Normally when Sasuke arrives home from training or a mission, there's a blond bundle of energy that greets him. Today isn't one of those days.

In fact, the moment he slides the door open, the house is dark and quiet—too quiet.

As soon as he slides his sandals off, he's wandering down the hallway with caution. Perhaps Naruto headed out for the day?

He enters the kitchen to check for a note but there is none, so he heads towards the bedroom—

-and that's where he finds him.

Naruto is curled up on the bed, the blinds drawn to darken the room. He has a hand curled over his eyes and it's evident from his breathing that he's not asleep.

"Naruto?" Sasuke enters the room and gently sits on the mattress. "You okay?"

The blond groans. "Head hurts. Everything is too loud, too bright."

"Have you been drinking with Jiraiya again?"

He snorts. "I wish it was a hangover, but no. It started a little while ago."

Sasuke reached over and gently started to massage his temples. "Relax dobe, I'm right here."

Naruto opened his eyes a small crack and smiled before closing them again. "Thanks, teme."
