♡ The Only Player SasuSaku ♡

♡ Part 41: new feelings ♡

TO SAKURA

she quickly took a bath and changed into some fresh clothes. she wore the hockey jersey that kakashi had given her with a pair of black sweat pants as she let her damp her rest on her shoulders. she took a quick glance at the mirror

'sasuke....'

and then her cheeks became a shade of tomato red. she quickly put her hands against her cheeks and stared at her flustered face. even just the thought of him brought butterflies

'i love you sakura'

her eyes widened and she yelled. she didn't even realize what happened until that very moment. the very moment where she realized what they did. kakashi quickly came into the room after hearing her yell

sakura turned to kakashi and he noticed her flustered look

sakura: i kissed sasuke!

she squat down and let the questions flow around in her head

kakashi chuckled

kakashi: good job sakura

she looked up at him and stood up. she walked closer to him and hit his chest lightly

sakura: what was i thinking?

she looked down shyly as she thought about him. 

kakashi: you were thinking about how you'd hav--

her eyes widened and she hit him harder this time knowing what the infamous closet-perv was going to say. 

kakashi laughed

kakashi: i think you realized what you wanted, that's all. 

he smiled as he thought about the way she reacted

kakashi: anyways, are you coming to practice tomorrow?

sakura smiled

sakura: of course

he nodded his head and kissed her forehead

kakashi: i'll start making dinner, you can invite naruto and tell him everything

he already knew that sakura was dying to tell naruto. 

sakura: i'm gonna invite aunt kushina and aunt minato too

he nodded his head and went downstairs. she flopped onto her bed and called naruto. she couldn't wait to tell her best friend and couldn't wait to tell his parents that she was staying. 

TO SASUKE

shikamaru came over by surprise to hang out with his best friend. but he went into his room , he got to only see sasuke laying flat down on his bed while staring up at the ceiling. shikamaru smiled as he noticed the change in sasukes aura

shikamaru: what's with the troublesome smile

he sat down on the floor and rested his back against sasukes bed. sasuke slowly sat up and looked over at the confused yet intrigued shikamaru

sasuke: sakura kissed me

even just saying the words made him faintly smiled although he had to keep his composure. 

shikamaru: did she now... okay but what did you do

sasuke: -mumbling- i told her i love her

shikamaru: speak up uchiha. 

sasuke: i told her i love her!

his eyes widened at how loud he was that he could hear itachi laugh from the other side of the hall

shikamaru smirked

shikamaru: nice one, so are you dating her

he said as he crossed his legs and began taking something out of his backpack

sasuke: hmph no

he looked the other way

shikamaru: whimp

sasuke: wha-- 

he noticed what shikamaru took out of his bag and he immediately lost interest in dissing the hell out of shikamaru. 

shikamaru took out the dango from his bag and opened the box. he offered the raven haired boy some as he stared at it. he took it and thanked his best friend

shikamaru: naruto's mom makes the best dango

he said with a full mouth as he munched on the delicious dango that kushina had often made for him. she knew it was his favourite and so she couldn't help it but make him some. 

sasuke: hn

they ate and talked as they spent the rest of their wednesday night together. 

TO SAKURA

she heard a knock on the door that revealed kushina, minato and the dweeb naruto. they came inside but they all noticed the sudden mood change in sakura

kushina: sakura dear, you look very happy

she said as she hugged the pinkette

minato: it's nice seeing you smile, sakura

sakuras smile widened which made minato chuckle

naruto: sakura-chan, why are you so happy all of a sudden

he happily questioned his best friend as her mood always took a toll on his mood as well

kakashi came and greeted himself as well. 

minato: smells great kakashi, what did you make?

they all headed towards the dinning room to see the fresh and amazing food that the masked man had made. kushinas eyes widened in delight as she held minatos hand

kushina: let's dig in

they all sat down and ate together happily. it was a tradition that had stopped long ago, but the 5 of them used to go over to each others houses every 2 weeks to have dinner with each other. it certainly brought back memories

kushina: now tell me sakura, you seem a lot happier now

she smiled as she awaited the answer from the pinkette

sakura: i'm staying

their eyes widened in delight as they heard the news

minato: that's great sakura, what changed your mind?

sakura gently smiled

sakura: my friend...

naruto mischievously smiled and hit his knee against hers under the table

they continued eating and sakura had excused herself and naruto. They headed upstairs to her room and both flopped onto her bed. They laid down side by side and stared up at the ceiling. Narutos fingers were laced under his head as sakuras her gently laid over her stomach 

naruto: what happened sakura

sakura: i kissed sasuke

his eyes widened and felt his lips form a smile

naruto: that's great

he then smirked.... more so a pervy smirk

naruto: so... when are you going to start dating

he questioned his best friend as he was happy that sakura wasn't leaving anymore. although these thoughts all clogged his real feelings

sakura: i d-dont know naruto

they continued with their hangout together and their night finally ended. at this point, nothing felt real to sakura. it felt nice knowing that her feelings were mutual, although the thought of her parents still ran through her mind which caused this to be bittersweet. was she really going to disobey her parents for the one whom she had grown feelings for? this question stayed in her head as she fell asleep.
