"Are you trying to have phone sex with me Sasuke?"

"I'm surprised he didn't hit you." A deep, seductively apathetic voice sounded to Sakura who rolled her green eyes in response.

"Gaara would never hurt me, he's a good guy." Sakura glared over the phone imaging her handsome friend's emotionless expression.

"Hn, he's a professional fighter with a bad temper." The man's voice still held no emotion.

"He has a huge heart and is great company!" Sakura tried to defend the redheaded fighter who she had just recently broken up with.

"That's what you say about a person who has zero sex appeal." The male droned causing Sakura to snort lightly with amusement.

"Sasuke, I think we're both aware of how much sex appeal Gaara has." Sakura lounged on her beige couch and grinned into the receiver of the phone. "I mean look at those muscles and his arms and that ass…"

"Enough Sakura." The male sounded gruffly releasing a grin from Sakura.

"Sorry Sasuke, couldn't resist. It's adorable to hear you so ruffled up." Sakura laughed into the phone and laid her body full against the couch.

"Well this break up has caused everyone at the studio to be terrified for their lives." Sasuke said to Sakura which caused her to frown sadly to the phone. "He just stomps in the building, grabs some cinder blocks and starts beating the shit out of them, and when I looked at him he growled at me. So thanks for releasing the beast Sakura." Sasuke growled in the phone causing Sakura to smile.

"Sorry." Sakura sung into the phone and got up from the couch, beginning to head for the kitchen. Sakura picked up a plate putting it on the heated stove, intent on fixing food for herself that did not come from a fast food joint.

"What are you doing?" Sasuke's deep voice questioned as he heard the new noises sounding from the other end of the phone.

"Making food, I've been binging on coffee and fast food for the past week which probably isn't good for my health." Sakura dumped a bag of frozen pasta into the plate, trying to heat up the noodles. "However, given that it's Saturday and I've done nothing but lay around the house in my pajamas all day I guess that's not great for my health either."

"You didn't work today?" Sasuke sounded stunned.

"Don't sound too surprised it wasn't my idea." Sakura's annoyed voice matched the furrowed expression on her face as she stirred the noodles. "They wouldn't let me in, they forced me to go home and sleep."

Sakura could feel Sasuke's infamous smirk on his face which caused her annoyance to increase even more. "Don't smirk at me." Sakura whined over the phone and gave an annoyed groan.

"What are you wearing?" He questioned causing Sakura to give the telephone a curious expression.

"Uh," Sakura stuttered but quickly replaced her confused expression with an amused one "Now Sasuke," she drew out the syllables of his name, "Are you trying to have phone sex with me?" She giggled away from the phone, feeling his annoyance radiate from the phone.

"I'm hanging up."

"No don't do that! I'm sorry; it was just such a random question." Sakura laughed and kept stirring the noodles.

"I was just wondering since there's only one shirt that you wear all day around the house." Sasuke's voice was cocky and sounded proud.

Sakura narrowed her eyes, "Yes Sasuke I'm wearing your football t-shirt, it's the most comfortable thing I own." Sakura said, "Well, you own I guess technically." Sakura continued awkwardly.

"The shirt looks better on you than me."

Sakura blushed and muttered a quiet "thanks" but quickly turned quiet.

After a few moments of silence Sakura began to think of ways to get off the phone and make it natural, but Sasuke beat her to it.

"Sakura, I'm not Itachi." His voice was serious with a no questions allowed attitude.

Sakura's face turned white and she stared at the telephone. "What?" Sakura stated dumbly in the phone.

"Whenever I compliment you, you suddenly stop talking as if you think Itachi is the one talking to you. I'm not my brother Sakura, I'm not going to ask you to move in with me just a couple weeks into our relationship." Sasuke's voice never wavered while Sakura had stopped stirring, the noodles forgotten.

"I know that." Sakura said and leaned up against the counter.

"Do you?" Sasuke sounded unsure, "We've been friends for a long time, just as long as you and Naruto. You've dated my brother, Naruto, and Gaara when is it my turn?" Sasuke asked her which caused her to gape.

"It's not like I just randomly choose a guy to date for each month!" Sakura exclaimed.

"All I know is that you're running out of excuses for us not to see each other as more than just friends. You've used my brother as an excuse, as our friendship as an excuse, and my lack of communication skills too." Sasuke pointed out all these things which caused Sakura to flush in embarrassment.

"I'm not my brother, you've dated Naruto who you've been friends with for just as long, and God knows I'm more entertaining than Gaara. If you want me to stop pursuing you Sakura than give me a real reason why we can't date and I will." Sasuke meant business.

Sakura knew Sasuke was right, since they started college Sasuke made his intentions clear that he was attracted to Sakura. He always looked out for her, throughout those horrifying days of highschool bullying, along with the intense workload of college. They've been best friends forever; her, Sasuke, and Naruto. Sakura always used Naruto as a type of crutch, saying that she would never date either of them.

But now, the friendship line was crossed and Sasuke intended to use that to his advantage.

"You don't have an excuse." Sasuke responded for her. "You want this relationship as much as I do but you're scared, of nothing."

Sakura couldn't say anything; no words would come from her mouth.

Sasuke had always been the honest one. He had never lied to her, be it if she looked fat in a dress for prom, or if she had asked him if he did in fact hookup with Karin from high school. He always had her best intentions at heart, and though many people believed he didn't have a heart she knew that deep down, really deep down he probably had the biggest heart out of all the people she knew.

"Sasuke." Sakura sighed into the phone.

"What?" He asked gruffly, absolutely exhausted from his monologue of feelings that he has just professed.

"Do you want to go get coffee sometime?"

My power's out at school, which means no internet or lights.

The only perk of this is that the light is flickering in the bathroom and it looks like a strobe light.

BRB gonna go rave in the bathroom.
