[He's still trying to figure out the chain Bolin has given him (Bolin's brother- and more than one ex-girlfriend, that start dating-) when Naruto finds both of his shoulders clutched dramatically while his friend starts leaning in. His eyes are almost comically wide, it's an expression Naruto mirrors without thinking about it; he's always been a reflection of the people around him.
The reason he isn't hinged on it is because there's a part of him that still feels uncertain about the fight he's in right now. As much as Sakura and Sasuke tell him about the peaceful future they create together, it's nothing more than wishful thinking for many of their comrades back home. It's further away for him than the immediacy of Neji's death, and knowing he'll have to say goodbye to his father's ghost. Naruto's response is owlish in his confusion.]
But the girl of my dreams was Sakura-chan and she was never gonna end up with me.
