Hehe, this is a semi-sequel to LtbL. However, it's not necessary to read LbtL; there will be references to it though. So no whining to me about how you're confused. Although if it's legit. I may take sympathy on you. Depends on how bad of a day I'm having.

Disclaimer- I knew there were idiots out there, but I'm a 15 year old female sitting on the floor of a two story house in the Chicagoland area. Now that we have established I can not possibly own Naruto (Only in my wildest dreams and everyone else's nightmares.) can we please move on? Oh, I don't own Thesis or I Think I Love You.

Naruto: Thank Kami-sama she doesn't own Naruto. She'd draw us all as stick figures.

Icy: Yeah, I would.

Naruto: -sweatdrop-

Warnings- OOCness, general crappy writing (it's me.), yaoi, shonen-ai, probably Sakura bashing, and slight AU. Bitch about it and I bitchslap you, unless you're offering helpful advice. Then I'll love you and not bitchslap you.

"I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I've never felt this way"

I Think I Love You (Chorus) By Kaci


Five simple little words, that's all it was. I think I love you. So why couldn't I say them to him? I think I love you. But here I was- the great Uchiha, Sasuke- trying to figure out how to tell my boyfriend of about three months that I may love him. Yes, I'm also gay. Who would've figured? Sasuke- Kohona's number one sex god, the one with all the girls fawning over him- is a fanny bandit (1) I think it was all the fangirls going all fangirly on me from about the age of 7 or 8. Stupid fangirls…especially Sakura and Ino; they're the stupidest. They couldn't get it through their thick heads that I didn't like them. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….Naruto crushed on her for a couple of years. Sakura, that is. I'm glad he woke up and smelled the coffee.

Naruto had dated Gaara for a while too; Gaara and Naruto had of a more brotherly bond than one of lovers. Gaara still felt upset and guilty that he couldn't help the one we both care about. Luckily he has Neji there to help him through his guilt trips. So Neji claims. While smirking. Bastard.

Ahem. How did I get so off track again? I was supposed to be getting ready for a date with my kitsune. Of course, he says he doesn't care what I wear….anything looks good on me. So I guess I have time to continue my musings on my little Naru-kun.

I step into the shower and as the warm water runs over my body, I remember the time we went to the hot springs back when we first started dating. I saw how the bruises on his body and wondered how they got there and why. There were scars too, loads of them. (2) He explained about his past, eyes down guiltily as he explained about the Kyuubi. I felt a surge of anger for whoever had made him feel so bad about something he couldn't control. I all ready knew about Naruto being the Kyuubi's vessel; I'm not an Uchiha for nothing. Besides, adults can be so careless around kids sometimes. Hehehe, stupid adults.

Stepping out of the shower, I towel off and remember more about that day. Since I'd requested a private bath room for us, I'd held him close while he poured out how everyone blamed him for the Kyuubi's destruction 14 years ago. I just held him as Naruto fought back tears. It saddened my heart then and it does now.

I pulled on my dark blue shirt and a pair of creamy pants, then I sat down. I'm meeting Naruto in half an hour at his house so I'll leave in fifteen minutes. I still have a little brooding time. Naruto had his down moments; in fact the happy go luck act was half real, half mask. It just depended on what was going on at the time. Like, Ramen versus him being picked on.

OK, enough brooding on my boyfriend. He'd been living on his own for years now, he could definitely able to take care of himself and even kept a clean apartment. That had surprised me to no end at first. So how to tell Naruto I think I love him?

I pondered on that for a couple more minutes before heading over to my boyfriend's house. I needed to make a stop first anyway….

I walked into Ino's families flower shop and prayed that….

"SASUKE-KUN!"

Ah crap. Never mind. "Ino-chan…." I mentally twitched at adding the chan to her name but it was necessary. "How much would a dozen red roses cost?"

"For you Sasuke-kun….500 yen!" (3) She squeals, certain the roses are for her. I don't need to be a mind reader to know that. All these idiot women are the same.

"Fine." I pull out my wallet and pay for the roses as she happily prepares them. I take the proffered flowers and turn to walk out. I really need to get going.

"But…Sasuke-kun…." She starts. I turn, sighing, and see her eyes beginning to tear up. I idly think Shikamaru was right when he says women are troublesome.

"Those roses aren't for…forehead girl are they?" She pleads with me to say it's not true.

"No. They aren't for her." I inwardly shudder as she smiles and leans over as if waiting for a kiss and the roses, all traces of tears gone. "They're for Naruto."

I walk out the shop leaving Ino standing there twitching and looking for all the world as if she's died and gone to hell.

I start to hurry; I want to surprise Naruto by being early and bringing him the flowers.

I took the stairs up to Naruto's apartment, frowning at the poor condition of the area and the building in general. When I finally reach his house, I've decided he's coming to live with me as soon as I confess about me and him.

I carefully and quietly open Naruto's door and slip in. I hear him humming "Thesis of a Cruel Angel" in his kitchen and decide to give my dobe a little surprise.

Coming up behind him, I set tap him on the shoulder and say "Boo." He jumps and the spoon he's stirring with goes flying up in the air.

"TEME!" He hollers turning around ready to whack me.

I show him the roses and give him a quick smooch over them. "Sorry?" I smirk; we both know that I'm not sorry.

He retrieves the spoon from wherever it had ended up and wiped it off before returning to his cooking. "You're early." He chides me gently.

"I just couldn't stay away." I tried the corny line out on him.

"Che. Yeah right. Stop being cheesy."

"Naruto, we need to talk."

"All right." He shuts off the old range and turns to me, curiosity shining in his bright blue eyes.

"IthinkIloveyou." I blurt out all in a rush.

"What? Slow down and talk like a normal person."

"I think I love you."

"It's about time." He kisses me fiercely. I was about to open my mouth to ask him what he meant by 'it's about time,' so when he kissed me, he took the opportunity to just dive right in so to speak.

I felt his tongue run along mine, trying to get me out of my shocked and rather confused state. I mentally did my trademark smirk and slyly I started to kiss back, drawing Naruto in closer. I start to poke his tongue back and a battle ensues momentarily before he surrenders and wraps his arms languidly around my hips. After a few more minutes of tonsil hockey, I pull back and look at him. The roses lay abandoned on a counter among the cooking supplies.

"So. What did you mean by it's about time?"

He blushed and I had to restrain myself from jumping him and possibly scaring the poor boy away forever. That's probably why Neji smirked at me when he told me about comforting Gaara. Lucky perverted bastard. "Ehehehehe, well…I was gonna tell you that I loved you. At least, I think its love."

"Why didn't you ask Iruka-sensei? I know he'd be willing to help you figure out what you're feelings are."

"Errrr….no…I all ready tried that. When I went over, he was having a lover's spat with Kakashi-sensei."

"Oh." I leave it at that. There's an awkward pause while Naruto thoughtfully lets me adjust to the fact that our former sensei and current sensei are sleeping together. And possibly are more than that. "So…Naruto…when are you moving in with me?"

"Pervert! YOU JUST WANNA GET ME IN YOU BED!"


Icy: -stares at computer screen in shock- It ran away with me.

Everyone (Neji, Gaara, Sasuke, Naruto): WTF just happened here?

Icy: Naruto, Neji, Gaara, Sasuke, sit tight for a moment and appreciate the work I put into making you go all corny/perverted and try and tally up the number of pairings, huh? I've got some stuff to explain.

Neji: Yeah, you do.

Icy: -gives Neji The Look- Shaddup and be good. Or else you will regret it. I am an older sister and babysitter.

Neji: -nods and gets back to work-

Icy: OK, my explanations

(1) Blame it all on Family Guy. The one where the guys get stuck on that deserted island for a while? When the cruise ship goes by, they call them homosexuals, then in Spanish, fanny bandits because they were trying to fulfill their "manly needs" for sex.

(2) I know that Kyuu-kun heals Naruto, but I'm making it so Kyuu-kun doesn't heal him all the time, just in battle when Naruto calls on his chakra. I can because here I am GOD! –gets evil smile- So deal.

(3) I don't know the way the yen work over there, seeing as I am an obsessed, slightly insane teenage American fangirl with no life. So I picked a number. Besides, roses are expensive if you're getting a dozen.

OK boys, you can stop thinking now. Does anyone have a guess at the pairings I had? The winner gets a special treat….

Naruto: There was me and Sasuke, Neji and Gaara, me and Gaara, slight one sided Sakura and me, slight one sided Ino and Sasuke, slight one sided Sakura and Sasuke, mentions of fangirls and Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei and Iruka-sensei.

Everyone: -golfers clap-

Icy: Very good Naru-kun!

Sasuke: -Uchiha death glare-

Icy: -ignoring him- For summing the number of pairings my perverted mind added, you get to hand out the Gaara/Neji or Sasuke and you plushies to the reviewers! Or, if they ask nicely, a Kashi and 'Ruka plushie.
