Always

One-Shot

It was three in the morning and Naruto still hadn't been able to fall asleep. There was only one person to blame, him. Naruto let out an exasperated sigh as he felt an arm wrapping itself around his waist. Naruto scowled down at the arm in annoyance, before turning to glare at the owner.

"Hey, Sasuke" Naruto growled, poking Sasuke in the ribs. Sasuke shifted closer to Naruto, kissing the back of Naruto's neck before repllying.

"What do you want, dobe?" Naruto scowled in annoyance.

"Don't call me that" he said, poking Sasuke in the ribs again. Sasuke smirked slightly when he saw the pout on Naruto's lips.

"Ne, Naruto, do you have a mission today?" asked Sasuke, removing his arm from around Naruto's waist and placing his hand on Naruto's hip.

"Eh?" Naruto looked over at Sasuke, blushing when the hand on his hip moved down. It was only when Sasuke groped him did Naruto realize exactly what Sasuke had meant.

"Sasuke, you stupid pervert!" yelled Naruto, bolting out of the bed and putting on one of the robes from the edge of the bed. Sasuke laughed loudly when Naruto's face turned red in embarrassment. Naruto scowled at Sasuke before turning away to gather his clothes.

"Gomen" Sasuke said, realizing that his laughter had hurt Naruto, even though Naruto wasn't crying. Sasuke quickly got off the bed and walked toward Naruto. He then wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist, letting his chin rest on Naruto's shoulder as his hand rubbed small circles over Naruto's stomach.

"I'm sorry, Naruto. I went too far" he whispered into Naruto's ear, gently kissing the shoulder his chin had been resting on.

"Hmph" Naruto smiled slightly when Sasuke tightened his grip. He placed his hands over Sasuke's, letting their fingers intertwine.

"Naruto?" Naruto looked up into Sasuke's dark eyes. There he saw the insecurities that still plagued the Uchiha. Naruto smiled, turning around so that he was face to face with Sasuke before placing a light kiss on Sasuke's lips.

"I love you, Sasuke" Naruto said, placing a kiss on each cheek. "And I always will" Naruto kissed Sasuke's lips again, making Sasuke smile.

Sasuke grabbed Naruto's left hand, lifting it up to his lips. A light blush settled across Naruto's cheeks. Sasuke gently placed a kiss on Naruto's knuckles, making Naruto's blush deepen before placing the hand over his heart.

"I love you too, Naruto" Sasuke leaned forward and placed his lips over Naruto's. "Always"
