Theme ( 038 ): Ramen
: Sincerely – Yvette

"But, Sakura-cha~an!"

"No."

"C'mon!"

"I said, no."

"You've gotta let me—"

"No!"

Sakura stared at the single instant-ramen cup and chopsticks, as well as her very persistent, annoying teammate. Her very forgetful, damned stupid teammate.

If it wasn't enough that they were both hungry – hungrier than hungry – they only had one set chopsticks. She would be sure to knock him senseless as soon as they found out how to share properly. As hungry as she was, though, Sakura was not cruel enough to take advantage of the selfless blond and eat his idea of a divine cuisine right in front of him.

But she wasn't stupid, either. No way in hell was she going to let him feed her.

"Sakura-chan! It's my gratitude for the time you fed me at Ichiraku when I couldn't use my hand!"

"I'm not disabled. I can very well feed myself, Naruto. Now hand me those chopsticks!"

"But I want to! C'mon," he said, his voice getting relatively sly, his eyes narrowing. "No one's watching."

Quickly, the smug look on his face faded when Sakura glared at him, snapping forward for the chopsticks. When he leaned back to dodge her, she forced back an angry scream with a growl.

"Naruto, I'm warning you."

"Sakura-chan, just let me do it. The faster you agree, the faster we get to eat!"

Maybe she wasn't cruel enough to eat in front of him – but she was, however, mean enough to threaten him.

"The faster you agree the less pain you'll be in."

He smiled, pissing her off even more when he dipped the chopsticks into the ramen – coiling out a clump of noodles.

"Just once?"

Sakura huffed, gritting her teeth whilst she crossed her arms. The grumble her stomach gave off was enough to make her give in.

"Once. Once, you hear me? Once!"

Just when she thought things couldn't get any worse, he nearly squealed with glee, blowing off the steam. Instantly, her cheeks flushed as Naruto inched closer with the ramen cup in hand.

"Say 'aah', Sakura-chan!"

"Naruto, you better—"

He didn't necessarily shove it into her mouth – but either way, Naruto looked relatively proud with himself. Both because he got his way (again ) and because he managed to silence her bickering.

Besides, he knew she liked it, deep, deep down.

Author's Note: Good morning! ( or afternoon, or evening if the Time Zone varies ) I forgot I even saved this. I wrote it back a few weeks ago after finals ended. I thought it was just so cute, and I was proud of myself for thinking of the idea. When I found it yesterday, automatically I thought: "And I haven't posted this why?"

Leave me something to look forward to read during boring lectures today :D
