Chapter Eight: This is a Hold-Up!
Naruto woke up to the bright sun in his face. He grimaced and sat up, only to fall back down from a sharp pain in his back. "Owies..." He gasped out.
"Morning, dobe." Sasuke said with a smirk as he entered the room with a glass of water and two painkiller tablets. He set them aside on the nightstand so he could help his lover sit up. "Heh, you sure took a banging last night."
"Shut up, teme..." The blond growled and gulped down the offered pills.
Sasuke chuckled and kissed Naruto on the forehead lightly. "You don't have to come to work today if you don't want to."
Naruto considered it for a moment before shaking his head. "We have a meeting today, right?"
"Hn, it's nothing really. Just a parking lot plan."
"Oh, then yeah. I'm out." Naruto grinned.
The raven smirked and kissed the blond on the lips gently. "I suppose you'll stay here, then?"
"Yeah. I'll just sleep and watch TV or something."
"Alright then, I'm going to take a shower."
"Okay..."
Sasuke kissed him once more before departing into the bathroom.
Naruto sighed and laid back in the bed. He brought his arm over his face and let out a shaky breath as he thought back to the conversation he had yesterday at the bar.
Flashback...
Shikamaru and Naruto sat at the bar following work that day. The blond felt more relaxed for some reason (probably because Sasuke took the day off from hounding on him and his friends for their peculiar behavior).
"Ne, Naruto..." Shikamaru said bemusedly, grabbing the blond's attention. "Are you and Sasuke careful about hiding your relationship?"
Naruto hummed and thought for a moment. "Yeah... I guess..."
"Well you're not doing a very good job cause that idiot Kiba has noticed something's been going on between you two."
"EH?"
"Yeah. He said he's going to 'investigate' the situation. So you and Sasuke need to be on your guard."
End flashback...
"I need to tell Sasuke...before he...leaves..." The blond said with a yawn as he became drowsy and soon fell back asleep.
Sasuke reentered his bedroom and got dressed. He looked back at the snoring blond and smiled. "See you later, dobe."
Hyuuga Neji almost fell out of his chair when Gaara rushed in with a black handkerchief over his face. "Gaara...? What are you doing?"
"This is a hold-up..." He said curtly, pointing his fingers at Neji like guns. "Give me your chair." 'The things I do for 30 points...'
"Wh-what...?" Neji stammered, flabbergasted.
"I said give me your chair." Gaara repeated, unenthusiastically.
"What's going on here?" A dark voice asked in amusement.
Gaara and Neji stared in horror as their boss stood in the doorway of the brunette's office.
"Uh... Gaara and I where just... Uh... Rehearsing a scene for a play that we'll be doing... At the children's hospital... This weekend..." Neji said quickly.
Sasuke nodded, failing miserable to hide his smile. "Don't be too loud..." He said and walked away with a chuckle.
Neji rushed over to the door and shut it, locking it in the process. "Damn it, Gaara! What's going on with you? The copy machine, your stapler, 'Neji-Weji'... What are you doing?"
The red head man stared at him blankly.
Neji growled and flung himself at the man, pushing him against the desk.
"N-Neji? What are you-" Gaara asked frantically as his handkerchief was pulled down roughly, but he was cut off by a pair lips. Green eyes widened in astonishment.
The brunette pulled away and rested his head on Gaara's shoulder. "What's going on with you...?" He asked weakly. "You've changed... Sort of. I mean, it's for the better, I guess. But... I don't know..."
Gaara continued to stare at the older man.
"Gaara..." Neji breathed out huskily, bringing his lips up to meet Gaara's once more.
"No... No!" Gaara cried, pushing the Hyuuga away forcefully. He ran over to the door and fumbled with the lock. Once he got that out of the way, he made a mad dash for his office and locked the door behind him.
The red head breathed harshly and leaned against the wooden entryway, sliding down to a sitting position. "What the hell, Neji..."
"Stop it!"
"Seriously, Lee! That's ridiculous!"
"Quit it!"
Kiba stifled his laughter in his hand as Lee ceased his actions of slamming his desk drawer repeatedly. "That didn't take very long." He mused aloud.
"Yeah, well it said until someone complained..." Lee snickered.
"And you got three."
The bushy browed man nodded and looked over at the dog lover. "What's yours?"
Kiba smirked and placed his hands behind his head. "I got an easy one this time. I have to gargle everything I drink before swallowing it."
Lee pouted and crossed his arms. "Lucky..." He leaned back in his chair to get a full view of the hallway to see Choji getting settled in his cubicle. "I wonder what Choji's is..."
Kiba shrugged and took a gulp of his coffee, gargled it, then swallowed.
Lee scrunched his nose at the sight. "You know what, that's kind of disgusting."
The brunette chuckled and did it again.
"Ew..." The bushy brow man commented.
"I...W...A...N...T...P...O...T...A...T...O...E...C...H...I...P...S... Period..."
"What the fuck?" Kiba said lowly, looking down the hallway. "Yo, Choji! What's the deal, man?"
The chubby man looked over at him and winked before going back to typing on the computer. "S...T...F...U...K...I...B...A..."
Kiba and Lee broke down laughing. Choji sounded so humorous and so concentrated on what he was doing while he typed. And it also made him seem stupid for saying each letter so measured.
"Oh, it's time for the meeting..." Lee announced and stood up, grabbing his jacket off the back of his chair.
"Yes! That means lunch is near!" Kiba cheered. 'Which means more time to fulfill my dare.'
"Nara, can I ask you a question? And I need a serious, honest answer." Sasuke said, his chin resting on his folded hands. Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Sai sat in the conference room, waiting for everyone else to show up to the meeting.
"Yes sir...?" Shikamaru said slowly.
"Why was Naruto's chair in the elevator this morning?"
Shikamaru and Sai snickered. "W-well, sir... I honestly don't know..." The lazy man replied.
"Uh-huh..." The raven said in an amused tone. Then would you care to tell me who did it, 'cause you were the first one here today, and I was the third and I highly doubt Temari would have done it."
'Aw, geez. This is pointless.' Shikamaru growled in his throat. "I put it there.. Just as a prank, sir."
"That's all I wanted to know. But you prank was futile because Naruto isn't coming in today."
Shikamaru smirked. "Why not?"
"Because he's having back aches." Sasuke replied curtly.
"Wow... He's been busy lately." The black-haired man taunted.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes and glared at Shikamaru as a warning for him to stop now or else.
"Hey, everyone! The star has arrived!" Kiba joked as he entered the conference room with Choji, Gaara, Neji, and Lee. The brunette looked around and furrowed his eyebrows. He was waiting for his blond-haired friend's normal reply, like, 'What are you talking about? The star arrived five minutes ago.' "Ne... Where's Naruto, Uchiha-san?"
"Do I look like his mother, Kiba?" Sasuke retorted.
Kiba shook his head quickly and sat down.
"I'm home!" Sasuke called as he closed the front door behind him. He took a whiff of the air as he removed his shoes and set his briefcase on a glass table. "Naruto?"
"Welcome home, Sasuke!" Naruto greeted cheerfully.
"What are you cooking?" The raven asked as he entered the kitchen and spotted the pot simmering on the stove. "It smells good."
Naruto giggled and held a ladle in the air. "Miso ramen!"
Sasuke's face fell immediately.
Noticing this, Naruto pouted. "What's wrong with ramen?"
The Uchiha sighed and waved his hand in the air. "Oh, nothing. Nothing except for the fact that you ate it yesterday for lunch and dinner. And I bet you had it today for breakfast and lunch as well." The last part was just a joke, but judging the guilty expression that flashed over his lover's face, Sasuke knew he was right.
"Well, I'm going to review over some papers for work in the bedroom." The raven announced as he exited the kitchen.
"You don't want any ramen?" Naruto called out after him.
"No. You eat enough for the two of us." Sasuke smirked.
Later that night, Naruto walked into the bedroom and crawled onto the bed. Sasuke lifted his eyes to see the blond and dropped them back down to the paper in his hand. The blond flopped down on the Uchiha's lap and placed his head on Sasuke's chest, blocking his view of the paper.
"Naruto..." Sasuke growled.
Naruto just looked at him and grinned. "What happened at work today, Sasuke? Anything interesting?"
Sasuke raised an eyebrow quizzically at the suggestive tone of the question. "Shikamaru put your chair in the elevator."
"What? Oh, he is so going to get it tomorrow!" Naruto exclaimed.
Sasuke snickered and tilted his head back. "Hmmm... Kiba was gargling everything he drank today. It was gross. Um...Choji found it necessary to alert everyone on the sixth floor what letter he was typing. And apparently Gaara and Neji are doing a play at the children's hospital."
Naruto was quiet for awhile.
Sasuke looked down to see if his dobe was sleeping, only to have a head of golden blond hair shoot up, hitting him in the nose. "Ah! The fuck, Naruto? Ow! Gawd damn it!"
"Ohmigawd, Sasuke! I'm sorry!" Naruto cried. "Anyway, I wanted to tell you something important."
The Uchiha growled but listened to what Naruto had to say.
"Shikamaru told me that Kiba suspects us!"
Ebony eyes widened. 'So that's why he asked where you were...' Sasuke thought to himself. "Hn, well then we won't give him anything to suspect." The raven said and rolled the blond over so that he was on top, straddling him.
"What do you mean?" Naruto half moaned as Sasuke attacked his neck.
"At the office, we act like normal boss and employee." Sasuke explained in his ear.
Naruto frowned. "No more 'punishments'?"
Sasuke paused. That would be hard, considering it was really hot to do it in the office. "Only during lunch breaks." He said quickly.
Naruto nodded in agreement. "Okay. So I go back to referring to as a bastard with a ten foot pole in his ass."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "And I go back to calling you a total idiot who is skating on thin ice."
The blond gulped, but nodded none the less. They were going to have to be much careful now.
