"Oh maaan! Why do I have to be the one stuck up here to clean up?" Naruto complained.

"Because it's your birthday, dumbass!" Sasuke smirked. "Come on. We don't have time to waste complaining. You can start wiping the cream off the floor. I will start moping." Sasuke told him.

"Ughh.." Naruto said, looking at the mentioned floor. This was going to be a hell of a work.. He started wiping the floor anyway, while Sasuke went to get a mop and a bucket of water.

"They should ban cakes.. It's too much to clean up." Naruto muttered, while at his tedious job.

"Oh? Alright then, we will just make you cut vegetables next birthday." Sasuke informed him, busy moping after Naruto.

"What! I hate vegetables. I'll make you eat them all then. Hehe.." Naruto chuckled, imagining a carrot choked Sasuke.

"Dream on, dobe. You can't even leave a smear of tomato juice on my forehead!" Sasuke advised him arrogantly, tapping his forehead.

"Arrogant bastard! Let us see about that." Naruto yelled, picking up some cream from the floor and throwing at his face. Sasuke quickly dodged it. Now Naruto was really pissed off.

"Teme..!" He shouted, grabbing a pile of colourful paper and making a ball out of it.

"Naruto.. We are cleaning up, you didn't forget that, did you?" Sasuke warned.

"To hell with cleaning!" Naruto yelled as he threw the ball with all the force he could muster at Sasuke. It hit him square on the face, leaving his eyes glinting dangerously.

Naruto guffawed. "Ah! Now look who is angry!" The next thing he knew, a bucket of water was turned upside down above him. He glared at Sasuke, soaking all over. Now this was the limit.

"Sasuke! You asshole! Look what you did now!" Naruto yelled, jumping to throw a punch at his stomach.

"Wow.. Now you actually stink less!" Sasuke retorted, grabbing his fist and throwing him to his side.

"I'll make you stink for real!" Naruto shouted, now enraged.

After a hell of a fight, Sasuke was covered head to heels in cream, with graffiti stuck all over it, and was clutching his leg in pain. Naruto meanwhile, looked as if he had taken a cream bath with his clothes on and his eyes were blue-black. Both were gasping for breath, and eyed each other suspiciously.

"Hehe.. That was fun!" Naruto grinned.

"Yeah.. But let us compromise now. Or we will never get to sleep." Sasuke suggested.

"You got it!" Naruto grinned.

"Phew! Finally! It's spotless now." Naruto stood with his hands on his hips, studying the floor.

"Alright." Sasuke said, satisfied.

"I'm gonna take a shower and sleep. *Yawn* I've never felt sooo tired." Naruto took a shower and changed into the spare clothes Sasuke had given. He flopped into the bed and was asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Sasuke, coming back from the shower, saw Naruto sprawled across his bed.

"Naruto! Move aside!" Sasuke shouted at him. Naruto was too busy sleeping to notice. So Sasuke pushed him to a side and gladly fell into the bed. He was almost asleep when he heard Naruto's muttering. "S-Sakura-chan! Glbguugbu..." Suddenly, a hand fell over him and held him tight. "Iglubyou. Sakrachang." Naruto mumbled. Sasuke was too sleepy to retort. So he was almost asleep again, when the idiot started mumbling his name. "Saske.. Camwebebezfrnz.." Sasuke pondered over it for a while in half-consciousness. "We yare alzhrdy bezfrnz, idyut.." Sasuke murmured, as sleep took him over.

Unseen by him, a happy tear ran down the corner of Naruto's wide awake eyes as he smiled.
