Chapter 10: Afternoon Fun
"That's the last of the boxes right?" Naruto asked as he set the box down in the bedroom that was across from his own. Sai nodded as he placed the box that he was holding next to Naruto's. it had only taken them about three hours with the help from the movers. Most of Sai's belongings were painting equipment; his easel, many canvases and paintbrushes. He had put all of his clothes into a duffel bag when he came over earlier that morning.
"That's a relief," Naruto muttered. "Well I'll be going then. Settle in and everything Sai. Kitchen has plenty of food so if you get hungry or anything you can cook." Naruto pulled out his phone and saw….he had missed a call that was from his father.
"Stupid old man," Naruto said grinning. He walked to his bedroom and threw himself down onto the orange sheets, calling his dad back once he was comfortable. On the first ring Minato picked up.
"Naruto, why didn't you answer?!" Minato yelled into the phone. Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Dad, I was helping Sai get all of his things into the apartment," Naruto replied once his father had calmed down. "Where's mom?"
"Don't you want to talk to your old man?" Minato pouted. And practically fell out of his chair when he got a no in reply. Kushina walked over and picked up the phone and patted Minato on the head.
"You shouldn't do that to your father, Naruto," Kushina scolded.
"I know but it is fun to do to him," Naruto giggled over the phone. Kushina couldn't help but grin. It was true; playing around with Minato was pretty amusing.
"So why did you call?" She asked him.
"I just wanted to know if it was you or dad who called me about 40 times in the past 3 hours," he replied honestly," and by the numbers im pretty sure it was dad." Kushina laughed as she listened to her son. Minato sat up finally and put his ear near the phone so he could listen to the conversation.
"Yes it was indeed your father," Kushina said
"Okay just wanted to make sure. I need to call that teme to get his butt back over here," Naruto growled the last part into the phone. Kushina's eyebrows went up in surprise while minato's scrunched in puzzlement.
"Why did he leave," Minato whispered.
"Because, Dad, Sai was moving in," Naruto answered his father's question which he had heard it loud and clear. "Anyways I'll call you back before I go to bed Mom." Kushina said that was fine and hung up. The blonde looked up at his ceiling and thought about how to call Sasuke.
With your phone you idiot, he thought and laughed. And so he did, he simply went to Sasuke's name in the address book, hit call and raised the phone to his ear. The teme answered on the third ring.
"Is it too late to ask you to come back over," Naruto whispered into the phone. He heard the raven suck in a breath.
"No," Sasuke said already grabbing his jacket, which had the Uchicha symbol on it, left his room and ran to the front door. "Itachi tell mom and dad that I'm going out," he yelled.
"Bye Sasuke," his parents yelled back, they had been standing outside his door and he hadn't even noticed them in his rush. Sasuke ran down the street and didn't stop until he got to Naruto's apartment building. He ran up the stairs, ran to Naruto's door and finally stopped in front of it. He didn't even have to knock on the door; it flew open right when he raised his hand. All he saw was yellow; Naruto had jumped into his arms instantly.
Sasuke had made it there in a matter of five minutes.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you," Naruto sobbed," I didn't know that he would come over today and move in right now." Sasuke placed his hand on the blonde's mouth causing him to stop.
"It's ok. I should of know that there was a reason you hadn't told me yet and I know that you don't have any control over that jerk's decisions so don't be so sorry Naruto," Sasuke whispered. Naruto's blue eyes widened then softened. He was smiling.
"How about we watch that movie now?" Naruto asked and Sasuke nodded. "I already made popcorn, oh its still warm!" Sasuke laughed at Naruto's amazement.
Itachi looked at the bowl in front of him. "I bet Sasuke's having popcorn or something that Naruto made," he muttered.
Sasuke sneezed. "I bet Itachi's talking about me," he sneered, causing Naruto to laugh. They were sitting on the orange couch in the living area watching the movie. (Ahem I am sorry but I don't want to put what went down in the living room.) Once it was over, they decided to go for a walk to the park. Naruto grabbed a small loaf of bread as they were leaving.
"What's that for?" Sasuke questioned as they were walking down the stairs.
"You'll find out," Naruto grinned and walked past the frozen Uchicha. "Come on Sasuke," he called and Sasuke ran to Naruto. As they got closer to the park, Naruto took a slice of bread out and handed it to Sasuke. Suddednly the raven put all of the puzzle pieces together and smiled in triumph.
"We're going to feed the geese aren't we?" Naruto nodded and laughed. Sasuke started to walk faster than him. "Come on, dobe, we might miss them," he called over his shoulder. Naruto laughed again, happy to be in this moment with Sasuke letting his worries go. The teme was already at the little lake when Naruto finally caught up with him. Sasuke had decided to run which in turn made the piece of bread that he had been holding to fall apart. Other birds were already eating the trail of crumbs that Sasuke had made. Handing the teme another piece of bread, Naruto tore his own and threw some to the geese and other birds that were in the park. Sasuke was doing the same and once they were out, they left the lake to go sit at a picnic table.
"So is Sai always going to be at the apartment?" Sasuke asked.
"I hope not," Naruto muttered and looked at the top of the table. Sasuke thought of the things that Sai had asked him and had told him.
"Do you think that what I did yesterday will really pay off, Naruto?" Sasuke asked. Naruto looked at him with a puzzled expression. "You know how I tried to get Sakura and Lee together."
"Oh that, well I think it might work, possibly. I'm not really sure," Naruto stated his honest opinion. "Lee really is a good guy but I don't think that Sakura will give you up that easily. You know, she has liked you since you moved here."
"Dosent matter, I only had my eyes on a certain blonde," he said looking at that same blonde who was blushing. It never failed at making Sasuke's heart beat a little faster when that blush went across that face.
"Ddo you want to go out to eat or do you want to eat at my place?" Naruto stuttered and tried to control his heartbeat. Sasuke shook his head.
"I should head back home, I think Itach-"
"Sasuke there you are!" Itachi yelled and hugged his brother from behind.
"Speak of the devil and he appears," Dedira chuckled as he appeared behind Naruto. He sat beside the other blonde and patted the top of Naruto's head. "How's your little date going?" he questioned.
"Fine until you two got here," Sasuke grumbled in annoyance. Itachi smiled.
"How about we all go get something to eat then?" Itachi asked the small group. Sasuke looked at Naruto deciding that whatever he chose he would be okay with it. Naruto met his gaze and Sasuke thought that he saw a flash of mischief in the sky blue eyes.
"Sure where are you going to take us Itachi?" Naruto asked in his sweetest most innocent voice. Sasuke had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep his laughter in.
"I know a really great diner just down the road," Itachi said and stood. They also followed suit, Sasuke falling behind to be by Naruto.
"I know where the diner is. It's near my apartment so when we pass it go down the alley to the right ok Sasuke?" Naruto whispered. Sasuke nodded his agreement. Soon enough they were near Naruto's apartment building. Itachi and Dedira were deep in conversation and it didn't take the two that hard to slip away. By the time the itachi turned around to ask Naruto a question, the couple was in the apartment. Laughing, Sasuke closed the door and leaned against it, his whole body shaking from the laughter. Naruto was in a similar state, but he was on the floor. Finally they stopped but once they looked at each other the laughter began again, both boys had tears running down their faces from laughing so hard.
The perfect end for a perfect Saturday.
