Chapter four – Thursday
"Sasuke."
The raven carried on walking, his eyes narrowed into a deep frown as he dragged Naruto along the streets, looking for something or someone that could get these damn cuffs off. He would seriously murder the blonde if he had be literally attached to him any longer.
"Teme!"
"What?" He turned round and set his glare on Naruto, stopping. Naruto rolled his eyes and tugged Sasuke in the opposite direction with a big grin. "Why don't we go to the hot springs? I mean, don't get me wrong, but I don't particularly wanna take a shower with you." Sasuke snorted.
"Don't worry, the feeling's mutual." He muttered bitterly in reply, walking alongside Naruto so that he didn't have to be dragged. No doubt that the cuffs were starting to make red marks on his wrists, and the raven didn't want to make it any worse if he could help it. One more day is what he kept telling himself, though tomorrow seemed too far away for his liking.
"Teme, don't watch, you pervert!" Sasuke blinked out of his thoughts. He realized they were in the changing room. He blinked at Naruto and raised an eyebrow, suddenly pulling out a Kunai. He swiftly slid it up Naruto's shirt, effectively cutting it so that the blonde could slide it off. "… What the HELL did you do that for? It's my favourite shirt!" Sasuke frowned and handed the kunai to Naruto, who wanted to cut Sasuke's head off with it.
"Do the same to me. We can't get them off any other way." Naruto blinked as realisation settled and frowned as he also cut Sasuke's shirt off with a frown, as Sasuke was once again right.
"Ahh, the water's so warm," Naruto sighed as he sank lower into the steamed water. Sasuke put a little distance between him and the blonde, not wanting to be too close to him after what happened last night. Though despite that, the water was strangely making him relax and he let out a sigh as he rest his back against the rocks.
It wasn't until then that Sasuke realized they were the only two people in this bath. He assumed it was because twelve, and everyone would be going for their lunch round about now. As if right on queue, Naruto's stomach growled loudly and Sasuke couldn't help but smirk at the blush on Naruto's face.
"Hungry dobe?" Naruto rolled his eyes at the 'dobe' part, choosing to ignore it as he scratched the back of his neck, laughing. "Uh, maybe a little," He said sheepishly. Sasuke noted that Naruto seemed to scratch his neck a lot when he was nervous or embarrassed. He shook the idea of Naruto looking cute like that from his mind and reached for his towel, proceeding to stand up.
"Are you just going to sit there and watch?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. With a huff, Naruto blushed and looked away. "Bastard, we only just got here!" He complained as Sasuke finally wrapped the towel round his waist, waiting for Naruto to do the same.
"We were here for long enough. I don't want to sleep with a wrinkled dobe tonight," He added, smirking when Naruto seemed to get defensive about that comment.
Naruto sighed, fingering his shirt with a clean rip down the side and shivering as the cold air whipped around his torso. "You owe me a new shirt, bastard," He mumbled as he used his free hand to hold the cloth together. "Or better yet, you can treat me to ramen," He suggested with a grin. He whined when Sasuke hit him upside the head and frowned.
"I'm not buying you ramen. Or a new shirt," He said, pulling the blonde in the direction of his house. Naruto tried to stop, wincing when the cuffs dug into his wrists. "You cut my shirt, look!" He growled, pointing to the rip. "It's not like I said 'hey Sasuke, rip my shirt open'!" Sasuke tried not to let his mind interpret that as something else. "Not to mention you've been completely antagonistic to me since the second we woke up," Sasuke tried to but in to get the blonde to shut up, but couldn't get a word in edgeways.
"Not to mention you've been bossy and a complete, utter ba-" Naruto would have finished that sentence if it weren't for the fact that his mouth was now being occupied. His eyes went wide as he realized it was Sasuke who had kissed him, freezing up completely, his cheeks going red as Sasuke furrowed his brows. He half expected Naruto to push him off, but the idiot wasn't moving at all. It confused him as to why he had done this in the first place, but at least it shut Naruto up.
After pulling away, Sasuke looked at Naruto with a raised eyebrow, daring him to start ranting again. Naruto stayed silent. "We're going back to my place, and I'm going to make the food," He said in a serious tone. All Naruto could do was nod meekly and follow the raven as he once again set off in the direction of the Uchiha Compound.
Sasuke smirked. He had done what no one else could, and that was effectively shut Naruto up for more than five minutes.
This chapter isn't very funny, but it's a filler-ish. Sorry for the long update, I don't have an excuse. Just sheer laziness.
I need ideas. Care to help me out? Don't keep asking for a lemon, it's too soon for that. They'll get there eventually. XD
