"And on the count of three, open the paper. One, two…"
"Mine has a black dot!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly.
Sakura sighed in exasperation. "I told you Naruto, wait till I say three."
"Mine is blank." Muttered Sasuke gruffly. He always thought this routine of picking paper slips was a complete waste of time. Every time they were on a mission, they'd pick paper slips. Two would have black dots, the other two would be blank. Those with the same kind of paper would room together. It had become a Team 7 thing ever since Sakura thought of the idea. And everyone went along with it because Sakura had proposed it, and well, no one wanted to oppose her. They didn't want their medic nin to botch up healing them 'accidentally', did they?
"Mine is like Dickless." Said Sai, just as unemotional as ever. "So that means Ugly will be rooming with Sasuke."
Sakura gave a small smile at that, and hauled her backpack over her shoulder, heading to her room. "Okay."
Sasuke tried to ignore the feeling in his chest at the fact that he'd be rooming with her for the very first time.
The following night…
The moment they entered the room, Sakura collapsed on the bed in exhaustion. Completing the mission had been more tiring than she thought. After healing all her teammate's injuries, all she wanted to do was fall asleep.
"Sakura." Her roommate grunted, shaking her awake. "You're still injured."
"Hnnnn…Sasuke…leave me alone…"
"Heal yourself first."
"Hnnnngh…" she groaned again, falling back asleep. The Uchiha groaned in exasperation. Five years later, she was still annoying.
He took her hand his, the sudden contact causing her to open her eyes the tiniest crack. "Use my chakra." He said exhaustedly.
"Sasuke, no, you barely have any, and–"
"Use it."
Too tired to complain, she healed herself and they both collapsed on the bed. One part of the Uchiha was screaming that Sakura Haruno was right there beside him on the same bed and they were sleeping side by side, and the other part of him was telling him to shut up and go to sleep. He was about to shut his eyes when he felt her snuggle up to him, causing him to widen his eyes the tiniest fraction.
"Sakura–"
"Shhhh, Sasuke. You're warm."
And he didn't resist, although every fiber of his body was telling him that this was just wrong, because he didn't love Sakura, at least not in that way, right? I mean, he loved her as a friend, a good friend, maybe more than that…but…not in that way, right?
Right?
Somehow, it didn't sound as convincing as Sakura's breathes so close to his ear.
"Sasuke-kun." She muttered sleepily, her breaths becoming shallower. "I love you."
Sasuke struggled to keep his eyes open, hoping he didn't just image what she said. "Hn."
"I mean it Sasuke. I love you. I always have."
Now. He had to say it. He had to say it or it would burst out of him. As he felt her breathing even out and was sure she was asleep, he whispered it into the night sky.
"I love you too."
"YES!" The blond boy exclaimed, pumping his fist in the air in joy. "Finally! Took you long enough, teme!"
"It is not proper etiquette to spy on people when they are sleeping, I believe." Said Sai, as he sat down on the chair across Naruto. "I believe you should be giving them their 'personal space'. I highly doubt you are doing that right now, Dickless."
"Oh shut up Sai. I knew bugging their room was a good idea! Now I have blackmail material!"
"Oh you do now?"
Naruto gulped, turning around to see a very pissed Uchiha holding the microphones Naruto had planted in his room in one hand. "I found these in my room. Care to tell me who's responsible?" He growled.
"Ah, Sasuke! Ah…listen, I can explain…"
"Dickless has been listening in on your conversations ever since you and Ugly have been rooming together." Sai said nonchalantly, earning a glare from Naruto.
"Sasuke! I can explain! Ah, why is your Mangekyo Sharingan activated? Sasuke? SASUKE!"
