Two blondes snuck in the shade of an alley way, eyes glued upon the delicious prize up ahead: a watermelon.
"Come on sis!" The boy muttered, signalling with a wave for his twin to follow.
She just nodded in response, ducking behind the stand with shinobi-like silence. Hushing each other repeatedly, they peeked up and out of the darkness of their hiding spots, eyes wide in longing, as they stared at the large globular fruits, waiting for the owners back to turn.
"Now!" Quickly as they could, the two dashed forward, each grappling onto a green melon, stashing it in the crook of their arms, and taking to the crowded streets again.
A few seconds too late, the vender called out, waving his hands high as to alert the surrounding shoppers of their thieving ways. "Hey! You kids come back here!" He would have gone after them himself but he had a stand to run. Shaking his head in dissappointment he returned his full attention back to his customer.
The blonde couple snickered, sprinting up a rickety set of steps and slinking through their apartment door. "That was a close one, Yanami!" The male announced with glory, wiping a line of sweat from his brow.
Said Yanami only nodded, tucking a strand of stray hair hind her ear and looking down with a hungry gaze at the melon.
Seeming to perceive a hidden message of sorts, the boy rushed to the kitchen, running back with a large knife and cutting board. He quickly chopped the fruit into several slices, generously giving the larger piece to his sibling. "Dig in!"
Not wasting a beat, they engaged in the feast of fruit kings. At least to them, it was nothing less than perfection.
The girl finished up, sliding that same strand of hair back where it belonged before patting her stomach with a flat hand, a contented look upon her face. She pulled out a pen and paper and began to scribble furiously, before holding up the sheet for her sibling to see. "Thanks Naruto! That was great." It read in neat print.
Naruto jumped to his feet and gave a thumbs-up. "No problem!" He spun and dashed toward his room, watching with a smirk as his sister raced after him. The two tackled each other on the bed, one laughing furiously while the other giggled in silence, while furiously tickling.
"Y-Yanami!" Naruto cried, attempting to breath between giggles, relaxing slightly as her two stealthy hands slid from his sides. "Phew, you win! You win!"
He plopped on his back, staring at the ceiling, holding his sister's hand. "I don't know what I would do without you, sis!" He chimed, turning his head to face her.
Yanami grinning back, mouthing the words 'me neither' before leaning in and kissing his cheek.
He blushed, quickly twisting away and shrinking into a fetal position. "Good night." He stated into his knees, the sound muffled by his scrappy shorts.
Yanami patted Naruto's back three times, a signal only the two of them knew, meaning 'love you.'
Naruto grinned in the increasing darkness, admiring the pink the sunset placed upon the surroundings. "Love you too."
