Title: Choices
Characters: Naruto
Rating: G
Summary: It's an awful thing, inevitability.
The Ichiraku Ramen Stall holds a special place in Naruto's heart. And stomach.
As far as he's concerned, there's no better place to have his final meal. So he slips in, grinning cheerfully and making a good old-fashioned ruckus, and with his shock of sunny hair and pressed periwinkle eyes, there's really no mistaking him, even though the orange jumpsuit's long been replaced.
When he leaves, the old man brandishes his wok and yells after him, "Go get 'em, eh?"
Naruto beams and gives his usual reply. "Sure thing, pops."
He's sick of ramen, these days.
