Literal Love at First Sight

5

The next morning, Tobirama decided to make breakfast for them. Unfortunately, for all his genius, cooking has always been out of reach beyond rice and boiling eggs.

Naruto awoke to the smell of burning food and rushed to the kitchen. While he knew the man could take care of himself, that didn't cease his worry. Upon entering the kitchen, the blonde paused while taking in the scene. Even though the Second Hokage tried to hide it, to Naruto it looked like the man was pouting over the ruined meal. The blonde couldn't stop the chuckling that escaped him rather than a full belly laugh that wanted to be released.

The whiskered young man walked over once the Senju looked over with a rather petulant glare. "Here. I'll make breakfast. You should probably get ready anyways." Naruto pushed the man covered in various foods out of the kitchen who reluctantly complied. Inwardly, Tobirama was pleased with himself. He may not have managed breakfast, but he still managed to make the blonde happy in some way.

As his fixation went to get ready, the blue-eyed teen began preparing breakfast for the two of them. Waffles and sausage were piled on a large plate with syrup off to the side on the dining room table.

Unfortunately for Tobirama's plans to get the blonde to eat breakfast with him instead of ration bars or going out to eat, Naruto was already leaving after getting ready.

The older man shunshined where he could sense the blonde on the road just outside of the compound where he planned to go out eat breakfast. "Was the food I made bad or something?" the whiskered teen asked. Tobirama didn't even bother resisting the urge to roll his eyes. "No. I haven't eaten any yet. Did you truly believe I would have you make me food and then not allow you to eat some as well?" Naruto blinked a couple of times in utter surprise. This is the first time he's ever cooked for anyone before but he didn't want to be a bother by assuming he'd be allowed some as well. It's not his food anyways.

The Senju mentally groaned before grabbing the blonde's arm and shunshining back into the dining room. "Sit and eat as well." The man had to wonder how poorly the jinchuriki had been treated to behave in such a manner. The younger gives and keeps on giving, never recieving much of anything in return.

Tobirama didn't understand why he was feeling so upset about his adivser and ANBU commander's treatment when they first met, but he does know he feels drawn to the other like the moon pulls the ocean tides. He can also tell that when the other looks at him, the younger is happier. For some reason, it reminds him of his idiotic older brother and Mito-sama.

The two quietly ate and then returned to their preperations for the exam.

The Ino-Shika-Cho clan heads could see at the meeting the way the two unknowingly behaved around eachother. Somehow one in synch with the other. They knew right away who the blonde's fixation was and couldn't help but be curious as to how it will play out.

(A/N: Sorry this is so short. I really don't know where to go from here.)
