《The Boy》Chapter 3: Bad Start
Advertisement
The next morning, Sasuke finally woke up to the ringing of the house phone on his desk. His right hand reached out to search for the receiver but for some reason it was really dark. He sat up quickly and received a flash of light from the cracks in the curtains.
Unprepared and confused at what was going on, he looked around with shielded eyes and saw the cover on the floor that must have been over him. With no idea how it got there, he didn't bother to think on it to long. He then answered the phone to stop its obnoxious ringing rather than to see who was calling.
"Hello?" the raven yawned out as he stretched.
"Sasuke where the hell are you?! It's like 10:30! I've been calling for hours!!" Sakura hissed out over the phone, making sure to use Sasuke's first name to signal how serious this was.
"Sakura it's not 10- Oh shit!" he shouted once he saw the alarm clock. He jumped up, dropping the phone in the process and dashed into his room.
"Sasuke, Sasuke? Ugh!!" Her frustration echoed before she hung up.
Sasuke was stripping by now to get ready for a shower. He cursed himself repeatedly for over sleeping that much! He knew had an alarm set to wake him up but it didn't go off. He didn't have to time figure out why it didn't so he just hopped in the shower.
Once done he hurried out, dried off and brushed his teeth. He then did a quick comb over his hair. After he was done with that rushed routine, he stumbled around getting dressed. Reason for his stumbling was because he couldn't find his cell anywhere.
Sasuke eventually gave up and decided it was best to just head out. He stopped at the door when he saw his briefcase there. Not understanding how that got there, he accepted it anyway. He then stormed out the door and made sure to lock it behind him.
He jumped in his car and drove off to work arriving there around 11. He ran inside the building to see Sakura pointing urgently up, signaling he had guests. He nodded her a thanks before he headed up stairs.
In his office sat Hinata and her partner/husband Kiba, wearing matching light gray business suits. They sat in the leather swivel chairs pulled up to his desk.
"Forgive me I was up all night working and had the weirdest dream as a result," Sasuke explained while he took his seat behind his desk.
Hinata just smiled and shook her head while Kiba eyed Sasuke curiously.
"Well as long as you made it." Hinata spoke, kindly. She brought up her own briefcase to open afterwards.
"You look like hell Uchiha. You finally got married?" Kiba joked a little too well resulting in a glare from Hinata.
Sasuke chuckled and shook his head.
"You know that ship has long since sailed." he placed briefcase on the desk to open. He found his phone within it and some of his papers askew all over the place.
Kiba leaned up out of his seat to look at the mess in Sasuke's briefcase.
"You need a woman's touch." Kiba gestured at the contents of the briefcase with a smile.
"You know I was never one for woman, hell I don't even think I can handle kids. In fact my dream was that I...I.." Sasuke's words came to a stop with a quirked eyebrow at one of his graphs that had been colored completely yellow with red square shapes around the edges to indicate the openings of some kind of pie?

"Um..." Sasuke had confusion written on his face. He picked up the graph just to drop it and pick up a document. The printed words on the document had a heart drawn over them in the middle with three stick figures; one very short, one tall and one medium in the center of said heart.
"Is everything okay?" Hinata asked. She looked up from her briefcase to Sasuke with question.
"Ha-ha well you see this dream I had was that this kid showed up. Apparently he was my son somehow, and so yesterday..." Sasuke dawned off again when he saw his phone. It had a small crack in it. He dropped the document to pick up his phone and unlock it.
Pictures!
Pictures of Minochi where all over the now unlocked screen. When he cleared it his background popped up to show that Minochi was his screen saver now.
(Picture: Minochi was on his back, sticking his tongue out and looking up at the camera.)
Sasuke hesitantly went to his photo album and clicked through his pictures revealing more and more selfies the child had taken. Then there was a video he played without thinking.
~Video~
"Dad, hey dad I found a recording thing on your phone my other daddy doesn't let me use. Dad...daddyyyy loookk can I use it??" Minochi begged as you could see a little hand reach out from around the camera to nudge the sleeping man.
"I guess that's a yes," Minochi mumbled after getting no response. The camera then started to move around like the boy was walking somewhere. Sasuke's room then came into view. Minochi then set the phone against the leg of the bed to prop it up. That way he could see himself by flipping the view angle on the phone.
He wondered around the room till he found Sasuke's briefcase by the dresser. Getting exited, he dragged the case to the middle of the floor near the camera. There he sat down and opened it.
"These don't make any sense," he complained as he searched through the papers.
"Pie G-g-rraph.." he stuttered out with a confused look at one paper in particular he'd picked up.
"But it doesn't look like a pie!" Minochi shouted before dropping the paper. He got up and ran out of the room only to come back with crayons that he poured all over the floor.
A minute went by at least. He then lifted up the paper to show the camera what he'd done with the crayons.
"Now it's a pie!" Minochi said, proudly. He moved on to create his next masterpiece. After a few seconds he found a bunch of papers with words he didn't understand. Something flickered in his eyes like an idea had hit him. He grabbed a red crayon and went to work right away.
"Look!" he shouted while he lifted the paper to the phone revealing the heart with stick figures.
"This is me and this is you and mommy. I'm going to call him mommy since he actually likes to cook. But l-look, the weird words in the background help to explain a-all the words that could n-never explain how much we l-love each other and s-stuff" Minochi giggled from his stuttering. He then got up and ran out of the room.
In the background he could be heard trying to wake up Sasuke to show him the picture. Upon getting no response that time either, he came back into the room and placed the paper on the floor.

He then pulled a sheet off the man's bed and dragged it out of the room. Moments later he came back to drop down on the floor. There he continued to draw while humming.
The video then ended from being too long.
~End of Video~
"Oh my god, he sounds precious!" Hinata clasped her hands together.
Kiba just laughed and got up to look more in Sasuke's briefcase.
"Wow, he's an artist." Kiba picked up a document that had a rainbow with stick horses drawn on it.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Sasuke freaked out as he skipped through other videos. In them he saw Minochi had shut the alarm off, set up his briefcase and poured cereal in it as if preparing him a breakfast among other things.
Kiba found the corn flakes once he moved the papers around.
"How old is he?" Hinata asked. She bit back a giggle at the Corn Flakes in the man's briefcase.
"A nightmare." Sasuke said while he put his phone down to look through his briefcase. Almost everything had been drawn on except for a couple files.
"If you saved these on a drive Sasuke it should be-"
"I don't save them because I never needed to." Sasuke tried to control the anger building up in his voice. He put the papers back in his briefcase and slammed it shut.
Hinata frowned and tried to lighten the mood.
"Well he didn't do it intentionally Sasuke. Where is he anyway?" Hinata asked now coming to grips that Sasuke had thought it was a dream.
"At the house probably drawing all over the damn place.....Fuck me!" Sasuke grunted and struck his fist on the desk one time. He then got up to leave.
"If you will pardon me for a bit I'll be right back!" he bowed before storming out of the room to the elevator. He turned around in time to see Kiba shaking his head and Hinata with a worried smile.
"Take your time, and calm down! Be nice to him!" She shouted as the elevator doors closed.
Sakura heard the elevator ding and watched an obviously pissed Sasuke rush out of the building.
He hopped back in his car and drove off towards home. Surprisingly not getting a ticket in the process. Once there he hurried inside to check on the house rather than the child. Everything looked in order till he heard squeaky voices going on in the living room.
He walked into the living room to see a complete mess. Cartoons playing on the TV were the cause of the squeaky voices. That didn't help the fact that there were toys everywhere. One soda can that had been knocked over was leaving a stain in the gray carpet. Unwrapped food bars and cereal bowls littered the place to add to the list.
In total Uchiha Sasuke was beyond furious at that point.
In the middle Minochi was laying on his back on the floor asleep with a Hershey bar in his hand that he'd brought with him. Chocolate stains coated his lips, hands and his clothes as a result.
"Minochi!" Sasuke shouted angrily as he marched over. He grabbed the sleeping child by his arm and yanked him up.
"Ow!" the child groaned out tiredly after awaking from the pain in his arm.
"Look at this mess you've made!!" Sasuke forced him to stand straight.
Minochi mumbled tiredly before blinking at him and then to the mess.
"I'm sorry?" Minochi added a frown and yawned, not sure what the big deal was. He'll clean it up. As a result for not voicing this, he was shaken rather roughly.
"Sorry doesn't cut it! Do you have any idea what you've done?!" Sasuke continued to shout, not aware he was stepping out of line again. To him, he could do more damage if he wanted.
Minochi was fully awake now and afraid. He wasn't use to this kind of treatment over something such as a little mess like this. He must of did something else. He stuttered up at Sasuke, terrified. "W-hat did I d-do *hiccup*?"
"What did you not do should be the question." Sasuke gestured around the house. He then let go of Minochi's arm just to grab the boy by the back of his shirt collar. The little boy fought as he was dragged out of the house.
"S-stop, *hiccup* you're hurti-"
"Just shut up and get in the car." Sasuke demanded while he opened the car door. He then released Minochi's shirt with a jerk.
Minochi sniffled and hiccupped while getting in the car.
"I'm sor-" he was cut off by Sasuke slamming the car door in his face.
The raven stormed back into the house to clean up the mess. After some time he eventually came back to the car to see the dejected boy with long fluid streaks on his face. He felt Minochi wanted attention so he ignored him and got in the car.
Minochi remained silent apart from the occasional weeping, hiccupping and intakes of air during the car ride over.
Sasuke just tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. For some reason Minochi's presence alone was now getting on his nerves.
"I don't know what Naruto let you get away with but it won't be that easy with me. " Sasuke said while he rounded a corner and pulled into the company parking lot.
"But I'm so-*hiccup*orry!" Minochi sobbed and wiped his damped cheeks with the back of his hand. His chest and eyes were hurting now.
"Who the hell are you raising your voice at?! Don't even answer that. I'm in the middle of a meeting right now which I was late to thanks to you so I need you to be quiet. I don't even want to hear you breathe, are we clear?" Sasuke asked. He got out of the car with as much aggression as his voice was filled with.
"But I said I wa-"
"You are aware you breathe when you talk right? Shut it." Sasuke straightened himself in an attempt to regain his composure.
Minochi just looked down and covered his pain filled eyes. He was trying to stop himself from bawling. He then grabbed the collar of his red shirt to hide his face under. He was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday just with chocolate stains and no hoodie.
"Come." Sasuke ordered the boy, not really caring if he followed or not.
They headed up in the building ignoring Sakura's question of what the hell happened. Sasuke didn't feel like explaining. His day was not going well.
In the elevator Minochi coughed and whimpered from trying to hold his breath. Sasuke couldn't help but wince every time the child coughed. He felt a little bad about being so harsh but then he remembered the mess in his briefcase and got over it.
Once they reached his office he headed inside along with the silent Minochi next to him looking down afraid to breathe.
