Roommates
by Diana-san

Author's Note: For ohsoblue who suggested this: "Maybe a situation where a friend or family member comes over to visit and how Sasuke and Sakura interact in their presence?" Not sure if this was what you had in mind but it was the only thing I could think of when I read your review. Heheh.. so guys, this is definitely not a one-shot anymore. I don't know what you call it. A series of unfortunate roommate shenanigans.

04. Sleepover

"What are you doing?" Sakura exclaimed as Sasuke dumped the blond boy onto the bed. Naruto rolled over in a drunken sigh as he began to snooze against the body pillow that was on top of the bed.

"Putting the idiot to sleep," Sasuke muttered. "He just had to drink so much for his birthday…"

"Yes, but why is he being placed on our bed?" Sakura asked in exasperation.

"I'm not putting him on the white couch," Sasuke stated.

"As opposed to the bed? That we sleep on?" Sakura asked with one eyebrow raised.

Sasuke muttered silently to himself. "But the couch is white."

Sakura sighed as the two of them stared at the sleeping blond.

"Still, we shouldn't put him on our bed. What if he vomits on it?" Sakura questioned.

"You're right. I should just dump him on the floor," Sasuke said with a smirk as he leaned over to roll the blond closer to the edge of the bed.

"Sasuke," Sakura warned as she wagged her finger at him.

Sasuke sighed and went back to his original position by the post of the bed. "So now what?" he asked.

Sakura got up. "Well, I'm going back to my room to sleep. You can have fun dealing with Naruto for the night."

"You're not going to leave me with him, are you?"

She smiled. "Don't worry. Naruto won't bite."

He growled as he grabbed her wrist. "Don't go."

Sakura gently pried Sasuke's fingers off her wrist. "We're roommates Sasuke. At least in Naruto's eyes."

"I thought we were cuddle buddies," Sasuke retorted with a devious smile.

Sakura smiled back slyly as she went over to pick up her body pillow. "Well, for tonight, Naruto will be your new cuddle buddy."

She left the bedroom as she went back to her own bedroom and dropped the pillow off in the center of the bed. She tied up her hair as she went back out to go to the bathroom to get ready for bed.

As she wiped away the water from her face, Sakura walked over to Sasuke's bedroom to peek inside to see how the two were doing. Naruto was sleeping peacefully in the center of the bed but Sasuke was nowhere in sight. She glanced around the living room area as well as the kitchen, but he was in neither location.

With a suspicion in her mind, Sakura walked over to her own bedroom that was adjacent to Sasuke's. She opened the door to find Sasuke sleeping against the body pillow on her bed. She walked over closer and noticed how he flinched ever so slightly at her movement towards him.

Sakura crossed her arms. She knew that Sasuke was just pretending to be asleep but there wasn't really anything she could do about it. Naruto was on Sasuke's bed and Sasuke was on her bed. There was only the couch left and she really didn't want to sleep on the couch. She sighed as she crawled into bed and laid down beside Sasuke.

Sasuke smiled when he felt Sakura lie down next to him and quickly, he tossed the body pillow to the side as he embraced Sakura.

"You're sneaky," Sakura muttered but she couldn't help but cuddle up closer to him.

"Mm," he murmured as his lips pressed up against Sakura's forehead.

"You're in so much trouble when Naruto wakes up before us and finds us like this," she said softly as her eyes began to feel heavy with sleep.

"I doubt he can wake up earlier than us," he whispered back as he closed his eyes with Sakura in his warm embrace.


They were wrong.

"What the hell are you guys DOING?" came a loud yell from the doorway.

Sakura drowsily opened one eye as she rolled over to her side to glance at the clock. It was six in the morning. She yawned. She wasn't due for her hospital shift for at least another five hours. She was sure she asked for a new schedule for this week.

"Sakura-chan!"

Sakura's eyes flew open as she bolted upright. Naruto was standing at the doorway with a shocked expression on his face.

"Crap," was the only word that came to mind as she stared back at Naruto. Quickly, she reached out a hand to shake the body next to her so that he would wake.

Sasuke grumbled as he pulled the covers over his head.

"Sasuke…" Sakura murmured as her gaze never left Naruto's face.

Sasuke growled deeply in his sleep as he reluctantly sat up next to Sakura. "What?" he muttered, clearly annoyed for being woken up so early.

"Naruto," Sakura gulped.

Naruto rubbed his eyes as if he couldn't believe the sight before him. Sakura and Sasuke were in bed together. His Sakura and Sasuke. His two best friends. In bed. Together.

"You bastard! I told you to take Sakura as your roommate! Not sleep with her!" Naruto yelled as he lunged at Sasuke.

Sasuke reacted as he stuck out his hand to push Naruto's head back as Naruto's arms came flailing out at him in a messy claw-like reaction.

Sakura glanced back and forth between Naruto and Sasuke. "You said he wouldn't wake up before us," she hissed at Sasuke.

"I forgot that drunk people usually wake up early in the morning," Sasuke replied with a nonchalant tone.

"Sakura-chan! Y-you didn't get in willingly with him, did you?" Naruto turned to ask Sakura with worry and concern in his eyes.

"This is my room. He crawled into my bed," Sakura replied.

Sasuke smirked. "Relax Naruto. We were just having a sleepover."

"Bastard!" Naruto growled as he turned back to Sasuke with daggers in his eyes.

Sakura sighed. "Sasuke and I are dating."

"What?" Naruto asked with an incredulous gasp.

"We are dating," Sasuke repeated slowly so that Naruto could understand it better.

Naruto clutched his mouth as he made a sickened expression on his face.

"I think I'm going to be sick," Naruto replied as his face turned a little pale.

"Gee Naruto, does it freak you out that much?" Sakura asked with a frown.

"N-no. The alcohol. I think I am going to hurl-" Naruto began as he started to stagger.

Quickly, Sakura and Sasuke leapt to their feet as they got out of bed.

"No!" Sakura gasped as she watched Naruto dive headfirst into the pillows.

"You're going to need new pillows," Sasuke remarked.

Sakura groaned as she covered her eyes, not wanting to believe that her pillows were being ruined that very second. Or the fact that Naruto was using her brand new sheets to wipe his mouth.

Sasuke came up from behind her as he wrapped his arms around Sakura's waist. "It's okay," he whispered softly into her ear. "You can sleep in my room tonight."
