Same Odds
"Put that thing out. You need to stop smoking right now." Kurenai Yuuhi nudged her long time boyfriend with the toe of her boot. He frowned up at her from the ground, blew a smoke ring, and looked away pointedly. She was using her puppy eyes. Not fair! Asuma suddenly began staring at his lighter. Damn those eyes, why did they always work?!?
"Why should I stop smoking, huh? I'll die as a shinobi before lung cancer gets me." Asuma casually slipped an arm around Kurenai's shoulders and twirled some of her dark hair around his fingers. She leaned into his chest, grinning smugly, and started to open her mouth. He flinched on the inside, of what was yet to come.
"Smoking is bad for unborn kids, you know." She was practically squealing with excitement. Asuma looked down at the cigarette in his fingers. Oh. OH.
Miles away, a grinning Naruto crashed into Shikamaru and Temari, who were on a walk together. HE wanted to know if they were on a date. There was a lot of blushing and Temari finally sputtered out a stammered "no fucking way!". Naruto laughed and rubbed his head sheepishly.
"I'm just fooling around, guys. You two- ha-ha- that's like if Sakura and the teme, or Asuma and Kurenai. Same odd of that ever happening! I gotta go meet Hinata-chan for ramen. Bye!" He ran off towards the Ichiraku's, still chuckling. After waiting for Naruto to be well out of eyesight, Shikamaru wrapped a possessive arm around Temari's shoulders and kept walking. He laughed to himself mentally. Yeah Naruto, same odds
