"Slow down," Tenten said watching as Hinata ate.

"Hmm?" The lavender eyed girl looked up from her bowl.

The pigtailed girl looked at her in astonishment, "since when are you into ramen?"

The Hyūga finished the noodles in her bowl before speaking, "I'm not."

Tenten arched an eyebrow then glanced from her to the empty bowl before her. "That was your third bowl." She blushed slightly and averted her eyes. "I guess Naruto is rubbing off on you."

"Hmm..." She hummed in response. "Do you have any cinnamon rolls?"

"Ha ha very funny," Tenten joked, but when Hinata didn't laugh she furrowed her eyebrows. "You can't still be hungry after that."

"Just a little," she said wincing.

The brunette stared at her before yelling, "Neji!"

"Yes?" He called back.

"Do we have any cinnamon rolls left?"

There was a long pause before he answered with a, "yeah, I think so."

"I'll be...right back," she said getting up from her seat. Hinata simply smiled and waited for her to return with her treat.

"Put it there," Sakura ordered as both Uchihas struggled with the huge pine tree. Sasuke groaned and complied with his wife's orders. "No wait, a little more to the left."

"But you said-"

"No, just a little to the left," she said cutting Itachi off. He sighed and blew a few stray strands of hair out of his face. Both boys worked together in moving the heavy tree to Sakura's designated area. "Wait. Stop!"

They both groaned and looked at her, "what now?" Sasuke sighed in frustration.

Sakura winced, "just a little to the right."

"Do you have any idea how heavy this thing is?!" Sasuke fumed.

"Nope, but I know that it looks better right there," she said pointing to the spot it was earlier.

"That doesn't-" Sasuke stopped once he felt his brother's hand on his shoulder. He looked up at him and furrowed his eyebrows when he saw that he was laughing.

"Calm down."

"See Itachi has the right spirit," the pink haired girl said with a curt nod.

"The right spi-"

She clapped her hands cutting him off, "chop chop. This tree won't move by itself."

Itachi chuckled as Sakura tried to avoid Sasuke's deadly glare. It wasn't long before they were both back to work and finally the jade green eyed girl had gotten her hearts desire.

Sakura beamed up at the tree with a huge grin. "Now it's time to decorate-" before she could even finish Sasuke had stomped out of the room. She placed a hand over her mouth as she tried to contain her laughter. "Is he always like this?"

"I'm afraid so. He was never one to indulge in the 'Christmas spirit'." Itachi explained.

"Well this year it'll be different. I'll definitely get him involved," she said with her fist against her other palm.

The Uchiha gave her a close eyed smile, "arigato Sakura."

"Huh? Nani?" She asked confused.

"For helping him."
