Old Things Come Back For The Best
(A/N: AU about Sakura and Naruto are singers and are playing for the first time a new song that Sakura ‘made’ that was base off of the past. Think of Sasuke already gone and left somewhere, and how Naruto turned into Sasuke to trick Sakura that Sasuke loves her, to get a kiss from her but in a modern way.)
-Song:The Idea Of You by Mxmtoon-
-Sakura (And Naruto) to Sasuke-
The bright lights around the large room slowly dulled as the humming of the ukulele began. People stopped their quick movetains, turning their attention to the pink haired singer who sat on a wooden stool in front of the mic.
“I don't know… If I’m in love with you or the idea of loving you.” She closed her green eyes as she started, fingers numbly played with the strings of the instruments. “It’s unclear- I mean I used to feel so sure. But I might just be immature.”
“I’ve been stuck on you for so long.” A different voice cut in, a young teen with bright blonde hair continued with a small smile, “That it’s hard to tell myself I may be wrong- about the way that I feel for you.” People screamed as they heard the pianist sing, who simply waved their way, still playing with one hand.
As if the blonde was getting too much of the crowd of fans, Sakura, the main singer started again in a soft tune and a hazy look, like she was reminiscing about the past. “For so long I would squeal over a single text from you. You.”
Naruto took the attention of the people once more with a short cut in, “Cause it’s not love when you don't talk anymore and it’s not love when she never meant something to you.” He looked over the sea of dancing people.
“So why did I ever catch these stupid feelings, I knew, when you told me I was cute that I was dreaming.” Sakura singed softly, humming as she nodded her head to the sound of the music. Naruto glanced towards his teammate in an apologetic way, if Sakura noticed she didn’t show it. “So now, I’ll try and tell myself; my feelings have no meaning. They have no meaning.”
“They have no meaning. ‘Cause it’s not love when you don’t talk anymore and it’s not love when you make her feel like she's a bore. And it’s not love when-”
This time it seemed like Naruto was cut off but Sakura this time, “I was the only one who’s waiting and it’s not love when there was no chance of you saying; I love you too.” (“I love you too.” Naruto chimed in, his voice slower than Sakura but loud enough for the crowd to hear.) Slowly Sakura hummed out. “And I don’t know if I’m in love with you or the idea of loving you, it’s unclear. I mean- I used to feel so sure but I might just be immature.”
Together, the lead singer and the pianist, sang at the same time in quiet tone, “I’ve been so stuck on you for so long that it’s hard to tell myself I may be wrong.” Insync with each other to end the song. People erupted into screams of congratulations and applause as Naruto and Sakura stood up from their seats to bow, before walking off the stage and into the red curtains.
Naruto glanced back before looking towards his teammate with the same face as moments ago, “Hey- look. I’m not dumb you know, I might of not been here when you made this song but that doesn’t mean I don’t know what it’s about and what some of the lyrics mean.” He said, rubbing the back of his head.
Sakura turned back, “So?” She asked, tilting her head to one side in confusion.
“So- I wanted to say I'm sorry. Because- for- you know?” Naruto waved his hands around, sighing in frustration, hoping Sakura understood but there was no answer from the other teen. “For lying to you, you know, taking his phone and texting you that- um that he liked you back.” He looked down in embarrassment and guilt, kicking at the ground.
Sighing, Sakura spoke up in a calmer tone than the blonde expected from her, “It’s alright, that was- we both were immature back then. So, it’s fine now, nothing to worry about.” She patted his shoulder with a smile.
Natuto huffed out a laugh, “Just like the song I guess. But really- I’m sorry, being immature isn’t enough to cover the fact that I tricked you for my own good.” He mumbled out, a smile of his own on his face. “BUT! None of that, we just showed this great bop for the first time so let’s check twitter and see if there are any juicy thoughts about it!” Naruto jumped up, clicking his shoes together before rushing towards one of the dressing rooms to grab his phone.
Sighing again, Sakura chucked while shaking her head. “Jezz, how did I end up in a band with him? Why did I even let him join?”
(A/N: This is one of many little stories about Naruto character(s) singing about or to other character(s). I’ll try my best to do write about different characters and different ships other then my main ones.)
