AN: Hello :) I hope you guys enjoy reading this. I'm sorry for any errors.

Naruto is not mine.

Sai wasn't usually like that but these feelings were overwhelming for him.

"I.. I have to go to.." Sakura said.

"Huh? Why?" Naruto asked.

"He's our friend Naruto... Something's been bothering him." Sakura replied as she walked away. She dashed her way out of the training grounds to catch up to Sai.

"Sai!" Sakura shouted.

Sai didn't budge, he continued walking.

"Sai, wait!" Sakura said with a worried expression on her face.

"What?" Sai asked as he stopped.

"Is something wrong?" Sakura asked, her lips pursed, her face flushed from the sparring.

Sai looked at the girl, he kissed her once again. Making her blush, Sai broke apart as he looked at the girl again.

Sakura understood, he wants to talk to her in private. Sai and Sakura walked all the way to the former root's place.

"Now can you tell me?" Sakura asked as she entered the flat.

Sai took a deep breath as they both sat on the couch.

"I.. was jealous.." Sai said, he couldn't bear to look at her in the eyes.

"Jealous? Of Neji?" Sakura was shocked.

"Yes, I just don't like his over familiarity with you. Is that wrong?.." Sai explained.

"Yes.. and No.." Sakura said.

"It's the first time..." Sai sighed.

"What?" Sakura asked.

"It's the first time, I'm like this..." Sai said, you can see the bafflement in his eyes.

"I.. I see.." Sakura replied.

"I.. I'll do my best .." Sai said as he finally looked at the girl.

"Huh?" Sakura was confused.

"It's okay if you still don't get it Ugly..." Sai replied he leaned on his couch.

"Don't call me Ugly!" Sakura was going to punch him when Sai suddenly held her down on top of him, his hands were on the small of her back.

"Sai l-let goooo!" Sakura protested as she tried to pull away from him.

"Ugly, You don't have a choice. I love you." Sai said bluntly making Sakura weak in his arms.

"Let's just... stay here." Sai added, he closed his eyes to take a nap. All the emotional stress was very troublesome for him.

Sakura was still frowning as she observed the boy under her, she wasn't sure what to feel. She may be mad, but they're comrades. They're quite close despite the taunting, she understood how Sai felt. When she first experienced love she was frustrated as well, she was jealous of every girl and every guy who neared Sasuke. She looked at the soft expression on Sai's face once again, she sighed in defeat as she rested her head on his chest as they melted into eachother's warmth.

Sakura blinked a few times to see the guy before her gone. She rubbed her eyes as she got up, it was about 8 in the evening. Then she heard a click on the door, she turned around to see a water drenched Sai only wearing a towel on his hips. Sakura instantly blushed as she observed the guy across the hall.

"Ugly, close your mouth." Sai commented as he walked all the way to the kitchen to get a drink.

"Sh-Shut up!" Sakura retorted.

"Have dinner here, the glazed pork is going to be done soon." Sai droned as he casually walked to his room and got dressed.

Sakura was fidgeting on her sit, she was nervous. The sight of Sai was warming her body up. The pale ninja went back to the couch, he wore only shorts that ended on his knee.

"I thought you were going to put on clothes?!" Sakura was shocked as she tried to hide her blush.

"This is clothing, I always wear this." Sai yawned a he stretched out his arms on the head of the couch.

"Sakura.." Sai sighed.

"Hmmm?" The cotton candy haired ninja hummed.

"I really like you." Sai said, he felt peace everytime he said that.

"I.. I know.." Sakura replied.

Sai neared the las, he quickly wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on her neck.

Sakura patted Sai's head, she could smell the essence of the shampoo he used, wafting from his wet hair. His cold skin on her warm flesh, His breathing tickled her neck.

"Y'know... if you're not protesting in my actions then does that mean you love me?" Sai smiled.

"I.. don't know.." Sakura's voice cracked.

"Then.. I'll court you." Sai replied.

"Can I? .. Can I court you?" Sai added as he raised his head to face each other.

"I ... I can't turn you down, can I?" Sakura said in a defeated tone.

"Nope." Sai gave an innocent smile, he was about to lean in for a kiss when suddenly the timer went off.

TING

"That's dinner." Sakura said as she heaved.

Sai was surprised for a bit but then reverted back to his old self. He quickly stood up and got the food.

"Sai.. thanks for supper.." Sakura followed.

Sai looked at her in response, the night went on as they ate. That night, the last thing they talked about was the incident earlier. The only thing that's different was Sai, he was flirting. It wasn't like the cheesy flirtatious lines some other guys used on her, Sai was smooth and sleek with his. Sakura blushed here and there, fidgeting and sometimes caught off guard.

"I.. I got to go.. Thank you for dinner." Sakura said.

"Let me walk you home." Sai offered.

"Nah, It's o-okay.." Sakura replied.

"Come on, I'll walk you home." Sai insisted as he opened the door.

"If you say so." Sakura said as she walked out followed by Sai.

"Sai, I want you to do something for me." Sakura said as she looked up to the star filled sky.

"You want me to kiss you?" Sai asked looking stoic.

"No, I wan-" Sakura was cut off.

"You want me to take you right here, right now since there's no one around?" Sai asked once again.

"No." Sakura gritted her teeth as she clenched her hand keeping herself from punching the pale artist.

"You want me to marry you?" Sai asked, still looking emotionless.

"Make up with Neji." Sakura simply said as they both stopped on their tracks.

Sai looked at the girl before her, he wasn't having it. He sighed in a defeated manner as he nodded in reply.

"Okay, here's my stop." Sakura said.

"Good Night." Sai gave a bright smile.

"Thank you for today, Good Night Sai." Sakura replied smiling back.

Sai smirked, he kissed her once again. He kissed her hungrily as he toned down the aggressiveness and trailed kisses to her jaw to her cheek and distanced himself to the flushed girl.

"Anytime you want truffles, I'll give you some." Sai gave a cheeky grin as he walked away, leaving the dazed girl on her doorstep.
