Oooh. I like all the layers here -- the covert mission, the way Sai and Sasuke are playing on the visual image and cultural pattern they fit in order to hook their target's interest (and also give Naruto space to work?), that Sasuke knows the details of Sakura's romance collection (!!!), the pulled threats both boys are disguising under the veil of intimate gestures. Very sexy!
