Week 5 | M1 | CoW-T 10
Sharkboy - 08/01/2020
“Hey Miss Haruno. Just wanted to say thank you again. I’ve heard from ThatRedEyeGuy that you were my secret Santa and I mean… that personalized card and handwritten everything you sent made me really happy. It gives me a smile every time I make an espresso in the morning.”
Pinkie Punch- 08/01/2020
“Hi, I'm really glad you liked it, I had fun making the cards, mostly because there were so many funny things I could write that it was hilarious xD”
“Anyways, I’m happy that it made you happy.”
“Also you can call me Sakura, Haruno is my last name, sounds a bit weird. Or you can just keep calling me Pinkie ;)”
Sharkboy - 08/01/2020
“Ahh sorry was just what it said on the package ;) Sakura it is”
Pinkie Punch - 08/01/2020
“No worries, it happens all the time, for some reason”
Sharkboy - 08/01/2020
“I mean, when I joined this Secret Santa thing, I just expected some random gift... but getting an espresso maker from an cute girl is special to me… and the cards just made it way better!”
Pinkie Punch - 08/01/2020
“I was worried you could be one of those weird, strange people who don't drink coffee, but I see it was worth the risk”
Sharkboy - 08/01/2020
“LoL I actually wasn't drinking that much when I received it... but I’ve always liked a good coffee”
Pinkie Punch - 08/01/2020
“I don't drink that much myself to be honest, but coffee from a moka is a completely a different thing. Would have been a shame not sharing it!”
Sharkboy - 08/01/2020
“It really is... and it's really relaxing to watch it come out of the spout”
Pinkie Punch - 08/01/2020
“It is until you burn the handle on the gas, which happened to me twice in 30 years”
Sharkboy - 08/01/2020
“Yeah, not likely to happen. Mine is electric so I just put it on the edge of the heating surface so the handle won't get hot”
“I did mess once tho, I didn't tighten it all the way... that was interesting…”
Pinkie Punch - 08/01/2020
“Ahahah I feel you, my Italian genes were never strong enough to defeat my pink ones. BUT that helped a lot when writing how to use it, I mean the card, since every possibly wrong thing I probably did once”
Sharkboy - 08/01/2020
“yeah, card helped a lot, at first I was like "fuck I need to use an actual fire I don't have that" then I saw the backside of the guide”
“Even though I am an engineer I usually need guides like that, so it was perfect”
Pinkie Punch - 08/01/2020
“I see my control freak tendencies finally proved useful”
Sharkboy - 08/01/2020
“They did… was a perfect gift for me... and I was expecting some ugly shit, like socks or something”
“I was even in a bad mood that day”
Pinkie Punch - 08/01/2020
“I'm really happy it brightened your day”
Sharkboy - 08/01/2020
“You really did... and I forgot to tell you. Well not that I was exactly sure who sent it at first”
Pinkie Punch - 08/01/2020
“Tell me when you finish the coffee and I'll send more”
Sharkboy - 08/01/2020
“Will do, Pinkie”
“But for now, I still got some left”
Pinkie Punch - 08/01/2020
“I see, would you want more of the same or you want to try different types/brands?”
Sharkboy - 08/01/2020
“Not sure, I mean I like that one. But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like another better”
Pinkie Punch - 08/01/2020
“The never ending problem of which coffee tastes better. I feel that so much”
“We'll find a solution”
Sharkboy - 08/01/2020
“Indeed I trust your Italian pink genes”
Pinkie Punch - 08/01/2020
“Terrible idea, Sharkboy , for real, but I guess I'll do my best”
Sharkboy - 08/01/2020
“Why? believe in yourself, you are now the coffee queen”
Pinkie Punch - 08/01/2020
“That’s a first, well, I like new names, so I guess thank you”
Sharkboy - 08/01/2020
“You are welcome”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Yeah, well despite the blue skin and the obvious love for the seas, it's my dream to live near the mountains”
“They are so damn majestic, Sakura, like you look at them, you inhale and BAM freedom. Plus great walks”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Yeah, I love the mountains, this year it also snowed a lot so it was fantastic, well if you like skiing”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“I do like that... But at this point it should be pretty clear I’m a huge fan of sports”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Tell Itachi to organize a guild meeting on the alps, then”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“I mean who wouldn’t love that view”
“Yeah, I should, though it's a bit unnerving the thought of meeting the guildies IRL”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“It will only be embarrassing the first 10 minutes then Itachi is going to lighten the mood with one of his dark jokes and you will subsequently try to cheer everyone up with an even worse one, probably, but yeah. It kind of depends on how much you know them or speak to them. Then beer. Beer helps, always”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“True. I am just a really awkward guy in general, tho. Also being blue doesn’t help”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I feel you, but with time I learned that we all are. Awkward I mean, some are just very, very good at hiding it. Which is obviously unfair, if we have to suffer with being awkward, they should suffer too”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Exactly. I mean in text it’s easy... but irl it’s hard as fuck. I mean, I might seem really outgoing in the guild… but irl not so much. I’m not even sure why I am telling you this”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Online is always so much easier, writing is much better, you don't have to insta react like in a spoken conversation. I sort if had to learn how to do it when I started working with people, it is exhausting tho”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Yes, exactly that. You have time to think of a response”
“What do you do for work?”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I’m a doctor, I spend hours between patients and with people, trying to make them feel better, interacting with their families and so on. I mean, it is kind of exhausting, but very nice. And you?”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“At the moment I work as computer engineer for a small company. A lot of communication, but most of it comes in written form, not much interaction for us nerds”
“But I have just returned from a longer sick leave, there were issues connected to my previous senior. So just doing behind the scenes stuff so far”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Taking it easy after being sick is the best thing to do to be honest. Is either that or going to live under a blanket several km from civilization. A practical solution”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“I would love to do that. Can it be in the mountains? And, most importantly, will that cute pink head of you care to join me?”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I can join and of course mountains, duh. We have an available family house, but I’m not sure if it's enough away from civilization tho, still too many people there”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Away From all my shit here. So would work anyways”
“Wait, you have a house? In the mountains? Wow, Pinkie, bourgeois…”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Oh shut up, such an idiot! Technically my family has it, but yes. What were you expecting from me? I am just the best at everything”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Yeah, wouldn’t expect nothing less. So is it away from the noise and the traffic of the city?”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Yes, around 3 hours from that, in a small town next to the national park. It’s a pretty nice place to forget how much they made you hate yourself and your work at work”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Would be really nice to visit, if you are up for an old blue guy coming to annoy you if that is”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Aren’t you being a bit demanding here? XD But yeah, you are very welcome to come and visit”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Damn, girl, I am jelly here, you have your own summer home in the mountains!”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I told you, it's for the whole family, but yeah. I mean, it is usable during the whole year, it's nice to escape from the city for a weekend, it's a 3hours drive, but completely worth it”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“I see, I understand. I might take you up on the offer sometimes, though I might need you there. Since in my experience not many Italian speak English”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Luckily my line of work allows me to have a life so it won't be a problem. Also, did I mention the food there is one of the best you’ll ever get a chance to taste?”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Mmmmmm Italian food in general is just… very, very good. Of course, I’d have to run a couple of kilometres after that, but now I just want to come there”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“They have hot springs as well… Just saying”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“OMG!!”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I know, Sharkie”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“You are a very tempting right now, Sakura”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Sorry, sorry, I just really love that place, I've been going there since forever”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“No need to be sorry. I just want to pack my shit and come there now. Besides, I’m pretty sure meeting you is just an amazing thing as well”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Oh, so bold there, man, yet of course it is. But seriously, you can come if you want, it's a wonderful time of the year for a mountain trip”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Isn’t it too cold now? I’m but a Sharky boy who actually loves the sun. But hey, I’m used to the cold and I really want to see that place”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Define too cold?”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Fair. I’ll admit I don’t dislike the cold, but the Italian spring is also so beautiful”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Right now, it goes under 0, but not that much, unless you go skiing at 3000 meters. It's cold during the nights but like -5 but well… it’s not like would sleep outside so…”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“You might be right. I just forget that when it’s winter and grey here it’s not in other countries. And the temperature is perfect for me to be honest”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Honestly, as arrogant as it sounds, it kinda is always pretty in Italy, even when terribly hot or when cold. Unfortunately, we also have Italians, but you can't have everything I guess”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“At least it’s not French. It’s fine liking your own country. I mean I would boost mine as well if it wasn’t always so damn foggy and dark all the fucking time during fucking winter”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Ooof the French. They have such a wonderful country as well, just a pity they have French as well”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Exactly. I met a few that were nice. But yeah, I think they were actually Belgian. To be honest, I haven’t met many Italians either. But with you as representative they must all be cute and amazing”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Thank you, you really are on a roll with the compliments today! I wish they were all nice, they are not, but nice people are those who matter in the end”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Exactly. We just need to find the nice ones and keep them. I’m keeping you for example”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Bold! But appreciated. And don’t forget to kick toxic ones from your life as well”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Yeah that is the hardest part, Pinkie”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“It's hard, but it's a gradual process, after a while it's just a matter of letting go and not hearing as much from them as before”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“I am the worst at that, cupcake”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Oh, I see, you just have a soft heart”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Yeah, don’t you dare tell that to anyone, though. A false reputation is everything a man has these days”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Ahahah, I won’t. And I can also punch people in the face for you if you want”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Will you now? Are you my protector? Such a tiny pink and cute girl, I like it... I can protect you too when you need”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I appreciate it, but I can protect myself. My punches are not soft and my arms are not delicate. I mean, I am a bit of a gym groupie, and I can fight”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Well Sakura, if that is not hot I have no idea what is, honestly”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Well, no idea, but knowing you, you can probably punch as well as I do. Although I usually don’t punch people, I only show strength in two situations. Either someone tells me I can't possibly do something and I have to prove them wrong, or I really care about what I'm carrying (books, food and stuff)”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Can’t blame you for that, Pinkie, those are important situations to be fair. Also I like that you put books first as important”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Ahahahah I really love books, and everything readable tbh. But half of my book collection is still at my parents’ house”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“I think we are pretty opposite on that point. I am not a good reader, and I don’t like it too much. I read really slow and get distracted easily”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I see why it can get frustrating, but there is no such thing as a bad reader tbh, just people with different hobbies”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Yeah could be that too… went through my education without reading much. Just attending class and doing all assignments and sometimes the optional stuff too. I mean, in a way it was a miracle I even graduates, was that kind of bully always angry with the world. How the tables have turned! I just respect ppl that are still so much into reading”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I wasn't a very social kid, and books were my escape route, the door leading me to other worlds. I don't read that much anymore, though, but I can't really without them”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Well you sound really cute”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Will you shut up?”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“You are welcome”
_____________________________________________________________________
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“You are up late, Sakura”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“Yeah, can't sleep… You too though”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“Well, I’m going to bed soon, no need to worry for this old idiot. Why can't you sleep?”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“It's a stupid thing tbh, it's just that I'm finally 30 and I'm waiting to… I don't know, feel some big changes or something, I guess”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“Wait… it's your birthday???”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“Yep, it's kinda weird”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“Hey, congrats, Pinkie. Welcome to the best decade of your life, so far at least”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“Thank you, Kisame”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“No big changes tho, to be honest... It will be just another year and you will be fine… Besides, you are beautiful and clever, and an amazing person... no need to fear anything”
“So is it like now after midnight or was it yesterday?”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“It's now as in now after midnight, the 28th and thanks, again…”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“So any plans? I didn’t do anything when I turned 30. I don’t really like celebrating my own birthday. Just invited a few over because I like getting presents and they like to drink”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“I'm having a party next saturday, and dinner with my family tomorrow (well today). I don't really care about the presents; I only want to see my friends. I mean, of course presents are nice, but the best gift to me is having people coming to the evening out so I can stay with them and see them”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“Yeah you are right... knowing that people care is a nice thing”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“Couldn't have said it better, honest to the point of hurting in a way”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“So important question… was I the first to wish you happy birthday?”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“Second actually, after my best friend who waited till midnight to send me a message, but she’s known me since we were kids. In a way she’s like a sister to me”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“I am fine being second to that”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“Oh, I see it’s a challenge now! I’ll have to admit tho, that she had a major step ahead of you, because she knew”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“Yup, definitely, I was at a disadvantage there. I am glad I wrote you, then”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“I'm glad as well, to be honest”
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“You are going to be all fine I am sure of it, Pinkie”
Pinkie Punch28/03/2020
“I'll try my best not to focus on useless though and think just about nice things”
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“Good... because really what is the bad thing? it's just a number and you don't look 30 anyways”
Pinkie Punch28/03/2020
“Ahahah thanks, I don't feel bad about aging to be honest, but a part of me is afraid of missing out and worries that I'm 30 and still missing out on so many things and I have no idea why I am even stopping to think such things”
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“And what do you think you are missing out on?”
Pinkie Punch28/03/2020
“I have no idea, relationships I guess, nights out. Having anxiety preventing me from going out even when I want to. Having to work so much in the hospital that I’m too exhausted to have a proper life? I don't know, I'm sorry this is probably too much information”
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“Not at all… But I have to warn you there, you sound like me”
Pinkie Punch28/03/2020
“You mean an energetic Sharkie? I don't know, Kisame, I sometimes feel I'm missing out when I decline because I don't want to go out… Still, thanks for understanding”
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“I know the feeling all too well... so it’s kinda easy to understand. I mean, I trust you. So have no issue saying that, and in a way I hope you feel the same. I wish I had friends to do boardgame nights though”
Pinkie Punch28/03/2020
“I do, it's usually weird to talk about this. Not with you tho. If you ever come here, I promise I'll organize a board game night. Promise”
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“No Monopoly please”
Pinkie Punch28/03/2020
“What kind of normie plays monopoly in 2020. No monopoly!
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“Thank goodness, Sakura. I knew I could count on your nerd tastes”
Pinkie Punch 28/03/2020
“Said the nerd. I'll try sleep now, thank you for listening to me”
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“Don’t, Pinkie, thanks for trusting me. Sleep well, Sakura”
Pinkie Punch28/03/2020
“You too, goodnight”
She took a small sip of Gin Tonic from her glass, laughing at her best friend’s joke.
«But seriously, I kind of like him» she replied.
«Yeah, figures, the nerd queen, so cute and pretty, cold to everyone that falls for a nerd living in a completely different country».
«Oh, shut it, Ino!» she replied, slightly embarrassed.
The party was going great, yet her mind was still elsewhere.
«But I’m serious tho» she paused for a second, looking behind Sakura’s shoulder «And you told him about the party, haven’t you? Like in details, I bet. Location and dress and everything».
«Uhm… Maybe?»
«I figured. But to be honest, can’t blame you, I mean the blue skin is weird but the rest, I’d dig those biceps, girl».
«What the fuck are you even talking about?» Sakura coughed a little, almost chocking on her cocktail.
Ino laughed and pointed somewhere behind her back.
«Seems like he had a huge crush as well…»
Sakura turned around and blushed. For some reason Kisame was standing there, all dorky in his blue skin; he smiled slightly the moment she looked at him and waved.
«What on earth…» she muttered getting closer.
«Hi there, Pinkie» she smirked, his pointy teeth were white under the halogen lamp of the pub «I heard you were worried about this whole thingie so…»
«So you took a flight?»
«Eh. Kind of stupid now that you say it out aloud».
«You took a flight for a different country to come and visit me on the day of my birthday party because you were afraid I was worried?»
«Maybe? Look, I do realize this is a bit creepy, and you know what? I probably shouldn’t have come. It was a bad idea».
Sakura grabbed his hand by instinct and squeezed it gently.
«Stay» she whispered «It’s actually the cutest, nicest thing anyone has ever done for me».
Kisame relaxed a bit, starting to breath again, he squeezed Sakura’s hand back and smiled.
«So… won’t you show me the party then?»
«Follow me, you dork».
«As you wish, Pinkie, as you wish».

“It is until you burn the handle on the gas, which happened to me twice in 30 years”

“Yeah, not likely to happen. Mine is electric so I just put it on the edge of the heating surface so the handle won't get hot”
“I did mess once tho, I didn't tighten it all the way... that was interesting…”
Pinkie Punch - 08/01/2020
“Ahahah I feel you, my Italian genes were never strong enough to defeat my pink ones. BUT that helped a lot when writing how to use it, I mean the card, since every possibly wrong thing I probably did once”

“Yeah, I love the mountains, this year it also snowed a lot so it was fantastic, well if you like skiing”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“I do like that... But at this point it should be pretty clear I’m a huge fan of sports”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Tell Itachi to organize a guild meeting on the alps, then”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“I mean who wouldn’t love that view”
“Yeah, I should, though it's a bit unnerving the thought of meeting the guildies IRL”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“It will only be embarrassing the first 10 minutes then Itachi is going to lighten the mood with one of his dark jokes and you will subsequently try to cheer everyone up with an even worse one, probably, but yeah. It kind of depends on how much you know them or speak to them. Then beer. Beer helps, always”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“True. I am just a really awkward guy in general, tho. Also being blue doesn’t help”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I feel you, but with time I learned that we all are. Awkward I mean, some are just very, very good at hiding it. Which is obviously unfair, if we have to suffer with being awkward, they should suffer too”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Exactly. I mean in text it’s easy... but irl it’s hard as fuck. I mean, I might seem really outgoing in the guild… but irl not so much. I’m not even sure why I am telling you this”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Online is always so much easier, writing is much better, you don't have to insta react like in a spoken conversation. I sort if had to learn how to do it when I started working with people, it is exhausting tho”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Yes, exactly that. You have time to think of a response”
“What do you do for work?”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I’m a doctor, I spend hours between patients and with people, trying to make them feel better, interacting with their families and so on. I mean, it is kind of exhausting, but very nice. And you?”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“At the moment I work as computer engineer for a small company. A lot of communication, but most of it comes in written form, not much interaction for us nerds”
“But I have just returned from a longer sick leave, there were issues connected to my previous senior. So just doing behind the scenes stuff so far”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Taking it easy after being sick is the best thing to do to be honest. Is either that or going to live under a blanket several km from civilization. A practical solution”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“I would love to do that. Can it be in the mountains? And, most importantly, will that cute pink head of you care to join me?”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I can join and of course mountains, duh. We have an available family house, but I’m not sure if it's enough away from civilization tho, still too many people there”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Away From all my shit here. So would work anyways”
“Wait, you have a house? In the mountains? Wow, Pinkie, bourgeois…”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Oh shut up, such an idiot! Technically my family has it, but yes. What were you expecting from me? I am just the best at everything”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Yeah, wouldn’t expect nothing less. So is it away from the noise and the traffic of the city?”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Yes, around 3 hours from that, in a small town next to the national park. It’s a pretty nice place to forget how much they made you hate yourself and your work at work”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Would be really nice to visit, if you are up for an old blue guy coming to annoy you if that is”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Aren’t you being a bit demanding here? XD But yeah, you are very welcome to come and visit”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Damn, girl, I am jelly here, you have your own summer home in the mountains!”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I told you, it's for the whole family, but yeah. I mean, it is usable during the whole year, it's nice to escape from the city for a weekend, it's a 3hours drive, but completely worth it”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“I see, I understand. I might take you up on the offer sometimes, though I might need you there. Since in my experience not many Italian speak English”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Luckily my line of work allows me to have a life so it won't be a problem. Also, did I mention the food there is one of the best you’ll ever get a chance to taste?”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Mmmmmm Italian food in general is just… very, very good. Of course, I’d have to run a couple of kilometres after that, but now I just want to come there”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“They have hot springs as well… Just saying”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“OMG!!”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I know, Sharkie”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“You are a very tempting right now, Sakura”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Sorry, sorry, I just really love that place, I've been going there since forever”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“No need to be sorry. I just want to pack my shit and come there now. Besides, I’m pretty sure meeting you is just an amazing thing as well”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Oh, so bold there, man, yet of course it is. But seriously, you can come if you want, it's a wonderful time of the year for a mountain trip”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Isn’t it too cold now? I’m but a Sharky boy who actually loves the sun. But hey, I’m used to the cold and I really want to see that place”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Define too cold?”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Fair. I’ll admit I don’t dislike the cold, but the Italian spring is also so beautiful”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Right now, it goes under 0, but not that much, unless you go skiing at 3000 meters. It's cold during the nights but like -5 but well… it’s not like would sleep outside so…”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“You might be right. I just forget that when it’s winter and grey here it’s not in other countries. And the temperature is perfect for me to be honest”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Honestly, as arrogant as it sounds, it kinda is always pretty in Italy, even when terribly hot or when cold. Unfortunately, we also have Italians, but you can't have everything I guess”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“At least it’s not French. It’s fine liking your own country. I mean I would boost mine as well if it wasn’t always so damn foggy and dark all the fucking time during fucking winter”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Ooof the French. They have such a wonderful country as well, just a pity they have French as well”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Exactly. I met a few that were nice. But yeah, I think they were actually Belgian. To be honest, I haven’t met many Italians either. But with you as representative they must all be cute and amazing”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Thank you, you really are on a roll with the compliments today! I wish they were all nice, they are not, but nice people are those who matter in the end”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Exactly. We just need to find the nice ones and keep them. I’m keeping you for example”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Bold! But appreciated. And don’t forget to kick toxic ones from your life as well”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Yeah that is the hardest part, Pinkie”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“It's hard, but it's a gradual process, after a while it's just a matter of letting go and not hearing as much from them as before”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“I am the worst at that, cupcake”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Oh, I see, you just have a soft heart”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Yeah, don’t you dare tell that to anyone, though. A false reputation is everything a man has these days”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Ahahah, I won’t. And I can also punch people in the face for you if you want”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Will you now? Are you my protector? Such a tiny pink and cute girl, I like it... I can protect you too when you need”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I appreciate it, but I can protect myself. My punches are not soft and my arms are not delicate. I mean, I am a bit of a gym groupie, and I can fight”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Well Sakura, if that is not hot I have no idea what is, honestly”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Well, no idea, but knowing you, you can probably punch as well as I do. Although I usually don’t punch people, I only show strength in two situations. Either someone tells me I can't possibly do something and I have to prove them wrong, or I really care about what I'm carrying (books, food and stuff)”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Can’t blame you for that, Pinkie, those are important situations to be fair. Also I like that you put books first as important”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Ahahahah I really love books, and everything readable tbh. But half of my book collection is still at my parents’ house”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“I think we are pretty opposite on that point. I am not a good reader, and I don’t like it too much. I read really slow and get distracted easily”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I see why it can get frustrating, but there is no such thing as a bad reader tbh, just people with different hobbies”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Yeah could be that too… went through my education without reading much. Just attending class and doing all assignments and sometimes the optional stuff too. I mean, in a way it was a miracle I even graduates, was that kind of bully always angry with the world. How the tables have turned! I just respect ppl that are still so much into reading”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“I wasn't a very social kid, and books were my escape route, the door leading me to other worlds. I don't read that much anymore, though, but I can't really without them”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“Well you sound really cute”
Pinkie Punch - 13/02/2020
“Will you shut up?”
Sharkboy - 13/02/2020
“You are welcome”
_____________________________________________________________________
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“You are up late, Sakura”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“Yeah, can't sleep… You too though”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“Well, I’m going to bed soon, no need to worry for this old idiot. Why can't you sleep?”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“It's a stupid thing tbh, it's just that I'm finally 30 and I'm waiting to… I don't know, feel some big changes or something, I guess”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“Wait… it's your birthday???”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“Yep, it's kinda weird”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“Hey, congrats, Pinkie. Welcome to the best decade of your life, so far at least”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“Thank you, Kisame”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“No big changes tho, to be honest... It will be just another year and you will be fine… Besides, you are beautiful and clever, and an amazing person... no need to fear anything”
“So is it like now after midnight or was it yesterday?”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“It's now as in now after midnight, the 28th and thanks, again…”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“So any plans? I didn’t do anything when I turned 30. I don’t really like celebrating my own birthday. Just invited a few over because I like getting presents and they like to drink”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“I'm having a party next saturday, and dinner with my family tomorrow (well today). I don't really care about the presents; I only want to see my friends. I mean, of course presents are nice, but the best gift to me is having people coming to the evening out so I can stay with them and see them”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“Yeah you are right... knowing that people care is a nice thing”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“Couldn't have said it better, honest to the point of hurting in a way”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“So important question… was I the first to wish you happy birthday?”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“Second actually, after my best friend who waited till midnight to send me a message, but she’s known me since we were kids. In a way she’s like a sister to me”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“I am fine being second to that”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“Oh, I see it’s a challenge now! I’ll have to admit tho, that she had a major step ahead of you, because she knew”
Sharkboy - 28/03/2020
“Yup, definitely, I was at a disadvantage there. I am glad I wrote you, then”
Pinkie Punch - 28/03/2020
“I'm glad as well, to be honest”
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“You are going to be all fine I am sure of it, Pinkie”
Pinkie Punch28/03/2020
“I'll try my best not to focus on useless though and think just about nice things”
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“Good... because really what is the bad thing? it's just a number and you don't look 30 anyways”
Pinkie Punch28/03/2020
“Ahahah thanks, I don't feel bad about aging to be honest, but a part of me is afraid of missing out and worries that I'm 30 and still missing out on so many things and I have no idea why I am even stopping to think such things”
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“And what do you think you are missing out on?”
Pinkie Punch28/03/2020
“I have no idea, relationships I guess, nights out. Having anxiety preventing me from going out even when I want to. Having to work so much in the hospital that I’m too exhausted to have a proper life? I don't know, I'm sorry this is probably too much information”
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“Not at all… But I have to warn you there, you sound like me”
Pinkie Punch28/03/2020
“You mean an energetic Sharkie? I don't know, Kisame, I sometimes feel I'm missing out when I decline because I don't want to go out… Still, thanks for understanding”
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“I know the feeling all too well... so it’s kinda easy to understand. I mean, I trust you. So have no issue saying that, and in a way I hope you feel the same. I wish I had friends to do boardgame nights though”
Pinkie Punch28/03/2020
“I do, it's usually weird to talk about this. Not with you tho. If you ever come here, I promise I'll organize a board game night. Promise”
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“No Monopoly please”
Pinkie Punch28/03/2020
“What kind of normie plays monopoly in 2020. No monopoly!
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“Thank goodness, Sakura. I knew I could count on your nerd tastes”
Pinkie Punch 28/03/2020
“Said the nerd. I'll try sleep now, thank you for listening to me”
Sharkboy 28/03/2020
“Don’t, Pinkie, thanks for trusting me. Sleep well, Sakura”
Pinkie Punch28/03/2020
“You too, goodnight”
She took a small sip of Gin Tonic from her glass, laughing at her best friend’s joke.
«But seriously, I kind of like him» she replied.
«Yeah, figures, the nerd queen, so cute and pretty, cold to everyone that falls for a nerd living in a completely different country».
«Oh, shut it, Ino!» she replied, slightly embarrassed.
The party was going great, yet her mind was still elsewhere.
«But I’m serious tho» she paused for a second, looking behind Sakura’s shoulder «And you told him about the party, haven’t you? Like in details, I bet. Location and dress and everything».
«Uhm… Maybe?»
«I figured. But to be honest, can’t blame you, I mean the blue skin is weird but the rest, I’d dig those biceps, girl».
«What the fuck are you even talking about?» Sakura coughed a little, almost chocking on her cocktail.
Ino laughed and pointed somewhere behind her back.
«Seems like he had a huge crush as well…»
Sakura turned around and blushed. For some reason Kisame was standing there, all dorky in his blue skin; he smiled slightly the moment she looked at him and waved.
«What on earth…» she muttered getting closer.
«Hi there, Pinkie» she smirked, his pointy teeth were white under the halogen lamp of the pub «I heard you were worried about this whole thingie so…»
«So you took a flight?»
«Eh. Kind of stupid now that you say it out aloud».
«You took a flight for a different country to come and visit me on the day of my birthday party because you were afraid I was worried?»
«Maybe? Look, I do realize this is a bit creepy, and you know what? I probably shouldn’t have come. It was a bad idea».
Sakura grabbed his hand by instinct and squeezed it gently.
«Stay» she whispered «It’s actually the cutest, nicest thing anyone has ever done for me».
Kisame relaxed a bit, starting to breath again, he squeezed Sakura’s hand back and smiled.
«So… won’t you show me the party then?»
«Follow me, you dork».
«As you wish, Pinkie, as you wish».
