"…"
"…"
"…"
A heavy sigh. "…Oh, this is just gonna suck, isn't it?"
"…"
Naruto sent his blue eyes skyward, shoulders slumping in temporary defeat before he let out a second heavy sigh – this one of despair. Of all the luck. Of all the crappy, horrible, low-down, dirty, no-good luck. The blond sent a longing look at the rock beside him, willing it to move, to do something. No luck. He sent a similar look at his companion.
The rock had more expression.
"This is gonna suck so much more than just sucking," Naruto confirmed, rubbing his hand over his face. "Dammit."
"…" His companion replied, deadpan.
Naruto eyed him suspiciously, tensing up. "…You're not gonna try and kill me again, are you? 'Cause I'm not gonna just let you, and big booms would be epic bad right now."
"…" The older man agreed, considering. Naruto twitched. Inched a little further away.
He just had to hit the exact spot that trapped him under thirty thousand tons of precariously balanced rock with a ridiculously dangerous shinobi with specific orders to make him very, very dead, didn't he?
Of all the crappy, horrible, low-down, dirty, no-good luck. Times two.
"…Alright," Itachi agreed blandly. "Armistice. Until we return to the surface."
Naruto eyed him a second longer, trying not to give away the fact that he had no idea what armistice meant. "…"
"…" Itachi's eyebrow twitched slightly. "…It's a truce."
Naruto shifted uncomfortably and forced himself to relax. "I knew that."
Itachi closed his eyes in a stoic, but long suffering manner. Naruto puffed out his cheeks indignantly. Itachi stared expressionlessly.
"…"
"TEME!" Naruto exploded, jumping to his feet. "I am not an idio-OW!"
Naruto turned to scowl at the piece of craggy rock that had just tried to split his skull open, one hand raised to rub gingerly at the tender area.
"…" Itachi said. Naruto scowled at him and dropped back down, still poking gently at the lump.
"Oh, shut up."
"..."
"Same to you, bastard."
There was silence. The lump receded to a slightly tender spot, then vanished entirely. The last few several minutes sank in. Itachi's eyebrow twitched a little. Naruto swore vehemently.
"God dammit, why am I'm still fluent in Uchihaese?!"
