Summary: "Uh, what just happened?" "I dunno, but I think they just got engaged." sasusaku rated T for language and sexual innuendos
Disclaimer: If Naruto was made of ramen and I was a duck… Wait. No. I just don't own Naruto, so shut the hell up. Nah, just kidding. I just don't own him.
Inspiration: "I could tell you that I want to be a wife, I'd take a vow, take a bullet, take a life. It's beautiful, but compared to how I love you, it's stale and stupid and it's all been said enough" from Words by Anna Nalick from her upcoming album Broken Dolls and Odds and Ends

"Oi Sasuke-teme, grab a stool and order some ramen, I'm starving!"
Sakura flushed as her longtime boyfriend smacked their mutual friend upside the head and took the seat next to her. "Hey, stranger," she said softly, smiling at him in a loving way. "Where've you been?"
"Oh, you know, running errands, making plans." He ordered a miso ramen bowl and still managed to catch the annoyed glance she threw his way. However, he chose to ignore it and instead leaned over her to scowl at Naruto. "How many bowls have you eaten so far? I can only see five. Surely you're just getting warmed up?"
"No!" Naruto grinned sheepishly. "Ayame-san said that they were taking up too much counter space and she took them into the back."
"Actually, what she said was that there were no clean bowls left, and if he wanted more ramen, she would have to wash them first," Sakura corrected, not taking her eyes off Sasuke. "What's that in your pocket?" she asked suspiciously, pointing at the obvious lump in his dark Jonin pants.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow at her and smirked. "I'm just that happy to see you?" he offered up in a low, sexy voice.
She wasn't going to give in to that… Again. "Bullshit. That lump is much much much too large to be that." She smiled sweetly as Naruto, who hadn't heard what she said but knew by her tone that she was teasing Sasuke, laughed uproariously.
Her boyfriend blushed just the slightest bit, but to her surprise, he didn't immediately refute her jab at his male pride. Instead, quite suddenly, he reached into the pocket in question and turned towards her simultaneously. Her smile disappeared as she saw exactly what the object was and her breath caught on a gasp.
At that point, they were joined by Ino and her exhausted team just getting back from a mission, and as they exchanged greetings with Naruto and took the only empty seats available, Ino eyed her friend, taking note of the shocked expression on her face. In a move quite out of character for her, she kept silent and just watched as Sakura smiled, nodded, and reached up to kiss her boyfriend full on the lips. After a good thirty seconds, they pulled back and turned back to their food with identical goofy smiles on their faces.
"Hey Forehead!" Ino finally spoke up, causing the two grinning fools to turn her way. "Mind if I take a look?" she asked with a grin, holding up her hand and waggling her fingers. Sakura blushed and shook her head vehemently. "I have no idea-" she began, then abruptly shut her mouth.
Blue eyes twinkling with amusement, Ino stood and, suddenly filled with a boisterous energy, grabbed her friend's unoccupied hand and pulled her out into the street. "Be back soon, guys!" she called behind her, ignoring the pink-haired girl's quiet protests. It was quite unnecessary, however, for not five seconds later they heard Ino scream, "Oh my gosh, it's beautiful, that guy is loaded, can I try it on-" and then they all winced at the sound of Sakura's fist striking flesh before she yelled, "No you cannot, you pig! Let go of my precious!"
Sasuke sighed and went to go break up the fight. Naruto, Shikamaru, and Chouji, who were smart enough to cower on their stools, listened to the shouts and sounds of fighting until Chouji turned to Naruto and said, "Uh, what just happened?"
Naruto shrugged his shoulders. "I dunno, but I think they just got engaged."
"Oh." Chouji nodded, then pointed to Sasuke's unfinished bowl. "You gonna eat that?"
"Yes! Get your grubby hands off of it!"
"I haven't touched it yet!"
As the two struggled over the bowl of lukewarm ramen, Shikamaru lazily lit up a cigarette and took a leisurely drag from it, using Naruto's completely full bowl as an ashtray. "Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one with a brain," he commented aloud to himself.
I could tell you that I want to be a wife
I'd take a vow, take a bullet, take a life
It's beautiful but compared to how I love you
It's stale and stupid and it's all been said enough
Haha, I love Anna Nalick, what can I say? I cannot WAIT for this album! And I realize I haven't updated in a while, I'm on a limited computer schedule, so the only time I ever WILL update is on the weekends, and I'm sad to say that I'm not consistent. But anyway, please enjoy. I realize that the words were never actually said in the story like my other three previous drabbles, but it seemed sort of long, ya know? Peace out, Cub Scout.
