Chapter 7: 'Psychic'
A/N: Thanks everyone for reading! I tried to write as much as I could for the time being, but again I'm really busy this week and no chapter updates till probably Monday. Sorry! This chapter is basically about Naruto's morning so sorry about the lack of Sasuke POV but it will be coming up soon! Thanks again, everyone!
The morning sun filled Naruto's bright orange room, waking up the sleeping blonde. Naruto's half lidded eyes adjusted to the brightness and he looked around the room and slowly sunk his head back into his pillow. Naruto's hands searched around his covers for his cell phone to see what time it was. Soon, a hand landed on a metal object and Naruto pulled his cell phone out to check the time and see if he had any messages.
The time was 10 o'clock in the morning and Naruto had over twenty messages from his friends. The most were from Sakura, of course. The messages were about him calling her back to hang out with their friends today or to talk about what happened the other night. He scrolled though more messages on his cell phone and gave a smile to some.
Two drunk text messages from Kiba and two from Hinata, apologizing about Kiba. Another from Garaa, and one from Shikamaru.
Naruto figured he'd call text them back after breakfast and threw his phone back onto the bed as he got up and made his way out of the bedroom.
Naruto could hear his parent's talking and laughing, but he could also smell delicious french toast being made from downstairs. The blonde hurried down the staircase and into the kitchen, greeting his always smiling parents.
"Mornin', mom and dad." Naruto gave a smile and a slight wave of the hand as he sat on a bar stool near their breakfast bar.
"Good morning, Naruto." Kushina gave her son a smile and added a piece of bread onto the frying pan. Minato gave a grin to his son as he finished pouring orange juice into some cups for them. He handed a cup to Naruto and sat the other two on the breakfast bar across from two stools.
"So what are you doing today? Going out? Staying home?" Kushina asked the still sleepy Naruto.
"Well, I got bombarded with text messages about hanging out so I guess I'll be out today." Naruto gave a tired smile.
Kushina nodded with a smile and continued to make breakfast.
Minato leaned against the counter and took a sip of orange juice, "How's school, Naruto?"
"It's going good. Kinda crazy since I have to keep up with my Arts and soccer practice." Naruto gave a weak smile.
"Keep up the good work, son." Minato gave a thumbs up and handed a plate to Kushina to place the french toast on.
The family sat down and began chatting and making jokes as they ate. Naruto finished up quickly and helped clean up breakfast before he went to go change.
Naruto raced up the stairs and sent a few text messages to his friends, telling them to all meet up at Konoha Mall.
The blonde rummaged through his drawers and hanging clothes before deciding on some blue jeans, a orange and black hoodie and some gray converse. He grabbed his phone and walked into the bathroom to brush his teeth, knowing that Sakura would give him shit all day if he didn't.
Naruto was down the steps and at the key drawer grabbing his car keys to meet his friends. Before he made it to the front door, Kushina stopped him with a tug on one of his sleeves. Naruto turned around to listen to his mother.
"Your father and I will be at the bakery all day, okay? So if you need anything call us or be at the shop. Have fun and be safe." The red haired woman gave her son a kiss on the top of his forehead and watched as Naruto said bye and gave a wave before getting into his car.
Naruto read his text messages before buckling up and starting his car. As he read through them he was notified that everyone was going to be there soon and that they'll all meet at the food court. Naruto checked his wallet for cash and smiled, glad that he saved up some. He placed his phone and wallet back into his wallet and pulled away from his house and onto the busy roads of Konoha.
Naruto drove his way across town as he parked several parking spaces away from the entrance to the food court. Naruto pulled his keys out and grabbed his phone and wallet laying on the passenger seat. He got out of the car and locked the car behind him as he made his way to the entrance. The aroma of pizza, burgers, french fries and tacos assaulted his nose, but gladly enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere this place always gave him.
He looked around for his friends and spotted them near some water fountains near the bathrooms. He walked up to the group and gave them a huge grin.
Naruto laughed as he saw the bags under Kiba's eyes and how miserable her looked.
"Kiba, why are you even here? You have a hangover and you look like shit."
"I didn't want to come, Uzumaki. But these idiots made me." Kiba groaned and rubbed at his tired eyes.
"Where's my shirt at?" Sakura came up to Naruto with a smirk.
"I would never walk into a public place with that piece of sparkly pink vomit."
"Rude!" Sakura gave him a playful hit to the side of the arm.
Naruto was glad that the first question out of her mouth wasn't about Sasuke. He gave her an eye roll in return.
"But anyways. Did your parent's see your get up?" Sakrua giggled.
"No, they weren't even home. But guess who was." Naruto gave a sigh.
"Oh. Well who else was at your house then?" Sakura looked confused.
"Tsunade. Fucking aunt Tsunade was inside as I walked into my house with that ridiculous shirt."
Sakura burst out laughing, tears almost falling down her cheeks. "No way. Oh my god. That's great!"
"Yeah for you and her." Naruto gave a snort.
"What are you two laughing about?" Garaa asked sternly as he glared at the two.
"Nothing, nothing." Naruto gave a smile to the red head.
"I'm surprised you didn't get drunk like usual with Kiba, Uzumaki." Garaa changed the subject.
"I would've but I had to drive myself and Sakura home."
"Hn." Garaa nodded and turned his attention back to a story telling Sai.
"Where's the Uchiha who followed you all night at?" Temari smirked and gave a nudge at Naruto.
Shit. Not about Sasuke. Naruto groaned to himself.
"He was just a new kid to the school and he's probably at home." Naruto shrugged.
"Ah, I see."
Sakura gave a glance to the both of them, hoping Naruto would accidentally spill some information about the other night.
"I say we start walking and shopping!" Tenten cheered as she and Neji began walking ahead of the group towards the small shops. Most of the group followed suit but Naruto and Sakura walked a slower pace behind them.
Sakura wanted answers and to know what she guessed last night was right or not.
"Naruto, you know I want to know about last night." Sakura softly told him.
"I know." Naruto gave a light huff.
"I don't want a whole explanation, so let me ask you something."
Naruto gave her a nod to proceed with her question.
Sakura hushed her voice so no one could hear them but themselves.
"Did you and Sasuke possibly kissed last night outside?"
Naruto's face got hot and his throat felt like it was constricting as he remembered Sasuke's lips against his.
Naruto looked at her, he figured he might as well get it over with, "Yeah. I accidentally fell on him and he kissed me. I left with you right after."
"So, how was the kiss?" Sakura tried to lighten the mood.
Naruto gave her an annoyed look.
"Come on."
"Fine. It was my first kiss from a guy or from anyone. He felt I don't know, good?" Naruto's cheeks flushed some more.
"Were there fireworks, butterflies in your stomach, did you close your eyes? Kiss him back?"
"I-I just don't want to talk about the kiss, okay?" Naruto looked down at his shoes.
"I want to know if you like him, that's all. It's pretty obvious he likes you."
"I just met him! How can you like someone at first sight? This isn't a fairy tale, Sakura." Naruto began to say before Sakura abruptly stopped.
"What's the matter?" Naruto stopped and walked a few steps over to her.
"Naruto, are you mad at me?"
"No of course not. I mean I'm pretty sure you did something last night to make me and Sasuke kiss because of that theory you told me earlier yesterday night. But, besides that I could never be mad at you."
Sakura gave a chuckle, "I could be a psychic, ya know."
Naruto gave a laugh and they kept walking, quickening their pace to catch up with the group.
Naruto was glad they talked a little bit about what happened and that she wasn't as pushy for the information as he though she would be.
