Bright, orange things...byTaes

Whish, the sounds of wind through your hair is more than enough to make your smirk widen. Your lips can't help it; that smaller kid over there, he just lost to you after all, in a fight more fair than most would get.

You smile, amused.

His boxers are cute... you think with a grin, and you wonder if any of the other ninja think so. Probably not, you decide, because that kid's too annoying...

You're not unreasoned in this. He's desecrated many monuments, ignored even Iruka, a favorite teacher among ninja students, and generally caused trouble all over the fire village.

You walk back to the scowling kid, and you bend down.

"Sa—Sasuke!" he sputters, and you only smirk.

You look up at him from your vantage point, and grin a little wider to tell him that you're in charge here, not him.

Slowly, you reach for the bright orange pants at the kid's feet, and you lean forward just a little as you lift them up. Naruto, naturally, screams rather loudly, and sputters incoherently.

"Don't do—"

But it's too late. You've already done it.

You've pulled his pants back up, and left a tiny little mark on what will one day be yours.

You smile.

The world is good.
