He can't believe it, he seriously can't believe it.
"You spilled coffee on my new, one-of-a-kind, will-not-be-released-until-2013 Xbox 720."
"Eh—I'm sorry?"
"…"
"Sasuke-kun?"
"…"
"I didn't spill it!"
"…"
"STOP NOT TALKING!"
"…"
"Waaaah, Sasuke-kun~"
"Sakura do you know how much this costs?"
"No?"
He sighed and sat down on the light-blue carpeted floor. Sasuke stared at his broken console dejectedly. It was fizzing out small sparks of lightening. It smelled of caramel and small smoke. For the first time in his life, he wanted to cry.
"Sasuke-kun, I'm really sorry I didn't—"
"It's forty-five thousand dollars."
"Oh. Erm—" She really didn't know what to say after that, "—Wow Sasuke-kun, I'm sorry."
"Plus the shipping, which was another five thousand dollars."
"…"
"And the fact that they locked up my beautiful Aston Martin for a year because of this."
"Sasuke-kun, I'm so—"
"Please, just please don't speak."
Sakura felt like crying right after that, Sasuke never looked so broken in his whole life. Sasuke though, was completely afraid of telling this to his parents. They may be rich, but the fact that a forty-five thousand dollar (fifty if you count the shipping) video game console was destroyed after a good ten days.
"I-I don't know what to say," She said very softly, trying to get near him.
"Then please," he coldly hissed, "Don't say anything."
After that, their relationship has gone downhill.

Sakura avoided him, for three weeks. Ever since the incident, she was terrified of approaching him. Sakura believed that he avoided her too. He skipped classes when he knew she was in that class. He moved his locker farther away from hers, right down hallway on the opposite side of her own locker.
And since she was guilty, she cried helplessly every night.
At one hopeful day, her mother approached her while she cried. "What's wrong sweetie? Something happened between you and Sasuke?"
If it was possible, she cried even harder at the mention of his name. "Yes! Yes and it's—it's all my fault. My fault! My fault!"
Her mother cradled her small child on her chest and kissed her head, whispering caring words while Sakura silently sobbed.
"I spilled coffee on his fifty-thousand dollar video game console, mom! Why, why am I so stupid?"
Her mother sighed and gently pulled her daughter out of her arms to face her. "Sakura," she wiped the tears from her daughter's cheeks, "I'll give you the money to replace the console—"
"Really mama? Oh my gosh! Thank you!"
"—But, you have to pay me back every penny, which means no shopping, no allowance, and no Porsche for a whole year. Is that okay?"
Sakura squealed and hugged her mother as loving she could. "That's okay mom! That's definitely okay."
Her mother hugged back and pulled out a check that says fifty thousand dollars.

A few days later, Sakura went to Sasuke's house carrying a brown package nervously.
Itachi let her in Sasuke's room with a smile, "Go ahead."
"Thanks Itachi-nii." She smiled back.
As soon as she entered, she saw Sasuke still staring at the broken down video game console and trying to test it by pressing the buttons if it still worked. Nothing happened. It was still as broken as it was before.
"Sasuke-kun—"
"What." He hissed as cold as she last met him.
"Just please take this," She held out her arms and placed the brown package in front of him. "I'm sorry for breaking your console. So I got the same thing and took the punishment for my mom—"
He ignored her rambling and opened the package. His eyes nearly twinkled because of the content.
"Y-You bought this?" He said shakily.
She smiled sheepishly, "Well not really, my mom gave me the money but it was me who was found the console. Did you know there were only seven left in the whole world? It's a good thing I bought it before—"
She didn't have much to say because Sasuke lovingly took her into his arms and softly pressed his lips against hers.
"Thank you."
She cuddled under his warm touch and giggled.
"Anything for you, Sasuke-kun.

Sorry if I took so long. This prompt was actually a combination of two prompts, video games and coffee. So I decided to do both in one fic. So cool~ And so much fluff.
