Sasuke hurried to Ichiraku, right on the dot, Naruto was a couple of minutes late though. Naruto waved a humble hell when appearing. "Sasuke! Glad you showed up!"

"Yeah, yeah..." Sasuke could only think of how, really, Naruto wanted Sakura to be there instead of him. "So you got rejected again Naruto?" Sasuke asked passively. Naruto replied with a mouth full of noodles. "Mmrm-hmm? Nm-yeah, but you just have to keep trying! Uh what about you Sasuke? Have anyone you like?" The Uchiha blushed at the question, nervously squirming in his chair. "Um well...y-yeah, but they're erm...oblivious to it...and well, all I really want is..." Naruto placed his firm hand on Sasuke's shoulder, squeezing, asking a curious, "What?" Urging the Uchiha to continue. Sasuke tensed at Naruto's strong grip, blushing even more. "...for um...them to hold me...to be held in their arms..." 'Gah...that sounds so stupid...still...'

"Naruto..." Sasuke's eyes were tinged with a sweetness, softly looking at Naruto, he began leaning in closer..."Huh? Do you want another bowl or something?" The Uchiha practically fell out of his seat, his eye twitching, and a scornful glare piercing into the blonde. 'T-this baka!' Naruto backed away some, unsure of what he did to make the raven angry. "W-what? Did I say something?" 'I can't believe he didn't pick up any of those hints...and he completely ruined the moment!' Naruto recieved a smack across the face. "You are s-so c-clueless!"

"What was that for teme!" Naruto ruffled his hair in confusion. 'What does he mean by clueless?'
