"So, what do you think?" Naruto had a hand on his shoulder. It made Sasuke feel younger, instead of the opposite. It was irritating.
"About what?" Sasuke jerked his shoulder to remove the annoyance, but only the hand left.
"About this!" Naruto huffed, making a gesture towards the table in front of Sasuke.
"What about it?"
"Gah, you're such an asshole. ...Sakura-chan?"
Sasuke heard the sniffle, too. He frowned.
Not this again. Naruto was such a moron, really.
"Am I going to do this or what?" Sasuke interrupted before things got further derailed from this living nightmare. He knew which living nightmare would be worse.
"Of course. You won't get away that easily." Sakura's voice was slightly strained, yet it held some warmth, too. It was irritating, but not something he could remove.
Naruto lingered in his concern over Sakura's loss of composure, but his attention inevitably shifted back to Sasuke.
"Happy birthday, Bastard." Naruto's voice was at his ear, soft and warm. Sakura was at his other side.
Sasuke blew out candles he could not see.
