A/N: Sooooo, here's a little fluffy one-shot that I based off of one of the Afrikaans short stories I read at school this year. It's called Die Engelman by Izak De Vries and I do not own it, nor do I own Naruto, he is property of Masashi Kishimoto.

Enjoy :)

(1): Richard Dawkins: A very very smart man who writes brilliant books. If you have an open mind I recommend that you read something by him…

(2): A town in the UK

Naruto had his feet resting on the dashboard of his taxi as he read the latest Richard Dawkins(1). It was a beautiful day and his blonde hair was shining in the sunlight.

After a few minutes of reading and re-reading the same page he gave up, closed the book and sighed. He missed Japan.

He hadn't heard even one person utter a word of Japanese since he had started living in Dover(2) earlier that year. Sure, he was blonde and he spoke English fluently so he wasn't treated like a foreigner, but he still missed home.

Naruto was wrenched from his thoughts of home when he heard someone tap on his window. He quickly took his feet off the dashboard and rolled down the panel of glass separating him from his customer. A pale man with jet-black hair and a frown stared back at him.

"You taking customers?" The raven man inquired.

Naruto registered that the mans mouth was moving but he didn't hear a word that came out of it because he was too preoccupied with staring at him, the man was positively beautiful. Naruto looked at the dark hair and matching eyes and decided to name him Beautiful Emo.

Eventually Naruto that Beautiful Emo had stopped talking and was now glaring at him "Sorry, what?"

"I asked if you were taking customers?" Beautiful Emo said somewhat impatiently.

"Uh, yeah…I am." Naruto rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. Not only was the man beautiful, he was intimidating too.

"Great, me and my friends need to get to the harbour and we need to get there fast." He gestured to the two men behind him. One was an older looking version of Beautiful Emo and the other had waist length brown hair and strangely pale eyes.

"Our boat to London leaves in half an hour. Will you be able to get us there in time?"

Naruto flashed the raven a cocky smirk "Of course I can." He got out of the car to help the men with their luggage.

Beautiful Emo gave Naruto a bored look "Dobe." he muttered as he turned away to grab his bag.

Naruto took the bag from him and frowned, had the man just called him Dobe? No…he couldn't have. It was just Naruto's homesick brain playing tricks on him.

The other two passengers greeted Naruto with nods and the taller one, who looked like an older version of Beautiful Emo, thrust their bags at him "Hurry up there blondie, we're going to be late."

"Itachi be nice, this guy promised he'd get us there on time." Naruto nearly melted, Beautiful Emo was defending him.

"Uh, well we'd better get going then." Naruto said as he stuffed their luggage into the trunk and made his way to the drivers seat. The two men slide into the backseat and conveniently Beautiful Emo sat in the passenger seat next to Naruto.

Naruto started the taxi and pulled onto the road but nearly stalled the car when Itachi started speaking Japanese.

"Sasuke, stop staring at the blonde like that would you, you look like you're about to eat him." Naruto's eyes widened but he managed to keep them on the road.

"Shut up Itachi, I'm not staring at him." Beautiful Emo, Sasuke, also replied in Japanese.

"Whatever you say little brother." Itachi chuckled.

"I'd do him." The brunette suddenly piped up from next to Itachi.

Sasuke growled again "Back off Neji, I saw him first."

Naruto blushed and glanced at Sasuke who gave him a suspicious look. The blonde quickly looked back at the road, tightening his grip on the steering wheel. That had been a close one; he had nearly blown his cover.

"Ah you see, I know you too well Sasuke…and just look, he's reading a Richard Dawkins, I think he's the only person besides you who reads that stuff." Itachi smirked at his brother.

Sasuke glanced at the book lying on the dashboard and frowned "Damn, it's the new one, I don't have it yet…"

"Why don't you ask him if you could have it, and while you're about it, ask if you can have him too." Neji chuckled.

"Shut up!" Sasuke said a little louder then was necessary.

"Not until you admit it."

"Admit what?"

"That you like him." Itachi said.

"…"

"And that you'd kiss him right now if you could." Neji added.

"…"

"Admit it Sasukeeeeeeee." They whined in unison.

"Alright! I think he's hot ok! I'd jump him right now if we weren't in a moving vehicle! Are you happy?"

"Ecstatic." Itachi and Neji smiled at him.

They sat in silence after that until, in record timing, Naruto pulled up at the harbour. Sasuke jumped out of the taxi quickly and Naruto got out as well to retrieve their bags from the trunk.

"Thanks for getting us here on time." Sasuke said, now speaking perfect English.

"No problem, I told you I would." Naruto grinned at the raven.

They stared at each other for a few seconds before Itachi cleared his throat loudly "We'd better go, the boats about to leave. Come along little brother."

The raven nodded and with a sigh he picked up his bag and followed his brother toward the boat.

Naruto stared after him for a few seconds before his brain took action. He couldn't just let Beautiful Emo leave without saying anything to him. Without thinking he ran back to his taxi and grabbed the book off his dashboard, he pulled a pen out of his pocket and scribbled a note in the front cover

For the only other person I know who reads Richard Dawkins.

I know your boat docks in London in two days, I can be there.

Here's my number...

He carefully wrote his number underneath the note and then ran for the boat. He could see Sasuke walking up the gangplank already "Sir! Sir, you forgot something!" Sasuke turned around and saw Naruto waving the book at him. He gave the blonde a confused look and then his eyes widened in realisation.

The security guard stopped Naruto "Whoa whoa whoa, passengers only buddy."

"Just pass along this book please, he left it in the taxi." Naruto gestured towards Sasuke.

The guard nodded and passed the book along. Naruto watched as it was travelled down the line of passengers until it reached Sasuke. The raven held the book to his chest and gave Naruto one last look before he disappeared into the boat.

Naruto shuffled back to his taxi and drove home. He stayed there for a couple of hours, pacing around restlessly, before he decided that he needed a drink. So he got back into his taxi and made his way to his favourite pub.

When he got there he sat down at the bar and ordered a beer and a burger, while he was waiting for his order his mind began to race.

Maybe he has a girlfriend.

Maybe he was just kidding around.

What is he going to think when he realises I understood their whole conversation?

Maybe he'll be angry.

Maybe he just said those things to get his brother to shut up.

Finally Naruto's order arrived and he practically swallowed the beer in one gulp before starting on his burger. It was delicious and juicy and warm and for a moment he forgot about his day. Suddenly his cell phone vibrated in his pocket and reality came crashing back. He smirked at the simple message he'd received,

Thanks for the book. I'll see you in two days.

Sasuke

Naruto smiled and took another bite of his burger before typing a quick reply,

I'll be there ;)

A/N: Aww, I really love this story, it gives me the warm fuzzies :D

Now, I'm perfectly happy with this being a one-shot but I could be persuaded to come up with more plot ;)

Reviews are most welcome!
