Warning: Shounen ai, Yaoi (male/male), may include self-harming in some chapters, OOC might be noticeable, and swearing.

Pairings: Some NejiNaru in first chapters, SasuNeji, but mainly concentrating in SasuNaru. Mildly noticeable past GaaNaru.

Disclaimers: I don't own Naruto, or it's characters, if I did, they all would live in magical candy land and be happily gay ever after.

The hardest way

Chapter 1: 7th Floor of Happiness

__________________________________________________________________________________

Rain was heavily pouring down outside on the streets. Konoha´s streets were surrounded by light fog, that dimmed all the lights of buildings. In small apartment at the middle of Konoha, the lights were turned of.

Young blonde haired teen held his lovers hand as if that was his lifeline. Dark, long haired older teen calmly held the younger boy.

Uzumaki Naruto, age 15 had been dating his boyfriend for about four months. He wouldn't have anyone else holding him. Hyuuga Neji, age 17, was the person he had always waited to meet. The guy was gorgeous, he was smart, calm, and every girls dream. And he was his.

"Neji" Naruto whispered quietly, "We'll be always together, right?" Blonde looked at the white eyes of his lover while squeezing his hand lightly.

"Yes love, always." Smiled the Hyuuga calmly. "You're absolutely the only one I could ever love, if I ever were to separate from you, I wouldn't know what to do." He said while pushing younger boy to lie on blonde's bed, and kissing him softly on his full, pink lips.

Naruto giggled softly while kissing back without hesitation. "Neji, you'll have to go home soon, the clock is already eight!" Blonde slyly slipped his hands underneath Neji's shirt and massaged his ribs while grinning at the gasp he got from older boy.

"If you're not planning to stop soon, I will be forced to rape you right now." Neji growled and leaned to bite Naruto's neck. "But as much as I'd love to do that, you are right. I should leave now." He rouse slowly and kissed Naruto. "I'll be on my way love, try to get some sleep."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow after the training." Naruto smiled while kissing back. "Don't forget to meet me at bridge after 6! You promised to treat me some ramen!" He yelled after his boyfriend who closed the door, winking at blonde. Soon Naruto heard the front door closing. Smiling, he closed his eyes. Things couldn't be going better.

After one mission with Gai's team, Neji and Naruto had started to spend time together. They were often together. When they were a bit tired after missions or training, they would go to Naruto's apartment and lie on blonde's bed, sleeping or talking. Then all of sudden, one day Neji had touched Naruto's face with his hand, leaned forward and kissed the blonde. After couple of seconds, younger boy had kissed him back. After that, they decided to start dating.

Naruto couldn't be happier about that.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Sasuke had watched his team mate and older Hyuuga get closer. At first he had toughed that blonde had just gotten more friendly with Hyuuga. After a while he began to notice how his friend eyes warmed up every time his gaze met with Neji's. Couple of months later, the Hyuuga seemed toget softer and warmer smile for the blonde.

Sasuke had noticed himself getting jealous of his team mate, even though he wasn't that close to the blonde. He had started to try talking with Naruto, but always ended up insulting him. He wasn't used to trying to have people like him. Usually they'd like him even if he made it clear he didn't like them.

Maybe that's why he started to take liking to Naruto. He wasn't like the others. Even if everyone were always against him, he would still smile and try to get along with them. Plus, Sasuke wanted the blonde to smile at him like he always smiled at Hyuuga. He wanted the blonde to love him, and no one else.

He was waiting for his team mates at the normal spot, bridge. He was looking at the slowly flowing river, lost in his thoughts. He didn't notice anything until the bright voice brought him back from his thoughts. "Eh, Sasuke?! Isn't Sakura yet here?"

He lifted his head up to meet two sky blue eyes looking down at him from the tree. Blonde jumped from the tree branch to ground. He walked to Sasuke and grinned widely to the dark haired boy. "So, what are you doing up so early? I bet you Sakura's still finishing brushing her hair!" Younger one leaned his back against the rail of bridge.

Sasuke hmphed quietly, realizing that he was supposed to befriend with blonde. "I always wake up early dope, I'm always the first one here, aren't I? Yeah, I bet she's probably putting her make up right now." He answered slowly, thinking about every word he would say. He REALLY wasn't used to this.

Naruto looked at him weirdly for awhile, but soon he was grinning again. "Wow, you spoke more than a you have ever spoke in a week worth of time. Bet you have taken a shine on me, haven't you?" Naruto laughed while punching Sasuke's arm playfully.

Sasuke smirked quietly while winking at his friend. "Maybe I have." Making the blonde blink several times confusedly. "Okay, have you been too long out in sun? I think sun has melted your brains." Naruto laughed.

Sasuke smiled. Maybe this wasn't going to be that hard. 'Just you wait Hyuuga, I'm going to snatch him away from you.'

Sakura had jus gotten her hair dry. She was brushing her bright pink hair, and looking at the picture of team 7 at her desk. Some years ago Sasuke's head had been in the middle of a heart she had drawn on the picture. Now, about seven months ago, she had drawn heart on Naruto's part of picture as well. She wasn't interested of Sasuke anymore, she had noticed that her fancy of dark haired boy had faded away to frienship.

She had also grown to respect Naruto as well. Blonde never turned his back on his friends, he would be ready to protect them at any cost. Even his life.

Blonde had gotten her and Ino to back to being friends again. She had never realized that it had hurt so much to be separated from her best friend. Naruto had the kind of effect on people he met. He made them realize their mistakes.

She slowly put some make up on her face and stalked from her house, towards the training grounds. "Bet they are complaining how late I am!"

To be continued soon!

This is Kyro, alias Rainbowhaired Child.

The first chapter was kinda short, eh? And a bit cheerier than I thought.

I promise to make the next one longer, and we'll get to the story!

There will be drama!

Prewiew:

Sasuke's heart was pounding hard against his chest. He was leaning to his arms, which were both at each side of blonde's head. "Sasuke…?" Naruto whispered quietly while Sasuke was staring at Naruto's pretty eyes , lost in his thoughts.

He leaned more forward….
