The sun is shining on this GLORIOUS day! My mind shouts. "So…Naruto-san…where do you want to go today?" I say in a somewhat happy manner.
"Uh…I really…don't know, Sasuke-senpai." He stutters.
"Okay. I'll take you to my favorite store and then I'll take you to sushi. My treat!" He smirks.
"I'm more of a ramen kind of guy." I smile.
"Who cares? They'll probably serve ramen there too. But sushi…is so good." We walk down into Harajuku where he looks around at the people in amazement. "I assume you've never been here before, right?" He nods. I pull him by the wrist and jog to the nearest store. "Pick out some pants and shirts and two sweatshirts. You don't have to get them all here, though." He smiles and ventures around.
"Ah…there's no way I can afford any of this!"
"My treat. Pick something out. I'll help you look." I'm being so kind…and even I can't explain why. It's a nice change of pace. "Maybe I can buy you a suit of armor, Naruto-san." He looks at me funny. I realize that I've actually said that aloud. "N-never mind…" I turn away quickly for fear of him seeing me blush.
"Are you blushing, Sasuke-senpai?" Shit… I shake my head.
"Don't be stupid, dobe! Why would I blush?" I look at the rack of eccentric clothing. "Is this stuff your style, dobe?" He shrugs.
"I'm still trying to find one." I sigh and remember when I was just like him. Now I'm the smooth-hitting lady's man that can get laid on the first date. My friends call me "The Fox" because I can sneak easily in between a girl and her pants, but that's beside the point. I pick out some cool looking shirts and hold them to his torso. I can't decide, so I ask a random lady nearby. "Excuse me, but…would this look utterly hot on him?" She nods.
"Yes, I think so!" I nod thanks and, once again, I receive a sexy look from the stranger. "It would look better on you, though."
"Sorry, but this isn't my style."
"Sexy isn't your style? You sure had me fooled." I smirk.
"Thank you, ma'am." I put it on Naruto's arm. "Do you like it, Naruto-san?" He nods.
"Thanks…I'll…go look elsewhere." He walks off to look for other clothes.
"Your friend?" I nod.
"Yes. My boss is having me look after him for a while because it's his first time in Tokyo." She smiles and pulls out a pen.
"Good luck." She writes her number down on a piece of paper and passes it. "Naruto-san!" He looks up and looks as though he's a deer in the headlights. "Come here!" He walks suspiciously towards us. She hands him a phone number as well. "Call me sometime." Naruto blushes at this gesture and takes it with a shaking hand. When she goes to the counter I pat his back.
"Good job, Naruto-san, you got your first phone number. Look, never ever give a girl your number. Wait until she gives you hers and wait for about two days and then call her. Make up an excuse like 'I just found your number and decided to give you a call!'" He nods as he hands me about three shirts and two pairs of jeans. "Did you try them on?" He shakes his head. "Naruto-dobe… try them on." He sighs and takes the clothes while walking through the small aisles to the dressing rooms.
I sit at the bar with Naruto at my side. We hit our first two stores and started to get hungry. It's about four and we still have a few stores to go to. With a mouth full of ramen, Naruto turns to me. "How can you afford all of this?" He asks bluntly.
"My parents were rich and my brother's a quack, so everything went to me. I am left to carry on the Uchiha name. If only they knew the half of it…" I give a light chuckle and lean against the bar.
"Why's that so funny?" I shrug.
"Because, Naruto-san…You wouldn't understand." He slurps the last noodle hanging from his mouth.
"Try me." I sigh.
"Not now, dobe." I pay the cashier for our food and we head out once again for shopping. We walk to a nearby store and I begin to look around. It's my favorite place to shop. I look to the checkout counter to see Megumi and I continue shopping after holding her stare for a few seconds. "Do you have anything new in, Megumi-san?" She says nothing. "If you don't tell me the truth…or anything at all…I will have you fired, do you understand me?" I hear a small sigh.
"Yes, we do. Come with me." I look up at Naruto and flick my head towards the back of the store where she is leading me. He trails behind as we enter the back room. "Here's our new stock. Take your pick." She says dryly. I gently grab her chin and move her head this way and that.
"Don't be so bitter…or you'll be in the unemployment line." She sighs and jerks her head from my hand. "I'm not fucking kidding, Megumi-san. Give me a smile." She merely glares at me and I go through the boxes of their newest shipment. "I'm a preferred customer, Godammit! I come in here three times a week and I buy something every time. I keep food on your table, so you better be fucking grateful, bitch!" I get really close to her and she breaks down crying.
"Sasuke-san, I still love you! How could you do that to me?!" I smirk.
"Oh, it wasn't that hard."
"In front of a lot of people too!" I shrug and continue to go through the clothes and, every now and then, hold up something to Naruto. He has a few sweatshirts and other things in his arms by the time I get done and I pick out a few things for myself. "Let's try these on, Naruto-san." I lead him out of the room and into a stall to try things on. "I wanna see everything, so come out when you put something on!" After a minute or two he comes out with a shirt that makes me want to get an erection. I hope I don't.
"What do you think?" I hear faintly. "…Sa-Sasuke-teme?" I look up from my fantasy of hot mass upon hot mass to see him eagerly waiting praise.
"It looks good on you!" I look at my watch to see that it's nearly five. "Hurry and try on the others. I want to get home by six." He nods once and goes to try on the next item.
I throw my bag upstairs (because it's low enough to be able to) and walk up after it to put it in my small closet. I have more clothes than is necessary, but I'm a man of fashion. What can I say? When I finish I walk down the steps of the loft to see Naruto on the couch. "What're you doing here?"
"You never told me about what you were talking about in the sushi restaurant. I came back to find out." I sigh.
"Not now, dobe. I'm too tired."
"Fine! I'll stay here until you tell me!"
"Then you can sleep on the couch." He looks at me with a confused and shocked look on his innocent little face. How could anybody not be attracted? Now I just have to observe an insane amount of self-control tonight.
