Ramen with a side of Romance

Ayame and Raizo had been in that same arm entangling position the entire time to Ichiraku’s. Well, in actuality, it wasn’t the exact same, just modified to a holding hand combination of it, not to mention Ayame sort of leaning onto his should. Yep, they were the kind of lovebirds that would make her and her friends have life’s all the time. Ayame had to admit though, it did feel nice to actually be with someone she liked for who he was, though she was still a bit confused, she was really willing to see more to Raizo than he’s let on so far.

Once they had finally made it over to the Ramen shop, some familiar faces that included employees and regular customers alike started to recognize the girl from her constant visits to the shop as if it were her second home. They started to notice Raizo in her arm also and the whisperings was set to begin soon afterwards. This didn’t really bother Ayame too much as she said her “his” and “byes” while heading into the shop that had been said to be around for over 150 years, which earned it a good review of being one of Konoha’s oldest companies/organizations.

Taking a seat with an empty one on the right side of it meant for Raizo, Ayame said her hello to the late teenage son of the owner. Noticing her entrance, the boy gave her his own greetings. “Why hello Ayame, what’ll it be on this fine day." Ayame thought for a second, not bothering to look at the menu due to the fact that she knew everything on the menu. “I think I’ll go with Spicy Beef today.” The kid took out a notepad, taking down Ayame’s order. “And your guest?” He waited for Raizo to make a request before taking it down and making sure everything was getting started.

Taking this time to find something to do, Ayame decided to have another conversation with Raizo to pass the time until the food was ready. “So… I picked the last subject at my house to talk about, now it’s your turn to come up with one.” She said with a little smile.
