It was the middle of the school day, with the first two classes ending and a bell signaling lunch time. (Name)'s quickly prepared to leave her science class, tossing the safety goggles in its bin and hanging up the white lab coats. She slung her bag over one shoulder, and walked out the door but then stopped. "Hurry up, Hinata!" (Name) called excitedly.

"Ah! I-I'm coming!" Replied Hinata as she adjusted the straps of the white backpack. As soon as Hinata caught up, they began walking through the crowded hallways. "You brought the lunch you made for Naruto, right?" Hinata gave a shy smile and nodded. "Yeah, I really hope he enjoys my cooking. Do you have Sasuke's?" (Name) grinned and patted her bag. "Of course! Though, it did take a lot to convince him to leave his."

The two girls had come up with the plan to make their partners a lunch box for no particular reason. The idea just came to mind while they were chatting on the phone. They made their way to where Naruto's and Sasuke's math class was and patiently stood adjacent to the doorway, making small talk about the food they prepared.

Sasuke walked out first, an annoyed look on his face as Ino was seen hugging his arm. A nervous Naruto followed, afraid if (Name) saw. He wondered if she would be angry at the girls' action. "Hey Naruto, Sasuke." Hinata greeted, ignoring Ino. (Name) just blinked and shook her head. "Hi, Naruto! Hey Sasuke, how was the class?"

"The same as always."

The Uchiha boy yanked his arm away from Ino and gently placed it around (Name)'s waist, muttering a low 'F--k you.' Naruto just laughed as he put his arm around Hinata and began walking with the rest. "Did you two wait long for us?"

"No, not at all."

As they approached their usual outdoor eating spot, Sakura waved to them with a smile. "You all sure took your time! I had time to go to the vending machine across from here and back." (Name) took a seat next to her, and Sasuke sat by (Name). On the other side of the table were Hinata and Naruto. "Sakura, you better tell your friend to stay away from me or I'll press charges. I'm sick of her." Sasuke said as he ran a stressed hand through his hair. "Sure, I will."

"I bet you're wondering why I didn't let you bring lunch today. I made you some instead!" (Name) beamed and pulled out a (favorite color) lunch box and handed it to him Hinata did the same on her side of the table, and Sakura watched both the couples in envy.

"I figured you'd do that. It was obvious. Thanks."

"You should be more grateful!" Budded in Naruto, mouth full of whatever meat Hinata had put in there. "Mind your own business, dobe." Sasuke opened up the box and made a small smile at the contents. Fresh seasoned tomatoes, rice, and a small portion of Skip-Jack tuna. "Did you just put all my favorites in one container neatly?"

"W-well, I wanted you to enjoy it a lot."

He took a bite of the rice and tomatoes freezing up. 'Oh no! Is it bad?! I spent a whole week practicing!' "It's good." (Name)'s eyes shined with happiness. "Surprisingly." Her eyes dimmed down a bit but still showed happiness. The friends watched in awe as (Name) tackled Sasuke, kissing all over his face. "Wow, I'm so happy you like it!"

Sasuke tried his best to cover his lightly blushing cheeks. "Cut it out!"
