A/N: This idea was given to me by blacksinger, so Thank You! I had a lot of fun writing this, I really did. And, in case you're wondering, I know a lot about lip gloss flavors because, like most girls, I went through this phase where that's all I would buy. lol, I used to be such a girl...but the phase passed. Hope you enjoy!

Girly Things
Was it a girly thing to own? Yeah, Naruto would admit that. But, it tasted so damn good!
He's already gone through every flavor they had to offer; from orange to strawberry, peach to fruit punch…but he had a favorite. It was the hardest one to find; strawberry shortcake.
Naruto practically ran from the shop with pure excitement filling his senses, they had it. Strawberry shortcake lip gloss, the best tasting flavor he'd ever experienced. Skipping, the blonde was hurriedly trying to open the plastic package containing his lip gloss and twisted off the cap. From the moment the clear liquid touched his lips, he was in heaven. He took a slight nip of his lip, tasting the flavor he'd grow to adore. Smiling, he made his way to the training ground, which he was already late for. But the lip gloss proved to be more important than being on time.
When he arrived at Team 7's training ground, he realized he'd arrived after Kakashi, telling him exactly how late he really was.
"Sorry guys, I…um…overslept?" Naruto's voice rose at the end of the sentence, making his excuse sound more like a question.
Sasuke glanced up as Sakura began berating her teammate for his lateness. The raven haired teen immediately noticed the slight shine of the blonde's lips as he spoke his hurried apology. He tried to shrug it off, but it was too eye catching…if not a bit annoying.
It was apparently too annoying and eye catching for Kakashi, who commented on it almost immediately. "Naruto, what is on your face?"
"Huh?" Naruto asked, putting his hands on his face, trying to wipe off imaginary dirt animatedly.
"Not on your face, per say…I mean your lips. Why are they so…shiny?"
"Oh, it's nothing. My lips were chapped so I used chap stick…but when I went to get more, they were out. So the lady sold me some lip gloss and the taste is so good I just can't stop using it." Kakashi rolled his eyes at Naruto's rambling, but said nothing more, just snorted.
"Naruto, lip gloss is a girl thing." Sakura said, raising an eyebrow.
"No wonder you girls use it, it tastes really good. Especially strawberry shortcake." Naruto smiled, assuming his Gai-sensei pose.
Sakura smirked before replying, "Did you try candy cane yet? It's to die for."
"Oh, thanks Sakura…I'll see if she has that one later."
Sakura just shook her head, thinking, "You're an idiot."
Sasuke, who was quiet through this whole thing, was mentally berating himself for continually staring at Naruto's lips while he talked. They shimmered in the sunlight, giving them a feminine appearance. Surprisingly enough, Sasuke kind of liked it. A lot.
Once training ended, and they began to walk home, Sasuke attempted to follow Naruto. True to form, Naruto returned to the shop to see if they had candy cane in stock. Sasuke waited outside the store, arms crossed, leaning against the wall, until the blonde returned.
"Teme, what are you doing?" Naruto asked, fumbling with his newly acquired package in an attempt to open it.
"You do realize you are wearing make-up, right?" Sasuke pushed himself off the wall, keeping his arms crossed.
"But it tastes good…" Naruto trailed off, silently wishing he wouldn't have worn it to training. He was just waiting for the stoic boy to begin his daily torment for something else he'd done apparently wrong.
"What flavor is it?" Sasuke asked, pointing at the package Naruto barely had open.
"Candy cane."
"Taste good?"
"Dunno yet." Naruto finally ripped the package open and immediately applied the new gloss, after licking off the old of course. Taking an exploratory nip of his lower lip, he smiled brightly. "Yeah, it's pretty good."
"Can I taste?" Sasuke asked, dropping his arms to his side.
Naruto eyed him curiously, but held out the tiny bottle in his hands. "Yeah, sure."
Sasuke smirked and leaned forward, his lips a breath away from Naruto's. The blonde's eyes were as big as dinner plates when he realized what the Uchiha was trying to do, but found himself unable to move. Sasuke let his tongue slip out, nipping at Naruto's bottom lip. He found the taste was, actually, quite enjoyable and leaned closer to press his lips fully against the blondes. Naruto's breathe hitched in his throat as Sasuke's body pressed tighter against his, deepening the kiss.
When Sasuke pulled away, he grinned at the blonde boy in front of him, whose face was as red as the bottle he held. "Yeah, you're right. It does taste pretty good." Sasuke licked his own lips before turning on his heels, walking away.
It took Naruto a full minute to recover before he realized Sasuke was walking away from him. "Hey, bastard, get back here! I don't give free samples!"
So, what'cha think? I hope I did your idea justice, blacksinger.
So, I want to ask you all a question, since you are all so amazing at answering my other questions... Do you think I could write a multi-chapter story? I've always wanted to do one on Naruto...but sadly all my ideas consist of OC's, which I know few people like to read. But, she won't end up with any characters, because I'm mean like that. lol. And she sure as hell cannot have Sasuke or Naruto, because they've already taken each other. I dunno...but if anyone thinks my writing capabilities are at multi-chapter level, let me know. If you think otherwise, let me know. I just really want to know. Thanks!
