A/N- Just a short little something that I came up with while reading something else. Enjoy.


Sasuke and Naruto both sat on the surface of the water in the middle of the night, both looking at the sky. Neither of them spoke as things had been rough for the both of them the passed couple of day s and they both just wanted silence. Well, Sasuke did anyway. Naruto had other things on his mind.

Just over a year ago, Naruto and Sasuke became a couple. Since then, nothing had ever really been the same. Life was different, but Sasuke wasn't. Naruto had began to wonder if going through with this was actually the right thing. He was afraid Sasuke didn't love him - or even like him - to begin with. It was really bothering him, bad. He wanted to ask Sasuke the truth - did he love him or did he not, but he also didn't want to because he was afraid of what his reply would be.

To Sasuke, being with Naruto was just the same as being on the same team with him. . .just a little bit more different. Naruto was always beautiful. Bright as the sun, clear as the sky, happy all the time, it was just perfect, and Sasuke was happy. Though he didn't show it.

Naruto, from the corner of his eye, looked at his lover, wondering if he should take that route or not. He was just so scared of what would happen, but Naruto, being the risk taker he was, decided to do it.

"Sasuke?" he said quietly.

"Hm?" was Sasuke's reply.

"Do I. . .ever cross your mind?"

Sasuke thought about that for a moment.

"No." he said shortly.

Hearing this, Naruto bit his lip.

"Do you want me?"

"No."

Naruto's hopes were falling fast. "Do you like me?"

"No."

"Would you cry if I disappeared?"

"No."

"Would you live for me?"

"No."

"Would you do anything for me?"

"No." Every reply was cold and emotionless. Naruto wanted to clutch at his chest because his heart throbbed, but he resisted and didn't.

"So. . .what would you choose: me or your life?" This was the last thing he wanted to hear the answer to now. He knew it would just be to painful, but he bit his lip and sucked it up to keep himself from crying which wasn't working out very well.

". . .My life." Sasuke replied at last.

That was it. A mistake was what all this was. A painful sob escaped from the shot-down blonde. He stood up, fist clenched, and dashed away from the Uchiha as fast as he could. His heart hurt and his brain was shocked.

Quickly, the other ran after the person he sent away, going as fast as he could to catch up. As soon as Sasuke was close enough, he wrapped his arms securely around the waist of the other and put his mouth to the blonde's ear.

"Naruto, listen closely. You never cross my mind because you're always on my mind." he said.

Naruto did a sharp intake of breath hearing this.

"I don't want you because I need you. I don't like you because I love you. If you disappeared, then I wouldn't cry, I would die because you disappeared. I wouldn't live for you because I would die for you." He didn't skip a beat. "The reason I wouldn't do anything for you is because I would do everything for you. And. . .I would only choose my life because. . .you are my life."

Sasuke spun Naruto around and saw his tear stained face. "Do not ever think you are nothing to me because you are everything to me." And with that, he bent over to meet the lips of his beloved.
