Chapter Seven
Sasuke groaned as he slowly woke up. He turned over onto his side and stared at the alarm clock. 9:30. He yawned and slowly pulled himself out of bed, sitting on the edge of the bed for a few minutes before gathering himself to go to the bathroom. He opened the shower door and stepped inside, turning the knob to send a stream of cold water on him, causing him to gasp in shock before the water turned warm. Sasuke quickly scrubbed himself down and stepped out of the shower, grabbing a towel from the towel rack. He dried himself down and wrapped the towel around his waist. He went into his bedroom, glancing at the sleeping blonde before moving to the drawers to get his clothes out. He decided to go for his tight black jeans along with his tight dark red top. He grabbed a plain back hoodie, not really liking the band ones much. Just as he pulled his hoodie on, the door to his room opened. His mother looked in and smiled when she saw that he was already dressed. She then looked up at Naruto and almost squealed on how cute he looked when he was asleep.
She went to the bed and shook his shoulder gently,
"Naru-chan. Wake up, we need to go shopping for you."
Naruto didn't open his eyes, but he mumbled something. His hand reached out and grabbed Mikoto's arm and he hugged it to him. She giggled slightly and shook him a little harder. He groaned and opened his eyes, blinking in confusion. He sat up and frowned slightly when he realised that he was still hugging Mikoto's arm. He let go quickly.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to!" He said quickly. Mikoto laughed gently and kissed his forehead gently before saying,
"Go have a shower and I'll do your bandages. Now get!"
Naruto obediently climbed down, suppressing a yawn. He took off his top and scowled at the bandages covering his arms and torso. Mikoto removed them, frowning slightly as a couple of the cuts re-opened. She sighed and said,
"Go have a shower and I'll deal with them later."
The blonde nodded and moved off into the bathroom. Sasuke watched as Mikoto picked up the blooded bandages and walked out of the room, returning a couple of minutes later with new ones. She turned to Sasuke and asked,
"Can you pick out a couple of clothes for Naru-chan to wear for today?"
"Sure." Was the enthusiastic reply (Note the sarcasm lol)
She mock glared at him before turning away to Naruto who had just emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his slim waist.
Sasuke turned back to the drawers and started shifting through the clothes to find something that would look good on the blonde. Not that he really caring if the blonde looked good in his clothes…oh no, not at all…
When Mikoto had finished dealing with Naruto. Sasuke handed the blonde some ripped jeans and a 'Linkin Park' T-shirt, along with a 'Metallica' hoodie.
Naruto quickly donned the clothes given him and frowned as the jeans threatened to fall off his slim hips. Sasuke laughed slightly and handed him a studded belt, which the smaller male immediately tied around his waist.
Mikoto had already left and they heard her call up the stairs to them that their breakfast was ready.
Sasuke sighed as he made his way downstairs. He gracefully sat in a chair at the table and started on the toast in front of him. Naruto sat next to him and stared at his toast blankly. Sasuke looked at him and asked,
"What's the matter dobe? The toast isn't going to eat you."
Naruto blinked and then turned his head away, muttering,
"Well sorry if I lose myself in my thoughts, Teme."
"Just eat your toast." Sasuke sighed before returning to his own. Mikoto came in and placed a glass of orange juice in front of them both. She also gave Naruto a couple of pills to take, which he took without complaint. She smiled at them before taking their dishes out and saying,
"Go wait for me by the car."
Sasuke suppressed a growl and led Naruto out of the house and to Mikoto's car. The Uchiha family were a very rich family, so they could afford pretty much anything they wanted… even their own cars. After a few minutes of waiting, Mikoto came out and walked up to them, unlocking the car as she went. They both got in as she approached and entered on the driver's side. She put the key in the ignition and started the car. She pulled out of the drive way and sped down the road towards the centre of town. Sasuke would never admit it, but his mothers driving sometimes scared him as she was so reckless at times and acted worse then Itachi…and that was saying something.
And so, it was a great relief to Sasuke when Mikoto parked and told them to get out. He glared at her, but she ignored him and led them towards the shops. Sasuke looked at his watch. 10:17. He sighed…this was going to be a long day.
His dark haired mother took them into a men's clothes shop. She frowned, looking about at the clothes and then looked at Naruto in a calculating manner. She then dragged him to the jeans section and made a show of looking at all the jeans. Sasuke looked at Naruto lazily, who was standing slightly away from them with a lost expression, and said,
"You know, Naruto. We're here shopping for you…aren't you going to help okaa-san pick your stuff out."
Naruto cocked his head and replied,
"I don't mind what I wear…"
Mikoto glanced at the blonde and then turned back to the jean rack, occasionally picking some off the shelf and looking at them. Some she put back with a shake of her head, others she threw at Naruto, who only managed to catch them in time. When the dark haired woman seemed satisfied, she looked at Naruto and said,
"Go into the changing room and try them on. I'll go look for some tops."
Naruto looked at Sasuke, who shrugged. Naruto sighed and moved towards the changing room with Sasuke trailing behind him.
The blonde disappeared into one of the curtained rooms, leaving the raven haired teen to wait outside. Sasuke wanted to bang his head on some kind of wall…he was so bored! But, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't resist seeing his Naru-chan dress up…
Sasuke stared at the customers in the shop, having nothing else to do since Naruto was taking an age in the changing room.
Naruto then emerged from the changing room with the jeans in his arms. Sasuke turned to him expectantly and asked,
"So, which ones do you want?"
"Erm, just this one…" Naruto replied, holding up a pair of baggy black. This caused Sasuke to scowl,
"Just one?"
Naruto blinked and then nodded.
"What's wrong with the others?" Sasuke asked.
"Nothing."
"Then why only pick one? Why not three or four?"
"Oh, I can't do that! It will cost too much…"
Sasuke raised a delicate eyebrow at him as his mother arrived with an armload of T-shirts. She sighed as she placed them down next to the blonde and smiled warmly at him.
"So, which do you want dear?"
"This one." He said, showing her the pair. She frowned and said,
"You can choose some more if you wish. And don't worry about money, we have plenty. Go on."
Naruto blinked cutely again and then shrugged, picking another couple of pairs. Mikoto looked at the jeans critically and then picked out a pair of jeans that would be a tight fit on the blonde.
"I think these as well. We can't have you going round in clothes that would be able to fit Fuguko now can we dear?" Naruto giggled slightly at that comment and then his eyes went to the piles of T-shirts at his feet. There were at least ten of them.
"I've picked them out as I think you would look cute in them! Don't bother trying them on as they would all fit you nicely."
Naruto nodded absently, a little unsure of himself. Sasuke bent down and picked up the clothes that Mikoto had thrown onto the floor and helped Naruto carry them to the cash desk where they paid for them before exiting the shop.
"Right, we'll just dump these into the car and then we shall get you some underwear as well as P.Js and a suit is needed as well. Tailor made of course." Mikoto said she opened the trunk of her car and placed the bags inside. Sasuke sighed… it really was going to be a long day…
They had got underwear for Naruto just fine, but choosing P.Js was a little trickier. Naruto would have been fine with anything, but Mikoto was being picky. She eventually settled on a pair which on the top had a big picture of a chibi fox on the front. The trousers had tiny chibi foxes printed on them. She also picked out a couple of plainer pairs for him. And now it was time to get the suit for him.
Mikoto led them to a part of town that Naruto wasn't familiar with, mainly because it was the richer side that dealt with all the rich people that came to buy those kinds of things that Naruto could only dream about having. Sasuke's mother took them into a shop that has expensive looking suits displayed in the window. When they entered, there were shelves upon shelves of suits. There was also a counter with a glass case with measuring equipment inside. An old man suddenly came onto the shop floor and smiled when he saw them,
"Ah, Uchiha-san, what can I do for on this lovely day?"
Mikoto smiled and put a hand on Naruto's shoulder, attracting the man's attention to him.
"This is Naruto. We've adopted him into our family, so he needs a suit."
"Adopted him, eh? I always knew you were so kind hearted Mikoto-san. Right, let's get him measured out shall we?"
He pulled Naruto forward and took out of the case some measuring tape and proceeded to take any measurement that were needed.
"A little skinny aren't you lad?"
"He'll fill up since he's eating regularly now." Mikoto said she examined some ties for the blonde boy.
"Oh?" The old man asked, turning to her with an eyebrow raised.
"Yes, he was taken from his father due to severe child abuse."
"Aw, you poor thing. Hmm, I have some cake out back that I bought earlier. I won't be able to eat it all, but do you want some lad?"
"Er, yes please… I haven't had cake in years…" Naruto replied, smiling a little bit at the man, who chuckled and commentated,
"What a charming young lad, yes, charming indeed," The man disappeared out back and then reappeared with some cake, giving some to Naruto and Sasuke before turning to write something in a book.
"Okay, a plain black suit? Okay then… Ah, you've picked out the ties, good. Now, the suit will, of course, some with a couple of pairs of shirts for you to wear. Okay, I think we're done here!" The man said, smiling at them. Mikoto nodded back and waved the two teens out of the shop.
"Thank you so much." She said to the old man, who waved it aside.
"No, no, don't worry. It's always a pleasure to serve."
She gave one last smile and left the shop.
Before they headed home, Mikoto treated them to a rather pleasant lunch at a restaurant called 'The Lotus Garden.' She led the teens inside and they sat in the out of the way corner.
Naruto wasn't picky on what he ate, so Mikoto choose for him, and he really enjoyed it and he ate as much as he could. But he later regretted it as he felt uncomfortably bloated afterwards from eating too much, but he couldn't help it… it tasted so good!
When they arrived home, Sasuke and Naruto had the task of taking the clothes up to their room and putting them away. Naruto felt really tired and yawned widely. He would go to sleep, but Mikoto wanted to change his bandages again.
He made his way to the living room and sat impatiently as the kind hearted woman gently cleaned his wounds. Even thought she was being as gentle as possible, he still winced once or twice. When she was done, she kissed him before getting up to make dinner. Naruto lay on the sofa and fell asleep…he was so tired…
Later, Naruto felt someone shaking his shoulder gently and he looked up to see Itachi. He blinked a couple of times before sitting up.
"Dinner." Itachi said, straightening up and staring down at the blonde, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Er, thanks Ita-niisan…"
Itachi said nothing and motioned Naruto into the dining room where they were having a serving of leek soup. Naruto sighed as he started on his dinner, not really wanting to eat, but knew that Mikoto would want him to eat and she was just too sweet to say 'no' to.
When he had eaten as much as he could, he went straight to bed, even if it was 7 in the evening. He climbed into bed and settled down quickly; wearing the new night clothes that Mikoto had bought for him.
The door opened slightly and he opened his eyes to look sleepily at Sasuke before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
Naruto jerked awake and whimpered slightly. He sat up, breathing heavily and sweating slightly. He then cursed to himself for letting the nightmares get to him. He listened and felt relieved that Sasuke was still sleeping, snoring lightly. The blonde climbed out of bed and stood next to the bunk, wondering what to do… Sasuke had said that if he had any dreams, he would help Naruto… but Naruto didn't want to wake the raven haired teen as he looked so peaceful, with his dark hair framing his pale face that seemed to glow slightly in the light of the moon that streamed through the window.
Naruto bit his lip and then had an idea. He carefully climbed into Sasuke's bed so that he was lying beside the wall. He carefully went under the sheets and snuggled up to the younger Uchiha without waking him. Naruto would try to wake up before Sasuke did and return to his own bed… Sasuke would kill him if he found Naruto in his own bed.
Naruto gave a contented sigh and fell into a dreamless sleep.
There you go
How do you think Sasuke will react in the morning?
