Stretching as he gave a long yawn, Naruto arched his back with a soft groan. The sun kissed blond had fallen asleep in the beautiful heat of the sun, and he had awoken to someone throwing some sunscreen at him. His blue eyes opening up to glance at Temari, who was snoozing also, and then Shikamaru, who was drinking some beer while smoking a cigarette. A small frown grew as none of them seemed to be the perpetrator; Naruto glided his azure eyes over to Sasuke, his orbs widening when the raven was looking at him with a passive face.
"What?. . .You're going to burn you moron," he grounded out as he stood and slowly padded towards the pool, the blonds eyes following the pale man all the way until the raven dived into the glistening water. Those equally blue eyes finally looked back at the tube of sunscreen that hit his stomach...What do I say now?...The prick just did a nice thing...the blond thought with an irritated pout placed on his lips. Slowly flipping open the tube and squeezing out some of the white cream on to his body, beginning to rub it in all over. The blond did not notice Sasuke's eyes as the pale man had settled in the small spa area of the pool, bubbles blowing up from the seats and popping as they surfaced. However, Temari had noticed the small gesture of unusual kindness as well as Sasuke's longing stare. She may be resting but this woman doesn't miss a thing.
"Oi oi Naruto you haven't taken a dip yet. Why don't you go thank Sasuke while you're at it?" She asked the blond, turning her head to look at him and smirking.
Twitching from the smirk, Naruto glared playfully at her and closed the cap on the tube before moving it back onto Sasuke's bed. His cheeks blushing deep red as a weird thought crossed his mind...I feel like me and Sasuke just did a couple thing...like, how Temari hands over her cream to Shikamaru and then does his back for him...Blinking and hanging his head with a gentle sweat-drop, Naruto rubbed his face, feeling like a complete moron for even having the thought cross his mind.
"..Yeah I should.." He chuckled softly over at Temari, slowly getting up and stretching his muscles once again before padding around the pool until he reached the small area where Sasuke was, slowly getting in and sitting opposite the raven. "..Uh...Thanks" Naruto muttered while rubbing the back of his head. Sasuke's onyx eyes fixed deadly on the tanned man...Why did I give Naruto my damn cream...My stupid body's acting on it's own...The raven thought as he listened to blond idiot.
"No problem...It wouldn't be entertaining if you had to stay in your room from extreme sunburn" the stoic man countered. This comment making Naruto's hand clench in irritation.
"Che! You smug asshole!" he cursed, splashing Sasuke in the face. Naruto tensed as pure annoyance was now masking the pale man's face. Deciding it was for the best, Naruto leaped into the normal pool area, gasping as Sasuke grabbed his foot and body slammed on top of him.
Shikamaru's eyes lighted up for a second as he noticed the latest episode of "Vacation Love". Shikamaru had been searching for some sort of name for the entertaining soap that he'd see ever since the blond showed up. Although the lazy man wasn't to sure on if that would be the correct naming for such an incident. After all their 'love' was conflicted. Eye's roaming over to her man, Temari snickered.
"So here is my plan love~," she purred into her man's ear, getting his undivided attention.

Slightly disturbed that Naruto and Sasuke had now started a giant pool fight, kids and adults splashing each other all over, Sakura grumbled, trying to ignore the man beside her rubbing his pecks that seemed to twitch every now and then. Her green eyes narrowing slightly as she caught a quick glimpse of the raven and blond, the constant waves of water flowing in the air making it slightly difficult to notice many people.
Panting and looking around as he settled in the corner, Naruto chuckled softly as people started leaping into the pool. The heavier the person, the bigger the impact it'll have on the water. The once still water of the pool in constant waves from the immense action taking place; Naruto coughed slightly and rubbed his eyes as Sasuke sent a load of water to hit his face.
"Ngh! Okay! Okay! You win bastard!" Naruto gasped, trying to dry his eyes the best he could. Considering his hands were also wet, that would defeat his purpose.
Smirking as he managed to win at their little "battle" Sasuke enjoyed the advantage of having the blond cornered, his eyes taking in the blond's wet look with rosy cheeks. Wait? Rosy cheeks?
"Stop looking at me like that," Naruto grumbled, looking to the side as he felt a little uncomfortable to have such eyes intently focused on his face. Raising a perfect brow, Sasuke laughed.
"Ooh~? You're blushing like how the women around this pool would," he whispered, taunting the other and feeling satisfied that he was still on top.
"Oh please!" Naruto snorted, fierce eyes fixed deadly on Sasuke. "Who was the one who suggested another date," Naruto countered, grinning from Sasuke's dropped expression...Heh take that you smug bastard!
Barking a laugh, Sasuke tried to regain his composure. "Oh? I can't really remember what I said, but for you to remember such a proposal, you must have had it on your mind ever since," he whispered as he neared the blond. Enjoying the sheer embarrassment that the other boy's face was showing.
"...Of course I would!" Naruto hissed, eyes narrowed. "I wouldn't have pictured you saying that!" He continued. "But you did. ..So you do want some more of Naruto," he stated smugly, smirking at the Uchiha.
"..Keep on dreaming," Sasuke replied as he got out of the pool and ran his hands through his wet locks, strolling back to his recliner.
Sakura watched in slight bewilderment, not sure what they had said, but their attitudes seemed a bit off. Firstly Naruto wasn't shouting and cursing at the sexy raven and Sasuke, and well, Sasuke seemed to be casually walking off with anger bitch-slapped across his face.
"What's going on?" She grumbled, taking her eyes over to Temari and Shikamaru who were whispering to each other. Everything seemed normal there except for that cunning grin plastered on Shikamaru's face. "..What am I missing?" She whined, Gai noticing the woman's distress and clearing his throat.
"I believe, it's homosexuality" he said, his dark eyes fixed on the pink haired woman's face.
"H-Homos?" Sakura stuttered, frowning at Gai. "Who. .Who Sasuke?" She asked, she knew Naruto was fantastically straight. After all the blond had been chasing after her since they first met in middle school. Gai rose an eyebrow and glanced back at the blond then at Sasuke. Remaining silent as he felt, if she hadn't realized the raven's sexuality then he shouldn't have to tell her. Blinking as Gai never replied, Sakura glanced at Sasuke in worry...No way could he be gay...But if he is and he's messing with Naruto, could that mean he's flirting?...Facial expression dropping, Sakura glanced at Naruto in complete horror...I must save him!..

Drying her hair with a towel, Temari walked out to the balcony where Shikamaru was sitting, the pineapple haired man taking a long drag from his cigarette.
"You should cut down from smoking so much Shika," she scolded her partner, sitting down beside him and taking the smoke out of his mouth and putting it out. Heaving a sigh, Shikamaru chuckled softly and kissed her.
"Sorry love...Oh yeah I brought the things you asked for," he whispered. "You sure it'll work out?" He asked, slightly concerned at how dirty she was going to play. Nodding Temari snickered.
"Well hopefully...Did you ask Sasuke out for a drink as well as Naruto?" She check up on him, wondering if the lazy man did everything she requested him to do.
"I think I did Temari..Sasuke was a bit, suspicious at first but still said yeah," the lazy man chuckled, yawning and looking out at the plants and the sprinklers going off. "And of course Naruto was all for it," he yawned once again, scratching his stomach.

Sighing heavily as he put on his shirt, Naruto ruffled up his hair and padded towards his bathroom, brushing his teeth while staring at his reflection. Him and Sasuke hadn't spoke after their little water fight conversation. Although Sasuke did help him when he saw the blond hopelessly rub sunscreen on his back.
"Che. . .That bastard is messing up my holiday" he grumbled after spitting and washing out his mouth with water.
"Naruto?" Sakura called while knocking on the door, this causing the blond to blink and move to answer the door.
"Oh hey Sakura, you alright?" He asked, slightly concerned at her urgent knocking. Nodding Sakura chuckled and smiled at him.
"Yeah of course..Just wondered what you're getting up to tonight?" She asked, fiddling with her black dress. Raising a slight curious brow, Naruto scratched his forehead.
"Just drinking with Shikamaru tonight...Why? Want to go out and eat after?" He asked, smiling warmly at the woman.
"Oh..That sounds nice, but there's something you should kno-" Sakura was cut off, jumping when Temari patted her shoulder. "Eek!" Laughing at the rosettes reaction, Temari grinned at them both.
"Sorry you have to cancel your plans tonight...Sakura, me and you are going out clubbing tonight, we can catch a bite to eat before" she proposed, placing her hands on her hips as she winked at Naruto.
"U-uh alright then..Naruto, You and I'll go out another time, okay?" Sakura suggested. "Temari I have to tell Naruto something, so I'll meet you downstairs in a minute," she snickered. The dirty blonde haired woman nodding and waving as she strolled towards the stairs.
"What is it Sakura?" Naruto asked, feeling excitement bubble up within him as the bubble gum haired girl walked into his room.
"It's about Sasuke," she mumbled, leaning in closer to Naruto, who's hopes had just been slaughtered.
"Oh? What about the bastard?" he hissed, slightly pissed off that she was so obsessed with him. Biting her lip, Sakura looked to the floor.
"I think he might be gay," she replied, slowly raising her eyes to look at him. Blinking, Naruto stared at her slightly, chewing on his lip as he continued to look at the girl before him...Gay? Gay?
...Naruto eyed up the referee who was still chatting up the woman, apparently getting somewhere as she was now perched on his lap and groaned.
"C'mon! If your talking to a girl like that how will he even notice the game?" Sasuke eyed up the woman and scoffed.
"She's not even good looking.." Naruto checked out the chick and looked back to gape at Sasuke.
"What? You seriously are a prick with a stick up his ass..Do you have some high standards that no normal girl would be able to meet?" Naruto inquired. Sasuke turned around, moving back toward where the action was going on.
"So small minded aren't you?"..
Mouth hanging open, Naruto had to force it closed as that memory touched his mind, Sakura's curious eyes scattering all over the tanned man's face as she watched him process what she just said.
"Naruto?. .Are you okay?" She asked, slightly worried that the blond could secretly be homophobic, not wanting her holiday to be completely ruined by the blond's sour behaviour. Not that his behaviour so far was something to be happy about. Finally nodding his head, Naruto frowned a little and raised his hand to his mouth...So when Sasuke called me small minded...He meant that? He meant that I couldn't consider the fact someone was homosexual or...am I over thinking it because of what Sakura had just said..
"Uh..Sakura you should head out to Temari now..Thanks for giving me a heads up." He chuckled and patted the girls shoulder, slowly moving her out of his room and closing the door. Worried, Sakura stared at the door for a minute before walking off to the stairs. The blond resting his back against the door panel, slightly shocked.
"...I forgot to ask her why she thought that," he mumbled to himself.
