgot about Hinata-Chan!' she thought frantically before rushing outside, only to be greeted with rain.
Her pink locks were completely soaked in a matter of seconds. She couldn't see anything; the rain was falling too hard. Yet, she ran to where she was hoping the store, and Hinata, would be.
--
"Hinata-Chan!"
The said girl looked up and let out a sigh of relief. But her heart still felt slightly guilty.
"Naruto-kun…" She muttered. She saw Sasuke trailing quietly behind him. She yelped when the Uchiha had grabbed her wrist. Naruto widened his eyes.
"Teme! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" The blond yelled, pushing Sasuke back.
"You were supposed to watch over Sakura!" He shouted at Hinata, who had just burst out into tears. Finally, Naruto had pried Sasuke's tight grip on Hinata's tiny wrist and pushed him back.
"Teme! It's not Hinata's fault that Sakura-Chan got lost!" He yelled. Sasuke glared at the two, then turned around and ran off to try and find Sakura. The blond looked back at Hinata, who was blinking away the tears, and gingerly took her bruised wrist in his hands. Her face immediately turned in a hue of rose.
"Sorry…for causing s-so much trouble…" She mumbled. He smiled gently as he caressed her wrist.
"It's okay…I'm sure Sakura-Chan will be found."
--
Sasuke dashed around corners and ran through streets, not knowing if a car was racing by. He looked around for a mop of pink. "Sakura!!" He yelled out.
Suddenly, he felt someone crash into him.
"Watch where you're going you dumb ass—"
"S-Sasuke-kun?" A voice spoke to him. He looked closely as the figure through the rain and saw soaked pink hair, shimmering green eyes and pale skin. Sasuke instantly hugged her close to his warm chest. She snuggled closer to him and smiled. He could feel warm liquid forming at his chest. He looked down at her.
"Why…are you crying?" He asked.
Sakura sniffed. "I-I thought I was lost f-forever..." She replied, rubbing her eyes as he slightly smirked at her immature, yet cute, reply. "Do you have a handkerchief or anything?" Sakura asked between hiccups.
He shook his head. Slowly, he rose his right hand up. She stared at him curiously.
"However…I can lend you my hand." He replied. She smiled and giggled as he wiped her tears from her eyes.
"Sasuke-kun…you sounded so cheesy." She continued to giggle playfully as she hugged him. She backed up after around a minute. Sasuke took her hand.
"Let's go and tell Naruto and Hinata that you're okay." He told her. He heard Sakura let out a sigh of relief.
"I hope they're not too worried…"
--
"S-Sakura-san! Sasuke-san! You two are b-both soaked!" Hinata gasped, running towards the two teenagers.
Sakura smiled. "It's okay! We're both feeling fine." She assured. Naruto checked his watch.
"Well, we better get going." He said, grinning as he grasped Hinata's hand. She blushed and hoped that she wouldn't faint.
Not wanting to be beat by the blond knucklehead, he said, "I'm sorry, Hinata."
She turned back and smiled slightly as Naruto gasped.
"Who are you and what have you done to Sasuke-teme?" Naruto asked suspiciously.
"E-eh? What are you talking about Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked as Sasuke merely shook his head.
Sasuke wrapped an arm around Sakura and the two couples exited the building.
"I-it's still raining r-really hard…" Hinata muttered. Naruto nodded.
"There's only one thing we can do…CHARGE!!" He yelled, running into the rain with Hinata latched onto him. Sasuke sighed as he shook his head. He took unzipped his jacket and wrapped it around the shivering girl beside him.
Sakura snuggled underneath one side of the jacket. The two quickly followed Naruto and Hinata into the rain, smirking and laughing.
The pink-haired girl enjoyed running with the Uchiha in the pouring rain. She felt warm, and it wasn't because of her fever.
--
"You two," Mikoto pointed at the two males. "We were so worried, you went out without an umbrella!" she scolded the scowling Naruto and Sasuke. Hinata and Sakura stood there, exhausted. "You two girls can go and take a shower." Mikoto told the two girls.
"S-Sakura-san, you should g-go first." Hinata kindly said.
"But it was my fault that this all happened. You should go first." Sakura replied. The Hyuuga shook her head slowly.
"You're sick with a f-fever." She pointed out. Sakura frowned and finally gave up. There was no way to convince her.
"Ok…I'll go first then…" She quickly went up the stairs. Mikoto suddenly grinned and looked back at her younger son and the blond.
"Two knights courageously rescuing two beautiful princesses while fighting the rain! It's just like a fairytale!" She said in a dreamy tone. The two boys immediately blushed and cocked their heads to the side. Hinata stood there, smiling warmly at Naruto. He looked so sweet with pink cheeks. "Ah! So handsome!" Mikoto continued to ogle at the two.
Then, out of random thin air, Itachi and Rain finally appeared. Rain was wrapped in the older Uchiha's leather jacket. She seemed pretty dry, but extremely tired. She was on Itachi's back. The raven-haired man on the other hand, also looked tired and was completely soaked.
"Ah! Another knight and princess!" Mikoto exclaimed happily, clapping her hands together and jumping slightly. The couple each both raised an eyebrow.
"Eh?"
"Just…don't pay attention to her…" Sasuke murmured. "Hey, Kaa-san, I thought you said that they were only going on a 'small' outing." He added.
"Well…I thought they would be back sooner. What happened to you two?" Mikoto asked Rain and Itachi. Rain hopped off from the man's back and returned his jacket back to him.
"Well…we saw a carnival…and got very excited…sorry, we forgot to call you!" The dark-haired girl bowed down in apology. Mikoto's lips curled into a smile as she patted the girl's back.
"That's okay…geez…lots of people are going to have to take a shower early…" She said. Everyone, save Itachi and Sasuke, let out a soft chuckle.
--
Sakura jogged down the stairs, her wet hair hanging by her rosy cheeks. She was wearing one of her thickest pair of pajamas. She turned a sharp corner and suddenly felt herself bump into someone.
"Ow…s-sorry…" She whispered. The pink-haired girl looked up and widened her eyes.
"A-ah! Itachi-kun, I haven't seen you all day!" She said in surprise. He smirked and ruffled her hair lightly.
"My foolish little brother told me about today's incident. I hope your fever has gone down." He said.
She nodded happily. "I feel great!"
"Well, get to the dining table quickly. Mother's serving the sukiyaki." He told her. Sakura looked at him curiously.
"…aren't you going to eat as well?" She asked. He cringed and pointed at his stomach.
"I…I ate a lot today." Itachi slowly walked up the stairs towards his room. Sakura made her way to the dining table. Everyone turned to stare at her.
"…hi?"
"We all heard about the incident…but we want to know what really happened between you and Sasuke." Neji finally said for everyone else. Sasuke was currently taking a shower. Sakura sat down and blushed.
"Well…nothing much," The pink-haired girl lied, looking down at her plate of food. Ino rolled her eyes.
"Forehead, we allknow something romantic happened to you two." She said coolly.
"No kissing? No hugging? No cheesy lines?" TenTen asked, inching closer and closer to Sakura.
The girl took in a sharp breath. "Well…there was some…h-hugging and cheesy lines…" She admitted, her blush returning.
"Really?! It's dream come true!!" Mikoto exclaimed, smiling brightly.
"Hm…do tell." Shikamaru told Sakura. She fidgeted nervously in her seat. She was kind of glad Naruto and Hinata were drying off too right now.
"I…I was crying as he hugged me…then I asked if he had a handkerchief of some sort…instead, he offered me his…hand." She explained. The girls squealed dreamily. Fugaku just sighed and smiled lightly as he started reading his daily newspaper.
"Sasuke-kun, do you have a handkerchief?" Ino asked TenTen, acting out the part of Sakura in a high pitched voice. TenTen grinned
"No Sakura dear, but I can offer you my hand!" The brunette followed along, making her voice sound as if she were playing in an over dramatic play. TenTen brushed her hand along Ino's eyes as the blonde giggled.
"I love you my Sasuke-kun!"
"I love you more my beautiful Sakura-Chan!" The two females hugged mockingly.
"Um…Ino, TenTen…" Neji managed out a bit nervously as he pointed to the direction behind them. The two girls froze.
"Sasuke…he's right behind us, isn't he?" They both spoke in unison. Slowly, they turned around and put on a big smile.
"H-hi Sasuke…" Tenten said.
"Uh huh…" Sasuke said as he crossed his arms.
--
Soon, everyone had finally showered and dressed in their pajamas. Ino had just called everyone to the living room. Everyone came as expected. Fugaku and Mikoto were the only ones who didn't show up. They liked to go to sleep early, according to Sasuke.
Shikamaru sighed lazily when he saw that Ino was holding three DVDs: "The Grudge 2", "The Pacifier", and the last was, "100 Days with Mr. Arrogant". (2)
All the girls chose the last movie, while the boys chose the first movie, which happened to be horror. "The Pacifier" was completely forgotten. Then, TenTen thought more.
"Actually…I think I'll go with the horror movie. Besides, reading the subtitles for the Korean movie might make Naruto's head hurt." The brunette said.
Sakura bit her bottom lip. Sasuke noticed this and smirked. "What? Are you afraid of horror movies?" He asked, his smirk growing wider.
"N-no!" She lied quickly. She was surprised when Sasuke suddenly wrapped an arm around her shoulder. She her cheeks gushed out a light tint of pink.
"Don't worry." He whispered in her ear.
Finally, after Ino had put in the DVD, the movie began to play. Sakura had already watched the first movie and she got completely terrified. She hoped that this movie would be less scary.
"Whoa…that is harsh." Neji muttered when a woman had taken a pan of boiling oil and poured it onto her husband's head, killing him. Everyone else cringed, except for the two Uchihas who were both watching with interest.
"AH!" Sakura yelled when the woman (3) hit the floor after falling down from the building. The sight of blood made her feel queasy. She snuggled closer into Sasuke's chest.
About an hour later…
"What the hell is your problem?! Don't go into that house!" Ino protested at the TV screen as the main character stepped into the house where the Grudge was murdered.
After the main character had yelled out some words, the husband appeared and tortured her…like he had tortured his wife. The little boy watched quietly from the stairs. Hinata and Rain glanced at the scene, grimaced and looked away.
The movie ended…with the woman moaning quietly on the floor with broken bones. The credits finally began to roll. Most of them stared at the screen, their mouths wide open.
Ino jumped up from her seat and stretched.
"What a stupid movie. The main character is a retard." She said in a bored tone.
"T-that movie…was so… s-scary..." Sakura whispered. Sasuke smirked.
"Of course, that's why it's called a horror movie." He said, pointing out the obvious.
Naruto stood up and also stretched. "What a movie, huh Hinata?" He looked at the said girl. She was currently slumped on the couch, not replying. "Hinata-Chan?"
Itachi and Rain just made their way upstairs. TenTen grinned at Neji's slightly frightened face.
"Geez Neji, I didn't know you were scared of that movie." She giggled and tugged one of his chocolate locks.
--
After everyone had left to go to their own rooms (Naruto had to carry Hinata), Sakura decided to watch the Korean movie by herself. She went to the kitchen to prepare herself some popcorn.
"Ahhh…"
Sakura froze in her spot. She could hear the faint moaning of the Grudge. Yelling, she grabbed a pot and slammed the figure behind her.
"OW!" The person loudly hissed.
That definitely didn't sound like the Grudge. Sakura looked over nervously at the person whom she had just pummeled. She gasped when she saw spiky raven colored locks.
"S-Sasuke-kun!" She scurried over to him and helped him up quickly while constantly apologizing. "I'm sorry, so, so, so sorry! I'm sorry!"
He rubbed his red cheek. Sakura felt even guiltier.
"I hit you in the face?! I feel terrible!" She said in a loud tone. He just smirked at her.
"It's okay... it's my fault for scaring you." Sasuke replied, trying to make her feel better. 'But god damn that hurt!'
He glanced at the popcorn that was currently being in the microwave. "Why are you making popcorn this late at night?" He questioned.
"I'm going to watch a movie!" He cocked an eyebrow up.
"This late at night?"
"Well…I was really looking forward to watching that Korean movie…" Sakura replied slowly.
Once the microwave began beeping, signaling that the popcorn was done, Sasuke took out a large bowl and dumped the popcorn in it. He took her by the wrist and walked into the living room.
"Eh?" Sakura was confused.
"I'm watching the movie with you." He said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Her confused face quickly brightened up. She hopped onto the couch as Sasuke inserted the movie. He sat down next to her and the two watched while munching on the popcorn.
--
The credits began rolling. "The movie's done. Let's get some slee—"
He was about to stand up when he felt some weight holding him down. He glanced at Sakura, who was fast asleep. He sighed as he turned off the DVD player and the TV. He threw away any leftover kernels and washed the bowl. Then, the Uchiha walked to Sakura and sighed again.
'She wants to watch a movie…and then she falls asleep…'
He gingerly picked her up bridal style and slowly walked up the stairs.
You see love at first is summer time
That's when you think that everything's fine
No one ever thinks its gonna end
But when things go wrong and winter comes
You're gonna need to run to someone
Left alone you'll just freeze up again
But you should know
When it gets too cold
You're not alone
I'll melt the snow
Sasuke opened the door to his room and placed her carefully onto his bed and pulled the covers up. She looked so sweet when she was asleep. Her mouth was slightly open, making her look even cuter.
He went to the bathroom and then slowly went on his bed, careful not to wake up the pink-haired girl. He pulled the blanket over his cold body and smirked at her. Finally, Sasuke fell asleep.
When it gets too cold
You're not alone
I'll melt the snow
