Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura have been tied at each other's hips since they were toddlers. Varying freak accidents unfortunately end the three up as orphans by their mid-teen years. Eventually living together, a certain 2 of the trio start to grown closer but the whole group's dynamic is thrown off when one of them makes a significant mistake one night. One wanted a restart because that mistake nearly destroyed everything. Though they needed to be careful what they wished for, because they got exactly what they wanted, and now the teens are sent spiraling down even more problems. Will their most recent be detrimental or bring Sakura and Sasuke an even deeper connection. (Sasusaku) This is a highschool fic! It's definitely going to be different than any other one you've read though. Writing varies! I started this in 2020 and my style has been through many stages.
