SasuSaku Month 2017

Day 3: Chemistry

***

After all that SasuSakuSara feels in the new Boruto ending, I’ve decided to write all the prompts for SS Month 2017~ I’ll try to catch up, though. Ganbatte self! 

Still thinking if I should compile all of it at ff.net… probably will~ For now I’ll post this oneshot at FF 😀

“Everyone knows, you know.”

Sasuke stopped typing his book report on his laptop to give
his best friend a questioning look. “Knows what, dead last?”

“That you and Sakura are in love with each other ‘ttebayo!”
Naruto exclaimed, his fist pumped in the air.

The Uchiha just gave him a glare and continued with his
work. The blond sighed, exasperated at his best friend, and leaned over the
table. “Silence means yes, you know.”

“I do not know what you’re talking about, Naruto,” Sasuke
replied without looking at him, still focused on writing.

“Did the thought of you and Sakura-chan as a couple never
crossed your mind?”

His question made him stop abruptly. Naruto then gave a
knowing smile. Seriously, his two best friends need the push since they’ve been
in denial all these years. Ino was able to make Sakura admit her feelings for
teme last week, though the pinkette was unaware of it since she was drunk.
After that, Naruto made it a promise of his lifetime e to make Sasuke admit his
feelings as well.

Cerulean met onyx after a while, and with a sigh, Sasuke
answered. “She’s… my friend. Sakura is dear to me – one of my precious people. You
know that, Naruto.”

“Friend? Just a friend? I wouldn’t be having this
conversation with you if that’s all there is to it, teme.”

“Well, what do you want me to say?”

“That you – “

“Hi guys!” Both guys turned towards Ino and Sakura coming
their way. The two with golden hair gave each other a sly smile and sat beside
each other, leaving Sakura to sit beside Sasuke.

“Sasuke-kun, are you
done with your English report already?” Sakura asked as she looked at his
laptop. “You’re too fast. That one isn’t due until next week.”

The raven haired boy looked at her, amusement hidden in his
eyes. “I have some spare time now. Didn’t you start it yet?”

“Please don’t mock me. I’m still stuck with the math
project. And it’s due tomorrow,” her green eyes started to lose its usual
sparkle.

“I’ll help you with it then,” blurted Sasuke.

Just like that, Sakura’s spirits were lifted. “Arigatou,
Sasuke-kun!”

As she took out the stuff needed, Sasuke watched her with a
small smile. All along, Ino and Naruto tried to keep themselves from laughing
out loud as they watched the exchange between the two.

“Just friends, huh? They sure are fooling themselves,”
Naruto whispered.

“They’ll come to their senses soon. You can’t deny this kind
of chemistry,” Ino whispered back.

The two looked at their friends who are already caught up in
their own little world. Someday – and they’re praying it will be soon – Sasuke
and Sakura will be able to admit their feelings to each other.

After all, ‘just friends’ don’t look at each other like the
way the two get lost in each other’s eyes… and nothing else matters.
