Raven looked good for somebody her age, Naruto would give her that for sure.

Her body was toned, not an ounce of unneeded or unattractive fat on her body. She kept herself trained, while also maintaining both wide hips and large breasts without letting her hips become too wide, or her breasts sag with her age. The woman took generally good care of herself for a bandit, one would think she would go periods of time without bathing thanks to that, but she smelled very nice as well.

She had a happy smile on her face, which according to Qrow almost never happened.

She had sarcastic smiles, angry smiles, bloodthirsty smiles, and proud smiles, but happy smiles was something that people said Raven forgot how to do.

"What is your favorite place to eat Summer, my treat." Raven spoke as she walked hand in hand with Naruto.

It was a normal part of a date.

"Well I like-"

"Wait, wait, let me take a guess... you want ramen from the noodle shop. The one that the Old Man runs nearby here, correct?" Raven asked with a smile on her face. She of course knew what Naruto, and surprisingly it was Summer's favorite noodle place, to eat was. "Don't be so nervous, I'm not going to bite you." Raven could see that Naruto was nervous, she knew his nervous face well enough.

It was the same as Summer's nervous face, both of them had the habit of biting their lower lip and glancing to the right when they were nervous.

Naruto took a breath.

Right, he was suppose to make Raven happy during this date. He had to pretend to be his mother, and fufill Raven's rather twisted fantasies, to grant her the closure that she truly needed.

"That's right, you don't bite, you peck." Naruto joked with Raven like how he believed his mother would have. She was always friendly with everyone, and with a bird name he was sure that his mother would have made some pecking jokes about Raven. "I want to go to your favorite place, what do you like?" Naruto requested of her, and Raven blinked, before she nodded with a smaller smile on her face.

Wow... Naruto was really good at pretending to be his mother.

"Well Summer, I do know there is a small sushi place around here, but they use a lot of shellfish in their meals. I don't want you to have an allergic reaction. Anyway, the noodle stand is right there." Raven knew that Naruto had an allergy to shellfish, so she wouldn't put him at risk and take him to a place with a ton of what he was allergic to. Even if she was pretending that he was Summer, and she planned on treating him like Summer the entire date, she wouldn't put his health at risk for her own fantasies.

She did genuinely care about him as a person, and didn't want him to die just for her own goals.

"... You know, I don't actually know a lot about you." Naruto spoke as they sat down together, and Raven didn't change her face too much.

Her aura seemed a little more stiff.

"I'm not that interesting. Old Man, large bowl... for two." Raven added when she realized that she could make it a little more romantic if they shared the bowl. The Old Man nodded his head, and in the time that one would take to blink there was a large ramen bowl sitting between them.

The old man worked faster than anyone else that Raven knew... and the man owned more shops in Vale than any CEO that she could name. She knew he owned an arcade, several dust shops, several utility stores, military stores, and plenty more.

"Thanks Old Man." Naruto waved at the man as he went back into the kitchen... and then proceeded to peek out of the kitchen and watch them.

Okay, so the Old Man was a little perverted, judging via the blush on his cheeks.

"You know, this was where Summer... the real Summer and I became friends." Raven told Naruto as she looked towards some of the photos on the walls. She saw a picture of her and Summer both working together to complete one of the food challenges that the shop used to offer. The challenge was a super-heated food challenge, where the Old Man would put his secret Hell-Sauce into the broth. "... We ended up completing the Hell-Sauce challenge together." Raven explained as she picked up her chopsticks and broke them apart.

Naruto raised an eyebrow.

He looked over to the picture that Raven had stared at, and he could see a sweating Summer and Raven with an empty bowl in front of them. Both of them had teary eyes, red faces, and slightly swollen lips, but they were smiling together at the completed challenge.

"... Can we get Hell-Sauce?" Naruto asked the listening Old Man.

Like magic, the Old Man was in front of them, with a bottle of Hell-Sauce. He placed the bottle down, before he zipped back into the kitchen. Naruto picked up the bottle and started to pour it into the broth. Raven didn't stop him, but she did smile to herself when she saw that he was willing to allow her to travel down memory lane using him as a Summer proxy.

"This stuff, surprisingly, hurts worse coming out... so it might not be a good idea to do this." Raven mentioned with a slightly... nervous tone when she remembered how much suffering she went through the last time she ate it. She could remember how much burning and hell she went through because of it.

"Aaaaah."

Raven smiled when Naruto turned to her with an open mouth. Okay, so she wouldn't mind suffering so much if she could do it after this date.

"Okay, be warned though." Raven stated as she took the broth-soaked noodles and let him slurp them up.

...

"HOT!?" Naruto slammed his face into the counter several times, his hands shooting up to his mouth when he felt the intense burning sensation go down his throat. Raven laughed when she saw that familiar reaction.

"HOT!?" Summer screamed as she slammed her face into the counter nearly ten times, her hands covering her face. "Tasty." Summer stated when she recovered.

Raven just giggled to herself when she saw Naruto calm down, taking his hands off of his mouth to show slightly red lips. Naruto stuck his tongue out and poked it, before sucking it back in and smiling.

"Tasty..." Naruto spoke after recovering from his experience. "Oh, and what did you mean by 'hurts more coming out'?" Naruto asked her in confusion, since he never really heard that phrase before.

Raven blinked.

Right, she forgot that his body didn't produce waste thanks to his condition. His body was physically incapable of eating enough for his body to create waste. All of the food he ate went towards helping to mature his aura, and attempt to mature his body. Part of the reason he was so tiny was because of the fact he wasn't capable of eating enough to supply his body with the nutrients he needed to grow. He had literally gone his entire life without needing to use the bathroom to do anything but take a leak.

"Nothing important, aaah." Raven was willing to suffer with Naruto, so she opened her mouth and let him feed her.

Dear god, this was embarrassing for her, but it was a date and she wanted to do date-like things. She didn't even remember the last time she had been on an actual date with anyone. She had always focused so much of her life towards her goals, that she never really stopped to make herself feel like a romantic woman. It was a nice change of pace.

Hot!

Okay, she remembered why she never ate this again after she ate it with Summer.

"This stuff is really good... I can taste... Atlas Geist Reaper... several herbs from Mistral that cause the tongue to taste spice more intensely... oh, and I can taste a little bit of Basil and Lemon." Naruto licked his lips and got some of the remainder of it off of them. Raven covered her mouth with her hands with eyes shut clothed. She waved her head back and forth, almost crying out in actual pain.

It fucking HURT going in!

How did Summer/Naruto handle this so well!?

She grabbed her milk from the counter, and down the entire thing with a single go. She slammed it down on the table, before she nodded to the Old Man to refill her. She took the chopsticks from Naruto and decided that maybe she would eat her fill at the movies instead. She could get popcorn and snacks there... leave the spicy stuff to the people who could handle it better.

'I've lost all my tolerance to spice.' Raven thought as she watched Naruto handle it so much better than she did. Her years of not having food with any spice in it at all had destroyed the resistance that she used to have. Even after the milk, she could still feel it trying to destroy her from the inside out. "You really like spice, huh?" Raven asked with a look towards Naruto, a small smile when she saw him enjoying the food.

He smiled at her.

"It's not that I like spicy a lot, but eating this with you is kind of fun." Naruto told Raven, who looked away with burning red cheeks.

"I like spicy a little, but I have a lot more fun eating this with you."

The words Naruto spoke reminded Raven of the words spoken to her by Summer, words that had been filled with such enthusiam and genuine emotion that it was then that Raven first gained a crush on the woman. Raven had hated Summer when they first met, but as they grew as teammates her hate had very quickly turned into something completed different. When she saw Summer's Inner Strength, the strength her son inherited, how could she not fall in love with a strength that she herself could never have.

'I wish I had the strength that people like you and Summer were born with. No matter how strong, or how good at fighting I become... I'm always going to be jealous of the strength that comes so naturally to you two.' Raven thought with soft eyes directed towards the 'Summer' in front of her. She respected strength, determination, and stubborness above all else. If somebody showed her strength, she could show them respect.

The strength Naruto and Summer had... it was a different kind of strength.

"Aren't you going to eat more?" Naruto asked her with a tilted head, and Raven shook her head softly.

"You know Summer, I think you should eat up. You need your energy for later anyway. I'll get some snacks at the movie... I know that the hotel room was part of the agreement... but if you don't want to do it, you don't have to." Raven looked at Naruto seriously. She knew what happened to him was still hurting him, and if he wasn't comfortable with what she wanted, then she was willing to skip the last part of what she wanted for him.

She really didn't want to hurt him.

Raven was surprised when Naruto leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek gently. When Naruto leaned back, she placed her hand on her cheek with a pink dusting on her face.

He was smiling gently at her.

"You need this, I might not be comfortable with it... but I can clearly see that doing this will help heal the wounds your heart has. I don't know you that well, but you're still important to me." Naruto closed his eyes and smiled brightly at Raven. "If this means something to you, then I'll do it for you."

Raven felt pain.

"We haven't been teammates long, but you are still really important to me." Summer spoke with blood going down the side of her face. Her body was covered in dirt, and in her hands was a bird's nest that she had stopped from falling out of a tree. She had forgotten to use her aura to stop herself from getting hurt when she hit the ground. "Birds are important to you, so I'll protect them for you when you can't."

Raven rubbed her eyes and stopped any tears from coming out, because she knew that she was going to cry if she kept thinking about it so much.

He truly was just like his mother.

"Are you okay?" Naruto asked her in concern, and she nodded her head.

"The spice is still getting to me is all, came back for round two." Raven made herself the best excuse she could think of for why she had almost cried. She didn't want anyone, Summer or Naruto included, to see her weak crying face. She would rather they see her strong faces, the faces that showed she was in control of herself and others.

She couldn't look weak in front of the people she respected most.
