I rolled my eyes and went to the kitchen to get us some drinks. When I came back, he was holding my blue leather photo album. It was a graduation gift from his mom. He’s also got one in orange.
“Sorry, I-I saw this and I couldn’t help take it. Can I?”
I looked at him uneasily before I nodded. Naruto plopped down on my black couch while I sat on the adjacent love seat. Carefully, he flipped through the collection of me, him, and Sakura, smiling at the captured images. Naruto did know Sakura. In fact, the three of us knew each other since we were five and have been best friends since.
“Hey, Sasuke remember this?” He pointed at a picture of the three of us. Sakura was in the middle, behind a birthday cake for her eighth birthday. Apparently, our moms thought it was cute and had me and Naruto kiss either side of her cheeks. “And in the end, we got cake on our faces,” he laughed. He looked through more pages, passing through me part of the track team, Naruto holding up a lacrosse trophy and other pictures of our friend.
“Don’t worry, Princess Sakura. Your knights in shining armor are coming to save you!” Naruto laughed, quoting a picture of us playing Knights in a sandbox. He punched the air, pretending to hold a sword like how he was in the picture.
He kept turning the pages, laughing at some, frowning, and almost crying on others. I was about to take the album away from him on those, but he perked back so quickly.
I took a sip out of my bottle, making small talk with him. I learned that he met this girl named Hinata Hyuuga and now they were engaged and would get married when he went back. That’s good. Before, Naruto had a crush on Sakura ― much to my discontent later on. After Sakura disappeared, he was devastated. That’s why I was uneasy about letting him look through the album. Seeing this happy-go-lucky guy cry was just as bad as her disappearing.
Yeah, I know, it lacked our fav pairing. But this was the only scene that didn't reveal too much and was long enough. So, when I get everything back from my beta, I'll have the rest of 2 up on my ff.net page!
