You and Sasuke Uchiha were pretty close friends since the early academy days. You had bonded over the fact that you had both lost your parents, and you helped him when he needed it the most. Of course, you could never truly understand his pain, since his entire clan had been killed by his older brother. Your parents had simply been killed in action when you were small, their names forever engraved on the memorial stone.
You also kinda had a crush on him. But that's a different plate of cookies for a different glass of milk. (Thanks Gilmore Igiul -obi)
Presently, you were taking a stroll with him throughout the village after he came back from yet another cat rescue mission. He was currently grumbling about how they only got cat missions and how both of his teammates were annoying and his sensei was unqualified for his job, but you weren't really paying attention. The weather was fairly pleasant; the wind blew gently through your hair (rip if ur hair isn't long enough for the wind to blow through -obi), and leaves occasionally blew about, as they usually did in Konoha.
"(Y/N)? Hello?" Sasuke looked at you curiously, slightly annoyed that you weren't listening to him.
You blushed and rubbed the back of your neck. "Sorry, I was just admiring the scenery. Also, you were being really boring. Snoozefest!"
"Hn," he mumbled, looking away. You elbowed him.
"My day was super interesting, unlike yours. Or maybe you just stink at telling stories. Yeah, that makes sense. C'mon, let's go to Ichiraku's and talk about it!" You grabbed his hand and dragged him to Ichiraku Ramen, but he didn't resist.

As you ate your ramen, you kind of forgot about the "and talk about it" part. You slipped into a comfortable silence and you both slurped up your ramen, sitting next to each other. Not surprisingly, Naruto and Iruka were eating in the other side of the shop, doing father-son things. But they're not important to the story so I won't say anything else about them.
You stole a glance at Sasuke, suddenly finding yourself almost being shy around him. Maybe you had been hanging around Hinata too much or something. At the same time, he had been looking at you. You both blushed and looked away, but you didn't feel uncomfortable or awkward about it. As you left the establishment, the silence continued. The warm air blew through your hair as the sun started to go down in the sky, painting it warm colors of orange and red. Sasuke looked at the ground, contemplating what he wanted to say.
"(Y/N), I..." he started quietly.
"I think I like you."
"I like you too, Sasuke," you responded softly, looking at his blushing face and gently taking his hand in yours. He smiled a rare, genuine smile at you.
"Took you long enough," you mumbled jokingly, as you fell into another comfortable silence.
Is this too cheesy? -obi
