5. In A Daze

                                    

                                          
S. 
                          
The idiot and I have been getting along pretty well. I helped him with his stuff and he seems to be settling in fine. Not that he had to adjust alot, it's just me and his old apartment. He has been a little sensitive though, considering the fact that he just got out of a serious relationship. But he'll get back to his usual self, eventually, and I'll help him with anything he wants me to.
                          
The night when he came back was...the best night I had had in months! The six months that I had to live without him by my side were weird and were spent in a daze, literally spent in a daze. I traveled, fucked and drank. I got into fights, ended some contracts with clients, which was a very unnecessary move on my part. I even asked that Yuri guy to stay with me, which was a first for me, what was I even thinking? Yeah I agree that I was a fucking mess. But I didn't even have to try to get better when Naruto came back. I simply had no desire to do anything stupid anymore. It was that simple.
                          
He hired me for a few projects for the magazine, so that meant that I'd be staying home for some time at least. Which also meant that we would be getting more time to spend with one another, that is, if he wanted to ofcourse. It also gave me time to sort out my feelings for him. I know that I feel more for him than simply friendship, I'm sure of it now. I'm sure because none of my lovers, heck noone in my life ever made me feel like he does. Only he has the ability to mend my soul and get me riled up to no awail. Only him.
                          
So I decide to wait and see and maybe try to listen what my mind and body told me. At this moment we are arguing on a trivial subject, he wouldnt give up and neither would I, with no surprises there. 
                          
"The client is fucking suing you for breech of contract and malpractice Sasuke. What the fuck were you thinking dropping them like that?" 
                          
See? Trivial. The client in question is the one i dropped during my Naruto-moved-out episode. So can you blame me? Okay maybe a little but can you really? "You wanna catch the new sci-fi? It's got good rating and-" 
                          
"Are you even listening to me!? They're suing you and to top it off, you'd already slept with the manager, so there's that too!" 
                          
"Nothing you have to concern yourself with moron. My lawyer will handle it" 
                          
He scoffed, "Yeah right your hippie of a lawyer will handle this. No way, I'm lending you Shika", he said crossing his arms. 
                          
"Okay it hasn't come to that yet, your lawyer and I don't see eye to eye" 
                          
"That's because he's a no-bulshit guy and you can't stop bulshitting around", he mumbled to himself, well I heard it. I gave him a glare, but he's pretty much immune to it so..
                          
Long story short, the idiot's lawyer Shikamaru Nara helped me settle my case. He's one expensive bastard I'll have to say, but it worked out, so whatever. Naruto made me give him my word that I wouldn't do anything stupid of the sort again. 
                          
After Im done with the shoot for the day, I walked into the idiot's office and saw him working his ass off, like always. 
                          
"Get up. We're eating out" 
                          
He looked up to see me, "Huh? You're breaking up with my home cooked food?"
                          
I could never. "You're smashed and I'm hungry. Plus, I'm buying". I try to keep a straight face seeing him pout like that. He's pouting. Pouting, ahh. 
                          
"In that case, let me finish up", he grinned. 
                          
We headed outside the building sometime after and I began to walk. 
                          
"Aren't we taking the car?", he asked. 
                          
I remained quiet and kept walking, so he followed without asking a second time, which was a blessing to be honest. We stumbled upon a little eatery. It was quaint, but the food was nice. Afterwards I managed to get him to join me for a few drinks at a bar nearby. Few drinks turned into too many, too soon.
