Sakura raced out of her room and made her way to the door of her apartment. The consistent ringing of the doorbell for the past 15 seconds was loud enough to wake up her two roommates, Ino and Hinata, who were both fast asleep in their own rooms. Granted it was 3am— any reasonable person would be asleep at this hour.
“Shit, shit, shit,” she whispered under her breath, conscious of the fact that her roommates could wake up at any moment and be caught in the same fright as her.
She looked through the door’s peephole and saw the familiar figure standing outside, swaying back and forth with his head bowed. But he was far too recognizable for Sakura to mistake him for anyone else.
Her eyes widened with worry as she unlocked and opened the door.
“Oh my god are you—“ Sakura’s concern halted as she noticed his inability to remain still, the red glow beaming from his face, and the grin he couldn’t hold down, “Are you drunk?” She spoke louder than intended as her brows furrowed and the look of concern disappeared from her face. Now replaced with utter bewilderment.
Sasuke, slurring his speech, raised his hand adjacent to his face and twirled his wrist, “Soooo what if I —happened to be?” Clearly drunk.
“Were you crying?” She squinted trying to get a better look at his face.
He wiped his face with his hands, “Noooo, not me” Clearly lying. But Sakura was too confused with the situation at hand to press further at this moment.
Sakura peeked her head out the door and tried to check if he was alone or how he exactly got here. Not seeing any car driving away, she deduced that he didn’t ride-share here, “Did you walk here? In the middle of the night? Sasuke that’s so dangerous—“
Sasuke threw his hands up into the air, “Psssh! What do you take me for? Some idiot? Of course I didn’t walk!”
“Oh thank god,” Sakura put her hand to her chest as she sighed with relief.
Sasuke dropped his arms down, hitting his thighs with a loud slap, “I drove here,” He pointed to the ground.
“Oh my god,” Sakura took a hold of his wrist and dragged him inside. Once they made it to the couch she sat him down. She walked over to the kitchen to grab him water to sober him up. It was clear he was well past the stage of being tipsy and was proper drunk. “Why are you here anyways?” Sakura asked genuinely as she handed him the water.
Sasuke moved the water being offered to him and pointed at Sakura, accusatorially, and said, “I only came here cause you don’t love me!” He looked at her with wide eyes.
Sakura’s eyes widened as she put down the glass of water on the coffee table and covered Sasuke’s mouth, “Shhh! Are you crazy? My roommates are asleep,” Trying to maintain a low level, but angered, whisper, “Will you be quiet now?” Sasuke nodded rapidly as Sakura moved her hand away from his face.
“You don’t cherish me,” He spoke as he tapped her nose, “So ta-da, I’m here,” he spoke as he did jazz hands next to his face.
“What?” Utter confusion could be detected from her tone and facial expressions.
“I—well, I just needed to know. Can you blame a guy for wanting to know?” He shrugged with exaggeration flowing through his body language.
Entertaining his drunkened state, Sakura inquired further, “And how did you get to this conclusion?”
“I went to a trusted website and through the help of an algorithm, it calculated all of the data from our—“ He gestured between the two of them, “Whatever we have, and it gave me a percentage: 42%… Meaning, you don’t love me,” He whispered the last statement with narrowed eyes and a finger pointing to Sakura as if she had committed the crime of the millennia.
“And what was this so great, mankind changing, earth shattering website and algorithm called?” Sakura spoke, knowing that what Sasuke was spouting was bullshit.
Sasuke dropped his hand and his accusatory face. He shut his eyes tight and put his hands out, “Buzzfeed quizzes, but that’s besides the point—
Sakura raised her brows “Uh huh,”
“It said 42%! That’s even less than half!” He raised his voice again as Sakura covered it immediately. Shushing him in the process.
She whispered at an even lower level, “And do you think that’s accurate?” Clearly trying to point out, even to a very drunk Sasuke, just how absurd he was.
Sasuke removed Sakura’s hand from his mouth, “You tell me woman,” He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out his phone. Revealing to Sakura a screenshot with the results. She made sure to notice the time it was taken. He took the quiz a mere ten minutes before arriving here.
“Oh my god, really?” She asked him, disbelief laced in her words
“Don’t you ‘oh my god’ me,” He spoke mocking her voice.
“Well how can I not when you’re acting this ridiculous,” Her own voice being louder and intended.
Sasuke put his finger against Sakura’s lips, “Shhh, your roommates are asleep,” His voice, far from a whisper as well.
Sakura backed her head away from his touch, “Why did you come here anyways?”
Sasuke leaned back against the couch and pouted, “I don’t like that it’s 42%” He crossed his arms as he let out a huff of air.
Sighed as she handed him the glass of water, “Sasuke, it’s just a stupid quiz, it means nothing,”
“Fine then you take a quiz that proves how much you’re in love with me!” His eyes locked with hers, a playful glint not hiding carefully within his eyes.
Tired from his constant loud outbursts, Sakura took Sasuke’s hand and took him to her room, explaining to him on the way how he is too loud and the room will be the only shot she has at not waking up her roommates.
She sat Sasuke down at the edge of her bed, as he subsequently fell back and laid down, making himself comfortable. She opened up her laptop as she took a seat next to him on the bed, “I will take the damn quiz if it means that you will give this up. And once we see how stupid it is, I will call you an Uber and you will go home. Deal?”
“Whatever you say…pretty lady,” He looked up at her with admiration in his eyes. Sakura just rolled her eyes and went on to look up a Buzzfeed quiz.
He shot straight up and ruffled around to see how Sakura answered. Sakura moved the screen out of his sight as he pouted.
A few minutes passed by as Sakura clicked the last answer to the quiz, “Just finished it,” She said as the screen was loading the results.
“What did it say?” Sasuke asked with a grin
Sakura shrugged as she looked at the score, “Same as yours. Apparently I do love you 42%”
Sasuke grin widened, “Bullshit,” he called, “You turn pink when you lie, and right down your hair and face are the same color. What did you get?”
Sakura closed her laptop on her lap, “I’m just embarrassed cause this is ridiculous and— Hey!” She yelped out as Sasuke managed to snatch the laptop away from her.
The same second he opened it, Sakura was able to reach over to shut it again. But it was too late.
Sasuke grinned as his smile overtook his entire face, “89% huh?”
“Oh shut up,” Sakura stood up and yanked the laptop from Sasuke’s lap
Sasuke stood up and began to taunt her, “Ooh you looooove me,” He said as drew a heart in the air with his index fingers.
Sakura scoffed, “Ugh, no I don’t,”
Sasuke took ahold of her hands, “No no you looooove me,”
Sakura instantly retracted her hands, “It’s a meaningless quiz and you—“
“Cmon Haruno. You know you love me,” He taunted her further.
“Oh, shut up,” She crossed her arms and the pink blush across her face began to intensify further, “I’m so tempted to give you one more shot so you blackout and I don’t have to deal with you anymore,”
“Doesn’t hide the fact that you loooooove me,”
“I regret answering the door now,” She shook her head as she looked away from him.
“But you’d do it again,” He paused with a smirk.
Sakura smiled as she scoffed and looked down to the ground, slowly nodding, “Yeah…I’d do it again,”
