Sasuke was slightly taken aback when he saw the state of Naruto's closet. The golden hair's uniform were hanged neatly on the shelf next to his old orange jumpsuits, which he hadn't been wearing for quite some time.

Not having any chances, that is, since he became a Jounin. The golden hair kept complaining about how plain his official attire looked.

Once he wore a bright yellow shirt inside of his coal green coat which resulted in Tsunade calling him to her office, as if he's still in grade school. But she didn't scold him all that much, anyone could've seen her soft spot for this little fox boy.

"Pretty clean." Sasuke commented.

"Ah yeah, Naruto looked over through his shoulder. Sakura came by and cleared that up for me." He smiled proudly.

Sasuke roughly took the cloths out and started stripping.

"Eh?! W-Wait a minute Sasuke!" Naruto jolted, taken aback, his hand gripping the floor table.

Sasuke already had his pants down, "What are you fussing about?"

Right, what is he fussing about? What's wrong with being naked around other guys. And that's not really naked either, Sasuke still had his boxers on. Naruto gulped trying his best to stay silent. He doesn't want to keep reminding the raven about the wierd things that happened between them.

In the end, he just mindlessly observed Sasuke while the other was putting his outfit on. It was all too normal, just like one of these days. Stupid as he is, Naruto still managed to realize that Sasuke also doesn't want to talk about it, maybe they can just let it go and pretend to be like they used to be?

Naruto felt cold shivering down his spine, for some reason, he's hurt, he's afraid. Man, thinking was never one of his best asset. Shook his head, remembering the time he hyperventilated because of it.

"I'm going", The golden hair only snapped out of it when his coal hair friend announced, coming back from the kitchen, probably after some dish washing.

"Ah, okay...", Naruto nodded.

"Go back to bed." Sasuke was already on the door knob. There was an odd look on the raven's face that Naruto couldn't read. Then again, he never was a good Sasuke reader, he never was a good reader in general.

Naruto sighted.

"What is it?" Sasuke squinted at him.

"Nah", the guy shrugged. "Go torture some foreign ninjas for information, have fun." He shoved his hand at Sasuke. The later allowed himself a quiet sneer before disappearing from the entrance. Making sure the other was out of sight, the left-behind fox roughly snapped his face on the table causing a loud bang.

...

After the raven left, Naruto obeyed and went back to bed. It wasn't until then that embarrassment hit home as he felt the pain in his ass, literately.

"Asshole!" Naruto swore, hiding his face under the pill of pillows.

He wasn't that dense to let such thing slip up until now, it simply wasn't his first priority. This is nothing compared to the amount of injuries he'd gotten during his fights, what worried him the most was the bond he had with Sasuke.

It's probably safe to say, he'd suffered much more for the raven than this, during his childhood, during the time he was chasing after him like his life depended on it. Actually, it's better to be with him than any other dudes.

"Shut the fuck up! What are you thinking again, Naruto?!" He screamed desperately, at himself this time.

It took him a while to calm down from his hysterics, then the exhausted boy summoned a clone to rub his back, some new jutsu use he'd just found out recently, and decided to call it a day.

Even though it probably just started, Naruto was all to tired, consequence of using too much his head he's capable of. The fox boy was planning to sleep again but seeing as the he just recently woke up, he couldn't.

"Damn alcohol, damn Sasuke, damn it all..." He mumbled.

When his door cracked open again, Naruto had completely lost his sense of time.

"Sakura-chan?" His eyes widened.

"Sasuke told me you'd need some help." Sakura casually explained as she pulled her spare key out and close the entrance behind.

"Huh? What help?" Naruto almost jolted to Sasuke's name, but he managed to hide it, hopefully.

"Food, for lunch and dinner." Sakura pulled a heavy plastic bag up, shoving it at the Naruto clone who's now half asleep on top of his master. To the nudge, that might be an understatement to Sakura's kind of nudge, the clone disappeared. "What a way to waste your energy when you're sick, Naruto." She commented.

"I'm not sick!"

"Then why is mister lying like a dead fish over there?" Sakura quickly entered the kitchen.

Naruto flushed a little. "Well maybe I am..." He muttered, mostly to himself.

Suddenly, remembering something, Naruto rushed back up. It took him no time at all to find what he's looking for, the black brief still lied there, at the same spot he saw it this morning, Naruto quickly grab onto it while glancing around to check Sakura's whereabouts.

The sound of small wooden doors opening, of pots being lifted up, she's in the other room. Naruto sighted, the pink hair shouldn't have seen it, it's in a dead corner. Well, Sakura would've reacted otherwise, it doesn't take a genius out of her, she whom sometimes help him with the chores, to know such underwear doesn't belong to him.

He only wear multicolored boxers. Naruto snorted, remembering the ramen textured underpants Sasuke wore earlier, and now he's no doubt jumping around with it. Strict and serious as he is, Sasuke seems to specially tolerate Naruto's idiocy, and Naruto's ridicule cloths, and Naruto's weird boxers.

"Naruto!" Sakura called, catching him off guard. Panicked, Naruto fell down to the mattress while still holding the small black clothing which he later stacked under his pillow.

"You don't have to be so loud." Naruto growled.

"I though I'd warn you you're not gonna have any ramen while I'm around!" Sakura sounded like a mother, not that Naruto knows how having a mother would have been like.

"Okay, okay. I'm not that much of a noodle maniac you know." Naruto pouted when Sakura came out again preparing the table.

Soon, the food were served heatedly.

"Am I a big baby to you guys or what?" Naruto asked out of the blue.

"Hm?" Sakura sat down next to him, who've just managed to quit the comfort of his bed. The pain felt in the morning was completely gone, the advantages of being a Jinchuriki.

"I'm having a déjà vu, Sasuke also cooked me this morning." Naruto explained.

"Sasuke was here?" Sakura asked.

"... But you're much better, he's already a girly type of guy but really can't be compared to the real ones after all." Naruto forced a grin, for no reason, he felt the need to change the subject.

"What kind of girl would want her husband to cook better than her?" Sakura gave Naruto his rice bowled and took one for herself.

"You look happy." Naruto commented about her cheerful mood while grabbing his chopsticks.

"He he." Sakura chuckled lightly. She still couldn't believe she'd be able to fulfill the love of her life. "I am." She admitted.

"Hn." Sasuke's habit sneered a little onto Naruto, without him really noticing it.

...

Sakura and Sasuke had been dating recently. After the raven broke up with his former teammate Karin, Sakura stacked up her courage to confess to him, about her all too obvious love.

Naruto was exasperated, although Sasuke is his best friend, he wouldn't hesitate to say the guy was the exact definition of a dick. And of course, the golden hair would've taken any possibly he could find to do so.

The day Sakura confessed, Naruto and Sasuke went to Ichiruka which the pink hair skipped. Naruto kept questioning the raven, suspecting his intentions, convincing him to drop her off.

Sasuke sneered and asked. "Are you jealous?"

"... Bastard..." Naruto answered. He never told the raven his affection towards Sakura but concluded his genius of a friend would have had his bitterness figured by now.

"I liked her." Sasuke sighted.

"... What the f-?!" Naruto slammed the table in disbelief, spilling out what's left of his noodle. "Fuck!" He finished his sentence, but by then, it doesn't sound like a question anymore.

The old cook glared at him, unable to believe he's in front at the two heroes who saved Konaha during their Third Shinobi World War.
