Hey Folks!

Okay, so I'm continuing this thing!:)

Thank you all for your support ! I was really surprised, that I still have my readers, and I have to say, I love you guys!

So here's one nice, and even a bit longer, chap for you :)

Warnings: Yaoi (boy x boy), OOCness, fluff

Pairings: Sasuke/Naruto of course, and minor Sakura/Lee, Kakashi/Iruka and Shikamaru/Temari, Kiba/Hinata

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

23. Secret Presents

Naruto yawned.

He was supposed to be at some bar with Kiba and get himself wasted to celebrate the upcoming fest, but it seemed that Hinata didn't like their plan, and clearly showed that as she dragged the poor Kiba on his ear out of the bar. After that, Naruto had gone home, too, and hoped he could get Sasuke to 'celebrate' in their own way, but he found the building empty.

So he did the one thing he enjoyed, next to Sasuke, the most: Eating ramen.

He searched in the kitchen cupboard for a packet, but found only pork ramen.

"Nah, not pork ramen again," he thought, "It gets boring after a week. Let's see..."

After some really hard and exhausting thinking, he decided to make some cocoa. If Sasuke can make it, he could, too!

He quickly searched for a pot to warm the milk, and the instant powder.

Left cupboard: nothing. Middle cupboard: nothing. Right cupboard: Nothi- wait, something small and red, no, packed into red paper. Red Christmas wrapping paper.

And it was none of Naruto's presents.

He smiled.

Had he been a few years younger, he would not miss the chance to try and find out what was inside. Part of him still itched to take the box and shake it, to hear the thing inside, but he knew better than to spoil the surprise.

So he glanced at the packet one last time, and closed the cupboard again. When he turned around to search in the next cupboard, he saw someone standing in the doorway, watching him intensely. He blushed.

"Oh, hey Sasuke...!" he brought out and rubbed the back of his head.

Sasuke just nodded at him, and approached him with a scary expression on his face.

Naruto inched backwards, afraid of what Sasuke would do. He didn't do anything wrong! He didn't do anything more than just looking at that damn present! And it was obviously Sasuke's fault, because he hid the present in such a stupid spot! Who would hide their presents in a freaking kitchen cupboard?

But his thoughts came to an abrupt end when he hit the counter with his back, and Sasuke didn't stop.

"Sa-Sasuke, you're really scary right now..." Naruto whispered and looked up at Sasuke with a frightened expression.

But that didn't stop Sasuke, until he pushed Naruto flat against the counter. His breath tickled Naruto's ear when he reached out his hand. Naruto quickly shut his eyes closed, fearing whatever had to come.

Sasuke pressed a bit more against him, but after a few seconds the pressure was gone.

Naruto opened his eyes, confused, and saw a slightly smirking Sasuke in front of him, holding the present in his hands.

"What did you think I was gonna do?" Sasuke snickered, "I'm hiding that thing now."

He let go of Naruto and slowly made his way out of the kitchen, snickering slightly.

Naruto could only stare at his back, but then he snapped.

"Temeee!" he shouted and ran after Sasuke, jumping on his back. He grabbed the present and threw it onto the couch, where it fortunately landed safely on a pillow.

"Don't do that again, ever!" he laughed and buried his face into Sasuke's neck.

Sasuke, not really affected by Naruto's weight, carried Naruto to the couch and sat him down next to the present, and then sat down on the other side.

"Sorry..." Sasuke said, still smiling a bit, and kissed Naruto softly.

Naruto smiled back, and pulled himself onto Sasuke's lap, so he could kiss him properly.

After they broke the kiss, Naruto leaned against Sasuke, breathing heavily.

"Make-out?" was all he could say, as he placed small kisses onto Sasuke's face.

"Gladly," Sasuke panted, and thus they made out, the small present completely forgotten.

When I read this over, I noticed this in kinda OOC... ah, who cares? I's cute! (Or at least I think so...)

Oh, and I'm not sure when the next chappy'll come out :( Probably next weekend, but it's the giving-presents-Chapter (here in Germany we get the presents already on the 24th :P), so I have to think about what everyone gets xD

Till next time!

PS: I just noticed I named the last chap 22th Window... lol, stupid me.
