Bonds ➳ SasuNaru

Eleven | Sticking Together: Nice Words and Jealously!

They went back to the Hidden Leaf, making there right after dark.

"So, how are you going to work this out?" Kakashi asked Naruto and Sasuke lazily, looking as bored as he usually does.

"Huh?" Naruto asked, and Kakashi gestured to the blond's and Sasuke's bound hands. "Dammit, I forgot about this..."

"How could you forget when I'm literally attached to you, dobe?"

"Shut up, teme!"

"Both of you, knock it off," Kakashi demanded, causing the boys to shut their mouths. "Now, what are you planning to do? One of you will have to stay at the other's house, share a bed big enough for the two of you, etcetera, etcetera."

The boys blushed lightly and looked at each other.

"Then we'll have to stay at my house," Sasuke said, sighing. "My bed is big enough for us to share."

"Alright then, see you guys later," Kakashi uttered, smiling lightly, before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

"Maybe I can come over for a little while?" Sakura asked, smiling lightly. Sasuke let out another sigh.

"Come on, then."

Sakura looked surprised for a moment. Then she quickly gathered herself and smiled, nodding once.

Sasuke began walking in the direction of his home, dragging the blond behind him, Sakura walking beside them.

"Hey, slow down!" Naruto said agitatedly, squinting.

Sasuke shot a glare in the blond's direction, and still kept going at the pace he was previously.

"Bastard," Naruto mumbled, glaring at the back of Sasuke's head.

"Hn."

"Don't be rude, Naruto," Sakura reproved, sending a mild glare at the blond as well. "Sasuke is the one letting you stay at his house, you know. Least you could do is say thank you."

"What are you, my mother?" Naruto grumbled, glaring at the two of them.

"Well, Naruto, I guess you'd think that because you don't have one, after all," Sakura retorted, glaring harshly now.

Naruto felt a stab at his heart from that comment, and shut up, eyes downcast. Sasuke sent a glare at Sakura, which she saw and made her feel guilty.

"Be quiet," he growled, and Sakura turned away from Naruto.

When they finally arrived at the Uchiha compound, Sasuke dragged Naruto all the way up to his house, Sakura following silently. Sasuke opened the door and stepped inside, stepping out of his shoes before reaching up behind his head and untying his headband.

Naruto did the same, setting his stuff with Sasuke's. The two made their way into the room more, letting Sakura take off her shoes.

Sasuke turned to Naruto. "If you'd like to get clean later, there's a hot spring outside. Although... I'm not sure how we'll get our shirts off unless we cut them off."

"You are not cutting my clothes off," Naruto growled, eyes narrowing.

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Whatever then, but I still want to clean myself. Then I want to get something for dinner and head to bed."

"You know, I can sew your clothes back up if you cut them, Naruto," Sakura said, sighing.

Sasuke grabbed a knife from the kitchen counter, taking it to the left side of his shirt.

He stopped. He wasn't really sure if he could do it by himself.

"I, um, I can help you with that," Sakura said, blushing lightly.
