Nerds

Dinner

~Sakura's POV~

It's been 2 days since Sasori's funeral. Two days of mourning and crying. My mom and dad had called me and asked a load of questions. Of course they care about us; But not enough for them to attend the funeral and see me in person. The thought kind of makes me mad. But then again, this past week had been nothing but anger and sadness. I felt like I wanted to break something. Hit something, or someone. Or—

BRIIIING!

My phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw Sasuke's name pop up. "Hello?" I say as I pressed the answer button. "Hello, Sakura." Sasuke's normal monotone voice rang in my ears. "You called?" I replied. "Yes, my family wanted to invite you for dinner." Sasuke said. "We wanted to....catch up, and thank you for the...." Sasuke continued. He seemed like he didn't want to talk about the incident. "I'll be there. What time is it at?" I say. "6:30pm." Sauske answered. "Okay, see you later. Oh and—" I say but stopped. I wanted to know how his mother was doing. I heard she had been traumatized and was getting therapy. I really wanted to know but I knew Sasuke wouldn't like it if I talked about his mother. Especially when she was getting therapy and when she was the one that Sasuke was closest to. "Hn?" Sasuke grunted. "...no...it's nothing. Nevermind. Bye." I say quickly. "Sakura, what is i—" Sasuke said but I pressed the end button. I sighed and hugged my phone. I unconsciously closed my eyes. I hadn't talked to Sasuke in a while. It's like after the incident it was awkward.

Well no duh, you hugged him remember?!

Right. I hugged him. But I only did that to save Naruto. It didn't mean anything.....right? I felt my cheeks grow hot and I used my free hand to touch it.

My face was burning.

I let out a small yell of frustration before getting up.

It meant nothing...I'm sure of it. 

—TIME SKIP—

YOSH! I'm ready!

I stared at my reflection and was met with satisfaction.

I look so pretty! W-wait....it's just a dinner! Why am I going my way to being pretty?!

I sighed and looked away from the mirror. Tonight, I just want to have fun. Tonight, I want to pretend nothing happened. Tonight, I'm going to laugh with the Uchiha's.

Tonight, everything will be perfect.

I got into my car and started driving over to the Uchiha's mansion. As soon as the guards saw me they opened the gates. I drive in slowly and took in the scenery.

The fountain in the middle had been glowing from the moonlight. The bushes were filled with roses. White roses to be exact. It was beautiful. And the stars and crescent moon only made it even more. I stepped out of my car and saw Sasuke by the door. He had been wearing a suit and from the looks of it he was pretty uncomfortable. "Hey." I say as I got near him. "Hey..." He says. I peeked inside and saw most of the Uchiha's in formal attire. Butlers were serving them food and giving them wine. It looked more like a party than dinner. "This looks more like a formal party. Are you sure this is dinner?" I asked. "Yes, I assure you it is. My mom just went all out." Sasuke replied and held his arm out. "Let's play the part. Now shall we, my lady?" He asks in a fake British voice. That made me laugh. "We shall." I replied and hooked my arm in his. We entered the mansion and the Uchiha's greeted me. "You look as beautiful as ever, Sakura-San!" Someone yelled out. I felt my cheeks grow hot as I let out a small 'thank you'. Sasuke chuckled. "What are you laughing about?" I asked him with fake irritation. He faked a hurt look. "What ever do you mean, my lady?" He says as he played his part. "You chuckled. Now mind if you tell me why, sir?" I asked. "Your cheeks are red. I was just thinking how it matches your dress. It's cute." He says the last part softly. I felt my face grow even more hot. Sasuke smirked and dragged me through the crowd. "Sakura/Cherry-chan!" Someone yelled out through the crowd. Sasuke and I stopped walking and soon enough we were greeted by none other than Shisui and Itachi. "Shisui! Itachi!" I say and give them a friendly side hug. "How are you?" Itachi asked. "I'm doing well," I say. "You look pretty tonight, Cherry-chan." Shisui said cheerfully. "Oh! Uhm, th-thanks, I guess..." I said loudly but then became quieter. The three Uchiha's chuckled. "Well, we better head off. You two lovebirds have fun!" Shisui called out and waved. Itachi followed him and the two disappeared in the crowd. "Want to eat anything?" Sasuke asked after a few seconds. "Now that I think about it...I am quite hungry. Why not?" I say and dragged Sasuke over to a long buffet table. "Oh! Dango! Yes, come to mommy!" I say and reached over to grab some (coughtencough). Sasuke shook his head as he saw me eating my dango. "What? They are tasty! Try some!" I say and shoved him my half eaten dango. He smirked and ate it. "Hn. It's okay." He says and then leans closer. His thumb wiped across the corner of my lips. "Hn, you had little bits of food there." He says. I blushed and looked away. "Th-thank you." I said. Sasuke however wasn't done. He leaned closer to my ear. "By the way," he whispered. "That was an indirect kiss." My face was so hot I was afraid that there was something wrong with me. "I...Uhm—er...y-you..." I stuttered. Sasuke walked away, leaving me dumbfound.

"S-Sasuke!" I said and walked through the crowd. The damned Uchiha made my heart skip a beat before leaving me alone in this party. I sighed and sat down at a chair. "Ah, Sakura!" Someone said. I looked up and saw Mikoto-san and Faguku-san. "Ah, Faguku-san, Mikoto-san." I said and bowed. Faguku-san nodded. "How are you, Sakura?" Mikoto-San asked. "I am doing well. How are you?" I asked. "Well, I had a few days of therapy and I could say that I'm doing fine myself too!" She said. "Have you seen Sasuke?" I asked after a few minutes of talking to each other. "No, I haven't." She says. "Oh...I-I see.." I said. "Why won't you check the balcony? Sasuke goes there most of the time." She says. "Thank you, Mikoto-San." I said. "No problem! Now if you'll excuse us, we have a few guests we have to meet." She says and walks away with Faguku-San. I nodded and headed over to the balcony. For a mansion that's so big, they only have one.

I walked down the empty halls and finally made it to my destination. As Mikoto-San had said, Sasuke was there. I walked slowly and stood beside him. "So you were here all along." I say as I looked at the star-filled sky. "We're you looking for me?" He asks. I felt my cheeks grow hot again. Seriously what is the matter with me? "Well, it's not like I know anyone else like I know you." I say. "Hn." He answered. "...What are you thinking about?" I ask. Sasuke seemed to hesitate but answered anyway. "Have you ever....felt weird in the inside?" "Felt weird? Are you sick? Where do you feel weird?" I asked in worry. Sasuke chuckled and looked at me. "Here, and here." He says and pointed to his heart and stomach. "Oh my gosh, stomach and heart? I mean, I get the stomach, but the heart?! This is serious!" I say and examined him closely. "Tch, that's not what I mean." He says and pulls me closer. "Wha—!" I say. He held me tightly and I could feel his heartbeat. He was extremely warm and cozy. "Do you feel my heartbeat?" He asks. "...yes." I say quietly and listened even more. "It gets faster whenever I'm around you." He says. And sure enough I felt his heart beat beat faster. He took my hand and placed it on his stomach. "...As I said, I feel weird inside. Like there are butterflies in my stomach." He says. I could feel his breath on my ear. "..but I don't recall eating any butterflies at all. And what's more is that it comes whenever you are around." He continued. "It's not only that. I feel weird everywhere. My mind is always thinking of you." "I wonder what kind of disease you have." I say. Sasuke chuckled. "I believe it's called love." He says in a whisper.

W-wait...he L-loves me?!

"...I wonder...is it contagious?" I ask and lean in even closer. "Oh? Have you gotten it too?" He asked playfully. "I believe I have." I say and closed the gap between us. I was kissing him. The guy I like, I was actually kissing him! And what's more is that he likes me too!

Tonight really had been perfect...

A/N: Wow it's so cheesy! Please tell me how I did and don't mind Sasuke. People tend to act different when they are in love ;)

I hope you guys enjoyed it!

P.S I do not own Naruto
