[ It's night on the Huntress, not that that makes a great deal of difference in their surroundings, but Sasuke's at least trying to commit some decent chunk of his time to sleep just for habit's sake.

No, his efforts aren't overly successful, but he's still managed to reach that restful in between state of semi-consciousness, without a thing to bother him.

Yeah.

We'll see. ]

The fact that I've always been faster than you.

You can't even keep up with this conversation. [ oooo ]

Oi, you have not.

I'll race you right now! Come on. Where the hell are you? In your room. I know that. I'm comin' over there right now!

[ ... ]

[ You can literally sense me at all times, why do you have to ask. God, Naruto. ]

I am trying to sleep, you dumbass. Go to bed and stop trying to argue with me over something like this when the answer is obvious.

That's the point though, ain't it?

[Did you just hear his door close... because he closed it behind him but-- it really is kinda cold and dark out here on his own.]

It ain't obvious, and we ain't arguin'. I'm gonna show you. I'm. Better. Than. You!

Haven't you tired of doing this for over a decade now? [ Sasuke both has and hasn't, always wanting to push himself but no longer feeling the same desperation to surpass him. Does he want to beat him down? Yes. Does he need to for the sake of his own sanity? No, not when their goals have finally managed to align. Naruto's too important for him to actively want to hurt him any longer anyway, but to chip at his pride a little, well... ]

I already admitted that you're strong. That doesn't make you superior.

[Give him a moment. He's still reeling from the whole thing.]

Well.

[Yes. He sort of just wants to punch Sasuke right now though.]

Weird to hear you say stuff like that.

[ It's even weirder to say it, really. He's still processing a hell of a lot too, trying to reconcile his new desire to protect Konoha with his massive hatred of it... and some of it admittedly carries over to Naruto as its symbol, along with a massive amount of guilt, but it's been easier to talk like this and not acknowledge those feelings.

Just bantering as if it doesn't all need to come out at some point. ]

I'm not about to casually repeat it, I'm just trying to stop you from running your mouth so much.

I'm still faster; you need to accept facts as they are.

Yeah yeah.

[He does stop at least. For long enough to ask himself how he thought he was going to get from here to Sasuke in the middle of the night. It felt automatic for a while, but now he's not even sure where he was going in the first place.]

So... you wanna meet up tomorrow?

[ Commandeering one of the shuttles to pilot it alone and with one arm is definitely possible if Sasuke's managed it, but not recommended. Which of course means they'll both be doing it in the future anyway. ]

Do I have the option of saying 'no'?

[Then they're going to be juuuust fine.]

Er. Well, I guess if you don't wanna?

[Can't you just hear the sadness in his voice? The threat of tears. The--]

You ain't got anything better to do, have ya?

[ There's a pause and a dismissive grunt that can more or less be translated to 'Uzumaki Naruto, don't even try to make me feel sorry for you'. ]

Training. Meditating. Studying the ship and its functions.

Not all of us were granted with a piloting augment.

[ENUNCIATE, SASUKE. Use your words.]

I can help you do that.

Explain to me how you wouldn't just end up becoming a greater distraction and thus a greater hindrance than a help.

I can help.

I'm gonna help.

... I suppose expecting a logical answer was my own fault. I should know better by now.

What's not logical 'bout that?

I'm asking you to detail the causes that would lead to an effect and you're just repeating the effect. It's a presumptive argument.

[ He can literally hear this flying over Naruto's head, but he has to try. ]

[...]

Eh?

I'm tellin' you! I can show you how to do stuff.

You'll explain something poorly, I'll correct you and insult you, you'll punch me, and then we'll fight.

And I will not learn much.

[omg ur so right, Sasuke.

Except no.]

I'll tell you it right, but you'll just get picky 'cause you think I'm wrong.

I won't even touch you!

Don't say 'even' as if that's impressive.

Fine, though. I expect you to be here early if you're committing to this.

I'm sayin' it 'cause I won't.

[Missing the point, but whatever.]

When you're done with-- meditating and whatever.

[Late, hopefully. Like. 9?]

That should be around seven.

[ yeah no fuck your life ]

Seven! You're kiddin' right? That's stupid early!
