[Running into a certain pink haired girl reminded her of running into another newbie earlier...]

Oh, you're still here!

[Not even including his name or saying "Oh, good, you're still here."]

How are you handling things these days?

[If he thought she's here to check up on him, he'll deny him being correct, because surely she is here just to continue those one hand / one arm jokes. And yes, he may switch to audio or video anytime if that works better for him.]

[therapynojutsu]

[ It would be easier if he switched to audio but he’s been trying to practice texting one handed but it’s still slow going for him. ]

It’s still been a pain in the ass doing stuff but it’s getting a bit better. It’s nice to hear from you!

also probably should have put this up there as general too but like CW for lost limbs / arms

[changeitall]

[She has time to wait between his slow texts, so no rush or anything.]

Well, on one hand? At least no one will know what kind of old or new tricks you'll have up your sleeve.

[ . . . Okay, okay that wasn't her best but she's trying! Also...]

Okay, but more seriously, so I've heard from one of my best friends, who lost one of her arms years ago. Thank you, it's nice to see, that you're still around too.

[therapynojutsu]

[ The first message makes him laugh. ]

Good one. How have you been?

Action

[beginanew]

[There's a knock on Naruto's door, at evening, one day.]

It's me.

Re: Action

[therapynojutsu]

[ The door instantly opens and Naruto’s got a big grin and one arm instantly hugs around Sasuke like it or not. ]

Sasuke!

[beginanew]

[Sasuke sighs, but there's a small smile on his face, even if he doesn't return the hug.]

How are you?

[therapynojutsu]

[ not getting shoved away or punched is more or less the same as getting hugged back in Sasukelish. ]

I’m great! I can’t believe you’re really here!! Come in! I have some ramen. You wanna eat right?

[beginanew]

[Sasuke sighs, and shakes his head.]

Unless you have something else, I don't want it.

[he still listens and walks into the home.]

You live here by yourself?

[therapynojutsu]

What do you got against ramen??

[ Naruto huffs because honestly Sasuke… ]

Yeah. It’s bigger than my place in Konoha, though!

[ not that that’s saying much at all. ]

[beginanew]

It's not against ramen, but I know for a fact you don't have anything else.

[Sasuke looks around, nodding.]

Not bad.

[therapynojutsu]

Huh? So what are you saying then? Are you not hungry?

[ it’s kind of weird and yet not to be talking to sasuke like this. It’s so normal. ]

You’re really here…

[beginanew]

...I am, a little bit.

[Sasuke stares at Naruto, confused at the comment.]

Yes? I am.

[therapynojutsu]

[ Naruto is confused too. Did he miss something? Did he misunderstand something? ]

So you do wanna have ramen?

[ or did he want something else?! Naruto is confused. ]

[beginanew]

[Sasuke sighs, not wanting to entertain the thought of Naruto missing him, or something.]

Not particularly, but I am hungry.

[So he'll eat the ramen.]

[therapynojutsu]

[ Naruto finally just rolls his eyes and throws his hand up in the air before shooting a grin at Sasuke. ]

Come give me a hand then.

[ Yes, Naruto is snickering obnoxiously at that. ]

[beginanew]

Can't.

[Sasuke smirks.]

I need it.

[He does go to help Naruto with the food though.]

[therapynojutsu]

[ Naruto snickers and it's kind of nice that Sasuke played along with the joke. He takes advantage of Sasuke helping and it does make it easier. He tries never to complain but he's had a lot of trouble adjusting since he came here.

All in all, ramen doesn't take long to get ready even for two and soon it's served on the table with tea for the both of them too! ]

Thanks for the food!

[beginanew]

Thanks.

[Sasuke didn't realize how hungry he was until the food was in front of him. He takes his utensils and just goes to town on that ramen.

It's delicious as all hell.

He takes a sip of his tea, then continues eating, until he's doing.]

....Thank you.

[therapynojutsu]

[ Naruto eats eagerly and at the same time he’s enjoying seeing Sasuke eat too. Food isn’t as hard to deal with as it had been at first but it definitely isn’t something he does as fast as he used to when he could use both hands. But he sucks down every bit of the soup from the ramen and sets the bowl down again and grins over at Sasuke. ]

It’s really the best.

[ Well… ]

Well, not as good at Ichiraku’s…

[beginanew]

I don't think we will ever get on Ichiraku's level by ourselves.

[That is actually really good ramen, after all.]

I should get going.

[therapynojutsu]

Not if you think that way!

[ Naruto scolds while patting his stomach with his hand and then looking at Sasuke when he mentions going. ]

Go where?

[beginanew]

We will never get on his level. That's his trademark.

[what do you mean where?]

...Outside?

[He pretty much invited himself to your home Naruto, he's not gonna over stay!]

[therapynojutsu]

That's true...!

[ Naruto frowns and stands up and looks like he's contemplating blocking the door. ]

Why would you go outside?!

[beginanew]

...To leave? Your home?

[Why is Naruto confused holy shit.]
