I'll try and keep my updates frequent as I can, depending on how busy I am... ^^;; So most likely updates will take me from a couple days... to weeks... and if I am completely swamped with stuff maybe a month... Hopefully it happen...

Chapter 2: At the Ramen Shop

~~~~~~~~ `

`

`

` The spiky blond boy sat himself on one of the stools at the ramen shop. The owner immediately turned around, feeling a customer's presence. Smiling, he saw that it was his most frequent visitor. The blond smiled back at the owner. `

`

`

`

` "Back again, eh Naruto?" The owner teased. `

`

`

`

` "Yeah, you bet!" Naruto smirked. `

`

`

`

` "Well then, what kind of ramen do you want today?" He asked, throwing a tattered cloth over his shoulder and awaited Naruto's answer. `

`

`

`

` "I think I'll have miso ramen today!" Naruto finally said after a long pause of thinking. `

`

`

`

` "Alright then. Coming right up." The man nodded and turned to one of the employees who already started making the ramen. `

`

`

`

`

The blond waited for his favorite to cook while he leaned back, nearly falling off the stool. His thoughts were on a certain arrogant, raven haired boy. Maybe he should have asked him to join him, though its not like he really expected to get a reaction. Sasuke probably would have raised an eyebrow and questioned the blond. Like he was expecting Naruto to poison the ramen. Though Naruto never would do such a thing. It actually made him sad when he thought that the onyx eyed boy would think something like that.

` `

`

`

` Of course he never would really understand what ever did go on in that Uchiha boy's mind. `

`

`

`

`

` His deep thoughts were soon interrupted when he heard the a bowl being placed in front of him. The alluring scent of Ramen filled the air. `

`

`

` "Oh, arigato!" Naruto thanked the owner and soon dug into the ramen, slurping up the noodles fast. `

`

`

`

` "Heh, you sure have an appetite, Naruto." The owner joked. ` `

`

`

`

` "Yep!" Naruto managed to say between slurps. `

`

`

`

` "Oi..." An voice spoke from behind. Naruto turned his head to see Sasuke standing behind him, staring at him, not in the same usual cold glances that he would get from him. `

`

`

` "...What do you want?" Naruto growled, knowing that Sasuke was probably just there to mess with his head, or make some wise crack... `

`

`

`

`

`

` "Can...can I join you?" He muttered looking down at his feet. `

` The blonde's eyes widened. 'What did he just say?' `

`

`

`

` The onyx-eyed youth looked up after not getting an answer from the younger boy. Naruto's mouth was open wide with a ramen noodle was hanging out. He sighed and turned to leave after still not getting an answer from the blond. ` `

`

`

` "You like ramen?" Naruto finally blurted out, not knowing what else to say. He didn't want Sasuke to leave, or deny him any food. I mean HE had to eat too, right? `

`

`

`

` Sasuke turned around and saw Naruto fiddling with his chopsticks. His face turned a light shade of pink as he said just above a whisper, `

`

`

` "I haven't really tried it before..." ` ` `

`

` Naruto's eyes widened for the second time that day. ` `

`

` "YOU HAVEN'T TRIED RAMEN BEFORE?!" The blonde shouted as loud as he could, nearly falling off his chair. He stared at the older youth, completely dumbfounded. `

`

`

` "...Well... not really...once maybe...but it was a long time ago..." Sasuke turned a deeper shade of pink. `

`

`

` "Oi! Old man, get Sasuke-baka some ramen!" Naruto ordered to the ramen owner `

`

`

` "Naruto, don't call me old man." He hissed. Naruto just chuckled and turned to Sasuke who was still standing there. `

`

`

`

` "C'mon take a seat, I don't bite." He smiled. 'Hard...' he chuckled mentally. The cerulean-eyed boy patted the top of the seat next to him. Sasuke hesitantly sat down. `

`

`

` "Naruto, what kind ramen does your friend want?" The owner asked, tapping his foot. Naruto shrugged and turned to Sasuke. `

`

`

` "Ah... what did you get, Naruto?" Sasuke asked.

`

`

`

` "Miso ramen." `

`

`

`

` "I'll have that then..." Sasuke said. He was being rather shy, but why? It was just Naruto... Oh yeah that's why. Maybe it was the way that the blond could look at you and makes you feel warm inside. A look that could put a smile even on the most evil, cold-hearted people... Maybe that's why.... `

`

`

`

` Sasuke shook his head. He couldn't be thinking like that, the blonde was right next to him. The raven-haired teen smirked, earning a glance from the blonde. `

`

`

`

` "What's with the smirk Sasuke?" Naruto asked curiously. `

` "Nothing..." Sasuke said a little too quickly. 'Dammit, I have got stop showing my emotions on my sleeve...' Sasuke mentally kicked himself. `

`

`

`

` "You're acting stranger than usual, Sasuke-baka. Did your fan club not come visit you today?" Naruto teased. `

`

`

`

` "Shut up, dobe!" Sasuke hissed, glaring his icy black eyes at the blond. Naruto just laughed and started shoving ramen in his mouth again. `

`

`

`

`

`

A few moments later the owner handed Sasuke his bowl of ramen. Naruto handed him some chopsticks and nodded to him. `

`

`

`

`

` "Its really good! You'll love it!" Naruto grinned. `

`

`

`

`

` "..." Sasuke took some noodles with his utensils and brought them to his lips. He could smell the miso flavoring emitting from the ramen. The smell reminded him of Naruto. But he guessed that was no surprise since the blonde seemed to have ramen every day. He began eating the noodles. To his surprise, they were much tastier than he had expected. He savored every bite before scooping more into his mouth. `

`

`

`

`

`

` Naruto smiled and finished his ramen up. He paid the owner and waited for Sasuke to finish up his meal. Maybe they could just walk home together or something... ` `

`

`

` Just as Naruto thought that, something came across his mind. `

`

`

`

` 'Where does Sasuke live?' He asked himself. The obstinate teen never had spoken of where he lived to anyone, not even now did he speak of where he lived... ` `

`

`

`

` This was going to be on the blonde's mind for a while now. He glanced over to Sasuke who was just finishing up his meal. The dark haired boy reached into his back pocket when he suddenly felt a hand on his. `

`

`

`

` "I'll pay this time, but you owe me." Naruto grinned and set some money down on the counter for the owner to grab. `

`

` `

`

'This isn't like the Naruto I know...' Sasuke thought. 'I wonder if that training today messed up his head...wait, why is he looking at me like that?'

`

`

`

`

`

`

`
