sasuke uchiha | NARUTO | 7/7
Sometimes, Sasuke didn't even know why he bothered with people. There were reasons why they were there, sure - team-mates, fellow ninja, his comrades (although, really, he preferred to think of Naruto and Sakura as his back-up) - but why he actually listened to the nonsense sounds they made and opened his mouth and replied to their stupidity, he didn't know. Maybe it was because he knew that they would only be more annoying if he ignored them, what with Sakura's sulking and Naruto's loud obnoxiousness and Kakashi's subtle prodding. Or maybe it was just something he did without thinking now, responding to their conversation like a reflex. He liked to think it was the former.
Every now and then, they were alright. No, they were tolerable. But sometimes - this time - he would be perfectly content for them to be out of his life.
"Sasuke-kun, um - did you hear me? So, what's your favourite food?"
He shot a glare at Sakura, and although she winced, she didn't back down. Maybe a few months ago, she would have, but he'd found that she and Naruto were becoming noticeably more comfortable around him. Whether it was time, or something they'd both realised, or something he had done to make it that way, he wasn't sure. All he knew was that it got really annoying sometimes. (But it was better than when saying a single word would get him strange looks, or when Sakura would tremble with fear around him, or when Naruto threatened to beat him into the ground for so much as breathing oddly.)
"Why do you want to know?" he asked stiffly, taking another bite of onigiri. Behind him, Naruto was grumbling about something or other, but he blocked the idiot out.
Sakura blushed a little and smiled nervously. "Well, I was sort of hoping I could try and cook something for you! For practice, you know. Not specific practice or anything, just, cooking practice and— oh, you know what I mean—"
He rolled his eyes at her. Stupid reasons, as usual. "I don't really have a favourite food," he said, relenting. He heard Naruto speak up over his shoulder, Sakura-chan, I have a favourite—, and he interrupted smoothly over the top of the blonde, "But I hate ramen. And I hate sweet things, too." Her face fell a little at that - he raised an eyebrow, wondering what he'd said to make her look so crestfallen - but she smiled again quickly.
"Well, is there anything you like? It doesn't have to be a favourite..."
"Like I said, not reall—"
"He really loves tomatoes."
Three heads snapped up in almost impressive unison and gawked at their squad leader, who hadn't looked up from his book. "What?" said Sakura and Naruto, and Sasuke tried to vehemently deny it, hissing, "I do not—"
"He made a funny face the last time he was eating a tomato. It's definitely tomatoes." Sakura started to happily chatter away and list off tomato-based things she could make for him, Naruto complained about how boring it was, and while Sasuke scowled, Kakashi looked up at him for a second and smiled. "Don't look so angry at me, Sasuke. It was sort of cute. You should make that kind of face more often, it's better than this scary one you always have."
"What the hell—"
"Oi, oi, it really is tomatoes! Look, everything in here has tomatoes in it! Bastard, that's so weird, you seriously like fruits and vegetables and all that stuff? Ewww! I knew Sasuke was a strange guy, but this is way too much!"
"—do you think you're doing?! That's my bag you're going through! Don't touch my things, idiot!"
"Ow— jerk, you didn't have to kick me!"
"Then don't go near my stuff, loser!"
"Asshole!"
"Dead-last!"
"Dumb bastard!"
"Total idiot!"
Sometimes he didn't know why he bothered with them. They weren't even annoying. They were intolerable. Insufferable. They weren't even worth his time or his effort or every retort he always threw back at them. (But then, other times, he knew exactly why he bothered with them, and why he gave them his time and his effort and every word he could stand to say. Those times were just something of a rarity; few and far-between.)
