Another thing that I typed up and is not on deviantart. It's not the greatest, but it's late at night and I needed something to give me a reason to procrastinate on a paper.

It was so early in the morning that even the sun was still tucked away beyond the horizon. Most people were still asleep at the time, but Naruto wasn't like most people. Lying in bed, the blonde stared at his sleeping partner, as Sasuke was in the world of dreams. The beauty of the Uchiha had always surprised Naruto, but the moonlight filtering through the window made him breathtaking.

Ghosting his fingertips over Sasuke, he traced every feature that he could see, not worrying about waking the Uchiha since he was a deep sleeper. Pulling his hand away, Naruto wondered how he was lucky enough to have found love, and with Sasuke no less. The bastard would probably just smirk and say that the blonde was just damn lucky. This thought had him growling slightly at the ego he knew his lover had, but then he remembered that his own wasn't much better.

With a sigh, Naruto just stared at Sasuke with a tender gaze.

"You're doing it again," a sleepy comment came.

Blue eyes widened in the way a child's would when getting caught with a cookie before dinner. Then, Naruto's eyes met Sasuke's as the Uchiha opened his eyes.

"I thought…you were asleep."

"I was," Sasuke responded, "but it's hard to stay asleep when there is this nagging feeling of being watched."

"Heh…sorry about that…."

Naruto watched as Sasuke frowned, which caused him to curse the fact that the bastard could read him so well. Then the other sighed as the blonde turned away to stare at the wall.

"What's wrong?" Saskue questioned.

"I just…nevermind."

The blonde was aware that Sasuke would get upset by his answer, but he hadn't expected to be pushed out of the bed.

"Damn it Naruto, tell me."

"I just wanted to make sure you're still here," Naruto grumbled. "Sometimes I can't help but to think this is all some dream."

Pushing himself off of the floor, Naruto watched as Sasuke shook his head at him. What? After Sasuke ran off like he did and didn't come back immediately, the blonde felt that he had every right to be worried that this whole thing was temporary.

"Naruto…."

"What?"

"Come back to bed and go to sleep," Sasuke muttered while closing his eyes and turning around.

"No words of comfort?" Naruto teased as he took his place in the bed.

Naruto heard the sigh before he realized that Sasuke was once again turned toward him, dark eyes staring into his own.

"This isn't a dream. Now get some sleep; I'll still be here."

Watching as the minutes passed until Sasuke drifted back into sleep, the blonde realized that Sasuke would not speak words of false hope, but rather blunt reality. However, that was what he liked about his lover. There was this weird agreement between the two, that they wouldn't try to sugarcoat the truth, and sometimes Naruto wished that agreement would be tossed out the window, but at least he knew that he would always be told the bitter truth. Even so…Naruto wouldn't stop watching Sasuke as he slept.
