There is Tenderness

Prompt: Oddity

Words: 142

Sasuke had never been the kind of cat who rushed through his food. He didn't chomp obnoxiously the way Akamaru or Pakkun did, and Naruto couldn't remember the last time he had choked in haste to fill his tummy. No, the way Sasuke handled his meals bordered on delicate; lapping at the wet food leisurely between slow, quiet crunches of kitty kibble.

"You like that? Huh, sweetie?" Naruto cooed, bringing a hand to his cat's back and stroking gently. A purr rumbled beneath his palm and the blond couldn't help but smile. Sasuke was always affectionate at dinnertime.

And so Naruto remained by Sasuke's side while he ate, running his fingers over sleek fur and lean muscle. Feeding time was—and would remain—one of their favorite parts of the day.

It wasn't long before the small ceramic dish was empty again.


Chapters eight and nine to be uploaded once I wake up (as it's about midnight where I live). If you could, please take just a moment to review and let me know what you think.

Thanks for reading!
