Who: Naruto/Sakura
What: idek. What COULD happen?
When: September 7, 2009 [Late evening]
[What else was there to say? Being angry wasn't worth the energy and he doubted that it would go anywhere anyway. For what he really about Sakura she was a stubborn person and who cared if he was angry? Or was a nervous wreck? Only then to find out that Sakura had been over at her parents the whole time.]
[Flash to an hour later where he's in bed and dead to the world. Enjoy the silence while it lasts. ♥]
[It takes her an hour and a half to find the store that had what she was looking for. He just had to ask for sparkles on the ribbon.]
[But she knows he is angry, and that she's fucked up, and that he has been angry at people disappearing and reappearing the whole summer. So she'd made it worse. And now it was time to make it better. So she has beer, and popcorn, and musicals and action movies.]
[And an orange bow around her neck. Which sparkles. And that's how she rings his doorbell.]
[Silence interrupted! The walls of the apartment are fairly thin so the jump as he falls out of bed with a huge THUNK out of shock would have been easy to hear outside his front door. The clock reads some number that his sleepy vision is too blurry to read and he fumbles with himself to get up, groaning and rubbing his spine all the way to the door-]
Chikusho- Bukkoroshite yaru zo! [Who would even be at his door this time of night?! Probably the old hag that ran the place, but even she had enough sense not to mess with people this late.]
[Not smart enough to look through the peep hole first he opens the door while rubbing his eyes, grumbling about killing whoever it is waking him from happy Naruto-Land... Until he's wise enough to really look, eyebrows lifting in surprise as his eyes glue to Sakura's face... then the bow... Then the face again-]
Sakura-chan? What are you-... When did-... N-nice bow?
[She smiles, and lifts her free hand to it, readjusting the thing so it doesn't tickle her chin.]
I come to fix mistakes.
[Popcorn... What looked to be beer and movies tucked under Sakura's arm. And then the bow. She'd really gotten... a bow. She really...]
. . .
[And that was when he stepped out of the apartment to reside in the hall, his arms opened wide and his eyes beckoning her into them. It was cold. He was in boxers. But be damned if he was going to let her just stand there all by herself and not hugging him another second]
[She waited in silence the few minutes until he was quiet and considering her, and hoped that this would be recompensation enough for her lack of balls to say no to her parents.
So when he opened his arms, she grins with relief, and goes right on ahead to hug him, even though her hands are full.]
Gomen.
[He takes full advantage of her full arms and wraps his own around him, hugging tightly and grinning maliciously wide] Sakura is so cute! She should wear orange all the time!
[And clearly breezing past the apology. Please join him on oblivion won't you?]
[She laughs] No way! You've no idea how hard it is to find sparkly orange bows!
[Could very well put her down. But... no. Carrying her inside instead, yes. Please to be closing the door behind him.] Oh yeah? How hard could that be, huh?
Just trust me that it was very very hard, okay?!
[wait...]
You didn't go outta your way did you? Just for a stupid bow, right?
[She doesn't answer, instead hugs him a bit tighter and mumbles.] I didn't want your manly anger...
. . . [Ow. Guilt. Ow.] Dammit, Sakura. My manly anger isn't worth shit if you go and do that... [And he's going to hug her tighter, too. Because he MISSED her. And thought she was DEAD somewhere. So she better enjoy it for the moment the scared little foxy attitude lasts]
[She laughs sheepishly before bumping her forehead against his collarbone.] If I didn't want to do that, I wouldn't have. You are important to me, you know?
...now let me go enough so I can put the bottles on the ground then you can be a cat again.
[... There's not really anything coming to mind when it comes to replying to that. But he's smiling as wide as he possible can and squeezing her one final time before letting her go. Because that's easier than trying to tell her that he feels the same.]
I don't wanna be the cat. [He notes, already going through one of the bags-] I'm too tired to be the cat. You be the cat- BEER!
Why not? I'm nowhere near as good a cat as you'd be, you know? [She pulls away and carries the bags into his apartment, because she knows her way around enough from all her previous invasions to it.]
Movie night sound good then, right?
I'm nothin' like a cat. [Doesn't like this movement, dammit. So he's following close behind to grab what he wants out of the bags.]
I'm up for anything as long as you stop moving! [Screw it. He's grabbing her around the waist just long enough to snatch one of them and hightailing it towards the living room. After midnight? Who uses manners after midnight?]
The victor! Uzumaki Naruto. What is his prize, Miss Haruno?
[She does put up a struggle and hold it out of his reach for a while before handing him the bottle. Just so you know. Victory was handed. Not won. :|b]
Hmmm...[She grabs her own bottle and takes out a DVD. Well now, Singing in the Rain. Perfect.] Assorted popcorn to go with it, oh, winer-sama.
[Let him have the small victories. Life is hard. The beer is probably the cheap, flat kind. But will he complain? NO. Why? He's a nice guy! Take a lesson D:]
Sensei, Sakura. It's Naruto winner-sensei-sama. I'll let it pass this time. You're new to my greatness. [Look at dat smile. It's all for her. The blond has been won over for now. Proceed to popcorn making, pls.]
[She gives him a flat stare, before raising one eyebrow.] Naruto winner-sensei-sama....yeah, right. [With a roll of her eyes, she tosses the DVD into his lap and makes her way to the kitchen, throwing over her shoulder.] Put it in.
[And hum dee dum, making the popcorn now.]
[Flat stare? Meet the blinding grin.] No foreplay, Sakura-chan? [Why yes, he is indeed getting up before he can get promptly smacked for that. Safety zone is the television and VCR, tyvm]
Na, Pinky. You're not gonna start singing during the movie are you?
Well, it doesn't need lube. Just put it in! [She shouted from the kitchen. The loud PING! announced the popcorn was ready, so she took it out of the bag, and after searching for a bowl, placed it there.]
I might, why?
Oh, pushy! I'm not gonna stand for that in my own damn apartment, Haruno! [And yet he put the movie in anyway and made himself comfortable on the couch, legs propped on the table before him. He was already antsy, tossing the remote in the air and catching it as Sakura took what seemed like ages to come back to him-]
'Cause you're a bad distraction. That's why.
Haruno?! [She gives him a hurt look before coming to join him on the couch, plopping herself down and sliding closer to him.] Shut up, I can totally sing. And hit the high notes. I just can't do the accent.
[As she says this, she's getting more comfortable, getting close enough so that her thigh's touching his. She puts the bowl of popcorn on both their legs, and leans her head on his shoulder.] Missed you.
[Hurt look = Sakura FTW. He'll ignore the broken heart for the head on his shoulder, though. And might even be slipping arm around hers. He's a man, gdit. This is what men... who are also Naruto... do.] Didn't say you were bad. Just a distraction. [HINT. HINT.]
. . . [All kidding aside he kind of really likes the extra weight there against him, not saying anything as Sakura rattles on, though he's giving her a squeeze as the movie starts, only turning his head to face her once the previews are ending-] Yeah. Me, too...
She smiles up at him, when she's aware that he's watching her, before settling back, her head on his shoulder. With the first appearance of Audrey, she's already stuffing her face with popcorn.]
[He does watch her for a moment, happy that she's just there with him. There's a million things he needs to ask, but for now the movie is more important, the showtunes already filling the room]
[And instead of singing the first song, by the first song, she's sleeping, her arms wrapped around his arm, face buried in the crook of his neck.]
[Although he doesn't notice that she's out for the count until the iconic dance number starts and Sakura isn't up and swinging to the music. He glances down, wondering if she's too subdued by the movie... And instead all he sees are closed eyes and even breathing. Out cold.]
Na, Sakura... [He shifts a little to test if she's really asleep, seeing that she indeed is and stops moving completely. There's a blanket nearby. It goes on her, his one arm trapped which... makes it fairly difficult to cover her, and amuses him. She's so cute like that. When she actually depends on him even if it's for something silly like this. It feels good.] Why'd you come over if you're tired? Idiot... ['-but I'm glad you did']
[And he kissed her forehead. Said goodnight. And let her rest. Because he didn't give a damn if she said sorry or brought gifts. This was what sealed it.]
