For as long as I can remember, he was always by my side. He was always there for me, as much as I was always there for her. I would always fight with him, and I would always adore her. But who was it that love me more? Who was it that returned my feelings? Who was it that actually accepted my existence? It was him. Not her. She was just a bitch that loved him, and wanted to get rid me to do so. So I gave up on her, and went to him. I wanted to spend time with him only, because only he loved me. Noone else. Just him.
"Ne! Sakura-chanyo! Let's go eat ramen together!", the blonde bravely asked the pink haired girl. " Fine. Your paying for everything, Naruto", she said. Naruto froze for a moment then looked at his frog wallet. "Ehehe...how 'bout you pay half..?", the blue eyed boy nervously asked. "No way, if you want a date you have to pay for everything", Sakura said crossing her arms. It was a day off today from school, and everyone was either just training or hanging out with their friends. Naruto took this chance to try to win Sakura's heart, but she's not so easy. "Oi, Naruto, Sakura", a slightly tall dark haired boy called. Sakura turned to face him and blushed madly with a cheery girly girl voice, "Kyahhh! Sasuke-kun!". Okay, nevermind what I said, she's easy. "What is it, teme?", Naruto casually insulted him. Sasuke hissed, and continued anyways, "Kakashi-sensei called us. Get ready and meet at the Konoha gate", with that he turned around and left, with the fangirlish Sakura following him behind. Naruto sighed, " Ahh...so lonely".
At his apartment, Naruto unlocked his door and headed for him room. He took out a large backback and started to pack his clothing, hygiene materials and such. He then noticed his squad 7 picture standing on the table beside his bed. In it, everyone smiled except Sasuke and Naruto, who was facing away from each other with a mad grin. "Hehe, Sasuke you bastard", Naruto giggled. When Naruto finished packing up, he put on his backpack, and headed out the door, and walked through the alley of Konoha. It was late noon and the streets were busy, so it made it harder for Naruto to get through. Few minutes later he managed to escape the crowd and it became more quiet in the open space. He finally reached the great city entrance that stood before him. In the distance, Naruto noticed Kakashi and Sakura...but no Sasuke. He ran towards them. " Naruto, how unusual, usually your the one that's always late", Kakashi said, not looking away from his book. "Tch, it's always you that's always late", Sakura pointed out. Kakashi completely ignored the comment. "Ne, where's that stupid Sasuke?", Naruto wondered. "I don't know...oh where is he?I can't beleive he ditched me!", Saskura said with a worried tone. "Hmm, well Sakura and I will go on ahead, since we can't waste time now. I informed Sasuke abour our mission already. So Naruto you go find him and we'll meet later on, okay?", the masked man with the silver hair commanded, slowly walking away with a whining Sakura. "What the heck!? Why do I have to find that bastard?", Naruto angrily screamed out, but noone seemed to care. He threw a fit and headed back into the city to find the dark eyed boy.
He searched everywhere. The mountains, the market place, hokage's office, the school, everywhere. He seemed to be nowhere in Konoha. But there was one place he hadn't look yet. Naruto decided to check the forest of death, though he knew it was a dangerous place ever since that exam. Suprisingly, when he reached the caged thick forest, he found that self-centred boy there, just staring up at the trees. He seems to be holding his left shoulder. From the distance Naruto yelled at him, "Hey TEME!". Sasuke turned his head to look at that knucklehead. Naruto made an angry face and walked up to him. Sasuke hadn't change his position. As Naruto kept walking, he realized Sasuke's eyes were different. They were... showing something. Something Naruto doesn't know, but this didn't make Naruto afraid. Sasuke's dark shining eyes focused on Naruto harder than usual, and it made Naruto uneasy. "Hey are you okay?", the blondie asked with no sympathy in his voice. Sasuke turned around and made his whole body face him. "What do you think, loser?".
"Agh! Well you didn't even meet us at the gate and your the one that told me and Sakura to meet there! How can you be late!?". Naruto then stopped and gave a grin. "Are you scared?"
Sasuke gave Naruto a hard stare. "No. It's just a mission to go scoop shit off the ground"
"Ahaha! So your scared to scoop shit then??", he laughed.
Sasuke grunted, "Idiot. I did this on purpose. I mean by now, you should notice this."
Naruto looked confused. Sasuke sighed.
"Nevermind let's go. Your stupid after all", Sasuke put his hands in his white short's pocket and started to walk past Naruto.
Naruto gave a brow behind his back, "What's his problem?"
As they walked out the gates, Sasuke gave Naruto a sheet that explained the mission. They had to go to some farm in a minor city near Konoha and take care of it until the farmer recovers from the hospital. Apparently the farmer got seriously injured from tripping over a log and shit happened.
It was late afternoon and the sun was about to set. Naruto and Sasuke hadn't found Kakashi nor Sakura anywhere, so they had no choice but to camp out alone with each other. They were pretty far from Konoha, so there was no human prescence for miles. Naruto gathered fire logs while Sasuke set up a tent. In no time, the moon was shining brightly. Trees whistled to the gentle breeze and night creatures started to chirp loudly. "Ahh the fire is so warm", Naruto cheerfully said as he warmed himself near his campfire. Sasuke seemed to run off somewhere since Naruto didn't see him anywhere. "Where'd that bastard go?" He got up to look around. He walked a short distance into the forest and heard splashing noises. The blonde followed the noise and found himself near a hotspring. "Kyahh! Time to soak myself!", and with that he carelessly undress himself to reveal his toned beach-tan body and jumped into the warm water.
Naruto relaxed himself and tilted his head back onto a rock behind him. "Ahhh...", he smiled. "Oi, Usurakatonkachi", a familiar husky voice called out. Naruto whipped his head around. A shirtless raiven head stood above him with his well-build pale body showing. "S-Sasuke where'd you go?" Sasuke gave a smirk, "Why? You scared alone?". Naruto angrily frowned, "No! Stupid, I was worried". Naruto then realized he sounded weak when he said that, and covered his mouth. Sasuke grinned evily, "Ah your worried?". Naruto became speechless. Sasuke undress his shorts and came in the hot pond, Naruto completely trying to ignore him.
They are now both naked in the same hot spring, not like it's not unusual. Sasuke stared at Naruto for a long time, while Naruto looked down with shame. Now I showed Sasuke how pathetic I look, Naruto thought. Sasuke looked annoyed by the unusually quiet dobe, " I thought that was... cute", He said breaking the silence. Naruto looked up with a shocked expression, "What did I hear you say?". Sasuke turned his head to look away, "I said... I thought it was cute". Naruto still had that same expression, "Are you gay?". Sasuke was silent. They were both silent. Only the chirps of the crickets continued, so did the movement of the water.
Sasuke then regained his confidence and swam a little closer to Naruto, with Naruto becoming more cautious. "Listen Naruto, I think your cute and sexy, I love how you react when I insult you, and every comback you give me is affectionate to me". He paused for a moment., " Don't get me wrong, I don't think of this about you because I'm gay. Only because I actually love something for the first time. I love you". Naruto was confused and was kind of scared. "Sasuke... I never knew...that...but".
"But what?", he instantly replied.
"W-well...! I like...y'know...girls..not guys", the blonde nervously said.
Sasuke made and annoyed face and hissed, " Ah I see. You like things that don't appreciate who you are. You like things that goes 'gaga' over 'cute' or 'hot' boys. Oh I see"
"No! That's not true!"
Sasuke swam back to his spot with angry movements. Naruto was now really confused.Is he saying I'm ugly? The person he thought was cool...loves him... the not-so-cool idiot. That night they never spoke for a while and headed to their tent. They had seperate sleeping bags and went to bed.
Naruto couldn't comfortabley sleep that night, as he shared the same tent with another boy that confessed to him. Naruto thought to himself. Sasuke was right, Sakura doesn't even like him. She likes Sasuke, but he doesn't like her. Sasuke only talked to Naruto and actually became open to him all this time, and at the same time ignored Sakura. But Naruto was still confused. He didn't know what to do or say to Sasuke, or even Sakura. Naruto became uneasy.
"Ahh... what do I do???"
