AN: Hi everyone! SO basically I googled basic human emotions and it gave me a big list. I chose 15 of them and I am going to write 15 one shots about it. SOME OF THEM WILL BE RATED M I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHICH ONES THOSE ARE. This is all from Sai's POV as he deals with learning how to handle his emotions again, it is a very vulnerable time for him since he is so used to hiding them. I will try to upload one chapter every day, I have 7 written right now so that should be pretty attainable. Let me know what you think!

Affection

Sai was used to feeling affection since he had met Sakura and Naruto. What he wasn't used to was how often he would feel the warmth in his chest. The most recent example of this was with Ino Yamanaka. There was no way that Sai could continue to deny the existence of his heart because every time he laid eyes on her when she was laughing with her teammates he would feel a strange sort of comforting warmth surround him. Every time she sent a smile in his direction, he would feel his stomach skip with happiness. To be honest, it unsettled him on a very large degree. He could write a book about all the reasons he should not become attached to the blonde!

First off, she was loud and boisterous.

Second of all he wasn't ever sure what to say around her.

Third, he never knew when he would be clobbered over the head.

Fourth is that she was the bossiest person he had ever met.

Fifth was that she cared far too much about her appearance.

But for all the arguing he did with himself, he couldn't seem to shake the feeling. He wished that she would just do something to make him hate her, because the affection he felt for her made him feel uncomfortable in his own skin. For all the reasons he had created to avert himself from the woman, he could think of something wonderful about her to replace it.

First, she was outspoken and wasn't afraid to speak her mind

Second, she kept him on his toes and it was always exciting to talk to her

Third, she wasn't afraid to stand up for herself. She refused to be disrespected.

Fourth, even though she bossed him around quite a bit he knew that she wouldn't ever treat him differently because he hadn't had a conventional childhood

Fifth, although she may be hung up on her looks he couldn't deny that she had a certain kind of beauty about her.

When he had first met the woman he had thought she was ugly, but watching her in battle and listening to her speak had made him realize that she was beautiful. Everything about her added up to this subtle kind of beauty that would sneak up on you until it hit you in the face one day.

He hated having affection for Ino Yamanaka. But he did, and there was no way to stop it.
