/)///(\ sakulee, modern roommates

AHAHAHAH IT SAYS THREE SENTENCES. THIS IS NOT THREE SENTENCES.

i had such a good time writing this. this was so fucking CUTE like i had to stop and just smile so big because omfg i love these stupid dorks ugh. and LISTEN. lee would 100% have a nice ass, you’re tellin me someone as fit as him wouldnt?? hellllloooo not on my watch

She stood in front of the door and steeled her spine. Double and tripling checking she had the address right, Sakura tightened her grip on her duffle bag and knocked. 

Her phone buzzed with texts from Deidara, Kisame, and Itachi asking if she had arrived safely, if her new roommate was a total creep, if she was sure she needed to move. They had been fretting like mother hens for the past two months when she told them she’d have to move further into the city for school and work. 

Hell, even Kazuko and Hidan were a little more grumpy when she told them the news, which was both hilarious and endearing. And well, she loved those stupid men but she really did need to move. She was just really lucky that Tenten knew someone who needed a roommate. 

The door swung open and Sakura quickly looked up from her long winded text that would hopefully reassure the boys that she was fine and promptly dropped her phone on her foot. Because. Holy fucking shit. 

When Tenten had told Sakura about her friend she had that look in her eye that Sakura should have known meant trouble. Plus, Tenten was always surrounded by annoyingly beautiful people and Rock Lee was not an exception. Hell, he was the defining line.

Sakura cursed filthily before slapping a hand over her mouth and stared at her new roommate while he smiled back at her, face flushed, “Ah, um, Haruno Sakura?”

She nodded mutely, stooping down to grab her phone before straightening, her face burning. She held out her hand, “Yeah, sorry. I’m Sakura. And you’re Rock Lee?”

Lee smiled again and Sakura’s heart pounded even harder. She should be used to unnaturally attractive men, hell she lived with some of them for the past five years, but damn. “I’ll show you around if you want. Tenten said you were starting your residency at the hospital?”

“Yeah,” Sakura tucked her hair behind an ear and followed him into the apartment’s kitchen, trying her best to not stare at his ass. “It’s why I had to move actually, also thank you again for letting me stay here. The rest of my stuff should be coming tomorrow.”

Lee looked at her, brows knit before waving her gratitude off, “No need for thanks! Any friend of Tenten’s is a friend of mine.” He beamed at her and Sakura could have sworn she forgot to breathe for a moment. 

She was so, so screwed.

.

.

.

“You work out?” She asked three weeks later, her hair was a mess, she was wearing Kisame’s shirt (that went well past her fucking knees. Stupid giant men.) and coffee mug in hand (Sasori made it for her, it was pretty fucking ugly). It was three in the afternoon and usually Sakura was at the hospital or sleeping the day away so she had never been treated to the sight of Lee sweaty and shirtless, post-work out.

He nodded excitedly, “Yes! There is a gym two blocks from here. Do you enjoy working out also?”

She nodded, lips twitching up in a smile, “Yeah actually, my old roommates and I used to do marathons together and go to the gym.” She pursed her lips, “How much does a membership cost?”

“Worry not,” Lee waved her off, smiling once more as he ran a hand through his hair (Sakura did not, did not stare). “I can add you to mine.”

“Oh.” Sakura blinked dumbly, eyes widening. “Oh. Uh. No, it's okay! I can-”

He clapped a hand to her shoulder and his hands were large and warm and calloused, “Allow me to, Sakura. After all, you do wash all the dishes and clean the bathroom.” Mirth danced in his dark eyes and Sakura felt herself flush, words tangling in her throat and twisting her tongue. She opted to just nod and scream into a pillow later. 

That night when Itachi called for their usual nighttime facetime (because they were still mothering her) he took one look at her and sighed heavily, “Are you using protection?”

She heard the sound of feet pounding over the phone and Hidan screaming what?! while Kisame snatched the phone from Itachi to lecture her about safe sex as if she wasn’t 25 and a fucking doctor. 

Sakura had never hung the phone up that quickly before.

.

.

.

“I think I’m in love with Lee.” She muttered, running her hands through her hair.

The boys finally found the time to come visit her in the city, so Itachi and Kisame sat at the counter while Sasori and Deidara explored the apartment. 

Itachi snorted into his tea cup while Kisame leveled her an unimpressed look. From her bedroom, Hidan yelled, “We fuckin’ knew that, bitch! ‘Bout fuckin’ time you figured it out, god damn!”

Sakura winced slightly, scratching at the back of her neck and putting her coffee mug on the counter. “Yeah yeah shut the fuck up Hidan!” She tugged at her hair again and twisted up her lips. “But what the fuck am I supposed to do? Or say? Do I tell him? Do I ignore it? This isn’t some normal situation, you know!”

(She didn’t notice the way Kisame and Itachi glanced over her shoulder or the soft jangle of keys.)

Sakura paced back and forth in the kitchen, arms flying up and flailing. “Like do I tell him, ‘Lee, we’ve been living together for over a year now and I am 100% in love with you. You make me breakfast and have me on your gym membership and the way you smell is so nice and your aftershave is kind of gross but I adore it because it's yours’?”

“Or!” She half yells, throwing her hands up again, “Should I tell him the way he smiles and his laugh makes me feel so alive and that I moved my shifts around so I could always be home when he got home and make dinner together? Or should I tell him how nice his ass is? How his positivity is so contagious and that he makes me want to be a better person? That literally just sitting in the same room gives me butterflies and calms me down all at the same time?”

The apartment was quiet and Sakura froze when someone behind her drops their keys. Kisame’s eyes were glued over her shoulder, Itachi looked at her half in amusement half in pity. 

Slowly, ever so slowly, Sakura turned around, eyes wide and face red to see Lee standing under the door frame, keys laying on the ground. He had a bouquet of flowers tucked under his arm and he audibly swallowed.  

Tucked in the flowers was a large card with her name sprawled in beautiful cursive.

Lee stared right back at her, his face just as red as hers before he thrusts the flowers into her shaking hands. 

And well, Lee was a loud person, he was a great communicator, and his feelings were never not known. But Sakura was in love with him, she knew him, and she could see him in those quiet moments. She knew what they meant. 

Sakura clasped the flowers to her chest and looked up at him, eyes watering and smiled widely. Without breaking eye contact, she addressed her best friends, “Get out.”

She will never live down the endless teasing of that day. Though, she was very glad she kicked them out sooner rather than later.

.

.

.

The piano played softly in the back as they danced, his hands settled on her hips, her arms around his neck. She smiled up at him, all joy and love. He balled openly, all overflowing emotion and unending happiness.

Sakura cupped his face, thumbs bruising away his tears before she leaned up to kiss him. Hidan wolf whistled and Tenten whooped in the back as they broke apart. Lee smiled, tucked her under his chin and Sakura closed her eyes, reveling in the bliss of it all. 

“Your ass looks so good in those pants,” She muttered.

Lee threw his head back and laughed.

StorySwap Color - Dating... Start!!!

There are a number of dates that have to be done to finish True Pacifist. They can be done in any order.

Chara:

Once you get through Sakura town, Chara will call Swappy and apologize with Asriel’s help, and they’ll invite you over.

Swappy arrives at Chara’s house. They knock on the door. Asriel is the one to answer, and they let Swappy inside. He says Chara will come down soon. They can explore the downstair floor with some commentary and some trivia from Asriel. Once they attempt to go upstairs, Chara will come out in their date outfit… which is really just a sweater over a dress, shirt, and pants. They invite Swappy into their room for the hangout session.

Once they arrive at the room, Chara will allow Swappy to explore the room a bit. They’ll dodge most of Swappy’s questions about things in their room, especially references to the TTM crowd. Once they interact with Chara, it’s time for the (platonic) date!

(PLATONIC) DATING… START!!

… Or not. Chara just awkwardly stares at Swappy for a bit. Suddenly they say they have to check on something and run offscreen. Swappy can hear Chara and Asriel in the background, represented by the dialogue boxes appearing at the sides. Chara asks Asriel what the heck should they do on a hangout, and Asriel tells them to play a game, or “Just pretend they’re Frisk.” “But Asriel, they are Frisk.”, so then he tells them to wing it.

So Chara comes back on screen and asks Swappy if they want to play a game. Swappy agrees and subtly flirts, to Chara’s confusion. Chara attempts to shrug it off and asks them what game would they like to play.

First they play Alphysuki Double Kawaii Racing~!, a crappy reskin of Mario Kart Double Dash, and Chara gets obliterated by Swappy’s gaming skills. Chara insists that the game doesn’t work and what other game would they want to play. And that is, of course, Alphysuki Love Bash, a Mario Party clone. Swappy destroys them again.

Chara, not willing to accept defeat, challenges Swappy to ONE last game; Betris (Alphysuki doesn’t own every game in existence you know). Swappy, as expected, beats them. Chara is pissed, and Swappy flirts with them, this causes Chara to fluster and get progressively angrier about it, until Swappy has flirted enough to actually set them off. Chara takes out their knife, extremely angry, and shouts at them to stop for real.

Swappy stares at them silent, then Chara looks down at the knife, and they drop it. They admit that they don’t have any idea how to actually make friends, or even how to really do stuff with people not family. They appreciate Swappy’s… love? But they don’t appreciate it either, it confuses them. They just don’t understand their own feelings, but they do know that they aren’t into Swappy romantically.

Swappy bows in apology, they offer their hand and Chara is confused, to which Swappy says they can be friends. Chara is surprised, can they actually talk?! Swappy ignores that. Chara shakes their hand and agrees to a truce and slow friendship.

Chara apologizes for the awkwardness, but that they’re glad to have actually made a friend at last. Swappy tells them to not worry about it and leaves the house, continuing their adventure.

Undyne:

If you don’t say yes to hanging out with Undyne in Heatmoor, she’ll call you after Omega Florescent if Chara’s Date is over. Once you arrive, she invites you into her wonderfully AC’d home, and she makes you coffee since that’s all she has. After the awkward silence through preparing the coffee, and Swappy taking a sip, Undyne mentions how much she hates coffee despite it being the only thing she drinks, and they share a laugh.

Another awkward silence. Undyne gives in, and she gets to the point… She asks about Sans, As it turns out, she’s really suspicious of him and has been even before Swappy came. She’s seen him having mysterious talks with the Royal Guard, and the whole “moving to the Old Core” bit was so sudden, so she asks if Swappy knows anything at all. Swappy tells her a little bit of what they know, but decides not to tell her about how he tried to kill them. Undyne doesn’t seem satisfied with their answer, but accepts it anyway. The topic shifts to how she became a sheriff mail woman in the first place, which is conveniently interrupted by the call of duty.

Papyrus called her to deliver a new letter, which begrudgingly cuts the date short, Undyne probably gives them an instant coffee or something, and the two leave the house, leaving Swappy alone to explore.

Asgore:

After the Alphysuki fight, Asgore will call and invite Swappy over for tea. Of course you’ll accept because who wouldn’t want to spend time with good ol’ goat dad?

After reaching Asgore’s house, he invites them over to a small garden he quite nicely takes care of near his house. He makes some tea, and gives Swappy a cup. The awkward silence from Swappy makes Asgore think back to when Chara first came to the underground, they weren’t as fiery as they are now. They were actually quite shy, and a little cute. But, surprisingly somber…

He also explains about how he had to break a promise he had made with Sans (who he addresses as “an old friend”), since he was supposed to kill them quietly- but he couldn’t bring himself to, specially since they had become friends with Asriel. He also mentions about how Asriel doesn’t really have many friends aside from Chara and “those two”. He hopes that they can be good friends with Asriel one day, to which Swappy is like “hm mayb”. Eventually, Asgore has to head off, but he gives Swappy a pat on the head, and asks them to not touch the flowers, and that they can stay here for as much as they want.

Swappy of course leaves immediately after.

Alphys/Toriel:

After loading after Omega Florescent’s fight, Toriel will call Swappy at the entrance of the New Core. She tells them to come over to her lab, since she needs help with something.

Swappy arrives at the lab, where Alphys is panicking over what should she wear to some sort of date. When she spots Swappy, she gets even more nervous and a little awkward. Swappy assures her there’s no bad blood about the fight, much to her relief. Toriel asks Swappy if they could help out with Alphys’s mysterious date. Swappy agrees. Alphys shows Swappy three cosplay dresses she has, but Swappy chooses a different blatantly correct choice: A simple black dress with polka dots. After Alphys gets changed, the trio heads out to where all dating takes place: The dump.

Toriel questions Alphys on why she chose this place, because the dump is actually the worst. Alphys says it’s the place her and Undyne first met, so it’s special. While Toriel understands the sentiment, it’s still an ugly dump. So Toriel and Swappy starts looking for some decorations. Toriel finds a rather sizeable box to work as a table, and Swappy puts a crappy blanket over it to work as a table cloth. Since they still need a table decoration, Swappy picks any item out of their inventory. The best one to pick is Papyrus’ Winner Spaghetti, and the “worst” to pick, is Dog Residue.

Things are shaping up, now Alphys just needs some coaching. BUT, Undyne seems to be arriving earlier than intended. Toriel quickly hands Alphys an earpiece, and Swappy and her hide behind some trash. Undyne is marches in while Alphys is internally screaming, loudly yelling “Are you ready for our SUPER PERSONAL, ONE ON ONE D– I MEAN HANGOUT???” Alphys nods, and kneels by the table. Undyne comments on whatever table decoration Swappy chose, which Alphys always tries to defend… awkwardly.

DATING… START!!…?

Alphys is unsure what to do on the date, so Toriel pulls out her walkie talkie. She tells Swappy that she doesn’t know how to coach someone in a date, so Swappy should be the one to help Alphys. Swappy provides instructions that are really helpful, such as: kiss her, tell her she’s cute, marry her. Alphys is a flustered mess.

Despite everything, the date is going relatively okay, until the walkie talkie runs out of battery, which causes Alphys to grow even more panicked. Toriel lifts Swappy up to attempt to sign phrases to Alphys, but she doesn’t get what Swappy is trying to say and it just gets even more awkward.

Eventually, Undyne spots Swappy, and she’s confused. What are THEY doing here?! The pair comes out of hiding since they’ve been found out. Undyne asks about what the heck is going on, so Alphys admits that she wasn’t confident enough to go alone. She had disappeared for so long, and Undyne is so cool and everything. She wanted to do everything right. Undyne interrupts her spiel and is like “ALPHYS. I don’t care, I love you like you are. You’re hot– I MEAN YOU’RE MY BEST FRIEND!!”

Now a little embarrassed, Alphys cries a bit, and hugs Undyne. Undyne then sheepishly asks “Do you want to come to my place??? To be alone and stuff.” Alphys says yes, and the two leave the dump, leaving Swappy and Toriel alone again.

Toriel leads Swappy out of the dump, and tells them there’s one more thing she needs help with. Asriel has gone missing, and she hasn’t been able to find him anywhere. She asks them to look for him. He was last seen in the Forest. Once Swappy backtracks, they notice that a door sealed in Toriel’s lab is now open…

Pairing: SasuSaku 🌸

Rated: T

Summary: "Sakura Haruno, she was certainly a pleasant surprise in his life. " /// 31 Days of SasuSaku-Mas. Unrelated Prompt Based Drabbles in different AUs.

Chapter Four /// Prompt: Lean on Me

When he had gotten a call in the middle of the night, Sasuke had expected it to be someone from the station calling him into work for some type of emergency. He wasn’t completely wrong. It was a call from the police station.

A tad bit annoyed that someone had decided to disturb his sleep so late, Sasuke groaned loudly at the sound of his phone ringing. What could the idiots that he called his employees possibly need from him at this time. He only left them less than three hours ago, they couldn’t fuck up anything that bad already. Barely suppressing his urge to chuck the phone across the room, he pressed it against his ear, mumbling, “Uchiha Sasuke.”

“Sorry to wake you Sir,” it was Jugo. As he continued to listen on to what the man was saying to him, he could overhear a bunch of commotion happening in the background. Mainly a loud female voice shouting nonsense.

Stopping Jugo mid-sentence, Sasuke asked, “What idiot did you guys take in that’s making all that noise?”

“Uh…,” he could hear the hesitance in the man’s voice. “I wouldn’t say that she’s an idiot, Sir. Just a little… drunk.”

“And who is this she?”

The moment the three syllable name fell from Jugo’s mouth, Sasuke was up and out from his bed in a flash, throwing a jacket over his shoulders, and grabbing his keys before dashing out the door. Starting his car, he placed the call on speaker. “I’m coming. Just keep her hydrated. Keep a trash can near by in case she throws up. I’ll be there soon.”

.

With is being so late at night, there was barely any cars on the road, so Sasuke made it to the station in a record’s time all while maybe breaking a traffic law or two in the process. Giving the guard up front a curt nod, he keyed in the passcode to the overnight jail room. Before he could even allow the door to close behind him, a blob of pink threw itself at his body.

Thanks to his quick reflexes, he was able to steady the both of them before they both went tumbling to the ground. Glaring at the two guards in front him, he shook his head in disappointment.

Looking down at the girl snuggled in his arms, he gave her a good flick to the forehead. “What did you do?”

Eyes completely glazed over, Sakura pouted. Jabbing her index finger against his chest, she whined, “Accusing me already? You don’t even know if it was my fault!”

Suppressing the urge to roll his eyes, Sasuke took in her condition. Her cheeks were flushed red, her face glistening with light level of sweat. Her pink locks that he assumed was once styled and curl, was nothing but a heaping mess on top of her head. The highly ugly handmade sweater that she was wearing wasn’t even sitting on her shoulders properly anymore as it was skewed far to the right, exposing her pale skin. Her mascara was starting to smudge around the edges but she still looked beautiful regardless.

As he allowed her to continue on with her rant, he could faintly smell the scent of multiple glasses of fruity martinis. Shaking his head, he draped his jacket over her tiny form. Fruity drinks and Sakura really didn’t mix well. They were always too light for her so she would just continue knocking them back until her body would crash from the overdose, hence drunk Sakura. Usually, she handled her alcohol pretty well.

“How did she get here?” Sasuke questioned as he didn’t see any other familiar faces in sight. He knew that she had went to a company holiday party with a bunch of her coworkers, who all happened to be their old high school classmates, so he was surprised that she ended up here instead of carpooling home with one of them.

From the corner of the room, lounging lazily at his desk, Suigetsu said, “Dunno man. A loud blondie came in earlier with pinky. But her boyfriend came and picked her up already. Looks like they walked here by themselves.”

Sasuke’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets at the new found information. She what? Snapping his head over to the still ranting Sakura, he couldn’t help but mentally face palm himself. Two completely drunk and defenseless girls walking alone in the dark. Not mention the station was miles from where the party was at.

“You’re insane, you know that?” He told her as he bid Suigetsu and Jugo goodbye before leading her out the door. “Walking here in this state?”

“Oh, come on.” Sakura grumbled, arms crossing in front of her chest. “Yes, I’m drunk. But that doesn’t mean that I’m incapable of defending myself. Plus I had Ino.”

“Was that supposed to give me some sense of reassurance? Because it didn’t.”

“I’m not weak.”

“I know.” He sighed tiredly. Resting his hands on her shoulders, he tightened the jacket over her body as they exited the building and into the cold winter night. There wasn’t any snow on the ground anymore, as most of it had melted away over the past couple of days. But that didn’t mean that it got any warmer.

Barely making a step or two out into the street, Sakura turned around to him unsteadily and pouted. “Carry me. I’m tired.”

Her words had him stunned for a second. Sober Sakura would have never asked such a thing. Sure, for a while now, they have gotten closer with each other, to a point where Sasuke was okay with some types of contacts, but definitely not that close. They’ve had their accidental shoulder brushing moments when they’re walking too close to each other or sudden knee bumps underneath the table. And once, he had allowed her to lay her head on his shoulder during one of their movie nights when she fell asleep halfway through. Those were nothing but fleeting touches though.

As he continued to stand there frozen, Sakura whined even louder. She even went as far as grasping his hand completely in hers and swinging it side to side.

Drunk Sakura sure made a fearless Sakura, Sasuke had concluded.

Sighing deeply, he turned around so that his back was facing her and crouched down. Waving her towards him, he mumbled, “Come on.”

Laughing giddily, Sakura was happy to comply as she hopped onto his back without any complaint. Arms tightening around his neck, she buried her face into the crook of his neck, unintentionally sending shivers down his spine as he felt her warm breath fanning against his skin. “You’re the best, Sasuke.”

Bracing her legs, Sasuke began walking towards to his car as Sakura continued to talk his ear off about all the things that happened at the holiday party; who wore what, who brought who, who won the ugly sweater contest, who’s got drama with who. Just all the gossip in the world.

By the time they had reached his car, he noticed that Sakura wasn’t rambling about the party anymore. Turning his head to look at her, he found that she had indeed fallen asleep on his back. Which wasn’t unexpected. Sleepiness would bound to kick in sooner or later. Shaking his head, he couldn’t help but smile when he felt her tighten her arms even more when he tried to remove them and put her into the car.

Drunk Sakura was also cute Sakura.
