Squared || InoSaku & SasuNaru

Sakura brushed her teeth diligently as she hummed along to a song currently playing on Ino's phone. While the pinkette took care of her dental hygiene, the blonde was busy turning off the showerhead.

"So what did Sasuke want again?" Ino asked as she opened the curtain and stepped out donning a baby-blue towel around her chest. Her long platinum-blonde hair drooped just below her waist, showering the tiled floor with small, miniscule drops of water. She walked over next to Sakura and grabbed her toothbrush, applying toothpaste to it while her best friend moved on from brushing to swishing mouthwash in her mouth.

Once rinsing it out and finally done with her nightly routine, Sakura looked over towards the freshly bathed blonde. "He wants us to tag along on his date with Naruto to the beach tomorrow. He said he'd be too nervous and having us there would somehow put him at ease." She smiled, her eyes catching on to the watery mess her friend had left behind and was still making. "Ino, I told you to wrap your hair in a towel! Look at this; one of these days you or someone else is going to slip and fall." She scolded, grabbing the nearest towel and throwing it on the floor to use it as a mop, using her foot to navigate it to where the water was.

Ino stopped mid brush and gave her friend a look. "You know, that towel's going to get dirty—is getting dirty."

Sakura sighed heavily, shoulders dropping. "I was going to was clothes later anyways. I'll just throw it in." Sakura sighed, leaning down to grab the towel. "So, what do you say? Wanna go thirdwheel with me?" The pinkette's voice faded as she walked away towards the laundry room, leaving Ino to finish brushing her teeth. "We can watch how Sasuke becomes a wreck." She added, smiling at the thought as she grabbed the dirty clothes bin and began dropping them into the washer along with the used towel.

"I guess... yeah, I'll go," Ino agreed, grabbing a dry towel from the closet to use it and wrap her long blond hair in it. "But I don't have any swim suits."

ino said she'll go
where do we meet at?

Naruto wants to stop by the mall to buy some stuff
We can all meet there

Sakura looked up from her phone and nodded. "That's fine, Sasuke and Naruto don't seem to have any either. We're meeting up at the mall on the way so you'll get a chance to buy one." She informed the blonde. "By the way, doesn't Sasuke seem a lot different to you? He used to be awkward, especially around new people."

Ino shrugged, leaning her side on the entry to the laundry room. "Not really. He was always annoying." Ino rolled her eyes and smiled, hearing her friend laugh at the comment. "Last month, he started being social. I mean, but that's because he bought that stupid motorcycle and suddenly everyone was all over him. But he's still awkward."

Sakura closed the washer and let the machine do the rest. With a raised pink eyebrow, she turned to her friend. "Last month?" She asked. "You mean you and Sasuke have been in contact this entire time?"

Ino walked off, nodding her head and mumbling something Sakura couldn't quite hear. The blonde teen walked to her room to change into some underwear, Sakura standing outside her door before Ino let her in. "Sasuke and I have been talking for years, I thought I told you this." Ino said as she opened the door. "When he moved away, he gave me his number so we could text. We rarely did though, he could't keep a good conversation so it'd be months before he tried again. Plus, his parents were super strict or something. They only ever let him use their phone like... thrice a month or whatever. At some point they thought I was a girlfriend or something. Never thought I'd be a beard but..." Ino walked to her dresser, picking out her favorite T-shirt. "I thought I told you this years ago, you must've forgotten."

Sakura tried to remember, however she couldn't think up a time when Ino might've told her. "No, don't remember. But wait, then that day at the restaurant when he showed up..."

Ino chuckled. "He said he wanted to make an entrance. The plan was for him to show up looking cool and for me to get your attention on him." Sakura laughed, shaking her head to how awkward and lame Sasuke was. "It didn't work though." Ino chuckled. "He immediately headed for the bar because he chickened out at seeing Naruto." Ino added with a small laugh as she jumped in her bed.

"Ahh..." Sakura laughed some more. "You guys are dorks."

Ino nodded. "If Naruto wasn't there, he probably would've walked straight to us and done something even more stupid."

"Like?"

Ino, once sitting comfortably on her bed, tilted her head. "Like, try to come off as a cool guy and try to pick you up before dropping the gay bomb on you, I don't know."

sakura bae, what do you think we should do tomorrow?
i mean, what does naruto
like?
Sakura?

Laughing along to Ino's theories, Sakura finally looked down at her phone and smiled. "Well, you were right about him still being awkward. Look." She showed her friend Sasuke's messages and the blonde let out a laugh. "Ah, Sasuke." Sakura shook her head as she typed a response, Ino getting up to dig through one of her drawers.

you asked him out to the beach without knowing what
else he liked? nice, sasuke, very nice 

shut up
help me princess.

"There's a beach party tomorrow by the Sound district." Ino suggested, coming back to her bed with a lollipop in her hand. "Sasuke likes the beach, Naruto likes parties."

"Great idea!" Sakura nodded, attempting to grab the lollipop from Ino's hand but failing as the blonde quickly placed it in her mouth. "Bitch, give me some." She laughed, typing into her phone and sending the message. 

Ino laughed, once again teasing her friend by offering her a taste, pulling away when the pink haired girl was convinced she'd get a lick and only laughing some more when said pink haired girl threw her a pillow. 

"Ah, okay, okay, I'll leave now." Sakura said as she wiped a tear. "Go to sleep you perv, I'll either wake you up tomorrow or leave you behind."

"You'll wake me up? I'd like to see you try." Ino smirked. "And I'm no perv, thank you very much."

"Yeah, says the one sleeping almost naked." Sakura sing sang as she walked out of Ino's room and down to hers.

"It's a lot more comfortable than wearing pants!" Ino shouted, placing her red lollipop between her lips as she unlocked her phone.

Laughing at the last response, Ino let herself fall back on her bed and placed the phone next to her on her pillow. Regretting not letting Sakura have a taste, she finished her candy and fell asleep soon after.
