Btw LuxaNilaPotter is one of my close friends from school! My sister says that I have corrupted her… Do you think I'm corrupting you all?
Anyway reviews:
Obito: Hey, am I on time?
*Glomped by sissy* (You should have seen her face when I started typing Obito)
*Sweat drop* ME: Almost on time… anyway!
Melikalilly: So totally happy that you like the story and the joke… and I recommend that you do not tell your mom that joke… I tried telling my mom… also blonde… she didn't really get the concept of a grenade and then I had to explain it…
imnotholly: I'm so glad you think my story is cute! And I will continue writing it!
NaruXSasuFan4Lyfe: Random is just who I am. And truth be told I can't wait for the next chapter either!
Sobubbles1: The sasunaru moments are my fav too! And I'm so glad you enjoy my writing!
Charlie Uzumaki: Sasuke's mom is probably one of my fav characters to write, because no one can accuse me of making her OOC because she is rarely mentioned.
bookwormqueen7: Thanks! And I'm updating!
xXallegedangelXx: When I read your review, I keeled over laughing! You sound almost exactly like me and now I want to try chocolate and mash potatoes! Randomness is just who I am… and I am updating!
PoeticNonsenseNinjaStyle: Just got to say I adore your name! And Ninja Squirrels!
ANYWAY… Story
Dedicated to the most amazing twin sister of all time, who told me to get off my ass and update for you guys. Who reads my chapters everyday, and gives me constructive criticism and deals with my craziness everyday, with little to no side effects, even though she just cussed out mine sweeper… So thank you sissy… and get your own account so you can write your own fanfics!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything!

"Oi Naruto, get in here!" His boss called from behind the glass the windows. Sasuke looked up from his post at the door to smirk at the blond.
"The universe is out to get me…" Naruto grumbled under his breath as he passed Sasuke. The both entered Starbucks. "Yea, I'm here, what do I need to do?" Naruto yelled out to his boss.
"Change your attitude." The older teen called back.
"I would but this bastard is royally screwing up my life." Naruto jabbed his thumb towards Sasuke, who just shrugged in response.
"He bothering you? Good job kid!" The older teen shook the Uchiha's hand. "The names Andrew, and torturing Naruto is my one of my favorite things to do!" Naruto gaped at his boss's behavior. 'Yep the universe is definitely out to get me'
"I just brought the dobe's lunch. Mom was upset you skipped out on breakfast, Na~ru~chan." Sasuke smirked at Naruto after practically singing his mom's new nickname for him. He handed him the lunch his mother had made especially for the blond.
"Oooooooooo… Na~ru~chan! I am so going to call him that now!" Andrew jumped in delight. Naruto's face fell and a dark storm cloud appeared above his head.
"GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!" Naruto yelled at Sasuke.
Smack. "NARU-CHAN! That is no way to speak to my new friend…"
"Sasuke." The Uchiha supplied.
"Sasuke. Now get behind the counter and act like a good little employee."
Naruto snatched the bag from Sasuke's hand and placed it in the back room. When he returned, Sasuke was waiting at the register.
"What are you still doing here?" Naruto growled through clenched teeth.
"Well I was hoping for a thank you and for a coffee, so are you going to help me out Naru-chan." Sasuke leaned across the counter.
"Sorry but I don't serve assholes."
Two girls outside were walking past when they spied the Uchiha. They ran towards the door and entered giggling and whispering. One reason why the Uchiha was gay, girls were just too annoying. "Come on Naru-chan… I just want a coffee and then I will be out of your hair." The girls giggled again. Three more had entered and joined the duo in staring at the Uchiha.
"Naru-chan… you're making me hold up the rest of the line." Sasuke leaned closer as he whispered into Naruto's ear. A blush dusted the blond's face when he spied the growing group of girls gathering in line.
"Fine. What do you want?"
"Javachip, hold the whip."
"Kay, tall… grande… what size?"
"Tall."
"Kay that will be 4.99" Sasuke payed the blonde, and went over to pick up his coffee from Andrew.
"So what can I get you girls?" The group and doubled and more were coming in to join their buddies.
"Can we have what he had?" Sasuke grabbed his coffee and sat in a booth near the window.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Sasuke was getting annoyed. He could feel each stare. Curse his Uchiha-hotness. Always attracting crazy girls. He glanced at the clock, it had been about 2 hours since he had entered the Starbucks. The tenth group of girls was finishing up their coffees and the eleventh group was at the counter ordering their drinks. He wondered when Naruto's shift was over.
Another employee entered the Starbucks and made his way through the crowded room towards the counter. Naruto went to the back room and came back with his sack lunch. Andrew followed him towards Sasuke. "Hey I need to talk to you guys outside." Andrew told them.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"So what's up Andrew?" Naruto asked.
"That was probably the busiest this Starbucks has ever been!"
"So?" Naruto questioned.
"So! Can you come everyday, Sasuke?" Andrew grinned.
"NO!" Naruto yelped.
"Wasn't asking for your opinion, Naru-chan." Andrew sneered. "So what do you say Sasuke?"
"What I just show up everday?" Naruto groaned.
"Yea I'll pay you minimum wage to just show up whenever Naruto's working and just wait for him!" Andrew grinned excitedly.
"No, no, no, no." Naruto chanted.
"Sure." Sasuke answered.
"OK! So just come whenever Naruto does! See ya later guys!"
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Naruto glared at the sandwich Sasuke's mom had made him.
"Dobe, there is no reason for you to take your anger out on the lunch my mom made you. Actually, there is no reason you to be angry at all. So why are you pissed?" They were sitting at a picnic table in the park, across from each other. Sasuke tried to look at Naruto in the eyes but the blond continued to stare at the sandwich. "Naru-chan?"
"Don't call me that." Naruto whispered.
"What?"
"I said, DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Naruto shouted finally glaring at the Uchiha. "You always ruin everything! I go to school and you're there with a 4.9 GPA, or something. I try out for sports and I'm the best until you show me up! I get my own job and my boss is now just going to pay you to show up during my shift! The only time you leave me alone is when I'm at home, but now your mother wants me to live with you! And how can I say no to one of the only people, who actually accept me? She should call me whatever the hell she wants but you can't, you BASTARD!"
"Why the hell are you so pissed? I haven't done anything!"
"I don't know! Which just frustrates me even more! Just give me some effin space!" Naruto stormed off with out another word, leaving Sasuke in the dark. Wanting to be as far away from Sasuke he could get, sprinting to the place where he felt most at home. Sasuke would never know where he was going.
'It's too bad, no challenge here. I already know where he's headed.' Sasuke smirked to himself.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Iruka's door stood wide open, while he gaped at the scene in front of him.
Iruka, Sasuke, and Kakashi were laughing it up, sipping tea. 'What the…'
"Hey Naruto, Sasuke told me to expect your visit." Iruka smiled at the surprised blond. "Kakashi decided to visit as well, so I made some tea… Naruto?" Iruka searched Naruto's eyes, confused at what he saw.
Naruto shuddered with pent up rage, "You… YOU…"
"Naruto, are you ok?" Iruka put down his tea, and slowly stood.
"YOU! CONVERSING WITH THE ENEMY!" Naruto pointedly stared at Sasuske.
Sasuke sat down his tea also. "Oh Naru-chan I'm hurt. I'm the enemy?" He feigned sincerity, while Kakashi continued to sip his tea.
"NEVER MIND, FORGET I CAME!" Naruto stormed back out of the house with Iruka and Sasuke in tow.
"Naruto, obliviously you are upset. Why don't you come inside and calm down, so we can talk about it. I'm sure Sasuke and Kakashi won't mind leaving." Iruka caught up with him and turned him around to face him.
"OR I CAN JUST LEAVE!"
"Or you can solve your problems with Sasuke somewhere else, and I can finish talking with Iruka." Kakashi appeared behind Naruto.
"Kakashi you are not helping." Iruka hissed.
"No, Kakashi is right. I'll take Naruto, and we will get out of your hair." Sasuke stepped forward.
"If you think I'm going anywhere with you, you are sadly mistaken!" Naruto spat at Sasuke, while Iruka held him back.
"Iruka, let him go." Kakashi spoke.
"What the hell are you thinking? He is either going to run off to destroy something or murder Sasuke!" Iruka shouted back.
"I think Sasuke can handle it." Kakashi stated.
Iruka released Naruto with a sigh, the thoroughly ticked off blond charged at the Uchiha. Sasuke, quick as lightning, pinched Naruto's pressure point in his neck; the blond crumpled to the ground at Sasuke's feet. The Uchiha picked up Naruto bridal style and nodded his goodbyes to Kakashi and Iruka. Iruka looked worriedly after the duo as Kakashi placed his hand on Iruka's shoulder. "He's going to be fine. After all, it was your plan. Sasuke knocking Naruto out as a way to calm him, so they could settle this argument peacefully."
"It still doesn't feel right. I feel like I have betrayed Naruto's trust." Iruka whispered.
"What were they arguing over anyway?"
"No clue… More importantly, why are you here?" Iruka turned around to face Kakashi. The silver-haired man chuckled softly, brushing Iruka's hair back. Surprised Iruka took a step back only to trip over the uneven cement, but before he could fall Kakashi grabbed his arm and pulled him back… way too close for Iruka's comfort. Iruka stared down at his feet blushing.
"Iruka, do you know how adorable you are when you are embarrassed? As to why I'm here, I wanted know if you would like to chaperone a field trip I am planning?"
"I-uh-I…" Iruka couldn't think straight due to the close proximity. His blushed deepened and spread to the rest of his face.
"Iruka, you are looking a bit flushed. Do you have a fever?" Kakashi placed his hand on Iruka's forehead. Iruka finally awoke from his daze and smacked Kakashi hand away from his face. He took a couple of steps back, minding the uneven cement, so he would not trip again.
"I'm perfectly fine Kakashi. Who else will be chaperoning the field trip?"
"I will be asking Asuma, Kurenai, Haku, and Zabuza. Does being alone with me frighten you Iruka?"
"That's absurd Kakashi. I just didn't think we would be able to manage your high-energy troublemakers, by ourselves." Iruka backed up to his house, hoping to make a break for it, but Kakashi kept the same space between them, simultaneously taking a step for each step Iruka took. Until he felt his closed front door stop his movements, and Kakashi placed his arms on either side of Iruka's head. Leaning close enough to touch foreheads, Kakashi finally spoke.
"Why is Iruka retreating if I don't frighten him?"
"I'm not retreating… I… was… just… going… back inside to clean up."
"I could help, Iruka."
"No!" He yelled quickly, then stammered out, "I wouldn't want to trouble you, I'm sure you have other things to do."
"It wouldn't be trouble. I want to help." Kakashi whispered.
"No that's fine…" Iruka ducked out from under Kakashi's arms and opened his front door. "but… thanks for the offer. I guess I'll help you with chaperone, so I'll see you at the school." Iruka peered through the door, hoping Kakashi would leave.
"Ok. Thanks Iruka!" Kakashi flashed his signature smile that no one could really see behind his mask. He lolled his way back towards his house, wondering what he had done to make Iruka so jumpy.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"…'s cold…" Naruto whispered in his sleep. He reached for the closest thing and clutched it tightly. He snuggled closer to the warmth beside him.
"Naruto, do you want to talk about why you were so pissed?" A voice spoke out.
"No… jus wanna sleep." Naruto whispered back. His eyes flutter open, and saw Sasuke looking at him, genuinely smiling down at him. He realized that what he was clutching was the cloth of Sasuke's shirt and immediately let go. Trying to get farther away from Sasuke, after all he was still slightly peeved.
"Stop squirming. Do you want me to drop you?" Sasuke scolded.
Naruto finally recognized that his rival, recently turned friend, was carrying him, bridal style! A blush danced across Naruto's face. "You can put me down."
"As I recall you, 'jus wanna sleep', isn't that right?" Sasuke smirked down at the blond. "So either you go back to sleep or we talk about what just happened."
"Fine, let's talk about it." Naruto squirmed again but Sasuke's arms tightened around him. "Put me down, Sasuke." Naruto said sternly.
"Hmmm, I don't think so, you'll probably run off as soon as I do. I don't want to chase you down again." Sasuke stated.
"Bastard, put me down right now!"
"Are you going to run off?"
"No…"
"Naruto…"
"Fine I won't run off, will you put me down now?"
"…"
"Pleeease~"
Sasuke let Naruto's legs fall, but continued to hold Naruto's back and arms, because Naruto could not seem to steady himself. With each step he took, his balance wavered. "Why don't I give you a piggy back ride and we can talk?" Sasuke suggested.
"No, I can walk perfectly fine." Naruto grumbled.
"Really?" Sasuke let go of Naruto, and Naruto staggered forward unable to catch himself. He could almost fell the face plant but something caught him. Sasuke had grabbed his shoulders before he collided with the ground. "Yes because that was perfect. Naruto, it's not going to hurt you for me to carry you to my house." Sasuke chuckled.
"…fine…" Naruto whispered.
Sasuke walked around in front of him, and kneeled down. Naruto slumped onto his back and Sasuke grabbed his thighs and lifted him up out his back. "You're really light you know? How can you eat so much garbage and still way so little?" Sasuke joked.
"That's one of the reasons I'm pissed." Naruto playfully smacked Sasuke's shoulder.
"What is?"
"You're always making fun of me. Whether it is my grades, my ability to participate in sports, or what I eat, you always criticize me." Naruto whispered.
"Oh."
"Yea…"
Sasuke walked in silence, and it was bugging Naruto. "Well?" Naruto asked slightly annoyed.
"Well what?"
"Why do you do that?"
"I don't really know. Maybe because you always want to be better than me, and since I can't exactly cheer my quote- unquote rival on, I criticize you to show my support. I know that you can do better, of course not better than me, but better." Sasuke smirked over his shoulder.
"You're such an ass."
"That hurts coming from you Naruto. And if you don't mind me asking why do you not want people to call you Naru-chan?"
Naruto shook his head against Sasuke's neck. He brought his chin down on to the shoulder Sasuke wasn't looking over.
"So you don't want to talk about it?"
Naruto sighed, "Not really, no."
"Fine I won't press for more. So, besides me criticizing you and calling you Naru-chan, what else pissed you off?"
"I don't know… This… our new relationship confuses me… and I guess that pissed me off too. I mean I thought you hated me, but now we're kinda sorta not really friends. And your mother wants me to move in with you, but I don't know if my parents would approve."
"Well we can sort out our 'new relationship' when we get back to my house. Why don't I have my mom call your parents and see if it's ok with them?"
"That would be helpful, but my parents are in America right now for business and since I didn't want to leave they are allowing for me to stay in our house with my perverted god-father."
"Perverted?"
"Yea you know those books Kakashi always reads?"
"Yea…"
"He wrote them, or something, and he tried to force me to read them over…"
"Ok that is perverted…Did you actually read them?"
"Hell NO! That's sick! I hid in my room playing videogames until my mom came home, and I told on him." Naruto grinned.
"You… told on him?"
"It was the first one, and I was like five at the time. Sue me."
"So, how do you contact your parents if they are in America?"
"Well, I email them sometimes, and they call me every Friday."
"Why don't you move in with us until your parents come back, that way you won't have to stay with your perverted god-father?"
"I still have to have their permission Sasuke, don't forget my parents don't know your parents."
"I wouldn't say they don't know each other, I mean, they used to meet up every weekend when we were like babies or something."
"WHAT!"
"Yea, apparently our mothers were best friends growing up, and when your mother was dating your father, they introduced her to your father's best friend who turned out to be my father. They were like each other's Maids of Honor and Best Mans…you didn't know?"
"I sorta recall hearing something like that… but it seemed boring at the time."
"Yes, well anyway, you moved away remember, but our parents kept in touch. And then you moved back, and our parents started talking about how we were going to be best friends again… but that didn't turn out so well if you remember our first day of school, and they didn't want to force you into a friendship. So your parents and my parents would go out for coffee, or something every once in a while."
"How do you know all this?"
"I went with them for coffee…along with Itachi, and unlike you I can pay attention." Sasuke felt Naruto place his forehead on Sasuke's neck, and Sasuke began to blush. (A/N Uchiha blush! Someone take a picture!)
"I never knew." Naruto whispered. "Hey Sasuke, if we had never moved away, do you think we would have been friends? I bet you weren't this conceited as a child!" Naruto grinned.
"Yea, I guess we would've. But aren't we friends now? Wait, Naruto, hold on tight." Naruto's grip tightened around Sasuke's neck and Sasuke let go of one of his legs to open the door to his house. He gently grabbed the leg again but Naruto kept his tightened grip. "Oi, Naruto, we're home. You can get off."
"I'm tired, can't you carry me to your room?" Naruto whined.
"I guess. Oh, wait, I have to talk to my mom, why don't I leave you in the living room and take you to my room afterwards?"
"That's fine." Sasuke placed Naruto on the couch and went off to search for his mom.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Ok. Ok. Yes, I'm so happy Kushina, can you believe they are actually friends now?" Sasuke patiently waited for his mother to finish her phone call. "Don't worry everything will be fine, tell Minato I say hello… Yes I'll see you soon, goodbye."
"Sasuke! Great news, Naru-chan will be able to stay with us until his parents get back! Isn't that just wonderful?" Mikoto jumped up and down excitedly.
"That's great. Now I don't have to ask you to convince his mother to let him stay." Sasuke smirked. "How are you always one step ahead, mom?"
"You have to be one step ahead when you're married to an Uchiha, now where is Naru-chan I need to tell him."
O0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Naru-chan's so cute when he is sleeping." Yes, in the little time Sasuke had left him alone, Naruto had fallen asleep. Mikoto ruffled the sleeping teen's hair and turned to her son. "Why don't you take him to your room, Sasuke? I don't want to wake him, and we can tell him the good news in the morning." Mikoto smiled at her son as he gently picked the blond up. She saw a new emotion flash in his eyes as he carried Naruto away, "Sasuke, don't hurt him."
"It's ok mom, I'm not going to drop him."
"You know that's not what I meant." Mikoto smiled at the two teens. "Good night Sasuke, I love you."
Sasuke continued to climb the stairs (A/N They are still at the town house… so no rope ladders!) left alone with his thoughts he opened his door and shuffled inside. He laid Naruto down on the bed and took off his shoes. He pulled the covers down and pulled them back over Naruto before changing into pajamas and crawling in beside the blond. "Good night Naruto." He whispered and fell asleep.

NAHHHHHHHH! I'm done!
… not really sure what I should say since I said a lot in the beginning…so
*runs off leaving sissy alone with Obito*
… hey, this is the author's sister, otherwise known as Sissy.
When my sister usually writes, I get to read over her shoulder while she's writing, but today was different because like the rest of you I had to wait until she was completely finished to read it. I didn't really care for the change, but I got to read a lot all at once instead of one sentence at a time spread over six hours… I usually proofread while she writes, so if you catch any mistakes, it's my fault… anyway you would not believe the amount of mistakes she makes. There's one mistake a couple of chapters back that reads in tack (I wasn't there to proofread) when she meant intact. Later I asked her 'how do you spell intact?' She said 'E-N-T-A-C-T. See… I can spell correctly, I think.'. This chapter it describes Naruto 'slumped', but she wrote slumpled. My new favorite word, make up your own definition if you read this chapter, if it's funny and both me and the author like it, I'll force her to include it in a later chapter…
I hoped you all enjoyed the chapter.
Now review.
Obito: I don't even know why I come anymore, all I do is get hugged, and then just hang around.
Author's Sister: It doesn't matter, what did you think of the chapter?
Obito: Me?... I thought it was-
Author's Sister: Oh Obito, I'm sorry, we don't have any time left, you have to go on a mission where your friend ends up losing an eye, a rock falls on you, you give up your sharingan, and then you die.
Obito: You don't have to keep bringing it up! Everybody already knew that! And it's already happened! I don't have to keep doing that all over again!
Author's Sister: I know… its just so sad *cries*… don't worry Obito, I'll always be here for you….
Obito: I don't want you to be there for me, leave me alone!
Author's sister: Wait for me!
Author *sneaks back in* … That was interesting… Anyway… Totally going to go to sleep now I hope you enjoyed the chapter and keep reading!
Author's Sissy": I hope you all know… she just tried to spell enjoyed, 'enjoeyed' but it autocorrected her. That's how bad it gets…
Author: I'm tired leave me alone!
