This is a one-shot SasuNaru ficlet I wrote in response to a challenge in a LJ community I'm a member of. The challenge was to write a SasuNaru fic including music...and this is what I wrote. I used the lyrics from "ROCKS" because...I just felt like it.
R&R appreciated. Flames will be ignored. Enjoy.

Naruto liked to sing in the shower.
Being Konoha's number one hyperactive loud ninja, it went without saying that his musical stylings were, well...loud. So loud, in fact, that a certain Uchiha had no need for an alarm clock, as he could expect to be awakened by the vigorous singing of whatever song Naruto happened to prefer that week.
The two jounins had a habit of waking up, having breakfast together, and then putting in some early morning training before going to receive their missions. Without fail, the sun would rise, Naruto would bound out of bed with a level of energy that the morning-hating Uchiha deemed "obscene", and parade towards the bathroom in all his naked glory while Sasuke buried his head under the pillow and tried to pretend it was still nighttime.
Of course, as soon as the hot water started flowing in the adjoining bathroom, it was all over.
Come on!
owareru youni isoi de iru
kawai ta mune ga kari tateru no sa
hito kiwa tsuyoku kagayaku hoshi wa
ima mo tooku ni aru
ushinatte yuku motome nagara
ubawa rete yuku atae nagara
dare no tame de naku dare no mono de naku
ore tachi no ima ga
Hmmm, new song...at least he's finally off that Minimoni kick. That was just disturbing. An 18 year old man should NOT be singing "Strawberry Pie" at the top of his lungs at the crack of dawn. It's just wrong.
Sasuke grumbled and rolled over in the bed, clamping his hands over his ears.
Then again, I don't think there's ever really an appropriate time for a grown man to sing Minimoni songs.
With a sigh, the dark haired shinobi got out of bed, yawning as he made it up sloppily. No one ever really entered the bedroom that they shared, but Sasuke insisted on keeping it at least marginally tidy. It was one of many compromises the two ninjas had made when they had finally decided to move in together. It had been almost a year, and while he'd never admit it, Sasuke was happier than he had ever been in his entire life.
Not that he'd ever let the dobe know that.
Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Sasuke ambled towards the bathroom, wincing slightly as Naruto launched into the next verse of his song.
omoi kasane yume o kasane hibi o kasane ase ni mamire namida korae chi o tagi rase
The mirror was already fogged over, but the Uchiha didn't need it to know that his hair was rumpled and his ebony eyes were bleary with sleep. A careless hand wiped away the condensation so that he could shave and brush his teeth, and then Sasuke pulled aside the shower curtain to get started on the next part of the morning ritual.
And people wondered why Naruto was always smiling when he reported in to receive his orders.
