Naruto was awakened in the morning by a loud thunk that made him sit up right in panic. Looking around he found the source to the sound to be coming from Sasuke releasing the lever on the recliner to put the foot rest down. He kicked it with his right foot to finish closing it, muttering an apology for waking him. He got awkwardly to his feet and limped towards the bathroom. Naruto sighed and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, checking the time on his phone before looking around the room. His group would be there in an hour and the place looked like it was hit by a hurricane. Take out containers littered the coffee table, Old bandages, and medical supplies were scattered on the floor, the coffee table was upside down, there was a smell he couldn’t identify (though he briefly wondered if was coming from himself) and the garbage was over flowing. Naruto knew the kitchen was just as bad. He went to the pantry and grabbed a large garbage bag and began cleaning. As he was was finishing the living room, Sasuke emerged from his bedroom. He was dressed in black sweatpants, a white long sleeved-shirt, grey beanie, and white sneakers. “Where are you going? We need to change those bandages.” Naruto said without looking at him. Where were all the remote controls? They should have five but he could only find the one Sasuke had been using the night before.
Sasuke nodded, moving slowly over to the hall closet to grab his black jacket. “I’m going to go for a walk and take a shower first.” He stated, yawning. “I’ll be back in an hour. Why are you cleaning?” He asked tilting his head to the side and looking at Naruto quizzically. Naruto looked up. The dark circles under Sasuke’s eyes had lessened, but he still looked tired. Naruto wondered if he looked just as tired, despite having slept for nearly 10 hrs. Sasuke had barely left that chair since they got home two days ago. It was good to see him willing and able to move around, though he wondered if a walk might be over doing it.
“Study group will be here in an hour. I forgot we were studying all weekend. Sorry.” He scratched the back of his head, absently. He really was distracted lately. Sasuke shrugged and held out his had for the full garbage bags that Naruto was holding. He hesitated before handing it over, and Sasuke rolled his eyes.
“I’m not that broken,” he said irritably.
Naruto handed him the bag. “I know that!” He said defensively.
Sasuke didn’t look at him. “You should shower before they get here. You’ve been wearing the same clothes for four days.” Was all he said before walking out the door. Naruto sighed in exasperation at Sasuke’s mood and went back to cleaning. Pausing to smell himself. Sasuke was right about the shower.
Naruto had cleaned up the garbage, taken the rest out, swept, mopped, showered, and was in the process of wiping down the dining table when there was a knock on the door. He chucked the washcloth he was using into the washer and went the the door. He paused before opening it, hand hovering over the door knob. Of all the times for this to be happening, this might be the worst. Everything was so uncertain... The door bell brought him out of his thoughts. He could hear several voices on the other side. He took a deep breath and turned the handle. All four of his friends were standing on the other side, looking cold. Had the arrived together? “Thought you’d never answer!” Said Sakura, she was shivering and pushed passed him to enter the apartment, rubbing her arms to warm herself. The rest followed suit. Gaara was especially bundled up against the cold. He had grown up in a desert and though he’d lived in Konoha for a number of years, he would never get used to the biting cold of real Winter. It was nearing the middle and he had been wearing heavy clothing since early fall. Gaara glanced at the living room as he came. “He’s moved out of that chair?”
Naruto nodded. “He went for a walk, and even slept last night.”
Gaara shrugged and moving into the kitchen and placed himself at the dining table, with his back to the window. Naruto followed and sat bride him. The other three took the seats opposite them. “He’ll be back soon.” Naruto finished saying to Gaara.
Gaara frowned, “Goody.” He said in the flattest tone he could muster.
Naruto looked at him with raised eyebrows. Gaara’s and Sasuke’s interactions seemed to very from week to week. Sometimes they were quite friendly with each other, and other times it seemed as though one desired nothing more than to rip the others throat out for no reason in particular. “What’s with you? I thought you liked Sasuke. You even hang out with him.”
“We tolerate each other. We only hang out when you’re not around. You’re the only friend either of us has, and the only thing we have in common.” He leaned down and pulled his books from his bag. “But he’s been almost intolerable this week.”
Naruto sighed and looked at the other three. “Sasuke was in a car accident a few days ago. He’s ok. But he’s frustrated because he’s injured and sore, which he won’t take pain killers for cause he doesn’t like how they make him feel, so he’s not sleeping. The antibiotics he’s on make him nauseous, so he’s not eating... and yeah... he’s a bit on the grouchy side this week.”
“This week?” Said Gaara. Naruto ignored him. He glanced at the clock on the wall. It had been an hour and a half since Sasuke left. He should have been back by now. But as his anxious mind began to go over all the possible reason that could have delayed Sasuke, he heard the front door click open. Kiba, however, did not.
“He was always an asshole! I don’t understand how you’re still friends with him!”Sasuke was now standing behind them, but only Gaara and Naruto we’re facing him. Naruto put on his best imitation of Kiba, and raising his voice to a slightly higher pitch, shouted, “Sasuke, you’re an asshole!” Sakura , Kiba, and Shikamaru whirled around to see who Naruto was addressing. Sasuke leaning against the door frame to the kitchen, unfazed. An amused look in his eyes. Sakura blushed slightly. She had forgotten how handsome Sasuke had been, and he seemed to have only gotten more so. He was looking at Naruto however, a soft smile tugged the corners of his mouth at the comment.
He leaned down and picked up a red backpack, that Naruto recognized as his own, and quickly realized that he was the only one at the table without books to actually study from. Sasuke nodded his head slightly to them all in greeting, which only Shikamaru returned, but Sasuke didn’t appear to notice. He handed Naruto the backpack before heading to the fridge. His limp seemed worse, Naruto noted, he’d over done it. Naruto muttered and thanks before asking, “How was your walk?”
“Shut up, idiot,” he answered softly. Grabbing a water out and closing the refrigerator door. Naruto grinned. To others it may seem like an insult, but to Naruto it felt like a term of endearment. Sasuke left the kitchen as quickly and quietly as he’d entered.
There was a moment of silence before Sakura said, “So... how is it you two are living together, and no one knows about it, again?”
Naruto knew this question was coming and had dreaded attempting to answer it.
“To be fair,” interjected Gaara, “I knew.”
