Chapter 4: Adjusting
Naruto sipped his morning coffee as he tried to
calm down his nerves. Waiting was such a drag to him especially
or the source of it. He patiently stood by the window peeking ever so often to
check if his soon to be housemate had
believe that he agreed to do this prank. He was such an idiot. He couldn’t even
comprehend the money he would be shelling out for this project of their so
called revenge. To think he would even live with a total stranger, here in his
own, precious home.
The only consolation he could get out of this was
that seventy-five percent of the money would be coming from his friends, mainly
Kiba since it was idea after all. Damn Dog breath.
The door bell
thoughts and once again plunking him back into
calm himself. Psyching himself that it was all for the better. He gingerly
opened the door only to reveal the
edge as he led the man inside.
“Ah, Shino-sa…”
He earned a quirk of an eyebrow as he said the
raven’s name. “I mean Sasuke. Is that all you’ve got or are we expecting your
other things later?”
“No, this is all I’ve got.” Naruto blushed at the
raven head’s smile and the sultry voice he made. He felt the familiar
quickening of his pulse like it did yesterday when Sasuke touched him. It was
quite vexing actually to have your chest throb and your stomach flipping.
Naruto stared at Sasuke as the man walked towards
the room in a steady
confident stride, like he owned
grabbed the remote control to watch what was on TV. He watched as the raven’s
face broke into
a small grin at
whatever the host was saying on TV. He saw
ogled at Sasuke’s well sculptured chest that was hugged nicely by his tight white wife
beater. He could also see that the man also had
a porn star, not bulky, just tone in perfect places.
‘Shit! Am I turning gay?’
Naruto eyes went wide as he realizes his feelings
for the raven. Was he falling in love? But wasn’t
The throbbing on his chest, the butterflies on his
stomach, this is…
“Oi dobe put my things
bath. I want to bathe before eating.”
…this was
Not even a crush.
Not even a remote feeling of admiration…
This was the feeling of dread.
The feeling that your life
hell…that life was gonna be crap
the devil himself.
This is the feeling of…
“Oi dobe, fix me a meal for a king and hurry up
with that bath.”
Armageddon.

“You’re here too?” Kiba pulled his chair as he sat
down near the lazy irritated genius waiting for their friend. “That baka just
said ‘meet me at Sakuragi’s dinner
“Same here.”
“What do you think he wants?”
“Well we’re soon gonna find out.” Shikamaru cocked
his head towards the approaching blond. Kiba looked over his shoulder and gaped
at how the blond look like.
Blood shot eyes, slightly paling skin, chapped
lips. Man was he like a walking zombie.
“What the hell happened to you?!”
“He…He’s driving me insane.” Naruto leaped towards
Kiba and hugged him tight as he cried openly. Kiba was slightly freaking out.
“What did he do?” Shikamaru was slightly worried
since it was their cute blond they were
exaggeratedly.
“He made me clean our room. He even made me wash
all the dishes…it was horrifying.” Kiba rolled his eyes. He was somewhat miffed
that he was actually feeling genuine concern for the blond. ‘Damn that large
puppy eyes!’ But he just let Naruto stay in
“He made sure that I cleaned the house everyday!
He even said that I should do laundry every week. He’s…”
“Well Naruto welcome to the real world of human
beings…glad you decided to leave Slob land.” Kiba grinned at the blond who was
still clutching his shirt like a baby. Naruto snorted at him and slightly
pushed off the grinning man to properly sit on his own chair. “Jerk!”
“Is this all you wanted to say? You know I think
it was a good thing we hired him. It’s like a two-in-one thing. We could really
use him to straighten you up.” Shikamaru sighed and shook his head in
exasperation.
“Whaa?! Shika.”
“…”
“Okay fine. It was a little exaggerated…but he’s
using my clothes too. Isn’t it a
“Maybe the guy doesn’t have enough clothes. Did
you buy him
clothes like you were supposed to?”
“Err. Well, still he shouldn’t use my towel…”
“Che! Then buy him one.”
“…and my toothbrush.”
“Oh, that’s so gross. It’s like
a gross out face at the blond who now resembled a tomato. “Shut up dog breath.”
“…”
“He’s using everything I have. He’s parading in my
house like he owns it. Eating my food like he bought it. Soon,
and working
there. Or say stuff like
friends and you would be
the rainbow with him. Then I would be here, left alone by you two. You would
then be asking me ‘Who are you?’…then…”
Kiba grabbed both Naruto’s hand and rubbed them
soothingly. “There. There. Don’t worry Naruto. You just need a therapy.
Dr. Psycho would be happy help you.”
A jabbed from Naruto didn’t even stop the erupting
laughter inside Kiba. He was laughing out loud and banging his hand on the
table which in turn made Shikamaru burst into suppressed chuckle. Naruto was
all left pouting at the two idiots, suppressing tears to pour out. “Some
friends I have.”
This made Shikamaru stop chuckling and felt
slightly guilty for making the blond pout. He was on the verge of reaching out
to Naruto to hug him when the said blond was suddenly yanked by the dog man and
hugged him for himself. “Sorry. Sorry.”
Shikamaru was felt a
watched the
circling motion of Kiba’s
just blow him off?”
Naruto broke
from Kiba. “But I already did! But he said he would spill out
herself. The plan would be ruined before it even began!!”
“Smart guy.”
“I’m going to die by his hands. I knew it,
prince of the underworld. I’m going to DIE!!” Naruto grabbed his hair with both
hands and made a terrified look that Kiba and Shikamaru freaked out a bit.
“And you two are going down with me!! I’m going to
haunt your
fucking asses
when I die. I’d gonna fuck up every night dream you have.” Naruto gave a sinister
laugh and made a menacing face to both his friends.
“I’m going to….”
RING.
RING.RING.
“NO!! The devil is calling me!”
