Flowers, tattoos and I love you's

Naruto and Sasuke were currently Facetiming.

The raven had propped his phone on his desk, angled against his pencil holder while engrossed in a book while Naruto, on the other hand, was half-heartedly playing a game on his phone, occasionally pausing to steal glances at Sasuke through the camera. And, he may or may not have discreetly taken a few pictures, contemplating whether to set one as his phone's background.

Their conversation was interrupted by a notification from Sakura's number, appearing at the top of Naruto's screen and he clicked on it and entered the chat.

[Sakura]

Naruto hi!

[Naruto]

What the hell do you want? I thought I made it pretty clear that I didn't wanna talk to you anymore

[Sakura]

I'm sorry about what I said about Sasuke okay?

I was just trying to warn you.

I didn't know he meant so much to you

[Naruto]

I can take care of myself thank you very much 😑

Yeah, he does mean a lot to me

[Sakura]

Ok, but if something happens don't say I didn't warn you 😊

Anyway, that dinner I talked to you about is this weekend.

Will you come? You can bring Sasuke.

[Naruto]

I don't know Sakura

[Sakura]

Don't be a party pooper!!!!

[Naruto]

I'll ask him, but if he doesn't want to come, I won't either

[Sakura]

Fine🙄.

Naruto closed the chat and switched back to the FaceTime call with Sasuke.

"Sasuke." Naruto said, capturing the raven's attention as his gaze shifted from the book to the blond's face through the camera.

"Hn."

"So, Sakura invited us to her place for dinner. Will you join me?"

"No," The Uchiha replied without a moment's thought.

"But Sas, please!" Naruto pleaded.

"That girl doesn't like me. She and Ino spent the entire school year spreading fake rumors about me. Why would I go?"

"Because I'm your best friend, and I'll be there with you!"

He growled, taken aback. Wait, what?

"I'm your best friend?" Sasuke asked incredulously.

"Hm, yeah, kind of. You and Kiba, actually," He admitted, biting the inside of his cheek. "Anyway, please, Sas! This is the last thing I'll ask you." Sasuke squinted at him, knowing that Naruto's claim wasn't entirely true. "Today," He mumbled the last part under his breath.

"No."

"Please~" The Uzumaki cooed, attempting once again.

And when it seemed like Sasuke wouldn't budge, Naruto mustered all his strength for his final move. He pouted, jutting out his lower lip, and widened his big blue eyes, adopting the most convincing puppy-dog stare he could manage.
