Hamster Boy

Author's Note: I feel like I can't keep characters in character, can some people help me with this? Beta readers, perhaps? (Please see my profile for more information!)
An hour had passed and Naruto and Sasuke still hadn't found Princess. The blond was panicking, hoping that nothing bad happened to his precious while Sasuke was seething, wondering when he could leave. Naruto plopped down next to Sasuke, his face buried in his hands and gave out an audible sigh, "Princess is gone."
Sasuke turned his head to the blond taking in his teammate's appearance. Naruto was slightly sweating, his hair messier than before, and he looked a little stressed out. "Maybe he never liked you?"
Naruto opened his mouth to retort back but closed it again. He was in no mood for Sasuke's banter at the moment. He got up and faced Sasuke, "It's late, maybe you should leave."
Sasuke looked up at Naruto's face, his eyebrows were knitted and his eyes were a bit teary but the tears never fell. "Narut-"
"Get out! Get out of my house!" Naruto (yet again) grabbed Sasuke's arm and started shoving him towards the door. He slammed it shut and sank to the ground, sitting against the door he pulled his knees to his chest. The combination of his only friend, Princess, who loved him unconditionally and didn't know about the monster (Kyuubi) inside the boy as well as Sasuke being a bastard with his taunts and teasing took a toll on him right now.
Meanwhile, Sasuke was still facing the door that was slammed in his face. Of course something like that could only be expected from a person like Naruto. No one else would shove him out of their house. He let a small smile creep onto his face and proceeded to walk home when a brown ball of fur caught his attention, 'Could it be...?'
He ran towards the corner and saw a furry rodent with messy, unruly fur. So as not to scare the hamster, he silently walked towards it and grabbed the hamster with both his hands. He loosened his grip on the furball but not enough for the hamster to jump out his hand. He knocked on Naruto's door, soon the knocking turned into banging, "Naruto! Open the fucking door, right now!"
The door opened a bit, revealing a distressed Naruto who had obviously been crying, "I told you, I don't-" He would have finished his sentence but Sasuke had shoved something into his hand. He glanced down and back up at Sasuke, instantly his face lit up. Sasuke took a step back and shifted a bit uncomfortably. He had actually done something nice... for Naruto.
"Wait, here."
Naruto ran to his room putting Princess back in her plastic bin of a cage and ran back to where he left Sasuke. He looked as if he was about to hug Sasuke like crazy but he didn't, "Thanks... Sasuke. I guess even a bastard like you has a heart!"
Sasuke frowned. Wait, Naruto thought he didn't have a heart? Instead of arguing with him, he turned away saying, "Whatever," and left the apartment building. Naruto watched him leave and closed the door gently. He wiped his eyes on his sleeve.
'No more treats for you, Princess!'
