Part 6: Detergent
It seemed, at least to a discerning mind, that for two men the five piles of dirty clothing and towels was perhaps a bit much. Sasuke couldn't help but think the same thing as he sat on the floor opposite the laundry room. He watched with blatant curiosity as the blond-haired man proceeded to grab a pile of lights and load them into the washer.
Naruto grabbed the yellow jug of detergent and with finesse of a man used to doing this a hundred times over proceeded to unscrew the lid and pour an indiscernible amount of liquid into the washing machine. Then capping it again, he slammed the lid down and set the various dials to his preference. Soon the sound of water filling the machine was heard and a satisfied grin crept onto his face.
Turning his attention to the dryer he grabbed the pile of wet darks off the top and placed it inside the round chamber. Then grabbing the lint trap he swiped his hand over it trying to catch every bit of fuzz on the first try, of course it didn't work so he had to go over it a few more times so only little bits of red and gray were stuck to the wire mesh. Placing it back in the slot he closed the door and cranked the dial.
His thumb ran along the shiny white surface of the dryer till it came to a round white button surrounded by a thin blue line. Pressing it, the machine it was attached to proceeded in drying the clothes. The grin spread wider and the man began to do something he rarely did, he began to whistle.
It was a light, cheerful tune that only seemed to come out when the kitsune was doing laundry. It fascinated Sasuke to no end the mere pleasure his lover seemed to get from simply doing a menial house chore. He watched as the man in question came over to him, almost hopping in his happiness. The man leaned over and gave him a soft peck on the cheek before continuing down the hallway, presumably to the kitchen, since it was getting near lunchtime.
Naruto's whistling had eventually turned into humming, still of the same tune as he examined the refrigerator in an effort to decide what on earth to make for lunch. "What are you in the mood for?" he called behind him, absentmindedly chewing on his thumbnail.
The dark haired Anbu pondered the question as he leaned against the doorway looking unintentionally sexy to his lover, He wore a pair of jeans that Naruto assumed he had, had forever judging from the two holes ripped in the knees. A pair of thick white socks adorned his feet and a dark pink t-shirt that hugged every muscle on his torso like a second skin.
A blush spread on his face and he quickly turned his head back to the box of cold air feeling very much like a sixteen year old with raging hormones. That could wait until after lunch then it would be no holds barred, hey he was allowed to act immature sometimes right? He decided to stop talking to himself when he felt a piercing stare on his back; he swore that his lover could read his mind sometimes.
Sasuke let off a flirtatious grin; his kitsune was wearing a pair of baggy jeans that rode lower than they were supposed to giving the man a glimpse of a well-toned stomach every time Naruto moved. Top that off with a very transparent white tank top along with a delicate silver chain necklace, why the man looked like a very delectable chocolate sundae with whipped cream, all for him.
Feeling particularly greedy at the moment he walked towards the unassuming blond man and gently placed his hands on his lover's hips. Naruto's head flew back and connected with the other man's slender chin, this in turn causing Sasuke to bite down, hard, on his lip.
One hand flew up to cover the bottom of his mouth as the dark haired shinobi winced with pain much to the kitsune's dismay. "Sasuke!" The man quickly grabbed a nearby dishtowel and ran it under the faucet for a few seconds. Then wringing it out he brought it over to the bleeding man who accepted it gratefully.
Placing the cool towel on his lip he suddenly caught the sound of laughter, his head coming up in surprise he watched with dismay as his lover proceeded to break out into a gale of laughter. Naruto couldn't help the laughter that bubbled out of his lips; it was just so ridiculous the thought of the Anbu being surprised at what in all simplicity was a head butt.
His body leaned against the counter for support as he was soon convulsing in silent laughter, tears sparkling in his unnaturally blue eyes. Sasuke watched him in shock, managing to retain just enough dignity not to let his mouth hang open, just enough. Other wise his eyes were wide and perhaps a bit frightened, he had never seen his lover laugh so hard or with so much abandonment.
Ever since the kitsune had turned sixteen, he had stopped being the obnoxious adolescent and little by little had let them into the inner personality. True now and then he got over excited over the smallest things but otherwise he was a well-adjusted adult who attracted many with his sunny personality. But he was always a bit on guard, it came with the occupation that was why it was such a surprise to see him let go like that.
A smile suddenly graced his split lip, how could he stay angry with his lover when it brought out the carefree childlike side that neither had really gotten to experience? If it cost him a sore chin and lip then so be it, he would suffer a lot more than that if he could bring such joy to his lover.
The kitsune finally managed to get his laughter under control and stood up, his body heaving as he sucked in as much air as possible. Eyeing the dark haired man suspiciously he took special note of the faraway look in his lover's eyes. With a grin he shook his head and walked over to the man.
Sasuke blinked in surprise as he suddenly found a very fox like face in his direct field of vision. His hand was yanked down and a pair of petal soft lips took the place of the white towel. "Stop thinking so much." came a mumble stament from the man who was currently ravishing his lips.
Lifting his arms up so he could drape them over the blonde's back he let a smirk find it's way to his mouth as the towel fell from his hand. "What about lunch?" he asked giving his lover the perfect opportunity to explore the inside of his mouth. His fingers weaved their way into the light golden locks of hair that had been taunting him all day.
A light chuckle of laughter and a pair of mischievously sparkling eyes were looking at him. "I've found something much better to do," he grinned and licked his lips "Much tastier too." Sasuke rolled his eyes and proceeded pull the man closer, placing a less than pure kiss atop his lips.
