Bonds ➳ SasuNaru

Nine | Spending Time Together and A New Mission!

The boys ate their ramen quickly, and then Naruto had a second bowl. Sasuke just watched as he ate, his eyes soft.

When the blond finished up, the two left Ichiraku. The sky was a dark twilight, and stars were already out, shining brightly.

The boys looked at each other. "So, uh… you in the mood to do anything else?" Naruto asked, yawning slightly. "It's not that late. If not, I'll probably just head home."

'I really don't want to be alone right now though…' He was thinking.

Sasuke shrugged. "I don't really know," he answered, thrusting his hands into his pockets. "I'm not quite sure when we have to get up tomorrow to meet up at the bridge, but it's probably early. But, I mean, I already know Kakashi will be late, so I don't think it really matters if we do something else tonight before we unwind."

Naruto grinned. "Well do you want to come over to my house?"

Sasuke made a face. "Is it clean?"

Naruto stuck his tongue out. "Yeah, I straightened it up yesterday, believe it!"

"Dobe, I asked if it was clean."

"I just said I straightened–"

"There's a difference between straightened up and clean."

"Only a small one, teme," Naruto huffed, scrunching up his face.

"Yes, but there's still a difference," Sasuke sighed, rolling his eyes.

Naruto just sighed and shook his head. "Would you rather I come over to your house?"

"Not particularly."

"Then what the hell do you want to do?"

"Hn."

"You know, I don't get you sometimes, Sasuke."

Sasuke smirked and turned, walking away.

"Hey, Sasuke, where are you going?"

Sasuke didn't answer, still walking off in the direction of his home.

"Teme!" Naruto shouted, running after him. "Where are you going?"

"Home."

"Guess I'm coming with you," Naruto said with a shrug. Sasuke came to a halt, sighing, before turning around.

"You said you straightened up your house yesterday?"

Naruto smirked. "Yep."

"Come on then, dobe." Sasuke started walking to Naruto's house.

"Aw, but Sasuke, didn't you want to go back to your house?" Naruto teased, smirk still in place. Sasuke glared ahead.

"Just shut up and let's go, usuratonkachi."

Naruto followed, still smirking but not saying a word.

When they arrived, it was completely dark, but the moon and stars lit up the world. Naruto unlocked the door, letting the dark-haired boy inside first.

'Eh, it's not as bad as I thought it would be…' Sasuke thought, but he wouldn't tell the blond that.

Naruto smiled. "Make yourself at home," he said, unzipping his favorite orange jacket and slipping it off, hanging it by the door. "Do you want some tea?" He then asked as he removed his shoes.

"Sure," Sasuke murmured, taking off his shoes and setting them beside Naruto's. As Naruto went off into the kitchen, Sasuke sat down by the coffee table on his hind legs.
