It was football practice and Sasuke was a bit annoyed. The coach had asked the girls to come watch them and they were all yelling his name, moreover they hadn't even started. He spotted her sitting next to Hinata and surprisingly snacking on some nuts (note the sarcasm). He smirked towards her direction and she waved with fake enthusiasm before she rolled her eyes. He vowed to impress her then and there.
"Did you see how many goals I made?" He asked with a hint of smugness as they were walking home.
"You scored? I was kind of busy with my nuts."
"You...didn't see even one?" He looked disappointed as she shook her head.
"It's cool." It sounded forceful in his ears and prayed she wouldn't notice.
"5, one free-kick." His eyes widened.
"Don't look so surprised." He only smirked as they continued in silence.
Kushina muted her mother's endless talk.
"...and you'll join us right?" This was directed to her. She internally panicked and looked at Sasuke for help, who mouthed 'shopping'.
"I uh can't."
"And why not?"
"I have..."
"We have a biology assignment we got to do together." He saved her.
"Oh I'm soo proud of you for keeping school first." She gave out an awkward laugh.
"Well then, me and Mikoto we'll be off to Candylicious."
"Yea okay-" her eyes widened. Did I hear right?!
"Bye!" As soon as they left, Kushina turned to a smirking Uchiha.
"Did my mom just say Candylicious.." her eyes darkened.
"Yup."
"And you gave me a false accusation!"
"Pretty much."
"HOW DARE YOU DELIBERATELY LIE TO ME ABOUT CHOCOLATE?!"
"I just had something more important for us to do." She raised her eyebrow.
"I got a new game."
"UCHIHA SASUKE!"
He had directed her to his room after she had cooled down and promised to never trust him again and they played until the sun set. After a while, he left her alone in his room. She took this as an opportunity to find some dirt she could use for revenge.
"What is taking him so long?!" She checked her watch and cursed under her breath as it read 12:01am. She went downstairs to show him a piece of her mind and quietly entered the kitchen.
"Uchiha!" The lights went out and she became alert. Sasuke walked in with a candle lit cake and she just stared.
"This was the real reason why I didn't want you to go."
"What...?"
"Happy birthday Kushina." He got closer to the point where the only thing between them was the cake in his hands.
"I made it myself, I'm sorry I kept you waiting." She smiled brightly and he stared into her glowing blue eyes. She blew the candles and again it was dark, but none of them seemed to mind. Sasuke eventually put the cake on the counter and switched on the lights. He was attacked by a ball a red as she jumped onto him and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you Sasuke..."
"I'm leaving the cake here."
"And why is that?"
"Like I'd take an Oreo, chocolate and cream cake into my house, nothing is left for long. Protect it for me."
"Burden..."
"I am amazing." She grabbed the collar of his shirt and dragged him along.
"H-hey!"
"You're taking me home Uchiha. Do you honestly expect me to go out this late?"
"Yes..." she released him with wide eyes and started to walk outside.
"I'm joking!" He caught up to her and walked her home.
"...and there was a lollipop tree!" Kushina tried to not be so disappointed and kept reminding herself of what he did for her.
"Oh and here." Her mother gave her a rather large orange bag.
"Thanks mom!" It was filled with loads of different chocolates and sweets.
"It's not from me dear."
"Huh?"
"He didn't tell you? How sweet!"
"Who mother!"
"Sasuke gave his mother some money to buy you all that." She gestured to the bag.
"A-are you sure?"
"Oh my god, you're blushing!"
"I am not blushing." She scoffed indignantly.
"My little girl is all grown up and has a potential boyfriend already!"
"He is not my potential anything!"
"It's okay to be shy; we all are in the beginning."
"M-mother!"
"Okay, okay I'll stop, but we are not through with this topic yet."
She bolted to her room and picked out the contents of the bag one at a time, all the more gawking as she went on. There was a folded paper at the bottom which she opened.
$500. Buy her the following:
The biggest lollipop there; Hershey bars, all must be cookies n crème because the chocolate one is bitter to her; anything weird that has to do with nutella, preferably poki; MnMs; the biggest Snickers, a pack of Galaxy; sour licorice, éclairs and some curly wurly (Cadbury company). About $200 will be left, buy her anything that you please. Do not tell her I did any of this. Thank you mum.
She was speechless. How could he do all of this... She started to recall everything, from the time they first met up until today. Her heart beat started to quicken and she tried to calm her flaming cheeks as she shivered terribly. A tear made its way down her cheek.
I'm in love with Uchiha Sasuke.
