Rating: (15) for language.
Summary: "Oh,
come on, you're a teenage boy."
"So," Karin asked one freezing night, when they were all wrapped in cloaks and blankets and the sheer determination not to be the first to go to the tent, "You must've had a girlfriend or something in Mist, right?"
It had been Suigetsu's turn to field stupid questions, and he glanced over from where he was slowly freezing himself to his sleeping roll with a look of complete confusion.
"Why the hell would I need a girlfriend?"
"Oh, come on," She continued, scathing, "You're a teenage boy. You have a penis. You'd have a girlfriend."
"He doesn't."
They both looked over to where Sasuke was lighting another small fire, and as though sensing their disbelief, he added reluctantly, "A penis, that is."
"Only because it's a liability in battle," Suigetsu said, clearly resuming an old discussion, "I mean, come on."
They all fell silent at that, Karin caught up in deep thought and Sasuke returning to his job of pretending that they were all particularly well-carved, voluble blocks of stone. Quiet reigned for several minutes, until Suigetsu perked up.
"If you wanted, I guess I could make one. We have enough water."
They thawed his puddle out the next morning.
