So enjoy

"N-no don't please…stay…nmm…shinobi" The raven-haired man woke up from his sleep and turned to find Naruto sleep talking. He sighed, how the blonde wasn't dead yet was beyond him. The guy was in such a deep sleep he was dreaming; well judging by the tear tracks on the tanned face it was more of a nightmare. The raven sighed again and knelt over the ninja. "Hey idiot, wake up", he was answered by light murmuring.

Naruto's POV

Sasuke was there in front of me but as I reached out he seemed to move further away. Ii ran after him yet he moved faster still. I screamed at him not to go, that we could improve together, but he continued, not even glancing back, running into the darkness. I'd lost sight of him but I kept running ahead towards where I hoped he'd be, then I felt hands on me, and a deep voice saying idiot. I pried myself from the wretched dream and peered through tear welled eyes to see a black haired man with alabaster skin and piercing onyx eyes. The first and only thought to cross my mind was Sasuke. I reached out and grabbed the avenger promising myself to never let him go. I closed my eyes relishing the moment as I spoke the words "please don't leave me".

Norm POV

Sai froze as Naruto pulled him down onto his chest. His body became visibly rigid, as the blonde then whispered, "please don't leave me" before snuggling closer. As slight smile graced the shinobi's lips as he whispered back "never Naruto-kun" and began stroking blonde locks away from the tanned face.

Naruto woke up to a weight on his chest as he used his hand to explore the object he found it had hair, a nose, mouth, and was breathing. Before he even opened his eyes he knew who it was. The blonde was about to yell at the other boy when he remembered his dream, he had told Sasuke to stay but ended up waking up to Sai. Naruto looked at the boy and sighed, Sai had stayed in the same uncomfortable position he had pulled him into all night. Even with the extra weight the blonde had to admit that last night had been the most peaceful nights sleep he'd had in years. Naruto prodded the raven-haired man gently and sat up as the weight above him was relieved. "Hey, Sai…err thanks".

"No problem dickless", a vain near the loud-mouthed ninja's temple began to throb as he tried to control his anger. Sai picked up his pencil and pad and walked to the hut door. "Hey Naruto…" Said boy looked up at the speaker " no matter what, I wont leave you". With that Sai left the hut leaving a slightly confused Naruto behind. He sat in a tree by the stream, and glanced over at the two small huts housing team seven. Yamato taichou had a very useful jutsu. He turned back around to the stream enjoying the peaceful time he would have drawing before the she-man would make him gather things for breakfast.

The day was spent on training and as usual Naruto spent almost every second training, when Sakura would tell him to rest he'd reply that he wanted to be at his best for when he fought Sasuke. Everyday would go like this from breakfast till dinner. Sai watched the blonde shovel food into his mouth, this was one of the rare moments in which Naruto wouldn't rave on about something or other and the entire group were grateful for small graces. The raven looked around and frowned, Sakura seemed very shifty; she was probably going to hit him for something after they ate. He followed her gaze and deepened his frown; it led to his picture book. He sighed inwardly, that book was a liability it held his memories of his past. When he became Sai all evidence of his previous life were to be removed but the book carried sentimental value beyond words. The only thing in his life that could trigger an emotion, well apart from Naruto at least. It amazed him how that one person could erase year of training and make him feel so many things in so little time. There were so many emotions he couldn't name or didn't understand. Last night he had felt a strange almost painful feeling when Naruto had had the nightmare, almost guilt-like. Previous research in the Konoha library told him that it was something akin to compassion but he couldn't quite put his finger on the feelings he felt when the blonde had hugged him, no book in the library described such emotions, yet it did not feel like a mixture of ones he already knew. He sighed again but this time out loud mumbling "emotions are troublesome" causing the rest of the group to stop and stare, in Naruto's case with his mouth wide open. The raven-haired man cleared his plate and went to bed, the next day they would be entering sound so he would need the sleep. As he readied himself for bed all he could think about was how happy Naruto looked when talking about Sasuke. A frown unknowingly formed on Sai's face as he pulled as he pulled the covers over his head and attempted to sleep, mumbling under his breath "emotions are so troublesome".
