Sasunaru ch. 10
Sasuke finally got off the bed and slipped on a fairly tight gray v-neck tee-shirt and you guessed it, cackey cargo pants.
"Awww I was going to wear that…" Naruto said pouting
Sasuke ignored him and raided through his closet a little more. Eventually he came upon a very Naruto reminding orange shirt that said " Future Hokage" on it.
"Gee" Sasuke thought o himself " we know whose shirt this is…"
Sasuke threw the bright shirt to one side and found an olive green-ish shirt for Naruto to wear with tan just-below-the-knee-shorts.
Sasuke threw them at Naruto who, was watching and laughing as Sasuke pulled his pants over his Leaf symbol covered boxers. Naruto sat up and slung his legs over the side of the bed. He slipped the shirt over his head and slipped on his new pants.
It had ceased the lightening now but was still raining though not near as hard as it was previously. Sasuke walked over to Naruto who, conveniently enough was feeling pretty okay today. Okay we've been up since 7:00 and now it's nine…RAMEN TIME!!!"
"Alright, alright." Let me get my wallet, it's on me."
" I love you so much right now Sasuke, you don't even know…" Naruto said happily. He loved anyone who would treat him to ramen. Sasuke grasping on to Narutos hand tightly ( should he fall) guided him out of the door to the apartment, locking it behind them. Naruto tensed up his grasp onto Sasuke hand, Sasuke noticed.
" Relax naru, its okay" he spoke with a very reassuring tone, stroking the back of Narutos hand with his thumb. Naruto loosened his grip as they made there way to the elevator that Naruto hated so very much. He usually preferred to take the stairs, when on the rare occasion he even decided to leave the apartment. But being in his current condition that, obviously, was not an option.
He didn't like the way the elevator paused as it went past floors and had the constant fear of it getting stuck that feeling, even with medicine, never went away.
Sasuke pressed down arrow calling the elevator to the fourth floor, Naruto was feeling a little paranoid now as he heard the clanking of the gears while it made its way up the shaft. With each second he grasped Sasuke hand a little tighter and, moved a little closer. Sasuke pretended not to notice. There were two other people in the elevator already. One was a blonde, very short women with a very sweet-old-lady feel to her. And another was a strange looking man with a neatly cut mustache and…top hat? Sasuke smirked a little as he openly gawked at the mans fashion choice.
Facing his back towards the strange man he hit the "G" for ground floor. The elevator doors closed and the elevator started to click upward so they could drop off the other to members of the elevator. It shot up clicking and clanking and grinding as poor Naruto swayed dangerously on his feet. Sasuke took notice and wrapped one arm around Narutos shoulders, pulling him closer, much to the mustached mans disapproval. Fortunately he was the first to get off when the elevator came to a sudden halt on the 6th floor causing Naruto to jump a little.
With one more floor up on level 7 the short blonde lady got off, leaving Naruto and Sasuke in there alone.
Naruto Hated down. He couldn't stand the sensation it was the weirdest thing. And now he was going from the top exact top of the building all the way to the ground floor, lucky him. He shook violently and clenched onto the front of Sasukes tee-shirt as it flew quickly down. It felt like his world was spinning. His feet were lifted off the ground his stomach was turning upside down and, with a huge squelch he thought he was going to vomit as tears sprang to his eyes then ding!!! They were on the ground floor.
Naruto looked up at Sasuke.
" You know…you live here now...you had better get used to that." He said cheerfully rubbing the tears out of his little fox's eyes
Naruto scowled, slightly ashamed that he overreacted over such a minor thing. Backing up he grasped back onto Sasukes hand again. Sasuke pressed to button and for the third time the doors to the old elevator opened and Naruto took a breath or relief as he exited into the long hallway. They strolled through the empty long hallway together and turned a corner to the left to the lobby. Nobody was in there either,.
I guess" Naruto thought o himself " people who work here have enough sense not to go out when it's raining. And you'd think a frady cat like Sasuke wouldn't want to go out at the risk of another storm.
Sasuke pushed open the front door to the apartment building and Guided Naruto through into the humid cloudy sky.
It was still raining but just a little. Sasuke and Naruto walked over to Sasukes BMW and Naruto got into the Passenger seat, he had never been much of a driver. In fact he'd failed the exam three times and didn't even have a car to drive when he got it. Not to mention is easy motion sickness… Sasuke buckled Naruto into his seatbelt and then himself.
" Oh
great here we go…." Naruto thought to himself. Sasuke pulled out
his keys and started the engine to the BMW.
" Good thing it's
an automatic" he pulled the lever and the windshield wipers went
dizzily back and forth across the glass. Knocking water of each side.
Sasuke reversed out of his spot just in front of the door and they were off
" It'll be worth it once you get the ramen…right naru?"
" Yea…" he murmured back through clenched teeth
The apartment was about thirty or so minutes from Ramen shop and you had to use the free way to get there. Most other possible routes were blocked because lady Tsunade was having her gambling bar built, hoping to bring more fortune to konoha.
Sasuke took a sharp turn to the left , having almost missed it from watching Naruto, onto the freeway. Naruto felt his stomach turn with it.
The little fox leaned his head against the window focusing on the ongoing tree. Tree after tree after tree. They flew by so quickly. Eventually he decided that this may not be the smartest idea and closed his eyes. The vibration on his head from leaning against the side of the car wasn't very pleasant either, both for his stomach and the gash on his head.
Sasuke took notice at the little fox's discomfort. It made him so sad to see Naruto sad or uncomfortable. But, he knew that ramen always made everything better. With his eyes on the road and one hand on the steering wheel he reached over to Naruto and pulled the little fox over to lean on him. Naruto Gratefully fell onto the ravens shoulder burying his face in the raven's neck, and resting his arm across Sasukes broad chest, and breathing deeply.
10 minutes later
Naruto now had his head resting in Sasuke lap with his body sprawled over the clutch. Sasuke didn't want to wake him up though because hey, when you're asleep there's a less likely chance of him throwing up. They were almost there and only had about 10 more minutes to go to get to the ramen shop. Sasuke gently ran his fingers through the blonde's hair in his lap Naruto stirred slightly and peeked up at Sasuke through barely opened eyes. Sasuke was to busy concentrating on the road to notice though he was still subconsciously running his fingers through Narutos hair. Naruto liked it though and cuddled his face into Narutos abdomen.
" I know your awake Dobe. You're laying on the clutch you know...
How do you feel?" Sasuke asked returning both Hands to the wheel as Naruto sat up at last.
" Are we there yet…"
" Almost just a couple more minutes…"
Fortunately they went by rather quickly. Sasuke pulled to the left and onto an impossible looking turn off the freeway. They paused at a traffic light just outside of the Genin selection exams building and drove on when the light turned green, coming to a stop in front of a small shack that said in large letters on the front "Ichimaru Ramen". Sasuke pulled into a spot right in front of the door of the shack.
Naruto was thinking of all the good memories that the Ichimaru ramen shop brought back. All those good times when he was training with Jiraiya and when Iruka sensei treated him. He couldn't help but smile to himself. They got out of the car and with some assistance from Sasuke Naruto and the raven walked into the shop.
" Hey there Naruto! Haven't seen you around these parts nowadays. Good to see you! And is that….Uchiha? Uchiha Sasuke? Wow we don't get many people like you in here."
Naruto was greeted joyously as he walked up with Sasuke and sat down at the counter. He WAS the best customer after all for so many years.
" Hey how's it going chef. Good to see you too." Naruto said grinning from ear to ear "I haven't been feeling too good recently but yea I'm okay now! Sasuke just rolled his eyes and scowled. He hated being treated special.
" How are you Ayame?" Naruto went on acknowledging the pretty girl who was often seen accompanying the chef,
" Good" good she bowed cheerfully.
" How can we help you today?"
As Naruto gazed up at the signs over head, all the feeling of nausea that ad been crowding his stomach that day were swept away, as he breathed in the wonderful ramen smell of the shop. Trying to decide what he wanted.
"Hmm" Naruto thought to himself " Should I get the barbeque with lemon topping or the Butter noodles with fish…Oh so many choices!!!!"
" You know friend if you having some trouble making up your mind…" the chef whispered deviously to the gullible looking Naruto " you could just…get them all….I mean isn't it Uchiha who's paying?"
Naruto chuckled evilly smiling from ear to ear. The chef WAS right…Sasuke was paying.
" Ill be right back.."
Naruto turned violently ( especially for someone so sick) and grabbing Sasuke by the wrist pulled him into the restroom with him. Sasuke was too stunned to resist still a little pissed by the chef's statement earlier. Naruto was going to get Sasuke into a good mood which meant more ramen. Naruto came onto him so fast he pretty much slammed Sasuke onto the back wall of the one room Lavatory. Sasuke yelped.
"Naruto what are you doin-"
He was cut off as Naruto pressed his soft pink lips against Sasuke. And Sasuke couldn't resist he leaned in opening his mouth wide and bobbing his head from side to side. Working his tongue deep into Narutos mouth and breathing heavily as he fell into it. Naruto the pulled away.
" What the hell was that for?'
Naruto threw his arms up and locked them behind Sasuke neck, pressing his body close to the ravens. Sasuke rested his hands on Narutos waist with a quizzical look on his face.
"Well…"
" I don't know I just felt like it, I'm feeling better you know…" Naruto said looking up his blue eyes sparkling mysteriously
" Well let's go order…" Sasuke said trying to duck underneath Narutos arms, he was acting very strange.
Naruto was trying to butter up Sasuke because the last time he and Sasuke had gone out to eat, the bill went well over 300$...all in ramen. And Sasuke wasn't happy. He dint even look at Naruto for over a week, and Naruto didn't want that again. But Sasuke wasn't stupid. He knew Naruto wanted something and well, they were in the bathroom of a ramen restaurant...it was obvious.
Naruto pinned Sasuke against the wall again looking up at him with puppy dog eyes.
" What is it you want already naru, just tell me…."
" Well, all the ramen I want will do…Please Sasuke I haven't had Ichimaru ramen for a long time and I've been sick and….can I get as much as I want?"
Sasuke glared at him and though to himself
" That's why he was trying to butter me up with that hot kiss, he wants more ramen. I knew it."
" Well what about on our way home wont you get sick?" he said aloud to Naruto
" Well Ill deal with it… Please sasu!! Trust me it wont be too much I just want more then one bowl or so….."
" Well he has been sick…and he DID just give me one of the best kisses of my life" Sasuke thought to himself and smiled
Naruto noticed '
" So is it a yes?"
"Yea whatever…but you know I don't have a new job yet so I'm not exactly rich so just please don't pig out…"
When the raven looked up, Naruto was already gone.
Sasuke walked out of the bathroom only to find Naruto Jabbering away with the chef putting in order after order. Sasuke walked over and leaned on the counter next to Naruto with his arms crossed, looking in the there direction.
Naruto already had three bowls in front of him and was alternating.
" Sasuke don't you want some?" he managed to say between mouthfuls of noodles
" Nope, I came here for you, just…err, enjoy."
" Suit yourself.." Naruto said
Wows were adults now and still, Narutos ramen eating habits sure haven't changed at all…Sasuke thought to himself. " He doesn't have energy to stand up but he sure does have some to eat"
" Whoa slow down there Naruto you're going to make yourself sick…" the chef advised looking quite astounded
1 hour and 30 minutes later
Naruto dropped the chopsticks in the bowl where they landed with a clank. Bowls upon bowls of all the different types of ramen they offered were sitting before him all empty. Sasuke had managed to squeeze in an order for one bowl for himself, but couldn't even manage to finish it. When Naruto finally put down the last bowl and looked up, there stood Ayame and chef. There Mouths agape and there eyes were staring at Naruto like he was 12 legged squid.
" He he.." Naruto said putting one hand behind his head " Guess I got a little carried away…"
Sasuke was so annoyed, he just stood there arms still crossed and a face that looked like it was cut in stone.
Chef shook his head to get himself out of his trance
" Umm well here's the bill…?" he held his hand out to Sasuke
Sasuke snatched it up quickly. Looking down his eyebrow twitched…
" WHAT THE Hell?"
" Naruto how does someone eat 475$ worth or ramen!!!!"
Naruto just sat there famished. Partially from eating to much and the rest from the angry look on Sasukes face. Sasukes angry hand shook as he pulled his credit card out of his pocket. He could see his future. He would have to declare Bankruptcy from the bank of Konoha if ramen bills like this keep piling up, and his credit was already sky rocketed from other debts.
Chef swiped the credit card, handed it back.
" Thank you a please please come again and maybe you can beat your ( now ) new record."
Sasuke glared at him . Naruto just looked sick.
" Have-Have a n-nice day…" Ayame said to Sasuke nervously.
Sasuke walked over to Naruto and stiffly picked him up bridal style in his arms and walked out of the shop. Boy was the Raven mad…
