Warnings: Slight shonen ai. It's there if you look for it at the very end.
Typical
A slight disturbance in the air was all the warning Naruto had of the approaching kunai. It was really only reflex honed from years of experience that allowed him to avoid the attack, just as it was only reflex to reply to his assailant in kind. He could feel the pure adrenaline pump through his veins at the thought of his opponent and the all out war that would doubtlessly ensue.
The feral grin was inevitable, and the blonde knew better than to try and restrain it. The ground would be painted in the dark tones of life and death. His body tensed as his opponent finally tired of throwing kunai and faced him; eyes reflecting the same thirst for battle Naruto knew must adorn his own face.
Naruto didn't know who threw the first punch. He knew nothing beyond flesh striking flesh, and the knowledge that he couldn't lose. Not this time. The ferocity behind the blows grew as the parties fought on. Sweat and blood intertwined as they trickled down skin. Amidst the reign of blows being showered on him, Naruto saw the chance he had been waiting for.
Catching the fist thrown at his face, Naruto snapped his leg into the momentarily unguarded stomach of his counterpart. With a grace that would have escaped him four years prior, the blonde capitalized on the ensuing stumble and had his opponent face down eating dirt in seconds. Using his superior weight, Naruto pinned the slighter man, and managed to hold him despite the almost desperate flailing of limbs.
"Give it up dickhead!" Naruto's voice echoed through the strangely silent clearing. "Say it! I win!"
A moment passed. The flailing stopped. Two muffled words escaped the captives mouth.
"What was that?" Naruto crowed, mischief and no small amount of pride leaking into his words. Shoving the heavy blond off of him, Sasuke scowled and pushed himself to his feet.
"You know what I said dobe." he ground out through clenched teeth. "I. Lose."
A wild whoop escaped Naruto's lips as he jumped to his own feet, shrugging off his own exhaustion. After the mandatory victory dance, the blonde grabbed Sasuke's hand and began to drag him off toward Kohona.
"Damn right you lose" he exclaimed, pulling the raven haired boy along with renewed vigour. "When ramen is on the line, I always win!" He glanced back for a moment, just long enough to show a bright smile.
"I hope you brought your wallet bastard, I'm starving!"
Resigned, Sasuke allowed himself to be led toward Ichiraku. And if he forgot to forcibly remove his hand from the blondes, there was no one around to catch his mistake.
