Sakura groaned. For about half an hour she had been out with Sasuke - and as silent as he was - they hadn't exchanged a single word. The whole time they were just aimlessly from one floor to the other, walking through all possible corridors in "Moon Star Entertainment". Did this Uchiha even know where to go?

Sasuke ran ahead, as always with his hands in his trouser pockets; Sakura followed well, but not really voluntarily. Haruno saw that a noticeably large number of girls and women who worked in the label watched the two of them and then whispered excitedly to each other. Some even shouted, "Good morning, Cloud-san!" or "Kiyaah, Sasuke-kun!", but as was to be expected of the honorable Uchiha, he ignored the shouts and screams of his "female fan community".Sakura was busy elsewhere, so she didn't pay attention to the looks and talk of the people around her.
"Um, Sasuke."
No Answer.
"Sasuke-kun."
The person addressed was still silent.
"Sasuke Uchiha !!!", Sakura shouted now, but this time too she got no reaction.
"What's that supposed to mean !?", Sakura cursed inwardly and gave the Uchiha's back an annoyed look. But he didn't let it bother him any more, he casually went up the stairs to the next floor and didn't seem to notice Haruno at all.
"If the guy doesn't stop right away, it'll do something !!", Sakura thought bitingly and followed Sasuke upstairs.

Only an hour later, when the two had reached the roof of the tall building, did Sasuke stop. The rain kept hitting the gray concrete floor.
Without paying attention to the rain, Sasuke went to the edge of the building roof, which was surrounded by a wire fence for safety, and looked down on the city from there.Sakura had stopped next to the large glass dome and was looking through the wet pane. She could see the empty corridor below and a lonely plant in a corner. There was something dizzying about the way she looked down through the huge dome, so she averted her green eyes again and looked straight at the boy, who was still looking down.

"Sasuk ...", but before the girl could say anything, Sasuke had already turned around and was now looking straight into Haruno's eyes. Sakura fell silent, she felt how suddenly her heart began to pound loudly, but she ignored that.
"What are we doing here?", Sakura asked and held his gaze.
Sasuke silently ran his way through his wet black hair and Sakura had to pull herself together at the sight. Why did this Uchiha have to look so damn good too?
"Hm." Sasuke looked constantly into the green eyes of Haruno.
Sakura was having a hard time staying relaxed. God, can't he just stop and say something?In one respect Shino was right lately, Sasuke hadn't changed a bit in communicating with other people.

The Uchiha had still not averted his dark eyes from her and was now slowly approaching Haruno. “What?” Sakura felt a slow panic rise within her. She was up here, alone ... with Sasuke. And that was - more or less - not good at all. What if he intended to be alone with her somewhere from the start and ... ??
Sakura's heart dropped with a thump in relief. Sasuke had walked right past her.
"This ends the sightseeing tour," he said flatly.
Sakura couldn't quite hear what was he talking about? Sightseeing tour !?
"You're not serious, right !?", Sakura asked incredulously. What had senseless walking around in a building to do with "sightseeing"?
"I only did what Yondaime asked me to do.", Sasuke said indifferently and leaned against the door that led down to a staircase and looked at Haruno.- Flashback (Note: It is not a train of thought from Sasuke or anything else; it is just an external, brief flashback for the reader) -

"Why should I?"
Sasuke looked slightly annoyed, had crossed his arms and was standing in the middle of the president's office.
"Because Shouta is unfortunately not available that day, that's why."
"That is no reason."
“Oh yes.” Yondaime smiled. "Me your boss.", He added with a trumpet and put his head in his hands, his arms on his desk.
Sasuke didn't say anything. Yondaime was his boss, that was true.
"And why me of all people?" Asked the Uchiha with a sigh.
"You know Sakura and apparently you haven't seen each other for a long time, right? That would be a good opportunity to get to know each other again." Yondaime suggested, tilting his head to one side and waiting for a reply from his counterpart.
But Sasuke was silent.
"You could show her around, do something like a sightseeing tour with her, that would be fun, wouldn't it?", Yondaime said with a grin." Are you doing me a favor or are you doing me a favor? "
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. He didn't seem in any way willing or enthusiastic about the whole idea. Finally he turned and left the room.
Despite the fact that Sasuke had rudely left the office and given no answer, Yondaime smiled contentedly.
"That could be interesting."

- Flashback end -

"Ah yes.", Sakura said just snippily. "And now?"
"Well.", Sasuke replied calmly; the Uchiha looked invitingly at Sakura. Then he walked up to the pink-haired woman again until he was right in front of her. Sakura swallowed hard. He was standing relatively close, not even four inches from her, and wordlessly looked down at the girl.

All these hints and Sasuke's presence in general confused Sakura. Couldn't he even speak plain language? What was all this fuss about? Sakura immediately took a step back.
"Afraid?", The Uchiha then asked mockingly and with a smug grin."Pah, you would like that! Why should I be afraid of you of all people?"
"I don't know.", Sasuke said softly, he almost whispered. Then he took off his black jacket and threw it over Haruno's head. Then he turned, opened the door, and went downstairs.

Sakura stood for a while, with Sasuke's jacket on, and didn't move. She was still looking at the door that Sasuke had just passed through. What was that supposed to mean? Was he worried that she might catch a cold? Sakura clung to the fabric and finally went downstairs as well.

"Hm?" When descending the stairs, Sakura recognized a person from a distance who was leaning against the wall at the end of the landing.
"Were you waiting for me?", Sakura asked a little surprised and let the black jacket slide down until she had it around her shoulders. Sasuke looked at the girl. Then he held out a hand to her.Sakura stared at the Uchiha in confusion. Did he want her to take his hand !? Slightly insecure, Haruno wanted to put her hand on his when suddenly Sasuke said something that gave Sakura a start: "The jacket."
Sakura blushed slightly. That was pretty embarrassing to her.
"Yeah, sure!" She took off the black jacket and roughly pressed it into Sasuke's outstretched hand. How could she believe Sasuke did this out of sheer worry? He was just ...
"Well, well." Sasuke swung his jacket over his shoulder and walked casually towards the elevator.
...arrogant. What was he actually imagining?!?
"Idiot ..." Sakura mumbled quietly and followed him.

During the whole time, neither spoke a word to each other. For Sasuke it was already clear, and Sakura swore inwardly not to speak to this arrogant Uchiha boy anymore. In the elevator she stood as far away from him as possible.What did she expect? That Sasuke is nice? Hardly likely.
When they reached the ninth floor, the elevator door opened and they got out. Without even telling us, Sasuke went purposefully to the men's toilet and disappeared behind the door. Sakura sighed in resignation. The guy had a lot of nerve. But somehow she was glad that Sasuke was gone and leaned lightly against the pale blue wall next to the door. The rain pattered softly against the small window on the opposite side of the hallway. Sakura felt a faint memory and sadness rise in her.

What did she think of him? Back then, after "this" turning point, Sasuke had behaved very differently. Resistant and relatively cool towards others. His quiet and silent manner still shaped him, but since when has he been, more or less, so ... reckless and challenging? That completely changed the memory of the Uchiha at Sakura.
"Sasuke ..." she whispered softly.But what was bothering her more intensely at the moment, why did she often get such palpitations near him? What had started with a curiosity about Sasuke's current traits, couldn't change into long-lived feelings? Sakura inwardly shook her head.
She just imagined it.
Certainly.

"What are you thinking about?"
For the second time that day, Sakura winced, startled; Sasuke stood next to Haruno with one arm on the wall and looked at her.
"Nothing.", She replied firmly and firmly turned her back on the Uchiha. How long has he been there? And why hadn't she noticed him before? "You don't need to be interested in that.", She added with a playful aggressiveness and crossed her arms.
"Well." Sasuke, too, now turned his back to the pink-haired woman.
"What ??" Partly surprised by this subsequent answer, Sakura turned around and saw how Sasuke stepped away from her without further words and got into the elevator."Hey !!!"
But too late.
The Uchiha had long since pressed the button with the "4".
Haruno could see an amused, almost mocking grin on Sasuke's lips before the elevator doors closed completely. "Such a ...", Sakura started to curse. And the Uchiha thought that was funny, yes?!?
With a sudden rage, the Haruno muffled down the stairs with supernaturally fast steps.

"He can't just let me sit there !! What is the guy thinking !?"
Sakura raced around the corner furiously and -

“He-Waaah!” There was a
