Disclaimer: I don't own Narutoooo if I did there would be at least on SasuSaku kiss .
Sakura could have sworn she was taking part in one of those cliché love movies, in which the girl is in problem (usually sexually harassed by some kind of creep) and the protagonist of the movie comes right in time and saves her.
The pink haired girl shook her head and tried to focus on the situation. What the hell am I thinking anyways?, she thought and mentally face palmed. She glared at the creep only to see his face turning really, really pale, something that caused an enormous Cheshire Cat grin appear on her face. Sakura could have handled the situation also by herself, but the introduction of Sasuke seemed to make the guy piss his pants.
She wouldn't be laughing if Sasuke's face wasn't so serious.
"Uchiha..?" the creep mumbled and took a step away from Sakura with his gaze still locked on Sasuke's.
Sasuke nodded. "Now go, unless you want to disappear from the earth's sight, by just making a phone call or simply kicking your ass" the raven haired boy added taking out his phone and looked fiercely at the guy. Sakura could swear hearing the creep swallowing in fear, before turning on his heels and running away.
Sasuke muttered something like 'fucking prick' and ran his hand through his black hair. He walked slowly and sat next to Sakura and sighed. "This is the most cliché thing I have ever done…" he murmured looking away. But Sakura's brain was kind of busy thinking "DAMN TOO CLOSE" over and over again. His arm was like a few centimeters away. She shook her head and a strange feeling pooled in her stomach when she thought one thing.
He had come. She was too scared to ask him though why he had decided to meet her again. She didn't want him to leave actually.
Sakura was lost in her thoughts when she felt something pocking her arm. She turned her head and glared. "Here" Sasuke said without looking at her. Sakura narrowed her eyes in confusion and took the aluminum foil wrapped thing in her hands. Her fingers started unwrapping the top of it and then her face brightened.
"A sandwich?" she asked Sasuke in surprise and he slowly nodded. "Did you make this? For me?"
"No, for me" Sasuke answered with a slight tone of sarcasm and turned his eyes at her. A slight blush started spreading all over Sakura's face and she quickly turned around to hide it.
He had made something for her. For her. And it wasn't the first time he had showed such behavior towards her. Sasuke…I hope you don't do all this for some sneaky reason…I hope you are really the wonderful person under that bastard attitude…"Thanks…" she whispered and smiled genuinely at the boy.
He looked at her for a few second, before turning his head around. "Hn. Eat" he told her with an ordering tone and she was about to complain about that tone, when she noticed a slight blush on Sasuke's cheeks. Is he blushing…?, she wondered and her eyebrows raised in surprise. No…it must have been my imagination, Sakura thought and took a bite from the sandwich.
God, it was freaking awesome. Sasuke was looking at her with the tip of his eye, something that she found both cute and creepy. Then a thought flashed in her mind.
"Hahuke" she said while swallowing the sandwich bite.
"What have I told you about eating before talking?" Sasuke replied narrowing his eyes. Sakura rolled her eyes. "Sorry. I just..wanna say also thank you for before." Sasuke raised and eyebrow. "I mean…" Sakura tried to explain "about saving me from that weird creepo. I mean creepy weirdo. Wait creepo sounds quiet cool, anyway, well-"
"It's not a big deal" Sasuke stopped her mumbling and Sakura flashed a smile. She was about to take a bite from her sandwich again, when another thought stopped her, making her feel bad. She started fondling the aluminum foil around the bitten sandwich.
"What are you doing?" Sasuke asked her with a confused look on his face. Sakura sighed sadly and put the sandwich on the bench next to her, before placing her hands on her cheeks, resting her head.
"I feel guilty…" she muttered and looked at Sasuke. "I will give the sandwich to my family…I have also eaten in the morning…"
"Oh" Sasuke replied looking away. Is he angry about me not eating it? Did it irritate him?, she started panicking and bit her lip. They both remained silent for a few seconds looking at the opposite wall.
"You wear different clothes" Sasuke broke the silence staring at her clothes, something that Sakura found quiet disturbing.
She chuckled nervously. "Yeah, I wear these because the ones you gave me were really neat and I wanted to keep them for another time…" Those clothes were seriously clean. And that was something she couldn't really call the clothes she was wearing, or the ones Sasuke had thrown away, even after she would wash them in the river or in the sink of some shop toilette.
"I can bring you another pair of clothes if you want" the boy suggested and Sakura's eyes widened. Was this guy serious or was he playing around with her in order to jump her? No…there was something in those coal eyes that was honest and serious.
She shook her hands in front of her face while chuckling nervously. "No really it's okay!" she exclaimed even if she knew that deep inside her, she wanted those clothes. But Sasuke had done so many things in less than 24 hours and it just looked already illusionary to her.
The boy ran his hand through his hair and sighed. "If you want anything you can tell me, you know."
"I don't want your pity though…"
"I don't pity you, moron. I just want to help." It wasn't like he had told her she was pretty or anything. He had just stated the obvious, plus he had called her 'moron', and she would have normally killed him now. Then why the fuck does my stomach feel fuzzy? Stupid sexy Sasuke with your stupid sexy voice…
She scratched the back of her head nervously. "But…why?"
Sasuke didn't say anything for some seconds, which seemed like eternity to her. "I told you before…I don't know…" he murmured in the end.
"Oh okay…"
It was awkward. It was like they were surrounded by an aura of awkwardness. Sakura sighed. Her life was so totally different than his. He was going probably to some great high school. School was over for her at the age of twelve, when her life changed upside down and she started living in the streets. It was unfair, although she knew she had chosen to live like this. Had Sasuke ever felt hungry? Had he felt broken, abandoned, cold, empty or even wishing to die?
Sakura closed her eyes shut as she felt a wave of sadness hitting her and tears being brought in her eyes. She heard a metro coming and the air from it ruffled her hair softly, sending chills all over her body.
"Why do you sleep here?" Sasuke asked her snapping into her thoughts. Sakura took her gaze from the metro and focused on Sasuke's face between her pink locks that were falling in front of her eyes. His bangs moved softly as the air touched them, something that Sakura found adorable. She started thinking of the answer and shrugged.
"When it's raining, it's a shelter. But I usually sleep here because I like it" she answered receiving a questioning look from the raven haired boy. She softly smiled. "I like the sound of the metro and I don't know I like seeing them come and leave, and people getting in and out of them." Her smile slowly faded and lifted her eyes to meet Sasuke's. "Say, Sasuke, you have been on a metro, right?"
"Aa"
"Well…I haven't. But that's not the point…" She sighed sadly. "Have you ever thought of falling on the tracks?"
Sasuke froze on his place and heard his heart pounding in his ears. He looked at the pink haired girl and tried to analyze her question.
Had she asked him if he had thought of killing himself by falling on tracks?
"Have you…?" he asked her in a quiet tone. She smiled in a both dark and sad way.
To his horror, she nodded slowly. "A lot of times" she whispered and sighed, before turning around and smiling widely at him. "But eh it's okay now!" she continued with a more cheerful tone "I mean, it's not like I have ever thought of it recently!"
Fake. The smile was fake. And what made his stomach sink, was the watering of her eyes. He clenched his fists and looked away. A pain ached his heart, he felt like someone was pressing hard on his forehead. The "conversation" til that moment had been awkward, but it was actually something he quite felt nice with, talking to her and sitting that close to her perfect frame. But those words she had said…
The picture of her falling on the tracks of the metro travelled through his mind, making him sick. "Sasuke...?" he heard her soft voice asking him and he turned around to face her. Her tear glittering green eyes were filled with worry, something that warmed his beating heart.
The boy closed his eyes and rubbed them slowly with the tip of his fingers. "Don't ever" he whispered "fucking do anything stupid like that." He lifted his eyes and grabbed her shoulders, making her gasp. "Ever" he told her looking into her big eyes.
He couldn't help but notice how close they were. Her beautiful lips weren't far from his own, her alluring eyes were looking into his. His grip loosened on her shoulders and he slowly pulled his hands off. "Ugh" he groaned and looked away.
"Hmm…" she replied and looked at the ground. Great now you scared her, asshole, he mentally shouted at himself. "I'll try not to…" her soft, enchanting voice was heard.
Sasuke let a breath he had no idea he had been holding and nodded in agreement, before lifting his hand and poking her forehead. "Ouch!" Sakura did and rubbed her forehead. A small smirk appeared on Sasuke's face. "Hn. Idiot."
"Whatever."
Suddenly the girl shot her body from the bench and stretched her arms in a lazy way. "Hmm this conversation was kinda awkward and I could say troublesome." Sasuke softly smirked. "You sound like a friend of mine" he commented and she turned around with a curious look.
"Really? Is he awesome like me?" Sakura asked him pointing at herself with her thumb.
"I was talking about you calling the conversation 'troublesome'. He says that all the time, along with saying 'what a drag' every time he needs to do something". Sakura crossed her arms and smirked. "Sounds like a really active guy" she joked.
"Aa." Sasuke replied. She looked like a totally different person from the girl he was talking to a few moments ago. It was impossible for him to keep up with those mood swings though. I don't get what's going on in her head. Hn. Bipolar weirdo.
But he couldn't help but wonder; how is she reacting in serious situations? For example, the man from before. What if Sasuke hadn't shown up in time, or hadn't shown up at all? Would he hit her? Would he threaten her in order to…
His fists clenched and swallowed as a painful thought sneaked in his mind; What if it had happened also some another time? Did she have the courage to fight them or did she give in?
"Is everything okay?" she asked him and he realized she was gazing at him with her big green eyes. And it was there again. That strange feeling in his stomach that felt like it was paralyzing him. "Sasuke?" she softly said again.
Why do I fucking like the way she says my name?, he thought and sighed. Why is everything fucked up inside my mind?
"I'm fine" he answered and licked his lips.
Sakura put her finger on her lips and looked skeptical. "Maybe it is the metro station. Maybe you just need some fresh air" she told him after a few minutes and smiled sweetly.
Sasuke slapped his cheek in order to bring himself together after the shock of her fucking wonderful smile. The pink haired girl narrowed her eyes. "What the hell are you doing?"
"Nothing. Maybe you're right" he briefly said rubbing his red cheek.
Sakura's face brightened and she grabbed Sasuke's hand spontaneously with a big smile on her face. "Then come on let's go out!" Sasuke froze, while his eyes were locked on Sakura's whose face went red as soon as she realized what she was doing. Her hand…it's soft and cold…, he thought and felt the need to say something but any word was stuck in his throat.
"I-I-I'm sorry!" the girl almost shouted and let go of Sasuke's hand and took a step back like she was hit by electricity. "I really didn't do it on purpose!"
Sasuke stood up and rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Annoying" he told her as he walked past her.
"Hey who are you calling annoying, caveman?"
Sasuke stopped walking and his eyes twitched. Caveman? He turned his head around and rose his eyebrow. "Is that what you call someone who helped you?"
Sakura opened her mouth to say something, but closed it, and crossed her arms on her chest, pouting in irritation. "Whatever, annoying" she muttered and Sasuke couldn't help but smirked. You are the most annoying of all, he thought and stretched his arms.
"Come on, let's go" he told her and started walking again.
"You want me to come with you?"
Sasuke stopped and closed his eyes. "Aa. Now hurry up."
The corners of his lips were lifted slightly up as he heard small footsteps behind him and saw the pink haired girl walking next to him with the tip of his eye.
Was it really wrong if his heart was beating hard every time that homeless, annoying, loud girl was close to him?
Was it?
