Staring at each other, Naruto raised an eyebrow at his friend, before snickering softly into his drink. The brunet huffed and nearly growled at the blond menace before sitting back in his chair and tapping his pencil on the table top between them.

“Right, right, bite me,” Hayate huffed, shaking his head with a wary grin. Brushing a bit of hair back, he coughed quietly before taking a swallow of the tea before him. “So, where are you living while you move out of bitch’s place?” he asked, watching as Naruto played with his straw.

“I don’t know really,” he started, lips pursing in thought. “We have three weeks to move out or else we’re gonna be screwed big time.”

“So, she’s getting kicked out to?” the older man asked.

“Yeah, since I’m the one who holds the lease,” Naruto replied, before sipping at his own drink, Hayate’s eyebrow once more rising up.

“I thought she did.: Naruto shook his head, taking a spoon to his slushie to break it up. “That’s what she said at least, that she was lease holder and was spending the most money on bills and shit.”

“And there we find the main reason why I’m ditching her happy little ass,” the blond snorted, waving his spoon before licking it clean. Hayate grunted before drinking a bit of his tea, the slushie sloshing around a bit, watching as Naruto’s nose wrinkled.

He had known the bouncy blond for quite a few years but had yet to figure out what went on in his head most of the time. Naruto had started dating Sakura around the time Hayate had graduated, leaving them to finish their last year without him. But he and Naruto had kept in touch and Hayate had heard all about the couple’s relationship.

He had an inkling even then that they wouldn’t last. And he wasn’t the least bit surprised that they were breaking apart now.

“At least you didn’t ask her to marry you after all,” Hayate drawled, getting a laugh from Naruto along with a shake of his he ad.

“Yeah. My grandmother is spinning in her grave, I just know it,” Naruto moaned, receiving a laugh in return who lightly coughed afterwards. “How’s the lungs?”

“Better. Tsunade-san is rather amazing in that way,” Hayate replied, waving his glass to the waitress. “I’m rather glad you bugged me into going to see her,” he continued, reaching over and pulling a bit of blond hair, getting a pout.

“I’m glad I did to,” Naruto hummed, smoothing his hair back into place. Smiling, the two ordered fresh slushies, Naruto teasing his friend about the tea slushie he loved and Hayate teasing him about having a love affair with the guava fruit slushie that he always ordered. They rather enjoyed their time together, even if they did want more then what they had.
