A/N: Ok! So I know I haven't updated my other fic's in a long time but I have a very good excuse for that…THE FIFA WORLD CUP WAS JUST IN SOUTH AFRICA! Anybody reading this that has ever been to a Fifa world cup match, or that has lived in a country that has hosted it will know why I'm getting so excited about this…Anyway, to make it up to everyone I have written this fic inspired by my entire world cup experience…
Also, I will add footnotes at the end of each chapter explaining anything you may not understand so don't stress
"Where the hell are you Teme! The opening ceremony is already starting!" Sasuke winced as Naruto's voice blared at him through his cell phone speaker.
"Gees Dobe just hang on, I'll be there in a sec." Sasuke said quickly before he hung up. He grabbed the rest of his clothes out of the suitcase lying on his lumpy hotel bed and quickly stuffed them into a drawer. Quite honestly he wasn't all that excited to watch the opening of the FIFA World Cup but he knew that Naruto and Kiba would be, so he was going to make the effort anyway. It also didn't hurt that he thought the blonde was completely adorable.
The three of them had planned their whole trip to South Africa pretty badly. Their plane from Tokyo to Johannesburg(1) had landed only 20 minutes before their flight to Port Elizabeth(2), and their flight to Port Elizabeth had landed only 30 minutes before the opening ceremony. In Sasuke's opinion the entire day had been one big unnecessary rush.
He closed his suitcase and shoved it under the bed and was just about to leave his room when he remembered the bag of brownies he had bought at the airport bakery. He quickly grabbed the little paper bag off his bed and left the room, locking the door behind him and putting the key in his pocket. He ambled slowly up the passage to where he remembered Naruto's room was and walked in through the already open door. Naruto was the only one out of the three of them who had gotten a room with a TV, so naturally they were watching in his room.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm late." He announced, not really meaning it, before plonking himself down next to Naruto on the couch. "I brought a peace offering though." He threw the paper bag at the blonde.
"Mmm, they're brownies aren't they? I can smell them." Kiba tried to grab the bag out of Naruto's grip.
"Uh uh, these are mine, get your own brownies." Kiba glared at Naruto, but let go of the bag and then glared at Sasuke.
"He only bought those for you because he's trying to score brownie points."
"Wow, Kiba, I expected more from you…that was unbelievably lame." Sasuke threw a couch cushion at Kiba.
"Oi, you two shut up. Seeing as Sasuke missed the entire opening ceremony its already time for the first match to start." Naruto said throwing a glare at his companions.
"Who's playing in this match anyway?" Sasuke asked leaning forward and grabbing one of the many bags of chips in front of him.
"Its Mexico versus South Africa." Naruto answered opening the paper bag on his lap, fishing out a brownie and handing it to Kiba, who quickly snatched it and shoved it into his mouth. "And the South African team has some weird name right? Like Banana Banana?".
"Its Bafana Bafana you moron. It means 'the boys' in some African language." Kiba said through a mouthful of brownie.
"Zulu(3)." Sasuke stated calmly
"Geez, not just another pretty face ey Sasuke, have you been reading up on soccer?" Naruto said with a grin.
"Yea whatever…" Sasuke grumbled as he leant back in his chair preparing himself for what would undoubtedly the most boring 90 minutes of his life.
"What the hell is this ref doing!"
"Tackle him!"
"Oh come on, just shoot already!" Sasuke screamed as he threw his fiftieth handful of popcorn at the TV.
"He was off-sides Sasuke." Kiba stated calmly as he continued to watch the match.
"Well what the hell does that mean?" Sasuke shouted a little louder than he'd intended to.
"It means, teme, that the player from the attacking side had no players from the defending side between him and the goals…that's a big no-no in soccer."
Sasuke stared at Naruto wondering where the hell that had come from. "Wow Dobe, if you studied that hard for one of your exams maybe you would pass…" He turned his head back to look at the screen but to his slight disappointment (though nobody would have been able to tell) the players were all walking off the pitch, the match was over.
"Gees, what a game! I really wanted Bafana to win…" Kiba stuffed the last handful off popcorn in his mouth before putting the packet down on the table in front of him to join the numerous others.
"Well it looks like somebody enjoyed themselves." Naruto grinned at Sasuke before standing up and stretching. "I don't know about you guys but I'm beat. Watching other people play sport always makes me tired, I think you two should be off."
"I second that...Anyway we've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow." Sasuke got off the couch and began pushing empty chip packets and soda bottles off the table to look for his key.
"Can you believe we're actually going to watch an actual live world cup match at an actual world cup stadium tomorrow!" Kiba practically squealed with excitement as Naruto opened the door to let him out.
"Well, that was actually the soul purpose of us actually flying thousands of miles across the ocean to get to South Africa wasn't it?" Naruto said sarcastically.
"Killjoy" Kiba whispered as he pushed past Naruto and walked down the passage to his own room.
"Um Naruto…I cant find my key…" Sasuke said suddenly.
The blonde whipped around and raised an eyebrow "Are you sure?"
"Yep, I've looked everywhere."
"Well, just go down to reception and get a spare, maybe you left it in your room…"
"I would but…reception closes at 8 remember. Something to do with the staff wanting to watch the match?"
"Oh yes…well I guess you could just stay here for the night and we'll go fetch your key in the morning."
"Thanks, I'll just crash here then." Sasuke said as began to clear the colossal mess on and around the couch to make room for himself to sleep.
"Don't be silly Sasuke, you can sleep in the bed! It'll be like the sleepovers we used to have when we were little! Besides, it's a double bed, I wont invade your space, I promise!"
Sasuke stopped what he was doing and slowly turned around to look at Naruto. "Ok, if you're sure…"
"Of course I'm sure! I put dibs on the bathroom first." Naruto patted Sasuke on the shoulder and walked into the bedroom.
Sasuke watched as Naruto walked into the en-suite bathroom and shut the door behind him. As soon as Naruto was out of sight Sasuke slowly put his hand into his pocket, he grinned to himself when it closed around a small metal object. His key was still there, exactly where he had left it.
(1): One of the biggest cities in South Africa with the biggest International Airport.
(2): A small costal town in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, My home town :D
(3): One of many African cultures found in South Africa. Also one of the 11 official language…yea that's right, 11!
A/N: Oooooo sneaky sneaky Sasuke. Well a man's got to do what a man's got to do.
Anyway I hope people enjoy this fic. I wont make it too much about the soccer, but it will be in there. I'll also try and include a few little things about my country that I would like to share with you guys :D
Review and let me know what you think!
