Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ The First Time ❯ Feeling It ( One-Shot )

“The First Time”

T

NARUSAKUSASU-Implied beginnings of a threesome relationship, not a love triangle.

Warning: ONE-SHOT, little fluffy.

A/N Well I wrote one, now I'm writing more… I got this idea. It's all about firsts. You'll see.

 

Feeling it

 

The first time Sakura felt it she didn't know she did. It was a little bit like a close sudden friendship feeling that should've tipped her off anyway, but it didn't. It had just been so simple. A little mission, something under their skills that they weren't, for once, complaining about. Watching Naruto and Sasuke argue, watching Kakashi-sensei not do a thing but chuckle behind his volume of Icha Icha, it had all seemed so simple. And it had been heartwarming in a new and wonderful way. Watching Naruto's blue eyes squeeze shut in indignation, and Sasuke, just minutely, roll his own onyx.

 

And she had continued to watch them, as they walked with their teacher dawdling to the point all were sure they would be extremely late. She'd eventually was pulled into it too. In a manner almost as if the two boys were not keen on leaving her out. By the time it was ending, and the sun was setting and bathing every one of them in warm yellow-orange light, Sakura could place exactly the reason the scene was so decidedly heartwarming. It felt like a family outing. In a strange kinda way, of course. The arguing was simple, none too harsh nor the topic too dire. And the actual physical part of their fight, were simple swipes at each other that were hardly an attack at all.

 

Yes, the first time Sakura saw it, she saw it as they were a family, and for a young new kunoichi, that was the best beginning there was.

 

Sasuke first felt it after a fight, when Sakura was starting to help patch him up, despite his protest. It was when Naruto, with no prompting and decidedly no reason, began to help her. If it hadn't been for Kakashi standing nearby, approving of the new assessment he was getting of their ability to work together, he would have smacked Naruto and left Sakura right there. But he stayed still, and waited it out trying to ignore the feelings he was getting.

 

Oh, yes he was trying to ignore it. It was a strange feeling, much like something he hadn't felt since his clan's death. To feel Sakura's soft fingers wrapping bandages, and Naruto's fumbling with the others was new in a way. He could almost imagine it was like the first time his mother had allowed him to “help” wrap up simple training wounds Itachi had gotten. Only Itachi hadn't been really brooding as they did so, he'd been giving his own version of encouragement to the younger Sasuke. And before the now hardened, feature avenger could really think about it he's started to instruct Naruto in a very simple fashion, it's not the warm tone that his brother had used, but it was much different than his normal tone. And after the initial faltering by both, everything works out, and you can even see the progress of Naruto on the bandages Sasuke wears.

 

The first time Sasuke felt it, he tried to ignore it and the memories it conjured, but in the end, he still wondered about it at night.

 

When Naruto felt it, the last of the three, he nearly stopped slurping his miso ramen into his mouth. His teammates took it as choking, and properly admonished him for eating so fast, per usual. And then they talked about his ramen habit, Naruto just barely listened enough to know when his input was needed, and to give out his indignant shouts at the right moments. On a good note, he didn't choke, or appear to choke, again. He just watched Sasuke eat in his silence and listened to Sakura chat softly.

He began to realize that this was something he had always felt was missing. This was something he never wanted to end. It was gentle, it was nice, and it was perfect in its own strange way that left Sasuke rolling his eyes at the blonde and Sakura laughing in a soft, quiet, feminine way. Naruto liked it, a lot. So much that he used all his crafty wiles to get Sakura to get another bowl when she said she was finished, and to get Sasuke to stay where he was and eat again too. In fact, it wasn't until the passing of their jonin sensei that the other two left, Sakura with a little yell of despair at the time and Sasuke with his nonchalant way. Naruto left with a strange idea of what he felt, and a goal of getting them to go to Ichiraku again.

 

Naruto's first understanding made him wonder, and kept him wondering for a long while, but he took it as it came, and held on like only an orphan can.

 

In the end, when they first felt it, none understood it. But it was there, and it influenced everything that happened, and everything that was to come.

 

OWARI

 

First, I want to say that each one-shot will be connected. Second is if you have an idea for a “first” give me the idea and I could use it, with credit to the person of course. It's strange, I never thought I could write this pairing, but maybe I can in the sweet fluffy way.
