Naruto was deep asleep, all snuggled up in bed before his phone's alarm started ringing loudly, making the blonde groan and sit up in bed as he turned it off.

He sat there in silence before stretching and yawning, then getting up out of bed and began changing. He wasn't in the mood for a morning shower and would just take one after work.

After he fixed his shirt, he went ahead and made a simple breakfast– instant ramen. his favorite.

The blonde tiredly munched on his food as he glanced at his phone. He didn't have that many friends besides Hinata, Sakura, Shikamaru and Kiba. Maybe Sasuke.. if he would consider the Uchiha to be his friend.

Both Sasuke and Naruto were very close friends, best friends, technically, when they were in middle school. But they had drifted apart once they started high school and now they don't speak to each other anymore. It was shocking when Naruto found out that his boss would be Sasuke. But nevertheless, Naruto wouldn't treat Sasuke any differently just because Sasuke is his old friend. Same goes for said raven.

Naruto just sighed since he had zero notifications. It was 6:21 in the morning. Naruto has to get to work by 6:50. It's a 20 minute drive, so he would arrive on time.

Naruto finished his ramen noodles before tossing it in the trash and grabbing his bag, phone, and car keys. He turned and stared at the empty house. Tsunade had taken care of Naruto for most of his life. But he was alone once he was in high school.

The blonde remained silent before heading out the front door and closing it behind him. He walked to his car and as soon as he got in, he started it.

During the drive to work, he had one hand on his steering wheel while the other held his phone because Hinata had started texting him.

Naruto grumbled to himself because he knows he can't text and drive.. but he just did it anyways.

With only taking his eyes off the road for a second, he almost immediately ran over someone and yelped as he quickly pulled to a stop.

The person in front of Naruto just stared wide-eyed and quickly ran off. It was a child around seven years old.

Naruto groaned and slammed his head on the steering wheel, making the horn blare, startling himself.

"Well, this is an amazing start of the day" he muttered to himself

~~~

The blonde was five minutes late since he had to make a stop at a café and almost ran into someone.

Naruto was dashing through the building until he reached Sasuke's office, panting.

He then caught his breath and inhaled sharply, before exhaling and opening the door to Sasuke's office "Hey, uh.. I got you your coffee."

The raven glanced at Naruto with an annoyed expression "You're late, Uzumaki."

Naruto smiled nervously "Sorry about that.. I was held back a bit."

Sasuke rolled his eyes with a sneer as Naruto set the coffee on Sasuke's desk "Is there.. anything else you need, sir?"

"No. So you can leave. And don't be late again or I'll fire you."

Naruto's eyes just widened before Sasuke sighed "I'm joking. Just leave my office.."

Naruto slowly nodded as he stepped out of the office and gently shut the door behind him.

After a moment, he sighed heavily. "That damn sasuke." He muttered as he started walking.

Once Naruto had applied for his job, Sasuke had made the decision to make Naruto his personal assistant since everyone else before him was horrible. Naruto knew Sasuke so the raven trusted the blonde more.

Sakura had noticed the blonde and headed over to him "Why are you late? You know you'll get Sasuke angry."

"Well, I almost ran over a kid and I had to make a stop at a café.." the blonde said

"You- almost ran over a kid?! What the hell, Naruto!" Sakura said with a glare

"I'm sorry! It's not like I meant to."

"Did you at least go and apologize?"

"Well.. no. The kid ran off before I could."

"If you're lying, Naruto Uzumaki.. I'll kick your ass." Sakura scowled

Naruto laughed nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck "I, uh.. I'll go ahead and start my work. You should do that too.." and with that, Naruto walked away from Sakura before she scolded him more.

Naruto internally sighed of relief once he entered his personal office. Perks of being the assistant to the owner. Naruto could have his own office, a comfy one at that and close to Sasuke's office incase the raven ever needed Naruto to do something.

Naruto slouched in his chair while continuously clicking his pen as he looked over some files. Boring stuff, honestly. But he was getting paid for that, and doing whatever Sasuke asked.

Hours went by and the blonde sighed and he leaned back in his chair. He had glasses on, so he did look nerdy.. but he was the opposite. He was just hard working. He wasn't interested in love like Sakura or Ino. He focused on work instead.

Naruto stared up at the ceiling with a thought. I never even actually wondered how Sasuke became the owner.. I'll ask him later. Maybe on his lunch break.
