ehehe, i know i said i'd write this afternoon, but i ended up taking a nap that spread until nine PM so i didn't do as much as i could have ^^;
Asuka is teh happy because:
-
joosetta wrote more nejinarusasu-ness and ahhh i'm so happy. *rolls in angst and smex* part one and part two.
-Tomorrow and monday the bus drivers are on strike, and i can't be expected to try going to work/school if there's no way for me to go back home. X3
-I NOW OWN A KONOHA HEADBAND. MUAHAHAHAHAHA. *tries it on, various styles* Hinata-style is so cute. Sakura-style -- well, she must use pins or something, because i can't move my head too fast without it falling. I'm gonna try kakashi-style later XD in front of the computer it's not the best to only have an eye, especially not when my eyesight already sucks.
I have a sasuke-pen too. *happys*
-mmmm juicy pear and dark chocolate. MMMMM. *joygasms*
"Hey, what are you doing here? I thought we weren't supposed to meet before the end of the week."
Kakashi shrugged. "You always complain I'm late. You should be happy."
"... Did you take bullshitting classes or does it come naturally?" Naruto asked with a cheeky grin, before sobering up. "Seriously... is there a problem?"
Kakashi actually looked at him this time. "No, not really. I was just walking past."
Translation, I wanted to check on you all so I followed you out here. Naruto was fluent in strong-and-silent-ese by now.
"Sakura's staying with Ino," he commented. It sounded almost random if you didn't know he was answering a question Kakashi would never stoop so low as to ask. "And Sasuke's place is really cramped with the two of us. Maybe you'll be lucky and we'll kill each other before the end of the week."
Kakashi eye-grinned innocently. "Ah, don't say that as if I wouldn't miss you two." Before Naruto could formulate a sufficiently sarcastic answer, the man had teleported to a pole close to where Sasuke was showing Sakura a particularly vicious heel-strike. Rolling his eyes and laughing at the same time, Naruto started jogging to join the little group.
"Say, Sasuke, have you ever thought of becoming a teacher?" Kakashi was asking innocently as Naruto reached them.
Sasuke's face was so funny, Naruto had to bite his cheek to keep from laughing. It was a mix of "gnhuh?", "ick, no way in hell!" and "how am I going to get rid of him?"
Even Sakura was grimacing at the thought. She was trying to cover up how badly she was panting, but Naruto had a close eye on her chest -- uh, on her, and he could tell that she wanted to sit down pretty badly. She was sweaty and streaked with dirt, and she looked tired enough to finally let go of her anger. Naruto wanted her to laugh a little, so he took the most sadistic-glee expression he could muster up, and tried to imitate Sasuke's clipped tones and hoped she didn't jump to the bastard's defense. "This would be the best job ever. I know so many places to hide the bodies."
He evaded a slap to the head from the bastard, laughing, then forced his face to freeze in a forbidding Sasuke-expression. "Water-walking is the easiest thing on earth, even for morons like yourselves. If Masao can't manage it, he deserves to drown."
Sakura let out a giggle, that she muffled quickly with an apologetic look at Sasuke. Sasuke gave him a dark glare, and Naruto wisely jumped behind Kakashi who was pretending not to hear or see anything at all.
"Keiko, if you can't master enough subtlety to ogle my ass without my noticing -- hah, missed, bastard -- then I'm certainly not going to pass you on your stealth test."
Sakura was turning red with the effort she made not to laugh too loudly, and even Kakashi was looking suspiciously amused. Naruto gave himself a mental pat on the back.
Sasuke paused, gave him a narrow-eyed glare, and then he smirked. "We'll be learning how to throw kunai today. There's Naruto. Go for it."
Naruto snickered, and emerged from his hiding place. "I'm sure you would, too. Bastard."
Sakura sat on her heels heavily, hands wrapped around her waist as she laughed hard enough to make tears gather on her eyelashes. "Oh, god. The -- the poor children -- the trauma -- worse than Kakashi-sensei--"
"Oi," the man shot back, pretending to feel hurt.
Sakura was laughing so hard, it worried Naruto a little. It hadn't been that funny. He went to her and sat on his heels at her side, touching her shoulder gently. She crumpled against his shoulder, still giggling herself breathless.
"Sorry... sorry... I'm just tired, that's all... But -- god, Sasuke-kun with students!"
He patted her back gently, grinning. "Hell yeah. Sasuke in charge of kids? I'm terrified just to think of it."
He realized what he'd just said when Sasuke turned away, back stiff, and moved to leave.
Letting him leave would be a bad, bad idea -- when Sasuke was allowed to sulk, he tended to pick at whatever had hurt him until the sting changed into a festering wound. Naruto lunged, snagging his waistband, and pulled him back sharply.
Sasuke landed on his lap, and immediately twisted free, a knee in the dirt between Naruto and Sakura. He was about to jump on his feet, eyes blazing, when Sakura touched his arm, giving him a pleading look. He paused just long enough for Naruto to sling an arm around his shoulders and give him an awkward -- but still manly -- hug.
"Hey, don't sulk. We didn't mean it like that. You know we love you."
He'd meant to say that casually, but somehow seeing the way Sakura's cheeks pinked and Sasuke stilled so totally, to them it had probably sounded a lot more... declaration-y. He almost started gibbering that he hadn't meant it like that, and then -- watching Sakura's head bowed in a mix between a nod and an attempt to hide behind her hair, and Sasuke's mildly stunned look -- decided that he did mean it, even if he hadn't planned to actually say it out loud right then, especially not with Kakashi so close.
He wasn't going to take it back. But he wasn't going to let the situation slide into shy-and-stuttering romance, so he grinned and let Sasuke go.
As always if you see weird grammar or characterization or something that could stand to be tweaked/developed, please tell me. *loves on everyone*

Heh. her legs are a bit on the short side, but. WHATEVER.
