The Choice (SasuSaku)

Chapter 13

After the little incident between Naruto and Hinata, we had to lay them down on their respective towels. We ended up doing the same, trying to enjoy the rest of the sun we had left. Unfortunetely, about an hour later, the only thing we could see was clouds, so we started to pack everything and in the end we woke up the two lovebirds. They were still very embarassed from the preivous event but nobody dared to say anything about it until we were out of the place.

"Hey, wait up!" Ino said, stopping all of us. "Before you leave, I want to give you these fliers for Sai's event!" She smiled, proud of her boyfriend, as she gave us the fliers.

"How troublesome. An art exposition?" Shikaramu let out a yawn, putting the piece of paper inside his backpack.

"So, tell me Naruto... Is everything ok?" I asked, looking at both Naruto and Hinata. "You have a bruise and Hinata looks as red as a tomato..." I showed an innocent smile, trying to pretend I didn't see them before.

"Oh, it was nothing... Just a little accident." He laughed nervously while Hinata covered her face. Damn it, they were really stubborn.

"Are you sure? Because of what we all saw seems that you and Hinata shared a little kiss." Ino spoke, looking at them with a teasing smile. "But in the end she hit with her head on yours." She added, making us laugh.

"Ah..." The blonde boy looked away, feeling very embarassed with the whole situation. "Hey! I have an idea!" He spoke again after a couple of seconds. "What do you guys think about going out for ramen tonight?"

"Sorry but I have dinner at my parents-in-law." Shikamaru first said.

"And I have to help Sai with the last arrangements!" Ino answered. I could say that Naruto was a little disappointed.

"What about you two?" He looked at both me and Sasuke with a suspicious expression. I didn't answer, feeling my cheeks getting hotter with all the thoughts I was having about Sasuke.

"Sakura and I already have plans." Sasuke simply said, looking at his best friend. "But... Perhaps there's someone that can go with you." He smirked, taking a look at Hinata that immediately turned red.

"Ah? Sasuke!" She said, trying to cover her face with her hands. She was really shy when it came to Naruto.

"Sure, why not?" Naruto showed a gentle smile to the lavender haired girl. "Hey, Hinata! What do you say? Should we have ramen tonight?"

"O-Of course, Naruto!" Hinata smiled shyly. Thank God, they were finally going to have a date.


After the whole conversation we said our goodbyes and everyone went on opposite directions. Me and Hinata went to my house so I could pack my things and have the chance to talk to her about Naruto and maybe help her out, Sasuke left with Naruto and Shikamaru and Ino left alone.



Sasuke's POV

Once we said our goodbyes, I left with Naruto because since it was only 5 in the afternoon and I had a lot of time before my dinner with Sakura. My blonde friend invited me to his house to have a game or two of FIFA on his Playstation 4 and I couldn't say no to that. Especially because I was damn good at it. We were now walking straight to the bus station and there was a small silence until he decided to talk.

"You know something? You are such a lucky bastard!" He started saying, looking at me with a smile. "Sakura is such a cool girl and since you've been dating her I've never seen you happier."

"Hn. Yeah, she makes me really happy." I admitted, showing a smile while a pink haired girl invaded my mind. I was so fucking lucky to have her by my side. And I haven't said it to her yet but... I love her. She's an amazing girl and makes me feel a better person. I don't want to imagine what would I do without her. But I would probably keep being the cold mysterious guy that didn't talk much or even smiled at all. However, my thoughts about my cherry blossom were interrupted with Naruto's voice.
