'Ahh crap, I'm going to be late to the meeting.' Tsunade thought. 'Why didn't I tell them sooner that there wasn't going to be detention today?'
Tsunade was running rather late due to a fight that had broken out among some of the students right before school had ended.
"They'd better be here." Tsunade spoke out loud as she approached the door to the detention classroom. As she got nearer, she noticed that the lights were still out in the classroom. 'Hmm, that's odd,' she thought. She stopped by the door and looked inside through the little glass window and upon hearing a small gasp coming from the corner turned her head to look into the secluded spot, and gasped quietly. There, quite oblivious to the fact that they were being watched, were Sasuke and Naruto, firmly lip locked onto each other. She turned the knob and slammed the door open, causing both boys to flinch visibly and break apart, Naruto falling on the floor in the process.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" Tsuande boomed at the pair.
"Hah, umm, w-w-we, were just umm…" Naruto was blushing fiercely and was still sitting on the floor, too shocked to get up. Sasuke was still sitting on his chair, looking slightly alarmed. 'This isn't how I wanted the staff to find out!' Sasuke thought desperately.
"Explain yourselves! Or so help me God you will be expelled from this school!" Tsunade yelled.
"Expelled?" Naruto said in a quiet voice, "Really?"
Tsunade huffed a little before actually looking down at the two boys in the corner. Sasuke looked slightly defiant, but also shocked at the intrusion, while Naruto just looked scared out of his mind. Tsunade sighed heavily before continuing, "No, you won't be expelled. However if I don't get some information then you will be getting even more detentions, and by that I mean for the rest of the year!" Tsunade looked pointedly at the two boys who were now exchanging hesitant glances with each other as if deciding who would speak first. "Well? I'm waiting."
"What exactly do you mean by 'explain'?" Sasuke asked.
"This would not be the time to be arrogant, Uchiha."
"I'm not. I actually would appreciate clarification."
Tsunade huffed loudly before saying, "By 'explain,' I mean explain exactly what you two were doing in here."
Sasuke lifted an eyebrow. "Isn't it obvious?"
Tsunade's jaw dropped just a little. 'Now he's being arrogant,' she thought. "What do you mean, 'obvious'?!"
"I mean, is there really any need for clarification? We were kissing. There isn't really much clarification needed for that."
"Sasuke, can you stop giving her attitude? It's making her angrier." Naruto said from the floor.
"It's in my nature to have an attitude."
"Well then let me speak." Naruto suggested.
"Fine, go ahead."
Naruto looked back up at Tsunade, who was now standing with her arms crossed, waiting for their side conversation to stop.
"Maybe I should clarify what I meant by explaining again. I meant, what were you," Tsunade pointed at Naruto, "doing kissing him?" and then pointed at Sasuke.
"Tsunade-sama, Sasuke and I are... well... we're kind of... dating." Naruto said finally.
"You're what?!"
"Dating."
Tsunade looked back and forth between the two boys, not believing what she had just heard. Naruto was looking up at her innocently, blue eyes wide, while Sasuke smirked into his hand. "I need to sit down." Tsuande searched for a chair and plopped into the nearest one, setting her head in her hands. "I can't believe this," she mumbled quietly. She peeked through her fingers to see Sasuke helping Naruto off the floor. 'He actually looks happy,' Tsunade thought.
"Umm, Tsunade-sama? Have you decided what our punishment is?" Naruto asked quietly.
"I don't know. In all my years of teaching and being the head of this school I have never come across anything like this before. Well, at least not between students." Sasuke and Naruto exchanged a puzzled look. "I really don't know." It was quiet for a moment before she made her decision. "I don't think I'll do anything."
"Huh?" Naruto asked, quite surprised.
"I don't think I'll do anything except this. If I ever catch you two doing anything like this again, it will be another detention, one for every offence. Are we clear?"
"Yes," both boys replied, Naruto tacking on, "We won't do anything like this at school again."
"Good." Tsunade slowly stood up and straightened out her clothes, getting ready to leave and get to her meeting. She started walking out the door before turning and saying, "Oh yeah, detention has been canceled for today only. You'll make it up with another day."
"Yes ma'am." Naruto said humbly.
Tsunade nodded to both boys before exciting the classroom, walking quickly to her destination. Both boys waited until the sound of her steps had faded to nothing before they relaxed.
"She scares me," Naruto muttered, still looking out the door where the principal had exited.
"She's just short -tempered. Don't let her intimidate you."
Naruto smiled and turned towards the raven. "Too late."
Sasuke chuckled quietly and shook his head. Naruto had wild mood swings, that was for sure. "So what do you want to do?" he asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, we could go to my house, we could go to your house, we could go shopping to get something to eat, (Naruto's eyes lit up), or anything else really that you want to do."
"Here's what I think we should do. First, we should stop by my apartment so that I can get clothes and things like that, then we should go to the store, and then head to your house. Sound good?"
"Sure."
"Okay then!" Naruto flashed one of his famous grins before exiting the room quickly.
"Hey, Naruto! Wait up!"
Naruto laughed loudly and took off running down the hall, trying to beat the raven to the door. Sasuke caught up quickly and both boys were head to head for a ways before Sasuke had a final burst of speed through the doors, beating the blonde by a second. They both shot out the doors and over to the grassy area in front of the school, collapsing on the soft ground and breathing heavily.
Naruto laughed happily before saying breathlessly, "That was fun!"
Sasuke smiled and answered, "Yes it was, but that still doesn't change the fact that I beat you!"
"Pssh, by like, one second. That's not that astounding."
"True. Since you don't run that fast anyway." Sasuke laughed as he dodged a playful punch from Naruto.
They lay there in silence for a second, catching their breath and replaying the race through the school in their minds. Sasuke sat up and crossed his legs, turning so he faced the blonde.
"Do you want to get going?" Naruto asked as he sat up too.
"Not until I get my reward," Sasuke replied slyly.
"Reward? What reward?"
"I don't get anything for winning?"
"Ah, that's lame." Naruto paused before asking suspiciously, "What exactly did you have in mind?"
"A kiss."
Naruto frowned deeply, pulling his chin in. "Not here!"
"Why not? There isn't anyone around."
"That's what I said in the classroom and look where that got us!"
"Well then, this is payback for forcing us into that awkward situation," Sasuke replied.
"Hmph. Fine. But make it quick." Naruto leaned forward and rested his chin on his hands, closing his eyes and puckering his lips mockingly.
Sasuke chuckled and said quietly, "You make this too fun." He got up on his knees and, placing both of his hands on either side of Naruto's head, lifted it up.
"Huh?" Naruto managed to say right before Sasuke kissed him. Sasuke licked along the blonde's lips, tracing them with his tongue, making Naruto want the kiss to last. Naruto opened his mouth to the invitation only to have Sasuke withdraw, their lips separating with a slight 'pop!'
Naruto huffed, and stuck out his lip angrily. "What was that for?!"
"I thought you didn't want to do that in public," Sasuke said innocently.
"You're such a jerk!" Naruto crossed his arms across his chest and glared at the other boy.
"I'm sorry Naru. I'm a terrible person." Sasuke tried to hide the smile that was still lingering on his lips.
"Right, and that would be why you're still smiling like a lunatic baboon."
"I can't help it! You look cute when you pout."
Naruto looked at Sasuke exasperatedly. "You're the worst." He sighed heavily before standing up and starting to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Sasuke asked, jumping up and following the blonde.
"Well, I'd like to get some of my own clothes if that's all right with you," Naruto said sarcastically.
"Alright. Do just want to meet me back at my house? I could go get the food and start making it while you get your stuff."
"Okay." Naruto tensed and was getting ready to sprint to his house when Sasuke caught his wrist. He slid his hand down to Naruto's and squeezed it gently before letting it go and taking off towards the store. Naruto smiled happily and sprinted towards his apartment.
After several minutes of running, Naruto arrived at his apartment building. He stopped in front and looked at the familiar view, realizing just how much he despised the place. 'I wonder if I'll ever have to live here again,' he pondered.
He walked up the stairs and into the little apartment, rushing around gathering the things that he would need for tomorrow. 'I shouldn't grab too much stuff before we decide exactly what is going to happen between us,' Naruto thought. He found a duffel bag and shoved the bits and pieces into it, not caring if it was neat. 'I want to get back to Sasuke as soon as possible,' he thought.
Naruto suddenly stopped as the thought registered. 'Am I really that dependent on him?' Then he thought, 'Do I mind?' He smiled and continued gathering his things. "No, I don't mind at all."
'I have no idea what Naruto likes to eat other than ramen,' Sasuke thought as he stared at the various food on the shelves in front of him. 'Maybe he's just a black pit that eats anything. That would make this so much easier. Now that I think about it, the way that Naruto eats would suggest as much.' He continued staring silently at the food. 'I should stock up before I --'
"SASUKE!" shouted an excited, girly voice from down the row of food.
Sasuke slowly turned to face the voice, inwardly groaning when he saw the shock of pink hair.
"Hello Sakura," he said coldly.
"Whacha' doin'?" she asked sweetly, completely ignoring the cold shoulder.
"Shopping."
"Well, I realize that! What are you shopping for?"
"Food."
Sakura sighed, "I know that too!"
"Well then, where's the problem?"
"Problem? I didn't know we had one."
Now it was Sasuke's turn to sigh. "Sakura, I'm kind of in a hurry, so is there something you needed to tell me?"
"Huh? Oh, not really…" She watched silently as Sasuke grabbed almost everything on the shelf, dropping it unceremoniously into his cart. "You seem to be getting a lot of food."
"I happen to have someone staying at my house," Sasuke said pointedly, trying to remind her of Naruto and himself.
"Oh." Sakura cheeks pinked a little when she realized what this meant.
"Yeah."
Sakura coughed awkwardly and said, "Well, I guess I'll see you at school, Sasuke."
"Right. Yeah. See you at school."
Sakura turned dejectedly around and walked slowly down the aisle.
"And Sakura?"
She turned hurriedly around, looking hopeful. "Yeah?"
"Thank you for dropping the subject."
She slumped visibly. "No problem. But, umm, that picture."
"Yes?"
"I kind of showed it to a lot of people."
Sasuke sighed heavily before saying, "It was to be expected."
"Alright. That's it. Bye."
"Good bye."
This time Sasuke didn't call her back. 'Girls are so troublesome,' Sasuke thought. 'I wonder where the ramen is?'
Naruto sprinted all the way to Sasuke's house, barged in the door, ran into the kitchen, threw his bag on the table, and then pounced on Sasuke all in a matter of seconds. Sasuke grunted a little as they both hit the floor, hard.
"I'm guessing you missed me?" Sasuke asked, slightly breathless.
Naruto nuzzled his head into Sasuke's chest, squeezing his arms around Sasuke tightly.
Sasuke chuckled and wrapped his own arms around the blonde, letting Naruto calm down. Before long, Naruto's head snapped up.
"Is that ramen?" Naruto felt Sasuke shake beneath him as he tried to suppress his fit of laughter. "What?" the blonde asked indignantly.
"You are so ADD."
"Am not!" Naruto paused. "But seriously, is that ramen?"
"Ugh! Yes, Naruto, it's ramen. Happy now?"
"I was already happy. But yes, now that you mention it the ramen did make everything better."
"That makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Now can you get off me?"
"Yeah, sorry." Naruto grinned widely, shuffling off of the raven.
"Thank you," Sasuke said as he stood up, brushing off his clothes.
Naruto bounced over to the counter and hopped up, swinging his legs happily. "What kind of ramen is it?" he asked.
"Umm, chicken."
"Yum!"
"I could have said anything and you still would have said yum, right?"
"Yep!"
"That's what I thought."
"When'll it be done?"
"A few minutes."
"Alright."
"Can I have a proper hello?" Sasuke asked.
"Huh? Oh! Yeah, but I'm not getting down."
"Fine with me." Sasuke smiled and walked over to the blonde, wrapping his arms around his waist. Naruto smiled widely again before resting his arms on Sasuke's shoulders, linking his fingers together. They came together and kissed happily, Naruto still grinning. After a quick second, Sasuke started to pull away, needing to stir the ramen but Naruto pulled him back, locking his arms around the raven's neck Now it was Sasuke's turn to smile. 'I've created a monster,' he thought sarcastically.
Sasuke slipped his tongue into Naruto's mouth, deepening their kiss. Naruto reacted instantly, joining his tongue with the raven's. Sasuke slipped his hand under the blonde's shirt, making him gasp and shiver when Sasuke's cold hand touched his bare skin. 'Finally we don't need to worry about other people!' Sasuke thought happily as he continued to trail his hand up Naruto's shirt.
BAM!
"HELLO? YO! SASUKE! YOU HERE?" a voice called from the front door.
Sasuke growled loudly before extracting himself from the blonde's embrace. Naruto whimpered quietly.
"Sasuke? Oh! There you are!" Kiba crowed as he walked into the kitchen.
"Hello Kiba. Did you need something?" Sasuke asked politely, just barely hiding his annoyance. Sasuke had turned around and was now leaning against the counter in between Naruto's legs, his arms on either side of the blonde's thighs. Naruto's head was resting on Sasuke's shoulder, his arms wrapped around his neck loosely.
"Ah, sorry. Did I interrupt somethin'?" Kiba asked, grinning widely.
"Of course not." Sasuke said, ignoring the huff of annoyance from Naruto.
"Coolio. I was just wonderin' if you guys wanted to come to this huge party I'm throwin' tonight."
"Sorry, we're already busy." Naruto grinned widely at Sasuke's statement, his smile spreading over his whole face.
"Oh. Got it. Not a problem then. Maybe the next party? You two have fun. Ha ha." Both boys could tell Kiba was enjoying this immensely. "You two be good now, ya here?" Kiba laughed loudly while turning away, waving lazily. "See ya tomorrow!"
"Yep."
They waited until they heard the front door click before Sasuke turned around and hungrily kissed the awaiting blonde.
"Why does this always happen to us?" Naruto asked in between kisses.
"Bad luck," was all Sasuke said, still attacking Naruto. "This however, is extremely good luck."
"Yep." Just then, they heard a loud sizzle coming from the stove.
"The ramen!" Sasuke tore out of Naruto's grasp and ran to the stove, yanking the pot off of the burner. "I think it's still okay."
"Ugh." Sasuke heard a thump and turned around to see Naruto laying on the counter, his hands covering his face.
"What?"
"Sasuke, that was mean."
"You want the ramen, don't you?"
"Humph. I guess. Although currently I would have preferred you let it burn the whole house down and just continued what we were doing."
"Sorry."
A grunt was all the response Sasuke got from the blonde, making Sasuke chuckle. 'I can never figure out what he wants,' he thought.
"Anyway, the ramen's ready."
Naruto dragged himself off of the counter, coming to sit across from Sasuke at the table.
"Itadakidamisu." they said in unison.
For the next several minutes the room was silent except for the frequent slurps from Naruto, interspersed with hums of contentment.
"Good?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes."
"Are you happy I didn't let it burn?"
"Nope." Naruto smiled.
"You're impossible."
"I know."
When they finished their ramen they put their dishes in the sink and walked into the living room.
"What now?" Sasuke asked.
"I don't know. What do you want to do?"
Sasuke chuckled, "That is a pointless question."
"Why?" Naruto looked confused.
"There's only one thing I want to do."
Naruto grinned and grabbed Sasuke's wrist. "Then maybe we should go to your room."
"I'm okay with that."
