Needed a shorter and sweeter sort of chapter to lift the weight slightly of what's to come and what's happened in this scenario book.
SO this chapter is set at.....the mother place of all relationships.....Ichiraku Ramen! in most scenarios, of course.
Naruto Uzumaki
Damn, how you hated getting out of bed in the winter.
Everything was just so cosy and warm in the bed, while everything outside was cold and freezing. Your teeth chattered just thinking about it.
Since you were a officially a Chunin meant on a normal day you had duties to be getting on with, and you would be dragged out of the comforting embrace of your bed, but today wasn't a normal day.
It was the weekend.
A time of joy and sleep.
And nothing, and by nothing you meant absolutely nothing, would drag you out of your bed, not today.
Everything had just been so hectic lately, you needed to retreat back into the cavern of dreams and tranquillity.
Thinking this, you allowed your mind to completely shut off, ignoring all sounds around you, which is why you failed to notice Naruto breaking down your door.
He ran into your bedroom screaming, "(Y/N)! ARE YOU ALIVE! I SAW YOUR LIGHTS WERE TURNED OFF AND I WONDERING IF YOU WANTED TO GO ON A DATE WITH ME WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE LINKED TO KAKASHI SENSEI'S MASK!!!!"
Groggily, you re-open your eyes, thinking its too early to be making a racket, but also wondering what Naruto meant by date.
Looking up properly, your eyes met Naruto's flustered blue orbs, and travelled around his body. His hand were shaking slightly, he was biting his lip, he looked ready to explode.
The Uzumaki Naruto just asked you on a date.
You felt your face flush as you got out of your bed quickly, completely forgetting about your earlier thoughts.
He watched as you ran off into your bathroom, but then realised you didn't give him an actual answer, or even say anything, so he chose to wait for your outside, but the more he stood, the more worried he got you would turn him down, just like Sakura had earlier. He tried to not let that get to him though, but it still kinda hurt.
He hoped not to get turned down again as he waited.
You walked outside, dressed in casual everyday attire, before smiling up at him.
That smile made his heart beat faster.
"Come on! (Y/n)-chan! I need to tell you the plan..." he quickly grabbed your wrist and pulled you away, masking his insecurity.
(TIME SKIP)
You were at Ichiraku ramen, ready to execute the plan. You loved how Naruto called this kind of stake-out a date, it was so exciting.
Kakashi-Sensei came into the ramen store, just as planned, with Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke.
Kakashi-sensei sat down, and you all ordered him and only him food, you didn't want to be distracted, after all. You all sat down next to eachother, squashed up and trying to stop the anticipation as Kakashi pulled down his mask.
This was it...!
Just as he was about to reveal his face, three idiots jumped into the scene. Ino, Choji and Shikamaru, effectively ruining everything.
You were disappointed, but it was fun to spend the day with Naruto and his team.
After a while of laughing and being frustrated, Naruto approached you privately after it was all over, "(Y/n), that wasn't the most romantic date, ya know, an-"
"Naruto" You cut him off swiftly before he started rambling, "I had fun with you, this was by far the best date I've ever gone on because of how unique it was, thankyou for giving me this experience, it truly was amazing and I loved it!" You finished your speech and beamed at him, almost stopping his heart, "No, actually...." Those words actually stopped his heart with fear. Was he so wrong to hope...," I loved it...believe it!"
You used his catchphrase, and hastily pressed your lips to his cheek before you could chicken out, then ran into your house at full speed, leaving a hyperventilating him on your porch.
Sasuke Uchiha
Finally, break.
You felt like you'd waited forever to come off chunin duties as you wandered around, thinking about what you should eat for lunch. The you spotted them. Three Genin, one of them catching your eye who wore blue attire.
Sasuke.
Your eyes wouldn't look away, no matter how hard you willed them to leave his composed figure. It was just like the day you met him, you were captivated.
You continued looking at him, willing yourself to believe you wouldn't be caught.
Suddenly, playful onyx eyes looked in your direction.
You tried to look away, but to no avail. Instead, you watched in horror as he began walking towards you, a fuming Sakura and hyperactive Naruto not far behind him.
"Tell these idiots" You looked at him in confusion. What was he talking about? "Tell them they'll never see what's under Kakashi's mask, and to stop bothering me" He spoke gruffly, before attempting to slump off, but you caught his arm.
He looked down at you in happy surprise which he tried to cover up with annoyance.
"What if he has..." You began, "Buck teeth"
Sasuke's eyes widened in horror at the thought, but he wasn't pulling away from your grip, so you took that as an invitation to continue. You nodded at Naruto who opened his mouth to speak too,
"Or..." The knucklehead began, "Lips like Cod-Roe," Now Sasuke was trying to stop trembling as he slowly swallowed his pride, turning around to face you all.
"Fine..." You all stared at him in shock, "What's the plan"
(TIME SKIP)
The Ramen plan had failed, so you had to resort to just asking Kakashi-Sensei. But you knew he wouldn't just give in that easily, he was a tricky man.
You frowned, thinking about your choices. Sasuke seemed to notice the crease in your eyebrows as he walked over passively, bending down to your hiding spot (you were hiding so Kakashi didn't see you) and flicking you in the forehead.
You grumbled curse words as he gave you his little smirk.
"Don't get too caught up in dumb stuff like this" He said, but he had a gentleness in his tone.
You frowned and huffed, "I don't care...baka"
But he just shook his head and smiled down at you, which was something you'd never seen him do, before reaching his
hand out to help you up.
Holding the heat in your cheeks, you dusted off your clothes with his help.
"Do you always get this dirty on last minute dates," Sasuke refused to make eye contact when saying this, looking anywhere but you while a light blush coated his pale cheeks.
This was a...date?
You felt your body get warmer form the prospect of going on a date with Sasuke, as you allowed him to grab your hand roughly in his, and lead you to where the next plan would take place.
But all you could think was that Sasuke might actually like you.....
Subaku No Gaara
After the Chunin exams, you decided that Konoha wasn't the right place for you, and, after conveying your thoughts to Temari and the Hokage, they both agreed you should move to Suna.
Why Temari? You ask, because ever since you talked to her, you'd become instant friends: you being as awkward and quiet as you were and her being as loud and outgoing, your opposite personalities attracted and now you were close friends.
So, instead of living in Konoha, you moved to Suna, where people soon found out about your origin, and began looking at you with hateful eyes.
You were used to it, by then, and knew you just had to prove your worth by being the best Chunin you could.
Your eyes glimmered as you thought of your new future.
Then you remembered.
Temari was a sister to Gaara.
Lately, things had been strange whenever you saw him, after all, you had hugged him randomly, and stared at him a lot.
Plus, you had witnessed him killing someone, so....
Needless to say, you still wanted to go over to Temari's house like normal friends do, and apparently Gaara had changed since you'd last saw him, so maybe things would go okay.
You shut your eyes and prayed, but that wasn't the best thing to be doing when walking down the street with boxes that towered over your sight. As soon as you closed your eyes, you tripped. Thank the world the street was empty, or someone would've seen you falling, and that would've been embarrassing.
You scrunched your closed eyes, ready for impact but nothing came.
Strong arms stopped you from falling. Looking up you and your saviour instantly recognised eachother and blushed bright red.
In front of you was Gaara.
Awkwardly, you smiled at him, getting your stuff from the floor.
He instantly bent down to help you.
Just as you were about to pick up a book, his hand went over yours, just like a cliché movie. Burning, he pulled his hand away, while you picked up the book yourself.
"Sorry" He said it begrudgingly, like he'd never said it before, but you couldn't understand why he was saying it in the first place. He had nothing to apologise for.
You shook your head and thanked him, but after that there wasn't much to say.
He stared at you, as if he was waiting for you to speak, but he surprised the two of you by talking first, "Why have you got boxes?"
You smiled.
"I'm moving to Suna, I like it here." You stated firmly.
He smiled a wry smile. He was happy you would be in Suna....the feeling of happiness.
Suddenly, he got an idea on how to explore the so-called feeling of 'love' more,
"Would you like me to show you around,"
"YES!" you replied a little too fast and excitedly but he didn't mind, as he began guiding you through Suna.
(TIME SKIP)
Somehow, you had ended up on the roof of Gaara's home, admiring the sunset with him.
The sky was a swirl of different patterns and colours.
Looking over, you realised his eyes were on you, not the sunset, and tried to hide your heated face from his intense stare.
If looks could kill, you'd be dead.
Then, he opened his mouth to speak,
"Do you hate me?"
WHAT?!
Your head turned frantically to see his kawaii panda face looking back at you. Awww. Wait. No.
Quickly, you said the first thing that came into your mind,
"I don't hate you Gaara! I could never!" Your words came out tumbling after eachother, and your awkwardness was coming off in waves, then you idea, "Besides...." You trailed off.
His eyes narrowed, as he tried to anticipate what you'd say next. When people went quiet or frantic around him it was usually out of fear, so he wasn't expecting a lot.
A small smile graced your lips, "I wouldn't be on this date with you, if I didn't like you..." You trailed off again, then realised what you'd just said. That sounded like a confession.
The smiled fell from your lips as you turned towards him, a light pink blush on your face, "AS IN AS A FRONF, I MEAN FREN, I MEAN ITS IN A FRIENDLY WAY-" You looked at his confused face and instantly felt more embarrassed, and he seemed to have caught on with what you were trying to say, as he was shifting uncomfortably and trying to loosen his shirts grip on his neck.
A blush could be seen on the tips of his ears.
Then he coughed.
You cringed visibly and decided the intense awkwardness was overwhelming.
You couldn't stay any longer.
Running and stumbling, you shouted a quick bye before exiting the scene, leaving Gaara to ponder the feeling he was getting in his chest.
"Why...." He looked down at his chest in confusion, but on the inside....he was overjoyed.
Kiba Inuzuka
Kiba being Kiba, of course he had tried to ask you on dates before, but you took joy in turning him down playfully, as he seemed to like showing you off.
You didn't like being treated like a mans new toy, so you took some of his pride with you each time you'd turn him down.
Secretly, though, you loved the way he'd pout and slump off and you'd thought his ever changing reactions were sorta-well- cute. Just as you were thinking this, a grumpy Inuzuka slouched through the door of your workplace, making the bell ding dong! on his way in.
Straight away, you noticed his cranky demeanour and watched in silence as he sat down in his normal place in front of you.
'what's got his nickers in a twist'
Normally, a flirty (cute) pick up line, or a cheesy, old joke would be coming your way, but he just looked depressed, like a mini raincloud was hanging over his head.
Not liking this, you bent over the side of your desk, trying to get him to look in your eyes before you asked him anything, but he refused to even make eye contact.
Straight away, you knew it had something to do with you.
And you were absolutely right.
Kiba was upset because the girl he desperately liked and had a crush on, may not like him back. Now that he thought about it, you had always refused him when he asked you out, as if you didn't want him too get too close to you.
You were giving out mixed signals towards him, so he decided to meekly, ask you out today, if you refused, then he'd just stop bothering you forever, and would suffer the heartbreak.
"(Y/n)," He began in a quiet voice and you had to strain your voice to hear him, "I was wondering....would ya....wanna go on a date?" he managed to mumble.
You could tell something was on his mind, and it was bothering you.
Kiba was your close friend, and you knew him quite well, those words were spoken too...shyly.
You stare back at him in shock.
"Since you seem sincere for once," You replied with a warmth in your eyes, "Of course" A big smile graced your face.
You grabbed the keys to the store and threw them to your co-worker, who was conveniently taking your shift
Kiba just gaped until you grabbed his hand lightly, and tugged him away out from the store.
The door went ding dong! as you both left.
Just as you began walking, Kiba pulled your hand in a direction of Konoha you hadn't explored yet.
Well, if Kiba looked so eager, you knew it had to be good.
He led you through winding streets -not even a peep coming out of him- until you arrived atop a small mountain, where there were blankets and a happy Akamaru, who seemed to be playing guard dog.
You blinked twice until your eyes were adjusted to the darkness, and looked up at the canvass of twinkling stars that painted the sky. Different constellations could be seen, and the world was so black away from the city lights.
The countryside had always been your favourite place to come to as a kid, as your mom would show you the big dipper and other constellations, and you would sit for hours trying to memorise the shapes. It had been a long time since you'd come this far out, and taken time out to see the stars. Life had just turned so busy after. And Kiba...
You didn't like talking about your past, but with Kiba you felt comfortable, as he was the one who watched and heard you phone the police on him, plus, he was the first person you met other than Shikamaru. So you'd told Kiba you loved to watch the stars as a kid, and somehow, he had remembered.
You couldn't hold the tears as you turned and engulfed him in a bone-crushing hug. It was perfect. You couldn't even find the words to explain the feeling that had exploded inside of you.
Everything was just....perfect.
"Shhhh," He soothed your tears slightly as he ran his hands through your hair gently, before turning your head back towards the sky, "The best part hasn't begun yet," He whispered, drifting off.
Just then, one star could be seen shooting, then another, then another.
A meteor shower.
Kakashi Hatake
You backed up against a wall and sighed in defeat.
You couldn't believe you had agreed to this.
Naruto frolicked around with Sakura and Sasuke as they tempted Kakashi into eating ramen at ichiraku, where you were sitting behind the counter, ready to snap a picture of mask-less Kakashi.
In your defence, if someone could be that good looking with a mask, then without it they must be......yeah. So that's why you were crouched beneath the table top, while Ayame and Teuchi (the Ramen Guy + his daughter who were in on your little plan) prepared a bowl of Ramen for the unsuspecting Kakashi.
"Are you guys sure your being serious, every other time you ask me to come here with you guys and offer to pay for my meal you play some sort of prank," He stated bluntly.
Instantly, you broke out in sweat.
They did not mention they played pranks on Kakashi....that wasn't very nice.....why didn't they invite you? You loved teasing him the way he teased everyone else, and pranking was your speciality. Oh well, you were going to have to pull a few later on....anyways, the reason you were nervous was because, if Kakashi was suspecting something, then, as a fully trained ninja, he should've been able to dodge it with ease, and that meant you would never see the stupid Baka's face.
You heard a thump as he sat down and your heartrate skyrocketed. You were about to do it...
You slowly rose over the top of the counter once you heard slurping. You could hear Sakura, Ino and Choji ruining everything, but that didn't matter to you....
You were about to see...
You held the camera up but not your head up, too overcome with anxiety to see his face up close, snapping as many pictures you could until you heard a 'done, thanks!'
This was it...
Your hands shakily reached out the pull open the camera, revealing photo's which were slowly coming to life the more you waved them.
You were really about to see....
You turned them to face you, and your face fell.
That was not Kakashi's face.
You seethed with rage before standing up over the counter, shoving the now prominent pictures in Kakashi's unsuspecting face.
"THIS IS NOT YOUR FUDGING FACE!" You angrily blurted, hearing large groans from Naruto's team, as they realised you had failed too.
Kakashi simply smiled at you through his mask, before throwing his arm lazily over your shoulder.
His smile turned into a smirk as he guided you two away from his team, holding you by both your shoulders and steering you in the opposite direction.
None of his team followed, too confused by the turn of events.
Slowly, you simmered down, to see you and Kakashi alone.
He turned to with a smirk you couldn't see, "Now, now, (Y/n), If you wanted to go on a date with me, you didn't have to get my team involved, just come up to me and ask~" He slowly backed you up against a wall, "Besides...." He whispered in your left ear, "I'd much more prefer it if it was the two of us."
Your eyes widened in shock while Kakashi backed off, smiling at you gently, before offering his arm to you, like a true gentleman.
Well...there was no way you would take it.
First he reads Icha Icha, and now this?!?!
"PERV!" You felt your face burn under his unfazed smile, so you chose to lash out at him,
"YOURABIGFATPERVANDYOURNOTHOTORMYSTERIOUSATALLANDIDONTLIKEYOU" Everything you said was a lie and you and him knew it.
That's why he made no move to stop you when you began walking away, simply smiling in amusement.
You huffed your complaints before taking off in the other direction, mumbling a faint 'Bakashi' under your breath.
Shikamaru Nara
Shikamaru Nara did not like to rush things. Taking everything slow was his way of life, but when he realised the world was full of men who could take interest in you, he suddenly decided life was too short to not ask you out.
So today was the day.
He was absolutely positive on how he wanted to tell you his feelings, and when.
A date.
He had it all planned, and the best part was, he made sure none of his annoying friends knew about it. They always made things such a drag.
Major eye-rolling at just the thought of them, he stepped outside his house, feeling the cool air brush his face. He'd heard from Naruto that Ichiraku Ramen was a place you enjoyed going to, and, although cloud watching was more his confession style, he'd decided to step outside his comfort zone and take you there.
He walked over to your house with a bored expression, but in reality he was swimming with nerves.
Would you like him back? Would you like the food? Would you friendzone him? Would you admit you actually hated him and his lazy personality? The last one really hurt, though.
Shika never really cared about what people thought of him, but suddenly he was seeing he wasn't exactly boyfriend material. He wasn't a jock, nor a nerd, nor a basket case, or a pretty boy, just a really lazy, smartass guy.
What if Lazy guy wasn't your type?
Suddenly, the door clicked open when he was ready to turn back the way he came, and you walked out with a cute (fav/colour) dress on, and a huge smile.
You were surprised at seeing him at your house.
He fought a blush just looking at you, and looked you directly in the face, before a small smirk graced his lips.
"Wanna go out to Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto told me the Ramen's good and I was just walking outside your house when I felt hungry," He tried to stop smiling down fondly at you., "Y'know, as a date."
You, on the other hand, had never heard Shika talk a sentence that long without saying, 'man, what a drag' halfway through.
You were flabbergasted by his change in attitude, but were also glad you were trying dress-up randomly before he came,
"S-sure," DID YOU SERIOUSLY JUST STUTTER IN FRONT OF SHIKA?! Your mind screamed at you while Shikamaru smirked, noting it as a good sign.
Progress.
He smiled before walking ahead of you slightly, so you were left to look at his back until you arrived at your destination.
You sat down and ordered before you realised something. Shika was frowning and fidgeting, looking a bit uneasy but trying to mask it. It looked as if he was going to speak, but didn't want to say it.
You'd been around Shika long enough to know he had problems conveying his feelings, so you spoke before he might say something he regretted later on.
"Shika," You began softly, "You don't have to say it."
He looked surprised but quickly got over it
After all, your EQ was quite high and you'd known Shikamaru for some time now, living in the Nara household.
Since Shikamaru was such a strategical person, you knew maintaining relationships was hard for him, as the human mind was a mystery he couldn't understand.
Therefore, you figured whatever problem he had would be overcome with time.
He sighed in relief.
Things had been moving too fast for his liking
He was glad he hadn't said anything.
Maybe he'd tell you one day, you surely had some sort of idea on how he felt towards you.
He smiled as he watched you eat your (fav/food) from Ichiraku so quick you practically inhaled it.
What could you say? You were hungry.Chapter took forever but I'm glad I got it out. Thankyou ever-loyal readers :)
