Burnt Toast

Hatsue woke up to the smell of burnt toast.

Naruto apologized when she entered the kitchen scratching the back of her head. He dropped the black bread onto a plate, laughed, and sheepish, said, "I just left them in for a minute."

She joined him in the kitchen, offering to help with breakfast. She set aside the burnt toast to stick new bread slices into the toaster and leaned against the counter, watching Naruto scramble eggs in a frying pan.

She reached out to touch his arm.

He smiled. He was real.

She sighed.

The toast burned a second time.
