i. they say it's a perfect love story
The dark haired boy glared at the ticking clock.
She was late.
-
-
ii. because he would wait, even when she was late
After around 20 minutes of waiting for her, he took out his cell phone.
Calling Annoying
Ring
Ring
Ring
"HAPPY DAY MY LOVELIES!"
He winced.
"I, Haruno Sakura, am not available right now because I'm either fighting baddies, eating goodies or hanging out with my best buddies! Leave me a message and I'll call you back! HAVE A HAPPY DAY!"
He rolled his eyes.
He left a message.
"Sakura…"
-
-
iii. and he'd call her to make sure she's okay.
He twitched.
She still had not returned his calls.
He took out his phone reluctantly and dialed her number again.
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
BEEP
He quickly held the phone away from his ear, expecting the deafening voicemail.
"HAPPY DAY MY LOVELIES!"
He sighed.
He left a message nonetheless.
-

iv. and he'd forgive her, even if she missed their date
Sasuke glared down at the pink haired girl, his onyx eyes scorching.
"Why didn't you pick up your phone?" he demanded.
She blinked owlishly at him and he was attracted to her pretty eyes and long long lashes that fanned her face nicely. Slowly, her confused expression turned into an irritated frown. She poked his chest accusingly and he almost jumped at the contact.
"You owe me a new phone," she said.
She started to pull her hand back but he captured it quickly, her thin thin wrist in his tight grasp. She flinched when his grip tightened uncomfortably. He saw and relaxed his hold slightly.
"What?" he hissed, scowling fiercely.
She matched his expression.
"You broke it!" she protested childishly, flinging her other free hand wildly, gesturing angrily at him.
"What the fu– What the hell you talking about?"
She scrunched up her nose in distaste and pulled her hand away, crossing her arms, looking away peevishly.
His scowl deepened and he wanted to shake her. He was goddamn worried when she didn't pick up. Something could have happened to her.
(Aliens abducted her?)
Her gaze flickered to him and he continued to glare. She let out a frustrated breath.
"You woke me up from my nap," she said angrily.
He stared.
"The phone went ring! ring! but I was dreaming of raspberry cheesecake and jello and pretty sunflowers but then it woke me up and I thought it was my alarm clock which confused me because I didn't set an alarm but then it stopped ringing so I thought it went on snooze."
He marveled how she could say all that in one breath.
"So why didn't you pick up the other times I called?"
"Well, I was sleepy and cranky that it woke me up from my nap."
He waited.
"So I threw it against the wall."
He twitched. Typical Sakura.
"It broke," she said forlornly.
His hands itched to slap her.
"No fuckin– no freaking duh."
She glared. "You owe me a phone!"
-
-
v. and he'll give her his cell phone
He snorted.
She ranted.
He resisted.
She cried.
He despaired.
Acting quickly, he thrust his silver phone into her small flailing hands. Immediately, she quieted, her large, watery eyes blinking.
"Sasuke-kun, this is your phone," she said, her voice soft and sweet now.
He looked away, his scowl ever present. "Just take it."
Sakura beamed, "Thank you, Sasuke-kun!"
-
-
vi. because he needs to make her happy
He made the mistake of looking at her. Her smile blew him away. Turning quickly, he walked away and she followed behind, playing with her new phone happily.
"Ne, Sasuke-kun, how many times did you call me?"
Oh the horror of Uchiha Sasuke. He felt his ears burn and his mouth turn dry. He whipped around to see Sakura working furiously at the phone, scrolling down his recent calls, her emerald eyes wide.
"Sakura, look! Santa Claus!"
Her head whipped around. "EH? WHERE?"
The phone was deftly snatched out of her hands and she turned back around to see the owner gone.
She pouted.
"Sasuke-kuuuuun!"
No answer.
She smiled.
He had called her.
27 times.
-
-
vii. and so that he can call
She wouldn't know until she got a new phone a week later and checked her messages.
You have 27 missed calls from Sasuke-kun
"You have 27 unheard messages."
-
-
viii. and leave her a message
BEEP
"Saturday, March 6, 1:26 pm."
"Sakura…Pick up. You're late."
His voice husky and annoyed, with such intensity that it sent delicious shivers down her spine each time.
"You have 26 unheard messages."
BEEP
"Saturday, March 6, 1:30 pm."
"Pick up the damn phone."
She frowned.
"You have 25 unheard messages."
BEEP
"Saturday, March 6, 1:36 pm."
"What the fuck are you doing?"
She tsked at his language.
"You have….
BEEP
"Where the hell are you?"
BEEP
"What kind of laws are you breaking?"
BEEP
"You'd better be fucking alive."
BEEP
"You're annoying."
BEEP
BEEP
BEEP
26 messages
-

viii. and tell her
"You have one unheard message."
"Saturday, March 6, 3:41 pm."
BEEP
-
-
ix. that he loves her
"………………"
She hears him sigh tiredly.
"Fuck, Sakura."
He lets out another frustrated sigh and she almost laughs.
"Just call me back when you get this message."
She waits a beat and then hears it.
"I love you."
-
-
x. it's the perfect love story
She dialed his number.
Calling Sasuke-kun
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
She waited patiently.
He had never missed any of her calls.
Sure enough, he picked up.
"Sakura."
She smiled. "Sasuke-kun," she said softly.
"What's wrong? Are you hurt? Where are you?"
Her smile widened and her emerald eyes sparkled brightly.
"Sasuke-kun."
At the other end, he frowned.
"Sakura?"
She took a deep breath.
"HAVE A HAPPY DAY!"
And she hung up. Sasuke cringed away from the phone.
"Oi. What the– Oi? Sakura? Sakura?"
He slammed his phone shut angrily. What the hell was the girl's problem?
His phone rang again and he glared down at it.
You have one new text message from Annoying
He flicked it open.
-
-
She's glad she has him by her side.
-
-
I love you
-

It's the perfect love story.
