"Plan to make Sasusaku happen is a go!" Ino screamed as she started to kick the air happily.
"Wait....what's the plan again?" Tenten asked still not remembering what she had said.
Ino face palmed. "We're going to play spin the bottle and hope that when Sakura spins it, it will land on Sasuke."
The boys listened in and thought their plan wasn't bad but it also wasn't good either. They looked at one another and Neji was the one to speak. "And if it doesn't?"
Ino's eyes sparkled. "She has to kiss one of you! And then we'll see if he gets jealous." She rubbed both her hands together.
The boys nodded their head to each other, liking the idea. They've never seen the Uchiha get jealous. So Ino's plan is actually not that bad at all. But the blonde's face fell into a frown. "But...we have to convince him to play..." She spun her direction towards all the guys. "And that's when you come in!"
They smiled mischievously. They already had a plan on how to convince him. It's the perfect idea. It just couldn't fail. Naruto coughed. "Fine. But we're not doing this to see Sasusaku happen tonight, alright?"
Tenten gave him a thumbs up. "Right!"
___________________________________________________
If someone came in, you would think that the two people sitting on a red velvet chair were a couple. The guy is sitting on the chair and the girl is sitting on his lap. They're looking at a book, laughing away. But that is not what is happening at all.
"You look so cute!!!! Awww Sasuuukeee!!"
"Shut up. I look too soft for my own good."
Sakura pinched his cheek, telling him that he's the cutest toddler she's ever seen. She didn't care if she was still sitting on his lap. She was fine with it now. She turned around and stared at the pictures. She noticed a picture of the young Uchiha giving out a huge smile. Half of the picture was scribbled with a black sharpie marker. She raised an eyebrow.
"Sasuke-kun?"
The Uchiha put his chin on her shoulder. "Hm?"
"Why is this scribbled?"
She regret asking because he covered his face with his hand and turned away. He kept that position for a while. The pinkie stared at the photo and then at the boy. She guessed that it was a picture of someone he now strongly hates. Or a family member that had died. She didn't want to think about. But she did want to know why she didn't see any of his family.
"How come I didn't see anyone else that's related to you? Did they all go out somewhere?"
He slowly got up, letting her know to get off of him. She got the message and she stood in front of him. He stared for a while and gathered all the books he had brought. He walked away to put them away. Sakura frowned. She wondered why they stopped. She really hoped it wasn't because of her question. He closed the door behind him. He stood in front of her again but this time he cupped her cheeks and made her look at an enormous photo. She assumed it was his family. The Uchihas. His family was huge, clearly being seen in the photo.
She then tilted her head. All the faces - except for Sasuke's - were covered with.....paper? She took his hands off her cheeks and looked at him with concern in her eyes. But he never took his eyes off it. He gulped and sighed.
"They are...." He paused. He never really had to explain it. All of his friends knew about it since his last name and the incident was very popular. He was also always popular when he was young and he never really noticed. He was surprised when Haruno didn't know about him but it didn't matter. What mattered is what he's about to say. "They...are dead." He shivered. He didn't like the word 'dead.' But it was blunt and simple and that's how he is. He could feel her eyes staring at him with pity. He didn't want any type of pity. He just wanted to stop talking about it.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know...I-i should've never asked..I'm so sorry.." Sakura fiddled with her t-shirt. Her eyes were wide as an owls' but Sasuke wouldn't know because her bangs were covering her eyes.
"It's fine. Just stop apologizing, it's getting annoying." He grabbed her hand and sped downstairs. "C'mon, the others might be suspecting something."
________________________________________________
Naruto scratched his neck nervously. "Not to be mean but sometimes Sakura gets easily convinced."
Ino rolled her eyes and stabbed a finger to his chest. "Not anymore! If you spend more time with your 'best friend' you would know that she changed completely!"
"Of course I know that! And yes she's my best friend! I was her first ever friend! You just came along!" Naruto fought back. He wasn't going to lose this argument.
The two blondes spat at each other. But the female blonde had a lot to say. "She might be your first friend but she was never comfortable with you at the start! Not until I came and helped out!"
"That might be true but you ruined her life!"
"Oh really? What did I do?"
"You made her feel so confident in herself that she thought she can face anything with no fear! Now let's go back to the day our parents died in the same place at the same time!"
"Shut up, Naruto! Just shut up!"
"Did you see the look in her face when she heard that her parents died in a fire with our parents lying dead next to them! She gave no reaction! No reaction at all! She just acted as if everything was fine. Until 2 weeks later, she left. She left! She left the both of us and it was all because of you-!"
"STOP! Please...we promised we wouldn't talk about that day.."
The ramen idiot sighed and bent down to wipe his friend's tears. "Listen I'm sorry. I just wanted to get my anger out about what happened years ago. I-I blamed it on you because I knew it was my fault. I should've never made her feel so strong."
Ino shook her head, as if disagreeing with him. "No. We should've never made her feel so strong and confident. We should've....let her find her own self instead of doing that to her." She sniffed.
Uzumaki chuckled. "But it doesn't even matter anymore because she's grown into the woman she's always wanted to be."
"Heh. Yeah."
The group cocked an eyebrow. Neji looked at Tenten, Tenten looked at Shikamaru. Shikamraru looked at Temari, and Temari looked at Hinata. The shy girl shrugged her shoulders and went up to them.
"We have no idea what just happened but please stop crying."
Naruto's cheeks turned red. He squeezed her tight, loving the cute face she gave when she said that. She sweat dropped but still hugged him back. His only weakness was his girlfriend and nothing else. Except for ramen. "I can't stop crying! I just can't! It was my fault she left us when we were kids!"
Said
Ino joined and hugged the two. She burst into more tears. "No! It's my fault!"
The shy girl awkwardly got out of her boyfriend's grip and rubbed both their backs. She didn't want them to cry anymore. Then two familiar faces were then scene. They stood there, not sure what was going on. Sasuke just brushed it up, not caring for the most part. The pinkie hurried over to her two best friends and squeezed them. She was obviously really worried. "What happened?!"
Naruto sniffed, hugging the girl. "We'll always be there for you. You know that right?" His eyes were pleading for her to say 'yes.' And that's exactly what she said.
"Yes. Of course I know that. Why would I not?" She hugged him back, wiping his tears away. "Why are you and Ino even crying anyways? You two never do that."
Naruto laughed, pulling her in closer. "I know I know."
The whole group snickered as they watched the scene between the blonde and the pinkie. Ino had stopped crying and started to glance at him. She couldn't help but laugh about how obvious his jealousy was. A dark aura already formed around him. His eyes darkened and a vein popped on his forehead. He swiftly turned his direction towards the female Hyuga. He looked pissed.
"You're ok with that?" He literally spat out venom. He hated how happy they were together. Sakura should be happy with him and him only. It wasn't fair. Now he was just acting like a little child.
Hinata smiled. "Of course I am! I know that he's loyal so it doesn't matter. He already knows that you have a thing for her anyways."
The Uchiha twitched. What she said is true but BUT he still didn't approve the happiness the two were sharing. He walked up to them and pushed them away from each other. He stood in front of Haruno and crossed his arms. The ramen idiot chuckled. "Jealousy looks good on you."
He tched and led her to his long white coach. He doesn't get jealous. He's never jealous. So why is it whenever he sees her with a boy, he has the urge to barge in and interrupt. As he sat down, Sakura too sat next to him. He's acting weird. I wonder what's wrong with him. She watched the group hold in a few chuckles. She was so confused. First her best friends were crying. Now her other friends are laughing out of nowhere. She sweat dropped. Did she miss something? At least she didn't think so.
Then she could feel a hand around her shoulder. She tilted her head to the right and she could see Sasuke putting an arm around her. She squirmed in her seat. A blush crept up her cheek. She covered her face. This is embarrassing!
The Uchiha noticed all their friends giving glances and quick grins at each other. This was too suspicious. He squinted his eyes but then ignored it.
"I'm sooo bored." Temari said pretending she was sulking in her chair.
"Then watch tv." Sasuke reached for the remote but Haruno stopped him.
"How about we play a game? Any suggestions." She said looking at everyone.
Their plan was going well. They were surprised that she wanted to play a game. They all secretly snickered. Poor poor Sakura and Sasuke. They have no idea what's coming next.
Tenten lit up as if she knew the best game to play. "Let's play spin the bottle."
"No. Why would you even suggest that?" The Uchiha said clearly annoyed by the choice of game. "You couldn't just pick truth or dare?"
The two bun haired girl pouted. "That game is not as fun as the one I chose."
"No."
Neji then leaned in his ear. "This is your chance man. If Sakura spins the bottle and it lands on you, she'll kiss you. I know how much you want this."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. A tint of red crawled up his cheek but he ignored it. He sighed in defeat. He didn't want his friends to leave him especially the pinkie. If this game is going to make them stay then he had to say yes. He hated the game but he had to. Plus, Haruno looked really excited to play anyways. "Fine. But only this one time."
"Yes!"
