Drabble. Implied shounen-ai, you've been warned. Probably OOC. Sinful sucks at writing. Leave a comment?
I disclaim.

One of the bases of being a shinobi is the ability to see underneath the underneath. Supposedly, it's not hard. Sasuke's supposed to know it, Naruto understands; but even the simplicity of it can be rendered difficult for them when it concerns each other.
"Oi, dobe. What's taking so long?"
"Hey! Didn't anyone teach you how to knock before entering, bastard!"
Sasuke spares him an amused smirk with that tiny hint of smugness only he can master as he strolls leisurely into Naruto's apartment. Kinda like a lazy cat, Naruto thinks. The bastard.
"At least I can handle putting on clothes, usuratonkachi."
Naruto glares, both at Sasuke and the zipper to his bright orange jacket, which refuses to move. The blonde tugged on the little tag again, muttering in frustration as the silver teeth jam together. "Shut up, it's not my fa—eh!"
Sasuke guides Naruto's hands, unzipping his jacket and aligning the edges, slowly pulling the zipper up smoothly. For a second, irrational thoughts flies into the blonde's head, thoughts he shouldn't have (not in front of him, anyway), and a blush springs to his face as he scowls and jerks away. "Bastard! I can take care of myself!"
Smirk. "Yeah. Sure." His pale fingers, resting on Naruto's shoulder, slowly slides down his arm and pulls away, leaving the faintest lingering feeling shivering on his skin, even through the thick neon material. "Let's go. We're late."
Naruto glares, aggravated, and stomps his foot childishly. Sasuke's glad he can't see the twitch in his face threatening to pull into a smile.
I just don't get him, Naruto huffs. Always has to act cool, asshole. I just wish…
…I could tell him, Sasuke muses. I could. And then Pride steps in and he moves away, shoving his hands in his pockets. …I won't.
Naruto's no good at expressing himself. Many doubt that Sasuke understands the concept of speaking. It doesn't make a difference.
"Wait up, teme!"
Actions do, after all, speak louder then words.
