Why, hello there readers! My muse hasn't been doing so well lately, so I decided to try and remedy that with a short one-shot. I asked someone for a prompt/keyword, and him being the snarky dork that he is, said some inappropriate ones. However, one of them I immediately picked up an idea for and started writing.
The keyword is 'penis,' lol.
Hope you guys enjoy!

Naruto was a simple kind of guy. At least, that was what everyone had come to understand. While his alias was 'Konoha's Number One Most Unpredictable Knucklehead Ninja,' he was fairly easy to please. Ramen was his favorite food, he wanted to be Hokage, and orange was his favorite color -that or his jumpsuit was for the sole purpose of standing out. Don't hold it against him, he was a glutton for attention.
He wore his heart on his sleeve.
Sai wasn't so simple. He was downright confusing. Proper social interaction appeared nonexistant when it came to the emotionally-stunted ANBU member, and he just pissed people off when he smiled at them. However, it probably didn't help that all his smiles were completely ingenuous.
Sometimes it seemed like he didn't have a heart.
It really came as no surprise that two completely opposite people clashed so horribly at first. Naruto bickered and threatened. Sai stood there and bluntly insulted. Especially about things that made Naruto -and everyone else around them- uncomfortable. Like now.
"Stop talking about dicks!" Naruto's face was red. It could be from anger or embarrassment, but it didn't really matter. "I'm serious! I'll kick your ass if you say one more thing!"
Sai seemed to mull over this information quietly as he stared at his sketchbook.
Satisfied that he made his point, Naruto snorted and folded his arms across his chest, but still glared at the Sasuke-replacement. Slowly his cheeks seemed to cool back down to their regular shade once Sai took the hint.
Or it seemed like it. "Does having a small penis really bother you that much?"
This time Sakura couldn't hold back a small snort -though she was blushing- and she covered her mouth to try and stifle it. Naruto quietly raged at a pleasantly smiling Sai before exploding.
"That's it!"

It was later in the evening when the new team was bunked for the night, huddled in their sleeping bags, that Naruto complained to Sakura quietly. Yamato and Sai had fallen asleep, but the two original members of Team Seven lay wide awake.
"Because it's embarrassing!" Naruto explained gruffly when Sakura asked why he got so flustered at Sai's questions. "You'd get pissed too Sakura-chan if he was talking about...you know! Your parts." At least he didn't say it.
He was right, but she didn't say anything. Instead she shot him an annoyed look that he promptly averted his eyes at. There was a small blush on his cheeks for thinking about that. Especially Sakura's. "Why don't you just ignore it? He's probably just trying to rile you up since you always react."
He grumbled something incoherent and she raised an eyebrow at him. "It's embarrassing," Naruto repeated, still keeping his eyes away from hers and starting to finger the dirt underneath him.
"Alright then," Sakura started, and there was a strange sort of smile on her face. One he hadn't really seen before and it made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up once he found the courage to look up at her again.
"Why does having a small penis bother you so much?"
Naruto sputtered, and his cheeks flared bright red as he stared, slack-jawed at his usually conservative pink-haired team-mate. She just kept smiling, teasingly.
He whined.
"Sakura-chyaaaan!"
Naruto was a simple kind of guy.
Sakura knew this.
And she has a feeling Sai knew it too.
