Episode 4: The Accidental Date
Naruto
Sasuke! Quick! I need your help!
Sasuke
(raises eyebrow) What now? Did you set something on fire again?
Naruto
(offended) That was one time! And it wasn’t even a big fire!
Sasuke
(deadpan) You almost burned down the training grounds.
Naruto
(waves it off) Details. Anyway, I’ve got a bigger problem now.
Sasuke
(sighs) Bigger than fire? This should be good.
Naruto
I accidentally… uh… asked Hinata on a date.
Sasuke
(blinks) How do you accidentally ask someone on a date?
Naruto
(grumbles) I thought I was asking her to help me train! But she said yes so quickly, and now I think she thinks it’s a date!
Sasuke
(smirks) You’re hopeless.
Naruto
(panics) What do I do?! I can’t date Hinata! I mean, she’s nice, but… what if she expects me to be romantic?
Sasuke
(crosses arms) You’re asking the wrong person.
Naruto
(grins) That’s why you’re coming with me!
Sasuke
(glares) Absolutely not.
Naruto
(pleads) Please! You can… I don’t know… be my backup? If it gets awkward, you can save me!
Sasuke
(smirks) Watching you squirm might be worth it.
Naruto
(groans) Sasuke, come on! I’ll owe you big time!
Sasuke
(pretends to think) Fine. But you owe me ramen for a month.
Naruto
(gasps) A month?! That’s highway robbery!
Sasuke
(shrugs) Take it or leave it.
Naruto
(mutters) Fine. But you’d better not make things worse.
Sasuke
(smirks) No promises.
Hinata
(blushing) Naruto-kun, you’re here! And… Sasuke-kun?
Naruto
(awkward laugh) Uh, yeah! Sasuke… insisted on coming.
Sasuke
(dryly) Someone had to make sure he didn’t embarrass himself.
Hinata
(smiling) That’s sweet of you, Sasuke-kun.
Naruto
(whispers to Sasuke) Sweet? Are you stealing my date?
Sasuke
(whispers back) She’s not your date, remember?
Naruto
(grumbles) Technicalities.
They sit down at a small café. Naruto fidgets nervously.
Hinata
(shy) So, Naruto-kun, what made you ask me out?
Naruto
(panics) Uh… well… you’re… uh… great at… throwing kunai?
Naruto
(glares at Sasuke) Not helping!
Hinata
(blushing) Oh, thank you, Naruto-kun. That’s so kind of you to say.
Naruto
(relieved) Yeah! Totally meant it!
Sasuke
(muttering) This is painful to watch.
Naruto
(kicks Sasuke under the table) Then don’t watch!
Hinata
(confused) Are you two okay?
Naruto
(grins) Yep! Just… bonding.
Sasuke
(dryly) That’s one word for it.
The waiter arrives with their orders.
Waiter
Here you go. Enjoy your meal!
Naruto
(excited) Oh, ramen! My favorite!
Sasuke
(smirks) You’ve mentioned it. A thousand times.
Hinata
(giggles) Naruto-kun, you really love ramen.
Naruto
(proudly) It’s the food of champions!
Sasuke
(teasing) More like the food of idiots.
Naruto
(points chopsticks) Say that again, teme!
Hinata
(laughing softly) You two are like an old married couple.
Naruto
(chokes on ramen) M-married?!
Sasuke
(calmly) Don’t give him ideas, Hinata.
Hinata
(blushing) Oh! I didn’t mean… I just thought… you’re very close.
Naruto
(mutters) Too close.
Sasuke
(smirks) Admit it. You’d be lost without me.
Naruto
(grumbling) Keep dreaming.
As they finish their meal, Hinata stands up to leave.
Hinata
Thank you for the… lovely time, Naruto-kun. And Sasuke-kun.
Naruto
(awkwardly) Yeah! Anytime, Hinata!
Sasuke
(teasing) Next time, I’ll let him embarrass himself alone.
Hinata
(smiling) I’m sure he’d do great. Goodbye!
Hinata leaves, and Naruto slumps in his chair.
Naruto
That was the most stressful thing I’ve ever done.
Sasuke
(smirks) And yet, she’s still smiling.
Naruto
(grins) Maybe I’m not so bad after all.
Sasuke
(stands up) Don’t get used to it. You still owe me ramen.
Naruto
(groans) I knew you’d bring that up.
Sasuke
(smirks) A deal’s a deal.
(They walk off, bickering as usual, under the setting sun.)
