He was still sulking. Only, it wasn't really sulking at all because he had a totally valid reason for moping around over the last few days. His last meeting with Sasuke had gone terribly, and adjusting to a life that didn't involve at least seeing his best friend for something to eat at least was taking it's toll on him.

It wasn't that he needed to spend time with Sasuke, or anyone else for that matter to be the happy, carefree individual that he tended to be. Only, he couldn't possibly hold on to that carefree feeling. There was absolutely nothing he could do to make Sasuke stop blaming him for what had happened, and by this point, Naruto was beginning to feel completely and utterly at fault, despite Gaara's reassurances, and those of the other people who had been affected deeply by the events of the previous week.

So, he's wandering through the city, trying to find something to occupy his mind with. He wasn't needed at the job he'd managed to get himself, and he vaguely wondered if that was because of all the mistakes he'd made the other day... perhaps he was on the hunt for a job, or to bump into a friendly face. Anything to make him stop thinking about that.

Following to the tablr, Sasuke pulls out a seat on the opposite side of the table and sits, immediately reaching for some of the napkins placed there to hold on his nose.

"There's a menu in front of you, moron." It's right there. On the table. Pick it up. He hasn't set foot in this place before now, how is he supposed to know?

[kuramaless]

It's really good to finally sit down, and he practically slumps in his seat before reaching out for that menu, not tired enough that he can't throw a frown in Sasuke's direction.

Sweeping it up, instantly his expression changes. Except it's a grin that sends pain coursing through his face, and he reaches up with his free hand to press his fingers against his cheek in the hopes that it might make it stop.

"Ow. Ah, they've got loads of stuff." It's mumbled, but he sets the menu down on top of the table, shifting forward to slide it between them. "Steaks, burgers... noodles."

Sasuke takes the menu and glances over it, looking up briefly to watch Naruto nursing his cheek. His own wasn't much better as eh continued to press napkins against it. In fact, he looks around in search for the bathrooms before setting the menu down.

"Order me some noodles." He replies, already pushing his seat back and standing up before heading to the bathroom. Maybe it will look better once he has washed the dried blood off.

"Noodles?" The surprise in his tone might be obvious, but he's too busy looking up at what Sasuke's doing to question any further.

"Okay--" The menu has a bunch of different kinds on it, but he likes to think he knows Sasuke well enough to make a well informed decision on the kind he'd like to eat.

By the time Sasuke comes back... he'll have two glasses of water on the table, and two bowls of noodles coming right up. He's not nursing his own face any more, just pulling strange faces in an attempt to stop it feeling so weird.

Five minutes later and he's back, looking a little better now. No more fresh blood on his face, at least, but there's a rather obvious and nasty looking bruise forming on his nose, as well as on the knuckles of his left hand.

He sits down again, content with not saying anything and simply sipping at the glass of water.

[kuramaless]

Sasuke looks much better. Naruto even nods at his own thoughts, but bringing it up as a topic of conversation is only going to end sourly, and he's grown up enough now to realise that.

Instead, he mimics his friend, picking up his water and drinking a few mouthfuls. "Food better not be that long. I'm starvin'."

It'll arrive once it's ready, which probably won't be for a while. Not until they've cooked it. Of course he doesn't actually say this, instead offering Naruto some vague look which says he at least heard what he said.

He'll just drink some more water.

He never had any patience, less so now that he and Sasuke had not only beaten the crap out of each other, but also made friends again. Falling out with his best friend brought with it a huge change in his mood. His appetite had suffered, and now he just had to make up for it.

He sipped his own water... and glanced over his shoulder again.
