Since moving in with his Mother, Naruto had been much, much better-- happier and healthier (although that was debatable considering the amount of ramen they ate) than he could ever have been at the orphanage. It was a nice change to be able to have friends over, and the new addition to the family was serving as a very good excuse to invite his

[Sasuke bangs on the front door, slouched casually. He hasn't played video games in ages--but he's confident he can kick Naruto's ass.

It's good to get out of the house, too. His fingers are blistered from practicing so much, and he's been going slightly crazy trying to figure out something to do that will allow him to avoid Itachi.]

[He hears the knock on the door, and instantly he jumps to his feet, careering down the stairs so loudly that Sasuke would definitely hear it.

He almost falls against the door, struggling to get it open, grin wide when he finally manages to. The weird flip in his stomach he supposes is because of excitement, and he throws the door open, stepping aside to let him in.]

Sasuke! Hey!

[imwithdobe]

[He raises his eyebrow at the noise, backing up a little when the door slams open. He smirks a little, walking past and into the house, glancing around.]

Go easy on me. I have no skin on my fingertips anymore.

[Wiggles his fingers in Naruto's direction, revealing the raw, irritated redness.]

[imwithteme]

[He's happy to let Sasuke in, pushing the door closed behind him and hurrying further ahead, until Sasuke wiggles his fingers in front of his face, and he frowns at them, leaning in closer to look at them. His hand reaches out before he can stop himself, looking up at Sasuke's face to see whether it was okay to touch.]

Uh-- you played too much?

/kind of realized too late that it was in his house and not kushina's classroom--had to modify a bit

[ ...Well, she was already out. Nevermind that it was for other academic reasons, a la community service, she was still out and done.

And it didn't have to be for a long time, just a quick drop-by. She was in the area. And he did invite her and other people, so it'll be like a get-together.

Or, if worse comes to worst, she can tutor and do homework, since she still had her school bag with her. Plus that Mario Power Tennis demo proved interesting, did it not?

...But that shouldn't even be a factor.
Okay. Wait. Where was she again? Reaching out to new students. Right.

Have a few even steady knocks on that door of yours. ]

DO NOT WORRY =DDD

[He wasn't sure who would turn up, really. He'd asked, literally everyone, and it had been a nice feeling, to ask so openly if people wanted to come over for a bit, rather than have to lie about not being allowed friends over when he lived at the orphanage, people seemed to talk to him differently when they found out he lived there-- if they didn't already act weird around him, anyway.

The knock on the door perks him up instantly, and he hurries off - throwing it open so fast his arm gets caught in the movement, and he ends up hopping back a few steps to stop his arm getting ripped off entirely.]

Sa-Sakura-chan!?

[It's a surprise really-- of all people. He can feel his cheeks heating up already.]

Hi.
