Chapter Two

"So where're you guys headed?" Ino looked to Sasuke and Naruto, holding the blonde's hand. It was almost 11:00pm, and the streets of Konoha Village were deserted.

Naruto smiled, winking at Sasuke, who just rolled his eyes. "To my place; why?"

Sasuke interrupted; "I think you mean Kakashi's place."

It was true, Naruto did live Kakashi, and with Iruka for that matter, but why Sasuke had to bring that up confused Naruto.

"Whatever. But you girls want to stay over? I'm sure Kakashi wouldn't mind. And it's not as if they'll notice anyhow…" Naruto looked up to their apartment building. It was a moss green sort of color, and had dingy little windows. It wasn't much, but to Naruto, it was everything.

"Sure!" Sakura said, happy to see her old sensei. The pink haired girl looked over to her female companion, "You want to, right? 'Cuz if you don't…" she trailed off, moving closer to Sasuke as the wind picked up. Ino nodded, holding her yellow bag and dreaded black box closer to her.

"Wait," Sakura looked at Ino, "We need stuff to wear. I can't just wear something of Naruto's…"

"Don't worry. Ino has some pajamas' in my room. And you can wear Sasuke's clothes!" Sasuke glared at the boy. 'What right did he have to offer my clothing to her?' But Naruto just grinned, pulling Ino by the hand into the apartment building, leaving Sasuke and Sakura in the cold. Sasuke shrugged, walking to the door and going inside, Sakura tagging along behind him, attached to his sleeve. Naruto laughed, looking down at them from the stairs.
"What so funny Naruto-kun?" Sakura looked at him, noting the way Ino looked at her.

"Oh nothing. C'mon! It's getting cold and Kakashi will be mad if we're loud!" Naruto took Ino's hand again, hurrying up the stairs.

"Loud!" Sakura yelled up, "You're the loudest of us all!" She ran up the stairs, trying to catch up, and Sasuke mounted the stairs at his own leisure.

Kakashi looked at them all from the doorway. "You're all rather loud, Sakura-chan; and late." He gave Naruto a chastising look and turned to Ino.

"Good evening Ino. Happy birthday." He wasn't too enthusiastic, and nodded, going back inside to continue his reading of Ichya Ichya Paradise. Iruka glanced at them from the couch.

"It's about time! Its 11:30pm you know. I thought I told you 10:00pm was curfew." He was lighthearted, but still made his point.

"Aw, c'mon Iruka! It's Friday night! And it's Ino's birthday. Let it go, just this once?" Naruto whined, walking into their dwelling. Iruka sighed, getting up.

"Fine. Just this once. But just for Ino-chan." He smiled wearily, ruffling Naruto's hair.
"Be good. And don't make too much noise, kay? There are extra blankets in the closet." With that he disappeared, along with Kakashi, into their room.

"'Don't make too much noise'? What is that supposed to mean?" Ino looked at Naruto, who just smiled and shrugged.

Sakura walked in, and sighed, having run up the stairs. Ino looked over at her, and smiled. She was so pretty, with the light dancing across her face.

"What are we gunna do then?" Sakura pushed a bang out of her face, and went to go stand with Ino. Sasuke strode in, the door shutting behind him. He drew a blank, turning to look over Naruto, mainly out of habit.

"Oi!" Naruto's voice broke into his thoughts, "No dirty thoughts, Sasuke!" Naruto blushed despite himself, and turned, pouting. Ino just giggled, and Sakura sighed.

"Sasuke, you're horny already?" Sasuke looked at her, blinking.

"No. And if that were any of your business… you would have known that." He walked past them, opening the closet to pull out a blank blanket. He threw it onto the couch, landing on top of it himself a few moments later. Naruto watched him for a bit, and then turned to the females.

"Oh, lemme get you guys something to wear, ne?" He left for his room. Sakura sat down in a chair, Ino still standing.

"So…." Sakura looked around, fidgeting in her seat. Sasuke opened one eye, looking at the two.

"So?" He raised an eyebrow, waiting for an answer.

"What do we do? I- uh, what do you guys do when you're over here?" She shivered, 'Damn, it's cold in here. Why do Iruka and Kakashi keep it like this?' Naruto seemed to have noticed, as he was coming back, and threw a sweater at her.

"Oof! Naruto! Why'd you have to throw it?" Sakura looked over the large sweater. It was orange. Go figure.

"Oh waa, Sakura. Put it on. It gets cold here." He walked over, handing Ino a sweater as well, this one moss green. She took it, pulling the clothes over her head.

"Thanks." Was all Ino said. She looked at Sasuke, who seemed to have… fallen asleep?

She motioned to him, questioning Naruto. "He okay?" Naruto laughed, going over to sit in said shinobi's lap. Sasuke's eye jerked open, looking at the heavy object now sitting on him.

"Naruto? What are you doing?" Sasuke moved to sit up, and Naruto repositioned himself to sit properly. Sasuke looked over Naruto's shoulder at Ino and Sakura, who had both made their way to the floor and were now curled up in each other.

"You two are sleeping there, then?"

Ino nodded, nestling her head in Sakura's neck. Sasuke got up, Naruto falling to the floor with a thump.
"Itaaaaiii!" Naruto rubbed his pained ass and looked up at Sasuke. "What the hell was that for?"
"They need a blanket." Sasuke tossed the black blanket he had been laying in at Ino and Sakura, who gladly took it and wrapped it around themselves.

"Oh, what a time to actually care!" Naruto exclaimed. He got up, and walked slowly over to the closet, getting another blanket out.

"Come to bed, dobe." Sasuke sat down on the couch, and Naruto glared at him.

"Dobe? Dobe! Again with the insults!" Naruto chucked the blanket at Sasuke and hoped over the couch, landing comfortably in his boyfriends lap. He sighed, closing his eyes and curled up into Sasuke's arms.

"Night, Sasuke."

"Good night, Naruto."
