"Gah, I hate rain," Sasuke muttered under his breath, while drinking his coffee. "Hey Sasuke, cheer up!" Sakura was next to him and smiled. They were sitting in a café and heard the clanks of the dishes, the people chattering, smelling the sweet aroma of the coffee, and watching the raindrops hit the window in front of them. "Hn, but I do hate rain," Sasuke sipped his coffee and glared at the window in front of them.

Sakura sighed at his attitude and pouted, "Why DO you hate the rain so much Sasuke?" Sasuke stopped drinking and put down his cup. Silence his the air and tension was surging between them. 'Gosh Sakura! You hit a quiet spot there!' "Eheheh…that's okay Sasuke you don't have to answer—"

"It's because it reminds me how everything was taken away from me," Sasuke glared at the cup in his hand. He could see his reflection on the coffee's liquid surface. Sakura stayed quiet for a while and then said quietly, "What happened?" Sasuke closed his eyes and returned drinking, "Nothing…"

"Oh…" Sakura looked at the window in front of her and smiled a bit. Sasuke looked at her at the corner of his eye, "What's with the smile?" Sakura was startled a little but smiled brightly in return, "Oh nothing! It's just…the rain reminds me of my mother…how she always told me stories when it was raining."

Sasuke looked a little interested and his eyes told her to continue, saying nothing. Sakura chuckled at his action for Sasuke wasn't much of words, "When I was little on rainy days like these, my mother would always tell me stories. All different kind of stories, humor, mystery, horror, romance, you name it." Sasuke just nodded and Sakura continued, "But the stories she told the most was fantasy. Like how the prince has to battle a monstrous dragon to save the princess, or how a girl turned out living in rags but then lived in a castle and became a princess, or how a princess was poisoned and a prince—"

"That's stupid…they're all about princes and princesses," Sasuke interrupted. Sakura looked insulted, "Yeah, so? It's fun to hear and besides it all ends in a happy ending." Sasuke scoffed, "Happy endings? There's no such thing as happy endings…" Sakura pouted but can understand him, 'He's been through so much…of course he hasn't experienced many happy moments…' "Not all stories end in happy endings. My mother told me this one story when I was a bit older and it was so tragic. It made me cry all the time how the couples never really been together…"

"Let me guess, a love story?" Sasuke muttered and looked at her with a i-know-I'm-right stare. Sakura looked at him with surprise, "You know Sasuke?" Sasuke sighed, "I'm not stupid Sakura. I can tell it's a love story, the way girl's cry over it all the time." Sasuke muttered the last sentenced and sipped his coffee. "What did you say Sasuke?" Sakura titled her head at him and motioned the waiter for more coffee. "Nothing. Continue."

"Right so anyway, this story was called Romeo and Juliet. It's a Shakespeare novel and is very famous around the world. It takes place during the Renaissance and there were two houses: the Capulets and the Montagues. The two houses weren't enemies at first. Romeo was from the Montagues and Juliet was from the Capulets. There was a ball the Capulets held and Romeo and his cousin Benvolio wanted to attend the ball secretely to meet this girl named Rosaline. But instead of falling in love with Rosaline, he fell in love with Juliet. After they meet secretly every night wishing to be together. But then something terrible happened, Tybalt, Juliet's cousin killed Mercutio, Romeo's friend. With rage, Romeo killed Tybalt as revenge. The Capulets and the Montagues heard this horrible news and they became sworn enemies. Juliet was horrified with this news and her father urged to search and kill Romeo. But Juliet longed to be with Romeo forever and asked the Friar for help. He gave Juliet this drug that makes her be in a death-like coma for forty-two hours. The Friar sent a messenger to tell Romeo that it was only a plan, but Romeo never got the message and when he met Juliet…he thought she was dead. He was consumed with depression that he drank a poison he had. And when Juliet woke up, she saw Romeo's dead body beside her and took his dagger and stabbed her heart. And so…the two lovers never was together again…" Sakura ended with a soft voice and felt tears about to come.

Sasuke was quiet, "…that was stupid of Romeo." Sakura shook her tears out, "What??" Sasuke continued and drank his second cup of coffee, "I said it was stupid of Romeo to commit suicide like that. Even though he never knew Juliet was dead, he should realize that he's risking his life too. It's stupid he took his life away for such girl…" Sakura had a tint of anger in her eyes, "Sasuke! How can you say that! He committed suicide cause he knows that life without her is life without living! His life was her and he loved her so much that he took his life away!" Sasuke, as stubborn as he was, argued, "But if he really loved her, he would keep on living for her. I mean…isn't that what Juliet would wanted?"

Sakura became quiet and took in his words, '…he's right…I mean if Sasuke and I had that type of relationship…which I don't think will happen, I would want Sasuke to live on for me…not throw away his life…' But Sakura was stubborn and huffed and crossed her arms, "Whatever!" Sasuke smirked at her childish actions and spoke quietly, "I always win." Sakura looked at him with the corner of her eye, "I heard that."

It was quiet again and then Sakura looked at her watch, "We should get going now Sasuke." "Hn," Sasuke took one last sip and stood up. Sakura said her thank yous and goodbyes and went to the front door outside. Sakura looked up a the grey sky as the sky teared more rain, "Awww. It's still raining and we didn't bring an umbrella." Sasuke put his hands in his pockets, "We should wait until the rain stops…cause I'm not getting wet." Sakura chuckled teasingly, "Why? Don't wanna ruin your gelled-chicken hair?" Sasuke glared and retorted, "Hey! It takes me a lot of time to put my hair like this. And it does not look like a chicken!"

Sakura looked away and spoke sarcastically, "Yeah yeah sure, Sasuke. Whatever you say." Sasuke pouted and smirked without letting her noticing. As the rain was still pouring and silence was measured, Sakura spoke, "You know, all of the stories my mother told me, I had no favorite." Sasuke raised his eyebrow, "Not even the Romeo and Juliet one?" Sakura shook her head, "Nope." "How about the fantasies?" Sasuke looked at her curiously. "Nope. Not even that. Actually…I do," Sakura smiled and continued to look at the rain falling. Sasuke then looked at the sky and none of them spoke again for a few minutes. Sasuke broke the silence, "Then what is your favorite fantasy?" Sakura spoke was silent for a while and looked at him with a sweet smile. "To kiss in the rain." Sasuke looked at her weirdly and Sakura noticed. "What? Doesn't have to be a story," Sakura laughed but Sasuke continued to look weirdly at her. Sakura tilted her head, "Why? You never thought about kissing in the rain?" Sasuke looked away having a tint of pink on his cheeks, "No." Sakura smiled and didn't noticed his blush, "Well…I really wish I can kiss in the rain with the person I love." Sakura looked shyly at him and hoping Sasuke would notice she was referring to him, but doubted it. Sasuke looked at her and thought, 'Maybe you will…'

Then Sakura shook her head, "What's yours?" Sasuke was taken back from her question and looked away, "Nothing." "Oh come on! You got to have SOME favorite fantasy?" Sakura playfully pulled his arm. "Come on Sakura. Let go," Sasuke pulled his arm but Sakura wouldn't let go. "Come on!" "No." "Come on!" "No!" "COME ON SASUKE!" "NO SAKURA!" And it went on for minutes and Sasuke finally gave up. "Okay okay Sakura I get it." Sakura cheered and shouted, "AHA! I beat Sasuke Uchiha!" And she didn't realize she was right outside getting wet from the rain. Sasuke looked at her idiotic appearance and then smirked. "Hey Sakura stop cheering. Don't you want to know? Cause I'm totally fine by not telling," Sasuke called out and Sakura's ears perked up and scampered to Sasuke. "NO! Please tell!" Sakura looked at him regaining her posture and still didn't realize her clothes were wet. Sasuke took a second. "Sooo, what's yours?" Sakura leaned in to hear what he's about to say.

Sasuke looked at the sky and the rain and then to Sakura. "Come on Sakura," he pulled Sakura and went right under the rain. It wasn't cold, the rain was warm and Sakura almost drooled by Sasuke's appearance, but then snapped out of her mind. "Err…Sasuke? What are we doing underneath the rain?" Sasuke put his hands on her shoulders and looked straight into her emerald eyes. Onyx to emerald. "My fantasy is to be the one kissing you." Sakura widened her eyes and didn't believe what she was hearing, "W-What?" Sasuke smirked at her reaction, "Sakura what was your favorite fantasy again?" "To kiss in the rain, but Sasuke I still don't understand why we—" and then was interrupted by a warm sensation. Sakura realized that it was Sasuke and was burning with happiness inside of her. 'I-I can't believe it! My fantasies coming true!' They broke for air and Sasuke spoke, "Did your fantasy come true?" Sakura smiled the best smile she can conjure up. "Of course."
