♡ The Only Player SasuSaku ♡

♡ Part 119: perfect for her ♡

MARCH 27th [ONE DAY BEFORE SAKURA'S BIRTHDAY]

TO SASUKE

sasuke: sorry?

hidan: oh my god you're so stupid, put them into the mold!!

sasuke: but it's hot, won't it burn the mold?

hidan face palmed himself, naruto burst out into laughter and shikamaru simply shook his head with a smile. 

shikamaru: did you already forget everything hidan taught us last week? gosh you're so stupid.

the insults only got worse. 

hidan: her birthday is tomorrow, get your crap together. pour the chocolate you made into the flower molds and put them into the freezer. 

the raven did as told with murmurs escaping his lips. he really wanted to make sakura's birthday perfect, but the insults from his friends weren't all that motivating nor supportive. 

hidan: and now we wait. 

shikamaru and naruto sighed in relief as they plopped onto the nearest couches but sasuke remained on his feet with eyes darted to the kitchen floor. 

sasuke: her parents will understand, right? 

naruto: i knew this was going to happen. 

with a small sigh, naruto stood back to his feet and jumped his way to his best friend who was finally letting his doubts get to his head. he wrapped an arm around the raven and showed him his best smile to reassure him. 

naruto: her parents will eventually understand that you guys are in love so don't even worry about it. her parents are nice people for the most part and so they'll let sakura have fun on her birthday. i'm sure that once they find out that of all people, she decided to spend her birthday with you then they might just finally accept you guys. 

sasuke: sakura still hasn't made plans yet, right?

naruto tightened his wrapped arm around his best friend 

naruto: i don't think so, but you should probably call her now and tell her before she actually does make some y'know. 

sasuke: hmph. 

TO SAKURA

sakura: just give him a chance! you haven't seen the sasuke that i've been with all this time, so just try to see him the way i do, just this once. 

mebuki crossed her arms and flattened her lips into a frustrated line. 

mebuki: being friends is what you should be with sasuke, nothing else. we've known sasori for so long and that's what makes him so much more of a better fiance for you. why don't you see him the way we do? 

sakura flopped down onto their living room couch and dug her face into her hands. 

sakura: sasori is my friend and i can't see him the way you do, but you can try to see sasuke the way i do so just give it some time. please? 

her parents stared down to her and silence filled the air with kakashi standing a few meters away from them and leaning against the wall. 

kakashi: just give them a chance, after all you did say that sakura has grown up into a fine girl so that only makes sakura only that much more capable to decide who to love. 

sakura's lips curved upwards and removed her hands from her face. the masked man gave her a wink and she gave one in return for the defense he provided her. mebuki eyed her husband for a moment before the latter decided to speak.
