"Ugly Butterfly"

It is dark

Like he was.

Soft dark locks that revealed a raven hue when glinted with light. Obsidian orbs that bore through souls.

It is quiet.

Like he was.

No sound needed to express his emotions. His cool and calm facade bringing out the mysterious vibes that people crave for.

It is peaceful, solemn and relaxing.

"SASUKE-KUUUUUUN!"

And he spoke too soon.

Within a second, Sasuke Uchiha, removed himself from the comfort of his bed quickly running towards one of the bedrooms, the one that is owned by the ever-annoying Sakura Haruno.

Sasuke didn't know why he agreed when Naruto had asked him to get another roommate because he can't carry half of their rent and bills without sacrificing buying and eating ramen even if Sasuke insisted that he can pay for 75% of the expenses. Maybe it's because Sasuke really grew tired and bored of Naruto and that he's been too annoying instead of amusing. Or maybe it's because he just wanted to encourage Naruto or have someone on his team to pick on the blonde hair teen to clean his messes up — which includes his dirty clothes thrown everywhere, ramen stains, ramen cups inside his bed and just the filth inside his room.

But never did he expected that their new roommate would be a girl and not just any other girl, Sakura Haruno, the pink-haired, the most annoying woman that Sasuke had met. She was their childhood friend, their classmate, and they haven't been in contact since their graduation in high school so when Naruto knocked on their door with Sakura beside him. He knew that this was going to be a lot of mess.

Sasuke slammed her door opened, scanning her bedroom with his sharp eyes, and landed on her as she was cowering on one corner of her room with her stuffed dog in her arms.

"What's wrong?"

Like a cue, something flew across the room to Sakura, "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed on top of her lungs as she ran faster than Sasuke can even see and slammed herself to him, hiding behind him.

"Kill it, Sasuke-kun! KILL IT!" Sakura commanded him, pointing her index finger on the flying thing that landed on the wall beside one of Sakura's band posters.

Sasuke sighed as he recognizes what it is 'Cockroach', he shook his head on her childishness.

She glared at him when he just stood there, "COME ON! KILL IT!"

"Sakura. It's just a cockroach..." He told her calmly, looking at her questioningly.

Sakura looked at him and pouted, "I know what it is! It's a cockroach who thinks it can fly like a butterfly. Now kill it! Kill the ugly butterfly! Quick!" She voiced out with disgust, fear and... hatred?

The raven-haired teen glared at her, "You're so annoying." He told her before turning his head back to the spot where the 'ugly butterfly' had landed but there was nothing there.
