The next morning Ino, Tenten, Hinata, Sakura and Temari were up bright and early cooking breakfast.
Naruto and his sensitive nose smelt the sizzling bacon before anyone else. He pounced out of bed, half naked with his sleeping cap on. "What is that?" He asked, barely able to open his eyes.
Sakura chuckled, turning to him. "Biscuits and gravy, bacon, eggs, and pancakes, we need one of you to run to the store to get orange juice, we forgot it this morning," Sakura put her weight on one leg, with her apron covered in flour she shook her rag towards the boy. "So hurry, get Sasuke and go. A good breakfast is not complete without orange juice."
"Oh and we need more eggs for Lee's drink. We kind of used all of them." Tenten chuckled, flipping the pancakes.
Naruto groaned, the whiskers on his cheeks flicking with his frown. He walked back into the room, jumping onto Sasuke's bed. His feet were at his friend's hips while his hands were placed on Sasuke's shoulders.
"Teme, get up! We have to go to the store."
The sleeping boy mumbled, "Oi, dobe, go by yourself."
"I can't, remember! Hello, I have people chasing after me. You are the only person who I feel comfortable with, now get up!"
Sasuke's onyx eyes shot open, meeting the marine ones above him. That shaggy blonde hair...and that fine toned skin...
"Oh, I mean," Naruto stuttered, "You are the only one that can protect me…ha, yeah. Anyways get up!"
They both got dressed and quickly drove to the store; they got everything that they needed.
Now in Sasuke's newly bought car, the two quietly sat there while the Uchiha drove. Naruto's eyes seemed to linger on Sasuke, the way his eyes moved, the way his lips swiftly cooed words.
The way his chest rose and fell…
"Oi, dobe,"
The way he licked his lips…
"Hey, Naruto!"
"What, what the hell do you want?" Suddenly being popped from his fantasy Naruto frowned.
"Don't stare at me like that." Sasuke complained, pulling into the garage, stepping out of the car and slamming the door. He left Naruto with a death stare.
"We're back."
"Great, just in time!" Temari took the groceries from Sasuke, giving him a light smile.
He had bought some liquor.
The rest of the gang had gotten up, still in their pajamas, and took a seat at the breakfast table. The windows were open, letting the warm light of the sun in. The house smelt like bacon, that warm tingling sensation you get when you wake up to a homemade breakfast.
Sakura brought the eggs to the table, while Temari and Ino carried the biscuits and gravy. Tenten put out the pancakes she had made, and Hinata happily filled everybody's cups with orange juice.
Once everyone was seated, they had finally noticed the empty spot at the table.
"Where's Naruto? Didn't he go with you?" Kiba asked, grabbing some bacon and feeding it to Akamaru.
Sasuke got from the table and went out into the garage, only to find Naruto still in the car.
"What was I thinking? Why would I…" The fox boy was rambling to himself when the Uchiha opened the door.
"Naruto, are you okay? The girls made breakfast...it smells really good." Sasuke tried his best to cheer his friend up.
He wasn't exactly the type to comfort people. So tempted to touch the blonde locks he was, he stopped himself, approaching the matter simply by taking the fox's hand and pulling him from the car.
Still holding Naruto's hand he quietly closed the door behind him and walked into the house, pulling Naruto in front of him. They walked towards the breakfast table, Sasuke's hands lightly grazing Naruto's hips before he took his seat, patting the one next to him.
Finally, Naruto was back into reality, and took the chair in between Sasuke and Neji.
