A/w, English isn't my native language so please don't flame me for typos. Just -kindly- point them out and I'll fix it.

"Speech", 'thoughts'


...Persistency...

In this world, there are things that people are skilled at and other things they are less qualified at doing. The hardest part about this matter is to make the person who is less competent, to realize that, in fact, they suck at it and never ever will be good at it. No matter how many times they try or practice.

Naruto, the obnoxious blond prankster (in his early years) of Konoha, was just one of those persons. He had now spent 7 whole hours in the kitchen, trying, yes trying was the keyword, to cook rice and fry octopus. However, every time it all just ended up being either burnt, uncooked or he would accidentally slip and the food would fall to the floor and so it continued. The blond had tried so many times he had almost lost count.

"Fuck! The octopus was over fried to death again!" Naruto sighed as he tossed the very well fried food into the trashcan to later start over, to prepare a new portion.

Sasuke, the ex-avenger (with-a-stick-up-his-arse) and boyfriend of Naruto, had tried plenty of times to tell his lover that it just was not his thing to cook. However, it had not come as a shock as the dumb blond only waved his hand in the air dismissively, and then continued ruining their groceries. After all, he was pretty dense.

"Naruto that was your 37th try at making that dish! I'm hungry, can't you just let me do it instead?! I haven't eaten anything today seeing as you took over the kitchen at six o'clock this morning!" Sasuke said in an almost whiny voice.

Naruto turned around to face his lover, sporting an angry glare. "Stop exaggerating! This isn't the 37th try! Maybe the 27th but not 37th…" The last was said in a whisper. "Anyway, if you're hungry, go order home delivery or something! I'm not going to give trying until I succeed and until then, the kitchen is mine!"

Sasuke sighed at his lover's fire for cooking. Why, why had he brought up the blond's lack of cooking the day before?! How stupid could one get? He knew that if Naruto ever decided upon one thing, he never backed down until he had mastered whatever he wanted to master. Why had he yelled at him for never doing any cooking when he knew Naruto sucked at it?! 'Stupid, stupid, stupid!' He scolded himself and hung his head with defeat. He would leave Naruto to continue waste time, money and food. Because now, he would go order delivery…
