Such Is Life (SasuNaru)

1. Black Coffee and Mint Tea

"Evil is always unspectacular and always human. And shares our bed..and eats at our table."

'How can the same hands that just last night held me so gently, be the same that just hurt me. How can the same mouth say such horrible things and the words 'I love you' afterwards.'

Third POV

"Naruto ! I'm going to work now, I'll expect you to be back from your work when I come home." Yahiko shouted at the door to the just wakened blond who didn't reply. He was in too much pain to even stand properly. His legs and arms along with his stomach were sore, and few bruises could be seen, nothing he couldn't cover up. He heard the door closing and stood up from the bed he had crawled himself to last night on his own, and limped to the bathroom.  

He glanced at the mirror and cringed. He had a small gash on his left cheek, just next to his whisker marks. The blond then proceeded to take his clothes off and hopped in the shower. He washed everything twice, just wanting the bruises and the pain to go away. When he deemed himself as clean as he could be, he grabbed a towel to put on himself and then walked back to the mirror to clean the small gash and put a bandage on it. 

When he was ready to leave for work, he had on his work uniform, which consisted black pants and royal blue shirt, that had the cafe's name and logo on it. Which was a pony. The blond smiled at himself as he took of to work.

He felt different today. Like something good was about to happen.

Sasuke Uchiha POV

"I am talking to you otouto, are you even listening ?" A whiny voice was heard and I groaned.

"Will you ever shut up, Itachi." I hissed and proceeded to look over our company's documents. My brother waved his arm dramatically and huffed exasperatedly at me which I raised and eyebrow at.

"What is it now ?" I asked with a sigh.

"It's about one of my friends friends friend." 'Oh great, not this again.'

"What about your friends friends friend, oh dear aniki, pray to tell." He glared at me and turned at me with a serious expression which didn't happen more than once a year.

"Well Kisame-kun told me that his friends friend has this cute boyfriend, and he works here !" He giggled and I sweat dropped. 

"That's it ?" He nodded and I sighed at him. 

"I'm telling you Sasuke ! If someone is with Kisame's friends friend, he must be different." I shook my head and packed the documents to my briefcase while received a menu from my brother who was wiggling his eyebrows.

"I bet you'd like him." He insisted. 

"Why is it, that every time I hear something about some of your freaky friends, it always ends up with you trying to pair me with some tramp or some freaky woman. And besides, why would I like this guy, I'm not gay." 

"Just to remind you, that was two months ago, and it happened only thrice. And Karin wasn't that bad. Oh, who am I kidding, anyways. And, maybe your gay for this guy, it's not always about the gender Sasuke~" He chimes and I groan and flicked my black hair as I waited for a waiter.

"Karin was delusional and possessive, and so were the other two, and it was two weeks ago, not two months. Anyway, have you spoken  to mother or father  yet about your boyfriend ?" He furrowed the bridge of his nose and sighed. 

"Okay, you got me, and no..I haven't told father yet." I shake my head.

"So everyone else knows except father ?" 

"Yeah.." He muttered. I rolled my eyes. It's not like our father will disown him even if he was in a relationship with some guy, he's Itachi. That's reason enough.

"Well you got to tell him." I remind him and he nods as I hear soft feet padding towards us and I see Itachi's eyes brighten at the sight of it, I don't bother turning, it's just our waiter.

"Hello, my name's Naruto, what can I get you ?" I hear a soft voice like chiming of bells in my ears. I look up at our waiter and have to squint my eyes. I can't see his face clearly because of the Sun shining just behind him. Itachi can see him very well and I see my brother smiling.

"Nice to mee you Naruto, I'm Itachi and this is my dear otouto, Sasuke. I'd like a cup of mint tea with some lemon cake please, and I bet Sasuke's just going to take black coffee without any sugar what so ever." He chimes and I glare at him. The waiter, now dubbed Naruto laughs, sounding like the chiming like bells again. I hear him scribbled the orders on something guessing a small note pad, and thanking us then leaving, I turn on my seat, trying to see the waiter whose voice was like a relaxing song to my ears, but there's too much of a crowd in here. I turn back and glare at my brother who smiled innocently at me.

"What did you think ?" He asks.

"About what ?" 

"About the waiter, that was the boyfriend of my friends friends friend. Although I'm wondering about the bandage on his face, maybe he's just clumsy." He shrugs.

"I didn't see his face, the Sun was shining too bright." I grumble and he laughs at my misfortune.

"Too bad, he's really good eye candy for a man in a relationship like me, but maybe for you he might be more." He giggles more and my eye brows twitch.

"He's in a relationship too, idiot." I hiss and he hums in agreement.

"But you didn't deny anything, Sasuke ~" 

"Shut up, Itachi, he's a guy, and a taken one at that." He shakes his head.

"What an Uchiha wants, an Uchiha gets. Get it ?" He chuckles at the end and I feel a head ache coming.

"So what is this place anyway, I've never been here ?" I ask and he smiles.

"The Prancing Pony. Catching, isn't it ?" I roll my eyes, and wait for the waiter to come back. I want to see his face now more than ever.
