Sakura was a meticulous woman. She was always on time, her work was pristine, she never made mistakes. So why was she currently hiding in a small maintenance closet with Konoha’s most annoying man.
She just needed to get a couple documents from the archive and leave, that is all. However, there was one problem that she didn’t quite plan for, apparently Naruto was doing some snooping around as well. When she was quietly collecting some documents, the blond suddenly popped up behind her and scared her enough for her to yelp. Five seconds later, they both heard footsteps approaching, and that’s how they ended up in this situation.
She was so angry, and she knew he knew “What is wrong with you?”, his eyes widened in disbelief “Me? What is wrong with you? What is “Konoha’s angel” doing snooping around the archives at 3 am.”. She crossed her arms in front of her, clearly annoyed, “That is none of your business and we both almost got caught because of your fault” she felt her voice rise a little, “I’m not the one that got scared and yelled out”. She rolled her eyes, god he was so insufferable, “Well you scared me” she hissed. “Not my fault a Jonin level ninja couldn’t detect someone right behind her”. He was towering over her, the lights were off but the flashlights of the guards would sporadically shine into the room making his blue eyes glow
Sakura tried to form the words, and she failed, opening and closing her mouth like a dumbass, nothing she could say would work in her favor because he actually had a very good point. Sure she left her guard down, but hey she had planned it all out, there was no reason for anyone else to be in there. She just sighed and rolled her eyes “Fuck you”. A smirk flashed across Naruto’s face and dammit she knew what was coming, hell she set herself up “Oh you wish you could Sakura-chan”. He only used that nickname when he wanted to get on her nerves it always made her think of their genin days and his loud mouth.
“Naruto can you behave for once in yo-” suddenly a large hand was over her mouth and her eyes widened, how dare he shut her up. Her right hand moved up to grab his wrist and pull his hand away, but before her hand could reach he whispered “Shut up, someone’s near”. Her hand stayed put holding his wrist and fuck he was right, she could hear footsteps, they both tensed, any move would definitely give them away.
She had nothing to do but look at his face, sure Naruto was annoying, stuck-up, loud, immature, and many things, but one she would never call him is ugly. Everyone would know it would be a lie. As her eyes traced the contours of his face, she couldn’t help but wonder if he was a good kisser. Her eyes lingered on his lips, and she felt her cheeks warm up, how could she even think of such things about him, god was she really that desperate that this is what her dirty thoughts had become.
Finally, she stopped staring at his lips only to set sight on a pair of sky blue eyes, he undoubtedly knew what she was staring at just seconds ago. Naruto’s hand finally dropped from her face once they heard the footsteps back away, both of them let out a breath they didn’t even realize they were holding. “Looks like we’re good now” he whispered, “Yeah” she said, barely audible. They both stared into each other's eyes, until Naruto leaned to whisper in Sakura’s ear “I am a good kisser if that’s what you were wondering, just ask around.” He smirked as he backed away and left her alone in the tiny room.
As soon as the door closed Sakura couldn’t help but frown, how dare he assume that’s what she was thinking, maybe he was right but still, he’s so arrogant, and self-centered, and cocky, and fine. Dammit! She ran her hands through her hair considering the awful realization that she just had, perhaps Naruto Uzumaki was exactly her type, at least physically. Something sounded in the distance, probably the unpredictable ninja leaving through a window, and she was reminded of her current position, she had to get out of here now.
Her mind racing with thoughts was going to drive her crazy, she slapped herself “Okay Sakura get it together”. She slowly opened the door and made her way out, copying Naruto and heading straight to the window of the archive room. Her thoughts could wait for another day.
