Geez guys thank a lot for your patience! It took me really long to write this chapter mainly because the first time I wrote it got deleted by mistake and it frustrated me a lot. So I procrastinated. But, well, I did it...finally. Sorry if it feels rushed.

Don't forget to Review!

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, Kishimoto-sensei does.

I sat in my room for most of the day doing my homework because I wanted to avoid Naruto as much as possible. He came back around lunch time with instant noodles and chilled in my room, even though I specifically told him I wanted to be alone.

Every now and then Naruto would crack up laughing; he was sprawled on my bed reading a manga while I was trying to concentrate on doing my homework or at least pretended to.

"Would you shut up?" I said glaring at him as he laughed again, "Why are you in my room anyways?"

Naruto peered at me through the manga and said, "I don't get why you're doing your homework. I mean it's the weekend, chill out!"

"Just leave."

Suddenly Naruto got up throwing the manga in the process, he grabbed my arm and pulled me off of my desk, "Why are you studying? You already have perfect grades; ditching homework once in a while will do you no harm." He said with a smirk.

Naruto dragged me out of my room and forced me to wear his winter jacket as he said, "We don't want you catching a cold now do we?" he then grabbed hold of my hand and pulled me out of my house.

"Let go! Where are you taking me?" I asked.

"To have some fun!" he said joyfully.

I tried to pull my hand from his, but that only resulted in him tightening his grip on it, in the end I sighed giving up and instead tried to enjoy the fact that we're holding hands in public; even if the feeling was just one-sided. I burrowed my face in his coat to hide my blush and to secretly also enjoy his scent on his jacket. Even though Naruto was only 3 inches taller than me, his jacket was a little big. I breathed in his scent deeply making sure I remembered it.

Naruto hummed happily throughout the way until we reached a 4 story apartment which I assumed was where he lived.

"Are we going to your place?" I asked as we entered the building.

"Yup!"

"Why?"

"Because." He said simply

The moment Naruto opened the door a blur of orange fur suddenly attacked him, Naruto fell back laughing as his dog, Kurama, licked him in greetings.

"Hey big guy! Didja miss me?" He said as he ruffled Kurama's fur, the dog barked twice wagging his tail and then licked him some more. "Alright, alright I had enough, attack him now!" Naruto suddenly said pointing at me.

"Whu-?" I said caught off guard, Kurama jumped at me and started licking my face. I fell back on my butt hard and tried to pry the dog off, "Okay, enough! Naruto get him of me!"

Naruto laughed hard as he picked up his dog from me and laid him down, "You should've seen your face! Hilarious!"

I scowled to hide my blush and shoved him away.

When I walked into his apartment it felt like walking into a dump, there was trash everywhere, his clothes were all over the place and a pile of dirty dishes were sitting on the sink waiting to be washed.

"I don't know what I was expecting…" I mumbled to myself.

"hm?"

"Uh…nothing. Anyways why are we here again?" I asked

"Didn't I tell you already? We're here to have some fun, cum on!" he said urging me to follow him to the living room. I took his jacket off and laid it on the couch before sitting down. Naruto walked to the TV and fumbled around for a bit before turning towards me holding to controllers with a wide grin.

"We're playing video games?" I asked raising one eye brow "Aren't you too old for that?"

"You're never too old for video games. So, you're playing or not?"

"No thanks, I don't play video games." I said bluntly

"Huh? Why not? You scared of losing?"

Naruto was acting like a child and it was irritating me but I wasn't going to fall for it, "I'm not scared, I just don't want to play with you!"

"You heard that Kurama? Sasuke, here, is a chicken too scared of simple video games!" Snickered Naruto, while his dog barked loudly.

"I'm what?"

"You heard me, a chicken. Unless you think you can beat my high score."

I gritted my teeth and glared at him, should I fall for his trap or should I…

"So, you game or what?" he said dangling the controller in front of me

"Fine, but just one game." I growled

Kurama barked again and Naruto and I started our showdown. One game turned into two, then three, then four, and then we were playing other games and before I realized it we were competing against each other so hard and I was enjoying myself way too much. We played video games until we couldn't play anymore and our eyes were hurting so we decided to take a break and have a snack. But the moment we walked into his kitchen and took in the big mess we knew it was impossible to do anything without cleaning up first.

"Maybe we should get pizza?" said Naruto shrugging as we stood at the door way taking in the scene.

"When are you planning to actually clean your kitchen?" I asked bluntly crossing my arms

"Uh…maybe…sometime soon…I think." He said as he scratched the back of his neck.

I sighed rolling my eyes he couldn't be serious, I thought. The floor and the counter were littered with empty ramen cans and used wooden chopsticks and the sink was filled with dirty dishes and cups that looked more than a day old. And let's not mention the flies roaming the kitchen.

I cringe my nose and said, "We'll clean this up and then we can make something to eat. Have you ever had real homemade food?"

"Alright, okay. Let's clean this mess up, but we'll do it my way." He laughed

His way meant having a race on who washes the most dishes; I ended up winning of course. We opened the windows to air his house, we sorted the trash, we wiped the floors, the counter and the dining table and through it all Naruto insisted in making a competition out of it all. Not that I minded at all. After the kitchen was sparkling cleaning, we managed to make a decent meal with whatever was in Naruto's fridge.

My eye's suddenly snapped open and took in my surroundings, it's dark and I had a hard time figuring out where I was. I wasn't in my house, but in Naruto's and I somehow, at some time had fallen asleep on his couch. Last I remember Naruto and I were busy talking while having lunch, yet somehow here I was on his couch fast asleep. Slowly I got up and noted the blanket that was covering me, had slipped in the process; I shivered for the loss of heat and pulled the blanket back around me. Unconsciously I sniffed it and a small smile spread across my face, it smells like Naruto.

I was scolding myself for thinking of Naruto when I heard Kurama barking followed by Naruto's whispers.

"Shh! Keep it down will ya, you'll wake him up!"

Immediately I got up and a scary thought crossed my mind, he's leaving. He's leaving me. He's going to go and leave me. My breath quickened and I rushed to the front door to see Naruto squatting on the floor tying his shoes and Kurama sitting beside him with his tongue hanging. When he saw me Kurama barked causing Naruto to hiss at him, before he suddenly turned my way, "Shut up Kurama!"

"Where are you going?" I asked clutching the blanket tighter around myself feeling very cold.

"Sorry did we wake you up?" he said standing up; I couldn't make out his expression because it was dark.

"No, you didn't."

"I'm taking Kurama out for a walk, he needs to take a dump." He said

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and my grip on the blanket loosened. I think Naruto saw something on my face because he walked towards me and ran his hand through my hair.

"Hey, it's fine. I won't be long." He said resting his forehead against mine. I swallowed hard and found myself staring at his crystal blue eyes that somehow seemed to be shining in the dark. We stayed like that for a minute too long, staring into each other's eyes. The atmosphere between us suddenly felt charged as if there was electricity in the air. Goose bumps ran all over my body and the hair at the back of my neck stood, Naruto opened his mouth about to say something when Kurama suddenly barked loudly snapping us both to reality.

"Okay okay I get it!" said Naruto to Kurama. The electricity was gone, that intense atmosphere that was between us was gone too leaving me wondering if I had imagined it all. Naruto turned his attention back at me and smiled as he patted my head, "go back to sleep Sasuke." He said before walking away to his dog and putting a leash on him. "Good night." He said as he closed the door behind him.

I stood there staring at the closed-door and feeling my face heat up. What was Naruto going to say? I wondered as I walked back to the living room but stopped when I saw the door to Naruto's room ajar. Should I? I contemplated before finding myself headed for his room. It was dark and I couldn't make out anything beside his bed, I took a deep breath and flopped myself on Naruto's bed curling into a ball and falling asleep. I took a deep breath and smiled when I smelled Naruto's scent .Maybe it was a good idea, I thought, to spend the day with Naruto.
