"I think you're gay, man."
Sakura stopped her pacing and turned around to glare at the blond currently sprawled on her bed.
"I think you're gay." She said with as much disdain as she could muster.
Naruto turned so he was on his back, his head hanging off the edge of the bed, a pensive expression on his face.
"Maybe. You're gayer though."
"I am not!"
"This is your third Ino rant this week. It's tuesday, Sakura."
She scowled, grabbing one of the pillows than innevitably fell down when he colapsed into the bed earlier and hitting him with it until she had room to sit.
"Fuck. Off. How many times did i sit there and let you rant about Sasuke at me?!"
"Ow." He exageratedly rubbed at his torso. "That doesn't count. You love talking about Sasuke." He muttered, pouting.
"You think Ino's hot too."
"Dude! We could be like, siblings or something!"
"Fine! How many times have you ranted at me about Hinata then!"
He turned red, avoiding the topic quickly.
"Why are we even talking about this!"
"Because you won't stop calling me gay!"
"I'm not calling you anything! I'm telling you, you are gay!
"UGH!" She got up again, resuming her pacing.
"It's not bad or anything, i don't know why you're so worried about it."
She bit her lip and kept walking back and forth.
"And for the record, she's gay as hell too." He said, bringing his knees to his chin, satified with her pinkening cheeks.
"Shut it, jerk." She called with no real animosity behind it. "I-I can't be gay, I'm in love with Sasuke."
"In love is like, a crazy exageration, and everyone's attracted to Sasuke. I'm attracted to Sasuke, and i'm definitely straight."
"Uhuh." She looked at him dubiously, which okay, that's just rude now.
"At least I can admit i'm attracted to him, you're in denial all the way dude."
"...fine. She's attractive."
"Nuh uh. You. are attracted to her." He got up and grabbed her by the shoulders, looking her in the eyes.
She pressed her lips together, honest to god tearing up, and he might've let up if it was about anything else, if he didn't know what it was like. But he did know. Some wounds had to be opened to be healed.
She nodded her head weakly. "Yeah. I'm- I'm pretty attracted to her."
He beamed at her, dragging her into a hug as she chuckled tearily.
"Wasn't that hard was it?"
"Mhm, no." She put her hands around his waist to push away from the embrace, and pinched his cheek teasingly. "You ought to try it sometime."
"Jerk."
She laughed, drying her eyes with her sleeve.
"It's not like i'm happy about it, y'know. I've been in love with you like, our whole lives." He pouted again, surprisingly earnest, but she just laughed again.
"In love is like, a crazy exageration." She tossed back at him.
"It's not! I mean it!"
She looked up pensively. Her cheeks reddened suddenly, as she asked. "How- how do you feel, imagining me and Ino together."
He took a second to think about it, scratching his chin before answering. "I don't know, it's kind of hot."
He braced himself for the hit he knew would come, it was kind of deserved, to be fair, but she was the one who asked!
She sighed, dropping her fist from where it crashed into his shoulder.
"Perv. Now imagine Sasuke with I-" She scowled at the mental image. "-with someone else."
"Okay yeah, that's pretty gross."
"Why?"
"I don't know."
"Why."
He sat back down on the bed, more exasperated than defeated.
"You know why."
"You made me say it though."
"I'm attracted to Sasuke. Big deal. Whatever."
"Oh, stop pouting you big baby." She teased, dropping on the bed next to him and leaning into his side. "Thank you. I'm glad I have you to rant at."
"I know, I'm awesome." He aimed a small grin her way.
"Don't say it like you're joking, you are pretty awesome." She smiled, jabbing her hand into his side before wraping her arm around his waist and hauling him off the bed."Now out. I got a date to plan."
"Already?! But-"
She grabbed his shoes in passing and pushed him out the door.
"Ino and him are hanging out tonight, so when she comes over he'll be free!" She slammed the door in his face. "Good luck! Nice talk!"
"...not cool dude"
