He felt numb as he walked the streets of Konoha, his thoughts on the boy with a smile as bright as the sun. Now that he knew he had no chance with the blond, he felt helpless. The only reason he came back to Konoha was because of the dobe. Sasuke’s heart had always remained with Naruto.

You’re not this weak, he told himself. And you don’t care as much as you’re making yourself. You’re an avenger; you have to focus on killing Itachi! Sasuke repeated that to himself numerous times, before it started to sound like a lie in his own head. How could he focus on killing his brother when his attention was always settled on a boy with a tepid smile and honey-colored skin? Dammit!

“Sasukeee-kuuun!” The Uchiha’s ears perked at the familiar call of his name, and his scowl considerably darkened. Sakura was the last person he wanted to see. “Sasuke-kun! Wait! Sasuke-kun, I need to talk to you! It’s really important!”

I don’t want to talk to you. Sasuke slowed his pace and waited for the pink haired girl to catch up to him. Her cheeks were flushed crimson from chasing him down. He looked at her expectantly, waited for her to say what she wanted from him. “Well?” he said coldly.

“We can’t talk here.” Sakura grabbed him by his elbow, then dragged him into an alley between Ichiraku and a clothes store. “I-I was talking to Naruto today and-and I decided.” The pink haired girl bowed her head, her bangs falling in her eyes, her lips pursed. She wrung her hands nervously in front of her. “I’ve decided…to tell you how I feel, Sasuke-kun.”

“Sakura-“ I really don’t want to hear this…

Instead of answering, the kunoichi stood on the very tips of her toes to kiss him hesitantly. Sasuke made a noise low in his throat and made to pull away, but the girl held fast, deepening the kiss ever so slightly. The Uchiha was shocked back into reality when her petite hand made its way underneath his shirt.

Sasuke pushed her away gently but firmly, his cheeks slightly pink. He put both of his hands on the girl’s shoulders and breathed heavily through his nose. Sakura was breathing heavily, too, and her eyes had gotten glassy over those few minutes. She blinked slowly, and Sasuke could’ve sworn her green eyes flashed blue before they closed delicately.

“Sakura, I don’t-“

That mouth was on his again and Sasuke could barely contain the low growl building in his throat. When did she get so strong? And suddenly Sakura’s hands weren’t so small and Sasuke could smell something he only associated with the dobe. Heart pounding, he pushed his teammate away again, but this time Naruto was staring up at him. Why didn’t I sense his chakra?

“Okay, so maybe that wasn’t the smartest thing to do.” Naruto smiled nervously up at his raven haired teammate, slipping his hand behind his head to scratch it. He took a step back from the other boy and turned his head away. Why was Sasuke so quiet?

“Naruto, you-“ The Uchiha managed, before he cut himself off quickly. His heart was pounding hard in his chest and the only thought going through his mind was: Naruto just kissed me…

“Teme, do-do you like Sakura-chan?” The kyuubi-vessel asked hesitantly, his eyes flicking over to the pale boy’s face, uncertain. He licked his lips and switched his weight nervously on his feet. He didn’t want to hear the other boy’s answer. He mentally crossed his fingers. Please let Iruka-sensei be right!

“…No, I don’t.” Sasuke answered, his voice more than a little shaky. He was staring at his teammate with glassy eyes, and his heart felt like it wanted to burst from his chest. The dark haired teen stepped forward, breathless from the kiss earlier. He wanted Naruto to kiss him like that again, without having to turn into Sakura just to convey his feelings. “I-I like you, dobe.” The Uchiha muttered.

“…Good. ‘Cause I didn’t want Sakura to have you.” Naruto smiled up at him then; full of everything Sasuke had wanted to see in it for so long. The Uchiha smiled in kind-Naruto was likely to have a heart attack-then pulled the blond into another breathtaking kiss. The moment would’ve been perfect if Naruto hadn’t pulled away to say something so Naruto-ish.

“Iruka-sensei so owes me ramen!”

But that didn’t matter much; Sasuke loved his many quirks.
