Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Since I'm really bad with updates and stuff, I decided I'm just going to make a chain of drabbles! Yay!

This is going to be somewhat AU and probably OOC for Sasuke anyways


The door screeched opened sounding more like nails against a chalkboard. A slight wince was given by the blue haired ninja as he surveyed the house before him.

A thick layer of dust covered the room, unsurprising for 3 years without care. He left footprints as he walked further into the house. It was almost like walking through a very thin layer of dirty snow.

It was furnished. Nothing had been looted while he was absent, Sasuke noted impassively.

He passed the kitchen table on his way to the backyard, ignoring the image of his younger self sitting there with his grandfather.

"My Sasuke-kun, you grow bigger every time I see you," said the elderly man as he poured the tea with grace. Black streaks ran through his silvery hair which was still thick despite his age. He had his share of wrinkles but was still surprisingly attractive. He claimed it was a Uchiha thing with a wink towards his grandson.

"You say that all the time," the younger Uchiha replied with a pout. The older chuckled good-naturedly.

"Because it's true. You'll be as tall as Itachi-kun soon."

Sasuke grinned happily at that at sipped his tea. He loved his grandfather's house. There was something so peaceful about it, he told his grandpa so.

"Is that so? You like my house, huh? How about I give it to you?" Sasuke flushed at this and began stuttering no's which only made his grandfather laugh.

"How about this, when you're older and married, I will give this house to you as a gift to your family, sound good?"

Sasuke blushed and shuffled embarrassedly in his chair, "Thank you, ojiisan."

His grandfather smiled, pleased and Sasuke beamed back.

"Otoutou, it's time to go," said Itachi as he appeared in the hallway. He bowed respectfully towards his grandfather who nodded back. Sasuke cheerfully waved goodbye to the older man before grabbing hold of his older brother's hand.

"Guess what, aniki? Ojiisan said that when I'm older, this house is going to be mine! You can come live with me too! And –"

Sasuke slid open the door leading to the backyard. It sounded something like a cat trying to sing opera. He made a note to buy oil for the doors.

It wasn't so much of a backyard, more like a whole training ground complete with a forest further away.

"Hey hey! Don't you think it'd be fun if we had a house together?!" The blonde fox boy asked bouncing with excitement from his brilliant idea.

Sakura laughed.

"I don't know how I feel about living with you," Her green eyes sparkled teasingly as the blonde male squawked indignantly. "But that does sound kind of interesting. I've been thinking about moving out."

Sasuke didn't reply at all. It'd been three years since he finally came back to Konoha after accomplishing his goal. He kind of figured he'd be dead after defeating Itachi, but he should have known his idiotic teammates wouldn't allow that to happen. For three years they were constantly by his side and he couldn't quite say he was "happy" now, or "back to normal" but he was probably as close as he'd get.

"It'd be awesome!" Naruto continued, waving his chopsticks around enthusiastically, "The three of us in a big house together!"

Sakura pushed the offending limb away from her and back towards the owner. "An apartment's probably more likely."

Naruto frowned, crossing his arms and looking more like he was twelve instead of almost nineteen.

"No, it has to be a house. I've always wanted to live in a house. A house with a GINORMOUS backyard!" He waved his arms to emphasize his point, almost slapping both Sakura and Sasuke in the process.

Again, Sakura pushed his arm back to him with an exasperated sigh, while Sasuke just plain shoved him.

"Hm…a big backyard would be nice. We could throw barbeques and stuff."

The koi pond needed cleaning and koi fish for that matter, adding that to the mental list of repairs. He walked along the wooden ledge before turning into another room.

"I'd want a study," Sakura stated.

"A study? That's so boring!"

She glared, "No, it's practical. We need a place for our scrolls and my medical textbooks."

There were bookshelves lining the walls of this room already. If that shelf was shifted to that wall, they could put a desk in that space.

He exited the room and headed up the stairs. There were definitely enough rooms for them and some rooms even had they're own bathrooms.

"Oh! I definitely need my own bathroom."

"What's the big deal about a bathroom," Naruto asked, slurping loudly on his ramen.

A fist cuffed him in the back of his head. "Because I'm a girl, you idiot!"

A couple of the rooms could be turned into guest rooms and there was nice lounge area. Sasuke had to wonder whether or not his grandfather ever felt lonely living in this big house.

He hopped back downstairs turning towards the back of the house.

"Hey bastard, you've been quiet. What would you want in our dream house?"

Gently, he tugged the double doors open. It was an expansive room with no furniture. Scrolls decorated the walls and the wall to the left was covered with weapons from kunai to katana.

"A dojo."

Sakura and Naruto looked at him blankly for a second before they burst out laughing.

"So typical."

It was perfect. There was everything they could ever want in this house.

He showed them the house the next day and watched as both pairs of eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. Their gaze switched between him to the house then finally they stared at each other before they rushed into the house to explore.

Sasuke allowed himself a small smile before he followed them in and watched as they ran to and fro throwing opening all the doors.

"Whoa! Check this out! We could totally make this that study you wanted, Sakura."

"Did you see the backyard yet? I don't even know if I can call it a backyard!"

Sakura was babbling happily about what colours they should paint the walls after both teammates thoroughly investigated the house.

"Are you serious man? You really wouldn't mind living together here?" Concern floated through Naruto's blue eyes. Sakura gnawed at her lip and anxiously awaited his answer.

It was time the Uchiha compound had some new memories.

It was time for him to have a home again.

Sasuke gave a curt nod.

Instantly their faces broke into relieved smiles and excitement shone in their eyes again.

"I get dibs on room!" Naruto yelled as he rushed up the stairs.

"No fair! Ladies first!" Sakura screamed, racing after him.

Sasuke sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. Was it really a smart idea to ask the number one loudmouth ninja and Sakura, a girl who could shout loudly enough for all of Konoha to hear, to live with him?

"Master bedroom's mine!" He shouted up the stairs.
