Love me (sasunaru)

6

I get up from my desk, glancing at the clock as I let out a sigh. All this extra class work is extremely tiring, it makes me regret ever skipping those classes to care for Sasuke.

But in the back of my mind.. I did kind of enjoy it. I mean, spending time with Sasuke has always been peaceful. Though, this Sasuke is different from the one that I used to know. He seems more.. friendly?

I just can't wrap my head around this new version of Sasuke. How can someone change this much is such short time? Is he really sorry or is he just pretending? Whatever it is, I like it. All I've wanted is for him to be happy, and be a better version of himself.

I'm genuinely glad that he's trying to improve, and I'm not saying that because I like him or anything, he was my friend before he was my boyfriend. Ex-boyfriend.

I plop down onto my bed, my face hitting the cold pillow. I smelled a similar scent, it was Sasuke's. I still remember the scent of his perfume, it was almost like a sweet vanilla smell with a hint of coconut.

This scent.. it's almost..
Fuck! I hate that bastard and his stupid little perfume can go to hell!

I flip the pillow around, and drift off to sleep.

Ino and Sakura wanted all of us to have a movie night at Ino's apartment, so here we are, munching on a pizza while they gossiped about our classmates.

"I mean I get why he wants to break up with her, all she does is beat him." Kiba chuckled as the others nodded in agreement.

"When did he even get with Karin? I thought she liked Jugo?" I looked around shockingly, this was all a surprise to me. I wasn't the type to gossip about people but this is new information.

"She find a new boyfriend every week, it's nothing new." Sai spoke with an amused tone while Shikamaru rolled his eyes.

"This is such a drag."

"Earlier today, I saw Karin with Sasuke.." Hinata mumbled in her usual soft voice as she explained further. "They were making out in the girls bathroom."

I widened my eyes as I felt my heart stop beating for a second. My face must've lost color since Kiba spoke up.

"Dude, you alright? You look pale." Kiba stared at me, gathering everyone else's attention.

I quickly pulled myself together, before I retorted back to reality.

"Y-Yeah, I have to use the bathroom. I'll be back." I mumbled, getting up as my chest began feeling heavy.

I entered the bathroom, leaving all of them confused. I stared at the mirror as I leaned back on the wall behind me. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in, I felt like a bunch of needles had just pinned inside me.

The last time I felt like this was during the grieving of my parents passing,
but why am I feeling this now? Is it because of Sasuke and Karin? But.. why?
Why should I feel this now? I was the one who broke up with him.
Fuck, why do I have to be so complicated.
I have moved on from Sasuke, right? I hadn't thought of him ever since the day I ran away from that city.

"Naruto? You okay in there?" I heard a voice coming from outside of the bathroom. I cleared my throat before responding.

"Yeah, Shika! I'm fine, what's up?" I swung open the door with my usual look, raising a brow as I walked out of the bathroom.

"Are you sure?" He asked with a concerned look before I dragged him away, nodding while giving a grin.

"We're back guys!"
