The sweetness of innocence

.

"Sasuke?" He sighed. "What now?" He whispered angrily, tired. "I… I can't sleep." The other boy's voice was shy, unlike his usual tone actually. Still, it wasn't enough for the young Uchiha to dare open his eyes and consider him. "So?" There was a silence where all he heard was the soft touch of fingers rubbing nervously the fabric of the sheets. "I don't know…" The other one finally answered. Again, he sighed. "Fine… Come on…" He said as he held the covers up and moved over a bit to give the imbecile, as he liked to call him now, a little space to fill in with his body. Hesitant at first, Naruto slowly climbed down his own bed and silently walked on the wooden floor to Sasuke's and in to it. "Now sleep" Ordered Sasuke. And without another word, he turned his back to the blonde with a long sigh and closed his eyes. "Thank you, Sasuke" Naruto muttered with a gentle and sweet smile that Sasuke could only imagine but couldn't help draw one of his own to his face. "Idiot" After all, it was cold tonight.

"Sasuke?" for God's sake… "What?" He almost yelled, his jaw clinching hard. "I… I'm cold." How the… could he possibly be cold? "So?" The blonde's voice seemed to get stuck in the back of his throat and a couple of times he had to clear it. "I, hum… just thought that…" Sasuke's patience was coming to its limit. He turned around to face the other boy. "Go get your covers if you're that cold!" He was frowning but all he could see was the reaction on the blonds face. Red covered his cheeks as he tried to speak again. "I don't want those… to keep me warm." He struggled. "I'm not physically cold… Well, maybe a little but…" Sasuke's eyes brow made a beautiful arch. What exactly did he mean by that? "I… Sasuke… would you hold me?" What? No. That was the word he wanted to say. Yes, that definitely was the one he was aiming for when that horrible and disgusting other one came out: "Fine."

Naruto's eyes opened wide, not expecting that answer. Yes, Sasuke's patience was coming to its end! "Well! Do you want me to do it or not?" Naruto's face went hot as he moved closer to Sasuke, trying to ignore the other hiding and sinful meaning of this phrase. Slowly, the raven's arms wrapped around his body and gently squeezed him even closer. His hands in the middle of their two bodies, his eyes fixed on the white skin exposed right in front of him; Naruto went numb for a minute.

"Ok?" Sasuke asked. Naruto answered a quiet yes and Sasuke felt his breath tickle his neck. Goose bumps ravage his body and he knew Naruto's body tense. Heartbeats became erratic for a few minutes. Sasuke rested his head on top of his hair, trying to relax and silently sighed. Finally he was going to be able to sleep.

"Sasuke?" or not. "What?" His voice trembled against Naruto's ears. Was this a game? "Kiss me."

Definitely not tonight.


The End


November 19th : So? Very short... very strange... Well, this will be my first in English since my other story on this fandom kinda disappeared. What'd you think of it? Too easy? To OOC? It was just an idea, a sweet moment I imagined with the two of them a while back in October. Couldn't write it in French for some reason... Just things you can't explain.

There could be a continuation, I just decided to end it here for some reason... Let you imagine the rest. After all, the title is all about being candid, or something like that.

Please, do tell your impressions and such. It would mean a lot to me, even if you didn't like it at all, please, tell me why... Again, would mean so much.

Chouchou-chan.
