a series of naruto drabbles

hello! first fanfic. i'll be playing around in the naruto universe, mostly with friendships, but if there are pairings it will be mainly naru/hina, sasu/saku, shika/tem, chou/ino, neji/ten, and asu/ku. ummmmm... i'm extremely biased towards naruto and i love him much more than sasuke. consequently, he (naruto) will almost always be portrayed in a better light than him (emo face). i am always open to crack!pairings, though, and i'm open to chucking random OCs in their own fics (they will not interact with the main characters in any way). hmmm. i'll try not to be too pretentious, and instead try to be witty; we'll see how well that turns out... i think that's all. usual disclaimer, lalala.

cutting to the chase/fic, now.

Drabble 1: Pairings: none

Just a Snack

8-year old Naruto struggles up onto a stool at Ichiraku, chest barely topping the counter. "Three pork ramen, gramps!" he calls, and Teuchi smiles, the corners of his eyes crinkling. Ayame sets a large steaming bowl in front of him with a quiet tap. The blond boy claps his hands together, "Itadakimasu~," and digs in.

"What are you here for, sensei?" Ayame asks Iruka, who lets the 'Ichi' flap fall back into place. He grins awkwardly, coloring, and scratches his nose. Naruto looks up at him as he comes up from behind; cheeks bulging with noodles and smiling so big his eyes disappear. Iruka ruffles his student's bedhead and looks up at the young woman.

"Just a snack."
