[Fic] Naruto: Naruto/Sakura: Popular Mechanics Cont'd
More NarutoxSakura stuff. :D I don't care how unpopular it is compared to the other ships--it's darned good for the soul...and I wrote a fic where I killed Naruto and now I'm angsting/emo about it. (HOW, HOW?! IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN! NEVARR! ...who could kill Naruto? That handsome goofy face?!) ....
-------------------------------
Worth It
When Naruto was fifteen he realized loving Sakura-chan was like trying to spell pieces of Shikamaru’s vocabulary: it takes a damn long time, but you feel really, really, really damned good at the end, and after that it’s with you forever.
-------------------------------
Safe
Sakura hears from Ino that when someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. Naruto says her name different, like it’s as holy as his ramen—the moron.
And she smiles because she knows her name is safe in his mouth.
-------------------------------
Enduring
When Sakura got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So Naruto did it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too.
-------------------------------
*The last one was from an e-mail I got recently. I read it and though, "oh my gosh, that's...that's Naruto and Sakura!"

Lol, crack pairings...
He saw her as a valuable friend before he left, but that's it. He never reached out to her emotionally and she never understood his loneliness and always was submissive to him unless Naruto was there to start things off. Whatever bond they had was not mutual, because she forced it on him, as opposed to Naruto which, as seen in the flashbacks to childhood at VOTE, had indeed been mutual.
She's the only woman he acknowledged in Konoha since his mother and aunt, seriously that is a point that's implications settles things for me as a non-SasuSaku shipper.
NARUHINA MAKES ME MAD. Well, not really. Logically the only way they can be together is if Hinata abandons her clan--because Naruto is totally going to become Hokage and how would THAT look if his wife was a clan head tht could bias him? *rolls eyes* And then Hinata would be a coward for forgetting she wanted to change Hyuuga and save Neji. And she's never inspired Naruto, she's never in his thoughts in his lowest moments (that's Sasuke)--it isn't a patient love it's called STALKING.
