AN: Something cute and the such. I am sick so not much to say from me. :3

*~*~*~*

Sitting back, Ibiki watched as his roommate and newest romantic interest, not that he would admit this to anyone, walked around their kitchen, putting things away. The large man had to say that it was cute, the way that the young man would clean and fuss things into just the right place. He wondered if Naruto wasn't slightly OCD about various things before shoving it from his mind.

Every ninja was OCD in some way, it was just what they were OCD about that were different.

Crossing one leg as he shifted his chair, Ibiki smirked as Naruto huffed and finished washing the last cup.

“I should be preparing for my clans meeting,” the blond drawled, enjoying the way his companion raised an eyebrow and smirked at him.

“Should you?” Ibiki asked, tilting his chair back on two legs. “I'm certainly not holding you back from doing so.”

“I seem to remember someone here taking me out on a picnic while I should have been working on my speech,” Naruto drawled, giving the other man a long look. Ibiki just continued to smirk as he shrugged, hardly repentant about dragging the blond off for the day.

“Raidou was right, you need to be dragged off on occasion, otherwise you’ll get sick in the long run,” he said, shifting his chair to rest once more on four legs. “You’re relaxed and you’re ready for the meeting tomorrow,” Ibiki stated, making Naruto nod in agreement.

“True. I think though, I’m going to go take a shower and get some sleep for tomorrow. Who is going to be my personal guard for while you’re working down stairs?” he asked, drying his hands on a towel before hanging it on a hook. The bald man did a one shoulder a shrug, watching his blond companion pull out the tea kettle. They had fallen into the habit of having tea before bed when they were up in the last few days, finding that it helped them relax.

“I don’t know yet. I’m looking at several of my ANBU who wouldn’t be that odd to see you with,” Ibiki finally admitted, watching Naruto fill the kettle with water and place it onto the stove to heat.

Naruto thought for a few moments before musing aloud, “There’s not many and you know it. Neji maybe could get away with it every so often because we do train together, but the same goes with Itachi and Kakashi when he’s playing ANBU. Raidou and me don’t really go out and about in public since we prefer movies and the such,” shrugging as the kettle went off. Taking it off the stove, he reached up and pulled two mugs down from a cabinet, adding tea balls that they had started to keep ready for ease of making and enjoying their nightly tea.

Pouring the hot water over the two tea balls, Narutos ears twitched at the sound of leather shifting, prompting him to look over his shoulder. Ibiki had stood and was shrugging out of his coat, hanging it on a hanger that hung from a coat rack.

“You really should move that,” Naruto teased, getting a dry look as he removed the tea balls, laying them in the sink.

“You know why I keep it in here then in my front hall,” the large man growled, making Naruto snicker softly and nod his head.

“Yeah, yeah, I know,” Naruto chirped, walking over and handing Ibiki his mug that held very lightly sweetened tea. Holding his own, he wrapped long fingered hands around the warmth and sighed happily, eyes closed as he breathed in the fragrant steam. Ibiki sat down at the table, just watching the young blond nearly melt as he continued to scent the tea. It was fascinating to watch the sweet male before him relax and become more human then most nins of the village.

It was rare to find the time to relax, to just forget about the blood on their hands, or to remember and mourn the loss of their humanity and the people that had fallen to the job. It was even rarer to find someone who could under stand where they were coming from, what was going on in their heads. But when they found that time, and they found that person, they used it well.

Ibiki himself allowed himself to brood a bit or indulge in a book or two on techniques that would come in handy with his job. Occasionally he would create a new idea or jutsu, having several genjutsus under his belt for his interrogations.

Naruto though, he cleaned or drank tea. He trained most of his free time and the rest of the time, he went on missions to make sure he had money at any one time, an unfortunate side effect of his past. So when he had the rare time when he just couldn’t do anything or had nothing to do, he tended to do things that were mindless. Ibiki had discovered that 3 days after Naruto had moved in with him.

The fox had scrubbed the entire house, bar Ibikis bedroom, from top to bottom. He had actually found several things that the interrogator had thought lost in the attic. His house had been organized and sanitized in a way that surprised the man, the scents of his favored softly scented cleaners filling the air around him. It had only taken a day or two for the natural scents of him and his companion to replace it, but it was softer in scent instead of stale…old.

After he had cleaned and organized the entire house, Naruto had taken a hot shower and bath before coming down and making tea. Honey Vanilla tea to be precise, which had been a surprised to Ibiki. Naruto had just told him that the tea was soft in flavor and didn’t keep him awake with caffeine since it was naturally decaffeinated.

Ibiki found he enjoyed the tea to, but instead of the honey that Naruto added, he added a bit of simple syrup that Naruto had introduced him to. It seemed as if many of his new addictions came back to the small blond.

“So, Naruto, do you want someone to be with you while you’re in the meeting?” Ibiki asked after a few minutes of comfortable silence between them. Naruto shook his head, taking his own seat finally.

“No, I can’t have anyone with me. There can’t be weapons in the meeting all either,” he said, shrugging. “A jutsu was set up when the first clan heads came together to stop any fighting because back then, more then just the Hyuugas and Uchihas were fighting. Nearly every clan had a beef with each other about something or another,” he explained, Ibiki nodding.

“I remember hearing about that. Something about how a lot of the clans came from feuding areas and that carried over after they were set up,” Ibiki drawled, getting a smile and a nod.

“Yeah, so the first and second hokages set up the jutsu and laid out the rules. The clan council room has a strict no fighting and no weapons rule. Can’t stop the debates, anger and snipping but any attacks within the floor of the same room are seen as traitorous,” Naruto continued, sipping his tea once more. “As for a guard, only those who are part of the clans can enter. I should have Neji and Shikamaru at the least with me. More then likely Choji and Ino to if they can make it.”

“At least you’ll be surrounded by friends,” Ibiki drawled, once more getting a smile and a nod. “Good. Then I won’t have to hurt someone for daring to touch the one I’m courting.”

“Courting? You…what?” Naruto squeaked as Ibiki stood up with a smirk on his face, moving into the kitchen to rinse out his cup and toss the tea leaves.

“Courting. I want to ask Tsunade-sama for her permission, but only if you don’t mind,” Ibiki drawled, enjoying the wide eyed look on Narutos face.

“You really want to court me?” Naruto finally asked, looking shyly down at his cup. “No ones really wanted to court me before. Even after my clan status was discovered.”

“I want to. I find myself drawn to you and a courtship is a good way to get to know you in a more romantic way instead of a regular friendship. Especially since we’ve had one for years already,” Ibiki stated, getting a shy smile.

“I’d like that. I’ll expect the scroll with Tsunade-baa-chans signature on it soon, possibly with Iruka-kuns signature since he is like my older brother,” Naruto said, rinsing his own cup. Kissing Ibikis cheek, he bounced up the stairs, leaving the large man to whimper in slight fear.

“For a Chunin, Iruka-san is a scary, scary mother hen. Why me?” Ibiki sighed, finally shaking his head and making his own way up the stairs, flipping off lights behind him.
