Warning: Shounen ai, some descriptive kissing scenes and fowl language.
A/N: Okay, this really came out of nowhere, though you could thank N'sync and Hansons holiday CD's for the inspiration and the quote. I know. I am weird. -.-
Now Ichi-chan, you know me, wouldI write a Sasunaru fanfiction with anything less than mild cuddling in it? ThoughI will save the suspence, this one doesn't have a lemon. I may write one separately for it, but no lemon though they aren't exactly good little boys in it either (can't help it, pervy Sasuke pwns) XD
Under My Tree
'No One Else But Me And You
Nothing I Would Rather Do
Than Hold You All Through The Night
Under My Tree'
Naruto was having issues talking to Sasuke right now, not like he was upset with the boy or anything...he just couldn't get over the dream he'd had. One moment he was enjoying ramen while the villagers shouted their love for their favorite Hokage, and the next Sasuke was telling him he loved him. The villagers had been gone and it had been just Sasuke standing with Naruto, holding the blonde close to him before he kissed him. It was a soft kiss, he could almost feel his lips still tingling from it, Naruto didn't know what it meant but knew Sasuke probably wouldn't like it.
"Dobe?"
Naruto stopped looking up and noticing he'd just passed Ichiraku's, smiling and scratching the back of his head he made the lame excuse of being too cold to think before sitting on the stool. Sasuke sat next to him and he forced himself to look at his temporary roommate, Sasuke didn't look any different, he didn't know if that was good or bad, but he did know that meant he should stop acting so strange. The last thing he wanted was to make things awkward between them because some silly dream.
"So what'll it be boys?"
Naruto smiled at the man behind the counter, "A Large Pork ramen!"
Sasuke beside him ordered a large Miso ramen and they sat quietly for a moment, Naruto never could handle silence well so he spoke.
"I saw the trash, are those from those girls?"
Sasuke nodded.
"Eh? You don't even open them! Aren't you just a little curious"
Sasuke scoffed, "Why? Like I said it would just be-..."
"Useless junk I know, but come on man! They're gifts! It doesn't matter what's in them, it's the unwrapping that's fun!"
Sasuke smirked, "You sound like such a kid, Dead-Last."
Naruto pouted before brightening again, his former shy behavior forgotten.
"Could I open them!"
Sasuke sighed, "You're really annoying, you know that?"
Naruto smirked, "Is that a yes?"
The raven-haired boy rolled his eyes, "Whatever."
Naruto was already feeling excited as his meal arrived and he dove in, getting scolded by Sasuke a moment later for making such a mess while eating. Naruto argued that he had never made such a mess before, it must be Sasuke who did it. No one bought it, even the woman and man behind the counter laughed at the lame excuse. Naruto got his revenge however in eating 8 bowls of his favorite food, he only stopped because Sasuke threatened to make him pay for it. When they headed home that time it was far less uncomfortable. They even stayed up a while more, Sasuke keeping Naruto company for as long as he could before heading to bed.
Naruto was going to attempt sleep even though he was nowhere near sleepy when he saw the presents, giggling like a mad man Naruto hauled them from the trash and into the living room. They were all from girls and all for Sasuke, some were big and some were little but all were torn into by the boy. It wasn't as exciting as he'd hoped...he was right, those girls didn't know Sasuke at all.
A crudely obviously homemade heart shaped pillow.
A shirt with her picture on it. He knew that girl, she didn't have a prayer.
Some necklaces, bracelets and rings, all were far to girly for the Uchiha, even though Naruto was putting on everything he found. Sheer boredom was making him do it, plus it was mildly fun. Especially since he found in one a Santa hat and some socks.
There were some toys, stuffed bears, frogs, cats, and dogs. There was one stuffed fox he liked and considered taking though he knew he would have to ask Sasuke for it and he would sooner die.
Finally he opened the last one catching the name as Ino. Naruto slowly grinned as he opened it trying to guess what the medium sized present could be. However once it was open he stared. It was cologne? Naruto opened the box and tried some of it, it didn't smell to bad but it was really really strong! Coughing Naruto picked up the trash and quickly grabbed a box and scribbled down a note shoving the gifts in the box and putting the note on the top before dropping it at Sasuke's door and going to his own bedroom. It was rather hard to fall asleep considering he was getting lung fulls of the scent every time he breathed.
Sasuke woke up hearing the doorbell again, damn, it seemed they were starting earlier and earlier every year. However his sense of time was probably off as he noted the clock read 11 in the morning. He pushed himself out of bed and reluctantly began the task of waking up for the day, he showered, having one in his room, which was actually his aunt and uncles former room. His was too close to his brothers, he didn't like it. Pulling on a long sleeve black shirt and a short sleeved green one he pulled on his black pants just as there was a shout in the other room.
Sasuke rolled his eyes as he heard Naruto cursing the table for attacking him and went to leave. When he opened the door he saw a box with a note, he bent, reading the note. The chicken scratch gave it away as Narutos:
Yo Teme.
Sorry, nothing good.
The Uchiha lifted the lid and agreed, he smelled the cologne the moment he opened the box and had to close it and shoved it away with his toe. That was some powerful stuff, what idiot sent that? Pushing aside the curiosity he shoved the box with his foot all the way to the kitchen where he put it by the trash, hoping something that idiot put in there would over power the nauseating cologne. Sasuke ventured out and found Naruto kneeling by the window, his face peeking out a bit of the curtain.
"What are you doing?"
Naruto turned and motioned Sasuke over, the boy scoffed but went and pushed the curtain aside, standing on the step was a group of boys, each with at least one gift in his hands.
"Hn."
Naruto looked up at him, "You have boy fans too!"
Sasuke smirked, "It seems so, ignore them."
Naruto blushed as he looked out the window, "So they are all gay?"
Sasuke was already bored of the conversation and headed for the kitchen, "Probably."
Naruto spoke very quietly behind him but he heard every word, "Hmm...wonder who would be on top..."
Sasuke choked on air and turned glaring, "What kind of question is that!"
Naruto laughed at Sasuke's reaction and shrugged, "I dunno, I was just curious. And anyways if they are all gay why don't they date each other?"
Sasuke sighed slapping a hand to his forehead, Naruto was such a moron.
"I don't know. Now stop staring at them, Dobe."
"Don't call me that!"
Sasuke grabbed the cereal, he didn't feel like cooking right now.
"Don't be one then."
Naruto growled and cursed from the living room as Sasuke sat to eat, pouring the milk in his cereal. However, belatedly he read the carton. Egg Nog. Naruto came in and saw him giving a death glare to the carton and put two and two together. He burst out in laughter, Sasuke glared over his shoulder and went to throw it away but Naruto stopped laughing and grabbed it.
"Don't waste it stupid!"
Sasuke raised an eyebrow, "You're...you're going to eat that?"
Naruto nodded and sat opposite him, barely taking a breath before he dove in. Sasuke had to look away for his own state of mind. That was so gross! Naruto however was munching happily as Sasuke got yet another bowl, this time with milk.
"Don't forget today we have to go to Iruka-sensei's!"
Sasuke nodded, "But that's not until six."
Naruto 'hmmed' for a moment, "Well, I still haven't gone gift shopping, we can do that today!"
Sasuke cocked his head a little, "Who are you buying for?"
Naruto held up and hand and counted them off, "There's Iruka-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, Tsunade-baa-chan, Shizune-nii-chan, Sakura-chan, Konohomaru, Moegi, Udon and You!"
Sasuke let his faint irritation at being last to be listed go and rolled his eyes, "And how many of them give back to you?"
Naruto looked away and shrugged, "So? I don't need presents, I never really got 'em before anyways."
Sasuke took a moment to digest that and nodded, "Fine. Christmas shopping for a while but again, I don't want to wander around in the cold all day."
Naruto nodded, "Fine fine."
They finished breakfast and again bundled up before sneaking out the back, Sasuke glanced back seeing the group was rather large this time. Great, he was going to have so much crap to throw away.
After they reached the town Naruto plunged into the first shop he found, which was mainly a weapons shop, he figured he would get Kakashi something from there, or so he said. Sasuke took the time to look around he didn't usually buy for anyone, but this time he was going to get some presents for one person. Of course it was pity that drove him, that as all...probably.
Sasuke was about to give up on finding anything in this shop when a weapons case caught his eye, it was orange with an embroidered fox. Sasuke glanced over to make sure Naruto was busy, and he was, for some reason the kunai he had been looking at had all fallen from the shelf, Naruto was trying to dance out of their range with his life. Sasuke took the moment to get the attention of a old man behind the counter.
"I want to buy the weapons case, the orange one."
The man nodded getting in the case and taking it out, he handed it to Sasuke who nodded that he wanted it and the man offered to gift wrap it, Sasuke again nodded, busy keeping an eye on Naruto and hardly listening. Thankfully it was handed back to him without Naruto knowing about the purchase, Sasuke slipped it into his hoodie and waited while Naruto apologized to the man for the mess and almost ran from the shop. Sasuke rolled his eyes and left behind him, the boy took him to a clothing store next. Sasuke watched Naruto make sure he picked up on anything the boy liked himself. It was beginning to seem a lost cause when he whooped. Sasuke turned and walked to Naruto looking at the red white shirt with a green frog in the middle, Sasuke saw nothing special about it, that it until Naruto pulled out his wallet.
"It looks just like Gama-chan!"
Sasuke stared at the frog wallet that was thrust in his face blankly, he didn't see the resemblance.
"Whatever, idiot."
Naruto rolled his eyes and turned back to the shirt sighing wishfully, but instead he turned mumbling about needing to get something for Sakura-chan. Sasuke waited until he was in the women's section and quickly grabbed the shirt, thankfully again Naruto remained blissfully unaware as the purchase was rung up and slipped next to the weapons pouch in his hoodie.
They hit a few more stores, a book store, toy store, jewelry store, beauty store and finally a pet store, unfortunately Sasuke could get nothing for Naruto from there. His apartment didn't allow pets. When they finally went home they were both carrying bags, Sasuke carrying them to cover the increasingly noticeable bulge in his hoodie middle. Sasuke decided to hide Naruto's until Christmas, Naruto would open them all when he wasn't looking otherwise. Naruto wanted to go deliver his presents to everyone already and Sasuke didn't feel up to wandering through the snow again, but thankfully Naruto didn't make him come. Naruto left again promising to be back by six, Sasuke took the time to relax and warm up, tonight was Christmas Eve...it didn't feel like it. The Uchiha leaned back watching the snow fall outside, it was nice...his house didn't usually have so much life in it, but it was nice. Sasuke would be tempted to carry on with the decorating if it weren't for the fact he knew it would be lonely to do it all by himself.
He got up for a second plugging in the tree and snowman outside, the light flooded the room casting its blue/white light over the room. Giving into a strange craving Sasuke got up and got some egg nog, they would need another carton when they went out tonight. He made a mental note and sipped the thick drink. Sasuke thought back to the other day, it wasn't often he did impulsive things...kissing Naruto had been impulsive...but he didn't exactly regret it. He was having more fun these days than he had in a long time, being with Naruto made it easier to laugh and Sasuke missed that. He would miss that again when Naruto went back to his house. It struck him as funny he was admitting to himself he would miss the Dobe. Sasuke didn't know how long he sat staring out the window then at the tree then at the newly made fire, but it must have been a while as he nearly leaped from his seat at the loud entrance of the smaller boy.
"Teme! Come on, we have to go or we'll be late!"
-TBC!-
FYI: Just so everyone knows, the egg nog and cereal thing actually happened with my sister. The cereal was Fruit Loops too XS -Grooooooooos!- I swear she has a somtach of steel. -feels sick-
