Lollipop

- - - - - - - - - - - -

The blond cast a bemused look at his lollipop, at a complete loss. He'd already been chewed out by Tsunade-baba for bringing his cup ramen inside her office. He didn't want to go through that three-hour hell again.

His problem was that this was his favorite flavor, made by his absolute favorite candy factory and it was huge, half the size of his fist. He'd been happily savoring it for an hour already and it was still the same size. It probably had a good half-day in it. Throw in the fact that he rarely ever had this yummy treat because it was never in the stores, and that clinched it. He didn't want to throw his prize away just because the evil woman said so.

And therefore, the solution was to find someone to hold it. It had to be someone he super trusted, someone who wouldn't finished the sugary goodness of his super special lollipop, and who wouldn't throw it away unless they wanted to face a very angry and sugar-deprived Naruto.

He walked looked over to the large office down below, quietly contemplating while tapping the sticky green candy against his lips. Who could it be…?

Not Shikamaru, he thought as he saw the spiky haired jounin walk past. He'd say it was too troublesome and throw it away, and then he'd be too hard to beat because he thought too much and that wouldn't do because it wouldn't get his lollipop back and get him tired.

Not Kiba. He'd throw it away too, just so he could piss him off.

Not Chouji. No way.

Not Gaara. He'd throw his yummyness away just so he would face an angry and sugar-deprived Naruto and he'd just end up tired and beaten up, not like he wouldn't beat Gaara up too, but that was the point, they'd both be beaten up and tired and grouchy and he still wouldn't have his lollipop.

Not Neji. If he gave it to Neji, then Neji would throw it away, and then he would get angry at Neji, then he wouldn't be fighting Neji, he'd be fighting Gaara, and it'd end up the same as if he'd given his lollipop to Gaara instead of Neji, and he'd never give his lollipop to Gaara because…

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a familiar figure, and he turned around completely. The figure passed him, engrossed in a report. He grinned.

"Oi, Sasuke!"

The brunette stopped then turned slowly, eyes rising from the paper and mouth opening to from the words "Wha--"

There was a blur of speed as something was shoved into his mouth, and then the blond kissed him happily on the corner of his mouth before moving towards an opened door. He paused, looked over his shoulder and shot him a smile. "Hold it for me, 'kay?"

He disappeared. His dazed lover was left standing in the hallway, the warm, sweet taste of apple and Naruto in his mouth.

Not up to par with my other stories, but I thought it was cute and wanted to post it as soon as possible. It's hurriedly written, as I don't have enough time, so it doesn't flow the way it's supposed to.
