I sipped on my juice slowly and glared at the counter. I was woke up at eight, and it's ten minutes before noon. Yet, the Dobe rages on, not even stopping his rant to make breakfast. Honestly, he could easily make breakfast while he ranted. Not all of us care about his social life, and don't want to hear about it. I sighed when he finally shut up. Finally!
"Are you even listening Teme? You ruined my life, you could at the very least listen to me!" I push back a wild hair before I look up to glare at him. Even when Naruto was ready to hang everyone in sight his eyes were still bright and shimmered. In a way that is unnerving; also, it's weird of me to notice something so random.
Placing my juice on the island in the center of the kitchen I turned to face the idiot. "This is exactly why the old lady considered you to be the girl of the relationship. Your so knaggy!" The face Naruto made after I said that was too perfect.
His lips tightened and his eyes bugged, all color seemed to leave him and he glared more determined towards me. Pointing a finger into my face he tried to look taller than me, and failed. "Let's get this one thing straight Teme, I am not the chick in any kind of relationship!" I smirked at him, mainly because it bothered him, but also I remembered something funny Sai had told me once and I decided to use it,
"Technically Dobe, the point of a gay relationship with two men, is that a 'chick' is not involved." Sai had come out to me a couple months back and he had said that during his coming out speech. "Also if I 'ruined' your life then why are you still complaining? Make me breakfast, then go out and start telling people the truth."
Naruto looked like his brain actually processed an idea, the little mooch. "That's just what I'm going to do!" He grimaced and looked at me. "Except making you breakfast. You really need to learn to take care of yourself Sasuke." He ran towards the door and I didn't have time to protest or anything before he was out the door.
Damn it, the only thing I can cook is Ramen. God knows I hate Ramen. Naruto is the only one that can make it taste decent enough for me to actually eat it though. Damn it again! I don't need him around to take care of me. I looked around the kitchen; I swear the stove hissed at me. I think I'm going to go chill in my room until that idiot comes back and makes lunch. Yup, that stove definitely hissed at me.
As I am making my way to my room, I see a shirt sleeve peeking out from underneath naruto's door. He glare at it, this can only mean his room is an absolute mess. I let out a sigh, it would be a waste to fight my OCD. No one knows I have it, but that's only because it's a slight case. Since this is my house, I'm a bit more touchy about things. A messy room in this house won't last very long.
Whenever I try to open the door, I have to kick my way in. I crinkle my nose at the sight of everything, and almost lose my cool whenever I see a pile of ramen bowls by his stained and crumbly bed. Gross. How anyone can live in a place like this, I have no idea. It's repulsive beyond belief, and it's so like that Dobe to leave a mess for me. I start by picking things up from the floor. If it smells clean, I fold it and place it on the bed. Unless it's socks or underwear, in that case no matter what I consider it dirty and I through it in the empty hamper. What surprised me though was that most of the cloths lying around were clean.
That's when I noticed that the closet was barely touched. I opened the closet to see a box spilling over with more clothing and a small scroll looking paper. I know I shouldn't, but I reach down for it and unroll the paper. I read and reread, it takes the breath out of me. It has to be a fake or something similar to that. There is no way this paper is right, all the information makes absolute no since.
I shake my head and roll it back up tossing it to the floor of the closet. I grab his clothing from the bed and throw them around the floor. It took all of my will power to do that, and I quickly left his room. I know for a fact, he wanted that kept a secret, and that was the purpose of leaving clean cloths lying around.
When I finally get back to my room, instead of sleeping like I had wanted, I can't stop thinking about that stupid piece of paper. I didn't know what was worse, the fact that Naruto really was in trouble, or the fact that he didn't trust me enough to tell me about it. Of course I would have been pissed when he told me, but I would have helped. I'm not that cold hearted, I would help any of my friends if they asked. I also just realized: Kakashi had sent a paper with him demanding that I allow him to stay, which meant Kakashi was in on this as well. I wonder how many others were in on this and didn't tell me. I can be trusted, right?
End of Sasuke pov
"Oh come on guys! Even if I did swing that way, do you honestly think I would choose Sasuke out of all the people in the world!" Naruto stood in front of his friends as they stared at him, sitting at café with two tables pushed together. It took him twenty minutes to find them, and now he has been trying to get them to understand the misunderstanding for almost a half hour.
"Actually, in a way it would make since. If you two were gay, I could see you guys as a couple." Kiba tapped his fork on the table thoughtfully. Naruto's jaw dropped as he watched everyone nod in agreement. "I'm cool with it Naruto, although some of us aren't happy about it," Kiba glared Sakura who was pouting in the center of the group. "We all support you guys and wish you both happiness." Everyone smiled brightly and awkwardly at Naruto minus the pink haired girl that glared.
Naruto put his hands out to stop the happiness wish. "You guys aren't listening! 1: We aren't gay! At least I'm not! 2: That rumor isn't true! And 3: What the hell are you guys talking about? Kiba you thought me and Sasuke were going to be gay together this whole time?"
Kiba laughed and patted his dog on the head. "Actually me and Gaara have a bet on it." He elbowed Gaara and received a glare.
"Gaara! At least you know we aren't like that." Naruto gave him a small thankful smile.
Gaara smirked evilly. "Actually Naruto, Kiba bet you guys would get into a relationship, while I had bet you two would fuck." Everyone erupted into laughter, even Sakura at this and they instantly started in with their own bets and jokes. Everyone had completely forgotten Naruto was there and did not pay any attention to him as he frantically yelled at them to stop.
"Said as graceful as always Gaara!" Lee howled out as he laughed. Even Hinata giggled with bright cheeks. Naruto fumed and stomped from the café and stuck his tongue out at the group. He was slightly happy when the owner of the shop yelled at them to quiet down. He sat outside under a tree and glared at a blade of grass.
"Don't look so mad, we were only joking. If you say you're not gay and nothing happened between you then fine. That's that." Naruto looked up at Kiba, Gaara, Lee and Shino, he smiled up at them and took Lee's hand to help himself up. "Although, we all think you guys would look nice together." Naruto growled and punched Kiba in the side. Kiba laughed through the pain.
He looked at the shop and saw the rest of the group apologizing to the owner. "As much as I would like to hang out with you lovely bunch, I'm going to head back. I'm not even really supposed to be out here." He heard Gaara chuckle he turned to leave; he looked back and raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"Just wondering how tight that leash is Sasuke has around your neck. I'm sure he wouldn't want his beautiful blondy to get too far." Naruto glared at him and started to go after him.
Everyone was laughing again. "Chill Naru! You have to admit that was a funny misunderstanding. You gotta let us pick fun at least a little!" Naruto thought back to after it happened. He and Sasuke laughed for almost ten minutes after they got over the awkwardness. Naruto smiled and his friends continued to laugh.
"Whatever, I don't have time for you guys. Just do me a favor and spread the truth around will ya?" he quickly turned, not wanting to hear anymore jokes that would have come from his friends.
"Gaara, we have to have a winner come out of this bet." Gaara smiled evilly and walked away. Lee smirked as he realized they were going to be busy for the next couple of days. "Guys, if you want, you could become part of this bet." By this time everyone had joined together and caught on to the evil atmosphere.
"No way! Hinata and I are going to find something peaceful to do! You boys can go get yourselves in trouble without us!" Sakura grabbed Hinata by her shoulders and started walking off with her.
"Sakura, didn't you say it would be nice if you could wat-" Hinata's soft voice was cut off by Sakura's hand over her mouth.
"I've never said such nonsense in my life!" With that, she and Hinata disappeared.
"Guys, I just thought of something." Everyone turned to Sai in surprise. They hadn't realized he was there. "How are you going to mess with them if they were told to stay held up in Sasuke's house unless they both come out at the same time?" They all gave him confused looks. "I wanted to talk to Sasuke about something so I asked Kakashi where he was and he told me that Naruto got himself into something stupid so Sasuke and him are stuck together for a while."
Everyone gave each other confused looks but nodded. "Leave that to me" Kiba smirked and everyone smiled at how excited he was. They all knew that Kiba was hoping Naruto and Sasuke would get together because he wants Hinata to himself.
Naruto finally made it back to their apartment after the old lady caught him. She had smiled brightly and had a hand full of condoms again. Why does this lady have so many of these freakin things! The only way to get her to shut up was to take the condoms and shut the door quickly. Unfortunately the door slammed shut, waking the owner of the house.
"What the? Naruto? What's with those?" Sasuke looked at the items in Naruto's hands with a raised eyebrow. Naruto blushed and tossed them onto the living room glass table. He sat down on the leather black couch and ran his hand through his spikes.
"Lady next door." Was his simple answer. Sasuke groaned in disgust and instantly understood. He sat in the chair beside the couch and stared at the T.V absently. Pretending to be interested in the football game that was playing. Really he was trying to figure out why he was so worried about Naruto not telling him about his problem.
Finally trying to escape his own thoughts he decided to start some kind of conversation. "How did everything work out?" Naruto looked away from the game in a slight daze but soon realized what he had asked.
"Well, um. They know that we didn't do anything now." He smiled nervously and rubbed the back of his head and quickly looked back at the game in time to see his team's quarter back to get tackled. "Ah man."
Sasuke tried to figure out what he meant by that. "What is it Naruto, you're not telling everything." Naruto flinched but laughed it off.
"Nah it was just something stupid the guys said, they were acting stupid as always. Hehe, it wasn't even all that funny. You know, the team you said you liked is winning." Naruto pointed to the T.V. Sasuke glared at him and he gulped. He sighed and leaned away from Sasuke before he spoke. "TheysaidthattheywishedyouandIweregaytogetherbecau sewelookgoodtogether." Naruto inhaled deeply and waited for Sasuke's explosion.
"You're an idiot Dobe. How am I supposed to understand anything you say whenever you talk so quickly and with only one breath! You're such an idiot!" Naruto glared at Sasuke and shook his head. He went to open his mouth but there was a weird noise that came from nowhere.
Sasuke squirmed in his seat as it sounded through the room again. "Teme, you didn't eat did you! You're hungry. Naruto smiled as Sasuke glared at the floor, avoiding Naruto's gaze. "you really can't do anything on your own can you Teme." Sasuke threw the remote at Naruto without looking up.
Naruto ducked away from the flying remote and grabbed the first thing from the table and through it at Sasuke. "Don't through that idiot! I don't want those lying around my house. It's weird enough with that old lady passing them out."
Naruto laughed as Sasuke pinched the very edge of the condom wrapper and through it quickly onto the table. He was about to comment whenever the noise from Sasuke's stomach rumbled out again louder than before. He shook his head and stood up. "I'm sort of hungry to; I'm going to go make us something to eat." He said making his way past Sasuke to the kitchen.
After a while, Sasuke followed his nose into the kitchen and hopped up on the counter. Naruto looked up from the food and towards Sasuke. He leaned up towards his face and Sasuke froze. "You're in my way Teme, lean to the left." Sasuke leaned over and Naruto got into the cupboard behind him producing two bowls.
Sasuke thought he saw Naruto smirk at him and he realizes he had warmth to his cheeks. He mentally face palmed. Because of that old lady! Now it's going to be weird between us for a while. He thought to himself as he grabbed his bowl and sat in the living room. Whenever Naruto came from the kitchen with his bowl, he sat it down on a coaster, (Sasuke forced him to use one.) and went into his room.
Sasuke realized that Naruto is really good at noticing some of the weirdest things. Like perhaps, his dirtied floor had been kicked through, or his shirt wasn't pressed under the door like it had been, or maybe even that his dirty laundry hamper isn't empty anymore. "Shit." Sasuke said as he heard Naruto's door slam closed and stomps coming towards him.
"Did you find what you were looking for Teme?" Sasuke looked up with false innocents. Naruto just wasn't having it. He growled and as Sasuke went to take a bite of his food Naruto grabbed his arm and pulled him up and towards his room.
"What the hell Dobe!"
Naruto turned harshly and glared at Sasuke. "What is that Sasuke? I know you were in my room!" Sasuke sighed in defeat. He was expecting to see Naruto pointing to the closet, the laundry basket, or even the cloths on the ground. But no, he was pointing at a random spot on the floor without clothing on it.
"It's a floor, what about it?" Naruto glared and crouched down, motioning for Sasuke to do so as well. With a roll of his eyes, Sasuke squatted and tried to see what Naruto saw. There was nothing but carpet though.
Naruto placed his foot down and pointed. "I couldn't have made that foot print Sasuke; my foot is bigger than yours." Sasuke looked at him in astonishment. Now that Naruto pointed it out, he could see a slightly darker shade in the carpet that showed where he stepped down on the carpet. He had said that Naruto will notice the weirdest things, but this was both weird and impressive.
"Naruto, im not going to deny that I was in your room. However, I only came in here because your mess of a room was spilling out from under your door. Seriously Naruto clean up a bit." Naruto locked eyes with him and suddenly Sasuke felt like he couldn't move. In a small way, Naruto's eyes mimicked that of wolf's eyes. They seemed to look through you, yet see everything inside your mind and soul at the same time. It was unnerving at the least.
"Sasuke, there is a reason I'm here." Sasuke looked interested and intent on listening but Naruto shook his head. "I'm not ready to tell you yet. So please, don't go snooping around. Okay?" Sasuke almost fell over. His eyes had widened slightly and his mind spaced a bit out.
Naruto had taken the one path Sasuke hadn't prepared for. He gently requested his privacy with an urgent emotion present in his voice. He also revealed that he had a secret, but he stated that he wasn't ready to tell it. This made Sasuke's chest restrict, he already knew the secret and it hurt him in every way possible. He cleared his throat but couldn't break away from the spell Naruto's eyes had him under.
Since Naruto was being mature about this, then so would he. "Naruto, you really are the biggest idiot I know." Naruto glared and Sasuke felt that he could breathe again. He smirked at him and quickly stood up. "That's why you should know that you can count on me to be there when you screw up."
Naruto still had a glare, but it was a playful one. "I don't need you to help me all the time. I got this to. I just need a place to crash is all. I promise, one day I'll tell you. Just not right now." Sasuke nodded and turned to leave but he heard a small noise come from Naruto and he turned to see what it was. "Well, it's just. I mean."
Sasuke grabbed the blond by the back of the head and pulled him into a half hug. "You're welcome idiot."
