"Liar! He's not good.. to me. He's the one that broke my heart.." Naruto whimpered after falling back onto the pavement right outside of the bar when Sakura failed to pull him up.

I frowned in anguish, looking at him on the ground.
He was shivering with tears beginning to escape his beautiful blue eyes.

Sakura continued trying to yank him off the ground, but her hands and feet were too unsteadily. I told her to wait for us in my car, passing her my digital car key. I scooped the crying baby off the ground and started walking to the parking lot.
"He.. he was my first love.. and h-he left me without a warning.. without an explanation. He j-just.. disappeared one day." He mumbled in my arms, his eyes now squeezed tightly closed that a frown was forming on his face with tears  rolling down his cheeks uncontrollably.

"Sakura.. Tell..me. D-did I do something wrong?" He hiccuped, between words and his cries.
Reaching my car, I could see Sakura through my heavily tinted windows that she was fast asleep in the backseat with her head resting against the window.
"No, you didn't do anything wrong." I answered him as I placed him in the passenger seat, buckling his seatbelt.

I wanted to withdraw myself after fastening his seatbelt, but the intoxicated boy tugged my sleeve firmly. His sudden pull of energy almost caused me to fall right on him. I instinctively propped one of my hand against the head rest so that I wouldn't land on him. His face was inches apart from mine, our noses almost touching. His sapphire eyes looked up into mine, locking me in. "Then.. tell me.. Why-Why he did leave me?" We were so close, I could feel the warmth of his breath when he spoke.

I was so mesmerised by his beauty, and being so close to him.. I almost couldn't control myself. 

"Because.. he was an idiot." I whispered to him, involuntarily leaning in closer to him. My lips parted slightly, preparing for the soft touch of his.

I stopped myself abruptly, realising what I was doing. His eyes was already closed, and tears seem to be drying up now. I moved away from him, rubbing my thumb against his cheek to wipe away the remaining tears before closing the door lightly.

Both of them were now fast asleep.

I parked the car in the parking lot at the basement of their apartment building and looked at the both of them who were both still in deep slumber.
There was no way I could carry the both of them at the same time.
I decided to carry Naruto up first then I'll come back down for Sakura.

I searched for his keys to his apartment before lifting my baby out of his seat. I shut the car door with my leg and made my way into the lift. With just having a minute passed before we reached the designated floor, it seemed like eternity. I would choose for time to stand still and have him in my arms forever if I could.

My lips cracked a smile as I tucked him into bed. My hand ran through his soft blonde hair before forcing myself to leave his side.

I returned to my car, retrieving Sakura.
Unlike Naruto, she was a light sleeper and awoken as soon as I took her in my arms. "What..What are you doing? Put-put me down!" She exclaimed, shocked. Her face went more red than it already was.

I placed her on her feet, "Are you sure you can you walk?"
She nodded, storming off leaving me behind.

I locked my car, and headed to the lift where
she waited for me, her eyes unable to look at me. Her trembling hands pressing onto the button to keep the doors open for me. I entered the lift, "You alright?"

"Y-Yes." She mumbled, looking away as if not wanting me to look at her.

"Where's.. Naruto?" Her voice sounded jittery.
"In bed." I answered, indifferently.

She dashed out of the elevator as soon as the doors open and went into her room, slamming the door behind her.

I arched my eyebrows, confused.
Did I scare her off?

I shrugged and entered Naruto's room to check on him.
I stood beside his bed, looking down at him.
He still looked as beautiful as I remembered 3 years ago.
My hand uncontrollably reached for his soft blonde hair again. The longer I looked at him, the more I could feel myself craving for him. And with every second, the desire for him grew stronger.

I knew I shouldn't be doing this. But I have been holding myself back since the incident in the car, I couldn't resist it any longer.

I give up.

I planted my lips against his. It started off slow before becoming more and more passionate. Shortly after, I realised Naruto was responding to my kisses. I placed my hand against his pillow to support my body as I continued to slowly lean in even more.

I slid my tongue past his warm lips and he allowed me to. I could feel his heavy breaths in between our heated kisses. His soft moans continued to draw me in, with his hand on my back pulling me closer. Eventually, I crawled into his bed and placed myself above him.

It felt like déjà vu.
This happened only two weeks ago.
But at that time, I didn't know he was drinking his heart out because of someone else.

Did he regret that night?

I regained control of myself and pulled myself away. Parting my lips from his, to look him in his eyes. It was teary.

This time, I am fully aware that he's getting over someone else.
This time, I am fully aware that he will regret it.

As much as I wanted to sleep with him, I didn't want to if he was doing it to feel better.

"..Sorry to wake you." I muttered.
"You're a liar, you're not sorry.. You'll leave me again when you're tired of me like how Sai did!" The smaller boy under me pushed me off forcefully and I fell off the bed, landing loudly onto the ground.

"Naruto! Are you ok-" Sakura swung open the door upon hearing the noise.
Her eyes landed down at me and then back up at Naruto who looked angry and sorrowful on the bed.

She helped me off the ground, "Naruto.. How could you do this? He was helping us after all.."

"I never said I needed his help!" He was yelling, just like a child throwing a tantrum.

I shook my head at his best friend, rising to my feet again. "Let him be. He's drunk and emotional."
My attention turned back towards Naruto, hearing him trying to throw up and I rushed over to get him seated upright so he doesn't choke on his own vomit.

And he ended up puking all over me.

Sakura rushed to get towels for me and Naruto. She handed me the first towel which I immediately used to clean the tiny splatters of vomit on his shirt and around his mouth.

I was about to unbutton his shirt when Sakura stopped me, "I'll do it, you're his ex after all. Naruto will hate me if he knew you changed for him." I halted, hesitating before eventually nodding, agreeing with her.

I proceeded to the bathroom that was directly opposite Naruto's room to wash up.
As I stepped out of the shower, I realised I wasn't able to wear the shirt I had on previously. It reeked of puke and was badly stained. I sighed, putting on my tapered pants and exited the bathroom with the soiled shirt in my hand.

Just then, Sakura was also leaving the bedroom with Naruto's dirty clothes in her hand. She bumped into me, "Sor- Wha-Why are you topless?!" Her face turned red as she looked away from me quickly.
"I'll get you a T shirt from Naruto's wardrobe." She turned around but before she could re-enter Naruto's bedroom, I grabbed onto her arm lightly.
"Don't bother. I won't be able to fit into his small sized shirts."

She turned back towards me, awkwardly not knowing where she should look.
I stretched out my hand towards her, signalling her to hand over Naruto's tee shirt.
"I'll have them cleaned by tomorrow."

"No, you helped us enough-"
I waved the dirty laundry in my hand, telling her it was alright since I had my own shirt to dry clean as well.

She gave in, handing me Naruto's shirt over.
"I'll stop by tomorrow morning before work. What do you want for breakfast?" I asked, searching for my car keys in my pocket with my free hand.

For a moment, she froze, looking at me wide eyed before a soft smile appeared on her lips.
"Anything is fine. Thank you for everything, Sasuke."

...

"I bet Naruto would thank you too."
