(Y/n)'s POV

A loud sigh escaped my throat as I was walking back from the training grounds. My body was tired and sore from a long day of training and my shaking legs were more than ready to give out. As much as I wanted to go home, shower and fall into my bed, my hunger prevented me from doing so. So I slowly walked over to Ichiraku Ramen shop, sat down on one of the bar stools and fell over the counter.

-"I don't know why I do this to myself. I'm going to be sore for at least a week. By then I will have gone on another mission, and I will be sore from that as well."

-"You shouldn't work yourself so hard then. Resting is just as important as training you know." a voice from beside me told as the owner of it sat down next to me.
-"Every time I see you, you look worn out. I think you might actually train more than Rock Lee, which isn't be healthy. It seems to me that you don't know your own limits."

“I know my limits Sai, don't worry. Just because I'm tired doesn't mean I'm training too hard.” I answered as I lifted my head to look at him smiling softly.

I was glad for his company. Though my body was still too tired to do anything, I was glad that I had someone to chat with as I ate. Food tastes better with company after all. 

-"However lately, I have been wondering why I'm training at all. I really don't feel like I'm getting any better." I murmured as I sighed.

-"It's very possible that you're not progressing at all. Maybe you're not training correctly." Sai told me as he ate some of his ramen.

-"You are right. Maybe that's the problem. I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that I'm doing something wrong."

I know that Sai isn't all that good at encouraging people, or even knowing when those people needed encouragement, but his words still hurt a little. As bad as he was at sensing emotions, he could still tell that I wasn't at all happy. So he spoke once again attempting to remedy what he had said since he thought that he had done a mistake.

-"I, of course, haven't watched you train in a long time, so I really can't comment on your abilities. I could watch you train a time or two if you'd like though. I really wouldn't mind." Sai said as he faked smiled.

If I didn't know better, I would swear it was real.

-"To be honest, I enjoy being around you, so helping you in any way would be my pleasure."

-"If you honestly don't mind, that would probably be really helpful to me. Knowing me, I have been training the wrong way all along and didn't even know it." I told him as I felt a little better.

-"I highly doubt that. Even if you had no ninja-like knowledge at all, you couldn't do everything wrong. At least, I don't think you could." Sai told me as he finished eating.

That's when I noticed that I haven't touched my bowl yet. Sai noticed that immediately too, but before I could do anything he held a large streaming pile of noodles to my mouth ready to feed me. His sudden movement made me blush a little but I didn't move away.

-"I know you're trying to help, but I can feed myself you know."

-"I have seen you feed yourself many times before. However, if you are really that tired, this is for the best. I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself doing a simple task like eating."

Sai refused to step back from his decision. So he continued to hold up the chopsticks with a completely straight face.

-"Am I doing this incorrectly?" he asked confused but then his eyes widened.
-"Oh, I know."
