Back to School

A/N: here again! And yes, if you haven't already noticed, I like writing and I do it if I'm bored or I need cheering up :) so I do it a lot :P anyway, the reviews were extra nice this time so I'm going to put my vase of daisies on display once again, so you can admire them ^^ replies!!! :

Tokyo-Princess: *squee* you're here again! *glomps* krhm, sorry :D yeah, the smex... I wanted to make it simple, cos in my opinion it's always exaggerated in fanfics, although that's usually how everyone wants it xP but I thought that with Sasu and Naru it would be something like that, simple but hawt... and the staring match! I should have used more time describing their expressions but there's only that much you can say about two people staring at each other! :D and not to worry, Temari might do a small cameo but it's probably gonna be Shika and Chouji cos their dynamics rock! Anyway, thanks again for reviewing and now I feel naughty for taking so much space for your reply... and I luv ya too!!! ^^ keep on reviewing, you make my day everytime you do!

enma ai: thank you thank you! It still feels good to hear it and thank you for taking out the time to just say that, I appreciate it more than you know x) and don't worry, I'll update soon!

spoon: thank you! It's nice to see familiar faces. ...well, not see, but ya know. And Sasuke has some issues, big surprise, but they'll work it out, and I'm pretty sure Naruto will forgive everything cos he has such a good heart :P and in my opinion, if Chouji was a woman, she'd make a perfect wife for Shikamaru, but I think it's better to keep them the way they are :D thank you again!

Kurai Kisu: oh god, that had me cracking up most of the day :D sorry about the whole Chouji-in-a-dress thing, I promise to put up necessary warnings before doing that again. ...if I ever do that again. And yes, the relationship between Iruka and 'the desk' is not far from disturbing. I wonder if Kakashi has jealousy issues? It would be hard to compete against an inanimate object... anyways, thank you for reviewing and making me laugh! ^^

KyuubiKit: You are...wonderful! *hugs* thank you for taking the time out to complement me, I really really really appreciate it! Here's a daisy, I'm not sure if you already have one, it's hard to keep track :P but anyway, thank you!

Chria: oh come now, you make me feel like a superstar *blushes* and you called it a series, I feel so special... ...which is pretty dumb, now that I think about it, of course it's a series, but I never thought about it before and... oh, never mind :D thank you! It's so nice to hear what part of the story people like :) and much love back to you! *glomp*

mina: yeah, I wondered where you were, see I remember your nic cos my real name is Minna and it's close to it and... sorry, getting of the subject :D yes, even Sasuke knows where to go for advice, it's no secret that Shika has the brain power :P and I might do a flashback to that conversation, it might actually be fun! *thinks about it* and gosh! *blushes* thanks for pointing out that mistake, you see I'm finnish and some words you don't see written in your english book so you have to write it the way you hear it, but I fixed it now! And thanks for being so nice about it! x) and thanks for reviewing Wear what? and I think it would do good for men to be pregnant once in a while, they'd appreciate us more :P

Sasuke entered his house, kicking the door closed and walking to the kitchen. He put the ramen, and the movie, on the counter and turned around to lean his back to it, Shikamaru's words still fresh in his mind.

He suppressed a sigh, pushing himself to stand properly, and headed upstairs.

Naruto stirred in his sleep, hearing the bedroom door open and close, bringing in a tuff of cool air. He groggily opened his eyes, looking straight at Sasuke, who was leaning on the door, staring at him thougtfully.

Sasuke gave a little smile when the blond reached out to him with his hands. ”Let's cuddle.” There was something in the way he said it that forced the raven to take off his clothes and walk over to him, sliding under the covers.

Naruto chuckled when Sasuke put his arms around his waist, hugging his midsection tightly (lucky I wiped it clean before I fell asleep). He brought his own hands to the beautiful raven hair resting on his chest, stroking it carefully, as if it would run away like a scared kitten if you weren't gentle.

”It's nice having you close.” Naruto more like mentioned, mesmerized by the silky hair.

Sasuke hn'ed, looking up at the blond's face, his chin resting on the tan pecks. ”I need to tell you something.”

Naruto seized his hand movement, staring back at the dark eyes. ”Is it about the mind control thing?”

Sasuke nodded, chewing on his lip a bit, thinking the best way to say it.

(Oh forget it, I'm just going to tell him.) ”Naruto, I used a perfume Kabuto invented that overstimulates the libido.” When getting an empty stare as a respond, Sasuke added ”It makes you horny as hell.”

There was a spark of understanding in the bright blue eyes, which was soon replaced by puzzlement as Naruto started going through his thoughts with this new piece of information.

Sasuke turned his head to the side, resting his cheek on Naruto's skin, squeezing his hold a little just to make sure the blond wasn't leaving.

There was a long silence, during which Sasuke often wondered if Naruto was trying to come up with something to say, but had he looked up, he'd known that the blond was still processing his thoughts.

”So...” Sasuke was relieved that there was finally some form of communication, and at the same time he dreaded what the blond might say. ”...was it just a test or...?”

Sasuke looked up, a doubtful stare greeting him. ”It was at first but then it changed.” His voice was steady, like it was a normal thing to tell someone you just slept with, but inside he was nervous.

Naruto's eye twitched at the confession, he really didn't like being a test puppet, but the almost audible regret in Sasuke's voice stung and warmed his heart at the same time.

They shared a stare, both wondering what the other was thinking, Naruto giving up first and telling the raven what he needed to hear. ”I'm not angry.”

Sasuke exhaled, not realizing he'd been holding his breath. Then he did something they both knew he would deny it ever happened if asked. ”And I'm sorry.”

Naruto smiled, his eyes lighting up in the process, and continued playing with the dark hair, while Sasuke returned to his previous position, resting his cheek on the soft skin.

They stayed there ten to fifteen minutes, it might have been half an hour for all they knew, until Naruto's stomach made itself known.

”I'm hungry.” The blond added to the rumbling sound, as if it wasn't already clear. Sasuke rolled his eyes and let go of the hold, sitting up. ”No shit.”

Naruto sat up too, grinning brightly enough to make someone go blind, but the Uchiha had grown almost immune to it, now it just stung his eyes a little. ”Did you mention ramen earlier?”

Sasuke didn't even have the time to finish his nod, when the blond had already jumped out of bed and was beginning to run towards the kitchen when he suddenly stopped, sitting back on the bed.

He sat there for some time before letting out a quiet ”ouch” and falling down to lay on the bed. ”Why does my ass hurt?” There was an innocent inquery in his voice, as if he had no memory of what had happened before.

Sasuke sat there for a while, face impassive, before bursting out laughing. Naruto looked up as he heard the melodius sound that seemed to vibrate through the man's whole body, deciding that it was the most beautiful sound he ever heard and that now it was his mission in life to hear it as much as he possibly could.

Finally getting a hold of himself, Sasuke got of the bed, mumbling something about stupid dobes, and walked over to his closet, taking out two bathroom robes. ”Come on, let's go eat.” He said, throwing the white one on the blond laying on his bed.

Naruto took a hold of the robe and carefully got up, wincing as he tried to but his weight on both feet. Sasuke saw this, smiled and came over to help the blond put the clothe on. ”Need me to carry you?”

The automatic reaction was to announce that Naruto Uzumaki did not need help walking, but the blond stopped himself, wanting to take advance of the situation. ”If you wouldn't mind, then yes please.”

Sasuke sighed, rolling his eyes again, he had been joking! But, who was he to deny something from the pretty (yes, he's still pretty) blond. He picked him up, bridal style, amazed how light Naruto actually was. Not that he was light as a feather, but he had expected more with all the muscles.

Naruto saw the thoughtful expression Sasuke had. ”What are you thinking about?”

Sasuke snorted. ”I'm pretty sure Sakura weighs more than you.” The amusement was clear in his voice, which didn't go unnoticed by the blond. ”EXCUSE ME!?” The raven moved his head a little to his side, trying to get his ears farther away from the source of the noise. ”I'm going to go deaf soon.”

Naruto fumed, readying an angry retort if the bastard dared to open his mouth again, but he suddenly forgot why he was mad when Sasuke gave him a small smile. ”I prefer you that way.” The blond stared at the side of the pale face, slowly blinking.

He snapped out of his reverie when they reached the kitchen and Sasuke put him down on a seat. ”I'll warm it up, just a sec.” Naruto nodded and grinned again, it felt good to have someone do something for him. And it felt especially good to have Sasuke serving him, it gave him some perverse satisfaction.

Sasuke chuckled as he heard Naruto humming to himself while waiting, and he absently wondered if it would be that bad being like this for the rest of his life, with the blond keeping him company, he would never be alone.

Naruto noticed that his best friend had stopped moving, staring into space. ”Sasuke, you okay?” The raven snapped back to reality, hearing the worry in his voice. ”Yeah, got distracted.”

After getting their dinner to the table, Sasuke calmly ate, watching as Naruto devoured his food. ”You'll get the hiccups.”

The blond suddenly stopped eating, looking up at the black eyes staring him. Ramen was hanging from his mouth, completely forgotten, as there was something else on his mind.

Sasuke arched his eyebrow, quickly glancing on both his sides, making sure it was him he was staring at. ”...what?”

Naruto swallowed the ramen that had been left hanging and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. ”Sorry, I just... Well, nobody has ever told me that.”

Sasuke let out a dry chuckle. ”You didn't know?”

Naruto shook his head, resting his hands on his lap, twisting them. ”No, it's not that, just no one has said that... While I was eating. It's like you're the only one that noticed that I'm eating too fast.”

The raven regarded his teammate for a while with a serious expression before motioning him to lean closer over the table. When Naruto did, Sasuke met him halfway, pressing their lips together in a chaste kiss. Then he sat back, continuing his eating.

Naruto had to grin, getting back to eating too. When his smile refused to leave his face, Sasuke sighed. ”What now?” Naruto giggled, looking up, his grin growing even wider. ”You're so darn cute.”

Sasuke felt like his pride had been dealt a fatal blow, his face refusing to stay pale. ”Shut. Up.”

The blond couldn't help himself anymore, he had to laugh, Sasuke's expression was too priceless. The raven's eye twitched in irritation, and he stood up, picking up their bowls with him.

Seeing his unfinished food disappear, Naruto tried to stop laughing, his speech coming out with chuckles in between. ”Sasuke, honey, sorry, I wasn't laughing at you, I swear!” The glee was apparent on his face, not to mention his voice, so you can't blame Sasuke for not fully believing the blond.

Sasuke put the dishes to the sink, purposefully running some water on them to make the rest of the ramen uneatable, after which he marched out of the kitchen, arms crossed tightly over his chest.

Naruto quickly went to check the damage on the ramen and after shortly mourning at the loss, skipped out of the room, following the pissed off Uchiha.

Kakashi shifted his eyes from his empty plate to Iruka's untouched one, and finally to Iruka himself. ”Aren't you hungry?”

Iruka didn't respond, staring blankly at the milk carton. Kakashi looked at the carton too, chuckling a little (hehe, moo) and then returning to worry about his boyfriend. ”Is this about the desk again?”

The widening of Iruka's eyes told him it was the case. ”Sweetums, I can tell the Fifth to get you a new one, I'm sure she wouldn't mind-”

”A NEW ONE?!” Iruka had finally looked up, fury burning in his eyes. ”That desk is one of a kind, I've had it since EVER!” He stood up, knocking down the chair, and stormed toward the bedroom.

Kakashi sighed and, giving one last glance at the cow on the milk carton, went after him. ”Ruka-chan, what's so special about it? Tell me, I might be able to help.”

Iruka froze for a second or so, and finished pulling the shirt off him. ”If you don't remember, I'm not going to tell you. And you're welcome to sleep on the couch!” He then walked over to him and pushed him out of the room, slamming the door shut to his face.

Kakashi raised his eyebrows, wondering what the hell could have made his brunet so mad. He turned around, sitting on the floor and leaning his back to the door, trying to remember everything that had happened with that desk.

Then it came to him. Late at night, Iruka grading some papers, Kakashi coming looking for him and... ”It's where we had sex for the first time, isn't it?”

He could hear the footsteps stopping before they started coming towards the door. Kakashi had just enough time to jump up before the door flung open and behind it stood Iruka with a sorrowful expression on his face. ”...you don't think it's stupid?”

Kakashi sighed in relief and embraced his lover, who clung to his chest like to a lifeline. ”Of course not, honey.”

They stood there in silence, before a thought occured to the copy-ninja. ”You know, we could always go and do it again.”

Iruka gasped, looking up to his boyfriend's face to make sure he was serious. He bit his lower lip, considering it, and finally smiled wickedly. ”Let's do it.”
