Naruto's POV

The awkward atmosphere and Sasuke Uchiha staying in this small apartment are something I can't get used to. Somehow Sasori is not in a mood to start a conversation. He's a quiet person who don't really take initiative to start a conversation anyway. Sasori says as he flips through the channels,"I should have been the one to cook for us today."

I ask him,"Would you cook for Mr. Uchiha too?" Sasori says blatantly,"No." I chuckle as I responded,"That's the reason..." Sasori turns off the television as he moves up. He says,"I'll be leaving." I nodded giving my attention to my unfinished breakfast while I can see Sasuke being busy over his phone.

I head to my room intending to be ready for my job. I am slacking off too much nowadays and I don't want Utakata to be disappointed. Sasuke says as he notices me putting on my white shirt,"Will you be okay to go by yourself? I have something to do outside of this town." I tell him,"I always go there by myself, remember?"

I should never forget that Sasuke is a busy man. If I keep acting hard to get, he'll eventually stop pursuing me. He must have no time to chase after me like this. With that in mine I walk by the streets going straight to the bakery finding the bakery closed. Seems like Utakata is still not here, that means I came early.

I rummage through my pocket to find the key to open the door. Utakata handed me the replica in case I need it in situations like this. I successfully opened the door with that already familiar jingle noise. I rush into the kitchen to find the flour for baking and mix the ingredients finding those into the cupboard before starting make the batter.

I could hear the soft footsteps knowing who the person might be. I could hear Utakata's cheerful voice as he says,"Good morning Naruto." I mimicked what he said. I was invested in whatever I'm doing as I have already become fond of baking. But when I found Utakata's hand tugging the collar of shirt, I flinched.

I spoke,"What are you doing?" Utakata lifts his hands up and says in a careless manner,"I'm sorry about that. There is something red around your neck." I become red all of a sudden and hurriedly cover my neck as if that is gonna make him forget what he just saw. Utakata says smirking,"Seems like you had a wild night."

I tell him frowning,"I'm not quite comfortable talking about that Utakata." Utakata says,"I see but you should be careful around here walking with that man." I responded,"I know." Utakata says,"I'm not talking in a bad way. You see, the car he's been driving is rare and you being just a part timer in a small bakery like this, getting in a car like that and hanging around that guy is creating rumours."

I ask him,"Have you heard something?" Utakata says,"No but this town is small. I know almost everyone in here. That guy stands out really well, you see." I agree with him as I say,"He does. Don't worry, he'll leave soon." Utakata says before leaving for the staffs room to get changed,"I'm not so sure about that."

As usual the regulars came, worker rushed in in the rush hour and the school girls kept peaking glances to see the seemingly handsome workers in the bakery. Utakata says sighing,"Maybe I should hire someone. This time I'll be hiring a woman." Yes, with just two workers serving too many customers is taking a toll on our bodies. I tell him,"Be sure to do that."

When we were not expecting another customer to come in, the bell rings. A short person came in. The long blond hair, the girl who was hitting on me. Utakata says bumping his shoulder against mine,"She's here to see you." I roll my eyes in response and let out a shaky breath. I mumble,"Long time no see."

The girl as usual ordered for a chocolate pastry blushing like I've already confessed to her. Utakata rushes to work as I tell him to bring him the piece of pastry and hot chocolate with it. Then for the second time the door made the jingle noise after the girl came in, Sasuke appears.
