Akira's POV
"Kuso..." I said, lying beside Naruto
"Wahhh, Akira don't just lie there, help me-dattebayo!" Naruto said while wriggling, attempting to loosen the tie that held him to the post.
"Just one candy..." I said pouting jokingly as if Naruto didn't exist.
"Ahh, Mooo!, Akira!" He said now trying to kick me, I slap away his foot and sat up
"Akira, come on!" He said again pouting, giving me a puppy eyes
"..." I just stare at him. I stand up and walk away
"Ehhh! Akira!"
"That's your punishment... besides it easy to get out there, ja ne..." I said waving a hand
"Ehhh!" He shouts
"Oh, I'll wait for you at Ichiraku Ramen, my treat..." I said his face changing expression to an excited one, I didn't wait for his response and walk away.
I look at my hand and eat the one lollipop that is left.
(man... I should hurry, knowing him he'll get out there quickly) I sigh and walk faster to where the Ichiraku Ramen.
-skip-
"ohh, Akira you're here!" Teuchi-san said looking at me then his eye's darts at my back
"He's still not here... he'll catch up" I said knowing who his looking for
"oh... so what's your order?"
"The usual, miso..." I said resting my chin on the table
"Tired Akira?" Ayame-san ask
"mhmmm" I said nodding my head lazily and closing my eyes, I heard Ayame-san giggled.
"Okay, just wait, I'll prepare your ramen" She said, even if my eyes were closed I can tell that she's smiling.
"So... where's Naruto?" The voice beside me asked
"Still tied up, you know..." I said my eyes still closed, not really caring who's the person next to me.
"mhmm, so you did not help him..." The person next to me said, a hint of amusement in his voice.
"You should have helped him..." He continued
(What with this guy...) I thought opening my eyes and turning my head to look at the person next to me.
"I don't rea-" I stop immediately when I see who is it.
"Ohh..." I just said and turn to look at the table
"Come on, continue what you're gonna say" Sensei said, I can feel his eyes staring at me.
"haa... nothing, actually... umm.. nothing" I said.
(If I ignore him, he will not talk to me...) I thought tapping my fingers on the table
"ohh... here's your ramen Akira" Ayame-san said putting the ramen on the table
"Thank you, Ayame-san" I said giving her a small smile.
"Akira, I told you to just call me Ayame-neechan" She said having a childish expression.
"Well, I'm used to 'Ayame-san'" I said scratching my cheek
"That's why you should start calling me neechan, it make me feel old when you call me by san..." She said having a pout
"You're old though..." I said jokingly and she just look at me.
"Anyway, where's Naruto?" She said looking at the right chair beside me.
"He's tied up to a post...he should be here soon" I said starting to eat my ramen
"Tied up? Ohhh... I remember it's your team exercise today, right? How did it go?" She said getting excited all of a sudden
"Well, I... good I think..." I said not really knowing what to say. I look at Ayame-san and see her eyes glisten.
"Actually... it's a test... and we pass just barely..." I said
"Ohhh, that's really good Akira-chan" She said looking very excited and happy.
"yeah... I just got step on though, and my candies are all goneee..." I said with a deadpan, Ignoring the chan, besides she just said it when she's excited.
"You see I still have the one lollipop, you want it?" Sensei asked, getting Ayame-san attention
"Don't tell me his your Sensei?" She said very excitedly. I look at Sensei direction
"Unfortunately, yes..." I said bored
(Naruto, where are you?)
"Ma,Ma, Don't be like that, tomorrow will just be our first mission." He said looking at me and giving me an eye smile. I look at my ramen again deciding to ignore him.
(He will go soon, beside his done eating his ramen)
"Akira, you should not ignore your Sensei, that's rude" Ayame-san lectured crossing her arms.
"Right, Akira-chan, that hurt me as a Sensei that my student don't like me" I look at him, seeing him having a hurt expression his hand on his chest. My eyebrow twitch looking at him.
"Please, don't call me Akira-chan" I said to him, crossing my arms. He just stare at me, and give me an eye smile, he went to raffle my hair, but I back away.
"Sure" He just said looking again at the book he was reading.
(Pervert...) I thought looking at the book his reading
I was about to start eating my ramen again when he suddenly speaks
"So, do you still want?" He said showing me the lollipop
"No, thanks. You can have it" I said
"If you say so..." He said, after a few seconds I hear the plastic wrapper of the lollipop. I look in his direction seeing him removing the plastic wrapper of the lollipop.
"You want it?" He said offering the lollipop again. I just shake my head and look at my ramen again.
(This is awkward, Naruto you're taking so damn long) I just continue eating my ramen and think about the book I was reading earlier.
(I'm curious, I should have brought it with me...Tomorrow, I will bring it) I was lost in my thoughts when a hand is suddenly placed on my head and raffling my hair, making me jump at the sudden contact
"nande?" I ask when I see that his already standing beside me
"Just a way of saying goodbye to my dear student" He said removing his hand from my head
"It's already dark you should probably go home." He look at the empty sit beside me
"Well, you should check on Naruto first. I still need to report to the Hokage." He said paying "I already payed your ramen. Let's say my pay for eating all your candy" I look at the money on the table and see that he actually pay for it
"Thank you, I guess" I said also standing up.
"Ohh.. you're leaving too. I could accompany-"
"What, no, I can handle myself, Thank you Ayame-san and Teuchi-san. Ja ne" I said running away from the Ichiraku ramen leaving Sensei.
(man...okay, now, I should go to Naruto.) I thought, stopping from running
" damn, it's really dark" I mutter
" That's why I told you I will accompany you" I almost scream at the voice but a glove hand covered my hand that I used to cover mouth stopping me from screaming but I flinch at the sudden contact.
"shhh.. gomen,gomen, didn't mean to scare you" He said removing his hands
" I almost had a heart attack ..." I mutter to myself
"Why are you even here?" I said once my heart rate goes back to normal
" Oh, you're my student so it's right to walk you home when it's already dark, you know" He explained starting to walk to the training grounds.
"I don't really-" I said but he interrupted me
" Ma, ma , even if you say so, I still do it, so you don't really have a choice" He said
" Right, damn it" I sigh and started to walk to catch up to him.
There was a silence between us, neither of us are attempting to make a conversation
(at least it was comfortable silence) I sigh
*Once we reach the training ground*
(ehh..)
" I didn't expect him to sleep though"
I walk up to the sleeping Naruto, his not tied up but he's sprawled on the ground snoring. I was about to wake him up but Sensei stops me
"No, I'll just carry him," He said carrying Naruto on his back, Naruto, moved a little getting comfortable on Sensei's back, but he didn't wake up.
" I can actually carry him" I said looking at him
"Well, I'm here so..." He said shrugging his shoulder
"okay. I just wanted to also sleep" I said not wanting to argue
" You want, I could carry you too" He suggested
"No way. I still can walk" I said walking away from him.
" So, where are we going now?" He asked
" huh?" I ask confused
" Maybe you still want to go somewhere, I'm here so it's okay even if it's already dark" He said giving me an eye smile.
"Yeah actually I still needed to go dig" I said to him seriously.
"huh?" He asks looking so confused.
"you see... in these past years, I've been planning on going to the cemetery to dig my own grave, but since your here maybe you could help me, you know..." I explained making him stop and look at me like I said something stupid.
"What?... don't look at me like that"
"..." He just continue staring at me with the same look on his face
"What? ... You see, when I die, I don't want other people to have a hard time digging my grave, so I'll do it myself. Isn't that a good idea?" I said giving him a childish thumbs up. My eyebrows twitch when he just stares at me not even batting an eyelash
"That's a joke" I said starting to walk again.
"ahhh..." I heard him mutter with hesitancy and start to walk behind me
(What's with him staring at me like that. It's actually a good idea, maybe I should consider it...) I thought nodding my head.
When I noticed him staring at me, I turned to face him.
"Can you stop staring?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
"So, where are we really going?" He asked, still looking lost.
"Apartment." I just said walking faster.
(why am I with him, I'm really unlucky...) I thought my shoulders dropping.
After a few minutes of walking, we reached our apartment. I grab my key and unlocked our apartment. I open it and let Sensei enter first.
"Just go." I said when he didn't move from his position. He just nod and enter our apartment, once I'm inside I lock the door and pick up the trash that was in our apartment, I look at the sink and saw that there are still dishes, that needed to be wash.
(Ahh, mo, I'll just wash it tomorrow) I thought, going to my bed and removing my jacket and weapon pouches putting them on my bed, I look at Naruto's bed and see that Sensei put him already on his bed.
I heard a clearing of throat "So, I thi-"
"You...you went to our apartment yesterday, right? with the Hokage..." I said looking at him. I can see the shock in his eyes, but it quickly returns into a lazy eye.
"Ahh, that well, yes, you see the Hokage wanted me to see my student's apartment" He explained sitting on my bed. I just nod waiting for him to leave I start to put my weapons to a drawer and put my jacket on the laundry basket.
"So how did you know?" He asks getting comfortable sitting on my bed
"Secret" I said looking at him.
"But to clear your curiosity, it's because I can still smell that an old people entered our apartment" I said, shoving him out of the bed and sitting where he was just sitting a while ago I look up at him and cross my arms "I really appreciate you, walking me to our apartment. thank you" I said with a small smile.
"Well-" He said eye smiling, a hand reaching to raffle my hair but I back away from his hand
"I thought you're still going to report to the Hokage?" I interrupted him again, wanting him to just leave.
(I'm so sleepy come on just leave...) I thought yawning
"Right, I almost forgot" He said looking at our sink. Instead of walking to our door, he walks towards the sink
"What the hell are you doing?" I said dumbfounded
"Well, since I'm already here I'm just gonna do this too" He said opening the water
"Ahh mo, do what you want" I just said already tired.
"Hai, hai" He said still washing the dishes
(At least my lazy ass don't have to wash the dishes tomorrow) I thought a small smile creeping on my face (damn, I'm really lazy)
"You see we have tea there you can have some if you want, I'm going to sleep" I said already lying on my bed.
"You really allow me to just wander around your apartment, while you sleep?" He said amusement clear in his voice.
"What's the difference when you already went in our apartment without our permission" I said rolling my eyes. I heard him chuckle.
"It's not like your gonna do anything stupid, Sensei. Just lock the door." I continued turning my back to him, closing my eyes and covering my body and half of my face with the blanket
"Hai! Neko-chan..." I heard him teasingly said before letting sleep take over me.
(Ah, moo...)
