AN: YOSH! IM back with another chappie! Enjoy my dears… and let me know what you think!
He woke up alone, covered completely by warmth. He smiled slightly, still only half asleep before he realized how ridiculous he was being.
The hospital beds were comfortable, but nowhere near this warm. Sasuke decided he missed being so very warm, never having much of it to begin with. He stretched lazily, not wanting to get out just yet. In fact, he decided that he wanted to stay there forever, yes, that would do well.
He knew that Naruto had gotten up quite some time before he did, because the bed was cold on the other side. He inhaled deeply, filling his nostrils with the sweet scent of Naruto. It was everywhere around him, which was obvious since it was his room still… he would miss the smell when he moved to his room.
His room…
The very idea of that sounded comical to him… and he realized that it wouldn't smell as nice…
Speaking of smell, however… there was the most delicious scent wafting into the bedroom which, he now noticed had its doors wide open. Sasuke had figured Naruto needed to get to work, which was why he wasn't with him now sleeping. He realized that the blonde was in fact making breakfast. He purred as the scent intensified… deciding to go hunting.
XXxxXX
Naruto woke up with a slight shudder, tingling in his limbs alarming him a bit. He didn't know what was going on, and quite frankly, wasn't used to waking up with someone beside him… Someone who's ass was right on his swollen dick.
It didn't take too long for him to figure out what had happened. He brought the covers up a bit, and peeked inside. Sure enough, there was his straining erection, happily half-sandwiched between Sasuke's ass cheeks. He cursed himself for nor remembering to wear anything to bed. After the shower, when Sasuke asked him to stay, he had gotten in without a second thought, forgetting that sleeping naked was fine when he was alone, not with company.
Well… he'd never forget that lesson again… His pajama bottoms were black silk. He had bought them once because he felt like he should have something like that on hand. They were a bit loose on the kit, but silk had a tendency to stick close to skin, and now here was Sasuke's, clad in it, rendering it almost completely useless against his erection.
He hissed as Sasuke moved in his sleep, unconsciously massaging him further. He clenched his teeth as he moved slightly away from him, feeling himself ready to blow. Frozen in place, he took deep breaths, trying to steady his racing mind and painfully pulsing dick.
He couldn't ponder the awkward situation for too long, afraid that his squirming might wake up said ass, and he quickly made his way out of the warmth he so desperately wanted to stay in.
One last look at Sasuke had him stop in his tracks. The bed was large for even himself, he knew, but kit was curled up in a fetal position right in the middle, somehow… it made him look even smaller, his curtain of black hair fanning across the pillows and covering most of his face.
He supposed Sasuke looked unkept. The hospitals job wasn't to pamper its patients. He knew that something had to be done about his look. Clothes, accessories, he needed all that set up today. He added a trip to the hairdressers as a mental tag on.
After a quick (very cold) shower, Naruto emerged somewhat more composed. Moving right along to dress quickly and make them something to eat.
That was where he was now, happily flipping pancakes and congratulating himself in a uberly manly voice when he got it right. A song on the radio was playing some upbeat pop and Naruto unconsciously started to choreograph his moves to fit the beat. Which is why, he supposed he looked like a complete tool when he realized he was being watched.
He turned his head slightly, waiting for the side to turn a golden brown colour before flipping.
"Morning"
Sasuke opted out of saying anything as he closed his eyes and inhaled deeply.
He was leaning on the side of the entrance, one arm on his hip, another resting on his head, absently scratching his ear.
"help yourself to some coffee" Naruto nudged his head in the direction of the counter, where a cylinder shaped glass was standing, filled with black liquid.
"Isnt this supposed to be done by brewing?" Sasuke pointed out as he approached the table, looking at the glass suspiciously.
"The French do it this way… its called, uncreatively might I add, the French press…"
"So…"
"So" Naruto stopped flipping and, putting the heated pan aside, walked up behind Sasuke. "You take this," he took ahold of the metal bar that was sticking out of the lid and pressed. "you press down to strain away the dregs, and et voila! You got yourself strong, fresh coffee…what?" He looked at Sasuke as the latter threw him an amused look. "I like my morning coffee strong!"
"Did I say anything?"
"You implied it."
"You have no way of knowing that."
"I know."
"too cocky you are…"
That had Naruto flashing himself a mental image of the goings on of the early morning. He shook his head and smirked. "That I am…"
They ate in relative peace, the radio providing a soothing background to the silent kitchen. Sasuke had never eaten anything quite so delicious in his life. He had not many pleasant memories of before… and Naruto's pancakes were heavenly, light, fat and fluffy, they melted in te mouth, combined with maple syrup, Sasuke realizes that he didn't need anything to be happy ever again.
Naruto ate watching Sasuke from the corner of his eye. He saw that he was enjoying the food, which gladdened him, never having to cook for anyone but himself, he was glad he didn't disappoint.
Sasuke wolfed down his share quickly, licking at the fork to get the last of the syrup off. He smiled at how his minstrations lit up a little lamp inside him. He was like a child that needed caring for.
These thoughts were insane, Naruto wasn't much older than the kit, and here he was thinking of him as a kid… still.. he supposed that was all the fault of his profession, making him feel older than he actually was.
XXxxXX
Sasuke noticed Naruto watching him as he finished eating and grabbed for his coffee. The drink turned out to be delicious and indeed, it tasted much better than what he was used to.. which was not much to begin with.
"I stand corrected on this" the spoke as he took a sip and sighed in happiness, "you're right, this is delicious."
Naruto inclined his head in silent thanks as he too, took a large sip from his cup.
They smiled at each other, mood perfectly content. The morning started off good, quiet and unbusy, in other words, the complete opposite of what their day was going to be.
"we need stuff." Naruto finally piped in, humming in anticipation.
"stuff?" Sasuke sounded hesitant. Naruto didn't blame him, "stuff" was a very general term for what he had planned, but really? Was he supposed to explain in point form?
"Your stuff… Im not bothering with the list, suffice to say you need a lot.. and we're getting it all today."
He peeked at Sasuke's startled face.
"You cant keep using my stuff… it doesn't fit you, and besides, your room isn't complete… we need to take care of that."
Sasuke was about to protest, had opened his mouth to do just that in fact, when a loud booming at the door jostled him from what he was about to say.
Naruto took the opportunity to dip. He hurried towards the door, opening it wide and staring at the intruder.
She walked right past him and into the kitchen, cocking her hip and staring hard at Sasuke.
"WHAT are you doing out of bed?" She thundered, scaring the raven a bit.
Sasuke stiffened under the onslaught. She was short, and he supposed her temper didn't extend far beyond her actual height.
"Sakura…" Naruto whined behind her, following her in and standing beside Sasuke to face her.
"Im here to check on a patient who underwent a rather serious surgery not so long ago, or have you forgotten?" She pointed to Sasuke's still bandaged abdomen.
"Seriously!" she breathed fire on Naruto again. "I can't let you alone with him for twenty four hours without you screwing up majestically!"
Naruto was a bit taken with the anger she lavished him with. Then again…. "hey Sakura…" his voice changed from surprised to singsong as his evil smile returned.
Sauske watched the exchange with interest. He could tell that Naruto had something on her already. It was the look he received in the hospital when he learned he was drugged for two weeks.
"Does baa-chan know you're here…?" he asked sweetly, pinning her with an innocent expression when she stuttered.
"leave Tsunade out of this!"
"But does she….?" Naruto got up and lazily walked up to her, stalking around like a cat of prey claims its victim.
Sakura was shaking with rage. "he's my patient! I told Tsunade that you wouldn't be able to take good care of him! You're reckless!"
Naruto feinted hurt. "You wound me… Sakura-chan." He grabbed at his heart pouting. "Kit is perfectly fine, almost all healed and enjoying himself quite well ne?" He looked over to Sasuke, who nodded at Sakura confirming.
She was not pleased in the least. Naruto looked at his watch pointedly. "Looks like you're late for work my dear… should I arrange a cab to pick you up?"
Sakura turned from him, green eyes flashing alarmingly. She picked up Naruto's coffee cup and downed it in one go. Ignoring his whines of protest before she turned back to him smiling.
"No tanks, Ill walk." And with another wave at them, and a promise to return, she was gone.
"And I promise that by the time she does, im going to have new locks put in." Naruto muttered to himself more than to Sasuke.
"You gave her the key?" Sasuke asked him with wide eyes.
"Couldn't be helped… there was something… unimportant anyways… but yes, she never gave them back and I'm sure had I NOT opened the door to let her in, she would have done so herself."
Sasuke snorted. "that's suicidal."
Naruto agreed grimly.
"Allright then" the blonde looked at Sasuke with renewed vogor. "You go wash up and Ill do the dishes… were going out."
AN: A normal morning if there ever was one! LOL reviews peeps!
