And another...
indira14 10, 1, 7. Some place high up, birthday, pill bottle
Sasuke’s lips twitched. Naruto was shifting beside him, doing something he probably wasn’t supposed to be doing. Looking through his carry-on for some sort of entertainment. Which Sasuke thought was rather ridiculous after a fifteen-minute fight over who would have the window seat. Sasuke argued that he’d be less disturbed if sat along the wall of the plane, Naruto argued with his love of clouds. After much elbowing and general fifth-grade behavior, Sasuke gave in if only to shut Naruto up. And ten minutes into the flight, Naruto had slipped earbuds into his ears.
There was a snoring woman who could easily have taken two seats to his left, and an idiot to his right. And Naruto wondered why Sasuke hated flying.
Finally cracking open an eyelid to see what Naruto was doing and to tell him to stop moving before he tied him to his seat with the cord of their complimentary phone, Sasuke was surprised to see Naruto with his pill bottle. It was medication for Sasuke’s motion sickness. The pills inside were big enough to choke a horse, and the fact that Sasuke had no problem with them was the result of many lewd comments from the man beside him. Sasuke frowned, and then realized that there were no pills in the bottle, even though he swore he’d had half a bottle left after the first flight to the islands. The second thing that struck him was that there were tiny holes in the lid.
The third thing that struck him was that Naruto was talking to it.
“What the FUCK.”
The woman snorted awake and several passengers looked around curiously. Naruto hastily shoved the bottle back into the bag and laughed loudly, patting Sasuke’s arm. “Sorry, sorry,” Naruto said. “He hated flying, gives him the shakes. Right, baby? You okay?”
Many onlookers turned away but Sasuke glared, baring his teeth and leaning into Naruto’s space. “What the fuck is that, dead last?”
Naruto bit his lip, looking a little nervous but he pulled the bottle out. Inside the large bottle, filling around half the space, was a tiny, miniscule turtle.
“You… what…”
“He was abandoned, Sasuke!” Naruto’s voice had taken on a slightly pleading tone. “I was him on the way out from the hotel, in the parking lot. He was lost!”
“That’s what happens, moron, it’s called nature. And I don’t think nature likes trans-continental flights!”
“I think he likes it here more than that parking lot!”
“And moreover,” Sasuke spoke over him, “I don’t think customs will like it either!”
“Oh come on, bastard, it’ll be fine! It’s not like you’ll tell, and if you shut up no one else would hear!”
Sasuke let his bared teeth speak for him.
“Consider this my birthday present,” Naruto wheedled.
“The trip was your birthday present.”
“Then this is part of it, right? Oh come on, lighten up. You won’t turn me in,” he said with such smug confidence Sasuke had to turn away and close his eyes, tilting his head back and saying, “How did I end up with you?”
Naruto bubbled with glee, going back to talking to the stowaway that was all sorts of illegal and Sasuke tried to pretend he was back on the beaches, a strong drink on his left and a quiet Naruto on his right. But since he could have neither, he planned all sorts of legal defenses for when his lover was caught with an illegal immigrant that was no bigger than his thumb.
But Naruto got it home anyway, named it Megatron and let it guard the bookcase in the sitting room in its own little fish tank.
