"But they're cold!"

"Yes, I am aware, you idiot. Now get back here."

"No! This is torture!"

"You're gonna be sleeping on the couch, I swear, if you don't come back over here right now!"

Times like these were the reasons why, when people asked about the relationship he and Sakura held, Naruto often said it was abusive and he had no idea what he was doing putting up with her abuse and meanness and harassment and overall evilness.

But then it also had to be taken into account that he might be a bit of a drama queen, and nothing she threw at him (minus actual punches) was really that bad.

"But... cold!" he whined from the far edge of the bed, his knees drawn up to his chest and a pillow hiding the lower half of his face while he looked on her in borderline horror. The roseate was slightly curled on her own side of the bed, the covers up to her shoulders while she glared at him.

"Awww, muffin. Now come to bed, or go to the couch. It's your choice." The ultimatum was delivered very plainly, without an ounce of give about it—there was no way out of this monstrosity of a task.

Grumbling under his breath the whole while, the blonde moved closer and flung the covers back, slipping under them before dramatically inhaling, making a big show about holding his breath as he situated himself right behind the demanding woman, waiting for the horrible feeling that he knew was about to ensue after he snuggled close.

And then her icy cold feet were tangled into his, and the awful bite of frigid skin against his space-heater like own made him whine in discomfort.

"Sakura-chaaaan, why are your feet so cold all the tiiiime," he complained, rubbing his feet along hers in an attempt to make them warm up faster.

"Bad circulation. Now shush, and turn out the light. 'S sleepytimes," she yawned in response, obviously not caring very much about his feelings on the situation.

With a few more mutterings under his breath, he reached behind himself and twisted the bedside lamp's knob, killing the light and his ability to see the triumphant grin on her face.
