"I hate it when you say that" The petite blonde boy growled as he threw another punch, this one connecting hard against the other boy's jaw. The tell-tale crunch of bone told both of them the other boy had actually moved into that hit rather than away from it. Large sapphire eyes grew even bigger as they watched the taller boy fly backwards, slamming into a nearby tree with enough force to embed pieces of bark into his exposed skin.
"Oh shit..." An eerie silence filled the area the two had been practicing in as leaves fell slowly to the ground from the injured tree. For a long time neither boy spoke or moved save for the trembling of the blonde's white knuckled fists. Slowly the smaller boy stepped forward, still shaking as he approached his rival.
"Ano sa...this isn't funny teme." Even with his head tilted down a clearly visible trail of blood marred the pale boy's face and dripped slowly onto his dark shirt. Still the other boy didn't move. "Sasuke-teme...?" Kneeling beside the slumped figure, the blonde cautiously reached out, apprehensive fingers grazing a blood stained cheek as he eased the boy's head up only to find a devious sparkle in the owner's dark eyes and a smirk on that pale face. "Alright Naruto...this time you win"
With that, he pulled the trembling blonde into his arms and kissed him fiercely. "Next time they ask I'll tell them... there is someone I like..." The dark haired boy smiled again feeling the blonde curl up in his lap and instinctively nuzzle against his neck. "Someone... I love"
Hearing the smaller boy whimper against his skin Sasuke gently stroked those sun-kissed golden locks and kissed the top of his boyfriend's head, knowing he was the reason the blonde would be smiling the next few days straight was worth all the pain.
