"Tease"


"Sasuke, why don't you bring that beautiful young woman over here and introduce us to her, hmm. You both seem to be keen on each other ever since our arrival…," Itachi said as he nudged him playfully in the shoulder.

"Yeah… Sasucakes. Bring her over here so I can steal her away from you." Sasuke scowled and shoved his cousin's face away, who had been making kissy faces at him while leaning in close.

With Shisui and Itachi both teasing him, he felt a blush rise on his cheeks, and stuffed both of his hands in his pockets before turning away from them quickly to hide his growing embarrassment. "She's just a… a friend. A teammate," he clarified, after taking notice of his grievance. They weren't friends… certainly not. Just… acquaintances. Teammates. Nothing more. He began to pick at a nonexistent speck on his t-shirt as a means to distract himself from the growing awkwardness.

He couldn't fain disinterest for very long though and found that his gaze slowly moved elsewhere… back to her when he heard the melodic laughter coming from the pinkette as she listened to something that her best friend had said. As if Sakura could sense his gaze on her, she turned around to look at him, and the smile that lit up her face caused his heart to quite literally skip a few beats. She waved at him before shyly tucking a few loose strands of hair behind her right ear, turning her attention back to the blonde who was speaking animatedly with her hands.

He was still looking at her when he heard someone clear their throat. His head quickly swiveled to the right and he felt his temper rise at the look on his cousin's and brother's faces. "Itachi, I'd venture to guess that our boy Sasucakes here is in fact… whipped," Shisui declared as his grin split his lips wider. Leaning slightly towards Itachi, he continued with, "Wouldn't you agree with me, cousin," before nudging him gently with his shoulder.

"Oh, most definitely. I'd go so far as to say he's completely smitten by this.. exotic beauty. I fear you'd better leave her be, Shisui… unless you'd rather lose a limb. I believe Miss Haruno is unfortunately taken." Sasuke scowled darkly, but remained silent as he placed his hands back in his pockets before turning quickly on his heels to walk away… ignoring the laughter behind him and refusing to admit to anything; even if he was (just as his brother had stated) smitten by a beautiful woman who resembled the very manifestation of spring itself.
