A/N: With this lovely Christmas season, and the FUCKING NEW YEARS YEAH! Why not treat you lovelies to another chapter huh? Hope you all have much fun and stay safe! Really sorry for the retarded timed updates, but I have to commit to other things… . really sorry. But please ENJOY, and review~ just makes my day ya'know?
All warnings and disclaimer is the same in all chapters unless stated.
Sasuke sat with his head in his hands, Naruto sat wide-eyed and curious, Juugo sat in the corner quietly. This was all caused because of Suigetsu… With a little inspiration from a certain raven…
Suigetsu, well done… Just how I planned… Sasuke smirk went unseen.
"Ok, alright, well… It all started when, I saw you in the elevator a while ago."
"I think I remember that."
"Wait, you know what?"
"What?" Everyone replied.
"I'm not going to explain it. You men are pretty smart, well… I think you are at least… So go figure it out yourself." And weirdly enough, Suigetsu just left in an instant, leaving Sasuke, Naruto and Juugo sitting awkwardly there in silence…
{Naruto's mind}
I have absolutely no idea what just happened. Ok lets get this straight, I was eating my noodles, then Sasuke turned up at my door wanting a shower because his hot water doesn't work. I let him in, he showers, and then the power goes off. I manage to see him with his shirt off… oh hot dayummm… oh stop it! Naruto mentally slapped himself. Anyways, the heaters don't work, and we kinda… got so much closer… Physically too… That moment, where we were on the couch looking over Central Park… The blonde sighs out loud.
{Juugo's mind}
Hmm… I wonder what the two are thinking about now… Hmm, I wonder where Suigetsu is… Its not like he can leave without me… I've got the car keys… Wow, it's really pretty outside with the snow and all…
{Sasuke's mind}
Does Suigetsu really think he is so genius to create this plan? PSSH, I planned my actions to cause him to plan his! So lets see… I bet, he did something to my hot water supply from the switchbox (it being not inside the apartment), and I conveniently *forgot* to check that too… ok, now to the useless help desk… Meh, he probably tipped off the lady to tell me such bullshit. Then I'm pretty sure he just did something to Naruto's switchbox, probably turning off the lights and definitely turning off the heating at the mains… He is quite smart… But he should actually be thanking me. No, I should be thanking myself… Hell yes.
[Normal POV]
"Ok never mind, its way too cold outside to be waiting there." Suigetsu quickly barged into Naruto's quiet apartment, "whoa why so quiet now?"
"Just thinking up ways to kill you; hmm drowning, burning or decapitation?"
"Sasuke, YOU should be thanking ME." Suigetsu whispered to Sasuke.
"You wish. Hard luck. Anyways, when's the next rehearsal?"
"Next week Sunday. Why?" Juugo answered
"I have to go get new strings by then."
"Rehearsal, Sasuke?" Naruto questioned.
"Suigetsu, Juugo, and I are in a band together. Oh and another girl, but you don't know her."
"Wow really?"
"Did I stutter?" Sasuke raised his eyebrow.
"No, but that's cool!" A goofy grin plastered Naruto's face.
"Yeah I know right!" Suigetsu shouted, "We are called the Sharingan!"
"No we aren't…" The orange head and the raven said simultaneously.
"Well what is your band name?"
"Not really sure yet, but from out of the list we had, I voted for Bonds."
"Yeah that's my favourite." Juugo agreed with Sasuke.
"Wanna explain the meaning for that?" Naruto pushed, "you know, most times band names have special meanings to them… right?"
Sasuke shifted in his seat and ruffled his hair.
"Well I guess its because, uh…" He let out a breath.
"Come on, spit it out," Naruto coaxed
Sasuke shrugged and said, "well, I don't really know, but I guess its because we," the raven gestured to Juugo, Suigetsu and himself, "I guess we don't really have any…"
"… Any?" Naruto was a bit lost.
"Any bonds, only with each other really. We all have no family at all. Not that I know of at least…"
"Oh," Naruto didn't really know what to say…
Avoid the awkward silence… avoid the awkward silence…
"Well, I better get going…" Sasuke just stood up, grabbed his jacket and left.
"Hmm, I wonder what's up with him…" Suigetsu pondered out loud, "well! Naruto right?"
"Yep,"
"You, will turn up to the party right?"
"Christmas eve?"
"Yes. Tomorrow!"
"Yeah, I don't see why not… But I'm not too sure if Sasuke wants me there…" The blonde looked down, crescent shaped eyelashes form. Suigetsu put his hand on Naruto's shoulder, and said:
"Believe me man, he wants you to be there. Trust me."
And before the duo left, Juugo said, "Naruto, if it ever crossed your mind, don't bring gifts, we don't really do that kinda thing. Oh and the party, it's formal. But it's going to get pretty… festive… It's going to be lots of fun. Hope to see you there too."
[CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT- Naruto]
A low murmur of idle chat was heard from outside the apartment door. Naruto fixed his orange tie in the mirror of the elevator before stepping out. Slowly he took slow fixed steps towards the big front door. One steady breath in, one steady breath out.
[To Sasuke]
"Awww Sasukeeeee, come onnn!~"
"Fuck!"
"Yeahh baaaab you know you wannaaa!"
"Jeez its not even ten and you are so wasted. Get off of me!"
Sasuke tried to pry the too familiar Karin away; who draped herself over him.
"Aww, don't be like that Sasuuu~!"
The raven frowned deeply at her next actions, but when he heard the glorious, sound of the bell from the front door, he immediately stood and literally ran.
Fuck she's annoying. But oh God. He's here. He's here.
[To Naruto]
The blonde pressed the doorbell and waited a few seconds. His next sight was a slightly flustered and a bit puffed Sasuke who quickly opened the door. What a sight. The raven as quickly as he opened the door, TRIED to regain his casual indifferent composure, him too, running his slender fingers through his midnight hair.
"Hey, you came."
"I guess I did. Merry Christmas eve."
"To you too," the raven widened the entrance, revealing a now louder atmosphere of a lively party, "I hope you like dancing."
"Oh boy do I." and with a sly wink, Naruto took a step into what felt like a hot club; leaving a raised eyebrow on the smirking face of the Uchiha.
