It's pink, bobbing, bright, loud, and annoying. No, it's not Sakura… its Naruto and his dreaded bubblegum.
It's sticky, and sickly sweet, and almost as loud as Naruto when it pops. He chews it quietly, and then makes a big bubble, grinning like a child.
"Want some Sasuke-kun?" he drawls almost sarcastically with his (adorable) fox-like smile. I simply roll my eyes and respond with the everyday "Dobe". He shoots me a half-hearted glare, and returns to blowing the big, round, pink bubbles, allowing them to pop as they grow to a size I didn't think could be obtained in the world of bubble-blowing.
I simply watch, lazily, as his matching pink tongue darts out quickly, teasing me – I swear it's on purpose, as he licks his lips clean of the florescent mess.
I'm frowning slightly now, but thank god, he isn't looking at me – I wouldn't hear the end of it – my eyes are unable to tear away from the sight.
There he goes again… it's getting bigger with each little puff of air he forces into it…
It's going to pop in a moment, and I can't help myself.
I bring my mouth down on it, popping it, leaning in for a kiss.
Maybe the messy, sweet, and sticky candy isn't so bad. Well, at least not when it comes to Naruto - He tasted like bubblegum.
