If there was one person in their family who loves to sleep it would be Obito.
Granted it was a well earned rest considering it was his summer break after months of strenuous studying, high-caffeinated beverages ranging from soda to coffee to energy drinks that would have caused heart attacks if he were as old as Madara-Sofu. Now with the central air going and all splayed out on his futon, the botanist major was happy in the land of dreams.
After a night of texting with his boyfriend-on a dig with his archaeology class in Mexico-he was able to sleep soundly into the afternoon in his favorite pajamas all comfortable and so deep asleep that the sounds of his aunts, uncles, cousins and other extended family were uneffective in waking him up.
As he snores in the room he didn't hear the soft sound of feet running outside his door, or the sound of his door opening; the sight he makes with drool dripping down his chin on to his pillow as he lies on his stomach with his phone on the floor charging away. Yes a nice day of sleeping in was his plan until he woke up naturally which he had planned to be sometime in the later afternoon when the sun was lower in the sky and not out as long.
"Obiiiiitooooo~"
At least that was the plan.
Before he can wake up properly, poor Obito grunts when he's suddenly met with the weight of his seven your old cousin landing on his stomach and forcing him up from the impact. A loud wheeze leaves him as he feels the air knocked out of him even going so far as to cough and hack a bit the poor college student wheezing as he feels like someone through a bag of rocks instead of his cousin just giving him a rather rough wake up call
As he catches his breath, the boy slides off him with a smile that shows the little gap in his teeth where he lost a baby tooth. He looked so proud of himself for waking up his cousin as he giggles softly.
"..You know Sasuke if you wanted to wake me up, you could have just poked my cheeks a bunch of times, like Tobi," He huffs as he pushes his dark hair back as he raises a brow.
Now that he was awake he can here his aunties talking and laughing from the kitchen down the hall ss the smell of smoked pork wafts in from outside where the uncles were probably sitting and talking about whatever; being policemen, lawyers, judges, a few politicions and college professors here and there of course they like to hear themselves talk.
Sasuke rolls his eyes with a huff, "I'm not Tobi, I don't wake you up the boring way..."
Sure ain't boring to me, Obito narrows his eyes at him, "Can't you find a more fun way that doesn't involve trying to break my sternum?"
"Hmmmmm..." Sasuke holds his chin with eyes narrowed a moment like he was pondering deep in though, "..Nope! Besides it's the most effective. That's why Niisan sent me in!"
Of course it was Itachi who sent Sasuke in to wake him up. For some reason the twelve year old took great amusement in all the ways his little brother wakes up their older cousin. The twenty two year old future botanist stands up and then stretches his arms while checking to make sure his stomach didn't have a sasuke sized bruise. Honestly he wishes the kid was more interested in his switch than running around being a menace.
He picks up his phone to check for any messages or missed calls, deflating a little when he sees none. Tobi must be asleep right now down in Mexico and he can't help but be jealous. His boyfriend was away from the chaos that was Obito's family while he just slept and did whatever he could to recover from near death from exhaustion trying to finish projects.
"What did you need, squirt?" Obito stretches his arms and cracks his back, "Mmm. Need you cool cousin to take you to the store for a snack? Make you soup? Teach you to play that little nightmares game Itachi says is too scary?" he snickers as he wiggles his fingers at him with a grin, then cackling when Sasuke puffs his cheeks with an indignant glare. Ah even with how annoying he was his cousin could be cute when mad.
Sasuke rolls his eyes, "I wanted to wake you up because it's your turn to make food for Sofu today."
Obito goes still for a moment staring down at him, "...you wanna try and cover for me little man?"
"Why would I do that? He prefers you bring it cause you make good cheese sandwiches. Plus you always toast the bread juuuuust right!"
Is it just Obito with bad luck day? Because he must have missed the memo with that as he takes in a slow deep breath. It's not that he didn't love Sofu; Madara had taken him in when his parenrs and his grandmother had died when h was thirteen and basically raised him. While a tough person to gain the approval of he also was fair and very intelligent.
However, Madara-Sofu was a menace and Obito was pretty sure that he only asks him to do things for him because he felt like he owed it to him.
"Sasuke please, please can't you do this for your favorite cousin? I'll even make the sandwich first so you don't have to go to all the trouble!"
Sasuke narrows his eyes, "Why don't you want to give Sofu his food?'
"Because I was awake for an entire week with so little sleep it's a miracle my body didn't force me to collapse into a heap. Please please please do this for me and I will make sure to return the favor," he gives Sasuke his best smile and tilts his head.
Again he gets narrowed eyes from his cousin who once again looks thoughtful, "...Mmmm...so say if i bring Sofu lunch today will you buy me a few games for my switch then?" he looks up with a smile, "..and maaaaaaybe take me to Ichiraku with Naruto tomorrow to buy us food?"
Obito squints. Oh he was asking a lot of him with that.
"...Two games, you get one item delivered from ichiraku, just for you and no one else."
"Four games, you take me and Naruto to Ichiraku and we each get two items," Sasuke counters.
The older cousin huffs, "Two games, you can bring Naruto over and you each get one item from Ichiraku delivered."
"Four games, two each and a dessert item."
Obito prays for patience as he puts his hands together to take a deep breath, "Three new switch games, one menu item from Ichiraku and I bring you home to make you mochi ice cream."
Sasuke hums a moment again, once more weighing his options...then nods with a huff, "I want Hollow Knight, Hades and Animal Crossing."
"yeah yeah yeah..." Obito stands and takes his hand, "Just remember I am making the lunch you just bring it to him..."
God his little cousin was a pain in the ass but he at least was willing to bargain with him. Even if it means taking money he's ben saving up out of his account to pay for those games and food he at least didn't have to deal with Sofu's shenanigans.
"Just remember to bring Sofu is medicine later!"
Obito froze and watches Sasuke walk ahead before he growls in frustration.
And all he had wanted to do was sleep in today.
