Tis the Season

2

Naruto at the time was getting over the shock and moving on to anger, damn it! He would find out who did that! Thankfully however they hadn't touched his walrus sleeping cap. That would have meant death. But he was Uzumaki Naruto for fuck's sakes! He was going to be the Hokage, he wouldn't let this get to him! No matter how mean it was to do this type of thing so close to Christmas! Of course Shizune happily chatting with him and the deliciously hot and creamy coca helped lighten his mood considerably. His only problem now would be finding where he was to live while they fixed his apartment. That shouldn't be too difficult. This was Konoha after all, he'd had some friends!

After a while more of the two laughing at the faults of their favorite female Hokage Shizune refilled his coca and they headed toward the office again. Naruto was in a much better mood, he would probably end up bunking with Iruka or Shikamaru. That would be fine with him, it would be like a sleep over! Though he had never been to one before...Naruto snapped from his thoughts as they went back into the Hokage's office. She was smiling happily as she spoke to him.

"Good news! Though it's going to take a while to get your apartment fixed, because no one really wants to work this close to Christmas. We found you somewhere to stay!"

Naruto smiled happily back, "So who is lucky enough to bask in my company!"

A very familiar voice spoke from beside him.

"I wouldn't call it lucky, Dobe."

Naruto jumped reminding everyone of the cartoon cat who's fur spikes as they stick to the ceiling in surprise. And that's pretty much what he did as he turned and stared shocked at Sasuke.

"You! I'm staying with you!"

Sasuke crossed his arms looking away, "It seems so."

After the shock came the suspicion, Naruto narrowed his eyes, stepping away from Shizune and Ton Ton who he'd jumped into.

"Why are you letting me stay with you?"

Sasuke shrugged ignoring the question as he looked away, Naruto glared and went to smart off but someone slapped the back of his head. Turning with a pout firmly in place Naruto glared at Kakashi.

"I think better than all these questions a thank you is in order, ne Naruto?"

"I'd die first."

"It can be arranged."

Glaring at the cheery jounin teacher he turned back to Sasuke who still looked bored out of his mind. The boy smirked while waiting, Naruto glared worse.

"..."

Sasuke rolled his eyes still smirking and turned toward the door.

"Come on, Dobe." Naruto glared at the retreating back of the boy, he still didn't trust his sudden good intentions.

"Don't call me that Teme!"

Naruto left after the boy, catching up to him but giving him the silent treatment.

"Do you have all your stuff already or do we have to stop by your place?"

Naruto shook his head, "Got it."

Sasuke eyed the backpack but didn't say anything, they left and again had to brave the cold as they traveled the rather far distance to the Uchiha compound. It was more like an entire street covered in that annoying Uchiha symbol, Naruto had never been to the boys house before and was looking around him in something akin to awe. He wondered distantly why the Uchiha never let other people move into the empty homes, they were nice and would be bought pretty quickly. But he decided to keep his questions to himself, he knew Sasuke had issues talking about his family. They reached a house at the end of the street and Naruto did gawk in awe that time. It was huge! You could fit about 20 of his apartments in there!
