The truth

Chapter 7

Sasuke had just finished unpacking his and Naruto's things and added an extra few pillows onto the bed before he stepped back, scanned the room and nodded his head in satisfaction. Their nest for the night was ready.

He left the room a few short minutes after that and made his way down the stairs.

Naruto was busy cooking dinner in the kitchen. It smelled heavenly.

Shikamaru and Temari were having a cuddle session in their room. He saw them when he was coming down.

Ino and Hinata were both just chilling on the couch in the seating area.

Choji was reading a cookbook that he found on the coffee table.

Lee and Gaara were both outside sitting on the grass. They were talking about something.

Neiji and Tenten were both sitting on another couch drinking tea and looking around for some more gossip. He figured it out last night after he witnessed TenTen 'discreetly' pull out a notepad when Kiba started to mutter something about puppet masters and their fingers.

Speaking of the two, Kiba and Kankuru were sat in a tree and making out. Yeah, they were very open about their relationship. Or whatever it is they were because they were yet to tell anyone what they were. So situationship perhaps?

Shino was admiring the flora and fauna that surrounded the house. He kept telling anyone that would listen that he would love to see what type of effect the different plants would have on his bugs.

Sakura was, to Sasuke's relief, nowhere in sight.

Kakashi was reading his Icha-Icha paradise book. Sasuke does not know what's so interesting about the video because he's read a part and found it a little raunchy teenage fantasy. He's a seventeen year old, he knows what he's talking about.

Asuma and Kurenai were sitting on the couch, whispering to each other about things.

He didn't know what they were saying, he was too far away.

He turned and walked into the kitchen. There he found Naruto, fluttering around the kitchen in a pink frilly apron. Moving through the kitchen with such an ease it looked almost natural.

"What are you making my little bee?" Sasuke asked with a small smile.

"Lasagne. Beef and chicken." Naruto said.

"Why both?" Sasuke asked.

"Variety. Everyone wants something different."

Naruto stood in front of the stove mixing and stirring as he went with a smile on his face and his shoulders relaxed.

Sasuke walked up to Naruto and circled his arms around the blonde's waist.

"And here I thought that you were going to give us something extravagant," Sasuke said.

"Nope. That's going to be tomorrow night. This is fast and it's going to fill everyone up too," Naruto said.

"So, you're going to take on the job as a head chef?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah. Kakashi-sensei can't exactly cook," Naruto said.

"You can say that again," Sasuke said.

"Or you can just like you know get your hands off my brother," Shikamaru said.

Both boys turned around and saw Shikamaru standing in the doorway. He had his arms crossed and a scowl on his face.

"Shikaaaaaa~" Naruto whined.

"What?" The Nara asked.

"Don't be mean to Sasuke," Naruto said.

" I can be mean to Sasuke if I want to be," Shikamaru said.
