Description
Sasuke went up with his gifts and knocked on Naruto’s door. After a few minutes of knocking, a voice was heard.

“I’m coming, I’m coming! Geez!” Naruto made his way over towards the door and while opening it, said. “If this is some kind of caroling thing you better leeeeave.”

Naruto and Sasuke just looked at each other. Naruto had his mouth open and his eyebrows looked like they could go off his head; whereas, Sasuke had a smile on his face.

“Hey dobe.” Sasuke greeted.

Naruto’s shoulders tensed and he slammed the door in the raven’s face. Sasuke banged on the door and wiggled the handle, trying to get the door open.

“Naruto! Naruto please open the door!” Sasuke yelled.

“No! Go away you....bastard!” Naruto yelled while hurryingly picking up all the article he had scattered across his apartment.

“No! I’m not going anywhere! Please open the door!” Sasuke pleaded.

“No!” Naruto finalized throwing all the articles into a closet.

Sasuke picked up a cup of instant ramen.

“I have ramen.” Sasuke bargained.

“So do I.” Naruto shot back.

“I have six boxes of instant ramen.” Sasuke said putting the ramen back into its box.

Naruto opened the door and looked around Sasuke for the ramen.

“That’s not a six boxes.” Naruto pointed out not looking at Sasuke but the one box of ramen the raven had by his feet.

“The others are in my car.” Sasuke explained quickly.

“So...why’re you here?” Naruto asked glaring at the raven.

“Naruto...I’m sorry.” Sasuke apologized sincerely, locking eyes with Naruto.

“Well, that makes everything better.” Naruto said incredulously, grabbing the door. “Bye.”

“Wait.” Sasuke grabbed the door. “Naruto please listen to me.”

“No, now let go!” Naruto pushed the door harder trying to close it as Sasuke tried to squeeze through.

“Dobe.” Sasuke said as he felt the door try to squish him.

Finally, Sasuke wiggled his way inside, causing Naruto stumble and slam the door. At the loud bang Naruto cringed and held his head as he straightened up, his hangover shining through.

“Ow.” He whined.

“Are you ok?” Sasuke asked concerned.

“Shut up! Get out!” Naruto yelled pointing to the door as he distanced himself from Sasuke.

“Naruto please listen to me!” Sasuke pleaded following the blonde.

“Listen to you?!” Naruto yelled still walking away. “Why the hell should I?!”

“I’m trying to tell you that I still care about you! So, listen!” Sasuke yelled balling his fists.

Naruto stopped in his tracks and turned to Sasuke.

“You bastard!” He seethed out. “Three years ago...three years ago today!”

“I know but-” Sasuke tried to say but Naruto cut him off.

“You broke up with me three years ago today! You looked at me with no emotion in your eyes, like you were explaining the weather or something!” Naruto threw his hands in the air, seething with anger. “You told me I was holding you back from your company, and now you want to apologize?!”

“Yes!” Sasuke yelled back. “I made a mistake, -a ton! I screwed up, practically, my whole life! But I want to make it up to you! I want to be with you!”

“That’s not what you said to me thr-”

“I know!” Sasuke interrupted “I was so caught up in the new money, the new power. I was obsessed!” Sasuke looked at the ground ashamed of himself. Then he looked back at the blonde who was examining him. “I was wrong.”

“Yeah you were.” Naruto folded his arms over his chest and glared at Sasuke.

“I know you won’t forgive me now.” Naruto opened his mouth to yell something, but Sasuke interrupted him. “So, I’ll just leave this stuff outside your door.”

Naruto looked down at the floor and they were silent for a few seconds. Sasuke went towards the door and opened it.

“Naruto.” Sasuke called. Naruto looked up at him and their vision locked. “Please know I still love you.”

Then Sasuke left the apartment. Naruto looked at the door and slowly walked over to it, he crouched near it and listened to Sasuke’s footsteps as he delivered all the boxes of ramen. Then after a half hour, Naruto opened the door. The hallway had six boxes of ramen and a one bocce of roses, with a note and some pills. Naruto picked up the note and pills.

Dobe,
Here are some pills for your hangover and some flowers to remind you I love you and ramen...because you love ramen.

Love, Sasuke

Ps. Merry Christmas

Naruto laughed a bit at the ramen part then began to bring all the boxes into his apartment. That night Naruto kept thinking of Sasuke and how sincere he looked. Meanwhile, Sasuke was lying in his bed thinking of ways to get Naruto back.
