Sakura had always been aware of those naïve hints of knowledge and behavior squeezed between the stubborn, assertive ways of her beloved teammate.
He always saw the world, just as you would expect a child- - -an academy student to. It was nothing but fun and games; fair and unfair, sharing is caring while acting selfish onto your own part, pouting when things didn't go your way. Then those unforgettable gleams of heavenly pleasure, comparable to those of a toddler with a bag of candy set in front of them, whenever she bribed him with perhaps, ramen, or something in his own range of likes ( not that any were able to overwrite his adoration for the classical dish known as instant ramen).
Sometimes she even found the inner child within him to be rather, cute in one way or the other.
He could usually get his way with her; all it took was a few temperamental whines here and there, some persistence, a few 'but Sakura-chan's, and that final cherry on top: that stupid pout combined with eyes big and full, traced with a tropical sheen from what one would imagine to be the ocean.
Yes, these were the common ways of this Uzumaki.
All the more, it only reassured her of who this credulous fool was. This was Uzumaki Naruto, the boy- - -man, who she had grown beyond close and familiar with. This was who her best friend, male friend, was. A young, hyperactive Shinobi with the age of eighteen, striving with her to bring back a lost teammate. That stupid, persistent fool who always got his way.
"Sakura-cha~an! Just this once! I promise! Just please, please—"
"Fine, fine! Just shut up already, you're attracting attention you dumbass!"
He always got his way.

Author's Note: So, I didn't think it would be very nice to upload this thing with a single chapter. It's a drabble series, for Jesus' sake ! That would be cruel ! So, instead I went ahead and provided you four more chapters, just to be nice. Go on, knock yourself out for today. (;
( The drabbles will be all under 1000 words by the way. Not 500 like I would prefer, cos' I always find myself going over a few . . . Oh, and for any of you who were wondering, that little symbol that comes after the theme and my penname, will always be the theme. Why Japanese, you ask ? Well, because I feel like it. )
