Strawberries
By: only-my-will
"Have fun Sasuke!" Naruto shouted. Kakashi and the remainder of the squad walked outside of the small, cramped kitchen. Cooking. Of all the dumb D-ranked missions they had to carry out, this was the lowest of the low. And Sasuke was chosen to do it.
"Oh, don't worry Sasuke, it is only cooking." Kakashi had said.
Well, it was giving Sasuke a headache having to read the instructions for a perfect, Strawberry Cream Pie. "Ok, to get started then. A cup of strawberries. Why does that not seem like enough to me?" He said to himself as he poured a cup of diced strawberries into a bowl.
"Surely it wouldn't hurt if…" And without a second thought, he poured another half cup into the bowl. Next, adding two cups of whipped cream instead of one and two tablespoons of vanilla, he poured the now silky smooth mixture into a grahmcracker crust. "Perfect." He complemented, as he tucked the pie into the refrigerator to cool and set.
"THIS CAN'T BE!" Sasuke thought as he took a slushy and unappetizing pie, if you could even call it that, out of the fridge.
Naruto, wondering if the pie was done yet, wandered into the kitchen. Seeing the mess, he exclaimed, "WHOA! What happened here?"
"This happened…." Sasuke sighed as he sat the pie on the counter. "It's a failure…."
Naruto actually felt for Sasuke then, seeing that even the best of the best weren't perfect. He stuck his finger into the mixture and stuck it in his mouth. Smiling, he scooped some more onto his finger again and stuck that in Sasuke's mouth.
"I actually don't think its half bad Sasuke! See, it's good!"
Naruto's finger got cut on one of Sasuke's teeth and he quickly withdrew his hand. He was just about to lick the blood of his finger, when Sasuke did it for him.
"Actually, I think you taste better than any strawberry."
And then, he smiled.
