Unfortunately Yours (SasuNaru) ✔

Chapter 6: Three Rules

I stared at him, still speechless from his words. I felt my face getting even hotter, so I quickly looked away and opened up my refrigerator, acting as if I was looking for something.

"M-me?! Fall for you? As if!"

I took out a gallon of water to go with my pretend search through the refrigerator. "Sasuke, you seem to forget that I'm not like everyone else."

He connected the cord of the stove and lit the gas to get the stove started. "I know you're different..." I saw him smile for second before looking at me with an expressionless face, "You're an idiot."

I rolled my eyes and walked over to grab a pot from my cabinet. I brought all three items over to the stove to cook my ramen.

Sasuke sat across from me, leaning against the couch, and I against the frame of my bed.

"You have a small apartment," he blurted while crossing his arms.

"Well that's cuz this place was meant for one person: me," I snapped back as I waited for the water to boil.

I looked around my apartment, seeing the new dresser placed alongside mine. This stupid jerk really took my place and made it his...

I clicked my tongue in annoyance as I continued to scan my apartment, not pleased with the new changes. Then with a sigh, I glanced up towards the man who was making my life a living hell. "How did you even get in here?" I asked.

"I told your landlord that I was your husband, and then they gave me a key."

What low security...

I sighed again as I removed the lid of the pot, checking to see if my water had begun to boil. Damn, it's still boiling...

While waiting for the water to boil, I opened my ramen cup halfway then looked at him as I released another loud sigh. "I swear I've never sighed this much in my life until I've spent all this time with you."

He chuckled while he looked at me with a glint of happiness in his eyes.

I got caught up in the sudden spark in his eyes, and I couldn't look away from him. Besides all the sighing, he's really been changing my views on him. Sometimes I hate him and sometimes I want to be around him...he's made me an emotional wreck...stupid asshole...

The reminder of his true self allowed me to look away from him. I then folded my arms, ready to speak. "Listen Sasuke, now that we're living together, I'm going to establish some rules."

He smirked, clearly mocking my attempt at establishing some sort of order in my home. I ignored his mocking smile and proceeded with what I had to say: "Okay, so rule number one: boundaries."

He opened up the small pot of water to show it boiling. He smirked as he closed it back up to look at me. "You need to be more specific."

I turned off the stove and began to pour the water into my Ramen cup. "Well, it's kinda self-explanatory," I said as I moved the stove, placing it to the side, and closed my Ramen cup to let it cook.

I looked at him and narrowed my eyes as I spoke. "No sleeping in the same bed, no walking in on each other while showering, stay away from my personal belongings, and don't try to get involved in my personal life. We're not a real married couple and as I said before, I have no intention of being your incubator to restore the Uchiha clan."

He looked at me emotionless. "So we're just roommates?"

"Yup. I don't want to have a child with someone I don't love, so that is out of the question. I'll spend the next two years with you, but I am not having any type of sexual relationship with you."

He nodded his head at my words.

I looked over to my Ramen and lifted up the cover to see it cooked. I ripped the top off to let it cool down before I ate it. I then gave him my attention once again, holding up two fingers to represent the second rule. "Rule number two: be nice to Sakura-Chan."

"Why?"

"What do you mean why?! Sakura-chan is my friend, and you treat her like shit!"

"She deserves it," he replied instantly.

"What--No! Ugh--just...just try to be nice to her or I'll kick you out."

He rolled his eyes as he clicked his tongue. "Fine...I'll try and be nice..."

"Good," I said while I grabbed my Ramen to eat it. I opened up the bed drawer that was next to me and pulled out a pair of chopsticks.

"Why do you have chopsticks there?"

"What?! This is my emergency stash!" I shouted as I broke them open. I picked up my Ramen and began to eat.

I was halfway done when I suddenly remembered the most important rule. "Oh, that's right!" I placed my Ramen down and put up three fingers. "The third and most important rule: don't develop feelings."

He looked at me seriously, then he broke out into laughter. "Seriously?" He asked with a laugh.

My face flushed pink as I picked up my Ramen to continue eating. "Shaddup!"

I glanced at him as he laughed. Who knew he could laugh like that...I've ever seen him like this before...

He continued to laugh until he calmed down. "Naruko, if anyone were to develop feelings, it would be you."

I felt my heart stop at his words. What the hell is he talking about?!

"There's no way I would ever! But if the day ever did come that one of us would develop feelings, we can't live together or even be friends anymore."

Suddenly the atmosphere grew tense. It was silent and both us were looking away.

"I-It's best that way anyway," I said as I continued to eat, "Being just friends when one of us has feelings would be too painful, ya know?"

The air around us grew thicker and unbearable. Damn it Naruko, say something and fix this mess!

"A-anyway, after the 2 years, we'll be reassigned different people, so you'll have the chance to be with Sakura-chan..."

Why does the air feel even thicker now?!

He suddenly got up and picked up the stove and pot.

"You don't have to-!"

He stayed quiet as he took everything to the kitchen.

Is he upset? I can't tell what he's thinking!

He washed the pot and placed it in the cabinet.

Why does the air feel so tense? Did I say something wrong? And why is he suddenly acting so distant?!

Sasuke wiped his hands with the hand towel and walked towards the door. He placed on his sandals and looked back at me before leaving.

"Don't forget to put your shoes by the door." He then opened the door and left.
