Sai X Reader 2

We Grow Together

(Hey...so yea it's been months but..yea here's a chapter I got reminded that people still ready my stories by a comment I saw and I had to do another chapter and it's a bit different but hope you enjoy)

As I heard the girls at the door I realized the present Sai had for me was gonna have to wait although I could only wonder what he could of gotten me. I could feel myself hesitating to leaving the girls waiting or rushing to open the door as I thought to myself, wondering if it was all that bad to keep them waiting but I shook my head as I found myself already walking to the door as she opened it and got greeted with two familiar faces hinata and Sakura as I welcomes them inside with a small smile plastered on my face.

"Hey, come on in and I apologize in advance if my place is a bit messy I tried to clean up but I got a bit distracted" (y/n) let out as she knew the distraction was with Sai and it still was in on her mind her curiosity kept peeking to the present he left for her in her bathroom. I realized I was spacing out as I quickly gathered my thoughts.

"Anyways I see theirs only two of you so I assume girls night was hard to put together" (y/n) let out as she looked at hinata and Sakura as Sakura spoke.

"Yes unfortunately the other girls were a bit busy with the regular mission and last minute things, it's unfortunate how little time we all get to hang out these days" Sakura said her face disappointed as Hinata spoke up.

"I understand we all have our busy schedules but still sometimes I wish it could be the same as when we were genin I mean, we would all have no choice but to be around each other" Hinata said with a small smile as I spoke up.

"I know what you mean, I mean I remember hating being forced to work with everyone especially since we all got on each others nerves but even in those moments it felt nice to have everyone around" (y/n) said as she found her smile fade a bit she knew how her friendships with the group and teams developed over the past two years and it was definitely improved by a landslide with how good of friends she became with the girls especially Sakura and hinata considering the incident of two years ago were she almost ended her life.

"Anyways lets not dwell on the past it's always nice to revisit but now things are different were all adults and finally we can hang out with you"
Sakura said as she pulled my head out of deep thought as I looked up at her, her smile bright and happy.

"Plus now we finally had the chance to steal your attention away from Sai for a night I mean seriously no offense but it's like you live, breath, and sleep around Sai ever since you started dating" sakura said as she looked at me.

I gave a nervous chuckle in response as I spoke quietly. "Well honestly you can't blame me, I think it's not wrong to enjoy someone's company and especially if that someone's my boyfriend" I let out as now my thoughts went from the conversation to the gift he said he left for me in the bathroom as hinata spoke up breaking her prolonged silence.

"I think that's great that you two are getting along so well, I mean it's nice to see you guys so happy I mean I imagine you two living together"
Hinata said with a sweet innocent smile as it only reminded me of the talk I had with Naurto earlier about the fact we still haven't moved in together yet we've been together for so long it feels like it should of happened it gave me a sense of impatience the more I thought about it. Then Hinata spoke again as her face litt up when she spoke.

"I almost forgot I bought these before coming here" Hinata said as she pulled out a box of chocolate chip cookies that made all of us smile and take our attention away from the subject of Sai and me as I spoke.

"I'll get the milk, and you can set the cookies on the counter" I said eagerly as I went to the fridge and grabbed the milk pouring three individual glasses for all of us as we sat and ate the cookies and drank the milk as my mind seemed to be at ease but not for long as Sakura spoke.

"Hey, y/n I just realized you and Sai are always together yet, you guys don't actually live together right?" Sakura asked as she stared at me like if she wanted an answer.

I found myself hesitating at the thought of answering her question because it only filled me with worry and anger. To know me and him aren't living together yet we basically see each other everyday. "Yea, we don't live together but we're in no rush" I said as I tried to give a reason why as to why were not living together but yet their wasn't an actual reason on why we weren't we just weren't living together.

I could feel myself tense because I started to over think it's not like me and him ever avoided the subject we just never did talk about it. Before I knew it I accidentally nudged the glass of milk I had off the counter as the glass shattering on the floor startled us and caught my attention as I got up.

"Oh shit, I'm sorry let me clean this up" I let out as I could feel the stares from Hinata and Sakura looking at me wondering if I'm okay like if they could sense my thoughts all over the place as I found myself cleaning up the broken glass and milk as Hinata spoke up.

"Hey, you know you can talk to us if your ever feeling like you need too" Hinata let out as she placed a gentle hand on my shoulder giving the look of I'm here. But I found myself looking away from her because I didn't want to bring up the subject of it again a bad habit of mine were I always ended up suppressing my stresses, fears and anxiety's every-time I found myself with a question I didn't have the answer too.

"Y/n I know this isn't my place but I can't ignore something obvious when it's clear theirs something on your mind, your tense and I want you to know you can talk to us" Sakura said as she let it known that I was obviously thinking of something as I sighed deeply.

"Your right" I said quietly admitting I was overthinking about something.

"I can't stop myself from overthinking about Sai and our relationship we've definitely made progress from when we started till now that much is obvious, but it's been over a year since we started being an official couple and I can't help but wonder why we haven't moved to the next step like moving in" I let out as I could feel my smile fade.

"I know things take time and things can't be rushed and maybe the next move, isn't us moving in but I feel like something should be happening more than what's happening right now...and all I'm thinking about is what happens if we wait to long and stay in the same spot, are we gonna loose are spark? Or start feeling like the relationship is boring and repetitive" I must of been too honest as I found myself with a fear slipping down my face as Sakura hugged me tightly and Hinata gave a bright smile her hand holding mine to comfort me.

"First, don't think so negatively about what might happen, and second your fears are valid it makes sense to feel that way when your unsure of how things are going but I can promise you this much I know for a fact Sai loves you I mean after all he used to never talk to anyone let alone have a conversation until you guys met" Sakura said smiling with a chuckle as she continued.

"But also your in your head a lot which is something you tend to do but that's why we're here to bring you out of it and remind you, it's okay and know that your relationship has been good with Sai I mean we all see it. Your always with him and he's always with you that says a lot so I doubt he'll get tired of you" Sakura chuckled as Hinata spoke.

"And if you genuinely feel concerned about this, try talking to Sai I'm pretty sure he would want to know your concerns especially since your his girlfriend I don't think he would want to be left in the dark about how your feeling" Hinata let out honestly as I put on a small smile feeling a bit better as I nodded and spoke.

"Your right, I should I'm way in my head I just need to stop overthinking and just talk about my concerns with him" I let out feeling better as I got up receiving hugs from both of them before I walked away quickly and went to the bathroom to relieve myself as I used the bathroom and got up and made eye contact with myself in the mirror and a small sticky note that said "open" as my eyebrow's furrowed as I realized this must be the gift was talking about earlier as I opened my bathroom mirror and my eyes got met with a small pot with a small growing dandelion in it as another small note was attached to the pot as it read.

"We grow together" -Sai

I read it as I smiled grabbing the small plant in my hand as I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and happiness wash over me. I chuckled as I remembered how we always hung out in the dandelion field all the time when we first met as I looked at the small dandelion in the pot and took it out before placing it on the windowsill in my room admiring it as I smiled brightly.
