A Stupid Conversation

"So tell me, Sakura, what do you see in Sasuke?"

"Well, he's good looking."

"So you like him for looks?"

"He's smart too! Seriously, Kakashi-sensei, why are you asking anyway?"

"Out of curiosity."

"That's not very nice."

"How is that not nice?"

"You could've said something like, 'I'm jealous, Sakura, that you have someone you love already.'"

"But I wouldn't say that."

"Why not?"

"I'm more than a decade older than you."

"What? Age doesn't matter. I'm older than Sasuke-kun but I still like him."

"So you're saying you wouldn't mind being with a sixty-year-old man?"

"Of course not! I'm saying you should have a reason other than just curiosity to ask me why I'm interested in a perfect guy like Sasuke-kun."

"You said I should've said I'm jealous—"

"That was the first thing I could think of! Don't use it against me!"

"I'm jealous, Sakura, that you have someone you love already."

"Kakashi-sensei! Don't tease me!"

"What if I'm not teasing?"

"You are! You so are!"

"How do you know I'm not serious?"

"Look at you! I can tell you're grinning under your mask."

"But you can't see it properly. How can you be sure?"

"Then show it to me! Take off your mask."

"Why should I take off my mask for you?"

"Because I want to see your face!"

"What will you give me if I take it off?"

"A dog collar? Ice cream? I don't know!"

"Not good enough, Sakura."

"Then what do you want, Kakashi-sensei?"

"You."

"…I said stop teasing me!"

"But when you blush, you look so cute."

"Stop teasing!"

"I'm not, I'm not. I really do think you're cute when you blush."

"Kakashi-sensei. Seriously, stop—"

"…"

"…"

"…mm."

"Did you just kiss me, sensei?"

"What if I did, Sakura?"

"Um…"

"Hmm?"

"…Can you do it again?"

"What will you give me this time?"

"…My tongue."
