Okay…It's been a hard Monday for me. It is kinda three thirty in the morning now, so I guess technically its Tuesday. Meh…It still all sucks. I'm totally sick with some kind of flu, and I can't sleep and I missed my math final exam, so I need to write something. You've heard of 'midnight snack'? I tend to do midnight chapters. Helps me to un-stress and FINALLY fall asleep. (Smile). Anyways…on to the chapter. R&R please. And enjoy.

"So, you're turning down the mission? Big boobs mah-gee is going to have a stress induced ulcer if she doesn't find someone to do this one. Might even make me do it."

Sasuke smiled inside. He liked Shikamaru's pet name for the fifth. Although he did had problems accepting that his hair might never go back the way he wanted it, he wasn't going down with out a fight. The rest of the day was going to be reserved for Naruto-babysitting and hair fixing.

"I wouldn't go out in public looking like this anyways," Sasuke answered. Shikamaru sighed and slapped his palms against his thighs, bending over and frowning. This told Sasuke that he was done with his business, and about ready for a nap.

"See you, Shikamaru!" Naruto yelled as he gulped down the last bit of ramen Shikamaru bought for him. The three ninja had spent the afternoon eating greasy take out, which Shikamaru had volunteered to purchase to keep Sasuke's rage in check. Uchiha plus bad hair makes a dangerous combination.

The chunin 'hmphed' and left, shutting the door gently and walking down the hall. Sasuke could only guess what 'big boobs mah-gee' would do to him for not forcing the dark haired Uchiha into doing the mission. It would wait…Sasuke needed a shower.

"I need a shower," Naruto smiled as he headed toward the bathroom. No way, not now. Sasuke needed a shower. The said ninja grabbed Naruto's arm in a tight grip, stopping him from going any further.

"No, you're going to sit down on that couch and wait until I'm done with the bathroom." The only other solution was for them to shower together, and God only knows what Sasuke would do for a shower with Naruto, but that would have to wait until Naruto came out of the closet too. Maybe Sasuke would convince him that it would be a rivalry thing, and that they should rub each other's backs with soap for training?

Not even Naruto would fall for that.

"No, I'm taking shower, and if you're so bent over to have one too why don't you just get in there with me?" Hallelujah. Naruto had read Sasuke's mind.

"Fine."

"I was joking."

Sasuke choked on his own saliva and sputtered out an 'I know that!' as his flustered face shot to the floor. What an idiot; he should have known that Naruto was lying.

"You really are gay, aren't you?" 'Quit being so fucking smart, Naruto!'

"No I am not!"

"Then why are you still holding my hand?"

Sasuke loosened his grip on Naruto's hand and willed his face to go back to its pale colour. The red in his cheeks was obvious, but Naruto couldn't see that he was blushing. His ebony eyes glanced toward his hand, and he realized that now was the time.

"I'm not gay; I just want to screw you senseless."

It was Naruto's turn to choke on spit. Sasuke's dark eyes finally met Naruto's blue ones, and for a moment they just stared at each other.

"Are you…telling the truth?" Naruto asked. He looked shaken, and slightly unsure of himself. Something Sasuke thought he'd never see; the dobe was usually full of antics in any situation. Was this a sign? Did Naruto like Sasuke back?

"Yes." No hesitation. As expected of Sasuke.

Pink colour spread across Naruto's face, and Sasuke smiled. His father always told him to be like Itachi…but he didn't think that it meant to be gay. Ah, no matter.

Sasuke gently touched Naruto's cheek, staring at what was now his. All his, and such a cute thing Naruto was, too. He shut his eyes and pulled Naruto in, slowly and gently touching his lips with his own. A fluttery sensation ran through both of their bodies, and Sasuke felt tingles in tingly places.

"The week went by fast, huh?" Sasuke asked as he held Naruto in an embrace.

"It's only been three days."

"How come you didn't tell me that your apartment has been finished since the second day?"

"Didn't want to leave you all here by your lonesome."

"Liar." Sasuke had a strange feeling Naruto liked to torture him. He couldn't stand another day of sleeping so close to Naruto without pouncing on him and possibly molesting him.

"Uh…Sasuke?" Naruto asked, his voice shaken.

"What is it now, dobe?"

"I smell something burning."

--

Sasuke stood outside of his apartment building, dripping wet as he watched the flames consume his home. After suffering the torture of a fire hose, his hair went back to normal…sort of.

"Did I not tell you to NEVER touch the stove?" he asked, his eyes watering from the smoke.

"Heh, must've slipped my mind," Naruto, who was equally wet, smiled as he rubbed his neck. Sasuke sighed, shuddered, moaned and held back the urge to burst out into tears. This meant another week with Naruto. And God forbid anyone found out what Sasuke was going to do to the poor blonde within the confines of his home.

"You can stay at my house while they fix up yours. We'll call it…returning the favour," Naruto grinned.

"Pervert."

"Damn right."

Sasuke pulled Naruto towards him and wrapped his arm around the blonde.

"It's pretty, huh?"

Naruto nodded, agreeing with Sasuke. He loved being in Sasuke's arms, and he didn't want him to let go. Never. He slid his arm down Sasuke's back, holding him around the waist. 'Time to tell the truth,' he thought.

"I set my house on fire on purpose so I could stay at your house," Naruto confessed. Sasuke just smiled, and leaned his head on Naruto's.

"I know; you're too goddamned obvious, dobe."

Done. Totally, completely done. I didn't expect to be done, but I'm done. Yes. Done. I finished my story! (Cries). Hey, what the heck. Cute ending, huh? Time to go to sleep now. Bye bye! (Passes out on keyboard) agrnoeangipaer aerbea
