A/N: sorry fellow readers I realized I wrote a double shower scheme for Naruto so I had to edit it again. Sorry to those who already already read it and got an email notification.
Chapter 12: The little things
The sun peeked in through the window and the young blond groaned it was morning. 'To soon' he thought. He felt his body shiver in the lack of warmth from a certain raven haired man. He extended his arm searching for a warm body to snuggle up to but his left side was empty. Naruto opened his eyes and sat up wincing slightly at the soreness.
"Sasuke…" he called out and waited for a response. All he heard was his furniture creak and his refrigerator humming. He sighed and stretched the kinks out of his neck. His bed was very comfortable compared to the one he's been sleeping on for years. He looked around his room an appreciated the room for once it had felt warm and inviting. Thanks to Sasuke of course. He stood up and headed into the shower to wash off the grogginess amongst other things.
Once he was out of the shower he noticed a note folded neatly on his end table. He walked over drying his hair with the towel and unfolded the note. Wow Sasuke had really nice handwriting.
Naruto,
Sorry I had to leave so soon. I really wanted to wake up by you but I had an emergency at work.
I wrote you a check for 5,000 dollars and before your mind wanders it wasn't for that amazing peep show. It's for you to go shopping for some much needed new clothes. I looked inside your closet and saw that all you have is those horrendous orange things you call shirts and faded ripped jeans. You deserve the best Naruto and I'm willing to give it to you. So spend away and I'll see you soon. By the way try not to buy too much orange dobe.
-Sasuke
P.S you look very cute when you're sleeping.
Naruto read the note and felt his stomach flop. He couldn't believe Sasuke was doing all of this for him. He was a nobody in the world. He had no job, at the moment no classes, no fancy cars or a nice home so why did Sasuke even bother to stick around. You deserve the best Naruto reread this over and over again. Did Sasuke really believe he deserved the best? Of course he did why else would he buy him things that he needed. 'Maybe he's doing this because of what I did for him yesterday' Naruto sighed. 'No it wasn't for that peep show. He said it was for me to buy new clothes so if Sasuke said it was for the clothes it's for the clothes. I trust Sasuke. Yeah I trust him.' Naruto walked towards his closet and looked for some clothes to dress himself with. It was only then that he realized that he really did need a new wardrobe.
He thought about had only met Sasuke a month ago and he felt as if they'd know each other for years. When they were together everything felt so natural even though at times things still got awkward. Naruto didn't regret anything anymore and he didn't feel as guilty anymore either. Sasuke stuck around even after the sex had happened. He didn't leave him alone or when they were finished having sex Sasuke didn't get up and say "ok thanks see you next time I feel like having sex with you oh and by the way here is some money for your services." Sasuke never made him feel like a cheap whore and he was thankful.
He was thinking too much. He was finally going to buy some much needed new clothes. Today was going to be a good day.
He walked past a thrift shop and sighed, for the last couple of years he would buy his clothes from the local thrift store but finally today he was going to be able to afford a new wardrobe. He was so excited. He'd go to the mall when he had a little free time when he used to work at the warehouse and just window shop. He would see clothes that he liked but couldn't afford but now he would be able to get anything he wanted.
Once he got to the mall he went into Old Navy and looked around. He walked around and picked up a 5 pairs of denim jeans, 3 blue and 2 black. He looked into the mirror inside the fitting room. These jeans looked great on him. They hung loosely on hips but that was ok it actually looked better that way anyways. His jeans weren't baggy at his legs so that was also a plus. He stepped out of the dressing room and looked around for some shirts. He only bought 3 shirts from the store. He went wondered the mall and went inside Macy's. He was thinking about buying himself and Sasuke cologne.
"Hello sir my name is Audra do you need any help or were you just looking?" said the sales woman. Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Oh I'm just looking thank you, but if I need anything I'll be glad to call you over." He smiled.
"Alright, I'll be over by the entrance if you need me."
Naruto nodded and the sales woman turned and left. He looked around the displays and saw all the different men's cologne. He smelled many, some smelled very lovely, others were smelled ok and a few were plain bad. Finally the last one that he smelled automatically made him think of Sasuke. 'Wow this one smells really good. I wonder if Sasuke would like it.' He went and looked around for the women named Audra they locked eyes and as if knowing what he was going to ask she walked over to him.
"Did you find something you liked?"
"Yes this one smells lovely I would like to purchase it please." Naruto showed her which one he wanted.
"Great choice, Giorgio Armani makes great cologne for men and Armani code happens to be my favorite. I myself got this for my boyfriend." She smiled taking out the black box from the display.
"Yes it's an awesome fragrance." He took the offered box from her hands and smiled at her. He really hoped Sasuke liked it.
"Thanks you miss." He waved at her and walked towards the clothes once he purchased the cologne. He bought a few button up shirts from here they had a very nice selection and he also bought a couple of sweaters since it was starting to get chilly. He paid and headed to another store. He wanted to buy a new pair of shoes. His orange converse were starting to fall apart. So he was looking forward to getting at least 3 pairs.
He walking into shoe store and browsed. He didn't really care for shoes. So he just bought another pair of orange converse and 2 pairs of casual lace-up dress shoes.
He roamed around the mall for 3 hours and he had just about enough of his little shopping spree. He had bought a bunch of clothes his hands were full of bags from different clothing stores. He was getting tired. He figured he had enough anyways so he headed towards the mall exit. He walked towards the stop and waited for his bus. 'Hmm I don't think I spent everything so I will use this to pay next month's rent. Thanks Sasuke you've been really helping me out with all my bills and rent. Last month was heaven without that old greedy landlord on my back and this month I wouldn't have to worry either' He really was glad October was just around the corner. He was glad that he wouldn't have to stress on his birthday like last year. He was brought out of his thoughts when he felt his phone buzz. He reached in and saw that he had a voice mail from the raven.
Dobe where are you? Call me when you hear this.
"Hey teme what's up?"
"Where are you dobe, I called you like 5 times and you didn't answer."
That was a lie. He only saw one missed call from the teme. He rolled his eyes and smiled.
"Teme your being such a drama queen hehe and I'm just here waiting for the bus."
"Why didn't you call me I would gladly give you a ride." Sasuke said.
"I didn't want to bother you. " Naruto didn't mind waiting for the bus and he really didn't want to bother Sasuke. He didn't want to depend on Sasuke. He was an independent person and he'd like to keep it that way.
"Hn. Dobe. I told you if you needed anything all you have to do is call and I meant that."
Naruto could tell Sasuke was being sincere with him. He'd never felt so special before. He blushed slightly glad that the Uchiha couldn't see him.
"Dobe have you eaten yet."
"No not yet."
"Ok I'm on my way I'll be there in 15 minutes."
The young man told him where he was and then he hung up his cell. He waited for Sasuke to show and like the raven haired man had said he was there in 15 minutes. He hopped into the car and they were on their way.
They ordered take out and headed to the park. They looked for a table under the evening sun and sat down.
"Hey Sasuke, how did you end up making a profile on the site?"
Sasuke just raised a dark brow and looked at the blond. Then he chuckled.
"I saw your picture and curiosity got the better of me." Sasuke was being honest he was curious as to who the blue eyed bright young man was.
"What made you curious?" Naruto asked genuinely interested.
"Well as corny and cliché as it sounds it was your eyes. They were the bluest eyes I'd ever seen and then your smile though it was a goofy smile it was alluring then it was your hair and then your whisker like scars."
Sasuke saw the way Naruto's eyes light up at response and when he had mentioned his whisker like marks his eyes fell and his hand rubbed his cheeks. He assumed Naruto was a little insecure about this and saw it as a flaw. But to Sasuke it was something unique about the young man that he liked.
"Oh… well I'm glad you saw my picture." Naruto smiled that charming bright smile.
"What about you?" Sasuke asked looking at Naruto.
Naruto just looked away and scratched the back of his head nervously.
"Well honestly it was boredom and a little bit of curiosity. I just told myself 'Why the hell not' and made a profile but then I started to regret it when I was on the chat thingy all I got was perverts. I also met this guy named Kiba he's really cool though and a pervert," Naruto saw a flash of something in those dark eyes when he mentioned Kiba. "But he respects me and he's straight so don't worry teme." He poked at Sasuke's ribs playfully and Sasuke instantly relaxed as he further explained.
"Hey teme you want to go swing?" The blonde looked toward the empty playground it was already 8 p.m. and the park was near empty.
"Hn." Was all Sasuke said.
They both walked towards the swings. Naruto sat on the swing and began to push himself. He always loved the swings. He felt a sense of freedom when he felt the air in his face. He laughed and noticed that Sasuke wasn't next to him. So he straightened his legs and stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Sasuke just looked at the man.
"Hn. I don't like it when sand gets into my shoes." Sasuke was serious and he felt a little offended when Naruto burst out laughing.
"A-are you s-serious haha? That's the best part. Come on stop being such a tight ass and get over here."
The raven just sighed and swallowed his pride. It couldn't be that bad right.
Well it wasn't bad but the feeling was annoying but it was worth it. Naruto laughed and smiled which made the terrible feeling in his feet nonexistent.
They both swung and jumped off. Then they would push each other roughly so the other couldn't get up.
Sasuke for the first time in his life was enjoying the company of someone else and it was the best feeling. All his life he'd but up a wall and reject everyone who stepped foot into his personal bubble. He knew people were only interested in his looks and money. But with Naruto it was different he felt alive for the first time in his life.
"Hey it's getting late we should get going." Naruto said looking at his cell. It was already 10.
Sasuke said nothing and they both began to walk towards the black vehicle.
Once in the car the raven noticed that Naruto was reaching for a bag and pulled out something.
"I almost forgot. I bought you something." He pushed the black box into Sasuke's hand.
Sasuke took it and saw that it was a perfume. He opened the box and smelled the fragrance.
"Thank you it smells nice."
"Mhm when I smelled it made me think of you. I hope you like it."
"I do thank you Naruto."
Sasuke leaned over and cupped Naruto's cheek and took his lips into his. It was a gentle kiss. He pulled away and instantly regretted it.
"My place or yours I don't feel like being alone tonight."
Naruto blushed slightly and decided on the latter.
They pulled out of the parking space and headed to Sasuke's. He looked out the window feeling content with how the day turned out. It was such a fun day and it would be forever engraved into his memory.
