-------------------------------------------------------
Ruffling his head with a towel, Naruto stepped out of his washroom, actually feeling considerably better than he had when he'd gone into the shower. He moved around the corner of the tiny hall that lead to the bathroom to the dresser he had beside his bed, crouching to rifle through it for a pair of pants. Upon finding a pair of comfortable black flood-pants, the teen stood again, pulling them on before looking for a shirt as well.
Once he'd gotten himself dressed, he headed across the room to the refridgerator, pulling it open with a slow sigh. With the rainclouds, he couldn't even tell what time it was, and he didn't feel like checking the clock that sat beside his bed. Pulling out the half-empty and left open carton of milk and bringing it to his lips, he took a few long, slow swallows. He'd closed his eyes mid-gulp, and by the time he pulled it back away from his mouth, the carton was near empty. The blonde sighed. Grocery shopping was one of the last things on his want-to-do list at the moment. With a quick check in the cupboards, Naruto resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He was even out of instant ramen.
He knew there was a reason he'd been heading to the market disctrict that day.
With a heavy breath, Naruto adjusted his mesh shirt before eyeing his still dirty jacket on the floor, and he curled his lip. ..Or not. Another rummage through his drawers produced an orange zip-up sweater, and while temporarily sighing at his lack of differentiating colors in his wardrobe, he pulled it on.
Just as he was heading for the door, he caught a light, tentative knock, and a blonde brow rose up on his forehead which still lay bare, an unusual feeling for the blonde despite the past few days. He called a greeting through the door, lifting his brow when he got no response, and he scratched at his still damp hair before reaching his door. Flicking the locks open, he pulled it open, blinking when he found no one there. "...Hello?" He stuck his head into the hall, looking both ways before a familiar smell wafted up to greet him, and he looked down to spot a takeout bag from Ichiraku's. Naruto blinked again with a small noise, crouching down and taking the note that had been taped to the bag, unfolding it carefully.
'I figured you still wouldn't want to come out today, so today Ichiraku's came to you! :P'
In place of a signature there was a neatly drawn sakura blossom, and Naruto let out a snort mixed with a sigh, cracking a tiny smile. He shut his eyes, remaining his his crouch a moment before calling out. "Sa-kuraaaa... You can come out now." He opened an eye to see a pink head peep out from behind the corner of the hall, and Naruto managed a grin, pulling himself back up again with a grunt. "C'mon in. You got enough for two, and I don't feel like soggy ramen for leftovers." He leaned down to pick the bag up from the floor, and he waved the kunoichi closer.
Sakura came around the corner, wringing her hands slightly, flashing the other blonde a smile. "I.. Kind of guessed on what you wanted today. I would have come over first to ask, but I didn't know if you were still sleeping, and-"
"It's fine, Sakura-chan." Naruto smiled, and Sakura relaxed slightly, stepping into the apartment past the door Naruto was holding open. The girl turned with a curious look around, but didn't ask any questions. "What did you get?"
Sea-green eyes turned to him, and Sakura smiled again. "Well there's miso and pork, a-and.. Miso and pork." Sakura finished lamely, her smile faltering. Naruto only smiled wider.
"My favorite." He breathed out a laugh, moving to set down the bag on his small table, clearing away the old dishes that had been left there. Setting them in the sink and grabbing two new bowls from his cupboard and two pairs of chopsticks, he made his way back to the table again where Sakura was putting out the containers of ramen.
Sitting herself into the chair that Naruto'd offered, she watched Naruto pull a stool closer so he could sit as well. She licked her lips slightly, leaning forward to pour Naruto's serving into his bowl before opening her own, breathing in before speaking softly. "...So.. Do you want to talk about anything yet..?"
Naruto blinked at her, then lifted a shoulder, dropping it again and swirling his chopsticks around his bowl as he dropped his gaze to his noodles. "...Not really, Sakura-chan.."
The girl's lips curved upward as she gave a nod, and she didn't push the subject.
They ate in an amiable silence for a while before breaking into light conversation. Sakura scolded Naruto lightly for making Iruka so worried that Kakashi of all people had to give their former teacher a hug, and Naruto laughed at the image of it before apologizing, saying he would go and see the chunin later to ease his mind. After that, they simply spoke between periods of silence, their shopsticks clinking occasinally against the porcelain of the bowls as they spoke of nothing of importance.
"...Sakura.." Naruto whispered over his noodle-encased chopsticks after a while, and the kunoichi across the small table paused, lifting her head and lowering her own chopsticks. "...I'm leaving Konoha." He didn't speak any louder, and Sakura watched him quietly with segreen eyes before breathing out slowly, setting the wooden utensils completely down against the rim of her bowl as she looked down at it.
"..I know." She folded her hands at the edge of the table, glancing up to the blonde again after a moment. "You forget how quickly word travels around here, Naruto. I'm surprised Neji hasn't come to break down your door for breaking Hinata's heart already." She smiled, and Naruto gave a sudden wince.
Hinata. The timid pale-eyed chunin had taken a back seat to any of his thoughts lately. Well, to be fair, she almost always did, but now even moreso. He'd barely even seen her since he'd come back from being gone for two and a half years before that. Breathing out slowly, Naruto cracked an eye open to look at this teammate. "...I thought she'd gotten over all of that by now.."
Sakura gave a soft smile, breathing out slowly. "You doubt the strength and patience of a woman's heart, Naruto."
The blonde slurped up the mouthful of noodles, watching Sakura thoughtfully as he chewed, when something struck him. Struggling to swallow, he exhaled when he finally opened his mouth, his eyes still on his friend. "...Sakura... Do you still..." She watched a pale pink brow lift torward him, and he inhaled before shaking his head. "..Nevermind." He snatched up another bundle of noodles, planting them hastily into his mouth.
Sakura blinked, not moving. "...I still love Sasuke, if that's what you were going to ask." The blonde choked, half of his mouthful of noodles hitting the bowl and the table beside it gracelessly. Sakura didn't bat an eyelash. "Gross, Naruto."
Once the blonde could talk again, though he repeatedly boomed a fist against his chest for a moment, he finally lifted his head. "W-well that was just kinda sudden and all.." He caught the smile directed at him, and flushed slightly when Sakura stood up from the table with a giggle. "...What."
She continued toward his sink, picking up the dishcloth hanging from a cupboard, running it underwater a moment before making her way back to the table again. "Look at you. You're a mess." She grinned, rubbing the cloth over Naruto's chin, and the other ninja gave a sudden noise of protest, flapping his hands at hers to make them retreat. Stubborn, she continued to get the bits of noodle and broth off of his face, then continued to wipe the table, pausing once she had gethered it all into the rag. "....I still love him." She spoke quietly, watching the table, then turned green eyes to her teammate with a light smile. "..But I love him like how I love you, Naruto."
Choking on air this time, Naruto stared at the girl.
The look earned him a rap on the head, and Sakura grinned. "Not like that, moron. I love you like... Like.." She struggled for words for a moment, and Naruto, still red in the face, wasn't any help. "...Like a brother. More than best friends, but not the same as lovers. Get it?" She looked at the genin to make sure he really did, and Naruto sat dumbfounded before a smile cracked at his lips, a real smile, and he turned it up to the young woman.
"...Yeah, Sakura-chan." He almost chuckled, leaning an elbow onto the table and resting his chin on an upturned hand, staring out at nothing, mulling this new information over in his head. "...I get it."
Sakura smiled, folding the dishcloth and leaning over to press a firm kiss to the back of Naruto's skull before heading for the sink again. "Good." She straightened up again, going to throw out the captive ramen in the cloth. "I brought some movies, if you want to watch them. Because I know for a fact that Iruka-sensei bought you a player for your birthday, and you still haven't used it." She glanced back to the blonde, who blinked before relaxing into his seat with a smile.
"Y..yeah. Sure."
"Alright! We'll have to sit on your bed, since you don't have a couch, but you're going to change your sheets, because I don't want to have to sit on whatever you've been crawling in for the last four days, and I don't even want to know what you may have done to them before that." The pink-haired teenager made a face, and Naruto flushed scarlet before scrambling up from the table to clear away the sheets and any incriminating evidence that may have been on them.
