Mermaid + team seven = this :D

“I don’t get it,” Naruto grumbles
as he watches Sasuke tuck in his shirt. “Why do
Sasuke doesn’t answer, but he does
cast a sideways glance at him before stashing several weapons under his clothes.
With a sigh, Naruto picks up his
own costume and glares at it from its arm’s-length position as if he might
catch something from it. “Why do I have to be the stupid crab? I could’ve been the king or something.”
The bench creaks slightly when Sasuke
sits down next to him to pull his boots on. “Just put it on so we can get this
over with.”
Naruto glares and glares some
more, but if his teammate notices, he ignores it. “Easy for you to say,” he
finally mutters, knowing it’s not true but not caring
one bit.
“Easy for me?! We wouldn’t even
“Trying to keep you from ramming your
head!” Naruto
glares back in return, and the two sit in standoff until a knock on the door
interrupts them a few seconds later.
“You two dressed yet?”
It’s Sakura-chan,
maybe. “Almost,” he answers. “Gimme
a sec.”
He quickly slips out of his orange clothes and into
confirms his suspicions of how stupid he looks.
“When the old hag said community service, I thought we’d be
picking up trash or something.” Naruto drags his feet
as he and Sasuke make their way to the door. “But
this is cruel and unusual punish…,” he trails off when he steps out into the
hall and sees Sakura.
She’s crossing her arms awkwardly over her bare stomach.
She’s blushing. She’s… totally checking out Sasuke in
his new pirate outfit. Damn it!
and two fake legs sticking out of each side. Where’s the justice, really?
But as his eyes take in the sight of Sakura-
definitely be worse, because from where he’s standing, the view is
He can’t help it. Really, he can’t.
“Nice shells.”
She turns her gaze on Naruto then,
and he can’t help but notice the way her eye keeps twitching. “If it weren’t
for the fact that these kids are sick patients who need to keep their spirits
up to get well…” She advances on him
with an expression just short of murderous, and he raises his claws in what he
hopes looks like surrender as his self-preservation skills kick in. “I wouldn’t
be here having to make sure you two don’t screw this up! You
She glances at Sasuke then, and
her eyes go wide. He’s just been caught looking at her shells, too. Sakura’s
mouth opens and closes a few times like she wants to chastise him but can’t
quite bring herself to do it. Or maybe she’s just in shock or something. It’s
hard to tell.
Sasuke shoves his hands in his
pockets, and with a quick comment of, “let’s just go already,” he briskly
starts off down the hall toward the children’s ward.
“I still think I should’ve been the prince,” he tells Sakura
as they take off after Sasuke. “But I think it’d be
fun to do that scene in the little rowboat just to see him freak out again.”
“Rowboat?” She looks confused for a
moment before her eyes widen. Then she shakes her head and groans, “
One thing he’s always loved about the hospital is how much
the hallways echo, and they don’t let him down when he laughs and starts
singing. “Sha-la-la-la-la-la.
Don’t stop now. Don’t try to hide it how you wanna
kiss the girl.”
The last two things he remembers before he blacks out is how
funny it is when Sasuke freezes ahead of them,
shoulders hunched as if the stick up his ass has somehow managed to find its
way deeper and that he should never, ever
embarrass Sakura-chan while within punching distance.
Unless, of course, he ever wants her to
feel guilty and finish his community service for him again.
