Sasuke liked it like this. When the cold numbed his fingers and buzzed the end of his nose, and the soft pitter-patter of snow on his hair calmed him to the point where he could think straight. Maybe I was a little harsh on the idiot, he thought, kicking a pile of snow out of the way, I mean, I don't care about his feelings that's for sure… if he gets hurt its his problem, not mine. He concluded, smiling softly and picking up his pace, then again, it may affect his performance as a team member. Sasuke shrugged his shoulders. He looked up at the night sky, a rough blanket of thick cloud, lit by the reflection from the headlamps in the village below, "Must be getting late," he thought aloud.
After a few more minutes walking, Sasuke decided to take a shortcut through one of the training grounds, the same one they had been training in earlier that day. What Sasuke saw was almost surreal, and stopped him dead in his tracks, "Umm, Naruto?" Naruto was so surprised he missed his roundhouse kick on the training post, spinning round and landing on his ass.
"Umm, Sasuke?" Naruto replied, standing up slowly "What the heck are you doing here?" he asked, pulling his pants up stupidly.
"I was about to ask you the same question, idiot." Sasuke retorted, "I'm just going for a walk, it's a little late to be training isn't it?" Naruto looked up at the sky thoughtfully.
"Wow it is late; I must have gotten carried away!" He laughed, scratching the back of his head, "You got the time?"
"Umm, like, 9 I think." He said, turning away and starting to walk away.
"Hey Sasuke, you wanna go catch something to eat or something?" Naruto said nervously. Sasuke responded by sticking his middle finger up behind him. "W-whatever, I don't wanna eat with you anyway, asshole!" he yelled, turning around and storming off.
Idiot, why does he always have to be so dramatic about everything? Sasuke thought to himself, taking the long way home. Sasuke eventually found himself at the door to his house in the Uchiha compound. He slotted his key into the keyhole, turned it, and walked inside, sighing. Sasuke had been thinking about Naruto more and more recently. He had toyed with the idea that he had some kind of attraction to the boy, but quickly dismissed it. His recent abrasiveness towards him was his attempt to confirm this to himself, and it seemed to have worked.
"Jeez…" he flopped down on his bed, kicking off his shorts and pulling off his shirt, resting one hand behind his head and one on his torso.
The next day, the team had no missions, and so Sasuke woke up at around ten. He stepped into the shower for a few minutes, got changed and stepped out the door, heading into the village for breakfast. He walked through the slightly compressed snow, which crunched as he went, and took the same shortcut through the training ground. Sasuke almost didn't stop when he saw Naruto sat against the tree, covered in snow with only his head showing, and even that was capped with snow.
"Umm, Naruto?" Sasuke said, a little shakily. He walked over to him lazily, kicking him "Naruto, wake up you're going to get hyperthermia or something," He kicked him a little harder, and Naruto stirred, "Naruto get up you idiot," he dragged the other onto his feet by his collar, leaning him up against tree.
"Hey Sasuke, what are you doing here?" He said lazily, and worryingly he wasn't shaking.
"You fell asleep outside in the snow you idiot," he rolled his eyes, wiping the snow off the other, "You were about to go into hyperthermia, you might not have woken up."
"Oh… okay, sorry," Naruto replied with monotone, slipping and nearly falling back down on his ass.
"Why were you still out here anyway?" Sasuke asked, guiding the boy into a nearby bar and sitting him down in a seat in the corner.
"I… never mind, I just lost track of time," Naruto replied, clearly lying, but Sasuke left it for the time being.
"Okay, just don't be such an idiot in the future," he said, standing up and leaving, not even looking at the other.
"H-hey Sasuke, thanks for…" Sasuke threw his middle finger up at the other.
"I helped you because I didn't want to have to deal with you if you got hyperthermia," he said, walking off.
Okay, first chapter is done the next one will be told from Naruto's perspective, please R&R
