Sakura stared at the screen of her laptop, her eyes scanning over the same few biology terms she was trying to memorize for the umpteenth time. Her eyes were heavy, her brain fatigued as she silently mouthed their definitions, over and over. Sakura was determined to finish the last few pages of the chapter with whatever juice her brain had left before taking a break.
Then her phone buzzed.
She snatched it off the desk immediately, her heart humming behind her ribcage when she saw that the message was from Sasuke.
"C'mon, Sasuke, please say yes…"
Sakura swiped open her messaging app, having sent a text to Sasuke hours ago that he had finally replied too.
Me: Hey, Sasuke-kun! I was wondering if you would like to study for the history mid-term together? Please let me know, I could use a study buddy. Thanks! 😊
Sasuke-kun: No, I'm good. Thanks. Good luck.
Me: Oh sure, no problem! If you change your mind, let me know! Good luck!
"Fuck!" Sakura let her phone clatter back on her desk, running her hand through her hair. They were in different programs and history was the only subject they shared, so that was her only hope of trying to study with him, and like all her other attempts to get closer to him, it failed.
Sakura had planned it out so carefully, sitting behind Sasuke during class and having Ino remark about how great Sakura's marks in history were. Sasuke might not have cared about anything else, but he did respect someone who studied hard and did well in class. Then they would study a few times at the library, and he would be so impressed by her knowledge and understanding of the material. When he realized her worth and she suggested they do some late-night studying at her dorm, of course he'd agree then. One thing would lead to another and...
Sakura let out a sigh, almost scoffing at herself for that spark of arousal that ran down her spine from her silly delusions. She rubbed her face with her palm and closed her laptop, having lost all of her will to study for the time being, frustration gnawing at her gut.
It was honestly pathetic, half a semester's worth of trying and at the end of the day, the common denominator between her and Sasuke was their proximity to Naruto of all people.
Sakura sat in her chair, swivelling it back and forth while she stared at her phone, the thought of Naruto now drumming at the back of her mind, before she decided to pick it up. She opened the messaging app and went to her chat with Naruto, the picture of the cat he'd taken that morning looking back at her. The cat's face was up near the camera, possibly sniffing it when Naruto took the picture. The camera was tilted to catch the green eyes of the animal.
Dumbass: saw this cutie on my jog tday! She's got pretty eyes like u, Sakura-chan! 😍
Dumbass: nvm, it's a boy lmao, licked himself all in front of me, yuckk! 😹
Sakura had reacted with a heart emoji on the first message and an eye roll on the second, too busy with studying to pay it any more attention than that. She chewed on her bottom lip, wondering if it would be weird to reply to the pictures now. Her thumb was pressed against the screen scrolling up and down before she settled herself and sent a simple hey. She put down the phone, planning to wash her face to clear out some of her fatigue, but it buzzed the second it was on the desk.
Dumbass: Hey!!! What's up?
Me: Nm, i was studying but really needed a break lol. U up to anything?
Dumbass: Nahhh, had sum practice this morning, chilling now. How's studying, going good?
Sakura hesitated, the heat from before pulling down to her abdomen now. This was the reason she got Naruto's number in the first place, for a little bit of relaxation, some stress relief…but despite that, she never ended up being the one to initiate it before.
Was she really going to text Naruto for a booty call?
Her thumb was on the screen again, her habit of scrolling up and down, and she accidentally released while swiping up, and it was like God was trying to give her courage, the chat landing on one of the many topless thirst trap pictures Naruto had sent her before. He wasn't slick at all in his attempts to entice her — and why should he be? With a body like that it worked hook, line and sinker, Sakura rushing over to his place to get put through his mattress.
V-cut abs tapering into salaciously low-slung sweatpants had Sakura's thumbs typing before her mind even caught up, but fuck it, why not? Wasn't this a part of the college experience anyway?
Me: Yeahhh, it's not 2 bad i guess. Btw, are u busy rn? If not, do u wanna come over to my place? Ino won't be here until late…
Her thumb barely moved off send when Naruto replied.
Dumbass: omw!!! 🏃
Sakura blinked at the message and then looked down at herself, her well worn boy shorts and tank top. "Shit!"
She got up off her chair, giving her room a quick glance over and glad her perfectionism kept her room mostly well-kept. She moved over some books that were strewn about on her bed and on the floor back to their proper places and then spread her comforter. She gave a quick spray of air freshener to the corners of her room, not that it was strictly needed, but it was better safe than sorry, she thought. Sakura rushed to her bathroom, washing her face and changing into a very casual and sensible set of high waisted jeans and a white blouse (with some nicer underwear). She just finished applying some deodorant, a small spritz of perfume and a coating of strawberry lip balm when there was a knock from the entrance of her dorm room, her phone buzzing as Naruto sent a message that he had arrived.
"Hey!" Naruto beamed at her when Sakura let him into her dorm and he hugged her immediately, picking her up off the floor and doing a little spin around the entrance. His face was pressed against the top of her head, and he hummed into her hair. "Man, you smell good."
"My smell? Who greets someone like that?" Sakura laughed when he put her down and she fixed her hair, smiling up at Naruto. His face was flushed lightly and his hair, always wild, tousled even more and she wondered if his emojis were literal and he actually ran all the way here from his dorm.
He shrugged and his smile lazy on his face now as he gave her an obvious once over. Sakura fought the urge to preen under his gaze. "Wow, lookin' good, Sakura-chan. You really study at home wearin' that?"
Now it was Sakura's turn to give him a shrug, avoiding the scrutinizing look in his eyes.
"I gotta say, I rushed over here hopin' I'd catch you in somethin' a bit more ratty, y'know?" Naruto laughed. "You're waaay to put together all the time."
"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you, Naruto," she drawled a hand on her hip and he leaned against her wall as he gave another look over.
"No, no, don't be sorry. I'll getcha one of these days, y'know?"
"Suuuure."
"Y'know, if it were me, I'd probably be in just sweats or somethin'."
"I know, you've sent me pictures, lots of them, remember?"
"Oh yeah." His grin was sheepish but there was a twinkle of mischievousness in his eyes. "Forgot about those."
Sakura rolled her eyes, muttering as if under her breath as she led him to her room before closing the door behind them.
Naruto had been in her room before, but this was the first time she'd called him over with the implication of having sex. Despite that, when she turned around, he was sitting on the edge of her bed like it was his. A smile wide across his face.
"So, Sakura-chan, when I think 'bout it a little bit, this has gotta be the first time you've called me over, right?"
"I'm not sure, maybe…" Sakura said as if she didn't know he was exactly right.
His look was knowing, however.
"And my poor, over-stressed, over-worked Sakura-chan can use some stress relief, is that it?" It was almost a purr as she spread his legs, a spark of heat rushing down her spine as she glanced at the obvious bulge behind his pants. "A bit of cock to make her brain feel stupid for a little bit?"
"It sounds so gross when you say it like that," Sakura muttered, but she looked at him up through her lashes and nodded her head.
Naruto patted the space on the bed between his legs. "Come here, Sakura-chan. Let me take care of you."
It was easy to underestimate Naruto's height, the way he was always walking around slouched or leaning, but when Sakura kneeled on the bed while Naruto sat on it, her face was barely hovering above his own. She sucked in a small breath as Naruto's hands settled on her hips with a practiced ease. Large hands running up to her waist and back down like a caress.
Their lips nearly brushed from the breaths they took, Naruto staring up at her. His eyes were beautiful, sparkling like an ocean underneath the sun. He tilted his head toward her, making a needy sound at the back of his throat, and Sakura closed the distance.
They kissed gently, soft and sweet, lips pressing against each other over and over. Sakura's arms rested on Naruto's shoulders, her hands on the back of his head, fingers curling against his rowdy hair. She tugged slightly, changing the slot of his mouth against hers and he made a delicious sound that made her nerves sing.
Sakura caught his bottom lip between her own, sucking lightly and then sweeping her tongue against it, Naruto opening his mouth for her. Their tongues swiped against each other, rolled against each other, soft but eager, and heat pooled between Sakura's thighs, her body leaning on Naruto's hard one.
"Fuck," Sakura murmured when she pulled back from Naruto. His tanned cheeks were dark with a blush, his pupils pushing out that gorgeous blue into a ring and his tongue ran over his lips, like he was addicted to the hint of strawberry balm that was left there.
He looked unbelievably appetizing, a five-course meal for her arousal, and Sakura pushed him down on her bed, Naruto's eyes wide and an oof leaving his mouth as she straddled his hips. She tugged on the hem of his hoodie, pulling it up and exposing defined abs and a dusting of blonde hair that trailed down until it was hidden by his pants.
"Yo, chill. Is Ino comin' back soon or somethin'?"
Sakura forced herself to stop drooling over the peek of Naruto's muscles and v-cut and snapped her eyes back to his face. "Huh? No, she won't be here for a while."
"Then why are we rushing?" He laughed. Naruto reached for her and pulled her back down, his hands cupping her face as he licked the corner of her mouth and then ran his tongue over her lips, moaning as he cleaned the flavour of strawberry clean off. He controlled her this time, languid and lingering teases of lip and tongue only for a moment before he became needer. The kisses were deeper, passionate, desperate.
Sakura sighed and moaned into Naruto's mouth, her hips rolling as she rubbed herself against the impression of Naruto's cock, and he nibbled on her bottom lip.
"That's it, fuck, such a good girl," Naruto murmured, his voice raspy, rattling against Sakura's bones. She rocked faster against him, her panties slowly being soaked through.
They kissed until Sakura's mind was hazy, high on the press of lips, the sound of Naruto's soft gasps and the scent of his cologne, rich and woodsy.
They kissed, her hips rolling against his, until her lips were swollen and arousal painted up the inside of her thighs, her cunt pulsing with her heartbeat.
"That's enough, don't you think?" Sakura asked, panting as she broke their kiss. Naruto reached for her mouth, wiping a stray strand of saliva with his thumb and bringing it back to his mouth to suck off, nodding his head.
Sakura slipped off the bed, rushing to undress herself and wondering why she even bothered switching from her tank top and shorts in the first place. Naruto scooted back on her bed and did the same, tugging off his hoodie and t-shirt before raising his hips off the bed to pull off his pants and boxers.
Sakura watched him get on his knees with a dry mouth. She worked out, did Pilates, and kept herself in good shape — but a student athlete's body was something else. Naruto was slim but tight, cut, strong forearms corded with muscles and arms and shoulders that were well-trained at the gym, like he could really crush her if he wanted to.
And those delectable abs with their sexy v-cut that Sakura wanted to kiss and run her tongue over, something straight out of a magazine.
"Fuck me." Naruto's sharp intake of air broke Sakura out of her stupor, her face hot as Naruto ogled her openly. She was used to it by now, but she had to fight the urge to cover her stretch marks with her hands. Naruto hated when she did that and punished her once by pinning her down and kissing and licking them, moaning praises into her skin until she was begging him to touch her cunt.
She flushed harder at the memory.
"You're so gorgeous," he said, like every time, the awe in voice the same, every time. Sakura's heart skipping a beat against her wishes when he said it, every time. "C'mere, Sakura-chan, I need to feel you."
Sakura crawled onto the bed, moving toward Naruto until they were kneeling in front of each other. Her eyes dropped down to Naruto's uncut cock, heavy and thick as it bobbed with arousal between his legs. Tanned skin that darkened a bit at the base, his tip red and glossed over with precum as it strained against his foreskin.
It was almost grotesque in its beauty, but Sakura couldn't help the shiver of arousal that made its way down her spine just from the sight of Naruto's cock.
"This thing is way too big, uselessly big." She reached for it giving it an appreciative stroke, her thumb rubbing against a vein near the head.
Naruto moaned at her touch, his eyes fluttering close for a moment before he looked at her, the lust evident in the way they were glassed over.
"Useless except for the way it makes you feel good. Ain't that right, Sakura-chan?"
He moved closer to her, one hand resting on her breast, massaging it and his thumb brushing over her nipple, the other on her ass, groping and squeezing.
"Yes, it's very good for that," Sakura breathed and Naruto leaned forward kissing her again, their mouths open and tongues sliding as they touched each other's bodies. They made out, Sakura stroking Naruto's cock with both her hands, not enough to cover the thing. She worked his cock until she felt the precum smearing into her skin. Naruto moved his hand from her ass to between her legs, large as he cupped her cunt. Sakura moaned into his mouth as he pressed his palm against her, sliding it against her folds.
"You're so fuckin' wet, Sakura-chan. You don't need me to go down on you, but can I, please?" He was whiny and even though he gave her the out, he sounded like he would die if he didn't get to give her oral sex.
So she rolled her eyes, as if it were a great burden to her, laying on her back and said, "Fine."
Naruto cheered, a goofy grin on his face as he settled himself between her legs, Sakura spreading her thighs for him.
He looked up at her with dark eyes, his large hands running up the inside of her thighs, Sakura's breath catching in her throat when he rubbed her arousal into her skin.
"So wet, fuck me," Naruto groaned, leaning so close that Sakura could feel his breath on her. "Smells sooo good."
"You're such a pervert!" Sakura hissed, her ears burning as she reached for his hair and tugged on it but he fought her off, giving her a glare before kissing along the inside of her right thigh. "How do other girls put up with you? F-fuck."
She already knew the answer. Because he was handsome and personable. Friendly and nice. A killer body with a killer cock, and a mouth that'd make a girl see heaven.
Well, maybe that last one was for her only. She remembered the first time he went down on her, and she was surprised about how clumsy he was. When he admitted he never did it before, it filled her with a strange sense of pride, knowing how popular he was and that she got something from him first. He begged to do it every time they met up and became so good at it, she almost felt bad for any of the girls that denied him.
She yelped, brought out of her thoughts when Naruto bit lightly on the meat of her thigh, right next her cunt.
"When I'm with you, your big brain better be focused on me, Sakura-chan." He was pouting, his tongue lapping at the mark he made, and she petted his head in understanding.
"Okay, okay, sorry. Please stop teasing me then."
Naruto purred, taking her legs and moving over his shoulders and along his toned back, her heels resting right in the dip of his muscles.
"Oh," Sakura moaned, her eyes fluttering as Naruto tucked his face right against her cunt, giving it a kiss before he started eating her out.
Naruto ran his tongue through her folds, collecting her arousal with each gentle, purposeful lick. Sakura was already so wet she must have been flooding his mouth but he was still dutiful, swallowing and then lapping at her again. His tongue was long and flat as he licked her bottom to top, Sakura whimpering when his nose bumped against her clit.
He moaned into her, even muttered fuck underneath his breath, his eyes glued to her cunt as he worshiped it with his lips and tongue. He stroked his tongue over her folds, then dipped inside her, curling against the front of her wall. Then he teased her lips, suckling it into his mouth with a light pinch before he let it fall out.
"Fuck, Naruto, you're still teasing me," Sakura whined, her hand resting on the back of Naruto's neck, her hips riding up against his face. He looked up at her with his eyes blown dark, winking while he pressed his mouth tight against her, kissing her pussy, fucking it with her tongue and avoiding her throbbing clit like it was his sworn rival.
He was doing it on purpose, building up that superficial pleasure that kept a heartbeat pulsing through her cunt, her arousal gushing easily for him while her orgasm drummed just out of reach.
"You're such a dickhead, a jerk!"
Naruto pulled off to laugh, his shoulders shaking, his mouth glossed over with her arousal. "Hmm, my bad, you taste way too good, Sakura-chan. Addictin', y'know?"
She smacked the back of his head lightly, gripping his hair after and pushing his face back to her cunt, Naruto moaning in approval at her actions.
"That's good for you, but if you don't suck my fucking clit and make me come, I'll kick you out and get the job done myself!"
Naruto laughed again, both of them knowing it was an empty threat but he gave her a mock salute before his hands reached around to her ass, pushing her cunt against his face as he attacked once more.
"Ooooh," Sakura moaned, her eyes rolling back as her body reacted to how serious he was now. He was still only lapping at her cunt, but he was like an animal, broad, fast strokes with the flat of his tongue then mixing it with quick, kittenish licks. Sakura felt herself leaking all over Naruto's mouth, and when she tugged on his hair, he gave her a quick glance up with those lust-glazed eyes, the muscles of his shoulder and back flexing slightly, looking like the definition of sex as he finally took her clit into his mouth. "F-fuck, yes!"
Sakura's cunt clenched around nothing, in time with the wet suckles Naruto made on her clit. His tongue rolling over it and the surrounding sensitive skin between the pulses of his mouth. It was exactly what Sakura needed, pleasure building way too fast, from up her thighs and down her abdomen, collecting right at her cunt as Naruto worked her over.
Sakura moaned and whined, her fingers still curling in Naruto's hair, her hips riding up against his face and her feet flexing against his strong back, heels digging into the muscle.
"Naruto, Naruto, oh my god," Sakura was stuck between a laugh and a cry, her body urging her to writhe away from Naruto's determined mouth. His eyes on her, lips pursed, and mouth hollowed — suck, suck, suck. "Please, oh my god, Naruto, please!"
Naruto gave her exactly what she was asking for, even if she struggled to put it in words, sweet, steady delicious suction on her clit until the heat of her cunt melted through her, her cunt aching as it clenched around emptiness, her thighs shaking around Naruto's head as she came with a long moan.
Sakura panted as she laid her head on her pillow and nearly jolted up when two thick fingers pressed into her, even as she was still pulsing with the aftershocks of her orgasm.
"W-wait a second, Naruto, I just came!"
"No," he grunted, and Sakura propped herself on her elbows to watch with wide eyes as Naruto went back to toying with her clit, mouth closed around it, tongue rolling against it while his fingers pushed in and out of her cunt, searching.
Sakura made a deranged sound when he found what he was looking for.
"No, no, Naruto, d-don't…"
He ignored her, his fingers circling and curling, brushing over ridged tissue, attacking it as he started sucking on her clit again.
The sounds were deliriously wet, like he'd pumped a bottle of lube into her, and that thought was so stupid and silly it almost made Sakura laugh.
she let out a broken moan, her hips bucking up, riding Naruto's fingers deeper, to his annoyance. He pinned her down with his forearm, fingers easily finding the spot that would utterly break Sakura, his mouth steady and measured as ever, somehow sucking without any indication of fatigue, putting her toys to shame.
"You're gonna make me squirt, asshole, I don't want to have to wash my sheets!"
He looked up at her, his mouth of her clit for a split second. "I'll fuckin' wash them, shit, focus on comin'!"
"You'd better," she hissed, breathing through her nose as the pleasure in her body was building to a crescendo again. It was like a pressure pressing down on her abdomen, Naruto's thirsty suckles on her clit and his skillful fingers tugging on her g-spot. "Fuck you, f-fuck you, god damn j-jerk — oooh, fuck!"
Her mind blanked out, stars bursting right after as she came as hard as she ever had in her life, knowing the relief from her cunt was due to her squirting all over Naruto's face, and ruining her bedsheets.
"Asshole," she muttered with a lack of heat, her body flat on the mattress, staring at her ceiling as she floated back into her body from the gates of heaven.
Naruto snickered from between her thighs and she felt him move off the bed, rummaging around.
"H-hey, don't you want to fuck? I know I called you over for some stress relief but I'm not that self — oh my god what are you doing?!"
"Huh?" Naruto turned to face her, having just finished wiping her cum and squirt off his face with his t-shirt. "Cleanin' up."
Sakura stared at him with her mouth agape. He tossed his shirt back on top of his hoodie then pulled his pants off the ground, fishing out a condom from the back pocket.
"Are you crazy, Naruto! I could have gotten you a towel! Why would you wipe your face on your t-shirt?!"
"Oh…" Naruto looked at his shirt then shrugged. "It's too late now and I don't care anyway. I don't mind the way you smell, y'know?"
"I mind!" Sakura hissed, her face hot and Naruto laughed, crawling back on the bed toward her. "Why the hell do I even put up with you?"
"Prolly 'cause of this." He ripped the condom wrapper open with his teeth, something that was unnecessarily hot, and then wrapped it on his huge cock, hands gripping the base to make it clear what he meant.
And Sakura pouted, because it was true.
"Do you need a break?" Naruto asked, cupping her face and kissing the pout off with sweet dips of his tongue into her mouth. She could taste herself on him, almost like she'd marked him and a weird primal sort of possessiveness made her clit throb.
"No…" Sakura cringed at how dreamy her voice sounded but Naruto smiled warmly at her. He gave her one more gentle kiss before he told her to spread her legs for him.
Naruto lined himself against her cunt, the view of his cock, something that seemed like it should never fit inside of her, made her breath catch at the back of her throat.
"Every time you're about to fuck me, it makes me feel like a porn star…"
Naruto blinked up at her, surprised, and she felt new heat flush her cheeks as she avoided his eyes.
"What?"
"B-because, well, you know…you're so big…"
Naruto laughed, loud, from his belly, his hand rubbing over her hip and Sakura scowled at him, her arms crossing over her chest.
"It's really not that funny, Naruto."
He waved his hand, his laugh settling down, the edge of his palm wiping away tears. "Hey, Sakura-chan, you're not fakin' it like in a porno then, are you?"
"Who knows," she sneered. "Maybe I am. You're all cock and no finesse after all."
"Oooh, that sounds like a challenge."
A shot of lust flashed through her nerves at the smirk Naruto gave her, running a hand through his sweaty hair and pushing it back. The skin of his cheeks still glistening with some remnants of her cum, blue eyes flashing in a taunt.
Naruto had no idea how to be sexy, but when he was, it was effortless, her body already reacting to the slight nudge of his tip against her entrance.
And she knew she'd lose their so-called challenge in short order.
"Bring it on," she murmured instead, reaching for Naruto and pulling him down on top of her as he stretched her out with the thick girth of his cock.
Sakura moaned, her eyes fluttering before settling on Naruto's face, his cheeks flushed such a pretty pink she wanted suck the colour off with her lips.
"C'mon, you can do better than that, Sakura-chan. Maybe you really were fakin' it," he taunted with a lopsided grin, his hips rolling slowly, feeding her the length of his cock.
Just when she was charmed by him, he had to go ahead and be a jerk.
"Because I am faking it, dickhead."
Naruto laughed again, cheer and warmth like the sun, before he leaned down and kissed her, fucking her with slow and through strokes of his cock. Sakura reached for his face, keeping him tight against her, his body weight pressing down on her as he fucked her, made her feel delirious, and she moaned into her kisses.
"Sakura…fuck, you feel so good, so perfect…" he was mumbling between kisses as he fucked her, his pelvis smacking against her own, brushing on her clit when her grinded his tip deep against her. Each stroke against the back of her walls was like a hand reaching down into the bucket of her arousal, scooping it and spraying it across her thighs, cunt and clit. The way he babbled praise so sweet it turned her brain into cotton candy, Sakura doing her best to fight back with mean kisses. Teeth on his lips and her hands going into his hair to tug and pull, and that only made him more eager.
"N-Naruto fuck, I-oh, I love your cock," she finally whined, her hips rocking and meeting his thrusts. Each time his cock kissed her deep, his weight pressed her down on the mattress, the frame creaking with the give.
"Yeah? You love the way I make you feel, don'tcha?" A dark, delicious rasp and the taste of his tongue seeking her mouth, swiping against her.
Gone were the playful teasing and left behind was something so needy and honest.
"Yes, so good, fuck, this coooock."
He pounded her faster, that big cock with no finesse like she talked about, but Sakura loved it. Almost greedy with the way he pushed in and out, his fat tip clipping against her g-spot then rushing to stretch her out once more. Thick and heavy as he pushed through wet cunt, making absurdly perverted sounds, the type that would put a porno to shame, so wet she'd have to wash her sheets even if never squirted.
"This cock is all yours, Sakura-chan, all for you. Fuck, you, ngh, the way you clench around me — nothin' fuckin' like it. Tell me, tell me you're close, please, wanna make you come again, fuck, please, Sakura-chan."
"I-I am, oh, Naruto, oh fuck me, fuck me hard!"
He knew her body the best, better than herself now, changing the angle, his hand resting on her mound as he fucked her into her mattress. His thumb brushing over her clit in a steady pattern, her hips rising up to have it dig deeper against her.
"Oh, oh my god, Naruto," she gasped, her eyes rolling back as her body crested, her walls clenching down on Naruto's cock with purpose. He barely lasted a few more grunt-filled thrusts, his face tucked against her shoulder, chanting her name as he came too.
His body laid on top of her, like a weighted blanket, and it — everything just felt amazing, her body and brain buzzing with euphoria.
Sakura ran her hands over the muscles of Naruto's back, tracing across the bends and dips, sweat sticking to her fingertips. Naruto sighed and then kissed her shoulder before he pulled his cock out of her and rolled over.
"Well, if you were fakin' that, Sakura-chan, they gotta give you all the Oscars."
"Shut up," she laughed, watching as Naruto rolled off the bed, tying his condom and she whistled at the amount of cum it was filled with. "Damn, if you came inside me, with that amount, I think I'd get pregnant even on a safe day."
Naruto looked back at her in shock after he threw away the condom in her wastebasket. "Are you stupid, Sakura-chan? Is that what they teach you in pre-med?"
She chucked her throw pillow at Naruto and he yelped as it hit him directly in his face.
"Stupidity is your major, Naruto," she harrumphed as he rubbed his nose.
"Yeah, yeah." He started collecting his clothes off the ground. "Where's your washer?"
"For your shirt?"
"For your bedsheets!" Naruto laughed, shaking his head at her as he put on his pants, and he was about to put his soiled shirt on too (to Sakura's disbelief) when she stopped him.
"No fucking way, give me that shirt!" Sakura leaped off the bed and tugged it from his grasp, Naruto giving her an amused smile as she tossed it on top of her bed. "I'll wash my stuff, don't worry about it, and this shirt since I don't trust you."
"Wow you must think I'm some real pervert, sheesh."
"Yes," Sakura said, her hands on her hips. Naruto's eyes trailed over her body, not innocently, before they snapped up back to her eyes, his expression sheepish. "Case in point."
"I can't help it if you're trouncin' around buck naked, Sakura-chan."
She rolled her eyes and picked her clothes off the ground too, putting them on as Naruto put on his hoodie.
"Were you gonna study after this?"
She hummed as she tied her hair into a ponytail, Naruto, for some reason, watching intently as she did so. When she quirked her brow at him he looked away with a light flush on his face, finger scratching his cheek.
"I kinda feel bad now, leavin' you to do some chores when you are gonna study."
Sakura waved her hand. "Relax it's not big deal I —"
She was cut off by a big growl, her face flushing as Naruto gave her a big grin. "Hehe, made you work up an appetite, huh?"
"Naruto…"
He put his hands up as a sign of peace, fear clear in his eyes. "J-just a lil joke, Sakura-chan…but hey, your favourite Chinese restaurant is a couple blocks from here, right?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Sweet and sour pork and special fried rice?"
She blinked at him, surprised. "How do you know my order?"
"Remember we all went there one time for Chouji's birthday?"
She did recall that, because she also remembered that Sasuke was sitting at the opposite end of the table as her, and Naruto sat next to Sasuke. So she was still surprised that he knew which one of the many plates brought to the table to share was her order.
"Anyway, why don't you freshen up and I'll be right back?"
"Oh wait a second, let me give you some money."
Naruto waved her off. "Nah! Don't worry 'bout it, my treat!"
Before she could argue Naruto was out of her dorm.
"Well…" Sakura looked at her ruined bedsheets, the stains on them big and obvious and she flushed from both embarrassment and a flash of arousal. "He's really unbelievable, jeez."
She put her bedsheets and Naruto's shirt in the washing machine, starting it before she took a quick shower. She toweled off, hesitating a moment before putting on her favourite boy shorts and tank top…deciding to wear an open zipped hoodie as well.
"Hey!" Naruto called as he knocked on the door and she opened it for him. His eyes immediately dropped down to her exposed thighs and legs, like he hadn't just seen her naked and fucked her stupid. "Uh, here's your food."
"Thanks." She took it from him and was surprised when he started to wave. "Oh, you're busy?"
"No," Naruto said, hesitation in his voice. "You have to study, so I didn't want to bother you…"
"Oh my god." Sakura rolled her eyes and dragged him back into her dorm, pulling him into the kitchen. "Honestly, what do you think of me? As if I'd let you buy food for me and then tell you to get lost like a gopher."
She opened the bag, taking out the food and setting it on the counter, tapping the bar stool next to the one she was sitting on. Naruto joined her as she finished mixing the sweet and sour chicken with the special fried rice, handing him a fork and they both ate directly from the box.
"Oh my god, thank you Naruto, this is sooo good."
Naruto stared at her and she finished chewing her food before she spoke. "What?"
"Maybe you really were fakin' it before, damn…"
She slapped his arm furiously. "You are so dumb!"
"My bad, my bad!" Naruto laughed, holding his arms up in peace and she finally relented with a harrumph.
"You're lucky you bought me this, or I'd kick you out for being such a pervert." She jabbed her fork in his direction and he scratched his cheek with a nervous chuckle. "Now eat."
They talked casually between bites of Chinese food, discussing a tv show they were both watching and Naruto rambling a bit about professional basketball.
"So, studyin' goin' well?"
Sakura shrugged as she poured some water for him, Naruto taking a long pull that made his Adam's apple bob.
Her eyes flicked back to his face. "It's okay, a lot to memorize."
"Pre-med sounds brutal."
"Not all of us can coast by on media studies."
"Hey, that shit is hard too! Just, y'know, not as hard I guess."
"I'm teasing. I know it must be difficult to do a full course load and be a student athlete." She smiled at him and he flushed, eyes darting away.
"Oh it's not that crazy. You're way more impressive." Naruto cleared his throat. "Um, your exams, they finish on the twelfth, right?"
"Yeah, Thursday. Why?"
"Yukie Fujikaze's new movie is coming out that weekend. I love her so I'm gonna go…and since you'll be done with your exams, uh, as a, y'know, treat or somethin'…do you want to go? With me?"
Sakura realized a while back that Naruto had a little bit of a crush on her. She thought maybe it was because they had sex so often, because she also felt some fondness for him — though it wasn't the same thing as what she felt for Sasuke. A part of her thought she shouldn't encourage it because it would give him the wrong idea, and part of her though they were fucking so what did a movie date matter?
The second side won, because it made a lot more sense.
"Okay, that sounds fun. It'll be good to unwind after exams. Thanks for the invitation."
"Great, I'll buy the tickets —"
"No, no, let me buy them, you bought me food today. I can buy the tickets."
"Nah, we shared, that doesn't even count! Oh, I'll buy the tickets and you can buy the popcorn, how 'bout that?"
She squinted her eyes at him, finally humming in agreement. "Fine, but I'm buying you a large one."
They finished the food, Sakura walking Naruto to the door.
"Send me a text if you need anythin', Sakura-chan. Otherwise, good luck with your studies, 'nd I'll see you on Saturday!"
"Sure thing." Sakura smiled at him, reaching on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek. "It's a date."
Sakura expected him to cheer or whoop when she declared it as a date, but instead his face darkened a gorgeous wine red, his hand coming half way up like he meant to cup his cheek where she kissed him before he dropped it. "O-oh a date, yeah, perfect. I-I'll see you then!"
He leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek so fast she barely felt the brush of lips before he sped out the door.
"What the hell was that?" Sakura thought, catching her own face with a strange flush as she made her way back to her desk to study. She spent about five minutes with her eyes absorbing no knowledge before she sighed and closed her laptop, unable to focus.
She brushed her hand over her chest, feeling her heart beating a staccato against her ribcage.
"Must be exam anxiety."
She meditated to calm herself before getting back to work.
