Hats
2 of the 5 most powerful people sat on ether side of a rather messy office trading pleasantries as a young woman entered weaving her way round a stack of paperwork to the desk as the 2 men chatted
on reaching the desk she looked bewildered for a place to put the tray of tea things she held, as not only was the desk covered in its usual detritus of paperwork and empty ramen cups but it was also filed with 2 round and slightly conical hats, one red and one green
"umm?"
at her questioning sound both men looked up at her, one a red head with dark rimmed green eyes sat quietly with his hands loosely folded, a look of contemplation on his face. The other was a bright blond with eyes as blue as the sky, he smiled at her and moved a few items out of the way so she could place the tray down on top of a small stack of paperwork
"Hokage" she bowed to the blond"Kazakage" and then to the red head before hurrying out of the office
"Naruto" the red head sighed "you really have to do something about the mess in here"
"I try, truly I do Gaara but, y'know I think the paperwork breeds and multiples when i'm not looking and before I know it im burred by it" the blond laughed with a hand rubbing his neck
He paused a moment then looked at the red head with a grin leaning forward in his elbows on the desk and his head resting on his hands
"now Gaara, tell me what's truly bothering you. We've been friends long enough for me to tell there's something bothering you"
the red head, Gaara shot up from his seat and grabbed one of the hats from the desk
"there's nothing wrong" he placed the hat on his head "if you don't mind, I will take my leave to visit my sister"
"Sure, but you know as a friend I will always be here if you wish to talk... Hokage" the blond burst out laughing
The red head spun round at his last word to see the laughing blond leaning back in his chair pointing at the green hat with the kanji for "Wind" on its brim, still sat on the desk. He looked up at the hat on his head. Removed it to find it was red with the kanji for "Fire"
he stomped over to the laughing man slammed the red hat over his face before snacking the green hat and storming from the office with a slam of the door that sent all the precariously stacked papers toppling (though some were helped in their fall by wisps of sand)
the door opened slowly as a bearded man looked in to the room, "Naruto, What the hell did you do in here"
still grinning the blond sat up removing his hat and held it up "hats Shikamaru, Hats!" he then fell back in his chair laughing again
this was a fun bit of fluff that came into my head while reading I Am NOT Going Through Puberty Again! by EvilFuzzy9 and if you want a giggle its a must read (this fic was inspired by a moment in chapter 14 when Gaara mistakenly refers to himself as Hokage)
anyway i have n plans on continuing this but if someone wants to use this as inspiration feel free to use it just let me know so i can read what you do with it (a little credit would be nice as well)
as to the rest of my writing i haven't stopped i have been plagued with computer issues and my own mental health but im looking to get back into the flow of things though all will be new works as all my old stuff is stuck on a hard drive that i cant at the moment get in to (its safe just cant get at it until someone with more PC know how than me fixes it)
