(teamwork2) chapter 6, scene 1, second tidbit
beginning of the scene.
I don't have a clue where the mission comes from, it just happened. Not sure I'm going to do anything more with it. XD hell, I don't even have a clue how this scene is going to continue or where I'm going with it; so far it's purely character interaction, with only a few vague allusions to plot stuff to make it fit. But then, I gotta move the romance along too, and hey, I like it, so it stays.
Sasuke's bedroom door was firmly closed when Naruto left the shower, but it didn't matter much, since Sasuke himself was in the kitchen. Still whistling, Naruto strutted his way to the couch and his personal stuff, his back to the counter.
He had been expecting an attack for 'forgetting his towel', and dodged the flying spatula easily, but the second of delay between his appearance and the attack made him grin anyway.
"That was sloppy, Sa-su-ke! Distracted?"
"... if in five seconds you're still naked, I'll throw you out of the window."
Naruto bent over the arm of the couch to pick up a shirt and briefs. "Aw, and you'd let people in the street get an eyeful? Some boyfriend you are! What if I get pawed at by old ladies?"
It was still weird to call Sasuke his boyfriend; he was his best friend and teammate first. But it always made Sasuke go all gruff to hide his embarrassment, so hey. "They're welcome to keep you. Hurry up, we're going to be late."
Naruto snickered, and jumped in his pants before joining Sasuke, leaning over the counter to look in the kitchen. Sometimes, he wondered if it was truly alright for him to get between Sakura-chan and Sasuke, physically at least; but Sasuke at least wanted his body bad. He wondered if Sakura found him hot, too, or if she only loved him like a brother.
Well, not the incestuous kind. Or something.
"Hey, Sasuke?"
His teammate was at the stove, frowning at the contents of a pot, and only grunted an acknowledgement.
"Would you have sex with me? I mean, just me, no Sakura."
Sasuke's back stiffened briefly, and he gave him a long, 'where the hell did that come from' look. Naruto grinned, waiting.
"...Maybe. If I was in the mood."
"Hah! You're such a prude." He dodged the ladle, guffawing. "What would it take to get you in the mood?"
"Keep bothering me and you'll see." Sasuke grunted at him.
"...Arguments turn you on? Ahaha! Why am I not surprised?"
Sasuke flung open a cupboard, slammed an instant ramen cup under his nose, and pushed the kettle at him. "Shut up already."
Naruto grinned as he poured the hot water on his noodles, and pretended to forget about the conversation; right now the smell of his favorite food was a lot more interesting.
He watched with interest as Sasuke rolled and shaped onigiri out of his rice. For all that Sasuke could cook reasonably well, he rarely did it where anyone could see him.
"Is that a triangle or a square?" Naruto inquired as he finished his noodles. It was hard to mess up onigiri -- they were only plain rice with salt, wrapped in seaweed, and Sasuke wasn't bothering with several kinds of fillings -- but as for shaping them, he was a little sloppy.
Sasuke frowned and ignored him, apparently offended; Naruto decided to solve the matter by stretching out over the counter and stealing the faulty rice ball.
The ladle hit him soundly over the head, and he almost choked on his onigiri.
"When did I say any of these was for you?"
"Ow! Selfish." Glowering, Naruto swallowed hurriedly, and reached for a second one, glaring at Sasuke defiantly.
... Bastard grabbed the table and dragged it out of reach.
"... That's cheating."
Naruto was ignored again, as Sasuke finished rolling them and stuffing a few in a box to take along.
"... Would you have sex with only Sakura?"
Naruto snickered as one of the rice balls went "splurt" between Sasuke's clenched fingers, and grinned innocently when Sasuke whirled around to give him a death glare.
"What's with all the questions?"
"What? I want to know. 'Cause you see, I know you watch my ass, but I don't see you watch Sakura's all that often, so..."
... Oops. What had he just said now? Sasuke looked angry for real, not simply annoyed.
"So what. You think I'm gay?"
Naruto shrugged, grimacing. "Not entirely, I mean you didn't seem to have a huge problem getting it up that night, but maybe you like boys more than girls. It's not a problem for me, I just wanna know if you think you need me there when you're with her."
"...In other words," Sasuke replied softly, "Do I need a cock up my ass to do her?"
Oh, damnit. "I'm just asking! And you've never looked at most girls twice, so sue me for wondering if maybe you don't find any of them sexy."
Sasuke took a deep breath and released it slowly. "It isn't women in general I don't find sexy. It's vapid twits who shower in perfume, paint their face so much I wouldn't recognize them without, and think that shoving my face in their cleavage will make me lose my head."
Naruto scratched his head. How could he not appreciate pretty, curvy girls, and soft, inviting smiles and cute giggles and squeals, and breasts! How could he not like breasts -- um. Yeah. "...So... you don't like girly girls."
Naruto huffed; Sakura had pretty feminine sides, and while she had sacrificed a lot of that to become a better ninja, she still wasn't naturally inclined to be... un-girly. Naruto liked her like that.
"You'd want Sakura more if she tried to look pretty less and to kick ass more, is that it?"
Sasuke looked away briefly, and Naruto sighed.
"... I'm not going to ask her to wear potato bags and shave her head."
"Well, you better not!" Naruto retorted with a pout. "...Are you sure you're not gay? I mean, if you don't even like to see her boobs--"
"Did I say that? I like them just fine, it's just --" Sasuke clamped his jaws shut, turned away stiffly and washed the smashed rice off his hand.
Naruto cackled. "Just what?"
"Not everyone's a raging pervert who gets off on ogling people in the street."
"So you don't watch?"
"It's called discretion, maybe you've heard of it."
Naruto crowed in triumph. "So you DO watch!"
Sasuke gave him a disgusted look and stuffed his lunchbox in his pack. "That's the stupidest conversation I've ever had with you."
"No way, the stupidest one was about Kakashi-sensei's mask and how he eats through it."
Sasuke shouldered him away from the counter and stomped toward the door. Laughing, Naruto followed, jumping on one foot then the other one as he put on his sandals. He grabbed his own bag on the way and stepped out, waiting by the balustrade while Sasuke locked the door. There were a few white, puffy clouds in the sky, and a light breeze made the leaves of the tree in the courtyard dance; the day promised to be beautiful. A good thing; their mission of the day was going to have them jogging to the next town over to deliver messages for various businesses.
He waved jovially at the Chuunin who was spying on them from the next roof, and thought with some amusement that Tsunade must have found some great leverage in her permanent battle with her counselors; now the days he was under watch were a lot rarer than the days without. Anyway, they left him alone when he was with Kakashi-sensei or some other responsible person, and the annoyance was so minor that he didn't feel like bothering to be annoyed. He suspected that the person who kept him under watch did so as much to nag Tsunade with stuff that she had to pretend to ignore, as because they were really worried he'd lose it and start rampaging. He wasn't going to let them score a point against the old hag off him.
... Though if he wanted to molest Sasuke or Sakura one of these days, he'd better remember to do so with the blinds closed.
"What's so funny?"
Naruto realized that he was grinning, and grinned a little wider. "It's a nice day." Yep; nice weather, a mission that would get them back on the road, Sasuke out of his funk, and a solution to Sakura's health problems in sight. A very nice day.

You might want to look at this sentence again: "He suspected that the person who kept him under watch did so as much to nag Tsunade with stuff that she had to pretend to ignore, as because they were really worried he'd lose it and start rampaging." I had to double take to understand it. Maybe a "than" rather than "as"?
no subject
It does sound weird like that, like it should be wrong, but "as much (x) as (y)" is actually the correct grammar form. I had to edit it several times because it was confusing me. XD

*SNERK* oh yeah, that would be awkward. "No, this isn't a fork stab mark, it's, uh, a triple-fanged snake. Yeah. Very dangerous."

"Oh yeah, triple-fanged? That's crazy. I fought one off once. Nearly bit me in the eye, but I did a karate chop and I cut its head right off."
*Awkward silence*
*snorts*

Naruto can be so obnoxious sometimes haha
Sasuke loves him anyway;DBut Sasuke has to, of course, get his panties in a twist about any and all undertones in Narutos line of questioning.
"...In other words," Sasuke replied softly, "Do I need a cock up my ass to do her?"
Oh, damnit.
Indeed. *winces*
Though, it is so very Sasuke to be easily offended by Naruto's unusual questions. Which is another reason why I really adore your fics, so very IC.
Naruto snickered, and jumped in his pants...
He dodged the ladle, snickering.
Naruto snickered as one of the rice balls...
Too much use of a form of "snicker" methinks.
Good luck with teh writing :D and I doodled something for ya last week for your Uchihacest crossdressing-type-thing but I can't find the time to scan it D:
