Mad About You (1/1)
I was on the track this morning, getting my jive on, dcing my hair incognito, when this random thing wrote itself in my head. I'll post it now, before I chicken out, then probably put up the Skype thing with Ino and Sakura later after I do my other stuff. idk, I don't like it, because I actually do prefer canonverse to AU, but there's something appealing about these two bickering like an old married couple in this kind of environment. Like when they wake up, their first thoughts are: oh, god, it's you and why do I have to see your mug first thing in the morning. Bleh. It is what it is.

Summary: “I don’t know why it’s always so hard for you to admit how much you really like my sideburns. I never said it was a bad thing, you know.”
“Naruto.”
“Hm?”
“On your chin, is that-is that stubble?”
“You finally noticed, huh-yeah, I’m letting it grow out. What do you think?”
“...”
“Don’t laugh at me, you jerk.”
“You’re trying to grow facial hair.”
“And? What’s wrong with that? Lots of guys have facial hair. Matter of fact, Shikamaru’s had facial hair since forever. You never said anything about him. Why am I suddenly so different?”
“First of all, he’s Shikamaru. Facial hair suits a guy like him. Second of all, you’re you.”
“So?”
“You’re you.”
“What about my sideburns then?”
“Your sideburns don’t count.”
“Why not?”
“Because for some reason you actually think you can grow facial hair when you’ve never been able to do so before.”
“I don’t know why it’s always so hard for you to admit how much you really like my sideburns. I never said it was a bad thing, you know.”
“Don’t smile so freely about something like that. I've already told you I couldn’t care less about your sideburns.”
“Yeah, with the way you like to touch them, right-you’re just jealous because you can’t show off your manliness with a beard. Unlike me.”
“I don’t want facial hair.”
“Che. I bet you’ll change your mind when you see how amazing my beard will be.”
“That peach fuzz will never grow in. Just like you’ll never be taller than me.”
“Two centimetres, Sasuke-two centimetres.”
“Two centimetres more than you’ll ever have.”
“...whatever. I still say you’re just jealous about not being able to grow hair on your face. Because that’s always been an important part of being a man. Obviously.”
“Sure, Naruto. Never mind the fact your dad isn’t able to grow facial hair, either.”
“You’re surprisingly hairy down below, though.”
“...and you’d pay attention to that sort of thing, wouldn’t you.”
“I wouldn't let you expect anything less from me.”
