Happy Go Lucky

Pairing: Sasu/Saku
Summary: "Ya know Sasuke, I think if you tried to move your mouth to express some sort of pleasantry further than a smirk, your face would crack."
…just a tad bit cheesy! I love cheese, yum.
01.
Bubbly.
It would be the perfect word to describe what she felt right now. Happiness coursed through her, and everyone could see it.
Even Sasuke noticed. Of course he wouldn't say anything though—
"Why are you so happy Sakura-chan?"
—that was Naruto's job.
"Hmm?" She asked absentmindedly.
"I said, why are you so happy?"
"Why can't I be happy? It's a beautiful day." Sakura raised a brow and finally turned to look at him.
The truth was that she had gotten an awesome raise at the hospital, and was getting the entire week off; a week that she wanted to herself and not training all the time. She decided to keep it a secret for now.
"What Naruto means," Kakashi interrupted, "is that you seem happier than usual."
She turned to Sasuke to get a third opinion.
"Hn." Unfortunately, that was all the answers she was going to get.
"Well…if you must know…" Sakura thought of something quickly, "I'm doing something special with someone after we finish training today." She finished off with a sly smile.
"I see," Kakashi said with a hidden smirk at the brief look of conflict on Sasuke's face.
02.
"So Sakura-chan, are you going on a date or something?" Naruto asked while he threw a shuriken at the target.
Sakura's faced flushed a light pink as she retorted, "That's none of your business!"
Sasuke, who stood beside the two, simply rolled his eyes. That was obviously the right answer; not that he cared. She could date whoever she wanted. It had nothing to do with him. Kind of.
"Ah hah! It's true! You're going on a date with someone!" Naruto smirked and poked at Sakura.
"Shut up! No I'm not!" She grabbed his prodding finger to cease the annoying action.
Out of the blue, and quite frighteningly, Sakura turned towards Sasuke with an unreadable expression on her face.
"…" He raised a brow at the look she was giving him. Her abrupt spin had somewhat startled him.
"Umm, I was wondering if you could help me with something after training." She asked with a nervous smile. She was fiddling with her shirt and looking at the ground.
"…I thought you had something special to do."
"Err—I do… It won't take long, I promise! Pretty please with a cherry tomato on top?" She was giving him those eyes. Damn. And she mentioned his beloved tomatoes. Totally not fair.
Sakura was inching closer to his face to get his reaction.
"…uhh…" Sasuke wanted to slap himself for sounding so stupid.
"HA! Teme's blushing!" Naruto exclaimed loudly while pointing towards Sasuke's cheeks.
"Shut up Naruto." Sasuke glared while he tried to suppress the redness.
"So…?" Sakura asked with hopeful eyes.
"…Fine."
"Thank you!" Sakura beamed and gave Sasuke a quick hug.
"Hey! How come he gets a hug and I don't?" Naruto whined.
"Because you stink, dobe." Sasuke smirked.
"—Hey! I don't sti--," Naruto trailed off when he caught a whiff of himself. "...Well, you're a homo sapien, so there!
…
Crickets.
…
"…Well anyways…we should go now Sasuke."
"…Hn."
Oh Naruto…
03.
"Why are we going to your house first?" Sasuke questioned, as he recognized the direction they were heading.
"I need to pick something up first."
"Hn."
"You should be happy for me, Sasuke. I don't get to have special days that often."
"Forgive me for not jumping for joy," he grumbled while remembering her 'date'.
"Ya know Sasuke, I think if you tried to move your mouth to express some sort of pleasantry further than a smirk, your face would crack." Sakura said calmly while looking at nowhere in particular.
Sasuke was taken aback by the random comment. "Excuse me?"
"Well, I'm just saying, you hardly ever smile, and when you do, it's a smirk. It's frustrating sometimes."
'…Why would I smile when you're going on a date with god knows who—!! '
— was what Sasuke was thinking; what came out was a grumbling, "…Hn…stupid—date—not worthy…"
"Pardon?"
"Nothing," he responded in a gruff tone. She could tell he was upset by her comment, so she attempted to make him feel better.
"You have a beautiful smile when you do actually use it, Sasuke." A small red tint spread across his cheeks at her comment.
"…What does this have to do with anything anyway?" He asked while trying to look at anything but her.
"Nothing much. I'm just commenting on your mouth's capabilities. You should put it to good use."
Their walking had slowed to a stop. They were conveniently in front of Sakura's house.
"What's your idea of good use?" He asked while peering at her with his onyx eyes.
"…Well…er…I don't know," she gave away her answer by gazing at his lips, which held a smirk.
He leaned in and pressed his lips to her cheek. He pulled away slowly and replied, "Good enough for you?"
Smile.
"Mm, I think you can do better than that."
-
With that, they practiced Sasuke's mouth's capabilities inside Sakura's house on her couch.

Sasuke pulled away from Sakura's lips with a puff of breath. "So, what did you really need help with before?" He was out of breath.
"I told you, it's my special day."
Yeah, yeah, I know. Cheesy. =P
