Mommy Ch.7 "Morning time"

It pisses off Naruto to know Sasuke wakes up at the same time as him. Well, he really doesn't know if that's true or not but they both open their doors and walk out of their room at the same time. Then to top it off, Sasuke decides he's King of the world by walking to the bathroom upstairs. The way he walks over there is like he owns the place or something. Again, this all pisses Naruto off greatly.

'He's a jerk 24/7, I swear!' he silently fumes. The thought of running to the bathroom door in hopes of beating the other male goes through Naruto's mind. However Sasuke being Sasuke knows Naruto well enough so he makes a mad dash to the bathroom door which always cause Naruto to do the same. They both grab the bathroom's poor doorknob once they reach the bathroom. Neither one of them even bother twisting the doorknob seeing as they're too busy glaring at each other to do so.

"Why can't you go downstairs? I got here first!"

"No, you didn't. I got here first, so why don't you go downstairs instead" Sasuke uses his shoulder to push Naruto away from the door but Naruto pushes right back because he refuses to let Sasuke win. Their hand start gripping the other's harder as each second passes. They're both too stubborn to compromise with each other.

Then without any warning both Naruto and Sasuke feel the doorknob twist in their hands causing them to loosen their grip slightly on the knob but not on each other. They end up falling forward onto the bathroom's tile when the door is pulled open. Both boys blink at each other in utter shock as they lay half on each other and floor.

Kakashi looks down at his feet, raising a silver eyebrow as he does so. It's not every day you see two of your students laying on the floor with each other's hand tightly clasped together while one of them is half on top of the smaller one. "Comfortable are we? Should I leave you two alone, hm?"

In a blink of an eye, both boys quickly get to their feet with a heavy blush on their cheeks. With a low mumble of "I'll use the down downstairs, idiot", Sasuke takes off to the downstairs bathroom. This of course leaves Naruto with their amuse sensei. He curses the other boy in his head slightly 'Damn bastard, leaving me here like this!'

"Look sensei, it's not what it looks like! You see, the bastard and I walked out of our rooms at the same time to use the bathroom but damn Sasuke wanted to use it first! But I got here first! Sasuke, being a jerk like always, wanted me to use the one downstairs instead of him! Can you believe that! Anyway, I-hey wait! Why am I even explaining this to you?"

"Don't ask me, you're the one who started running your mouth. Besides you two were loud enough for me to guess what went down." Kakashi says as he uses the towel in his hands to finish off drying his wet hair. Walking around Naruto and out of the bathroom, he begins to head off to his shared bedroom. As he's about to turn the doorknob, he hears "Hey Kakashi-sensei, what are you doing up so early anyway? I thought I wouldn't see you until noon or something."

With a smile behind his mask, Kakashi casually replies with a "I'm always up this early." He closes the door behind him as Naruto begins yelling "What the hell? Then why are you always so late meeting up with us!"

Naruto doesn't know if he should go kick Kakashi's ass or not. However the thought of waking up Iruka and Gaara stops him. He'll just kick Kakashi's ass later and to be sure to Sakura about this discovery. "You got lucky, stupid-late-ass-sensei."

When the bathtub is nice and full, Sasuke slips in. He relaxes his body with his chin on the edge of the bathtub and his arms dangling outside. With his fingers, Sasuke begins to trace figures with no real importance on the tile floor, feeling the cold surface as he does so.

Sighing, Sasuke submerges himself underneath the water for a few moments before bringing his head up to breath. He stares down at his reflection in the water and frowns at what he sees. Drops of water fall from his wet hair and back into the water where they miss up his reflection when they land.

'What am I even doing anymore?'

Drip

'I don't hate him…'

Drip

'I never have…'

Drip

'…even though I should…'

Drip

'Should I throw it away…?'

He brings his knees underneath his chin where he leans on them. Closing his eyes, he tries his best to not think about him anymore. He's sick and tired of it. He would rather think about Naruto!

Drip

'He's such an idiot sometimes…'

Drip

'He's so loud and cheerful too…'

Drip

'How can someone be so cheerful all the time?'

Drip

'He's like a weed or…a sunflower. They grow everywhere'

Then something occurs to him causing him to stand up in the bathtub. Grabbing a towel from a nearby shelf, he begins to dry himself off.

"I need to water my plant before leaving. I don't know how long Naruto and I are going to out on our mission today."

Someone's poking Iruka in the chest, obviously trying to wake him up. If the poking isn't enough to wake him up, he can hear two people arguing over something. He's too half asleep to hear what's going on. With a heavy sigh, Iruka opens his eyes reluctantly. The first thing he sees is Gaara sitting up and practically glued to his side. Then he notices Kakashi sitting on their bed while trying to take Ruka away from Gaara...

"Kakashi, what in the world are you doing on this bed? And for goodness sake, leave them alone" as tempting as it is to yell at the silver hair Jounin right now, Iruka's simply not in the mood. He just woke up and he doesn't want to have to deal with Kakashi's misbehavior at the moment. Not waiting for any answers he gathers Gaara and Ruka into his arms and gets off the bed and away from the Jounin.

Behind him, Kakashi says "From now on, I'll be sleeping on this bed. Is that alright with you?"

Gaara, who's clinging onto Iruka's shirt, starts protesting immediately. "No way! You no sleep with mommy!"

When he woke up this morning, he found the big meanie on the same bed with him and his mommy. Not only that but he had his fingers running through his mommy's hair. He had a weird look in his face too, well, what's shown of it anyway. He was surprise his mommy didn't feel it, especially when he tried to push the hand away from his mommy's hair. Gaara was pleased with himself when he bit down on meanie's hand causing the older man to bring his hand to eye-level to look at the damage. While he was occupied, Gaara turned his attention to his sleeping mommy. He tried his best to wake him up by poking him but it didn't work. When he's about to start another round of poking him, he feels someone trying to take Ruka from his lap.

It was the meanie and he was saying stuff like how he shouldn't be waking up his mommy. And that if he continues, he was going to take Ruka away from him. There's no way he going to allow this man to sleep in the same bed as his mommy!

"Ga-chan, I'm sure he doesn't mean it like that. We're just going to switch beds, don't worry."

"No, Gaara has it right so how about it, Iruka?" Kakashi wiggles his eyebrow suggestively.

Taking a deep breath and ignoring the blush he knows is there, Iruka calmly says "Yes Kakashi, you can have this bed while Gaara and I have that one. Now that it's settled, let's go down stairs. Sakura should be arriving pretty soon" Iruka carries Gaara and Ruka out the door, leaving Kakashi alone to stare at his ass as he walks out.

Strolling into the kitchen, Iruka sees Sasuke sitting by the table. He also notices a disgusting look he has on his face. He follows the young boy's stare and finds it's directed at Naruto who's eating…ramen…in the morning.

"Naruto because it's the first day, I'll let this pass. However from now on, you will not be eating ramen for breakfast. Eating ramen for lunch or dinner is fine but not for breakfast, okay?" Iruka pleads with the boy. He knows Naruto loves ramen but eating it for breakfast? Just no…

"What did I tell you, idiot?"

"Shut up, bastard!"

Shaking his head, Iruka settles Gaara with his little friend on a chair next to Sasuke who continues to criticize Naruto on his poor choice in breakfast. Gaara's the only one to finds it funny as he giggles with Ruka.

There's a knock at the door and Iruka finds it perfect timing. He uses it as an excuse to separate the two fighting boys. He sends Naruto to answer the door and he ignores Naruto's soft cursing directed at Sasuke. Once he's out of the kitchen, Iruka grabs Naruto's ramen and walks over to the trashcan. "I'm sorry Naruto but I want you eating healthier stuff for breakfast." He throws it away and proceeds to make a healthier breakfast for the occupants in the house.

"Do you like oatmeal, Sasuke?"

It's been a long time since he's had oatmeal for breakfast so when Iruka asks him, he nods his head without really thinking about it. "Yes, Iruka-sensei, I do like oatmeal. By any chance do you have honey?"

Chuckling at the question, Iruka opens the pantry door and brings out a bottle. He walks over to the table and places it down in front of Sasuke. "Of course I do! What's oatmeal without some honey, hm?" Sasuke rewards Iruka with a half-smile for his answer.

Meanwhile Gaara looks at his mommy with confusion playing in his eyes. Curiosity causes him to ask "Mommy, me and Ruka want to know if oatmeal tastes good or if it tastes yucky."

Iruka pauses his measuring to turn his head towards Gaara and smile. "Not only does it taste good but it's health for you too!"

"What's the honey for then, mommy? I have to put honey in tasty oatmeal?"

"Well, some people like to add things to their oatmeal. Like for example, Sasuke and I like honey with ours. Others may like strawberries, slice peaches, or cinnamon in theirs. It just really depends on the person and what they like."

Gaara looks thoughtful before nodding his head to Ruka. "If mommy and Sasuke like honey in theirs, then me and Ruka want to try some with ours" he says happily, hugging Ruka to his chest.

Sasuke grabs the bottle and twists off the cap. Looking at Gaara, Sasuke says "Here, give me your finger."

Blinking, Gaara sticks out his index finger with his palm facing up towards the older boy. Sasuke squeezes the bottle gently so only a little comes out. He's pretty sure Iruka won't appreciate the mess because honey can get really sticky. Once a drop of honey is on Gaara's little finger, Sasuke closes the bottle and places it back on the table. "Try it."

Glancing at his mommy, who gives him an encouraging smile, Gaara licks his finger the honey is on. A moment passes before Gaara looks up at them with a huge smile. "Yummy!"

"What's yummy?" Iruka and Sasuke turn around to look at the three newcomers walking into the kitchen. Sakura has her eyebrow rise as she makes her way to where Iruka's standing and places a basket next to him.

Pointing to the bottle of honey, Gaara cheerfully shouts "Honey is yummy! Try some, try some!"

"Hey Gaara, do you want to know where honey really comes from?"

"Kakashi, stop it and get over here. I don't trust you at the table."

"You don't have to be so blunt, Iruka" Kakashi says fake hurt.

"When it comes to you, Kakashi, I do. By the way good morning, Sakura!"

"Ah, good morning Iruka-sensei, Sasuke, Gaara, and I can't forget about Ruka." Sakura giggles as she says Ruka's name. She just couldn't help it! It was so cute of Gaara to name his stuff dolphin after Iruka.

As Kakashi makes his way over to Iruka, he reaches out to Ruka like he was going to take it away. He grins when he sees Gaara glaring at him and protectively holding onto his stuff friend.

Besides Gaara, Sasuke shakes his head at how childish his sensei is acting. Actually, Sasuke changes his mind and decides his sensei is acting stupid. He's glad when Iruka whacks his sensei in the back of head as he continues to talk with Sakura.

"If you don't mind me asking, Sakura, what's in the basket?"

"Oh, my mom made some muffins for you, Iruka-sensei!"

"Really, well, tell her I said 'thank you' for me."

"No problem!"

Meanwhile Naruto stands there looking at the spot where his bowl of ramen is supposed to be at. He feels like he's going to have a heart attack any moment if his precious bowl of holiness doesn't show up. 'Where is it? I left it right here!' So he asks the one person who he's sure knows the whereabouts of his ramen. "Iruka-sensei! I can't find my ramen!"

The person in question pales a little. How is he supposed to tell Naruto he wants him to eat healthier food so he kinda of threw away his bowl of ramen? He's about to tell Naruto his reasoning but Sasuke beats him to it. "That's because I threw it away in the trash. Besides Iruka-sensei is making oatmeal so calm down and close your mouth already?"

The whole kitchen falls into a silence as they all stare at the furious blond who looks like he's going to pop. "SASUKE, YOU BASTARD!" can be heard throughout the entire village.

Throughout breakfast, Iruka keeps on telling Naruto he's the one who threw away his ramen. However Sasuke continues to tell Iruka he doesn't have cover up for him. But it doesn't matter to Naruto either away because in his mind, he blames Sasuke for his thrown away ramen. This, of course, causes Sakura to shout at Naruto that Sasuke probably did it for a good reason so instead of blaming him, he should be thanking him. Naruto probably would have choked on oatmeal at Sakura's word if it wasn't for Kakashi patting his back. Gaara and Ruka just sit there, pouring tones of honey into their bowl which makes Iruka switch bowls so Gaara doesn't get a sugar high. Iruka doesn't know if Gaara can get a sugar high but he doesn't want to find out especially since they're shopping today.

"I still don't see how ramen isn't breakfast material" Naruto says as he sulks for his fallen love.
