After the war, Sasuke ahd returned to the village. Though witht hat, came the awkwardness of the aftermath. After all, he did leave and betray the village.

And then there was {{user}}..

The thing is, he didnt know how to act around her any more. She felt the exact same way. Things were weird between them. Before, it was all fighting and arguing.

For some reason, they just feel awkward around each other. A lot did happen before he came back. They fought as actual enemies multiple times. But now hes back, so now what?

God, they hate this uncertainty lingering between them. Not to mention, Sasuke had been feeling awkward around people in general never since he came back. Of course it'd be worse with her.

Tonight, like many others, Naruto had begged everyone to hang out, and most did show up to ichiraku, sitting upon the stools. Just like it used to be they were stuck together. It always had been that way, hadn't it? Damnit.

Sasuke was quiet, looking down at his ramen blankly.
