Naruto looked up at Sasuke, who was holding him close. He could feel his heart beating fast as those dark eyes stared into his. Surely Sasuke could hear his heartbeat? He must've been blushing. "Naruto," the dark haired boy said, "I- I think I like you." Naruto blushed even more. He felt the same way. But when had this hatred turned into love?

"Sasuke..." he murmured. Sasuke leaned in, closing the small gap between the two. He closed his eyes and gently put his lips against the other boy's. Naruto was surprised by the sudden gesture, but he shut his eyes and kissed him back. He held Sasuke close and ran his fingers through his hair. He had never thought that this moment would happen, that Sasuke would ever accept him. When Sasuke pulled away, he felt a slight twinge of pain, like he would lose him; like he would never experience this wonderful feeling again. He held him tightly and said, "I think I like you too."
