"You missed a spot." The blond was annoyed even more by Sasuke's comment. Naruto despised chores above all else, which is why his room was frequently a disaster. He would have never cleaned his room if it weren't for Jiraiya's nagging.

Naruto snarled and threw the rag to the floor. "If you say that one more time, I'll shove you out the window and kill you." He threatened.

Sasuke sighed and rubbed his temple with his hand. "I'll take care of it." Picking up the rag from the floor, he grumbled. "The whiteboard is yours to clean."

Naruto sighed. "This is an excessive amount of effort." "Can't we just ditch?" He grumbled, bored to death.

"No, dobe, we'll just get ourselves into even more trouble. If you stop whining, we can hang out at my house later." He promises making Naruto's face light up. Naruto snatched up another piece of cloth and began frantically whipping the whiteboard. He loved going to Sasuke's house although he'd only been there once.

After a while of the two cleaning up the room they heard the classroom door open. In came Mr. Hatake with a bag of takeout. "I brought food with me!" He gave the two a friendly smile.

Naruto drooled at the smell and dashed over to Kakashi, grabbing the food from his grip. He grinned and said, "Here, let me help you." "Come on, Sasuke, let's sit!"

"First, we need to clean our hands," Sasuke said as he set his rag down. "you have no idea how many germs you have just touched."

Naruto locked his gaze on the raven, giving him a glare. "Kakashi, we'll be back! Don't eat anything without us!" He yelled as he marched out of the classroom, Sasuke trailing behind, looking for a bathroom to wash their hands in.

Naruto rushed back into the classroom, drying his hands by rubbing them against his shirt. Kakashi put his book down on the table and turned to face Naruto. "That was fast. Did you use soap?" He joked.

Naruto's grin vanished, replaced by a stern stare. "Of course I did!"

"He didn't," Sasuke said afterward. He cocked his head and smirked.

Naruto's brows furrowed in anger. "You liar, I did!"

Kakashi laughed at the two of them. "Calm down, the food is getting cold."

"Hn." To eat, both Sasuke and Naruto drew a chair close to Kakashi's desk.

While eating, Naruto and Sasuke attempted to but failed to catch Kakashi eating in order to see what was lurking under his mask. Every time they looked down, Kakashi would eat, and when they looked back up, his mask was back on as if nothing had happened!

"OK, I think you guys did a decent job cleaning, although I think there are a few places that need to be cleaned a little—" Kakashi was in the middle of a sentence when he was interrupted by two glares from Naruto and Sasuke, who were gritting their teeth. "I'm joking, of course! You're both free to leave now!"

Naruto burst into life, leaping to his feet. He dashed over to the seat where he had left his school belongings and snatched them up. "Sasuke, let's go!"

As Naruto hurriedly followed behind Sasuke, he gives a wave to his gray-haired teacher before returning his attention to the raven. "We'll see you tomorrow, Kakashi!"

Sasuke walked indifferently towards the school exit, but inside he was giddy with anticipation that Naruto would be over at his house again. He was up all night the last time he came over since he had so much fun with the blond. When he had left, he summoned the courage to text Naruto. Despite the fact that they couldn't text for long periods of time, the brief conversation they had rendered him the happiest individual alive. The little smiles and emoticons Naruto would send gave him butterflies.

What had changed, he used to despise Naruto?

"We've arrived." Sasuke sighed, he was really nervous for some reason. Naruto frowned, not wanting to annoy Sasuke. If Sasuke didn't want him around, he might simply leave.

Naruto was led into the living room by Sasuke, who had opened the door. "Take a seat; I'll be back in a minute. I must speak with my father." Naruto sat back in his seat, nodding.

Naruto heard some footsteps after a few minutes of waiting. He turned around, expecting to see Sasuke, but it wasn't him. "Naruto?" Itachi questioned; aside from his parents, Sauske, and a few workers, he didn't expect anyone to be home. Sasuke had very few visitors.

"It's you, Itachi. Hello, how are you?"

Itachi walked over to sit next to the blond and smiled softly. "Hello, Naruto," he says. "I'm fine. Is the debate team doing well?"

Naruto nodded and began telling him about how he was improving at giving speeches as well as writing them.

Naruto had quickly forgotten about Sasuke. Itachi was showing Naruto a photo album of himself and his family. "Aw, Itachi, you were such a sweet baby!" He was delighted at the adorable sight.

When they heard Sasuke say something, the two of them turned over. "Hn, I'm back. What are you two up to?" He asked, irritated by their proximity. Naruto had come to see him, not itachi.

"Itachi was showing me some of his baby photos. Wasn't he adorable as a baby?" He smiled from ear to ear as he turned the picture book to face Sasuke.

Itachi interrupted Sasuke as he scowled and was about to say something. "Are you suggesting I'm no longer cute?" Itachi feigned a pout.

Naruto couldn't stop himself from laughing. "No, you're more," he thought, his index finger on his chin. "Now you're a badass!" Itachi smiled at the compliment.

Sasuke became frustrated at this point. He stormed to his room, slamming the door to his room as he entered. Naruto was startled by the unexpectedly loud noise. "Was that...?"

"Oops, I guess we got a little carried away. Go talk to him; he's probably mad."

Naruto cocked his head to the left in confusion. "What makes you think he's mad?"

Itachi laughed at the unaware blond. "He's competing for your attention. Why else would he have you over?"

Naruto's eyes widened and his cheeks flushed as Itachi spoke. He jammed his fist into Itachi's shoulder. "Don't say that! It's humiliating!"
