Sakura only had one class this morning and it wasn't until eleven thirty so she decided to sleep in. Naruto had gotten up around six and headed out at exactly six forty five. She hadn’t moved when he exited his bedroom so Naruto had assumed she was asleep when he leaned in and pressed his warm lips against her forehead. Her face flushed so as he did, she'd never been so happy that the room was dark. The only light that filtered in the darkness of her room came in from the bathroom. Naruto had forgotten to switch it off before he left for class.
Sakura's eyes wondered over towards her other roommate’s bed and mourned its emptiness. Sasuke hadn't returned last night. He hadn't called or left a message at the front desk for them, and no one had seen him. This worried her a bit more than she’s expected and that in its self was unsettling for her.
Naruto reassured her that it wasn't unusual for Sasuke to go MIA every once in a while and that he'd be back home by the time she came from class. She could only go on his word and hoped that Naruto was right. Strangely, he didn't know what she'd do if Sasuke got hurt somehow.
Somewhere in between her thoughts of Naruto and Sasuke, Sakura had fallen back to sleep. It hadn't been for long though. The sound of her bedroom door opening awoke her and her eyes instantly went to the clock. Only half an hour had gone by since Naruto left out and she'd fallen asleep. No one else was there with her, she was all alone. Her heart raced as she listened to the sound of someone entering the room behind her.
"My fucking head is killing me" Sakura heard them say and knew it was Sasuke, but he didn't sound like himself.
His words slurred and his feet dragged, and it seemed to take him much longer to pull himself inside their room than usual. He was drunk, this she knew, but if all the other signs hadn't been enough, the feel of him climbing into her bed practically screamed it. This was new. Sasuke usually kept a comfortable distance from, well, everyone, but especially his roommates.
Having him in her bed made Sakura’s stomach flutter, both in a good and bad way. No matter how many times she’d secretly dreamt of similar occurrences in her dreams, somehow, this didn’t feel the same. She turned to face Sasuke, but just as before, her lips were stolen. Once again, Sakura was being kissed by one of her roommates in her bed knowing that he wasn’t even remotely aware of just what he was doing. After gathering herself enough, she pulled away.
"Sasuke, what are you doing?"
"Just shut up," was his only reply to her question before he kissed her again.
This time, though, he pushed more of his weight onto her, pinning Sakura's arms to the bed and pulling himself above her. Even though he was drunk and even though his mouth tasted of stale liquor, Sakura couldn't deny just how good it felt, how happy she was to have him dominate her. Here she was actually being kissed by the one guy she liked. Why would she stop him? Because she knew it wasn't her he really wanted to kiss.
Sasuke pulled back from her enough to look into her eyes and whispered Naruto’s name before leaning in to take another kiss. However, he never made it. Quickly he leaned to the far side of Sakura's bed and threw up all over the floor. Then he passed out.
"Great..."
~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~
SPLASH!!!!
Sasuke jumped and tried to sit up. The coldness of the water coupled with the feeling of being pinned down pulled him out of his drunken slumber like nothing else. He shook his head to rid his face of the cold water and tried to free himself from her, but the more he resisted the more his head pounded and that was enough to calm him down. Sasuke glared up at Sakura.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" he asked his pink-haired roommate.
"Do you like Naruto?" she asked, ignoring his question.
"What the hell, Haruno? No way, now get off!" he yelled, but only succeeded in making the throbbing in his head worsen. He closed his eyes to gathered himself and ease the pain.
"Liar!" Sakura said when he finally opened his eyes.
"Can you try not to be so loud? It's killing me and what are you talking about?" He asked this and the look on his face would have been enough to convince anyone else that he was being genuine, but Sakura knew better.
His cheeks were just too pink and his frown was just a bit too deep. He was forcing himself to seem just a little too angry so it was easy for her to tell that he was embarrassed. So not working.
"This morning around seven fifteen you finally brought your intoxicated ass back home. I was worried so I couldn't sleep, but then you climbed in my bed. It kind of shocked me so I turned to see if you were okay and that's when--" she trailed off, her own cheeks starting to warm with embarrassment.
"Wait, you don't mean we fucked, do you?" Sasuke asked
"No! But we kissed….twice."
Sasuke looked at her with so many emotions crossing his face, but Sakura wasn't quite sure what they all meant. She knew she saw embarrassment, shock and maybe even a bit of amusement in there though.
"It would have been a third time, but" she looked away from him. ", after you whispered Naruto's name and tried to kiss me again you got sick and passed out."
There was nothing but absolute awkward silence between the two of them for a stretch of time. Sakura was the first to look back at Sasuke, but he wouldn't meet her eyes. She knew how it felt to have a very important secret ousted by someone and how it made her feel so Sakura decided to move on, at least for the time being.
"Now here's a secret of my own, Sasuke."
The sound of her saying his first name for the first time was enough to gain his attention, but this time it was she who couldn't meet his eyes.
"I like you." Sakura peeked down at him from the corner of her eyes to get a quick glance at his reaction to her confession, but what she saw was not what she was expecting.
"Why don't I believe you?" he asked and Sakura finally looked at him full on.
"It's the truth. I really do like you."
"All I've ever heard you say for the last three months is how much you hate me and now all of a sudden you want to tell me you like me?"
"I know that hate is a strong word and that I've said it multiple times, but what else could I say? You're the only person I know that can get under my skin so easily and it frustrated me."
"Since when?" he asked
"I don't know," she said, finally releasing her grip on his arms and allowing him to prop himself up on his elbows. That’s as far as he could go, though since she didn't move from his lap. "I just realized my feelings recently, I guess. You don't see me like that, though, right?" She asked and Sasuke said nothing, and that was answer enough.
"What do you want me to say, Sakura?" he asked, finally, and this time she was the one silenced with temporary shock. It was his first time calling her by her first name as well.
"I...I don't know. Is it just because you like Naruto or is it because you don't find girls, me, attractive?"
Sasuke let out a small irritated noise letting her know that he really wasn't comfortable talking about things like this with her, but it was too late now. She knew the truth and there was no changing that.
"It's not that I...don't like girls, or you."
"So it's just Naruto. But you don't dislike me either?"
"I don't dislike you, but-,"
"You like who you like, right? I guess I can understand,” she said, cutting him off.
"How?" he asked.
"Yesterday after you left me it took me some time to get back to the dorm. It was pretty late and once I got back, Naruto was really worried. For some reason, I guess out of worry, he hugged me, but somehow I got the feeling that that hug was more than just a friendly hug. I tossed the thought aside and tried to tell myself that I was just jumping to conclusions, but then this morning before he left he kissed me."
"He kissed you where?" Sasuke asked
"I swear he thought I was asleep and that it was only on the forehead," Sakura explained quickly. She didn't want another misunderstanding between them. Sasuke moved his arms from underneath himself and plopped back down on his bed with his arm over his face.
"Shit, not the forehead kiss."
"What?" Sakura asked
"I've only seen Naruto kiss one other girl on the forehead and that was the only girl I've ever seen him be serious about."
"So I was right. Naruto likes me," Sakura said it more to herself than to Sasuke. "I'm sorry Sasuke"
"Just leave me alone, Haruno," he said with his arm still hiding his face. He was mad or maybe jealous, but it was all the same to Sakura and she didn't want it to be like that. She grabbed his arms, pulling it away from his face, and pinned them on the bed on either side of his head.
"Stop that and listen to me, Sasuke. It's not my fault. I like you so it's not like I'm doing anything to try and gain his attention. I'm not trying to steal Naruto away from you. The only reason I agreed to go on a date with him was so he'd give me his bedroom and you could have him to yourself. Yes, I knew you liked him even before now, and I knew I liked you, but I didn't want you to be mad at me. Just like you can't help that you like Naruto even though you know he likes me, I can't help that I like you. No matter how many times he comes on to me, I still like Sasuke kun."
Now that her rant was over, Sakura released him and sat up in his lap, but averted her eyes. It took more out of her than she originally anticipated just telling the emo dork how much she liked him. It was just too embarrassing. Again, Sasuke pulled himself up on his elbows and used one hand to run through his dark hair. He was trying to calm himself.
"Look, Sakura, I apologize. I didn't mean to make you upset. I didn't know that you were trying to help me. It’s good you made it home safely that time. It didn't even occur to me that you wouldn't be able to find your way back on your own. I was too blinded by my own problems, I guess. Sorry."
"It's fine. I managed to make it back safely," she said.
"Damn..."
Sasuke was beating himself up about it now that he knew, and that was all the punishment she thought he needed.
"Sasuke, have you always liked men?" Again, he frowned and blushed.
"No. Yes...I don't know."
"Huh?" His mixed answers confused her.
"I've never really liked one over the other. There are things about girls that I like and things about guys that I like, too. I don't even know why I'm telling you this. I just really don't even want to talk about it."
"I'm being serious, Sasuke. If I'm going to try and completely give up on you, I need to know why." He looked at her, just looked, as if he were really seeing her for the first time.
"Let’s put it like this, I wouldn't say no to you if things were....different," he finally said.
"But you like Naruto too much, right?" he didn't answer, and again, that was answer enough. "Is Naruto the first boy you've ever really wanted to date or have you dated other guys before?"
"He's the first."
"Then you've only dated girls before now?" Again, there was that irritated noise Sasuke made when he wasn't comfortable talking about something. Sakura was learning a lot about him in just a short amount of time.
"No"
"No? You haven't dated girls? Why?"
"I've told you before, that type of stuff is just trivial. I don't have time for it."
"So you've never dated anyone?"
"....No," he answered and the look on Sakura's face was more happy than he'd expected.
"Sasuke, are you a virgin?!"
"Shut it! If you laugh, I'll kill you. I have no problems hitting a girl."
Sakura could only giggle because he was cute, and being able to get under his skin was enough of an answer.
"What's so funny?" he asked
"It’s nothing. I'm, I'm just happy. I'm sorry, Sasuke, but it looks like I won't be able to give you up after all."
Sakura moved as suddenly as she said it that Sasuke couldn't do anything when she leaned in and kissed him. The kiss was far from chaste, but still left a little to the imagination. She didn't want to show all her best techniques in the first kiss, after all.
She pulled back from him and said, "It's a good thing most of that water went in your mouth when I splashed you or I'd have tasted nothing but puke. Anyway, I guess now we're even." Though he was shocked by Sakura's sudden boldness, Sasuke tried to play it cool.
"Hn" He acted as if the kiss had no effect on him what so ever.
"Why are you like that? I don't understand."
"Like what?" he asked
"You don't seem like a typical male virgin. You have no problems getting naked in front of others and you act as if a kiss is nothing."
"I never said I hadn't kissed anyone, you only assumed it, and why would I have a problem showing my body? I have nothing to hide."
"I guess you're right. So, the people you kissed, where they male or female?"
"Not telling you. You already know too much about me as it is, Sakura."
"Okay, okay I can respect that. Now, when are we going to tell Naruto?" she asked.
"Tell Naruto what?"
"About everything we talked about. About your liking him? Surely you didn't plan on keeping this a secret now that we've come this far? You have to confess to Naruto."
"Over my dead body."
"What?"
"Naruto's a homophobe and I've kept my secret for years. I think I'd like to keep it that way."
"How long have you liked Naruto, Sasuke?"
"I've known Naruto since middle school, but I only started…..noticing him like that since freshmen year in high school."
"That long? You've known each other that long? Wow. Well, anyway, it's been long enough. If we never get this out in the open and figure out a way to deal with it then it'll just continue. I like you, you like Naruto and he likes me, and it will go on and on until someone is hurt. I really don't want it to be like that so to avoid it all, we have to tell Naruto."
"You can’t force me to do things that I don't want to do, Sakura."
"I'm not trying to, Sasuke, but you know it's the right thing to do,” she said with a firm expression, but he just looked away. Sakura sighed, “Anyway, I have class soon so I have to start getting ready, but please at least think about it. I'll help you and the three of us will get through this somehow. If you and Naruto are as close friends as I think you are then not even this will come in between you. That's what I think." Sakura leaned in and placed a chaste kiss against Sasuke's lips then pulled herself from his lap. Though she had class today, she didn't think she'd be able to focus after everything that’s happened. Not one bit.
~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~
After Sakura left for class Sasuke went down to the social room and made himself a cup of coffee. He took two pain pills and lounged in his bed sipping coffee while listening to some music. His head was already feeling much better, but his mind couldn't stop thinking about the conversation he'd had with Sakura. He still couldn't believe he'd actually admitted out loud that he liked Naruto, or that someone had actually read him enough to notice the tightly moderated signs. He'd had many years to perfect his act of not liking Naruto and in just three months or less a single girl comes in and shatters all his efforts. He didn't know whether he should be pissed or like her more for it. Intelligence had always been one of the things that attracted Sasuke's attention.
He'd been so lost in his thoughts and the sound of his music that Sasuke missed it when his blond friend entered the room. It wasn't until Naruto grabbed him by his shirt and yanked him off the bed making him waste his coffee that Sasuke noticed him at all.
"What the hell, Naruto?!"
"How could you just leave Sakura chan alone in a place she didn't know about?!" Sasuke's mind was still foggy from the alcohol and he just couldn't make it work as fast. That was the reason why he'd decided to skip classes today.
"What?"
"You left Sakura outside school campus by herself for hours. It was dark when she made it back home! What were you thinking? Or were you even thinking at all?" Sasuke pulled himself from Naruto.
"I didn't know she wouldn't remember the way home."
Naruto grabbed him again. "How stupid is that?" Sasuke pushed Naruto away, but he only came back, jacking Sasuke up by his clothes once again. This time, though, Sasuke did the same.
"You need to fucking calm down, Naruto! It was a mistake."
“A stupid mistake, Sasuke! She's a girl! Anything could have happened to her!"
It was Sasuke's turn to get angry. Even though he knew why Naruto cared so much, it still angered him. Jealous boiled over within him.
"Why do you care about it so much, Naruto? You left first, didn't you? If you wanted to make sure she got back home safely then you should have stayed."
"I know that! I regret it, but I didn't know you'd leave her!"
"Fuck this. Let go of my shirt, Naruto."
"What if something had happened to her?!"
"I said let go of me!"
"What if something had happened to her? huh?!"
"Get your damn hands off me!" Sasuke yelled
"Sasuke, you baka!" Naruto screamed and before either of them knew it, they both threw a punch. Equal power, equal speed; both landed a punch on the other's jaw.
Naruto fell to the floor and Sasuke stumbled back on his bed. Silence stretched between them as they tried to remember how to breathe properly, both trying to calm them self. Naruto was the first to make a move. He pulled himself up off the floor rubbing his jaw as he sat on the side of Sasuke's bed and looked at the dark haired man. But Sasuke only glared up at the ceiling.
"I like Sakura chan," Naruto admitted.
"I know," Sasuke said.
"Sorry about all this. I over reacted. You like her too, don't you?" It was only in response to that question that Sasuke finally looked over at Naruto. He kind of figured that was why Naruto acted with so much aggression towards him. It’s because he thinks Sasuke likes Sakura. Sasuke didn't answer, only sat up next to his friend rubbing his jaw.
"Damn it, Naruto. That punch is going to leave a huge bruise."
"Yeah and I think you cracked one of my teeth in the back. Now I gotta make a dentist appointment."
Just then their door swung open and a crowd of guys poured in, but it was Haku who spoke first. "What the hell are you guys up here doing? I could hear you from the first floor."
Naruto turned and smiled at the group of guys and Sasuke gave a small "Hn".
"Ah, sorry about the noise, you guys. Sasuke and I were just having a little talk. We're done now, though."
"Did you two have an argument?" Haku asked
"Sorta," Naruto answered.
"Was it about Haruno san?" this question came from Kurosaki.
"Why do you ask?"
"Just asking, that's all," Kurosaki said, but the grim expression on his face didn't match the neutrality in his voice.
"It's fine," Naruto said, cheerfully avoiding the answer to Kurosaki's earlier question. "We've already solved our problem"
"You guys need to keep it down. It's very rude to disturb the other students," said Haku.
"Sorry about that. We'll try to keep it down next time," Naruto apologized, scratching his neck and smiling as he did. Most of the guys chuckled and shook their heads as they left. Only Kurosaki lingered not finding the situation funny at all. Before Haku could close their door, Sakura approached him from behind.
"Hi, Haku san. What's going on?"
"Hello, Haruno san. Apparently nothing. Your two roommates were just making a little too much noise and the guys and I came to see what all the fuss was about."
"Oh. I'm really sorry about that. I'll try and keep them under control a little better."
"Please do, Haruno san. I wouldn't want to report them because the other students complained. Well, I'll be leaving first."
"Bye." Sakura waved at Haku as he left. It wasn't until she turned back around and bumped into Kurosaki that she finally noticed him. Kurosaki grabbed hold of her shoulders to steady her.
"Oh, Kurosaki kun, you're still here?"
"Yeah, I also came to see what the fuss was about."
"I'm sorry about my roommates. They usually don't keep up so much noise."
"It's fine. So, are you okay?" he asked, his voice gone low so that those two couldn't hear.
"Yes, I'm fine." unconsciously she placed her hand on the taller man's arm. "I never did thank you, Kurosaki kun. You really helped me a lot. Thank you." Surprise filled that one visible deep blue eye as Kurosaki stared down at Sakura. He was flattered and flustered.
"Ahh," was all he could manage to get out while looking away from her and rubbing his head. He was trying not to show her his blushing face, but she saw it anyway and giggled.
"I'll see you around, Kurosaki kun"
"Yeah"
With that, he left and Sakura turned to enter her dorm room. However, Haku had never closed the door to the room so her little moment with Kurosaki hadn't gone unseen. Both Sasuke and Naruto stared at her as she smiled and walked in.
"What?" she asked
"Didn't know you were so familiar with Kurosaki," Sasuke said as he stood and walked to the bathroom to check his face.
"I wasn't. I'm not. I just met him yesterday."
"You sure could’ve fooled me," Naruto mumbled
"Did you say something, Naruto?" Sakura asked
"What were you guys talking about so quietly out there?" he asked
"Nothing really. Kurosaki helped me with something yesterday and I was just thanking him." Sasuke stopped poking at the growing bruise on his face long enough to look in the room at Sakura
"Something like?"
Sakura looked at him for a moment then sat her bags down on her bed. "A school assignment."
"Do you like him?" Naruto asked. Sakura frowned at him.
"No, why? You know, you two sure have some balls to be questioning me about who I choose to associate myself with." Naruto looked away from her and Sasuke went back to looking at his face. "Get ready, you two. We need to talk and I'm hungry so we're going out."
"What are you doing?" Sasuke asked, suddenly standing in the open door of the bathroom looking at her.
"I've given you enough time. We have to do this as soon as possible," she said and her face seemed to soften. "Trust me. I have a feeling everything's going to be alright."
"What are you guys talking about?" Naruto asked looking back and forth between his roommates. Sakura smiled at him and Sasuke disappeared back into the bathroom, avoiding Naruto all together.
"I'll explain everything once I've had some food in my stomach," Said Sakura. "Now come on, you two. I'm starving. Oh, and I used all my money up on Sasuke yesterday so one of you is paying."
~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~
Naruto sat back from the table with a satisfied grin on his face while rubbing his belly. He burped and both Sakura and Sasuke frowned. They'd gone to a local bar and grill, much to Naruto's dismay, but the restaurant served some of his other favorite foods besides ramen. Sakura sat across from him and Sasuke sat furthest away from both of them. Though, at a table big enough to hold only three occupants, that wasn't very far. Sasuke was sipping on his soda when Sakura finally spoke.
"Hey, Naruto what do you think of homosexuality?" Sasuke spit soda all over them all, coughing and trying to catch his breath.
"What the hell, Sakura?" he managed to ask after he got himself under control.
"What?" she asked him.
"Hey, he just called you by your real name," said Naruto
"Yeah, I know. Anyway, answer the question, Naruto."
"Sakura!?"
"Sasuke!"
"Naruto!" Naruto said, smiling and pointing to himself. "Wait, you just called him by his real name, too. When did you two become so buddy-buddy with each other?"
"I don't think now is the right time," Sasuke said to Sakura, ignoring Naruto's question.
"Yes it is. Go ahead, Naruto, answer the question."
"Uh, what was the question again?" Both Sakura and Sasuke looked at the blond.
"What do you think of homosexuality?" Sakura asked again.
"Uh, what do you mean? Like, do I agree with it or something?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, we could start with that."
"Um, well it's okay, I guess. I mean, what a person does or likes is their business. If a guy wants to be fucked in the ass then let him be fucked in the ass. Now, I won't be getting fucked in my ass, but that's just me. Lesbian are hot, though. I'd watch them do each other all day."
"This might not be the right place to talk about this," Sasuke said, looking around at all the other occupants that overheard Naruto's loud voice. Naruto and Sakura looked around and the two of them laughed. Their waitress walked over, Sasuke paid her and they left.
They laughed as they left the restaurant and after the laughter died they just walked. Silence filled the space around the three of them as they strolled through downtown Konoha. The people around them, it seemed, thinned out the further they went until they were nearly alone. The sun was just beginning to set in the distance, painting the sky in beautiful shades of pink, orange, blue, white and red. The area around them was filled with trees, water and green grassy open space.
They came to a bridge crossing over a stream of water and there they stopped. Sakura and Naruto leaned against the side of the bridge watching the water pass by while Sasuke stood across from them leaning his back against the other side.
"Hey, Sakura chan, I know I may not be the most serious guy, but I can read the atmosphere, and right now I can tell that something serious is going on," Naruto looked over at her. "What's up? What's going on?"
"You like me, don't you, Naruto?" Sakura asked, looking back at him. "I mean really, really like me."
"Ah! ahaha!" He tried laughing to lighten the mood, but it didn't work. Sakura only stared, waiting for an answer. He looked down. "Yeah, I like you, Sakura chan."
"I'm glad to hear you say it out loud. It makes you feel better, right? Like something heavy has been lifted off your shoulders?" Naruto nodded and Sakura smiled. "Could you image never being able to express your feelings or confessing to the person you like?"
"Nah," he answered, shaking his head. "I don't think I could." He looked down at Sakura with sincere eyes and she knew that his words were meant for her, but she was trying to make a point.
"I have a confession of my own to make, Naruto, but I don’t really know how to tell you, so…I’ll just come right out and say it. I…I have someone else that… I like."
Those blue eyes of his seemed to lose just a bit of their sparkle in that very moment. He was crestfallen and the disappointment was clear to see.
"Oh well, you know, I can understand, Sakura chan. It's not like I've shown you any good reason to like me," he said with a half smile, but no longer looked at her. "How long have you been dating him?"
"Actually, I'm still single."
Naruto couldn't keep the surprise off his face at hearing those words, and Sakura learned in that moment that Naruto wore his heart on his sleeve.
"Huh? You're single? But I thought you and that Kurosaki guy were dating."
"I told you that I didn’t like him. I just met him yesterday. I don't know anything about him," her eyes were just a bit too serious, but she quickly gained control of herself. She closed her eyes and when she reopened them, she smiled. "No, I'm not dating anyone. You see, the guy I like already has someone he likes so I'm forced to push my feelings aside and just watch him from afar. So we’re kind of in the same boat."
"Does he know you like him?" Naruto asked and Sakura smiled, turning so she faced Sasuke.
"Yes, he knows. It took all I had to finally confess, but I did and I actually feel so much better now. I told him and even though he turned me down I'm still happy. He didn't try to hurt my feelings or push me away so I’m lucky. I have a feeling he'll still be right by my side, though, even now." Sakura glanced at Sasuke and there on his face was that angry mask he always wore to try and hide his embarrassment, but Sakura knew better.
"Oh! Now I get it," Naruto said and Sakura looked up at him puzzled.
"Huh?"
"That question from earlier, it was about that guy that you like, right? You said that he likes someone else. Is it because he's gay?" Both Sakura and Sasuke gasped. Naruto was smarter than they thought. He hit the nail right on the head. Well, sort of. He gave Sakura an all knowing smile and she swallowed loud enough for him to hear.
"What-what is it, Naruto? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I know who it is you like! I really didn't think you liked that kind of guy, but well, he is pretty cute for a guy. I tell ya, if he were a girl, I'd definitely be all over him."
"Wait, who do you think I’m talking about, Naruto?"
"It's Haku, right? Our dorm advisor."
"What? No. I mean, Haku is pretty cute, but definitely too feminine for my taste."
"Then, Shikamaru?"
"I don’t think Shikamaru likes guys," she said
"Me neither. I was just guessing names. Um, Zabuza?"
"No"
"Sasori?"
"No"
"Kiba, it's Kiba, right?"
"No, Naruto-"
"It's me!" Sasuke yelled making Sakura and Naruto both freeze where they stood. "She's talking about me, dobe."
Sasuke walked over towards them and Naruto unconsciously took a step back, but stopped when his body met the side of the bridge. "She told me that she likes me,” Sasuke continued. “God, how can I like such a simple-minded buffoon like you?" Naruto only stared for a moment then turned to Sakura and pointed at Sasuke.
"Him? Sasuke? You like Sasuke?!....Wait, what?" He turned to look back at Sasuke whose angry mask had returned. All arrogance and beauty painted with slightly pink cheeks. "What did you just say?" he asked. Sasuke turned and started walking away from his two roommates while Naruto stood staring at him with confusion written all over his face.
"Sasuke turned me down because he likes you, Naruto."
"Wha.....What the hell?!" Naruto yelled before running after Sasuke.
"Naruto! Wait, don't do something stupid," Sakura said, running after them both.
"Hey! Hey, Sasuke!"
Since Sasuke hadn't gone very far it didn't take long for Naruto to catch up, and Sakura wasn't far behind.
"Who the hell do you think you are, teme?! How the hell are you gonna come at me with something like that and then walk away like I insulted you? For once, be a man and face your fears head on. The worse thing I can do is say no to you, right? Then the least you can do is suck it up and face me."
Sasuke didn't say a word, only looked away. Sakura made it to them and put her hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"Give him a break, Naruto. It was hard for him to admit that to you especially since you’re his friend. He's been holding that in for a long time so just go easy on him. Please? Just this once, okay?" Naruto looked down at Sakura and she could see that the anger still lingered, but he took a deep breath and blood it out slowly.
"Fine, but I want some answer and he has to tell me out of his own mouth." Sakura nodded and looked over at Sasuke.
"Do you agree, Sasuke?"
Sasuke glared out towards the setting sun."Tch, whatever."

"When did you start to... li-li-li....li-li.....notice me like that?" Naruto asked. The three of them walked further into the park until they made it to a bench where they sat, not far from the bridge they stood on earlier. Naruto, however, didn't sit with them and Sasuke looked as uncaring as ever, refusing to look at either one of them.
"I don't know," Sasuke answered and Sakura elbowed him in the ribs. He gave her a very unfriendly look, but answered again. "It's been a long time. Probably since freshmen year in high school." Naruto turned quickly on him with surprised eyes.
"What?! I thought you said you had lots of girlfriends in high school?"
"I lied," Sasuke said, shrugging his shoulders. Naruto made a noise low in his throat that sounded like disappointment.
"How long have you been gay?"
"I'm not gay! ....I mean, not exactly," Said Sasuke with a frown.
"Wha, what does that mean? If you're a guy and I'm a guy and you want to butt-fuck me then that makes you gay."
"Naruto!" Sakura yelled and gave him a very dirty look.
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry about that last part. I didn't mean to sound mean or offend you, Sasuke. But it's true, right? If we're both males and he likes me then he's gay."
"Well, technically, yes," Sakura answered. "But Sasuke's a special case."
"Meaning?"
"Sasuke doesn’t just like men, he likes girls, too. It's not that he’s even attracted to all men. It's just that he fell in love with his best friend who just so happens to be the same sex as him. And that’s you, Naruto."
Naruto stared at Sakura and then looked over at Sasuke. "Ahh!" He yelled, palming his head with his hands, pacing back and forth before them.
"This is all just so confusing!" He finally stopped and looked at them. "I like Sakura chan, she likes Sasuke, and he likes me? What the hell is this world coming to? I thought Sasuke liked Sakura chan, too. Isn't that what you told me earlier after our fight?
"You two got into a fight?! When? Is that why Sasuke kun's face is all bruised? I thought you'd gotten that when I pushed you out of my bed this morning after you passed out," Sakura said.
"No, I got this bruise after Naruto punched me for leaving you yesterday," Sasuke said to Sakura then turned his eyes to look up at Naruto. "And I never said that, Naruto. You asked, and because I didn't say anything, you assumed the answer was yes.
"So I take it we've all been turned down," Sakura said, now looking up into the almost dark sky. She gave a small laugh then looked down. "You know, it's funny, but even though I've been rejected for almost nine hours now, it still hurts like a bitch."
She didn't want to cry and was trying her best to hold back her tears as she pulled her knees into her chest, but the moment she blinked, Sakura's tears fell. Both Naruto and Sasuke watched her for a moment and understood what she was saying. Sasuke placed his hand awkwardly on her arm and the suddenness of it caused her to look up at him. He was trying to comfort her the best way he knew how, though he didn't look at her. Naruto sat on the opposite side of her and wrapped his long arms around her.
"I guess this is why she wanted to get everything out in the open; to put a stop to it. Because if we didn't then things like this will just keep happening," Sasuke said.
"How do we stop something that can't really be stopped?" Naruto asked. Sakura sniffled a few times before looking up at him. Her voice was strangled and soft, but she knew they could still hear her.
"I think…. we should make a pact"
