X. Lollipop
Most of the time, when you think of lollipops, you think of little kids with scabs on their knees and dirt on their faces.
When Sakura had a lollipop in her mouth, however, Naruto found himself thinking of things that could get him into a heap of trouble if they were aired out.
Which is why he never said a word on these occasions, and looked anywhere but at her.
This time, though, she'd taken matters into her own hands and started sucking on the lollipop--cherry flavored--while she was sitting on top of him in bed, and once he'd gotten a single glimpse, he couldn't close his eyes.
"I like this brand," she said, and licked a circle around it. "It has a bit of a tang. Want a taste?"
Resolutely, Naruto shook his head, mouth clamped tightly shut. Oh, he wanted a taste, all right, and more than that besides.
Sakura raised an eyebrow. "Suit yourself." She licked it again, slowly, her gaze fixed on his.
And Naruto snapped.
She never got the chance to finish the lollipop, because he plucked it out of her hand, tossed it over the side of the bed without caring where it landed--though Sakura would care later, seeing as how lollipops are sticky--and wrestled her beneath him.
His self-control only stretched so far...but it was the lollipop's fault, anyway.
