Chapter Text
Naruto:
You had everything planned out for a perfect Thursday night. There was Netflix, your favourite drinks, a ridiculous amount of fluffy blankets and pillows and… just one thing was missing: Your favourite food. With a smile on your face you stalked into the kitchen, opening the drawer above the stove to find it empty. Oh no. Had you ran out of it?? No way in hell…
A disappointed sigh left your throat. That meant you´d have to make a trip to the grocery store and your quality time had to wait. You just threw on a coat over your outfit that consisted of a simple shirt and sweatpants and went outside into the chilling august breeze.
There was a store only some minutes away from you. As you wanted to round the corner, you ran into a fluffy but solid thing that made you fall backwards onto your butt. You blinked a couple of times before you realized it had been a dog. Not just a simple one, it was the size of a wolf but looked like a living teddy bear. All in all - the cutest dog you'd ever seen.
You didn't even take notice his owner and leaned forwards to scratch the dog behind its ear. It responded by wagging its tail and licking your hand in a friendly and excited way.
"Ehm. Excuse me, Miss. I'm really sorry for my dog, we were just taking a walk, you know, and he's always really keen on running and stuff so I know he wasn't planning on toppling you over. Please forgive him."
Wow, this guy could talk till your ear bled, you thought but as you looked up you were quite surprised to find that he was also really... Cute. The boy had blonde tousled hair and lively blue eyes. He reached out his hand to help you stand up.
"I'm Naruto and this is Ramen." The dog barked as it heard its name and it made you giggle softly.
"I'm (y/n), I was just about to grab something from the corner store-"
"Oh, just like me!" The boys snicker filled the air and you couldn't help but smile. The owner was just like his dog – adorable. There was something special of him and you couldn´t help but he instantly attracted to his sweet smile.
"Can I walk him to the corner?" You asked a little hesitantly, looking at Ramen who was sitting right in front of you, looking back into your eyes and wagging his tail. Some part of you really wanted to walk him, some part was scared to do so and the other part just wanted to spend more time with Naruto and his dog.
"Erm… Sure." The blonde boy grinned and handed you the leash. "Just be careful cause he is really strong."
You smiled back at Naruto, feeling your heart pound a little faster but then Ramen gave a good thug forwards and you almost tripped.
Walking the dog worked well for approximately 0,5 minutes, because suddenly Ramen sprinted forwards in an enormous speed, dragging you along with him. In the heat of the moment you just didn't think of letting go of the leash, while behind you Naruto tried to get him to slow down.
"H-hey, don't run! Easy, Ramen, easy!" The wolf-sized dog dashed on without a blink whatsoever.
After a good 15 meters you let go of the leash, tripping over a stone and falling onto the ground. Well, this surely wasn't ideal. Ramen ran off while Naruto shouted all kinds of commands.
“Ramen, sit! Lay down! You stupid dog, stay here! Just SIT for god´s sake! Oh come on…. Pleaaase?”
He arrived next to you and leaned down, a look of guilt and embarrassment washing over his features.
"Aw man, I'm terribly sorry..."
Your gaze found his and you did your best to smile . "It's okay, I think I'm fine." As you tried standing up, a sharp pain went through your ankle, making you inhale sharply and fall back down.
"Oh no, are you alright?" Naruto asked, sounding really concerned as he leaned over your ankle. It seemed to be alright judging from the outside.
"Mhh, I gotta bring you home somehow..." He mumbled. You blushed a little as his light eyes locked with yours.
"May I?"
You blushed even more and nodded, feeling your heart pound faster in your chest as Naruto wrapped his arms around you and carried you bridal style. Actually, the pain in your ankle wasn´t that bad. You´d just wanted Naruto to do the exact thing he did right now. You felt a bit guilty for tripping him, but he carried you with such an ease that it seemed like it really was no problem for him. And you really didn´t want to get out of his arms.
"Don't worry about Ramen, he's gonna come back in a bit."
And just as he spoke that, Ramen trotted back from around a corner, a stick in his mouth. He stopped before the two of you, wagging its tail as he laid the stick in front of Naruto's feet.
You could say that you felt very safe in his arms. Apparently, he was a lot stronger than he looked like.
"Okay, just err, lead the way." He said a little awkwardly and you nodded.
"Ramen isn't trained very well, is he?" You asked with a grin on your lips.
Naruto smiled awkwardly, shaking his head in defeat. "I was trying to train him, believe me, but he just wouldn't listen!"
Your home was literally around the corner. It was only a 2 minute walk, this time Ramen followed without any incidents.
Naruto stopped in front of your door, letting you stand on your own.
"So... I hope you don't live on the third floor or something."
You chuckled. "Don't worry, I do, but we got a lift. But thank you for carrying me."
You couldn't deny that you missed being in Naruto's arms. Now that you examined him further, he seemed to have just the right amount of muscles. It amazed you how careful he´d treated you nonetheless.
Just as you were about to enter the apartment building, you remembered your food.
“Oh no… I forgot the (fav food)…”
Naruto thought for a second, then grinned at you. “Hey, what about if Ramen and I deliver it to you? I mean the shop´s just around the corner and we owe you for your ankle!”
You took a moment, then nodded. “Okay.” It would give you the opportunity to see Naruto once more. Somehow you really didn’t want to part from him. It was a little strange to feel this way for someone you´d literally just met, but Naruto seemed to be trustworthy even though he was a little foolish.
“See you, then.”
You said and smiled back at him while he waved back at you, already on the other side of the street.
Sasuke:
In the last weeks your shoulders had gotten awfully convulsed. That often resulted in headaches and headaches resulted in you being particularly moody and hissing at everyone that dared to disturb you in your pain, so one thing was sure. You needed something to relax those muscles. And what could be better than sport? Basketball, to be precise.
You´d been in the basketball team of your high school but hadn´t played since then. Your skills should be good though. As you stepped into the sports hall of the gym near your place, you noticed there was a single guy on the field. Nothing spectacular, he was only doing some training, so it seemed.
Actually there was supposed to be woman´s training session at 3, but the boy on the field was too caught up in his own match to keep a close eye on the time. With a small sigh you sat down on one of the seats at the side-lines, surprised as you saw that not only you, but a bunch of other women sat there. It looked like they were all watching the match with eagle´s eyes, making you slightly uncomfortable.
As you examined the boy further, you couldn´t help but frown. He was rather experienced and played quite good. He had raven black hair and rushed over the field like his feet didn´t even touch the ground, bouncing the ball around a boy that was taller than him with ease, not letting anyone steal his treasure. He shot hoop after hoop, making the girls on the side cheer for him. At the back of his jersey stood `Uchiha´.
Another 10 minutes passed and you were getting impatient. Did he think he owned this place? You could feel yourself scowl at him. You didn´t came here to watch others play, you wanted to do it yourself, damn it.
Just as you thought that, the boy with the raven hair did something that seemed to cast a magic spell on the girls next to you. Due to his intense training and sweating, he took off his shirt, pulling it over his head to reveal a toned body with smooth abs. You had to admit he looked good, though that still didn´t change the fact that he was more than late with ending the training.
It was half past two. Now you had enough. You stood up from your chair.
“Hey!” You yelled through the hall. Oh, that was a rather loud echo. Every head turned to you and the two boys even stopped playing, looking at you irritated since you disturbed their match. You scowled back at them, your eyes locking with those of the Uchiha.
“You should have stopped playing half an hour ago. I´m not gonna wait anymore for you to finish.”
To prove your point, you stepped out onto the training field, still glaring into the boy’s coal black eyes. He examined you for a moment then scoffed and smirked at you.
“Quite impatient, aren´t you? Don´t worry, I was finished now anyways. You must be really good if you´re so keen on training. Or maybe exactly the opposite.”
He passed you the ball in an instant. You were surprised yourself as you caught it. Seemed like you still had some skills from high school. His eyes lingered on you still, challenging. With a huff you threw the ball in the direction of the basket, missing it greatly.
Uchiha huffed mockingly and walked passed you. “Looks like it was the latter. Keep training, you looser.”
And with this, he left, leaving you behind with eyes glaring so hard it would´ve surprised no one if actual lasers shot out of them.
Kakashi:
Oh hell no. How did you end up in this situation? Your teeth clenched as you put two packages of milk in your shopping basket. Hopefully the store also sold swimming pools because you wanted to drown yourself after this was over (this was the lamest joke I ever made, I apologize deeply).
You had just wanted to buy some cornflakes and milk when you´d spotted this man in the meat section. No amount of self-confidence could overshadow this bright silver hair.
Old feelings, good and bad ones welled up inside your mind. Kakashi had left you hurt and broken. And now there he was, doing a casual shopping tour. Probably he bought food for a lovely evening with his girlfriend. The thought made you want to puke.
You just wanted to keep your distance from this bastard. With an angry scowl on your face that easily made the other costumers mind where they stood, you tried to go anywhere without meeting this idiot. Various bad memories replayed in your head, and with confusion you realized that you were standing in the animal food section.
Right, Kakashi had always bought dog food. Only the thought made you even angrier and you snapped one of the cans and glared at it.
“Oh, just what I was looking for.”
Inch by inch, your head turned to look at the figure next to you. Of course it was him. Oblivious to your very obvious glare, Kakashi took the can out of your hands.
“Thanks.” And with these words he disappeared. You were seething with anger, now you´d even helped him! Being inside the same building with him was already painful enough! Your anger had to be let out.
“Hey!” You shouted at the silver haired man who turned around, a questioning look on his always indifferent looking face. Quickly you noticed that you were at a complete lack of words, the flames of anger that surrounded you disappearing into thin air.
“Are you gonna say something or can I-“
“I didn´t give you the dog food because I wanted to help you, okay?!”
Damn, this was pathetic. You needed something to tease him with. “A-Anyways, I bet this is just a fitting meal for Jennifer!”
Kakashi blinked. “Jennifer?” The fact that you had an argument – a pretty loud one, from your side – in the middle of a super market was ridiculous but you didn´t care. Never in your life did you want to see him again. He had rejected your feelings for him and broke your heart. This man did not deserve any mercy.
“Can´t you even remember the name of your own girlfriend now??”
“Oh, right.” Kakashi gave you his closed-eye smile. “We broke up long ago.”
And with this, he left. Leaving you as a stuttering, confused mess behind in the dog food section.
Gaara:
A sigh left your throat as you turned your head away from your friend, looking out of the window onto the busy street in slight desperation.
“Come on, you haven´t dated in a long time, just give it a shot.” Ino tried to cheer you up and even while you were facing the window, you could feel her emphatic stare.
“I only want the best for you.” The blonde girl mumbled as you still refused to look at her. The feeling of guilt made you let out another sigh and finally give in. “Okay. But don´t get more excited about it than me.”
Ino smirked triumphantly. “I´ll promise you´ll two fit together perfectly! I showed him pictures of you and damn, you should´ve seen his blush! He´s shy at first but wait till you get to know him better.”
“You did WHAT?”
So there you were, preparing for your arranged date that Ino had settled for you. It was strange to meet up with someone that you´d never seen or talked to before but your friend tried to set you up with someone all the time and you had to give in once in a while. She only wanted the best for you after all (and the chance to go on a double date with her boyfriend and you).
Your image reflected in the silver doorframe of the small coffee shop and you stopped for a moment, one hand gripping the handle while the other one pushed a strand of hair in its place. Ino told you he would wait for you at the red table. Your eyes darted over the room while you awkwardly stood at the entrance, features easing as you spotted the red tablecloth and strode over. You were trying to push the rising nervousness down into the back of your head, catching your fingers at how they played with the rim of your jacket.
It seemed like he was already there, sitting with his back facing you at the small table. Oh damn her, she knew you had a thing for redheads.
Just as you were about to reach the table, the redhead turned around and spotted you. He stood up, shooting you a very small, very cute but also slightly insecure smile.
“Hello, I`m Gaara. You must be (y/n), right?”
You nodded and shot a gentle smile back as you went around the table to sit at the other end of it.
“Ino told you me you like to drink (fav drink), so I already ordered some…”
You couldn´t help but suppress a giggle. Something about him was just a little funny. “Thanks, that´s really nice of you.” There was a small moment of silence where no one really knew what to say. You knew literally nothing about each other and you could sense that he seemed to be more of the shy, silent type so you made the first step.
“Is this location alright with you?” Gaara looked to the side, nodding slowly after a while. You bit your lip, sensing that he only nodded to probably don´t bother you although he was uncomfortable.
“We could also go outside, the weather is really beautiful.”
Gaara looked up from his plate and you were amazed to look into seafoam-coloured, almost turquoise eyes. Oh damn her.
Once outside, Gaara changed completely. He got livelier, more willing to talk and smile. Probably the noise and little space had made him uncomfortable. At the end of the day, you knew that he had two older siblings, studied architecture, had a love for cats and birds and was an awesome guitar player.
Not bad for a first date. Ino asked about everything and as you admitted that you´d like to see him again she almost strangled you in a hug.
Orochimaru: (I made up a last name for him)
It was only some headaches, you told yourself, they would go away. But after two pills of pain killers and a whole bucket of water the aches still kept pounding in your head. That´s it, you thought to yourself, I`m gonna need a new doctor. The last one had prescribed you five different pills for your always returning headaches and none of them had worked! Just the side effects had kicked in and you had gotten to a point where you were really fed up with the whole situation.
With a steaming head you entered the new doctor´s office that had opened up in your neighbourhood a month ago. The blonde receptionist told you to sit down in the waiting room. You closed your eyes, trying to blend out the pain in your head while the other patients flipped pages of magazines or had quiet phone talks. After a few minutes a nurse called your name and you followed her into a white, sterile room full of tools and medical-looking things, where she left you alone with your new doctor who was currently arranging some things in the back of the room.
He looked up from his work and oh.my.god. Your heart stopped for a second, then started beating rapidly in your chest. Apparently, not only had your doctor a p.h.d. in medicine, he also had long silky black hair and the most mesmerizing eyes you had ever seen. Not to mention flawless pale skin and a very sexy smirk. He was freaking gorgeous.
“Ms (y/n), right? You called today, saying you had an issue with…?”
The sight made you clutch your heart in awe as it tried to jump out of its cage and you felt week in the knees.
“My….my heart…”
The doctor´s eyes widened. “That sounds rather serious.”
“No, no! I mean, I got headaches…”
He tilted his head to the side a bit in slight confusion which made your situation only more difficult at how cute he looked. To relieve your knees and also to reduce the chance of fainting from a love-overdosed heart, you sat down on the nearest seat while Mr. Smart-and-gorgeous turned around and grabbed something from a drawer. Oh god. You were not just about to fall in love with this man at first glance, right? Right??
“Is it one-sided?” Asked his velvety voice.
Your face changed in shock.
“I don´t hope so!” Wait. “Oh, you meant the pain! Err yes, it´s one-sided…”
You wanted to slap yourself for being so incompetent, but your doctor walked towards you with a sweet smile on his face. He looked even better when he smiled. Holy moly.
“Try this, I think it will work wonders on your pain.”
You got lost in his eyes for a few seconds after you realized that he was holding out his hand to you. Quickly you readjusted your eyes to find that he was holding a bag of tea in his hand. Yep. Tea. Well, it was a welcomed change after all of these pills. After hesitating a little you took the small bag from his hand, fighting a blush as your fingers touched. You did a quick check. No wedding ring, hell yes!
You looked back up at your doctor, only to see that he had been watching the whole time with a smile. Probably your cheeks looked like you´d used too much blush by now. “Thanks, Mr…”
“Saito.”
He led you back to the door and opened it up for you. Before you went out, you gave him a shy smile.
“Have a good day, Mr Saito”
He smirked in return and you walked out of the office with a spring in your step, clutching the bag of tea to your chest, headaches long forgotten.
