SS: Hey everyone! I'm back after a while. I thought why not do a Naruto Christmas special for all of you? Hope you like!

Snow Part 1

Sasuke glanced over at the girl and boy who were screaming and shouting at one another. He then glanced out the window. It hadn't snowed once all month… And today was Christmas Eve. Even though Sasuke could care less about presents there was one thing he wanted--for it to snow on Christmas. It was something about snow that made his cold heart light up. Maybe it was the fact that it resembled himself in a way. Cold but beautiful and cheerful at the same time.

"Na-Naruto! Cut it out! All these presents aren't just for you!" Sakura sighed, staring at the boy who was shaking every single box. "Only the ones with your name on them are, silly!"

Naruto made a pouty face at her and dropped a box he was holding in his hands. To her surprise and even Sasuke's, Naruto replied, "I'm sorry Sakura-chan. I won't touch anyone else's again." He smiled (to them it looked like a sad smile) and walked out of the room.

Sakura turned to Sasuke and frowned. "Sasuke-kun, did you notice how strange that was? He just… apologized and left…" She paused and looked him in the eyes to see if he was paying attention. When she noticed he was she continued. "That smile… It seemed so sad…"

Sasuke nodded slightly. "Why shouldn't he be sad? It's Christmas but yet--" He stopped short and got up suddenly.

"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura stared at him with a confused look on her face.

"Sakura!"

She jumped in place and blinked. "Uh-uh.. Y-yes Sasuke-kun?" She seemed a little worried.

"Quickly. I want you to do me a favor."

She still had no idea what was going and why Sasuke was acting so strange. But she nodded anyway.

"I want you to go out and get everyone around that we know," He continued, "Make sure you tell them it's important they come to the park with you. But I want you to make sure they all hide, including you. Hide behind the trees near the 4th bench. Don't come out, don't talk, do nothing until I give you a signal. Got all that?"

Sakura blinked then nodded slowly. "Of course Sasuke-kun. I'll be off." She still had no idea what was going on but she obeyed Sasuke and turned to leave.

"Oh and Sakura." She gazed up at him as she was putting on her boots. "Merry Christmas." She smiled and ran out the door.

"Merry Christmas to you too, Sasuke-kun! See you later!" Sasuke peered out the window and watched her until he could no longer see her in view. Then he snuck over into a room upstairs. He opened the door to a closet and pulled out a present with a red bow on it. He smiled slightly and turned around to walk back downstairs when--

"Hey Sasuke. Who's the present for? And just what is the present?" Sasuke looked up to see Naruto grinning.

"None of your business." He grunted.

"Awww, come on lemme see!" He moaned reaching for it.

"Get lost." Sasuke grunted yet again lifting it as far above his head as he could.

Naruto grinned again. "Hey maybe I was short 4 years ago but I'm only not much shorter than you now!" He jumped up and slapped the box from Sasuke's hands, then dove behind him to grab it.

"Oh no you don't!" Sasuke tackled him down and pushed the box away.

"You suck!" Shrieked Naruto groaning. "I just wanted to see."

Sasuke sighed. "I'm not falling for your lame pouting. Now I want you to get out of this room and go downstairs to watch tv or something. Just make sure you're NOT near me, got it?"

With a grunt Naruto shoved Sasuke off and stomped out of the roam. Before he left to head off downstairs he paused at the doorway. "You know you're a real dick." He shook his head. "Try showing a little holiday spirit why don't ya?"

Sasuke was going to reply but instead he said nothing and grabbed the box. He frowned after Naruto left. It just was so hard to be cheerful around the holidays, especially since everyone else was spending time with their friends and family. Not Sasuke though. He'd rather be alone. But this year was going to be different--or so he thought. It was turning out to be worse then every other year. When he tried to be nice, tried to hang out with his friends, everything just went wrong. He felt bad for kicking Naruto out of the room when all the guy wanted was to see what was in the stupid present. Of course… He wasn't allowed to see or know. Because in truth this was a present for Naruto. Sasuke had already put the one for Sakura and Kakashi under the tree downstairs (this is Sakura's house so he decided it'd be best to put them under there until X-mas morning).

Thankfully he had a lot of time to do whatever he pleased. Sakura's parents were away for the day and everyone else except Naruto was out doing last minute shopping. Speaking of Naruto, Sasuke felt as though he should apologize for once. He headed downstairs and into the living room. He found Naruto lying on the couch with his eyes glued to the TV. Sasuke grinned and peered in to see what the boy was watching. "Why are you watching those lame Christmas specials?" He said pushing Naruto's legs off the couch to make room so he could sit down.

"Because I want to." Naruto grunted still staring at the TV. Sasuke could tell he was still angry about earlier. His eyebrows were slanted downward and his mouth was in the shape of a frown.

"There's other movies on," Sasuke said softly trying to be as nice as possible. "Ones that are--"

"I don't care!" Sasuke frowned when he heard Naruto say that. "Leave me alone Sasuke. After all, you have more important things to do then hang out with your best friend, isn't that right Sasuke?"

"No." Sasuke replied dully. "I've nothing else to do…"

"Oh! So you actually DO have some spare time in your busy life!"

"Naruto stop it…" Sasuke stared at him frowning even deeper then before (if that's possible).

"No. I won't stop. Give me one good reason to."

Sasuke couldn't think of what to say. But then it came to him. He remembered what he had told Sakura. "Hey Naruto… Come with me." He grabbed the boy's arm and began to walk away.

"No." Sasuke could feel a tug keeping him from going any further. "Why should I?"

"I have a surprise for you…" He paused biting his lip. He just had to get Naruto to come. It would disappoint everyone (more like make everyone be pissed at Sasuke for making them wait in the cold). "In the park…"

"The park? Why would I want to go there?" Naruto tugged his arm back so hard that Sasuke fell forward his face slamming into Naruto's chest. "It's freezing out and you want me to go with you to the park? HAH! Yea right."

Sasuke slowly lifted himself up and rubbed his nose which was bleeding because of how hard he had slammed into Naruto. "There's a surprise there though."

"My answer's still no. Got that?" He kicked Sasuke in the stomach and put his hands behind his head turning his attention back to the TV. Sasuke frowned again and shook his head excepting defeat. He trudged out of the room holding his stomach.

Later on Sakura had called Sasuke on her cell phone. "It's ok Sasuke-kun. Most everyone was too busy to go anyway. I only got three people to come and well, they understand perfectly what happened."

"Yea.." He replied slowly into the phone. "I'm sure they did…"

"At least you tried…" She whispered.

"Whatever… See you later Sakura…"

"Of course." Click.

Sasuke sighed and put the phone back up on it's jack. He then wandered upstairs into the room he was in before. He plopped himself down on the futon and closed his eyes. It was about 9:00 pm by now. Everyone would be returning soon and it would be best for him to get some sleep. After all, tomorrow was Christmas day.

------------------

Sasuke awoke to a warm breathe over him and big blue eyes staring down. He blinked and gazed up at Naruto with sleepy eyes. "Na-Naruto? Uh… What time is it?"

"5:30..."

"5:30?" Sasuke grabbed the blanket and pulled it back over himself. "There's still about 3 hours until everyone will be up and opening presents, you know. Are you really that excited?"

"No. I don't care about the presents." Sasuke blinked in surprise. "Come with me." Sasuke had noticed Naruto was wearing his winter coat and that he had Sasuke's in one of his hands. "Come on get up and come with me."

"Why me?" Sasuke said slowly getting up.

"Because…" Naruto paused and waited until Sasuke had fully gotten out of bed. "We need to spend some time together… I just get that feeling we aren't friends anymore."

Sasuke stared at him for a moment silently then he closed his eyes and sighed lightly. "I see. Does that mean you forgive me for yesterday, already?" He opened them and gazed up at the blue eyed boy he was gazing thoughtfully into Sasuke's eyes. It seemed as though he was looking right through him for some reason.

"No.. not quite…" Naruto replied slowly tossing Sasuke's jacket at him. "Now let's go before it ends up becoming any later."

Sasuke nodded slightly and followed the blonde downstairs (they had to make sure they said nothing or made too much noise in the halls since it would wake up Sakura, Kakashi, etc). Naruto put on his boots and when he finished he stood there watching Sasuke put on his own. He was getting annoyed at how long it was taking Sasuke to lase them. He could swear Sasuke was doing it on purpose. "Jeez Sasuke!" Naruto reached down and slapped Sasuke's hands away from his boots. Sasuke blinked confused. Naruto began to lase and tie Sasuke's boots for him.

Sasuke made a pouty, childish face and then turned away from the boy. "I… don't need your help, you know."

"Obviously you do if you can't do it yourself." Naruto smirked.

Sasuke could tell he was enjoying the fact that he was taunting him. He grunted. "These are just new boots is all. The lasing is different on them then my old ones.. So I'm just not use to them yet!"

"Don't bullshit me." Naruto finished tieing them and grabbed Sasuke's arm. "No more stupid excuses, ok? You're coming with me now." He opened the door (and made sure he tugged Sasuke out with him) and closed it behind him. "Ah! The air smells nice. You know?" He smiled at Sasuke.

"Sure whatever…" Sasuke replied. It was indeed a nice smell. Smelled almost as if the ocean breeze of winter had swept through Konoha. In fact.. It probably had. Sasuke could hear crickets chirping and when he gazed up at the sky the beautiful stars were in view. What made him frown was that there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Normally that's a good thing since you can see the stars but what Sasuke really wanted was for it to snow. But do the math, no clouds… no snow.

"Hey Sasuke what's the matter?" He snapped out of whatever daze he was in and turned to Naruto.

"Nothing." Naruto shook his head and sighed. That was Sasuke's normal reply. Always, nothing was wrong. But something was always wrong. Naruto could tell.

"Sasuke. I'm really worried. What's wrong?" Naruto was trying to make Sasuke spit it out. Alas, it didn't work. Sasuke said nothing. They were coming closer to the park now, there was a smell of pine trees and the ocean breeze was still blowing. The stars were now in better view since they were coming toward a more open area. There were distant sounds of cars speeding from the city miles away and the crickets began to chirp louder and louder. "Hey, Sasuke." Naruto tried once more but this time in a different approach. "How do you think those crickets survive in this cold?"

"I don't know." Sasuke replied dully. Naruto frowned. "I really could care less, too."

"Heartless as usual." Sasuke felt a swift kick in his shin. He turned and looked at Naruto who was staring at him coldly. "I swear you don't care about anyone but yourself." That made Sasuke look at him with hurt in his eyes. Naruto blinked a few times and then put his hands behind his head closing his eyes for only a brief moment. "Hey we're almost there." Now the park was in view. The little brick pathway and the six benches could be seen now and there (what appeared to be) a girl walking her dog around.

"Naruto…" The blonde opened his eyes slowly and turned to Sasuke. "It's not going to snow, is it?" Naruto blinked for a moment as Sasuke stared at him with his coal colored eyes.

"Doesn't look like it…Well anyway who cares, I hate snow anyway." Sasuke knew that was a lie. Naruto had always loved snow. He used to tell him that it was like little crystals were falling from the sky, when they were younger that is. "Why do you even care Sasuke? You used to tell me you hated snow." Sasuke wanted to say he was lying but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Instead he replied, "I… was just curious, I guess." Then he gazed up at the starry sky and his eyes widened a little. A few small clouds were starting to form. It didn't matter to Sasuke that they were little or that they were the only ones he could see, he still had a little bit more hope that it would snow.

"Hey what are you doing? Sit down Sasuke." The raven haired teen stared down at Naruto who was sitting down on a bench staring up at him. Sasuke only blinked then sat down putting his right arm on the bench's. His other arm went into his front jacket pocket. Naruto just kept his hands behind his head and closed his eyes once more. Then he leaned back and neither of them said nothing.

------------------

Now this had to have been going on for at least an hour until Naruto finally spoke. "So Sasuke, I'm still curious about something." Sasuke turned to him and stared at him silently. "Are you ever going to think of a better clothing and hair style?" Naruto was smirking and Sasuke only glared.

"I don't see you getting rid of that corny coat you always like to wear. You only changed the style a little bit..." Naruto was about to speak but Sasuke interrupted. "Nor do I see you getting any smarter." Sasuke felt another kick to his shin. He glared at Naruto once more. Then suddenly both boys began to laugh. It was strange but at the same time they seemed to be having fun insulting one another. It was just like the old days. They both missed those days a lot, they figured everyone else must too. Konoha had changed too much over the 4 years that passed, so much that the two barely recognized it.

"Sasuke you should stop laughing, you look stupid when you do." Naruto joked giving Sasuke a sly smile like a fox.

"Shut up Naruto, you shouldn't be talking." Sasuke joked back grinning slightly.

Naruto made a pouty glare. "Hey what's that suppose to mean, huh!"

"Oh nothing…" Sasuke whispered.

"Grr… stupid Sasuke." Naruto crossed his arms. "You're just such a--" He paused suddenly and stared at Sasuke, his face no longer looked angry, in fact, it looked as though he were surprised.

"Such a what?" Sasuke said looking at him with a confused look.

"Sa-Sasuke! It's snowing!"

"WHAT!"

Both boys looked up at the sky as small, white, crystals fell from the sky. The clouds slowly but surely began to grow but the snow still fell gently. The ground began to get covered in a blanket of white and both boys stared at one another in shock. Surely this had to be a dream, as the clouds were so small and few, only a little while ago. But as the snow continued to fall, they realized this wasn't a dream at all. It was indeed really snowing.

"Hooray! It's really snowing Sasuke!" Before the raven-haired could speak, Naruto grabbed one of his arms and dragged from away from the bench, as he began to run around childishly. Sasuke felt the boy release his grip on his arm and so Sasuke watched him run around as he stood there, staring up into the sky. As he continued to gaze up he heard Naruto screaming at him.

"Thank you…" He whispered thinking of his mother whom used to love snow just like himself. Then he turned and looked at Naruto when he heard the teen yell to him. "Hmm?"

"Sasuke, are you…" Naruto paused and ran over to him. "Smiling?"

Sasuke blinked for a moment and then sighed, but it was more of a sigh of relief then anything. "Maybe." He replied.

"Don't maybe me," Naruto replied giving him a pouty glare. "I can see you're really smiling. Unless of course, the snow is blinding me." He grinned and Sasuke only shook his head.

"Don't be a stupid idiot. We aren't children anymore. So stop acting like one." He crossed his arms glaring.

"Stop trying to act like you don't like the snow. Because…" He sheepish grin appeared on his face. "I know you were lying."

"What?"

"About hating snow. All those years. I could tell, moron."

"Who cares." Sasuke looked away and closed his eyes. "Let's go back now. It's getting really cold."

"Aw, you're just a wimp!" Naruto smirked but Sasuke only walked by and him towards the park exit. "H-hey! Stupid Sasuke get back here!" He ran over to him and stopped right in front of him. "Don't go back! Come on! Stay here with me!"

Sasuke blinked for a moment and then sighed. "Alright idiot." He felt Naruto grab his arm and drag him back to the bench they were sitting at before. By now the bench had a thin layer of snow on it so Naruto brushed it off then sat down. Sasuke joined him. "I don't understand though, what's the point of still being here if it's cold and snowing? You yourself said you originally didn't want to come here, you know."

"Well who cares what I said before…" Sasuke suddenly felt something leaning all it's weight on his shoulder. He turned to see Naruto lying his head on his shoulder. Naruto was smiling and his eyes were half open as if he were falling asleep. "Hey Sasuke look…" Naruto reached out one of his hands into the air and snowflakes landed on his hand melting. "Isn't the snow so pretty…?" Sasuke blinked and then nodded slowly snuggling up against Naruto. It seemed to be getting colder and colder but neither of them cared now. Sasuke began to feel sleepy too so he started to close his eyes as well. A moment later Sasuke began to slouch down and eventually they were leaning each others heads on one another. After a little while Naruto started to talk. "Hey Sasuke…" He paused waiting for a reply but he heard nothing. "Sasuke…?" He looked at the teen and smiled when he saw he was sound asleep. "Sasuke…" He whispered blushing slightly. He wrapped his arm around one of Sasuke's then fell asleep as well.

------------------

A few hours later Sakura began to grow worried that Naruto and Sasuke were no where in sight. So, she gathered up a bunch of her friends and acquaintances then traveled around Konoha looking for them. Only a little while after the search had started, Hinata told everyone she saw them at the park. They all headed over there and were surprised at what they saw.

"Wh-whoa!" Kiba shouted pointing at them. "Did they really fall asleep here?" Akamaru barked and everyone blinked for a few moments.

"It looks like it…" Hinata whispered twiddling her fingers. 'Oo.. Naruto looks so cute when he's asleep…' She blushed.

"No freakin' way!" Shrieked Sakura, begining to laugh. The two looked so cute, yet silly sleeping on that bench together like that.

"I agree with you Sakura!" Ino hollored back, also laughing. Both girls put a hand on each other's shoulder and smiled, their laughter finally siezing.

"Well hey… They are kind of cute, don't you think?" TenTen said grinning.

"Ah! Like brothers!" Said Lee smiling and cupping his hands together.

"Are you sure it's not like more then brothers…?" TenTen blinked for a moment and gave Lee a funny look.

"Just what is that suppose to mean…?" Lee said turning to her.

"Oh nothing. Never mind. Forget I said anything."

Shino smirked a bit and Neji laughed a lil to himself. Sakura and Ino were watching the two still, their smiles not disappearing. Everyone else was smiling, too. They did indeed look cute. The snow began to slow and suddenly rain started to pour down. A drop hit Naruto right in the eye and he awoke due to it. He yawned and stretched then stared at everyone. Moments later Sasuke awoke and both boys looked at one another then blushed in embarrassment.

"Aw, man!" Naruto suddenly shrieked getting up and ignoring the fact that everyone was there. "All the snow's melting away!"

"Well it was nice while it lasted…" Sasuke whispered. Then he looked up and yelled to Naruto, "Hey idiot!"

"Huh?" Naruto said turning around.

"Merry Christmas." He said smiling slightly. Naruto blinked surprised for a moment. Then he smiled back too.

"Same to you." Then he turned to everyone else. "And Merry Christmas to all of you as well!"

"Merry Christmas!" They all yelled back.

The snow was all melted now to slush and the rain continued to poor down. Everyone was starting to leave to go home. Sasuke and Naruto both looked at one another then dashed to catch up to Sakura. The snow may be melted… but it's still Christmas, right?

SS: Well, that's all. Ah, those boys are both so stubborn! -laughs- Please review if you liked! Thanks!
