Naruto had always been alone. So why was it then, whenever Sasuke was around Naruto wouldn't feel so alone? He wouldn't feel so misplaced and generally unhappy? Naruto, by all means necessary was an unhappy person, but half of the reason why he wasn't, was because of Sasuke's constant presence.
He had inquired his little tidbit of information to Kakashi-sensei once, but he had just smiled, let out a little chuckle and proceeded to tell Naruto that 'I'll tell you when you get older.' He had left severely frustrated and enlighten by another 'if you work as a team you can…', which posed a giant question to Naruto: What Team? But enough of that.
If you asked Naruto what he liked about Sasuke he'd probably look at you funny and say 'What's to like about that pretty-boy?' but deep down, even Naruto liked Sasuke, maybe even just a bit too much. He liked the way Sasuke would hum a little tune while they were on missions, and the way Sasuke sometimes, almost after a spar smiled and got a proud look in his eyes. Not because he beat Naruto but because Naruto had almost beat him.
Afterwards Sasuke would ask Naruto if he wanted to go out to ramen and Naruto would happily oblige and go off with him. One day, Naruto thought, I'll beat Sasuke and I'll look him straight in the eye and ask him if he wants to go get onigiri. Of course, this wasn't a big step for anyone, but it was for Naruto, but nobody would ever know that. Everyone in the village knew onigiri was Sasuke's favorite meal.
One day, he would let out a smile, a small genuine smile and ask Sasuke what he always hummed under his breath because Naruto knew that if you got close enough and strained your hearing that you'd be able to make out some words. Words like 'ai' and 'shiteru' and some guy or girl named 'lope' or 'fope' or something akin to that.
One day, Naruto would ask Sasuke why he never, in all his life went out with Sakura, or any other girl for that matter. One day, Naruto would inquire to Sasuke and ask him if he ever got any fuzzy feelings about the girls that threw themselves at him.
Naruto thought about his own fuzzy feelings, and how they seemed to burn anew every time he even got in seeing distance of the cold Uchiha. He had had these feelings for quite some time. And at the end of it all, the thinking and whatnot, he realized the fuzzy feelings (for that was what he called them) were very much like that of those he used to have around Sakura. Only much much more stronger.
So, now he had yet another goal, now he must ask Sasuke if someone like him – Sasuke that is – could ever love or even like someone like him, Naruto.
Yes, maybe one day he'd find out.
Maybe tomorrow, or the day after.
Or, maybe today.
AN: This is my very first fanfic. I'm debating with myself weather or not I just keep it a oneshot or maybe chapter it. But I assure you, it won't get very angsty and it will be lovey dovey along with a giant side order of WAFF. R&R please! Tell me what you think!!
