Naruto didn't mind putting up with Sasuke's interesting habits.

Morning cuddling from Sasuke was one habit Naruto couldn't be happier to take part in. Of course, when Sasuke would fully wake up, finding himself wrapped around the blond or he himself in a cocoon of blankets when the blond wasn't there, he would resume all denial.

"I don't cuddle! That's just girly!"

Naruto would roll his eyes, shove the Uchiha out of bed, and their day would begin.

Later in the day, when the two would be seated at Ichiraku's for lunch, another one of Sasuke's little rituals would make its appearance.

When they ordered their lunch, Sasuke would always grab Naruto's ramen bowl before the blond, and he would take all the vegetables from Naruto's lunch and dump them into his own bowl. Then, on his own part, he'd take the meat and about a third of the noodles and dump them into Naruto's bowl.

Naruto didn't complain, it was just a weird habit Sasuke started when Naruto had rolled his nose at a piece of carrot that happened to be on top of a piece of shrimp in his bowl.

"Hey, if you don't like vegetables in your ramen, I'll take them. I'm not letting my money go to waste."

Around evening time, just when the sun would be setting, Naruto often found his companion stowed away on the highest branch of the tree outside of the apartment watching the sky change colors. Naruto would watch him for a minute, knowing that just as the last rays of sunshine faded from the sky and the horizon was red and purple, the Uchiha would slide back inside and be expecting dinner.

After dinner would be when Sasuke's most unusual ways would make its face known to the world.

Naruto would be sitting on the floor, reading through some scrolls Sasuke would bring over each night, studying them thoroughly. He'd suddenly feel a set of hands on his shoulders, massaging gently, releasing the tension.

He'd suddenly feel a set a lips on his neck, place a gentle kiss there before the Uchiha's presence disappeared altogether.

He would look up, and Sasuke would either be seen sauntering into the bathroom, towel slung over his shoulder. Naruto would take the hint, put his stuff away and rush into the bedroom with the scrolls, and get the bedroom arranged so after Sasuke got out of the shower, the two could spend the evening reading some of the scrolls, deciphering the text. That would last up until the first signs of drowsiness on both boys, and across the room the scrolls would fly and out would go the light.

This process would repeat the next day.
