Art of Love [SaixReader]

Art of love ❤

Sai, the not-so-new member of Team Kakashi. You didn't really like him at first, he was a quiet guy who was always carrying a fake smile. When Sakura and Naruto introduced him to you he naturally called you "ugly" - apparently he learnt that you should use one of the characteristic of a person to find a nickname and be closer to them. After that you tried to avoid him, because the only times that you spoke with him, he only got on your nerves.

Unfortunately he was always around, since he also spent a lot of time in the library. At the beginning you sat far away from him, but curiosity got the best of you and you started to sit closer to him to see what he was reading with such seriousness : books about how to talk to people, how to give compliments, how to make friends... You decided that he wasn't a bad person, just a clueless one and you naturally came to the conclusion that you should help him and talk to him.

A few months later

- You said one time that you would like to see one of my drawing and if you don't mind, of course, would you like to see one ? Sai asked sightly blushing.
- Of course I'd love to ! I've been dying to see one of them !

Sai smiled genuinely happy and led you to his apartment. Once in his room he told you to wait on a chair, disappeared a few seconds and came back with three drawings in his hand. He sat next to you and you noticed that he was really nervous for some reason.

- I am sure that your drawings are really good, don't be so nervous, you'll make me too otherwise. You said trying to relax him.- Thank you, but that not the reason why I am nervous...It's...more...complicated...He answered while his blush increased.

Before you could respond he put the first sheet in front of you. It was the drawing of a young boy, with black hair and a poker-face, he was wearing the same outfit as Sai.

- Is it an auto-portrait ? It's really well done ! I can easily recognize you, but you should put a smile on your face, I think you're cuter when you smile.

Your remark only intensified the pink shade on his cheeks and without a word he added the second sheet next to the first one. This time it wasn't a black and white drawing but a big pink heart was covering all of it. You were a little bit confused, this one was really minimalist compared to the first one.

- Hmm...That's...Bright...and...unexpected. You clearly didn't know what to say.
- I read that a heart could represent the feeling of "love" and that pink was a good color to represent it too...Am I wrong ? Sai asked even more nervous than before and seemingly disappointed that he could have made a mistake.
- Oh...No, it's good ! You used it right don't worry ! You exclaimed. Does that mean you are in love with someone Sai ? You asked trying to keep a cheerful voice, you didn't want to hear that he was with Sakura or Ino, or anyone else in fact.
- Yeah...He said without looking

Your heart winced. Well he can't be emotionless forever after all...It was obvious that one day he'll fall in love too, even though that you hoped that day would never come. The boy's face turned red the moment he put the last sheet in front of you but thank to your lack of reactions he became dangerously pale.

Your brain went blank. The last drawing was your portrait, it was so beautifully draw that it took you a moment to understand that this girl was in fact you. You couldn't stop staring at it. How did he managed to draw you with such details ? You never even posed for him. Sai cleared his throat and started to gather all the sheets which made you came back to earth, you stopped him in his track.

- I am sorry you must be disgusted by that. He said apologetically

- No ! I am not ! It's wonderful ! I don't know how you managed to draw me that well, I think that you even exaggerated a little bit I am not that good looking...But thank you I am truly touched !

Sai relaxed a bit and frowned.

- I do think that you are beautiful. At least that how you appear in my mind...The young boy bluntly said making you blush in the process. So...hmm...Can I have your answer ? He said blushing as well with a serious and hopping face.
- My answer ? I already told you what I thought about your drawings.... You said confused.

Sai sighed and replaced the sheets in order : Him, a heart and you. Your heart skipped a beat. Was he telling that he...?

- I read that there was a feeling superior than friendship and that it was call "love". You feel it toward a special person, your heart is suppose to beat faster and you have butterflies in your stomach. I didn't understand at first, I thought it was some kind of strange disease and then I met...You ! and all of this started to happen to me. And as I did more research I read that you have to share this feeling with the person you like and if you do something romantic it would be best...So I think that I made a mistake somewhere...Sai started babbling while different emotions passed through his face : seriousness, embarrassment, confusion...Suddenly he looked at you again. So can I have your answer ?

Your heart was beating so loudly that you were afraid that he jumped out and your face was on fire. You gently took the drawings in your hands and replaced it : you, heart and him. You stole a glance in his direction. His eyes widened and the blush that had disappeared from his face reappeared stronger than before he then looked at you and gave you the most beautiful smile you've ever seen. He wrapped you in his arms and gently kissed you.

- I also read that that is what lovers do. He said before kissing you again.
