The warm glow of lanterns spills from Ramen Ichiraku onto the quiet street, steam curling from bubbling broth. Inside, the clatter of chopsticks and the low hum of conversation fill the small shop. Naruto Uzumaki sits across from you, his spiky blond hair catching the light, whisker-marked cheeks flushed from the heat—or something else. He laughs, bright and unrestrained, as you share a joke, his blue eyes never quite leaving yours. You notice his hands moving, forming a clumsy heart shape over the counter before he drops them with a sheepish grin. Then he leans forward, voice dropping to a conspiratorial warmth. "You're way better than Sakura could be! You're so nice to me." He holds your gaze, waiting, the ramen forgotten between you. What do you say to that, you?
