The sun shone on Naruto's face. It illuminated the details of his face, even the whiskers. The brightness of the light began to bother his eyes and soon woke him up. He opened his eyes slowly, sat up and looked about his room. He noticed that Sasuke was still asleep, so he laid back down. 'I wonder how long he sleeps in the morning?' Naruto thought to himself as he drifted back to slumber.

Sasuke squirmed about the sheets spread on him. The light began to bother him too. Dreams overflowed his head every night, this was unknown to everyone but him. Those dreams made his nights seem so long. They had cheered him up for quite a while, now...His eyes fluttered open slowly. Looking around, he noticed that Naruto was asleep. He got up off of the bed and began cleaning up Naruto's house a little. 'God. Did he ever think about cleaning this dump?' Sasuke thinks as he picks up ramen cups here and there. Hours later, he finishes cleaning the house and sits in a chair near Naruto's bed. Soon, he begins watching Naruto's breathing, inhale, exhale..His sight drifts off to the window. Sasuke sighs and looks again at the kitsune...Inhale...Exhale...

Naruto's slumber lasted a long time, until about 12:00. He finally woke with the sun shining in his eyes, yet again. Beginning to panic, he looked around the bed for Sasuke, he looked over at the chair, that was usually vacant, and found Sasuke sitting there, laughing at Naruto. "I was wondering where you were! How long have you been up?" Naruto questioned Sasuke, sitting up on his bed Indian style.

"Since about ten..." Sasuke said, looking at the window, the sun shining on his face. "I cleaned up your house." He said in an annoyed voice.

A scowl came across Naruto's face. "Hey. Don't be annoyed with me, dattebayo! I didn't tell you to pick up my mess!" Naruto yelled at Sasuke, making sure he got the point through.

"It was annoying me seeing so much crap on the floor." Sasuke looked over at Naruto with a light smirk. He liked getting Naruto angry, it made him laugh. He loved Naruto's little scowls and such. Enjoying himself already, he decided to make himself a little happier. "Hey Naruto." He looked at the angered kitsune.

Naruto sat cross-armed and looked at Sasuke. "Whadya want?" He thought Sasuke was going to pick on him more.

"Do you want to go out for ramen? It's on me." Sasuke asked, a smile crossing his face.

Naruto's scowl quickly turned into a smile. "Yeah! I'd love to!" He ran over to the door and waited for Sasuke. "Come on!" He jumped up and down energetically.

Sasuke laughed lightly and walked over to the door. 'I knew he'd like that.' He thought as he opened the door. He glance over at Naruto and noticed that he stil had on his sleeping cap. "Umm, Naruto? Do you plan on taking that off?" A, what seemed like a giggle, escaped his mouth.

"Oh! Yeah." He stopped jumping long enough to toss the cap onto the bed, then started to run. "Sasuke! Come on!" He says, looking back at Sasuke, who was walking.

"Oh, calm down. I'm coming." Sasuke says, running up to Naruto. Naruto stops jumping up and down and puts his hands behind his head. He sighs and looks up at the sky, which is quite clear for a winter day. They keep quiet on their walk, not many words passed at all. Soon, they arrive at the place well worth visiting, Ichiraku Ramen. They sit down in two vacant seats, one next to the other, and place their orders.

"Uhh, I want miso ramen today, old man." Naruto says, a smirk on his face.

"I think I'll have what he's having..." Sasuke looks around at the shops features, then turns his attention to Naruto, who is now getting his ramen.

"Itadakimasu!" With that, Naruto began slurping away at his ramen. He paused, looked over at Sasuke and smiled.

"Here, enjoy." The shop keeper handed Sasuke his ramen.

"Itadakimasu." He began to slurp down his own ramen.

Naruto finished the bowl in about 15 seconds. "Sasuke! Hurry up! I wanna go train!"

Sasuke stopped eating and looked over at Naruto. "Training? Didn't you have enough of that in summer?"

"Weeeeeell, I guess we can skip it today." Naruto says as he watches Sasuke slurp his ramen. He finished a few minutes later then paid the bill.

"Thanks for your business!" The shop keeper told them as they walked away.

"No prob, old man!" Naruto said, cheerfully. "So, where do we go next?" He asks Sasuke.
