It was dawn in the village of Konoha; Naruto was awakened b the knocking sound at his door. Could it be another assassination attempt on him? Could it be Konohamaru having another nightmare? Could it be a one in a million chance that his Sakura will reply in person to his love letter he sent the forth night? Nah, maybe it's just an assassination attempt. Too tired from watching a princess Fuun movie marathon, he just produced a Kage Bunshin to open the door and beat the crap out of the assassin. When the clone reached and opened the door, he was surprised to see Sasuke.

"Wow Sasuke-kun, this is the first time you came to my house!" the clone said, h called the real Naruto and when reached the door he released Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Sasuke didn't seem to mind Naruto's laziness in cleaning up his house.

"What brings you here, Sasuke-kun?" the intrigued Naruto asked.

"Promise you won't laugh!" Sasuke said

Naruto sensed Sasuke was serious about the matter so he closed his trap.

"What is it Sasuke?

"You might get angry at me…"

"Why should I?" 'Unless you set fire upon my favorite place in konoha!'

"I think I'm…"

"You think you are what? Gay?"

"No, not that, I think I'm in love with…"

"In love with whom!" Naruto was at the edge of his seat, Sasuke never opened up, not even with Kakashi-sensei.

"I think I'm in love with Sakura…"

"…"

"Something wrong Naruto?" the puzzled Uchiha said.

"Nothing, nothing." He tried his best to hide the anger he felt. 'I'll never get Sakura now, she loves Sasuke, Sasuke loves her, there's no stopping them. "Would you like some tea Sasuke? Some ramen perhaps?"

"Tea would be fine, thanks."

Naruto prepared some tea. Sasuke talked about his feelings for Sakura, Naruto on the other hand, facing the obvious, that the only way to save his friendship with Sasuke and Sakura was to let them be.

Sakura was never meant for him, she was meant for another person, any person just as long it isn't him.

Naruto was on the verge of crying, he sensed Sasuke wasn't looking at him so he let the tears flow. They were running down his cheeks, down on his clothes, onto the counter.

Not even wiping off his tears, he reached in the cabinet and grabbed a box of what he remembered was tea leaves.

He gave Sasuke a cup and poured some of the clear brown substance into both of their cups. After a few sips, Sasuke broke the silence.

"What's in this Naruto?" Sasuke said his face sweating.

"Its tea of course!"

"Check that box again Naruto, but first where is your bathroom!"…
