I wrote this as an RPG example, believe it or not, for a dear friend of mine. Word for word. Nothing changed. Just copied and pasted from our msn convo. Strange, ne? It came out of NOWHERE. And yet here it is.

I think that this is my first, official, no hintings, or friendshipping, NaruSasu ficclet. Heh. SasuNaru is good too.

Disclaimer: Nothing.

-The Way Things Happen-

They walked home in silence. It was not comfortable, but in fact, very awkward. Naruto insisted that he did not need Sasuke to accompany him, but Sasuke took his hand abruptly, held it tightly, and led the way. Sweat accumulated between their hands; they became clammy and it was somewhat gross but either of them refused to let go.

They were both dreading the arrival, but it inevitably came. Naruto chuckled sheepishly.

''This is me.''

Sasuke snorted. ''I know.''

Naruto tried to look into Sasuke's eyes; he had found the courage to do so, but as Sasuke was purposely avoiding the gaze, the blonde let go of his hand and used his newly free one to open his front door. Sasuke's mouth opened; he tried to protest but nothing came out.

Naruto lingered at his door and sighed. ''Sasuke...'' He murmured, then turned slowly on his heels, and stared at his date.

Sasuke shuffled uneasily, on the front steps. ''Naruto...goodnight.'' His answer though, obviously was not good enough.

Naruto cursed under his breath, glared, and forcefully stole a kiss from Sasuke. ''Teme, you're too shy.''

And much to his surprise, Sasuke's reply was a genuine, ''Thank you, dobe.''
