AN:
- It's SA – Boylove. So don't like? Don't read!
- NaruSasu are very OOC in this fic cos I switch their character. I mean… in my fic it's not Sasuke who is emo, he's pretty optimistic and tender actually. The one that's emo also uruffled is Naruto. It's completely out of their original, I know, but I just want to write something new and different :D.
- Naruto is younger than Sasuke, about 6 to 8 years. I dunno why but I deeply love it when the uke is older than the seme :)).
- English isn't my mother tongue, hence please forgive me if you find any mistake. In fact, I would really appreciate if you point them out to me. Thank you so much :D.

Prologue
.
The first time Uzumaki Naruto met Uchiha Sasuke was not very long time ago, when Naruto was at the age of 10, and Sasuke was still at high school. That day, Naruto remembered, ought to have been the worst day of his life. He ought to have broken down completely.
But for a reason, he didn't.
It was the day a traffic accident stole his parents away from him forever. It was also the day he first met Sasuke.
Recalling that day, honestly, Naruto didn't know he should feel sad or happy. It was a snowy day. Snow rambled on the street, melancholy and miserably white. The news came to him when he was at school, hitting him hard enough to knock all the thoughts out of his brain. He ran out of his class without thinking, ignoring everybody's call behind him. He wasn't aware where he was heading nor noticed how far he had run. He just ran as long as he could, until his breath froze in his lungs, his muscle gave out utterly and he collapsed on the sidewalk, out of breath. He wore thinkly and inadequately, but now his body was bathing in sweat and heat although the atmosphere was very cold. Till now Naruto recognized that he was in front of the park near his home. This was not only a public place. It was where his father used to bring him after school. It was where his family sent joyful time together. It was his childhood.
Naruto looked at the park fixedly then automatically dragged his feet into it, feeling like carrying lead in each step. He got under a slide, sat down. The chilliness started to creep on his skin and he felt so lonely. He was scared of the freezing feeling, scared of being alone. Couldn't bear the pangs anylonger, the 10-year-old boy pulled his knees to his chest and wrapped his arms around his legs, letting his heart break and his tears overflow off his eyes…
Uchiha Sasuke wasn't a resident of this street, he came here because of some books. When he was on his way to the bus stop back home, it was pretty late, and snow fell harder. He signed, stopped reluctantly, took his scarf out of his bag, right in front of a random park. That was the moment he saw him.
Out of the corner of his eye, Sasuke saw a figure, curling up under a slide. Curious, he walked into the park to have a closer look. It seemed to be a little boy. His golden hair was as a piece of sun on gloomy snowy days. He likely dropped off, but according to the uniform he was wearing, the raven could guess this kid wasn't a street child. 'So why is he sleeping here? He may get cold.' Sasuke thought, decided to wake this boy up.
"Hey! Wake up!" he said softly while patting the kid's shoulder.
Naruto didn't know how long he had snoozed, he even didn't know when he fell asleep. He raised his head up slowly, blinked a few time to adapt to the brightness. It took him awhile to recognize that there was a person standing in front of him. Then, he was stunned.
This person had snowy skin. Standing in such a dazzlingly white background, he was likely to merge into it. And his orbs… too dark… too deep…
'Wow, he's got beautiful eyes!' That was the first thing jumped into Sasuke's mind at the second that boy lifted his head up. The azure in his irises was incredibly limpid and bright, as sapphire. 'He'll be very handsome when he grows up.' He praised inwardly
"Why are you sleeping here? Where are your parents?" Sasuke asked in gentle tone.
Hearing about "parents" made Naruto want to break down again. His head drooped, shook lightly. He was able to feel his tears were at bay right now.
Sasuke frowned, squatting down. "Hey, are you alright?"
The blond inhaled deeply, tried his best to calm himself. He didn't wanna cry before a stranger. After a long pause, he managed to murmur out the answer: "I'm fine…"
The older arched one of his brows, could say for sure that something was wrong with this child. "Is that so? So where do you live."
The boy mumbled again. "Near here."
Sasuke eyed the blond, signing. This kid really didn't wanna talk to him, hence he stood up "Then go home. Sleeping out here isn't good for you."
Responding to him was an awkward silence, the blond didn't seemingly listen. Sasuke scrathed his scalp, turning around to leave. Up to now he noticed sunset was growing, it was getting colder.
This brat would have to be sick later, he just wore two clothes without hat or gloves. Suddenly he worried about the little boy. His scarf rub lightly against the delicate neck, itchy.
Naruto laid his fore upon his knees. He wouldn't come home. It wasn't his 'home' anymore, not without his father and his mother. Thin fabric on he wore wasn't enough to warm him. Loneliness going along with chillingness spinned on his body.
Abruptly, something was planned on his nape. Surprised, he looked up, being greeted by a sight of the dark-eyed one bending down to wrap a scart around his neck.
"What are you doing?" he questioned amazedly.
"Look like what am I doing? Idiot!" the other grumbled, fair fingers briskly wound the scart two rounds around the blond. The scart was made of wood, black and simple, but very warm. After finishing with a loosened knot, he straightened up, his lips curved with satisfaction. "OK, so you'll not get cold."
Naruto was completely stunned. His cobalt eyes widened. He totally forgot to react or say something, instead just sitting there and immovable. He didn't know it was because of the huge warmth on his neck starting to spread over him or the soothing smile of the raven, he only knew that his breath was taken away.
Sasuke kept smiling, oblivous to the boy's expression. As soon as he turned away, he felt his clothes were grabbed. Next, a question said in low tone touched his ears. "What's your name?"
The older glanced over his shoulder. A tiny sun-kissed hand held on his sleeve tightly, the golden strands draped over a part of his face, therefore the raven couldn't read his mien. Sasuke was doubtful a bit, yet wiping it away any anyway. He grinned, his voice was pure and melodic as always. "I'm Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke."
Right after that, his bus came, thus Sasuke just had enough time to wave the boy goodbye before running at top speed to catch the bus, absolutely not remembered to ask his name.
Naruto remained still, watching the stranger's figure run away. Snow is everywhere, white all over. However, he cant sense the biting feeling anymore, in place of that was the comfortable coziness.
'Uchiha Sasuke' Naruto clutched the scart 'Do not ever forget this name!' he promised to himself.
And, he wouldn't indeed.
