x-- Because... --x
"I love you..."
Three simple words were whispered from my mouth unintentionally. My eyes lifted, I tried to hold my mask but I failed miserably. That's when I saw them.
Wide sky blue eyes staring at me in shock. Why did I have to fuck everything up!
We were fine with what we had!
"Sasuke!" Such a sunny voice, it always sends shivers up my spine. As I turn I see the owner of the voice come into view. My current crush. Now I know what you're thinking.
Uchiha's do not crush.
But for him I made an exception. I couldn't escape the tightness in my chest every single time he glanced my way. The way my breath hiked when he flashed that toothy fox like grin at me.
We could easily call each other best friends, since 5th grade it was obvious but since 9th my heart started to earn for a more passionate relationship with the other. But alas Naruto was straight. I could hold a ruler up, but it would just seem like limp spaghetti compared to him.
"Want to come over to my house to study?" I heard him ask. I gave my curt nod and response of 'Hn' as recognition that I heard him. He helped me pack up my books, for a second I felt his tan hand brush over my pale one. Only for a second. But I did not loose my composure, making sure that he did not sense a single emotion that I kept dwindled down inside the depths of my heart.
The drive back to his place was normal. A battle of song changes and air condition settings. As we reached his house I took my shoes off and opened the door like it was my own. It practically was though. His guardian Jiriaya treating me as his own and his dog Kyuubi leaping all over me every time I set foot in the door way.
"Hello?" I heard the blond call out as he walked into the kitchen.
"Must be out with Tsunade." I heard Naruto mumble. I knew about Tsunade, she was like a mother to Naruto, a suitable one too. She was probably the only one I knew apart from myself that kept Naruto out of twice the trouble he could get into.
"Hn." I nodded again. I cursed myself for not showing more emotion towards the blond, but it was hard for me and he knew that. For that I was thankful. Slowly I scaled the stairs to his room and flopped onto his bed, landing on something hard.
"What the..." I grumbled lowly as I reached behind me and pulled out the object. Naruto's phone.
"Hn..." I growled lowly as I began clicking the buttons which successfully opened his inbox. My eyes widened and I felt my body freeze up. Message after message, all from her.
Sakura Haruno.
All the messages filled with 'I love you's' and 'can't wait to see you's'. They were dating. Had the idiot forgot to mention that to me! To tell me he had someone who was oh so important to him!?
"Hey Sasuke..." I heard him call out happily. My head jerked up from the phone to see the blond standing in the doorway, some sort of snack in hand. My brows furrowed and I held up the phone, a clear message from Sakura showing.
I saw his mouth drop slightly, so did his hands, successfully dropping the food.
"Sasuke I..." He began, only earning a glare from me. He stopped mid sentence and I began to feel my anger rise. Of all people he could have dated! It had to be her! My perfect white teeth grounded against each other and my hands balled in angry white fists.
"What were you thinking!?" I screamed, throwing his phone with all I had against the wall. Naruto flinched as the phone smashed not to far from where he was standing. My dark eyes lifted, meeting his calm blue ones and my breathing started to become more laboured.
"Why the hell are you so mad idiot!" I heard him growl, knowing that even he was angry now. But his emotions could be no where near as erratic as mine.
"Because!" He yelled back forcefully not having a good reason. I didn't really have a reason to be so pissed off, not from his point of view anyway. To him I was just always the best friend, the one he could count on. The one that wouldn't act like this when he finally got a girlfriend.
"That isn't a good reason and you know it!" I winced as he took an angry step forward. He's right, it wasn't and I would never be able to explain why I'm so angry. He had no idea as to what my heart truly earned for and if he did it would destroy the beautiful relationship we already had. He was the only one that ever truly cared about me and yet here I was sabotaging the whole thing.
"Because..." My eyes lowered not able to look a him because I knew my angry mask was cracking slowly and fading away to a soft more pleading look.
"I love you..."
Three simple words were whispered from my mouth unintentionally. My eyes lifted, I tried to hold my mask but I failed miserably. That's when I saw them.
Wide sky blue eyes staring at me in shock. Why did I have to fuck everything up!

The end! What do you think? Leave it as a oneshot or make it a twoshot? R and R!
