It was love at first sight.
She was the most prettiest thing he ever laid eyes on. Her short pink hair looked so soft, shining under the sun's rays. Her green eyes, that oddly reminded him of his frog doll, literally glittered and sparkled whenever they moved. Her porcelain skin made her look so fragile, delicate, girly.
It was love at first sight. So it should come to no surprise that he blurted out an "I love you" when he first saw her.
She stared at him with wide - pretty and sparkling - eyes. "Wha-?"
"Sakura-chan!" a blonde girl's voice called out.
She even had a pretty name.
"The others are playing over at the sandbox, let's go-" she stopped when she caught sight of him. She frowned and tugged on Sakura's hand, "Come on! Don't hang around with boys! They have cooties!"
Sakura let herself be pulled away from him. He frowned as the two girls went out of sight. He'd have to ask Jiraiya if he did something wrong. The old man always said that if you say "I love you" to a maiden, they'd melt in your hands...
He looked down to his hands. He didn't want her to melt, so he guessed it was okay. He could think of something else to say the next time they met.
Confession #2
"Have we met before?"
He stopped vandalizing his desk for a moment and looked up at the voice. "Of course! I was probably in your best dreams!" he exclaimed with a large grin.
She glared at him, her fists clenched in anger at his haughty personality. "Forget I asked," she remarked, turning around to leave.
"No, wait!" he said, grabbing out to hold her wrist. "You're... you used to live in Konoha, right?" he inquired, already knowing her answer. He knew who she was alright.
She had pretty, shiny pink hair and pretty, sparkling green eyes. She was his first love... err well, what he proclaimed was his first love, even if they only met once not counting this encounter. No one could easily forget her vibrant locks. She frowned at him, "Yeah... but, I don't remembering meeting a blonde boy..." But then her eyes widened. "You're that kid with the marks on his face!"
He nodded, for once he was proud of those lines. "And you're the girl with the pink hair," he pointed out.
"Ah, yeah... You're the one..." She looked a bit hesitant to say her next words. "... th-that said you loved me, right?"
"Yup!" he answered cheerily.
"Did I even know you that time?"
"Nope!" he answered in the same manner as before.
She crossed his arms. "O... kay. Did you even know me?"
"Not at all!"
"... You're weird," she commented. But the amusement in her eyes made him know that it wasn't an insult. "So um... since we haven't officially met," she held out her hand, "I'm Haruno Sakura."
He shook hands with her, a grin still on his face. "The name's Uzumaki Naruto! I'm surprised you still remembered my confession."
She laughed and looked at anything besides his eyes. "I thought about it a lot when it happened, never gave myself a chance to forget. But," she faced him with a large grin, "if I hadn't remembered, then we wouldn't be talking right now!"
It was the start a beautiful friendship.
"I still love you, y'know."
Sakura's eyes went wide.
