With an elbow to his esophagus, Naruto collapses in mild surprise. He hadn't expected him to target such a soft spot for the sake of winning. But this was Uchiha.

And just as, Sasuke's hand was offered. His rump had barely made its last impact when smooth finger nails were presented, his perfect palm held out. A slight thread of tension tightened within them.

Instead of accepting it wholeheartedly, Naruto gently touches tips, watching Sasuke flinch a moment, but remaining none the less. He dances his lazy way around and up to his pale wrist, looping thumb and ring, and tugging lightly at the captured appendage. And promptly pops a finger into his mouth. Sasuke's thumb spasms and his face twists, but otherwise showed no sign of discomfort.

Typical Sasuke, Naruto thinks. So he twirls and swirls around each digit, trying oh so hard not to drool all over his palm, and even wanders to a slit on Sasuke's wrist, touching tongue tip to the wound for just a second. Then, finally, Sasuke slumps a bit in the shoulder and gently curls his fingers around Naruto's, looks him in the eye softly, and hefts him to his feet, clearing the ground an inch before contact. The rough pull and landing stings Naruto's feet, and his hand is still warm, but Sasuke is off to the apartment, his half hearted glare-squint-thing telling the blonde that he's done for the day.

The nose crinkle says he's headed to the bath. The following nod says Naruto should to.
