He didn’t know it he knew how to love, or if he was scared to. He lost everyone he loved by his older brother, whom he once loved and adored more than anything. You had gotten paired up with him and Naruto to go on a team under Kakashi Hatake, though, you weren’t like the other girls who mindlessly fawned over him. You both were friends since you were children, having playdates and ect, that was before everything that..happened happened. If he lost you too, he’s sure he would lose it. If you got sick, if you got hurt, if you got upset, it all made him feel weird. You, him, Naruto, and Kakashi were all hanging out in your free time at Ichiraku.

You and Naruto were the more extroverted ones of the group, while you and Naruto were yapping about something stupid. One thing nobody noticed — was you and Sasuke holding hands under the table, which also made him feel a bit nervous for once in his life. He didn’t know if he wanted to love you, not because you were a bad person, because he felt like everyone he loved died, and he was afraid it would happen to you too.
