WHAT A GIRL WANTS (Modern AU SasuSaku )

Chapter Twelve

As Sakura and Sasuke's comical courtship continued, Sakura giddily laid down her first condition for Sasuke to be his boyfriend, she batted her eyelashes at Sasuke, her voice dripping with sugary sweetness, "Firstly, Sasuke-kun, you must endure hours of my 'sweet' voice serenading you in karaoke!" She winked, already imagining Sasuke squirming in his seat.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, a bemused smirk forming on his lips. "Karaoke, huh? That's your first demand?" He leaned back, crossing his arms. "Alright, what's next?"

With a mischievous twinkle in her eye, Sakura continued, "Secondly, Sasuke, you must wear a bright pink jacket to school for a week!" She grinned widely, waiting for his reaction.

Sasuke's stoic expression wavered for a moment, then he simply nodded. "Fine."

Just as Sakura was about to list her third demand, Sasuke surprised her by grabbing her arm gently. Their eyes locked, and he lightly touched her forehead with a faint, enigmatic smile. "Alright, Sakura," he murmured, "What's your third condition?"

Sakura pretended to pout, then burst into a playful mock anger, "Thirdly, you have to take me on a romantic picnic, complete with a basket full of heart-shaped sandwiches and matching bunny ear headbands!" She tried to keep a straight face as she delivered this absurd request.

Sasuke couldn't help but shook his head at the absurdity of it all but nodded in reluctant agreement. He squeezed her arm gently.

Later, at the karaoke place, Sasuke's poker face remained intact until Sakura's turn at karaoke arrived. She belted out "We Belong Together" with such enthusiasm that even the microphone seemed to wince. Sasuke watched in amusement, trying to muster a convincing smile as he secretly wished for earplugs.

Inwardly, Sasuke couldn't stop cursing his luck, wondering how he got himself into this hilarious and whimsical predicament. Yet, beneath the facade of annoyance, a faint smile remained on his lips as he realized that maybe, just maybe, Sakura's antics were starting to grow on him in the most unexpected way.

....

The morning sun bathed Konoha High School in golden light, and Sasuke Uchiha, once the untouchable heartthrob, now found himself in an unexpected situation - wearing a noticeable pink jacket.

Shikamaru, with an amused grin, pointed at Sasuke, his tone filled with humor. "Is that... Sasuke Uchiha? In pink? What's next, kittens and rainbows?"

Laughter echoed through the corridors, a ripple of disbelief against the walls.

Kiba joined in, his chuckles infectious. "He's truly embracing his feminine side!"

Yet, Sasuke, in the face of this cacophony of ridicule, clung to his stoic demeanor, striding through the hallway as if the world hadn't just undergone a seismic shift. The pink jacket clung to him like a neon straitjacket, a garment of sheer humiliation.

TenTen, her voice hushed in bewildered fascination, whispered to her friend. "I heard Sasuke's trying to challenge gender norms. Admirable, I guess?"

Another girl with a yellow bandana nodded, her eyes wide. "Yeah, but he's also shattering my sense of reality."

Amidst the chaos, Karin, unable to contain her shock and irritation any longer, stormed toward Sasuke, her face a palette of disbelief and frustration.

Karin showed her agitation, "Sasuke! What on earth has happened to you? Are you involved in some sort of fashion cult?"

Sasuke, the master of silence, calmly plugged in his earphones, as though sealing himself off from the absurdity of his surroundings. Karin's frustration swelled with every ignored plea.
