Ok, one note; This is music This is normal
Naruto could hear soft music drifting through his mind, soothing female vocals gently pulling him from a sleep that he was all too reluctant to leave. It was pleasantly warm, but not over heated and he could feel that the blankets had slipped off during the night and were twined around his legs. A warm breeze was tickling his face in soft regular puffs and his arm was draped as usual across his soft pillow.
The music was odd though, the blond thought groggily, he never left his music on while he was sleeping. Mabee he had fallen asleep without switching off the movie, but Naruto was puzzled as he was pretty sure Rhianna wasn't in 'Harry Potter'. He couldn't make out any real words but he recognised her voice (Sasuke had a lot of her music on his ipod ), it was soothing but Naruto knew if he went back to sleep he wouldn't get up the whole day and he and Sasuke had agreed to do sport training that day.
The last notes of the song rang out leaving a few seconds silence before it began louder than before so that Naruto could now make out the words instead of just hearing the soft blur of Rhianna's voice.
"Chest to chest,"
Naruto sighed and tried to shift his legs to stretch as he always did before waking, but the sheets were heavy and wrapped tightly round his legs. As he squirmed to try freeing himself from the covers, the pillow which he had his arm draped over began to stir.
"Nose to Nose "
Naruto froze. Was he hugging Sasuke's viscious Algerian Hamster-Gerbil-Dog?
"Palm to Palm,"
Would it bite him?
"We were always just that close."
Oh fuck, would he get rabies?
"Wrist to wrist,"
Wait...did Sasuke even have a viscious rabid Algerian Hamster-gerbil-dog?
"Toe to toe,"
Did they even exist?
"Lips that felt like the inside of a rose"
No, the blond thought, they didn't...phew! He relaxed as the chorus of the song begn to play, feeling relieved and a tiny bit embarrased with himself for getting all worked up out nothing. There was no such thing as an Algerian Hamster-Gerbil-Dog, especially not rabid viscious ones! So he couldn't be hugging one. It was obvious now that he was just hugging a...
Naruto felt puzzled, what was he hugging, it couldn't be a pillow , pillows don't breath. The chorus of the song was ending as he puzzled over this mystery, when the thing in his arms made a growly snuffly noise and began to squirm.
Naruto froze again, and this time his eyes shot wide open at the growl.

Sasuke slowly returned to consciousness as one of his current favourite songs drifted into his hearing. He tried to shift so that he was more in the direction of the sound, but something was attached tightly to his legs. The raven haired boy squirmed, annoyed at the restriction to his movements, and growled in frustration as a rolled up blanket thrown around his waste tightened. The music kept playing.
"Eye to Eye"
Sasuke fluttered his own obsidian eyes open and stiffened at the sight of two blue ones staring right back at him. Most of his brain was frozen with shock and...something else, but the small bit that remained awake was thinking scathingly 'Oh for the pete's sake, how cheesy is this?'.
"Cheek to Cheek,"
Both boys lay frozen where they were, each taking in the situation with looks of confusion and embarassment and...something else, nope actually, that was jut another heaping of embarrasment!
"Side by Side"
"Hn..." Sasuke tried to manage, but it came out a few octaves higher than normal, making it more of a squeak than the non comital unfazed approach he had been going for .

Itachi sat outside of the living room in the his same old snooping spot so that he could see into the living room without being seen, he rubbed his hands together in glee and opened his mouth in a silent evil laugh. It was all going to plan!
Earlier that morning, 3:03am to be exact, he had decided that his bedroom needed cleaning, NOW, and after piling up about three months worth of crap and washing he stumbled (gracefully) downstairs to offload it into the bin/washing machine/dishwasher/microwave */fridge. After loading the final plate into the machine he began searching through the cupboards for his arch enemy, knowing full well that his mother and father ate these on a regular basis and there were bound to be at least a couple of packets.
The raven haired teen shuddered upon finding the disgusting food , but nevertheless grabbed all 23 packets from the shelves, (Mikoto brought tons, as every time Itachi saw one, even when someone was halfway through eating it he would smash them on the floor and then stamp on them screaming like a maniac. Unfortunatley her son had a sixth sense when it came to this food and nearly always could tell when they were being eaten in the house, so she needed lots of spares.) and stormed from the kitchen, fully intending to go back to his room and stomp them into crumbs until morning when his mother would confiscate and lock away what remained.
Anyway, he had passed the living room and caught a glance of a wrapper on the coffee table and he ran in quickly to see if it was another one of the dreaded snacks. That was when he caught site of Naruto and Sasuke, legs twined together, faces oh so close, and he new this was a perfect oppertunity to embarass his little brother into admitting his feelings for his blond friend.
A plan formed in the oldest Uchiha brother's head and he hurried to his room, still clutching the snacks, and fetched his ipod dock. Then Itachi ran down stairs again, plugging in the speakers before hurrying up to his brothers room to fetch Sasuke's ipod. After a minute or two of shuffling he found the perfect song and then it took about twenty minutes to figure out how to put it on repeat, but he didn't turn it on just yet.
Itachi tiptoed into the living room and opened the window carefully so that a light breeze and some soft morning light would filter through when the sun came up, then as an afterthought he grabbed the snack from the table and glared at it as he ascended to his room to enjoy smushing food for an hour or two before he put his plan into action.
At about 8.30am the older raven crept downstairs with the ipod dock remote and took his position. He set the volume low and played the song, a smile twitching his lips, after two times through on quite he was bored so turned up the volume, thats when the boys in the living room started shifting. As the second verse of 'California King Bed' began Itachi saw his brothers eyelids flick open, and he laughed silently when the boy froze at seeing his friends arms wrapped around him.
Then Sasuke squeaked
Itachi had to bury his face in his hoodie to stop the flow blown laughter now, this was hilarius. Now they might finally have to face their feelings.
Naruto began to speak, and Itachi began to think of clever things to say when they had finished the cheesy romantic bit , taunt or be nice...hmmm.
"Uhh," Naruto could be heard nervously starting to talk, Itachi smirked, here it comes!
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE A VISCIOUS ALGERIAN HAMSTER-GERBIL-DOG!" The blond yelled suddenly into Sasuke's slightly offended looking face, "with raaaabiiiess!"
As Naruto whispered the last part, Sasuke burst out laughing and jomped on the blond, slapping him silly. "I Don't Have Rabies!" Each word punctuated with a slap, and soon both boys were rolling around laughing their heads off, awkward moment gone they forgot about the music which mysteriously stopped by the time they were lying exhausted and happy on their cushion bed.
Back in his room Itachi growled and slid down onto his bed, head in his hands. Those two were so fucking dense! He snarled and threw an intrusive snack wrapper from his bed, cursing stupid brothers and disgusting snacks in his head.

After a morning of lounging around wattching T.V. Naruto and Sasuke made their way into the grounds to do training for the upcoming week, where as Sasuke reminded him every chance he got, Naruto would be competing against the girls to help win the bet.
First they ran laps around Sasuke's huge garden, jogging to warm up first and then slowly getting faster as they both tried to stay slightly ahead of the other. Sasuke was quickly gaining an edge over Naruto, and he turned to smirk baack at the blond behind him but stumbled in a rabbit hole, rolling along the ground before coming to a stop lying on his ran over to him and after making sure he wasn't hurt witha quick glance the blond began to taunt his friend who was staring dazedly at the sky.
"Ha, Teme! Who's the Dobe now, eh?" he laughed and then helped the raven up, totally unaffected by the icy glare directed at him.
Next they set up hurdles between the trees using sticks, and then added a high jump into the small lake at the end. From there they would swim to the end of the lake, climb out and mount two dirt bikes which they would use to cycle up a hill, leave them in the bushes, then run all the way back to the house.
They did this course all the time , with Sasuke winning every time, except for when his foot was broken, but he had still come a close second!
"OK, whats the prize this year Dobe?" The raven smirked, "And no, we don't have ramen in the house! Actually we don't have much to eat at all, my mum is shopping now but the fancy place she goes to get our food is way away and she won't be back till before dinner."
Naruto pouted and whined dramatically,"But I can't last that long without food, and it's traditional for the winner to pick what we eat!"
"Well," Sasuke sighed, "We shouldn't eat that much after training anyway, so winner chooses weather we have cookies, crisps, or snack bars?"
"COOKIES!" Naruto yelled happily and he immediatley crouched into the start position ready for the run up to the hurdles. Sasuke crouched aswell, and after about five seconds they began to count in unison,
"Three, two, one, GO!"
Naruto haired off, trying to get an edge early on, because once Sasuke hit the water for swimming he was doomed! The raven swam like a fish, or a shark, that fitted better. They reached the first hurdle together,and tried to shove each other as they jumped beween the trees. (what? no one said they had to be fair!)
Sasuke landed a good kick on Naruto's leg as they went over a jump and the blond stumbled, but kept running, now a meter behind the raven. As they aproached the high jump Sasuke put on a spurt of speed and when the raven pushed off for his jump Naruto was momentarily destracted by the image of his friend, just in running shorts, sweating from exursion twisting over the bar and into a backward dive when he hit the water.
The blond slapped himself and continued on with the race, he lost sight of Sasuke whilst swimming through the water but when he hauled himself, dripping wet onto the bank he caught site of his friend pulling on a pair of trainers placed next to the bikes. By the time Naruto had his own shoes on, the Uchiha was already cycling up the hill.
Once Sasuke reached the top he had a second to stare at Naruto, who's well muscled legs were carrying up to the summit right behind Sasuke, his pretty blue eyes narrowed in concentration and his sunshine hair catching the light beautifully.
The Uchiha blinked, shook his head and began to dash down the hill towards his home, trying to run the thoughts out of his head. Finally Naruto caught up to him, right near the house, they ran neck and neck until the raven, noticing his friends heavy panting in his ear, panicked and began to sprint away, wide eyed, leaving Naruto in his wake.
pAGE BREAK
Naruto entered the kitchen grumbling. He was so sure he was going to win that time! Where had Sasuke found the energy? His raven haired friend leaned against a cupboard smugly, arms crossed and smirking.
"No cookies for you my friend!" He grinned evily and turned to open the cupboard behind him, then the little Uchiha stopped, eye twitching as he stared at the empty shelves.
Sasuke screamed stomping his feet as he shook his fist at the ceiling.
"ITACHI YOU BASTARD, STOP DESTROYING ALL THE FRICKIN CEREAL BARS!"
Ok thats it! (and on schedule for once!)
NOTE! This next week mon-fri I will be (hopefully) doing a chapter a day to make up for my impending absense!
