Sakura:
I reply to him, taken off guard by his show of his concern. I carefully choose my words, "Yeah... I'm, fine." ..
"Thanks-"
I suddenly stop talking, my eyes beginning to adjust, is that.. Ino? I see her shape appear fast with caution.
"Oh my god, Sakura" she says between heavy breaths, "are you okay, do you need an ice pack?" She blurts out.
I know it's not her fault by this point, so it's funny seeing her flustered like this, "It's okay Ino, I'm fine. Really." I confirm while squeezing her hands tightly.
"Sasuke is the one who broke the impact, you should be consulting him." I admit, laughing it off.
She then blinks, not realizing Sasuke was there, too busy worrying for me. She turns her head to him:
"Oh, are you alright Sasuke?"
he doesn't open his eyes to look at her, he just nods his head with drowsiness as if he didn't feel like talking to her. Was he always this grumpy?
Naruto suddenly appears looking worried, despite whatever's going on between the two, his face always tells on his true feelings. He hesitates, then goes up to Sasuke as he grabs his arm, helping to lift him up.
"Let's go. I'll buy you two Ice packs." Naruto insists.
"I'll help pay for it too" Ino volunteers, feeling guilty for earlier.

Me and Sasuke sit in silence outside of the convenience store, resting on the chairs. I glance over at him, he's sitting with his arms crossed and eyes closed.
what should I fill the silence with?? Should I even say anything?
Just be yourself, my inner voice tells me.
My head decided now's the best time to replay the event that happened earlier, making me embarrassed. I feel as if I'm always an inconvenience to him, I even fell on him a few days after he was recovering from his wound. I would be annoyed if I was in his position.
I open my mouth, hesitating but ultimately deciding to speak. However, before I can even utter a word, he began to talk:
"Do you always get yourself in trouble like that?" He questions out of the blue.
Despite it being a question, his voice is so emotionless, he might as well be demanding me an answer by his tone.
