Trees and ramen

"Come back here!"

"Daddy! Help me!" Minato raised his head over his book. Right as he did, a blonde blur passed by him, stopping behind his chair.

No sooner than the yellow blur appeared, a red one came to his vision. He smiled hopelessly at the scene in front of him.

The blonde came to his left arm and clutched to it tightly. "Mommy is making me eat green trees!"

"Green...trees?" He asked asked amusely.

The boy frantically shook his head. "And they are baby ones! We're supposed to let them live and grow!"

The handsome blonde looked to the red woman in front of him, breathing heavily. "Young man, you better eat you're veggies or no ramen for a week!"

The blonde shrieked and climbed into Minato's lap. "I don't want to eat trees!"

Kushina was about to take a step forward before Minato laughed. She frowned even more. "What's so funny?"

He tried to control himself but couldn't. The boy looked at him confused also. "It's just-" he laughed a little more, "I just wonder where he got the trees from."

Kushina scoffed. "It's broccoli! Of course it looked like trees!"

"It is trees! Pervy sage told me!"

Kushina looked at Minato and he looked at the boy. The boy looked at both of them. "What?"

The red hot habanero slowly walked up to the both of them and swatted so she can be eye level with the cute child in Minato's lap.

"Naruto...did Jiraya really say that?" She asked sweetly.

Naruto, as clueless as he is, jerked his head in agreement. "He also told me it will kill Yamato senpai! Yamato makes the trees but when we eat them, he slowly dies!"

Minato's stifled a laugh which earned a glare from Kushina. She smiled sweetly at her son and sighed. "Alright, you won't have to eat broccoli-"

"Trees."

"Yes trees tonight. Now go run along." She stretched her arms and he reached back, leaving the Hokage's lap.

As soon as he ran out, the blonde erupted into a non-stop laughter. Tears sprung from his eyes and he his belly ached from the hard laughter.

Kushina shot daggers at him but he didn't notice. "Just wait till I see him next time. I'll be shoving broccoli into his mouth and other places..."

Minato gasped for air and tried to calm down his hysterical state. He was laughing so hard he couldn't even speak properly. "I-I c-can't believe w-what he said a-about T-tenzo," he sputtered out in pieces.

"I know! That's so rude!"

"It's hilarious!" Minato wiped a tear from his eye. "I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard." He stared at the table for a moment before smiling. "I bet Kakashi was there too." He laughed all over again.

Kushina sighed in frustration and plopped down on a chair next to Minato. "Now, what am I going to do? What's he going to say next? He can't eat carrots or bunnies won't have enough food to feed the bunnies and they'll go instinct?"

Minato chuckled. "Him and his imagination."

She raised a brow. "What if I told him ramen noodles were to turn into worms inside his belly? He'll never eat ramen again."

Minato smiled. "He'll think it's cool."

She sighed again. "You're right."

The blue eyed shinobi stood and came behind her chair, leaning in on her. "Relax, he'll mature out of it soon."

Kushina gave out a small smile. "Yea he will, 'tattebayo."

"Good." He pecked her cheek. "I'm starving. Do you think you have edible trees somewhere? Or should I just go out for ramen?"

"Oh no you don't." She stood and turned to him, making him stand straight from his previous position. "You're eating trees tonight and no ramen." She pouted. "Though I want some soooo badly."

Minato came close to her and hugged her body to him, her gladly draping her arms across his neck. "Then lets to get some. Naruto's hungry, I'm famished and I'm pretty sure you won't turn down a bowl of ramen." He winked at her.

She smiled helplessly at him. "Ah, you always find an excuse for ramen."

"I guess I do," he said. "But you're cooking could never be turned down. It's the best."

She smiled bigger. "Why thank you, Minato, the cook accepts your compliment."

He smiled at her compliment but his eyes sparked a little brighter than usual. "Have you ever heard the phrase 'Kiss the Cook'?"

She smirked at him. "Why yes I have. Why? The cook has caught your eye?"

Minato leaned in dangerously close."She most certainly has."

"How will your wife agree with this?" She asked playfully as she leaned in as well, his breath tickling her face.

"I think she won't mind," he spoke huskily with a small, sexy smile.

"Good," she whispered and barely before she finished his lips landed on hers. She smiled into his kiss and eagerly kissed back.

They stood there for a moment in each others arm before Minato reluctantly broke off the kiss but his lips stayed millimeters away from hers.

"You should kiss the cook more often, she might be able to prepare something delicious for you."

"Really," he smiled like a teenage boy, "That sounds tempting. But some other time." He placed one more lingering kiss. "Ramen is on the menu."

She smiled at him. "Alright, if you say so. Oh, who shall get the honors?"

Minato looked a little confused before he grinned. "You can do it."

She giggled before standing next to the door that led to the living room. "Oi! Naruto! How does ramen sound for dinner?"

"Yaaaayyy!" Tiny feet stomped from the room.

"Three, two, one..." Kushina jumped at the blur that flew through the door and pinned him down on the floor.

"Ah! I always forget you attack me!"

"That's right! Now it's tickle monster!" She ran her fingers at his ribs and he began squirming and laughing hysterically.

"Mom! Mom, quit-hahahhaha mom!" She blew one big raspberry on his stomach before letting him go.

"Grab your jacket. It's cold outside."

"K, mom!" He dashed back out from where he came from. She sat there and smiled at the door, lost in thoughts.

When a yellow smudge passed her eyes she didn't have time to react. In seconds she was pinned to the ground, a really cute man on top of her.

"Surprise," he grinned.

"Oh, you want to play too, huh?"

"You bet. Get ready for tickle monster."

Kushina's eyes grew wide and before she could protest, he started tickling her.

"Minato! You better stop! Ahh, stop it! Or I will punch you!"

He stopped tickling her but grabbed her arms above her head, making her completely useless. He smiled at her cheekily.

Her eyebrow raised. "What are you going to blow raspberries too?"

"I could but what about butterfly kisses?"

She smiled up at him, but no matter how long they've been married, she couldn't help but give a tiny blush on her cheeks.

"You hopeless romantic."

He chuckled lightly and planted a kiss on her nose. At that moment after his peck, their child rushed in, hair spiked up in different directions and shoes untied. He looked at them confusedly.

Minato looked at Kushina and then at Naruto. He opened his mouth to speak but Naruto beat him to it.

He had a big plastered smile in his face. "Great job dad! Now it's my turn to tickle mommy!"

Kushina gasped and tried to struggle out of his grasp playfully. He didn't budge. Naruto ran up and tickled her to his hearts content.

"Keep tickling her!" Minato commanded.

"No! No! I can't breathe!"

Naruto laughed but stopped and Minato let go of the red beauty. She instantly grabbed Naruto and they all rolled on the ground, laughing.

Minato ruffled Naruto's hair and Kushina planted a kiss on his whiskered cheek.

"Now lets go! I'm starving! Ooh, can I have menma in my ramen?"

"Of course you can son."

"Yea! Lets go!" He stood and took a step forward and more importantly he stepped on an untied shoelace. He flopped to the ground and Minato and Kushina started laughing.

He looked up at them annoyed but soon he smiled and began laughing too.

"Ramen! Here we go!"
