Housekeeper Chpater 3

As soon as Sasuke was done with his lunch he walked Naruto out, oddly quiet till he felt Naruto stiffen besides him, he turned and saw all the studio members were practically gawking at the blond dressed in his clothes, weather it was because he looked hot or because they assumed they did something inappropriate in his dressing room; he didn't know.

Probably both.

"Oi," Sasuke yelled and everyone including Naruto jumped, "Do your work! DO YOU GET PAID FOR SLACKING THE FUCK OFF?! "

Almost immediately everyone busied themselves in any kind of activity which didn't including staring at the blond besides him, he felt Naruto sigh in relief and follow him out.

"Thanks Sasuke." Naruto quietly murmured as soon as they were outside.

"You looked pretty nervous."

"I don't like to be stared at, yeah." Naruto said not meeting Sasuke's eyes which were boring holes through his hand which was placed on his tummy, in insecurity.

"You know they were appreciative glances, right?" Sasuke asked with such incredulous tone that made Naruto smile a bit, "No way Teme. I am not that hot."

"I see…. On top of being a dobe your blind as well, are those pretty eyes only for decoration?" Sasuke huffed and Naruto glared at him.

"Teme, wait….did you call my eyes pretty?" he teased.

A barely visible blush appeared on Sasuke's face much to Naruto's delight, "No I didn't. "

"Your blush says otherwise." He said cheekily.

"Shut up dobe, you better get home before it gets dark; let me send my driver with you."Sasuke said and Naruto shook his head.

"No way teme. I'll be fine. "He insisted and Sasuke raised his eyebrows.

"Are you an Idiot? The city is too un-safe. There are perverts, thieves and murderers everywhere. I am not letting you go alone."

"Hey! I am not an Idiot! Besides it'll be even later when you get home. I'll just take a train, besides I took boxing when I was younger I'll be fine."

Sasuke still looked unconvinced and so worried it made Naruto melt that the guy acted like an asshole but was still genuinely worried about him. He was a good guy after all.

"You? Boxing? Hah! You look too weak for something intense like boxing." Sasuke mocked and in an instant that pink feeling was replaced by dark annoyance, he huffed and went without saying a word.

Naruto was minding his business, he really was, everything was going to plan he was heading back after taking the train he still had a 10 minute walk from the mansion, he could hear voice of someone fighting, thinking it was some youngster probably having their high school gang fights, but he couldn't remove the spark of curiosity and went in the dark alley just to make sure his assumption was correct.

But his eyes nearly bugged out when he saw the man dressed in a bloody white tee and pair of dirty jeans fighting with about six people by himself; he stepped closer and saw it was the man from the mall, Rock Lee, and from the looks of it there were about ten people since 4 were down unconscious on the ground.

Naruto jumped and attacked one of the men with knife in his hand successfully surprising and knocking out the man, He saw Lee looking at him in surprise before they both began to take everyone down one by one, the last two remaining guys ran away after they realized they were no match for them.

"Naruto-kun, why are you here?" He heard Lee ask and turned his eyes towards him, "Thank you for helping me by the way." Lee smiled and Naruto grinned.

"No problem Lee, but why were those guys attacking you?"

Lee sighed," I was heading home when I saw these people harassing a girl; I know I should have called the police, but the idea didn't cross my mind till it was too late. I am often told I don't think things through, but I couldn't just not help her."

'Woah, he really is just a nice guy.'

Naruto saw that blood was dripping down Lee's forehead and panicked he said, "Lee you're bleeding, come the mansion is nearby, I'll see that."

"No, I don't want to tro-"

Lee's answer was cut off by Naruto who started dragging him towards the mansion, he wasn't comfortable calling it home, and after all he was just a temporary housekeeper, till Iruka found a permanent house keeper.

[Meanwhile]

"What do you mean he's still not home, he left before me, and he should have been here an hour ago!" Sasuke yelled and Neji and Kiba exchanged worried glances, while Gaara remained impassive looking out of the window calmly.

"Shit, I knew I shouldn't have let him go home alone…..he could've stayed with me for two hours, we could've gone back together."

"Calm down Uchiha." Gaara said as he picked up his jacket from the sofa, "there is no point in panicking; let's go and look for him."

Sasuke nodded while Neji also started to get up, he turned to Kiba, "you stay here in case he comes back."

Kiba nodded and froze with the rest of them when they heard the door bell ring, despite being the furthest away from the door, Sasuke was the one who opened the door and was greeted with a sight of bruised Naruto and Lee.

"Dobe, what the hell?!" Sasuke gripped Naruto while much everyone's surprise Gaara reached for Lee, Naruto noticed his eyes were narrowed in anger but despite that Gaara was holding Lee gently who was freighting in Gaara's arms not looking at the red head beauty.

He was snapped out from his thoughts when he felt both his cheeks being cupped in large hands and looked up to meet concerned black eyes, "What- ho-how did this happen?"

"It was my fault."Lee said gently pushing himself out of the red head's arms who loosened his grip reluctantly but didn't let go.

"No it wasn't Lee." Naruto said softly, "You saved a girl from being harassed or maybe raped, You're a hero."

Naruto turned towards Sasuke, "I heard the sounds of fighting while I was walking home, he was fighting about ten people alone Sasuke, and managed to knock down four of them all by himself."

Lee blushed under the compliment, "No, Naruto-kun, you attacked the man with a knife and saved my life, you're the real hero."

"That was very stupid of you."

Everyone turned to Gaara, for the first time since Naruto had known him, he saw emotions of anger in Gaara's eyes and it wasn't directed at him it was directed at Lee who remained silent, his cherry smile turned into a straight line.

Kiba entered the room with a first aid kit, since rest was too busy looking a back and forth between Lee and Gaara like spectators at a tennis match.

"You could've have died, are really so stupid?" Gaara's voice was like fire but his eyes were ice cold boring into Lee who didn't even flinch, like he was used to this.

"You expected me to just stay and do nothing?"

"You could've called the police; it's not your job, stop pretending to be a superhero." Gaarra gritted out bitterly but Lee ignored him and went to sit near Kiba who was started to attend to his bruises, while Sasuke did the same for Naruto.

Gaara certainly was the most scary out of all of them, even many news reporters and fans, liked to maintain their distance, for the violinist could be intimidating as hell, even his rivals didn't openly criticized him due to fear of Gaara's wrath.

But Lee didn't even seem to acknowledge his statement, at least that was what Naruto thought until he saw the visible slump of Lee's shoulders. 'His pretending to not being hurt by Gaara's words. Poor guy, but why is Gaara is so concerned with him? Are they friends?' He thought but both of them didn't looked like they belonged to the same social circle. 'Maybe an old flam-'

"Oww." Naruto shrieked when Sasuke roughly jabbed is cut lip roughly with the cotton, "Could you please be a bit more gentle? I am a wounded man."

Sasuke simply raised a mocking eyebrow and didn't ease his jabs, like he was purposely hurting him.

Damn sadist.

A curse from Lee brought him back to the matter which had occupied him before the bastard had interrupted; the dojo owner was looking like he was trying not wince as to look strong (which in Naruto's opinion he was) but struggling.

He turned to Gaara who was looking impassive, eyes glued to Lee's form and whenever he saw him wince, his fingers dug in his arms which were crossed over his chest.

He squeaked when Sasuke gripped his thighs and pulled him on his lap, he blushed when he found how close he was to him, feeling his breath on his face; the moment was broken when he saw Sasuke smirk and continue to tend the bruises on his face, obviously noticing the redness on his tanned cheeks.

[Later]

After Kiba was done, patching Lee up, the dojo owner decided that he had worn out his welcome and insisted that he should be heading home much to Naruto's displeasure and surprisingly, Gaara's as well, though he refused to show it, his frown said otherwise.

Naruto worried what he would cook for the guys while he could hardly move and those painkillers were making him drowsy, Neji noticed it.

"Looks like Naruto's tired, shouldn't we let him rest?" he asked Kiba who nodded, "Yea, we'll just order out for a bit, let the poor guy rest. He needs it."

Naruto felt really bad, it hasn't been a proper week of him working here and he was causing trouble not mention not doing his job properly, he pouted and sniffled, "Sorry…." He mumbled he was feeling emotional today.

Someone smacked him on the back of his head softly, "Dobe, it's not your fault no need to apologise."

Naruto's pout grew bigger as he stared at Sasuke with big watery blue eyes, he didn't want Sasuke to be angry at him, he wanted Sasuke to kiss him and- whoa, okay wait. What? He was definitely drugged, he felt suddenly lifted by surprisingly strong arms of Sasuke. Who carried him to his room, but before he could reach there, he fell asleep.

Sasuke took Naruto to his own room, ignoring Neji and Kiba's protests, of how the blond should be in their room. Like hell he would leave a defenseless dobe in Neji or Kiba's room, there was also Gaara who was an option. But that didn't matter.

So what if he wanted Naruto in his room? For him to rely on him? To see him, when he wakes up first?

He removed Naruto's top and covered him in his own t-shirt which was long enough for Sasuke to assume it was okay to take the dirty pants off without looking like a pervert. Then changed himself in the bathroom.

He lies down next to the blond's sleeping form and while keeping a respectable distance from him and drawing covers on them both. Soon he fell asleep.

Is it too fast? Hope it not boring…
