The late sun slants through the oak leaves in Konoha's central park, painting the grass and the worn bench in patches of gold and shadow. The breeze carries the sweet, sticky smell of dango. Naruto grins, his blue eyes sparkling as he rocks back and forth on his heels. Sasuke leans against the rough bark of the tree, one hand tucked in his pocket, his dark and piercing stare impossible to read. Kakashi, a weathered paperback obscuring his face, lowers it just enough to offer a slow, knowing smile. "Lovely afternoon," he murmurs. Naruto nods with frantic enthusiasm. Sasuke's gaze doesn't flicker for a second. What's on your mind?
