It's Love
Chapter Four
When Naruto finally stopped dragging Sasuke for what felt like hours, Sasuke wanted to hit the blonde kid. "You really dragged me all the way here to eat?" Sasuke asked as he was pulled into the small Japanese restaurant. "How exactly is this fun?"
Naruto looked at the other boy, truly offended. "How exactly isn't ramen fun? It's like… the food of heaven!" he answered as he dropped down into a booth.
The raven shook his head as he replied, "I'm from Japan. You know that, right? I didn't come to America to continue to eat ramen."
"Aw, come on! Just today."
Sasuke sighed and shook his head again before sitting down. "Whatever, I'll eat, but you'll pay."
The blonde shrugged in response. "Fair enough." After the waitress came over and took their orders, both of them choosing ramen, they sat there waiting in silence.
"Well, you are are fun, I have really been proven wrong," Sasuke snickered.
Naruto glared at the boy across from him. "Hey! I was just hungry! I really can be fun! Unlike you!"
Sasuke scoffed. "Sure you are."
The waitress returned to the table, placing the bowls in front of the two boys, staring at Sasuke the whole time. He raised an eyebrow and stared back at her. Her face turned bright red before she turned and hurried off.
"Well," Naruto began eating, "that was weird." Sasuke shrugged as he took a bite, not really fazed at all. Within about two minutes, Naruto had already finished eating his ramen and was watching the other boy, who had barely eaten anything yet, slowly eat.
"Do you have to stare?" Sasuke questioned the blonde.
"Yep," Naruto answered bluntly, smirking.
"No, I think—"
"I won't live," Naruto cut him off, predicting what he would say, "I'll die. I really will!" He fell over the table dramatically without breaking eye contact. Sasuke rolled his eyes and continued to eat, ignoring Naruto, who continued to stare.
Once they both had finished eating, the waitress had come back over and dropped a piece of paper in front of Sasuke. Sasuke, assuming it was the bill, picked it up at tossed it in front of Naruto. "N-no!" the waitress shouted, reaching for it and giving it back to Sasuke before dropping the actual bill in the middle of the table.
Sasuke furrowed his eyebrows in confusion then looked at the paper. The waitress was shifting around awkwardly, blushing, and Naruto quickly pulled out the money and placed it on the bill. "Uh…" Sasuke didn't know what to say as he stared at the girl's name and phone number written on the page.
"What is it?" Naruto asked, noticing how clearly uncomfortable Sasuke was. He leaned over and read the note, and the waitress's blush deepened. Naruto sighed. "Sorry," he told the waitress, "he's taken. He's my boyfriend." Now both he and the waitress were bright red and feeling very awkward. Honestly, it is quite awkward to have to pretend to be gay just to save a friend—er—acquaintance.
Sasuke's eyes widened and he whisper-yelled to the other boy, "What are you doing?"
"S-sorry!" the waitress shouted, grabbing the money and running off. People around were staring.
"Okay, well, that's not good… Leggo!" Naruto shouted, grabbing Sasuke's hand and darting out of the restaurant. They ran until the end of the street, then continued on walking.
"What now?" Sasuke sighed.
"Some place fun."
"Just like the restaurant?"
"Shut up."
Sasuke noticed after they walked for a while that Naruto had still been holding his hand. "L-let go already!" he snapped, ripping his arm away, his face tinting red.
"Oh, sorry," Naruto apologized, shoving his hands into his pockets.
They continued walking in silence for a couple more minutes until they arrived at an arcade. "Here we are!" Naruto grinned.
"An arcade?" Sasuke inquired.
"Of course! I love arcades!" Naruto grinned as he ran into the building, followed by the other boy.
Naruto immediately ran up to a claw machine that had a nine-tailed, red fox inside. "I need that!" he shouted, his eyes lighting up as he pulled out a quarter and slid it into the machine. Sasuke watched as the boy carefully moved the handle, sending the claw in the direction of the fox. When he was satisfied with the position, he hit the button and the claw dropped, wrapping around the fox and raising back up, dropping it into the opening.
"Yes!" Naruto cheered, dancing around with the fox in hand. "On my first try! Oh yeah!" Sasuke stared at him, honestly amazed. Not even he could do that. Actually, he was terrible at claw machines. "Now, what do you want to do?"
"I don't care."
"Anything you want! There're a lot of games here."
"Fine. How about that?" Sasuke pointed to a newer-looking game. It was called Ninja Storm Revolution.
"I love that game!" Naruto squealed, running over to it and plopping down into a seat in front of it. "It's two-player, too, so we can play together!"
Sasuke nodded as he walked over and sat in the seat beside the other boy. "Alright."
They picked up the controllers and Naruto slid four quarters into the machine and started the game, quickly going through the instructions before playing. It was one of the few games in the arcade that actually had controllers.
After only two minutes, Sasuke had already beaten Naruto. "What?!" he gasped, "No! Not fair! I've never lost before! Rematch!"
"No way," Sasuke refused.
"Rematch!" Naruto demanded, sliding four more quarters into the machine. Sasuke sighed and gave in, starting the game. Halfway through the game, Sasuke felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He ignored it, but it continued to buzz repeatedly.
The game ended with Naruto beating Sasuke. He jumped up from the seat and danced around happily. Sasuke stood up, placing the controllers back into their holders. He slid his cellphone out of his pocket and read the text from his brother in his head:
Where the fuck are you?
Crap. Sasuke completely forgot that he was supposed to meet Itachi. He checked his phone to see that twenty minutes had passed. He sighed and replied:
Sorry. I'll be there soon.
"Well, I'm leaving," Sasuke bluntly informed the blonde who was still jumping around as he slid his phone into his pocket.
"Eh?" Naruto stopped his celebration, "Why?"
"Reasons," Sasuke shrugged, walking away.
Naruto followed him. "What reasons?"
"Reasons."
"Descriptive."
"Yep."
"So, am I fun?" Naruto smiled.
"Nope."
"Liar! You had fun, I know it!"
"Sure I did," Sasuke sighed, sarcasm evident in his tone.
"Don't lie, I know you had fun!" Naruto persisted.
"Stop following me," Sasuke commanded as they neared the corner.
"Fine, if you admit that I'm fun!"
"You're not."
"Yes I am! Admit it!"
"Fine, you're fun," Sasuke gave in, speeding up and running of.
Naruto grinned. "I knew it!" he shouted, jumping into the air and celebrating once again before turning around and running off in the opposite direction with a grin still plastered on his face.
