"TEME!"

Naruto was held pinned underneath the Uchiha. Sasuke was smirking, of course. Fighting desperately, Naruto let out a soft 'ah' of surprise as the avenger caught his wrists. Pushing them back to the earth – they were in a forest, for some reason – Naruto's breath caught in his chest as the other boy leant down against him.

"You need to work harder if you're going to beat me, dobe."

Naruto shifted. Sasuke was straddling his waist, pinning him there, and the blonde shinobi was starting to blush. "H-hmph!" He turned his face to the side.

Sasuke chuckled. Coupling Naruto's arms together and holding them with one hand, he used the other hand to turn the boy's face towards his own. "You look cute when you're angry, Naruto."

Scarlet raced over Naruto's cheeks. "… S-sasuk--…!" Before he could finish the word, the avenger's lips were pressed against his in a firm, hot kiss. Naruto struggled at first, then slowly melted into it. Sasuke's lips were hot against his, and slightly wet as the ninja's tongue licked over Naruto's lips. Shuddering, he opened his mouth obediently, and Sasuke's tongue invaded his mouth.

Moaning at the sudden sensation, Naruto broke his arms out of Sasuke's forgotten grip and wrapped them around his rival. One hand tangled in the softness of the other ninja's hair, urging him closer.

A cord of saliva stretched between their lips as Sasuke pulled back. Staring at him hazily, a thrill went through Naruto's skin as the other boy pushed his shirt up. "… You're so pathetic, dobe. I'll teach you."

Sasuke's lips lowered towards Naruto's stomach, licking a firm line up his flesh and making Naruto shudder.

"S-sasuke…"

---

"Mmm… Sasuke…"

Naruto rolled over, cuddling with his blanket, eyes shut tightly.

"S-sasuke… I love you… I love you so much…"

There was a wet patch on the blanket where Naruto had been drooling. It looked like Naruto's love affair with blanket-Sasuke would go unrumbled, when his alarm clock went off with an obnoxious buzzing.

"Ah…?" Naruto's eyes opened, blinking hazily in the sunlight, then shooting wide open "…AH?"

"I-… that-… what--…!" Naruto was bright red; sat there in bed in his – suddenly too small – boxers. Visibly shaking, he raised a hand and rested his face in it, closing his eyes. "… Again…?"

This past week… What the hell… I keep dreaming about that stupid bastard… arrgh, and it would have to be dreams like that, too!

Slumping into his clothes, depressive tears sloshing down his cheeks, Naruto ignored breakfast; settling to just slouch out of his apartment dully.

Shoving his hands into his pockets as he walked, he kept his eyes blankly on the road in front of him.

What is it about this… it's… so stupid! Why am I having… those… kind of dreams… about stupid Sasuke! Of all people! I'm not gay! I'm not!

Whimper.

Especially not with that stupid Teme…

As usual, it was only Sakura and 'that stupid teme' were the only ones waiting on the bridge. Sakura was hanging onto Sasuke's arm, and Sasuke was basically ignoring her. Staring off into space; watching the water flow under the bridge.

Naruto approached with a big, nervous smile on his face, "A-ah… Oyaho, Sakura!"

Sakura didn't even look. Sasuke, on the other hand, turned and fixed his friend with a blank, icy glare.

Naruto's skin ran with goosebumps. W-why is he looking at me like that? Pretty blue eyes met with endless black pits and Naruto gulped quietly. … And why are you always so damn hard to read…

Hiding his discomfort, Naruto swallowed a sudden lump in his throat and put on a foolish, challenging grin. "H-hah! I see the fear in your eyes, teme! You know that I, the great Uzumaki Naruto, will beat you one day! You'll see! Ahahahaha…!"

The Uchiha raised an eyebrow.

"Hahahaha… hah… hah?" Naruto went pale. "… Stop staring at me like that, Sasuke. It's creepy." He finally finished, pouting somewhat and looking down.

The other ninja grinned, detaching Sakura from his arm and walking forward. Reaching out, his hand dipped, tilting Naruto's chin up and making him look at him. Naruto's cheeks went pink.

The Uchiha smirked, supremely. "I'm way out of your league, usuratonkachi."

"… Sasuke-kun?" That was Sakura. She was staring at the two boys like they'd just spouted a second pair of arms. "… What--…"

"YO!"

Out of no-where, Kakashi poofed into existence. Squatting on the fence along the bridge, he smiled and waved a hand amiably. Sasuke hastily let go of Naruto's chin, turning to face him impassively.

Sakura turned to him, glaring "And where have you been this time?"

Kakashi smiled pleasantly, "Well, you see, on my way here, I got sidetracked by some ruffians assaulting a little girl, and so I-…"

"You LIAR!" Apparently happy to have something to yell at, Naruto darted past Sasuke and pointed an accusing finger at his teacher, "If you're going to lie, at least come up with something believable, Sensei!"

While Kakashi smiled apologetically, and Sakura and Naruto steamed, Sasuke slid both hands into his pockets and eyed Naruto quietly.

I'll have you soon, Naruto. Just wait…
