Towel, Shirt, and Boxers

A/N: Uh, short drabble. Just something to show that I'm still alive. 400 words.

"What the f- NARUTO!"

Naruto, sitting in the living room, winced. He'd screwed something up again. Like usual.

A few seconds passed, then Naruto heard Sasuke stomping towards the living room from the back on the house.

"You KILLED it!" Naruto opened his mouth to ask what he'd killed this time when Sasuke shoved something in his face.

"My favorite towel… is now ORANGE. I didn't think you could turn something BLACK to ORANGE without dye. And in the washing machine, no less. But no! You had to go PROVE ME WRONG!" By this time, Naruto was pressed back against the couch, leaning as far back from Sasuke as he could get.

"Um, Sasuke?" he asked timidly.

"What!" Sasuke snapped.

"I think my boxers were in that load…" Naruto trailed off when Sasuke went sprinting for the laundry room.

Naruto followed, but at a much slower pace. When he rounded the doorframe, he stopped short. Sasuke was glaring at him with murderous intent in his eyes.

He was holding his favorite black shirt.

Well, his favorite black shirt that used to be black.

It was tie-dyed with orange.

Naruto ran like a bat out of hell.

Out the front door, down the street…he didn't stop till he'd circled the neighborhood and stood at the back door. Cautiously, he opened the door and stuck his hand inside. When no sharp objects with deadly accuracy came flying his way, he opened the door a little wider and stuck his head in.

The house was eerily quiet, and Sasuke was nowhere to be seen.

Naruto made his way to the laundry room, intent on seeing if any clothes were fixable, if not salvageable.

Five minutes later, he was yelling in Sasuke's face.

"Your stupid TOWEL and SHIRT turned my lucky pair of boxers BLACK!"

Sasuke just sat back, smug.

"It's an even trade, if you ask me. It's my fault for letting you do laundry in the first place. It's only fair both of us have tie-dyed clothing."

"Sasuke-bastard!" Naruto launched himself at Sasuke, intent on wiping the smirk off his face.

Luckily, neither of them knew about the rest of the tie-dyed clothes in the dryer. Naruto had accidentally dropped a purple sock (as if any of them wear purple socks) into a load of jeans and pants.

Good thing Sasuke looked good in anything.

Unfortunately for Naruto, bruises weren't quite his color.
