This sprang up out of nowhere and would not leave me alone until it was written down.

"Woo, that mission took longer than necessary." Shisui commented, putting his ANBU gear inside his locker.

"And whose fault do you think that is?" Itachi couldn't help but comment as he removed his arm guards.

Shisui turned to his cousin, "I didn't know there would be a bomb shooting us sky high from underneath us, geez." he defended himself indignantly.

"Hn, you were taking a leak when that happened. So that made things worse for us." Sasuke said, glaring at his cousin after he finished dressing himself in regular shinobi clothes.

"When you gotta go, you gotta go." Shisui said, still embarrassed by what occurred during their mission. His eyes caught a trail of blood running down Sasuke's arm, "Sasuke, you're injured." he said, pointing at the blood seeping through Sasuke's shirt at the shoulder.

Sasuke looked at his shoulder and merely brushed it off with his trademark 'Hn.'

Itachi turned to Sasuke and saw the blood, "Sasuke, you can't ignore something like that. You need to get it checked out before you go home." he ordered, acting as Sasuke's older brother and captain.

Sasuke turned his nose away, "I'll be fine, just give it a few days and it'll heal up." he said, refusing to follow Itachi's orders.

Shisui closed his locker and leaned against it, "Sasuke, this is the fourth time you've brushed off an injury like this." he said, crossing arms and watching his cousin's stoic expression before an idea came to mind, "Is it maybe because of a certain pink haired angel in a nurse's outfit that's got you all shy?" he said teasingly, getting the reaction he wanted when a blush sprouted on Sasuke's face.

Sasuke glared at the smirking Shisui, "I am not, it's just...these injuries are no big deal, okay?" he said, failing to come up with a better excuse.

"Sasuke, come on, you've been pining for her since you were genin. I mean, it's been obvious, and you still haven't moved past the whole 'just friends' phase." Shisui said, pointing out the crush Sasuke had on Sakura for years.

Sasuke blushed, knowing that his cousin was right as Itachi smirked in agreement. Sasuke looked to the side, "I don't wanna pressure her. The last thing I want is to rush her into it." he said, feeling like a coward as he thought of his life long crush.

"Seriously Sasuke, I've seen glaciers move faster than the speed you're going." Shisui said, stating the obvious as Sasuke glared at him before he continued, "Just ask her out, tell her how you feel. She's not gonna be single forever you know, so you can't let the opportunity pass when it's standing right in front of you." he said this so encouragingly, that even Itachi was impressed.

Itachi turned to Sasuke, "He's right little brother, besides, she's a very nice girl and the best part is that she puts up with you." he said smirking, making Shisui laugh and Sasuke glare at both of them.

"I'm not sure if Shisui's advice will work though, we've been friends for years, and to tell her how I feel will only ruin it." Sasuke said, having thought long and hard about the impact his feelings will have on her.

Shisui sighed, "Right, okay, we tried giving you advice, so it's time to bring out the big guns. If you don't ask her out, I will." he threatened, earning him the Uchiha Death Glare from Sasuke, "Don't you dare."

"Then suck it up and ask her out already." Shisui said, feeling a little impatient with the younger Uchiha who insists on being a coward.

Sasuke gritted his teeth to keep himself from yelling profanities at his cousin before he conceded, "Okay fine, I'll ask her out tonight after she heals me." he said as he took his bag and left the room.

It was silent for a good few seconds before Shisui turned to Itachi with a grin, "Told you it would work." Itachi chuckled under his breath before handing the amount of money owed to Shisui for losing a bet.
