Sasuke awoke early and was confused at first. His arm hurt, Naruto had used it as a pillow all night, their legs were intertwined, and Naruto held onto him tightly. Sasuke could feel everything pressed against him. Naruto was hard and rubbing against him in his sleep. Sasuke couldn't just wiggle out from Naruto's grasp, so he just stayed where he was. He felt like he couldn't move, he didn't want to disturb the adorable blonde that was practically on top of him.
                          
Sasuke dozed off while waiting for Naruto to wake up, unconsciously playing with the blondes hair. Then Naruto woke up, very slowly. He felt the warm fingers rake through his hair, the warmth radiating right next to him that he cuddled up to, and the hard body he was practically on top of. Naruto's eyes opened slowly and soon realized the compromising position the two of them were in.
                          
The both of them were quite comfortable laying with each other.
                          
A moment later and they both were awake. Naruto blushed but he didn't move, not yet. They both silently enjoyed the moment together. Even if Naruto had moved to get up, Sasuke would've pulled him back to bed. Neither wanted to lose the warmth the other gave anyway.
                          
Naruto was the first to move. He got up and went to the bathroom. Sasuke reluctantly got out of bed and started making the two of them eggs, rice, and put seasonings on the table. When Naruto came out of the bathroom, breakfast was done and set up. 
                          
Sasuke popped into the bathroom quickly and then they sat down together and started eating.
                          
"So, last night..." Sasuke said, rubbing the back of his head, "did that help any?" He was embarrassed but enjoyed the cuddle filled night.
                          
"Um, yeah I think so." Naruto blushed. "I think this melatonin and cuddling thing will work for the time being. At least until I can start sleeping regularly again."
                          
"Since we know we will be sleeping together again, do you want to spend the day here?" Sasuke asked.
                          
Naruto contemplated it a minute, asking, "We've been spending every day together for a while, is it okay? I know we both have other friends and I could be keeping you from yours."
                          
"Naruto." Sasuke interrupted.
                          
"Yes."
                          
"If I didn't want to hangout with you, I wouldn't. You are not keeping me away from anyone. If I didn't want to be around you, I would go find something else to do or find someone else to spend time with. I'm the one asking you if you want to hang out, not the other way around." Sasuke hesitantly cupped Naruto's cheek with one hand, his thumb made soft, soothing circles on Naruto's cheek as he said, "Do you want to hang out again or do you want to see your other friends? Either way my door will always be open for you."
                          
Naruto smiled, placing his hand ontop of Sasuke's, "I would love to hang out again."
                          
Sasuke smirked and let go. "Whatever shall we do today?" He faked complained.
                          
"We can train, read up on either the latest or oldest ninjutsu, listen to the radio, maybe-" there was a knock on the door that interrupted Naruto.
                          
Sasuke groaned before going to answer. "Yes?"
                          
"Sasuke Uchiha, the Hokage is asking for both you and Naruto Uzumaki to come see her at once. Naruto wasn't home, do you know where he is so I can also tell him?" A ninja, sent to get ninja at Tsunade's request, asked.
                          
"I'll find him and take him with me."
                          
The ninja said bye before Sasuke closed the door. "You heard him, we have to go see Lady Tsunade."
                          
Naruto sighed, "Of course. Well, at least it's a mission we get to do together."
                          
~~~
                          
"Naruto, Sasuke, Thank you for coming on such short notice." Tsunade smiled as the boys came into the room. Both Shizune and Sakura stood by her desk, organizing relevant documents. "I have an A-Rank mission for you, an escort of a VIP."
