The gods of Tuesday had bestowed their mercy upon Sasuke. A robotic male voice announced the cancellation of school today. One of the main water pipes had completely fritzed out at Sasuke's school Monday afternoon. Naruto cheered when the automated message sounded over the answering machine.
The nights between their eventful Saturday and Monday had been pleasant for both boys. When one or the other did not fall asleep quickly, it was only because they wished to study the other's breathing or glance at their expressions in sleep. They slept more soundly than they usually did, and they no longer felt a need to readjust themselves when their bodies met at night.
Usually, Naruto would fall asleep with his head on Sasuke's chest, Sasuke's arm resting over him protectively. Of course, Naruto was prone to some rather awkward positions as the night hours carried on, all sorts of limbs hanging off the bedside as they were unbound by their typical sleeping bag. When it was time for Sasuke to get ready for school on Monday, Naruto woke him up with a smile and a peck on the lips. This was certainly better than any alarm clock.
School on Monday had been particularly boring, even by Sasuke's standards. He spent all of lunch hour in the library, working ahead on his schoolwork as his friends ate and chattered together. As frustrated as he was with Kabuto, and even the other three, it felt rather solitary to Sasuke. Still, he supposed it was something he could acclimatize to.
Juugo left the others to find Sasuke with his nose pressed into his pre-calculus book. He asked Sasuke to join them, but Sasuke politely refused. He told Sasuke that all three of them had been fine after the party, and that he was merely overreacting. Sasuke was sure that Juugo missed his presence, since Sasuke was the only one in their group whom Juugo had truly connected to. When Sasuke remained stubborn, Juugo left him, visibly frustrated. It had not been a pleasant experience for Sasuke, but he wasn't going to disappoint himself or Naruto.
Sunday evening, Sasuke had weaseled some rather handy information out of Naruto. It ended up that he had an indescribable and all-encompassing fear of ghosts. Accordingly, Sasuke had dared Naruto to watch an old ghost slasher movie with him at their next opportunity. Naruto vehemently refused... Of course until Sasuke phrased it as a dare, and called Naruto a pussy. No one calls Uzumaki Naruto a pussy.
"Oh god oh god oh god. She shouldn't go in there... Why would she go in there?"
The two were sitting on Sasuke's bed, staring at his small television set. Sasuke jabbed Naruto's side, straining to hear the movie over his rambling.
"Are you going to shut up, or should I just turn on the subtitles?"
"Oh no... She's...she's gonna open that door."
Naruto lifted his hands to his mouth. Sasuke rolled his eyes as Naruto clawed into his forearm, a loud bang sounding as an empty room was revealed. Naruto jolted, spilling popcorn into their laps.
"Fuck! I hate it when they do that. False alarm. Just to get you on the edge of your...EEE! Oh SHIT."
A malignant specter appeared, beheading the unfortunate character. Naruto emitted a high-pitched squeal, suddenly jumping about a foot to the left into Sasuke's lap. Naruto watched the rest of the movie peeking through his fingers. The blond wasn't kidding when he said ghost movies scared him shitless.
Naruto cleaned up the popcorn he'd spilled, while Sasuke flicked off the television. It was getting a little late, just several minutes to midnight. But Sasuke didn't have school tomorrow, and Itachi wasn't coming home until Tuesday night. Why not take advantage of it? Maybe he'd challenge Naruto to a video game, cook them a meal, or just seduce the blond and do all sorts of exciting things to him.
Sasuke glanced over at the clock, noticing that midnight had hit.
"Happy Tuesday," he grunted unenthusiastically.
Suddenly, just seconds later, the air began to take on a strong chill. It seemed to get worse by the second.
"Shit..." Naruto shivered, sticking his arms underneath his shirt, "What happened to the temperature in here?"
Sasuke shrugged.
"Maybe the thermostat's busted."
The blond laughed, a little nervously, "Isn't a weird coincidence this all happened at midnight?"
The air was growing still colder. Goosebumps prickled Sasuke's upper body, Naruto huddling into him for warmth.
"You're reading too much into it."
"But... Has this happened before? I mean, it's really cold."
"No," Sasuke responded, "But does it really matter?"
Naruto silenced himself, his body tense as his eyes darted around the room.
"Besides, it's just the thermostat. It's not like the whole house is on the fritz."
It was horribly ironic that the lights began to flicker, a sickly glow illuminating the house before all fell to darkness.
"Sasuke... This... This is really weird. What's going on?"
Naruto was clinging to Sasuke's arm now, looking over his shoulders quickly, only to see darkness.
"Well, this is convenient. Pick up the phone. I'll look for the number for the power company."
Blond locks flung as Naruto shook his head.
"No, I think I wanna stay next to you."
Sasuke taunted, "Too scared?"
"Hell no!"
"Then pick up the phone."
Naruto grumbled, his groping hand finally stumbling upon the phone. Naruto picked it up...
"Sasuke... The line is dead."
Sasuke grunted, rummaging his bedstand for his cell phone.
"Great. It won't even turn on."
Naruto let out a faint whine, which he believed Sasuke would not hear. He did.
"This is...really weird. Why is all of this stuff happening at once?"
The raven shrugged, sitting next to Naruto.
"Stranger things have happened."
The older of the two tugged on Sasuke's sleeve tentatively.
"Sasuke... Has anything ever happened to make you think maybe your house is...haunted?"
The Uchiha snickered.
"Are you trying to say there's a ghost in here?"
Naruto stammered, "Uh... Ghost, maybe ghosts. I don't know! The phones, the power, and the room temperature are freaking out on us within minutes of each other. Explain that!"
"Don't be an idiot," Sasuke chided. "There's no such thing as ghosts."
The smaller pointed at the other male frantically.
"Ah! Ah! See, you can't explain it!"
"I can't believe we're even having this conversation... What are you doing?"
Naruto had placed Sasuke in front of him, hiding behind his shoulders and head.
"I don't wanna look. What if something pops out at me?!"
"For fuck's sake..."
Loudly, from the bottom floor, static crackled in the air. Opera music played, glitching from some sort of interference from time to time. Naruto screamed, sounding a bit younger and more feminine that was flattering. Sasuke shook his head, smirking in amusement.
"Ohmygodohmygodohmygoood... This is so, so creepy."
Sasuke frowned, allowing Naruto to shrink behind him.
"I guess it is a little creepy."
Naruto's jaw dropped. Even Sasuke was admitting it!
"But there has to be an explanation," Sasuke reasoned.
The music continued to blare beneath them, echoing throughout the dark and frigid house.
"Yes, Sasuke. Ghosts! That's the explanation!"
Sasuke groaned, warming his biceps with his hands, "Fucking freezing in here..."
"See! See!"
"Are you even listening to yourself? This is ridiculous."
Naruto whimpered, "This is scary..."
"Listen, dumbass..."
Sasuke placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder before continuing, "I'm going to go downstairs and figure things out. Then you'll feel like a total idiot for all of this, and I'll laugh at you."
Naruto's reflexes worked faster than a steel trap, his hand clamping down on Sasuke's forearm.
"Nooo, no, no. You can't leave me in this dark, creepyass room all alone."
The Uchiha snickered, "What would you do without me?"
"We are not splitting up. That is like...the number one thing not to do in this situation!"
Naruto could not see Sasuke roll his eyes through the heavy black, but it was more than evident in his voice.
"This isn't some B-grade horror flick. This is real life, and I'm not freezing my ass off in the dark because you're scared of the boogeyman."
Sasuke yanked his arm out of Naruto's vice grip.
"Nooononononono..."
And with that, Sasuke was gone, leaving the door slightly ajar as his footsteps bounced down the hall.
Well, this was it. Naruto had lived a full life, all sixteen years of it. Still, it was a shame he was going to die tonight. But there were good times. He looked back and encountered a myriad of good memories, almost all of which involved food. Ah, yes, that macaroni had been out of this world. His hands fumbled as he backed himself into the wall, covering his backside so that he would be ready for any...unwelcome intruders.
With a wicked smirk on his face, Sasuke used his flashlight to sift through the downstairs coat closet. Perfect, there it is. Tonight hadn't been that difficult, really. He assumed that Naruto would know nothing of timed thermostats or power breakers. He knew how those lights flickered when finally extinguishing; even he thought they were a little eerie. And the radio alarm clock? Of course, he hadn't expected Naruto to notice that it had a battery reserve.
And Naruto bought it all, hook, line, and sinker. For a prank this elaborate, things had been going even more smoothly than he had hoped. And why? Why would he do this, to the wide-eyed, skittish blond? With those flirty texts, Naruto had dug his own grave. Sasuke had even warned him. The idiot knew he had it coming, sooner or later. But the short and sweet version? No one pranks Uchiha Sasuke.
Pushing the hangers to the other side, Sasuke pulled out his brother's long trench coat in the very back. The coat draped over Sasuke's entire frame, the Uchiha popping the collar to obscure his face. He picked a fedora off the top shelf and carefully placed it on his head. If not properly concealed, his hairstyle would give him away in a heartbeat. He stood in front of the window, the street lights casting a faint lumination behind him.
He took a deep inhale. Sometimes Sasuke believed he had the emotional capacity of a watermelon. He would be a horrible actor he mused. The raven focused. What made him scared? Why did he have to be so damned fearless? Wait... Plant roots. Plant roots were creepy as hell.
"NARUTO!"
He made his best attempt at fear and desperation. That hadn't been so bad. Whatever the case, he must've been believable enough, as Naruto's clomped down the stairway so fast that it sounded like he'd rolled down a hill. He froze in his tracks as he saw the silhouette of a coated figure, standing tall and eerie behind the dimly lit window.
Sasuke did not believe that there were words in the English language to describe the shriek that projected out of Naruto's mouth. The closest he could come was to say that it sounded like some godawful mixture of a pterodactyl, an Indian, and a duck being asphyxiated.
Sasuke snickered, just about to laugh when Naruto closed the space between the two of them faster than a lightning bolt, all the while emitting his ungodly battle cry. No, this was...not supposed to happen. Naruto grabbed a flowerpot on the way, violently chucking it at Sasuke's head. Luckily, the Uchiha ducked, taking the collision on his left shoulder blade. Sasuke coughed.
"Fuck!"
Naruto continued to punch the mysterious figure, catching its back and arms as it protected its head.
"Where's Sasuke?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH SASUKE?!"
"Stop it! I'm Sasuke!"
But Naruto could not hear him over his own hysteria. In the scuffle, the fedora flew off of Sasuke's head.
"Where is he, you bastard?!"
"It's me, you moron!" Sasuke shouted as loudly as he could muster.
His jaw dropped, staring at the coated figure and pointing frantically.
"Possessed!"
Sasuke groaned. He'd done too good of a job, perhaps.
"Would you fucking listen? Considered yourself paid back in full."
Naruto squinted his eyes suspiciously.
"Payback?"
"Yes," Sasuke sighed. "After all the shenanigans you caused with my cell phone, I told you I'd get you back."
A pause. What was Sasuke talking about?
"You!"
Naruto gave Sasuke one last emphatic point before his hands plummeted to his sides.
"You fucking...assdickshitfuckstick...douche canoe!"
Raven brows rose as Sasuke took a moment to appreciate the originality of this newly discovered expletive. Still catching his breath, Naruto erupted into laughter.
"You scared the shit outta me!"
"Yes, that was the idea."
"That..." Naruto panted. "Okay, I admit. That was good."
"Why would you attack some otherworldly intruder in a trenchcoat? You're supposed to run."
Naruto laughed, ruffling the hair at the back of his head.
"Sorry, man. Fight or flight. Sometimes adrenaline makes the choice for you."
So, perhaps not everything had gone to plan. The bruise on Sasuke's shoulder probably wouldn't disappear for at least a couple weeks. Still, remembering the impressive scream that Naruto gave at the night's climax, Sasuke knew that it had been worth it.
"Learn your lesson yet?"
Naruto chuckled.
"Oh, I learned my lesson alright."
Sasuke smirked triumphantly.
"That is...you look damned sexy in a trenchcoat."
