Naruto sat alone in his quiet apartment waiting for Sasuke to come home. It was almost sunset. 'Where is Sasuke...', Naruto thought. Just then he heard the door close and a dreary-looking Sasuke trudged into the kitchen. Naruto could see how tired Sasuke looked from the living room where he was all bundled up in a little nest of blankets.

"Everything ok?" Naruto asked from across the room.

Sasuke's tired, dark eyes drifted over to meet Naruto's.

"Hn..." Sasuke replied drearily.

Naruto wiggled out of his nest to meet Sasuke in the kitchen. As Naruto reached Sasuke he wrapped his arms around him and rested his head on his shoulder.

"Are you sure you're ok, Sasuke?" Naruto asked, "You seem sick or something..."

"I'm not sick, dobe. I'm tired." Sasuke replied sharply.

Naruto released Sasuke from his arms and pulled Sasuke into the living room. They stopped in front of Naruto's nest of blankets on the couch. Naruto nested himself back onto the couch underneath his cozy blankets.

Naruto looked back to Sasuke, who was still standing in front of the couch. His wide, blue eyes met Sasuke's tired, onyx eyes, giving off the vibe he wanted Sasuke to join him.

Sasuke groaned.

"Please, Sasuke?" Naruto begged, "You're tired anyway so come here."

"No."

"Please?"

"I said no, dob -"

Sasuke was cut off by Naruto leaping off the couch towards Sasuke. Sasuke was too tired to react quickly enough before Naruto's lips met his own.

Naruto pulled away and stared into Sasuke's dark eyes.

"Now?" he asked.

"Fine." Sasuke said tiredly.

Naruto weaseled back inside the nest he had created and made room for Sasuke to join him. Sasuke climbed onto the couch next to Naruto and scooted closer to Naruto so the nest could be closed.

Naruto wrapped the blankets around Sasuke and pulled him close.

Sasuke rested his head on Naruto's shoulder and had started to drift off to sleep.

"I love you, teme." Naruto said after kissing Sasuke on the cheek .

"I love you, too, dobe.", Sasuke replied as he nodded off.

Naruto smiled and began to doze off as well.

The two quickly fell asleep in their little nest, comfortably cuddled up to one another.
