teamwork ficlet - House Rules - n° 5.

180 words, bit angsty. I was trying to figure out more house rules to write about, make a little collection of ficlets, but so far no luck. Oh well, they'll come.


5. There is to be No Brooding outside of the Brooding Room.

"Sasuke?"

Sasuke looks up from the paperwork spread on his desk and arches an eyebrow in question. Naruto didn't wait to be invited in before he cracked the door open; he's peering in, smiling.

More like grimacing, actually. Sasuke's eyebrow comes down into a (worried) quizzical frown.

"What is it?"

"Can I borrow the room?"

Sasuke spares a quick glance around his office. It's small and cramped and full of overflowing bookcases, and the window is deliberately tiny. Sometimes Sakura needs things in there. Naruto never does. All his important paperwork is at the Tower and he adamantly refuses to bring work home.

He looks at Naruto again.

When he works at the kitchen table he inevitably gets it back covered in jam or chocolate splatters or other such children's snack foods. Not to mention the infernal racket, infighting, and demands for attention. "Sure," he says, and gathers his clan paperwork into a pile.

He makes a note to check with the mission board for another team that didn't make it home.

Aw! Poor Naruto. ): But I like that Sasuke makes the effort and even decides to deal with things that irk him for Naruto's sake. (:

I think I love the title the best.

Is this a actual set of rules that Team 7 made up for living together? And if so, can we please see the other rules?

*huggles*


I'm sure you'll get back into the swing of things. At least you are still putting stuff out unlike me who is just on a reading binge lately.

BTW I thought of a rule for chores while in the shower.

Chores - There will be no whining about chores if you are under the age of five and a henge doesn't count.

N'awww, Sasuke ♥

Poor Naruto *cuddles*

I don't know why, but I love the detail about the window being "deliberately tiny." Somehow, I can imagine Sasuke going through each room trying to figure out which one to use for an office, sees that window and decides it's perfect.

Sasuke loves Narutooooooo. And I love the way he loves him. This is such a sweet little ficlet in the angstysweet way you're so good at writing (gah I fail at English today but I hope you know what I mean)

I love Hokage!Naruto, and I want to hug him so much right now. Also, I love how functional this relationship is.

!!!!!

Hokage!Naruto! This is so in-character -- that's one thing I always wonder if Naruto will be able to handle, the part where some of his people die. But. Hokage!Naruto! ♥~~
