Let It Rain

SasuNaru.

Disclaimer: No ownage of Naruto or Sasuke. Only the umbrella.

Rain lashed against the windows, washing away the outside world, leaving Sasuke with a blurry view of Konoha. Chatter made up the background noise, some times quietening down and letting the soft music float over. Sasuke signed his name on the bill and parted with 80. He picked up his umbrella and quietly left the restaurant. The world outside, melted in the rain, seemed alien. Figures drifted down the street and lights flickered around him. He stopped at a traffic light, waiting for his chance to cross.

"Hi? Excuse me?" Sasuke lifted his umbrella a little to come face to face with a soaking teenager of approximately the same age as he. Blonde hair has plastered across his tanned forehead, trailing water across his face. His clothes too were sodden. Sasuke wondered what he was doing out without an umbrella.

"Hi, I know it's awkward, but can I share your umbrella just until the lights change? I'm already soaked and late and I'm gonna be in big trouble-"

"Fine," Sasuke shifted and the blonde ducked under the umbrella. On closer inspection, the blonde was quite cute, with overly big eyes and round cheeks. He was grinning despite his predicament. While not close enough to be touching, he was giving off body warmth that Sasuke could feel on his side.

A car drove by a little too fast and water splashed up onto the pavement, close to their feet. Sasuke found himself wanting the lights never to change so they could stay like this forever. He shook his head free of these thoughts. The blonde looked up at him.

"I'm Naruto," he introduced himself. The lights were turning orange.

"Sasuke Uchiha."

The light turned red and the cars stopped. Almost instantly the green man flashed brightly and Naruto ducked out of the umbrella and dashed across the road, waving back at the other boy.

"Nice to meetcha, Sasuke!"

Sasuke already missed the warmth.
