Ten steps out the door, and the touching begins. His annoying counterpart simply can't, repeat, can't keep to himself. His hand is constantly maintaining contact to some body part that would just love to sear such offending appendage. 'For cripes sake!' his very, very quite mind would mutter. Very quiet.

Still, his shoulder tingles where he 'tried to keep balanced' down the stairs, and now his arm has three ghostly lines that alert him of intrusion.

He considers holding hands unnecessary. Why tell the world what they didn't need to know? But He had other ideas. Always rambunctious. "Its my way of saying that I, Naruto Uzumaki, finally proved that Sasuke Uchiha, heartless, ice-dick has feelings! And of course that I topped." He smiles cheekily, and Sasuke yanks his hand out of the other's grasp. "Che." he sulks.

But, everyone who's everyone knows Naruto never gives up, the 'bastard's' presence was proof of that particular shining attribute. And in approximately seven steps, (approximately because his foot was in mid air as it happened) he felt fingers brush and tangle with his own.

Though he's more self control than to sigh, gasp or even clench, the roll and flick of his eyes amuse Naruto to no end. "Aw, some on, teme! Don't be such and Ice Queen!" And he loosely twitches a few fingers, the subtlest of squeezes only for him, and hangs a moment or two. So, let him have his fun. Naruto all but swings their arms and skips from pleasure of public contact. Public contact! Lets repeat, he, the great Uzumaki, is not punching, stabbing or spitting on the equally great Uchiha; he's having a gentle moment walking down the main street. Unbelievable!

And as soon as the gleeful swaying kicks in, his hand goes lonely. Sasuke doesn't show any sign of any change. Naruto pouts. But the cheeky smile returns to all but smother Sasuke with silent 'I told you so!'s.
