Author's Note: Gomenasaiiiiiiiii! This is really a late update! Well, I won't keep you, enjoy!
Chapter 9
It was a hot summer afternoon. The ninjas of Konoha had hardly received missions these past few days and the heat was making them sluggish. A certain blonde, however, is energetic as always.
"Come on! Sasuke! You have you help out!" He tugs at the raven's arm trying to pull him off the couch. The brunette, on the other hand, refuses to move. Any other time he would have been glad that the blonde was this clingy, but today he was in a bad mood. Naruto was going out of his way trying to bring people together with some crazy idea of his again and it was kinda pissing the raven off with the summer heat and all.
"Dobe, if you want to go, go by yourself!"
The blonde, exasperated, lets go and pouts. "Whyyyyyyyyy?! Sasuuuuuuke! Coooooooome! It'll be really fun! I promise!" The blonde smiles earnestly and nods his head vigorously.
"Whose birthday was it again?"
"Neji!" He smiles happily unaware of the deadly aura the Uchiha was giving off. He scowls.
"I'm definitely not going, not to mention 'help out.'"
The blonde perks up as his eyes give off a mischievous glint. He wags his imaginary tail and rests his head on the raven's lap snuggling against him, his arms snaking around the older boy, embracing him. The raven's eyes widen and he slowly looks down at his lap. Looking up were the biggest blue eyes he ever saw and the cutest pout the blonde had ever given him. He wriggles his nose cutely like a little fox sniffing a new territory. Sasuke can feel his blood rushing to his groin. He gripped onto the armrests until his knuckles were white.
I'm not going to fuck him here. I'm not going to rape him, I'm not going to rape him, I'm not going to rape him, I'm not going to rape him, I'm not going to rape him! Sasuke clenched his fist together and continuously repeated this mantra in his head.
"Sasuuuuuuuuuke-chan! Onegaaaaai, come?"
Come!? Come!? That helps a lot! I'm not going to rape him, I'm not going to rape him, I'm not going to rape him, I'm not going to rape him!
"Please Sasu-chaaaaan, won't you come with me?"
Arrrrrrgh! Sasuke throws his head back and hold back a moan that threatened to escape his lips. He gritted his teeth and managed to say,
"If I go with you will you get off of me?"
The blonde grins and wiggles his eyebrows slyly. He smiles and gets up brushing himself off. He grins and looks innocently at Sasuke as he opens his eyes gasping for air. Easy, easy. The blonde smiles and pulls the raven out the door in the blink of an eye.
"Oi! Lee, Ten Ten! I brought one more to help out!" The two look up form the decorations they laid out and smile.
"Arigato, Naruto." The brown haired girl point to some tables set out in the small room. Can you assemble the plates and forks? Hinata and the others are going to bring the food."
"I told Iruka and Kakashi-sensei about this! I think they're coming later!"
Lee nods approvingly. "Gai-sensei would be here soon. He would be pleased that the fountain of youth is stronger than ever!"
Sasuke scowls and turns away. This was not how he wanted to spend his day. He blamed himself for agreeing to come. But how could I have said no to Naruto in that situation?! He glances the blonde who was chattering away to Lee. I doubt he would, no, I doubt that he could do that on purpose. He's as dense, as, well, dense as Naruto. No, he couldn't toy with me like that
"Sasuke! Come on! We have to assemble the forks and plates! Hinata-chan said she was going to make a biiiiiiiiiig cake." The blonde pulled his arms apart to demonstrate while jumping up and down.
Yes, this dobe could never pull off something like that if he were to do it on purpose… Sasuke smirks.
"Yeah, whatever. Where are the forks and plates?"
Two WHOLE Hours later!
"Yatta! Done!" Ten Ten smiles and pats the blonde on the back.
"Thanks to you. You pulled everybody together in the end." Sasuke rolled his eyes as the blonde beamed. All the dobe did was bounce around here and there talking to people, if not distracting them.
Kiba cheers and they congratulated each other for doing such a splendid job. The decorations were put up by Shino and Kiba while Chouji, Ino, Ten Ten and Hinata made the cake and cooked the food. Lee and Sasuke took care of arranging the tableware and the chairs. And well, Naruto did what he did.
In the midst of clapping and cheering the blonde stood there scratching his chin. Something was not right. They were forgetting something and he knew it. Kiba howled and hopped onto a table.
"Lets eat!" The others laugh and gather at the food table handing each other cups and plates.
Naruto frowns. He was almost positive that something was missing. "Hmmmmmmmmm…Ah! STOP!!!!!!!!"
Kiba grins and looks at him. "What? You wanna eat get first dibs or something?"
"Did we send anybody to get Neji? I mean, this is his birthdayparty."
Sasuke smirks and leans back into the folded chair. He was enjoying this. Lee's hand shot up.
"I volunteer to go for Neji-kun!" Ten Ten rolls her eyes and Ino shakes her head.
"No way! You'll ruin the surprise! Hmmm…" Her eyes scan the crowd and they land on….Sasuke! (A/N: Whooooo hooooooo! Big surprise!) "Sasuke-kun! You go!"
Nope. He took back what he said about enjoying this. "No."
Naruto laughs. "He looks like he's gonna go to a funeral! Lemme go!"
Sasuke shoots up from his chair already by the door. "I'll go for him. Wait here." He looks at Naruto. "Wait here." The blonde pouts and sprawled onto a chair.
Ino taps him on the shoulder as the others put back the plates and cups. "Naruto…where is Sakura?"
"Lets see. I peeked into her room and it was like all dark and stuff. She was sitting on her bed rocking back and forth with a blanket wrapped around her mumbling: Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun! She's gone maaaaaaaaad!"
"I think she has the Sasuke-over-obsessiveness flu or something. I'll bring this up at the next Sasuke-fanclub meeting." She scratched her head. "I'll have to fill her spot as president."
Naruto shrugs and scoots over to sit with Kiba slinging an arm over his shoulder.
"Doggy-boy, did you talk to Hinata-chan yet?" He turns away pretending not to hear him. The blonde snickers, he could even see the dog-boy's ears turn red as a tomato. He laughs and goes over to bother Shikamaru.
Meeeeeeeanwhile, back with Sasuke:
"Uchiha."
"Hyuuga."
"Come with me for a second Hyuuga."
Neji raises an eyebrow and crosses his arms. "You think I would because..?"
"This is not for me!" He looks away and grits his teeth. "It's for Naruto."
"Naruto?"
Now I got him interested. "Yes, Naruto. Now come with me."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Choooooooooouji! I heard you made some great food! I could smell all the great stuff coming from the kitchen." He pouts. "But then Sasuke held me back by my collar."
"Yeah, I made most of the sweets while the girls made the dinner foods. Try the cake. I baked it. The girls decorated it but I made the frosting too."
"Ooo, what flavor is the cake?"
"Chocolate and vanilla. I made more than one layer. Since there so many people and stuff."
Naruto opened his mouth to reply but the quickly shut it when he heard voices outside the door.
"What does Naruto have to do with Hinata's main branch manor?"
"Just open the door already."
Naruto closes his eyes in anticipation. 3, 2, 1!!!!!!!
"SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" They all yell out.
Neji blinks and rubs his eyes. He turns to look at Sasuke. "Do we have to wrong room?" Naruto jumps out and gave the pale eyed boy a great big birthday hug. Sasuke narrows his eyes and scowls.
Neji smiles and pats the blonde on the head. "What's all this for?"
The blonde looks up at him smiling, "Duh! It's like your birthday smash!"
Neji cocks his head. "My birthday?"
The shorter boy nods enthusiastically. The others watch with interest by the side. "Yeah! You dummy, how could you not know your own birthday?"
Neji smiles, "Naruto…my birthday passed…it was two weeks ago. Remember? That's when we went out for ramen."
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Oh yeah! Now I remember! I knew it was in July, but I wasn't sure when exactly. I seeeee."
"Naruto…" The guys shake their heads and the girls groan.
The blonde looks around. "What? We can still eat."
Kiba grins and steps onto the table. "Ladies and Gentlemen! EAAAAAAAAAT!" He dives into the pile of people. Ino raises and eyebrow and moves away. Ten Ten jumps out of the way just in time. Chouji and Shikamaru yawn and step out of the way. Hinata runs and hides behind Ten Ten and Ino. Lee raises both his hands waiting for Kiba. The smile is quickly wiped off of Kiba's face when he crashes into Lee. Their legs and arms tangle and the blonde laughs. Kiba groans and gets up. Lee jumps up and gives him the nice guy pose. Naruto hops onto the table and hollers,
"Happy Birthdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Party Begiiiiiiins!"
