Recipe for Success

 

Sasuke knew that from the moment that Naruto announced his arrival in the kitchen that hiring him was a bad idea. He had absolutely no knowledge of food whatsoever and made the other chefs in the kitchen extremely irritated. He had even messed up the simple task of putting a roast in the oven, which even the stupidest of people could do.

 

“But I guess that Naruto is on an even greater level of stupidity,” Sasuke mumbled as he put the last of the fires out that Naruto had started in the oven.

 

“HEY!” Naruto shouted behind Sasuke, causing him to jump and hit his head on the top of the oven. “What do I get to do now?! Huh? Huh? HUH?”

 

Sasuke spun around and looked him straight in the eye. He yanked the towel that was hung around his neck and slapped it in Naruto's hand.

 

“You…will…clean…DISHES!”

 

Naruto's jaw dropped. “YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! SASUKE, YOU ARE SUCH A DICK!”

 

Sasuke clenched his fist. “Just remember who gave you this job,” he hissed.

 

He grabbed a dish of newly made chicken marsala off of the counter and stormed his way out of the kitchen. He stomped off to the correct table (table four) and slammed down the dish.

 

“Here ya go,” he muttered, turning on his heel and about to walk away.

 

He stopped in his tracks as he heard a loud squeal. Well, actually, two loud squeals.

 

“EEKKKK!!! LOOK, INO-PIG!!! IT'S SASUKE-KUN!!!”

 

“SASUKE-KUN! OVER HERE, OVER HERE!!”

 

Sasuke winced as he turned around. `Great…looks like after all this time, the fan club is still alive.”

 

He plastered a fake smile on his face as he turned back around. “Sakura, Ino, great to see you again.”

 

Sakura held her hand over her heart and her eyes shown. “Oh, Sasuke-kun! You're a chef now?! EEEK! That's so amazing!”

 

Ino giggled. “Oh Sasuke-kun! You must make so much money and your food must be so wonderful!” She leaned over the table. “So are you supporting any lucky lady yet with all that money?”

 

The smile immediately vanished from Sasuke's face. “Uh, heh heh…”

 

“Oh…I'm I interrupting something?”

 

Sasuke rolled his eyes as he felt Shizuka grab hold of his arm and snuggle up close to him. He didn't take it seriously. She was just doing that to make Sakura and Ino jealous. And she was succeeding quite well.

 

Sakura's mouth dropped and she pointed at Shizuka. “SASUKE-KUN!” She roared. “Who-who is that?”

 

Shizuka giggled and flipped her blonde hair. Sasuke sighed.

 

“Sakura, Ino, I'd like you to meet…my wife.”

 

It was like a bomb had been dropped on table number four. Sakura and Ino were now standing up and staring at Shizuka in awe.

 

“Your-your WIFE?!”

 

Sasuke let some air out of his mouth. “Yup.”

 

Shizuka pressed even closer. “You heard him, dearest.” She held out her left hand. “We're married! And guess what?” She lowered her voice. “We have hot, passionate sex every single night!”

 

Sakura and Ino continued to stare at her until finally Sakura burst into tears and ran out of the restaurant. Ino stared after her, startled, and ran after her.

 

“Sakura! Come back!”

 

Shizuka sighed and squeezed Sasuke's arm. “It was nice meeting you!” She called after them.

 

Sasuke ran his hand through his hair. “Really, Shizuka, that wasn't necessary.” He frowned. “And we lost customers, too.”

 

Shizuka let go of his arm. “I just want people to know that you're my man.” She stuck out her tongue. “Aren't I such a bitch?”

 

“Tell me about it,” Sasuke said under his breath.

 

“What?”

 

“Nothing.”

 

Shizuka shrugged. “Well, whatever. I better get going to my doctor's appointment.”

 

Sasuke raised his eyebrow. “You have a doctor's appointment?”

 

Shizuka nodded. “Sorry, I think I forgot to tell you.”

 

“You forget to tell me a lot of things.”

 

“What?”

 

“Nothing.”

 

Shizuka stared at him. “Oh…okay.”

 

They continued to stare at each other for a moment, and Sasuke even half-expected to get a kiss goodbye. But it never came. Shizuka turned away from him.

 

“I'll see you at home later tonight.”

 

“Okay. See ya.”

 

Sasuke looked after his wife until she was out the door until he turned on his heel and nearly fell into Naruto. He stumbled back, angry.

 

“NARUTO! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING DISHES!”

 

But it didn't seem like Naruto was paying any attention to him. He was staring out the door of the restaurant.

 

“You're married…to that foxy lady?!”

 

Sasuke frowned. “What's it to you?”

 

Naruto made a gesture under his chest. “Her boobs are like frickn' huge man! And she has an ass like JLo! Sasuke, you lucky son of a bitch!”

 

Sasuke twitched. “That's what you think.”

 

Naruto grinned. “So do you guys do it?”

 

Sasuke was taken aback. “N-Naruto, we're married. Of course we, we-“

 

“Hump like dogs in heat!”

 

Now it was Sasuke's turn to be startled. How could a grown man be talking like this?

 

“I much more prefer the term `make love'.”

 

`Even though it's not really love,' he thought to himself.

 

Naruto patted Sasuke on the shoulder. “So you're finally a man now.”

 

Sasuke shook his head. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

 

Naruto giggled and headed back to the kitchen.

 

And the day resumed.

 

It was just another usual night. Sasuke and Shizuka were once again silent in bed. Sasuke rubbed his leg lightly. After time, sex began to hurt a bit.

 

He turned over and looked at Shizuka, who was, as always, turned away from him. “So…how was your appointment?”

 

“Oh. Oh, it was fine.”

 

“That's good.”

 

“Yeah.”

 

Silence once again took over. Sasuke looked to his right and stared at the picture that was on the nightstand. It was a picture from their wedding day. The happy couple was holding hands with huge grins on their faces, ready to start off their “wonderful” life together. Sasuke remembered how happy he was that day, thinking how happy his life was going to be with this woman…

 

“I'm pregnant.”

 

Sasuke shook his head and looked at Shizuka. “What?”

 

Shizuka took a deep breath. “I'm pregnant,” she repeated.

 

Sasuke blinked several times. “Oh…oh really?”

 

Shizuka nodded slowly. “Uh-huh.”

 

“Oh, well…that's…cool.”

 

“Yeah.”

 

Sasuke's eyes widened. What the hell? He just found out that he was going to be a father and the only thing he could say was “That's cool”? What the hell? There was definitely something wrong with this.

 

“Are you mad at me?” Shizuka asked timidly.

 

Sasuke rested his arms behind his head. “Of course not. It was my stupid sperm that got you knocked up.”

 

Shizuka laughed quietly. Sasuke smiled and glanced over at her. Really, he did like to see her happy, and he wanted more than anything to make her happy. Especially with this new situation they had on their hands.

 

“Shizuka?”

 

“Hm?”

 

“I want you to know that I want you to be happy.”

 

Shizuka didn't respond for a minute. “Thank you, Sasuke.”

 

And the two fell asleep, two feet away from each other. Yup, just another normal night.
