Chapter Four: Some Green-minded Guests and a Chibified Naruto in an Apron
Sasuke awoke as the rays of sunlight hit his pale face, making him squint as he looks sideways to his alarm clock perched on top of his bedside table.
5:30 am.
He slowly stands up as his eyes adjust to the bright light invading his dark room. He picks up some random clothes in his cabinet, not even bothering to decide what to wear. He, then, heads to the bathroom outside his room to change.
He is going to train this morning and nothing can stop him from doing so. He has slack off too much these past few days and he's going to make up for it. He padded slowly across the hall to the door pausing just a few seconds to check on his blonde charge. After seeing that his young charge is still asleep, he heads to his training grounds.
"Stambiram, stabiridam,
Starida-bida-bida-bididam,
Staridam, stabiridam,
Starida-dam-dam
Stambiram, stabiridam,
Starida-bida-bida-bididam,
Stariran, stabiridam,
Dabirida-bida-dam-dam"
Naruto starts singing while getting their breakfast ready. He was about to wash the pot where he will cook the soup when he remembered something.
'I need to wear an apron so as not to spoil my beautifully-made chibified orange outfit.'
He thought as he leaves the kitchen. Naruto, then, continues singing his song at the top of his voice, echoing loudly along the empty hallways of Uchiha Sasuke's apartment. He storms off to a secluded room where Sasuke keeps some outfits for cooking. As he entered the room, he quickly scanned the room looking for a cabinet of some sort. As he did so, he spotted a large chest with the Uchiha emblem on it at the far side corner of the room.
'Aha!'
He smiled triumphantly as he looked inside the chest, having just located an apron. The only problem is…
'What the f-! Apron… pink!'
He quickly skimmed through all the clothes inside the chest and found much to his horror…
'All of the clothes here are for girls!'
So much for his search.
'Oh never mind. Nobody's here to see, anyway.'
He scooped the pink apron lying innocently on the floor and made his way back to the kitchen, scowling. On his way back to the kitchen, he managed to put the annoying apron on. He sets the rice cooker and began his trek to one of the cupboards. He found one mop and a pail as he opened the cupboard. His grin widened.
'Perfect.'
He'd see to it that Sasuke wouldn't be able to forget his babysitting mission right after he went back to his normal size. He'd definitely make sure of it. And so, his 'newest mission' began.
An irritated and exhausted Sasuke make his way back to his apartment. Irritated due to a certain fan girl of his that keeps on bugging him while he trains. He doesn't know how that girl found out where his training area was and made a mental note to himself to change his training grounds. He fished for his keys inside his pocket and turned the knob only to find himself gaping; gaping at a certain blonde slash chibified ninja standing in the middle of his living room, cleaning.
Naruto took notice of a door opening. But he didn't bother to look up as he was busy cleaning the floor. And when he finally noticed that the intruder didn't step inside the apartment, he looked up with a scowl. Only to find himself locked in Sasuke's gaze.
"Oi! What are you staring at, teme?" he said, masking his horror.
"Hn." Sasuke replied, gaining his composure.
"I already cooked breakfast. And I want to eat it before it gets too cold."
"Hn. I'm taking a shower."
"Make it fast, then!"
"Hai, dobe-chan." Sasuke smirked as he put an emphasis on his nickname for Naruto.
"WHAT?" Naruto said, deranged.
"Nothing." Sasuke replied, smirking all the way to the bathroom.
Having finished cleaning the bastard's apartment, Naruto plopped himself on the chair. He cursed Sasuke for taking such a time to go back. He heard a soft 'click' and turned his head towards the noise, only to see Sasuke standing at the doorway of the dining room.
'He seems to be hiding something.' Naruto thought, suspiciously eyeing Sasuke's hand.
"What?" Sasuke asked.
"Come on! Let's eat!"
Both of them ate in silence. Well, silent in terms of conversation; as neither one of them knows what to say to the other. But we all know about Naruto's loud… err… way of eating.
As they finished their 'breakfast', Naruto stood up and extends his small hand at Sasuke's direction.
"Your plate." was all he said.
Sasuke eyed Naruto suspiciously before giving Naruto his plate.
He took a shower after washing the dishes and borrowed some of Sasuke's smaller clothes. He doesn't have anything to wear at the moment because all of his chibi outfits are dirty. And he didn't forget the agonizing moment of asking Sasuke for some of his clothes.
"Uh… Sasuke, can I borrow some of your smaller clothes? I don't have any clean clothes to wear at the moment," he said.
"Why don't you just stick to the pink apron, dobe-chan? It looks good on you." Sasuke replied with a smirk.
"Why you-!" He made a dash at Sasuke's direction but Sasuke throws some clothes directly on his face.
"Bastard." He said as he made his way to the bathroom.
And as the day wore on, Naruto would find himself hearing strange noises such as the 'click' sound ever so often. Although he doesn't know what was making the noise, he swore it was directed at him. But before the day finally comes to an end, the sound of a doorbell was heard.
Sasuke opened the door with his usual scowl.
Lo and behold!
Their only girl teammate, Haruno Sakura, and their perverted mentor, Hatake Kakashi, are standing there.
"Yo!" Kakashi said.
"What are you doing here?" Naruto suddenly appeared beside Sasuke.
"Visiting our comrades, of course." Kakashi answered.
"Can we come in, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked.
"Hn."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes at their teacher but he let them in, nonetheless. And as they enter the living room, Naruto dashed towards the kitchen to prepare something. And it turned out that Naruto prepared some green tea for them which he carefully carried to the coffee table. However, before he can place the tray on the table, Sasuke's hand shot out of nowhere and takes the tray from him.
"Ho! Ho! What do we have here?" Kakashi said, eyes glinting with malice.
"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked, deadpan.
"Ohhh… denial will get you nowhere! Don't try to deny it, Sasuke-kun!" Kakashi said mischievously.
"Deny what?"
"You know what I'm talk–" Kakashi never finished his sentence for a sudden gasp escaped Sakura's lips. All whipped their heads at her direction.
"What's the matter, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked worriedly. But he couldn't ignore the fact that it was he who made Sakura gasp. The only problem is he doesn't know why.
Sakura's eyes were as big as saucers. And her fingers kept pointing at Naruto.
"Oi dobe, what did you do to her?"
"Excuse me! I did nothing!"
"What's the matter, Sakura?"
"He- Naruto…" Sakura trailed off.
"What about him?" Kakashi asked the horrified girl.
"He's wearing Sasuke's shirt!" Sakura shrieked.
All but Sakura's face fell.
"It's only a shirt!" Naruto said, finally comprehending why Sakura was staring at him.
"No! It has… it has… It has an Uchiha emblem on it!"
"So?"
"So –" Sakura tried to explain but was cut off by their teacher.
"It means Sasuke has finally found a lover!" Kakashi said cheerfully.
The rest of them fell into an awkward silence as Sasuke glared at Kakashi. But Kakashi is unfazed by Sasuke's death glare, so he continued his speech.
"And it's only right for him to give his lover something with an Uchiha emblem on it. We should celebrate it!"
Sasuke and Sakura looked ready to kill while Naruto… well, we know Naruto. He doesn't get what Kakashi is saying.
"Err… but we've got some problem, Sasuke-kun." Kakashi continued.
"What?" Sasuke's voice was laced with venom.
"How can you now fulfill your dream of restoring the Uchiha clan if you have a boy for a lover?"
"Stop this nonsense, will you!" Sasuke shouted at Kakashi.
"What is he talking about, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked Sakura. Sakura looked at him in incredulity.
"You don't know?" Sakura asked. Sasuke and Kakashi finally stopped their argument after knowing that Naruto doesn't have a single clue on what they're arguing about.
"Well? What is it?" Naruto asked again.
Silence.
"Will someone please enlighten me?"
"He's implying that you and Sasuke-kun have a relationship." Sakura exasperatedly said.
"NANI?"

So here I am, updating this fic.
