I hope I didn't forget to say welcome also! In case I did...Welcome!
I have to say, your story reminds me of my own, I also used to like Sasusaku for that same reason even! and was iffy about Naruto. I didn't see it coming, but I started to really see those two in a different light... ( Naruto and Sakura) Naruto seemed like just the loudmouth, and and didn't seem to be able to get along with Sakura...at least at first... But really, We all came to love Naruto at pretty much same time as Sakura. ( her smiles, her way of thinking about him, her worries for him, her tears...etc..)
It's crazy to go back and realize that this is the same girl who couldn't stand him....Could it be that Naruto was actually made as a character to reach a goal and everyone doesn't see it at first? but the first one that does is Sakura. ( and us of course, reading it...)
I think that's why her moment at the Chunnin exam ( written part) is so touching. Cuse she wants him to keep his dream, even though that early in the series, it seemed like the silliest thing ever to support that adorable dork...she does, and it really means alot. (and I really wish Naruto could have seen it...)
I'm sorry if this makes no sense...This is what happens when I try to type when it's past midnight...
I hope you found some gem in this, and it makes you smile in some small way. :)
