The glow of the camp fire lights the small clearing as Team 7 make rest for the night. Kakashi reads up on the branch of a tree as he waits for dinner to be made. Naruto has plopped upon the dusty earth and is staring at the flickering flame in excitement.
Sakura on the other hand, watches dubiously.
"Are you sure you don't want me to do that?" The pinkette questions with a raised brow.
"Shut it." Sasuke growls, holding the vegetable over the fire. How hard can it be to cook a potato? Even the Dobe has done it on occasion.
"Oh boy! I'm starving Teme, I can't wait." The blonde exclaims, leaning back and rubbing his stomach in a large circular motion.
"You may be waiting all night." Sakura says to the boy beside her and Sasuke's eye practically twitches.
"Why do you think I'll fail?" The Uchiha questions tersely with intense coal eyes glowing with the light of the fire.
"Because you can't boil water!" The woman exclaims, and her hand moves at the same time. She can't help but gesture with her hands when her boys are being stupid.
"Even I can boil water Teme." Naruto points out, and the glare that is sent his way makes him snicker.
"Do you want the first potato?" Sasuke threatens and the foxy grin rescinds immediately.
"Gomen Teme. Sakura-chan why do you have to be so mean?" The 19 year old asks, conveniently changing his tune.
Sakura just shakes her head. She sees how it is…
"Here." The raven haired Uchiha states, bringing the skewer from the fire and passing it to Naruto. The slightly charred potato looks pretty good and the blonde titters excitedly.
Until he takes a bite…
"Teme!" Naruto yowls, rubbing his jaw. "This isn't cooked." He whines, and for a grown man, the nin truly looks like a child.
"For fuck sake." Sasuke grouses, ripping the object from his friend's hand and taking in a moderate breath. In the next moment a puff of flame leaves his mouth and the potato makes a squeaking noise as it is rapidly baked.
Passing it back with a narrowed gaze, Naruto takes it with a put out expression. The blonde turns to Sakura with sad blue eyes and says,
"You have it Sakura-chan." His head hangs slightly and Sakura has to hold back a giggle.
"What's wrong with it now?!" The raven haired man sounds pissed, despite keeping a level tone.
"It's got your germs all over it and since Sakura-chan likes your germs, she can have this one." Naruto explains like it is the most obvious thing in the world.
"Starve then." Sasuke growls, before getting up and stalking away. Both sitting shinobi swear they hear a Fuck this uttered but his tone is too low to tell.
"Will you make me one?" The childish hero implores and as Sakura swallows her first bite she nods.
"Alright." Looking over to the distance the medic says in a low whisper, "You know, this is pretty good."
Still, Sasuke's bat hearing wins out again as a - "I heard that" is echoed from the darkness.
At least they have fun…
