You stretched and peered at the brilliant full moon above you. You smiled with joy and thought about your recent elevation to Jounin rank. Hokage-sama gave you your exam mission this morning and you passed with flying colours. Basking in the light from the moon, you continued to walk to your house. With a light skip to your step and humming softly to yourself, you walked down the street and approached your door. Just before your hand reached the knob, you paused. Something didn't feel right.
Before you had time to further asses what was amiss, the door swung open and a chorus of congratulations broke out. "Huh?" Was all you could muster. "Congratulations on passing your Jounin exam." Sakura happily pulled you through your own door. "Oh, thanks…" You were still flustered by the group. Once you got into your home, you looked around at the group gathered in the house. Everyone was there. Your friends from the leaf village, the sand siblings, and even Sasuke lounged in your living room.
"Now that everyone's here, we should play this game I read about." Ino announced.
"Great, this'll be troublesome." Shikamaru sighed and you couldn't help but agree with him.
"What's the game?" Naruto asked full of curiosity.
"Well it's called 'Seven Minutes in Heaven'." Ino smiled.
"How do you play?" Tenten asked.
"When you have a party with guys and girls together you have the guys write their names, favorite animals, favorite colours, or something on a sheet of paper and put it in a bowl. The girls then draw the slips of paper out of the bowl and have to stay in a closet for seven minutes with the guy who wrote on the paper." Ino explained.
"What happens in the closet?" Kankuro asked.
"Ummm…the thing I read said the guy gets to do whatever he wanted with the girl." Ino answered. You looked around at everyone's faces and saw some people were excited while others looked like they dreaded the game
"I knew this would be troublesome." Shikamaru sighed.
"Let's play!" Naruto excitedly shouted. After some cheers mixed with a small amount of grumbling, you retrieved the materials needed to play. Ino passed the paper and pencils to the guys and told them to write the name of their favorite flower. Sakura passed the bowl around and the guys put their paper in it. "Since this party is for ______, she gets to draw the first name." Sakura smiled and handed you the bowl. You reached your hand into the bowl and pulled out a slip of paper with Violet written on it.
"Violet." You softly called and saw Choji get up. He popped a few chips in his mouth and moved to the closet. You sighed and walked through the door with Choji close behind. Temari silently shut the door after Choji walked in. Once inside you moved to the right to give Choji some space and he walked to the back, sat down, and you could hear him eating his chips. You sighed, all you'd ever seen the boy do was eat.
"Hey, Choji…" You began.
"Hmm?" He asked between mouthfuls.
"Why do you always eat chips and other junk food? Wouldn't it be better to eat greens?" You asked trying not to be rude. You liked Choji and didn't want to offend him or anything, but the guy did eat a lot.
"Not enough calories. Like celery takes more energy to eat than it gives you." He explained.
"Oh okay…" You sighed again. "So what should we do in here?" You asked.
"Dunno, too bad it doesn't have a barbeque." He remarked with some sadness. You giggled and shook your head; only Choji could think up a closet complete with barbeque.
"What?" He asked suspiciously.
"Nothing. I was just thinking how funny would be to have a barbeque in a closet." You answered.
"It's a good idea." He defended himself.
"Yeah, if you want your stuff to catch on fire." You teased.
"Your mean." He muttered.
You didn't know if he was serious or not, but decided say something to make sure. "Sorry, next meal I cook I'll make some for you to make up for being mean." You smiled.
"You cook?" Choji stopped eating his chips.
"I'm a girl of course I can cook. I'm good at it too." You proudly boasted.
You could see his expression in the dim light held some sadness. "Girls don't usually want to cook for me…" He trailed off. You understood he had a confidence problem, but thought he'd be happy you offered to make food for him. You sighed slightly, shook your head, and got up. You walked over to him, gave him a big hug and lightly kissed his forehead.
"I promise I'll cook a delicious meal for you." You smiled. He blushed and lowered his head a bit. You giggled a bit and sat next to him; spending the rest of the time discussing favorite foods. "Time's up!" Ino called loudly. She opened the door and you and Choji walked out. Choji had a slight blush to his face, and you giggled when you noticed. Ino and Shikamaru raised eyebrows at you, but didn't say anything. Temari passed the bowl on and you sat next to Choji continuing your conversation.
