(I AM SO SORRY BECAUSE I KEPT ON THINKING AND ADJASLDJADKJAS.)Five things that Chara!Suke learned in the art of courting the woman you want to (and eventually, of course, will) marry but you have to get past the STAGE ONE first:5. Renounce your womanizing ways. Well, of course that took a lot of work: creating break-up letters, restraining orders and schedule changes. This will ensure that you will have nights open for dinners and getting-to-know you conversations.(pathetic, menma laughs, you don’t need this.why? of course, it’ll work.you’re just asking to be kicked in the balls if you tell her ‘i’m free all night’)4. Stop buying roses. It’s overrated. Besides, she hates them a lot.

Ask her, dammit."Um, hey." Green eyes peered in between the gaps of scrolls in front of her. Sasuke fidgeted under her stare, an awkward smile in front of him. (it strongly reminded her of a little boy who would ask favors from his big brother, expecting to hear yes.)"So, Sakura, I mean, ah, how do I start this…?"A sigh. "Yes, Sasuke.""What?"She wrinkled her nose, the way that made all the blood in his face rush to ears, then flood his cheeks. Because of that, Sakura gave that rare giggle."Okay." She raised up a finger. "Tonight. Just once."Sasuke gave a nervous smile."Be a -""A perfect gentleman, of course."
