Hey! Dudeee I wish I could tell you the future but I have no timeline,,,,, I am aiming for around 50 chapters though. Quarantine has messed up my schedule lately so I haven’t been writing as much as usual. I’m trying to get back to grinding out chapters.

Hope you’ve been doing well during these weird times anon!

Hello lovebug! I went ahead and gave you pairings for both! Apologies if they’re both a bit short but, I love you too! I pair you with…

• First of all, he loves that you dye your hair diff colors constantly
• Let’s be real here, Dabi is like, emo/a metal head so he digs the hair
• But the contradictory personality? Yeah, that shit turns him on
• He loves how cute n shy you are, especially the stuttering
• You best believe he is teasing you so fucking hard for it too
• It’s really just the combination of stuttering shyness and being introverted that really gets him going
• Besides, it’s too easy to tease you and fluster you
• Okay tbh tho, he loves that you’re shy of course, but when you whip out your sarcasm and blunt nature?
• Whoooo boy you just opened up a whole ass can of worms
• You’re never getting rid of him now
• Okay but seriously, you really do surprise him the first time you act like that
• He’s thought you’re super shy, cute and an innocent little princess but he quickly realizes that this kitty has claws
• Again, he loves it and you’re not getting rid of him lmao
• Dabi is more than willing to just chill at the LoV base with you or at your apartment and watch you play your games or play his own while you read
• Maybe even just cuddling 👀 but Dabi has to be in the Mood™️
• Overall, there’s a lot of teasing, but it’s a fun relationship

Oops my second Kakashi matchup LMAO

• Okay he loves your hair too!
• It’s really refreshing and he likes the youthfulness of it
• We already know this man loves reading and would be more than happy to be lazy as fuck with you at home
• He would also very much tease you
• The stutter and the shyness make him melt
• Like seriously, the effect you are having on these men is 😩
• He loves it tho lmao
• He appreciates you being sarcastic and blunt, seeing as how he’s the same way 90% of the time
• Since you’re emotional tho, if he ever made you cry, dear god he would beat himself up over it
• Seriously, he wouldn’t let it go and would get pretty upset, poor baby
• Kakashi would also be down to just chill while you played your games
• Honestly he would probably just read as the two of you cuddled on the couch, but I feel like he’d def play with you or watch you play on occasion as well

As I mention in another post, it’s more accurate to say that Sasuke, or rather their common interest in him, catalyzed their rivalry, but it didn’t cause it. The true cause of their rivalry was Sakura’s desire to step out of Ino’s shadow and become her equal. Admittedly, the way she decided to declare their rivalry may not have been the ideal or most mature way she could have gone about it, but that’s how she was, then. She hadn’t teamed up with Naruto or Sasuke yet. She wasn’t even yet twelve. Kids, no matter their gender, seldom think or act graciously, though they generally mean no real harm by it. Everyone needs both a starting place for their growth and the will to grow from there. We can’t all be like Itachi (who, I must add, makes his own mistakes despite his precociousness). 

Sakura and Ino are both complex individuals in their own right. It’s just easy to miss because their stories more closely resemble reality than do, say, Naruto’s or Sasuke’s. 

Let’s review, shall we? 

Sakura and Ino first met in the Academy. The former, who used to be quite shy, was often picked on for her forehead. Ino saw this, reached out to her, and chose to take her under her wing. 

One of the first things Ino did was give Sakura a ribbon to pull back her bangs, thereby owning her forehead and shaking off the bullies. 

She reiterates her belief in Sakura’s potential in another flashback.  

Sakura took her advice and began showing off her forehead. With time and effort, she became more confident, to the point where she grew comfortable enough to tell the rest of the girls in her class about her crush. She hadn’t realized then that most of the girls liked Sasuke as she did, never mind Ino. Ino, in turn, was at least as shocked to learn she and her friend were interested in the same boy. However, this fact alone wasn’t what led to their split. 

While Ino has always had many noble qualities, that doesn’t mean she can’t still be arrogant and bossy, like your typical “alpha.” She’s the sort of girl who would jump to defend her friend from bullies…

…only to turn around and tease her friend for staying “a bud.” Though she had never stopped believing in Sakura’s potential, the latter was taking too long to realize it in her opinion. 

At the same time, Ino had grown too comfortable with their friendship staying the way it was, with her as leader and Sakura as follower. Sakura also recognized this, and unlike Ino, she was not content with it. Indeed, she admired and envied Ino’s gifts, recognizing her superiority then as both a ninja and a person in general. 

The only way she could meaningfully grow into her own and become Ino’s equal was to distance herself from her. Once she discovered that Ino was also pursuing Sasuke’s affections, making them direct competitors, she found the courage to go through with what she had been contemplating for some time. 

She reiterates this again during their match in the Chunin Exam arc. She thinks to herself how grateful she is to Ino for all the help and encouragement she’d given her… 

…but that she would not be a tag-along any longer. 

If it wasn’t clear, Ino understood and even agreed with Sakura’s intent. If she didn’t always, she quickly came around to it. Their rivalry had never been about Sasuke. It had been about Sakura stepping out from Ino’s shadow, as a ninja and a person. 

Indeed, Sasuke doesn’t come up except as a passing mention in the above flashbacks, and neither Sakura nor Ino demonstrate any concern during the match proper about impressing him. Instead, they focus on giving their all in the match, regardless of their audience. 

Their match ends in a draw, and afterwards, Ino acknowledges that Sakura has indeed “blossomed into a flower,” going by both the match and from watching Sakura’s actions against Team Dosu in the Forest of Death. 

While their rivalry would continue, they officially reconcile then as friends (though I would argue they never really stopped being friends, to start with). Sakura and Ino are what we might call “vitriolic best buds.” They may bicker and compete with each other every chance they get, even over the pettiest of things–with Sasuke happening to be one of those things, for a time–but they also push each other to be their honest best. Don’t be misled by the nicknames they give each other. When they’re not competing, they support each other’s endeavors wholeheartedly. They are rivals like Naruto and Sasuke are, without all the angst and drama. 

Of course! I pair you with…
