SasuSaku Month 2017
Day 14: Even Just for a Moment

Sasuke’s parents didn’t live long enough to talk about girls
and back then his priorities were more focused on revenge. Almost out of his
teenage years Sasuke didn’t know how to ask a girl out.

Even Naruto has had more luck with Hinata in the two times
he’d been able to speak to her without her fainting. And Sasuke who spend more
than half of his free time around Sakura couldn’t even manage to ask her out.

Pride kept him from asking Naruto or Kakashi how to go about
it. Naruto would probably never let him live it down and Kakashi would hand
over his perverted book; and Sasuke didn’t think he was yet quite ready for the
advice his book had to offer.

Ask her on a date, shouldn’t be so hard.

He sat across from her watching her, she had her head buried
in a medical text. He hadn’t noticed he’d been tapping his fingers on the table
until she turned to him with an annoyed expression on her face. “Could you stop
that?”

He did, and absentmindedly turned to tapping his foot under
the table instead.

Her annoyed expression turned amused with a small smile
gracing her features. “Something on your mind?”

“Yeah, I…” He trailed off, what was he supposed to say? I’m trying to ask you out, but I don’t know
how to go about it. This was already to a bad start. “I’m hungry.” He
blurted out without thinking.

“We just ate. And I know watching Naruto eat like five bowls
of ramen can drive away your appetite, but you managed to eat an impressive
amount of two bowls.” She set her book aside and turned her full attention on
him.

“I know, I mean later, I’ll probably have to eat.” He
mentally cringed at the sound of his own voice, he sounded like an idiot. “You’ll
have to eat too, maybe we should eat together.” That was close enough, right?

“Are you trying to ask me on a date, Sasuke?” The amusement
was clear in her voice.

“No-” He denied before letting out a sigh. “Yes.”
