Messy without a Doubt

Date!

Naruto woke up early and showered, he brushed his teeth and tamed his bed head he put on his regular clothes and told Sasuke to do the same. Today was date day. A date Naruto planned, which means it won't be a normal date.

Naruto told Sasuke to come over at around 4:00 in the afternoon because he wants to get everything done so they can go to the cliff and watch the stars. That's how he wants to end the date.

Sasuke woke up at 7 in the morning he wasn't usually someone who slept in late, he never sleeps well in his house not anymore at least.

He was going to text Naruto but Naruto insisted on no contact till 4:00 when he has to go over and pick him up. Sasuke showered he turned the water to the hottest it could go without him feeling like he was being burned alive.

Sasuke stood in the shower longer than normal, his body was tired, his eyes were tired and the hot water and steam surrounding him was giving him a headache he was getting dizzy.

Sasuke turned the shower to the cold water to calm his hot skin and over heating bathroom. When he finished washing his body he stepped out and brushed his teeth. He put on a pair of black pants and a dark blue long sleeve shirt.

Sasuke walked downstairs and into the kitchen he went. His mother and father were always early risers. Sasuke use to race downstairs in the morning trying to beat his older brother, it was was stupid competition that they both silently agreed on. Itachi was always down before Sasuke was.

It's changed so much.

"Good Morning mother" Sasuke smiled warmly at this mother and sat in his seat at the kitchen island waiting for her to finish breakfast so he could eat and leave. Even if Sasuke has to walk around town for three hours anything is better then being in his depressing house.

Mikoto turned around and gave Sasuke the same smile she always does, she smiles so small and lifelessly it looks like she never ever wants to get out of bed.

Mikoto gets up every morning and for a split second she thinks she hears Itachi and Sasuke running downstairs trying to get there first. In the morning for a split second she is the mother of two children not one.

In the morning she is happy for only a second before reality sets in and she crumbles. She sits up in her bed for ten minuets before finally getting up because she doesn't want to start the day. She never does.

"Sasuke the dinner for Sunday has been moved to tonight because of snow tomorrow afternoon. Would you like to come?" Mikoto would be very pleased if her son said yes, she would consider it the start of something new. They could start to create a new bond, they could start being a mother and son. Not whatever they have now.

"I have plans" Sasuke said grabbing a knife and buttering his waffles he picked up the syrup and dumped it all over his waffles. Sasuke has a sweet tooth even though everyone just assumes he hates candy or anything sweet because he's such a quiet asshole.

Assholes don't like candy or sweets, didn't you know?

"You have plans? That's nice with who?" Mikoto turned around to the oven when she heard the familiar loud foot steps coming from upstairs.

"Good Morning" Fugaku said his rough hoarse voice makes it very difficult to even look at the man. His voice his too rough, it's always scared Sasuke.

"Morning" Sasuke muttered picking up his fork and cutting a piece of his waffle. Fugaku ruffled Sasukes hair and took a seat next to him.

Sasuke wondered where the family went wrong, where did the sharp turn happen? When did they all turn into strangers with tendencies to do things they hate doing.
