A New Roommate

"Attention everyone!" Kakashi yelled at all of the soldiers. "We have a new recruit," a raven-haired boy casually looked up at his general, not paying any attention to the boy standing by him. He was not interested in new faces. "Uzumaki Naruto."

The boy next to Kakashi stepped forth.

"Uh…" Kakashi said while reading the boy's forms to see who was to take care of him. "Uchiha Sasuke, you're in charge of him. Make sure you teach him all he needs to know," the raven sighed at the annoying burden he was given. "And try to be nice."

Damn, the raven-haired boy named Sasuke thought. Sasuke saluted Kakashi, though, seeing as it is a rule. He stepped forward to stand between Kakashi and his new assignment.

"Dismissed!" Kakashi yelled before running away so fast it was as if he had teleported. Only the new kid and Sasuke remained in the room.

"Hi there, my name's Naruto." The new kid said. Sasuke turned to look at him…and was surprised. Naruto had sunny blond hair, sky blue eyes, and tanned skin. A new word passed through the Uchiha's mind: beautiful.

"Sasuke." He said apathetically. "Now, follow me." He said and turned towards the door behind them.

Upon entering the raven's private quarters, Sasuke spotted a note on his table.

Sasuke,

Sorry to have not mentioned this to you earlier, it must have slipped my mind. Naruto is to bunk with you. Have fun!

-General Hatake Kakashi

P.S. This is an order!

Oh no, he was going to die for this. Sasuke had worked so hard to get his own room. He was not going to share. He looked over to his 'roommate', who was staring off into space with a sad expression.

"What's with that look, dobe, got a problem with my room?" Sasuke asked.

"I'm not a dobe, teme!" Naruto shouted back. "I'm just looking, it's not a crime, you know!" The blond crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air like a child.

'Cute' Sasuke thought, before reminding himself that Naruto was invading his room. After a slight pause, Naruto broke the silence.

"So, if this is your room, where's mine?" he asked.

'Should I let him stay with me?' Sasuke thought to himself. 'No! This is my room, but it's an order and, besides, how bad can he be?'

"You're staying here with me."

"W-What?" Naruto asked, blushing madly. He had never shared a room.

"Got a problem with sharing a room with me, dobe?"

"No! And don't call me dobe, teme!" Naruto shouted. He then started looking around the room. "It's dark."

"Yeah, so? What's the point in decorating in a war?"

The room was bare, nothing but a small table with two chairs, one bed, and a nightstand. It was empty.

"This won't do." Naruto stated.

"What? Don't go all girly on me." Sasuke said while imagining a pink room with lace everywhere. Oh HELL no! That was not going to happen.

"I'll be back!" Naruto said, turned for the door and stopped, realizing he didn't know his way around yet. "Uh…"

"Can't find your way?"

"Shut up, teme!" the blond turned back around. "Um, Sasuke? How do I get outside?"

"Why do you want to go outside?" They were in a war, right? Who in their right mind would want to go outside?

"I want to get some flowers for the room." Apparently, Naruto was not in his right mind. "Not girly ones, just some simple ones to brighten up the room."

"What happens if I don't let you?" Sasuke asked as a threat.

"Easy, I'll annoy the hell out of you until I get my way."

"What do you-?"

"SASUKE! I wanna go outside! Oh, and we should get a window! And pink walls! Maybe even a fluffy pink rug to match and-"

"SHUT UP! Alright, alright, what do you want?"

"The flowers will do."

"Fine, stay here, I'll get you your flowers for you. Just stay here." Sasuke said and then left the beautiful blond alone in their room. A strange pain tightened around Sasuke's heart as he left. 'Why do I feel bad about leaving him?' he thought.

"I'm back." Sasuke said as he opened the door. He had just gotten back from buying a bouquet of flowers and a vase. He even put the thing together. 'Feels like I'm going to prom with him.'

"Oh, hi Sasuke." Naruto said in a chipper tone. The blond was sitting on the bed. "You're back sooner than I though."

"Here." The raven said as he handed Naruto the vase of flowers.

"Wow, these are beautiful. Thanks, Sasuke!" The smile, along with the gratitude, caused Sasuke's heart to skip a beat. The happy blond set the flowers in the middle of the table and then looked over to Sasuke who was still standing in the doorway. "Well, what do you think?"

Sasuke thought it was amazing how a few flowers and a new roommate could make the room feel so warm and be so bright. A miracle, simply a beautiful miracle.

"Nice, they, um, they really do look nice." Sasuke said. His mouth twitched up a bit as he looked into smiling blue eyes.

'Oh no, what does he want to get now?' Sasuke thought as he watched Naruto look around the room.

"We need a camera!" Here we go again.

"Why?"

"To take pictures that we can hang up to make this place homier."

"Fine, but you're coming with me this time."

"Alright!" the blond said before dragging the happy raven out and into the hall. Yes, that's right, the happy raven.

'Having a roommate might not be so bad after all.'
