High School reunions have always been a bother for him.

It's one afternoon in 365 days where he has to reschedule his entire agenda so he can make it to a weird and noisy reunion that happens for no particular reason. It's a day where he will meet old faces from people he was supposed to remember, and where the word 'nostalgia' will be said at least 10 times per minute. People will pretend like they actually miss each other and there's always that one person who says— but doesn't really mean— that they should all keep in touch.

How annoying, he thought, with his arms crossed over his chest. Annoying and utterly unnecessary.

With his characteristic, stoic expression spread all over his face, Uchiha Sasuke was standing on the furthest corner of that saloon, watching everything from afar and trying to figure out a way to make time pass by faster. He had tried paying attention to the conversations, giving up, eventually, after realizing everyone was talking about who married who, and what happened to that one kid no one truly remembers.

Unbelievable, he sighed, as his dark eyes drifted around, eventually spotting the one, familiar face, whose name could never be forgotten due to the unnecessary amount of time they meet every week.

Just to make matters worse.

Loud, blond and annoying, Uzumaki Naruto naturally blended in all the conversation circles, laughing and chatting with every single one of their ex-colleagues. As always, he was acting like his goofy-self and it was clear that he was the one cheering up the entire reunion, as a good clown should do. Through the years, his personality only grew friendlier, and for as annoying as it could be, it made him an accessible person for most of the people. He has this contagious aura that makes everyone want to at least talk to him, even if they weren't really aware of it.

He has always been good at making friends, Sasuke knew.

And he could have chosen any of those cheerful people around that saloon to be his best friend, yet, he decided to pick the grumpiest of them all.

What an idiot, for sure.

Unlike him, Naruto knew how to socialize and how to be a pleasant company around others. He looked everyone in the eye with those sapphire orbs of his, and it was clear that he wasn't simply pretending to enjoy doing all those things. He really was having a great time with all those old memories, and just like back in their school days, he was having fun with everyone else. Just like always, he was trying to be friends with everyone, something Sasuke was never capable of.

The Uchiha never wanted nor tried to be a nice person around his classmates, and yet, he ended up being the popular one. Girls wanted to be with him, guys wanted to be his friends, and all he has ever wanted was to be the best among them all. It has always been all about him, and apparently, people didn't seem to notice— or care about that. They even found that attractive, to be honest, not mattering how delusional that could sound.

He used to be an asshole during their school days, and things only changed when a certain pink—

" Oi, Sasuke!" Naruto screamed, approaching his best friend, who was abruptly brought back to reality. He might have been surprised by such loud words, yet he made sure to show no reaction. " Are you really just gonna stay here all the time? People will think you've become a weirdo."

" Tch, shut up, Dobe." He scoffed. " I don't know these people."

" Of course you do—ttebayo! They're our classmates and we haven't seen them in ages! Aren't you at least excited to know how everyone turned out?"

"No."

" Oh, come on, Teme! You can't tell me you're not even a bit curious about your friends."

" I know about y-"

" I don't count."

" I wasn't just talking about you."

" Neither do Ino nor Sakura-chan."

" Tch..." He pouted, giving up. "The rest doesn't really matter."

A defeated sigh escaped the blond's lips, and much for Sasuke's dismay, he leaned next to the Uchiha, their shoulders bumping. As Naruto could notice, his best friend was as grumpy as ever, and if he didn't do anything, the corner where they were currently standing would be warm by the end of the night. The Uzumaki had to do something to motivate the raven haired man, and even if he didn't like to use his ultimate trick, he knew better that it would be the only thing that would make Sasuke move.

He would certainly be pissed.

But at least he would talk to a few people.

And it would also be quite amusing, if the Uzuamki were to be honest.

With a smirk gracing his foxy lips, Naruto used his elbow to poke Sasuke's ribs. He earned a glare from the Uchiha due to the unnecessary amount of strength put on that move, but since he was more than used to that reaction from his best friend, the blond simply lifted the hand he was using to hold a glass of beer, motioning to the man in front of them. Unexpectedly, such gesture captured the raven haired man's attention, and he followed the direction pointed by the beer, regretting it as soon as his eyes landed on the person in front of them. " You remember Kiba, don't you?"

" Hn, Not much."

" Oh, I bet you do. Apart from me, of course, he was the only one in our class who ever fought you for Sakura-chan's attention and undying love."

"…" He stared at Kiba, bluntly, trying not to show off any reaction. " Doesn't ring a bell."

" Bullshit-ttebayo! I'm sure you remember the time you pushed him against the wall and-"

" What's your point, Dobe!?"

Listening to the sudden discomfort in the Uchiha's voice mixed with the deadly glare he was giving their old classmate made it clear to the Uzumaki that, not only his best friend remembered what had happened in their last year of High School, but also that he was still bothered by it. Naruto knew how to get on Sasuke's nerves, and if he was already bothered by that, then he had no idea of what was still to come.

" You see… I was passing by and I heard him saying he couldn't wait to see Sakura-chan again! Honestly, I think he still has a crush on her."

" Hn, This is ridiculous."

" Why? He's still single and she just got prettier with the years."

" It's been 10 years. He can't be that stupid."

" Wanna bet?"

" Do you mean you wanna lose?"

" Hehe If you say so…" There was a smirk around his lips, and Naruto could see how his friend was dying of jealousy inside. It was just a matter of time until the Uchiha completely succumbed to his words- which were mostly true- and when that happened, the fun would finally begin.

It was just a matter of time, Naruto knew.

He has always known.

For the following half hour, the Uzumaki continued to prepare the ground for Sasuke's eventual explosion. He spoke about all the guys who tried to get to the pinkette and also about the ones she even considered dating back then, not sparing him from any details. He even told him about the time he was drowning and was saved by her kiss of life, making sure to describe how soft and warm her lips felt against his.

Naruto was not going easy on him.

And to make matters worse, the main character of those stories had just showed up.

She arrived by the time Naruto was about to start his last story, capturing the attention of everyone around the saloon. Her hair was still as short and as pink as it used to be back in high school, and the emerald eyes of that girl were still as bright as ever. A light make up was spread over her face, and the delicate, pink dress she was wearing made her look even prettier, as it fell over her mature and feminine body.

Unlike in their school days, the pinkette's body was no longer something to be made fun of by the other girls, and just like always, her former male classmates couldn't take their eyes off of the only medic of their class. Sakura was a beautiful girl, and now she's a beautiful woman arriving late due to an emergency at the hospital where she works at. It was only natural that all the eyes were set on her.

But thanks to Naruto, the way that one, brown pair of orbs looked at her was annoying the hell out of the Uchiha.

It was impossible to tell if the scene happening in front of him was real or if his jealous mind was distorting it, but Sasuke could feel Kiba's intentions under his gaze. As the pinkette was innocently chatting with her long-seen friends, the veterinarian seemed to be eating her alive with his eyes. He was eyeing her from head to toe as he muttered something to that weirdo who was wearing sunglasses next to him, and as he brushed his chin with his thumb, Sasuke could only feel his anger growing.

Damn that stupid Naruto, he thought.

More than anyone else, the Uchiha should've known better that his blond best friend was only trying to mess with him, and that above all, he should keep control of his own emotions.

Sasuke knew he should've kept his cool.

But as soon as he saw Kiba approaching her with that doggy smirk of his, the raven haired man lost it.

It was just like back in High School.

Shouldn't he have given up already?

His feet had never walked faster than that time, as he left behind not only his sacred spot but also a dumbfounded Uzumaki. Dark eyes were holding a deadly glare, as his hands balled into fists at the sight of Kiba stopping next to her. Sasuke gritted his teeth, now stomping his way towards them.

Damn that bastard. Kiba waited for her friends to leave so he could try and make his move. In his misjudged perception, the pinkette was all alone and defenseless against his charm.

Barely he knew.

" I can't believe my eyes!" Kiba started, drawing the attention of her emerald eyes.

" Oh, hey, Kiba. Long time no see." She smiled, politely, causing his grin to grow bigger.

Poor veterinarian, she thought, as her eyes caught the sight of the raven haired man approaching them. That was certainly not Kiba's lucky day.

" Haruno Sak-"

" Uchiha Sakura." Sasuke's voice was strong and precise, as he pronounced the name of his wife with all its letters. His last name left his tongue like snake poison, leaving the vet completely stunned, much to the Uchiha's pleasure.

Apparently, Kiba didn't know he had married the girl during their college years.

Not that Sasuke had invited him for the ceremony.

" Oh, darling, you're already here."

" You're late." He said, stepping closer to her in somewhat of a territorial move. There was a smirk gracing her lips at that moment, as she was clearly aware of her husband's intentions.

Silly Uchiha, she thought.

But for the moment, Sakura decided to take advantage of his jealousy so she could escape Kiba's failed attempts to get her heart. He didn't stand a chance back in high school, and now things were no different.

" You know I had an emergency at the hospital."

" So what? I wanna go home."

" What!? But I've just got here! I wanna talk to everyone and see what's changed."

" Nothing changed. People are still the same."

" We've all changed, Shannarou."

" Hn, you're still annoying, Sakura."

"Tch, and you're still impossible, Sasuke."

An awkward silence suddenly enveloped the three of them after the couple's usual disagreement. Sasuke was still purposely ignoring the Inuzuka boy, who was answering the gesture with a glare, even if it was clear that he was still shocked by the revelation.

It didn't take long for the Uchiha to mirror the vet, and soon, they looked like two dogs showing their teeth. They were acting just like they did in high school, and if she didn't do anything, those two adults would soon start to fight in front of everyone.

Boys, she thought. They never change.

In a blink of an eye, the pinkette stepped in between them, tugging her husband by the arm. She gave him a warning look, which he acknowledged, yet did nothing about. " Tch, don't be rude, Sasuke-kun. Say hi to Kiba." She said, turning to the vet once more. " You remember Sasuke-kun, don't you?"

" Ye-Yeah…" Kiba started, gulping as the reality sunk in after those heated glares. " You two are together… I mean, Are you guys—"

" Married." Sasuke declared, earning a new glare from his wife.

" We got married during college. First Loves are impossible to forget, right?"

The soft and kind way she was talking to the Inuzuka boy was slowly starting to irritate her husband. His possessive side was getting tired of wasting their time with him, and more than anything, he just wanted to go home. He had had enough of that high school reunion, and if he could, Sasuke would've taken her by the hand and dragged her out of that place and away from that boy.

But since she had yet to meet the Yamanaka girl, Sasuke couldn't simply take her home. Still, he could take her away from there.

" I guess… Well, congrats." Kiba said, faking a smile. " Wish you both all the—"

" Sakura." He held her hand, not even listening to what the vet was talking. " Let's go. Ino wants to talk to you."

" Eh? But what abou— Ah!" He started pulling her, almost making her trip over her heels.

" Oi, Sasuke, you bastard! I wasn't finished!"

" Hn." The raven haired boy stopped and looked back at his high school rival. He was glaring at Kiba, who, for the first time, felt threatened by those cold, dark eyes of the Uchiha.

" ...You better take care of her, you hear me."

" You don't need to tell me that."

His answer left both Kiba and the pinkette surprised. Her eyes widened, and she barely noticed when he resumed pulling her across the room. Sakura knew that when he was jealous, anger was the first thing that crossed his mind when replying to someone. He would be cold and harsh, and even if his answer was, indeed, provocative, it was possible to feel a certain companionship shared by that unsaid promise.

Sasuke made sure to tell him he was going to take care of her. The Uchiha told him— the one boy who had explicitly declared his love for Haruno Sakura— that she would be safe with by his side.

Her husband was growing up, she realized, with a smile on her face.

That, or he was simply mocking Kiba for being the one given such chance. Not that he would ever have to, she thought, confidently. Sakura didn't need to be protected and more than anyone, she was aware of that.

She was aware of her fortes, and most of all, she was aware that Ino had already left the reunion by the time she got there.

Still, she wasn't going to tell him that so soon.

What a silly Uchiha, indeed.

" You look cute when you're jealous, Sasuke-kun."

" Tch, keep quiet."

A giggle escaped her lips, and the sight of her husband's pouting face made her heart flutter in pure excitement.

It was just like High School all over again.
