Ch. 1 Heart

Naruto did not want to deal with these brats every.single.fucking.morning. No. He really didn't.

"Hey, brat! Knock it off, will ya?!"

"Heh. Sorry boss! Didn't mean to this time!"

"Yeah... didn't mean to this time my ass..." the blonde slumped as he continued walking, deciding it was best if he just kept his trap shut. He didn't even know why this punk called him boss, anyways. It was kinda catchy, though, so Naruto decided he would let the kid get away with something, to say the very least.

It was actually a beautiful morning. The birds were nowhere in sight, the wind was knocking old mailboxes down and it was pouring like crazy.

Yeah... did he say beautiful?

Scratch that. It was absolutely disgusting weather, but Naruto couldn't complain. He liked rainy weather, in fact. The moist air and the greens sparkling where the rain hit it. The only thing he hated about it was thunder. The loud noise... he would be under his bed in a heartbeat.

He was actually heading towards his bestfriend's house. Which was course, was none other than Uchiha Sasuke.

Sasuke was always the best at everything. He was a good cook, always made perfect grades, always scored the winning goal in soccer games, the girls digged him, the boys respected him, and so on and so on.

And that day Sasuke saved Naruto from getting hit by that car because he was stupid enough to see that raman coupon in the middle of the street and he just HAD to take the risk, yeah. Sasuke then punched the crap outta him for being so stupid. And now that Naruto realized it. It wasn't worth it.

And you know why?

That ramen coupon didn't make it. Naruto clearly remembered when he even yelled at Sasuke for saving him and not the coupon. And then the blonde cried for a couple hours over that. Sasuke just groaned and asked God why did he have to be there when that idiot was.

Naruto grinned to himself.

Yup. They always said that best friends meet in weird ways.

Alright, that was a huge lie, but still. That memory was special to Naruto and even if for some unknown reason he gets whacked by an elephant falling from the sky and somehow lost his memory, he sured himself that he would still remember that day.

When Naruto reached the apartments he glanced at the Uchiha's door and stood beside it, knocking rather boldly.

He grinned widder (if poosible) for today was the day that he would tell that teme that he liked him. And he doesn't mean like as in like. He means like as in like-like.

It's been three years and Naruto finally told himself that today would be the day that he would tell the older man that he liked him. Ah, yes. Life was sweet.

Well, so... he thought...

"Naruto!" The blonde frozed as he glanced at a girl with strawberry pink hair and green eyes. Oh hell no. How could Naruto forget this.

Sasuke was dating Sakura Haruno.

Immediately Naruto felt his color drain. How in God's name did Naruto forget that?! Seriously?! Was he that stupid or what?! Naruto told his legs to retreat and run away before the girl invited him in, but his feet were as stupid as his brain, like he forgot how to walk.

And Naruto noticed that the girl was just wearing a really long shirt. No shorts nor skirts... or whatever else girls wear. And come to think of it... the blonde also figured out that that was Sasuke's shirt.

Next in Naruto's body freeze came his blood.

He shouldn't be here...

He shouldn't be here at all...

"Naruto-kun?" Naruto looked at the girl shyly and gave a small smile at the older girl's concerned expression.

"Ah, hey, Sakura-chan." don't sound so nervous, idiot," I was just wondering if Sasuke was in."

Sakura gave him a warm smile and she stepped out of the way for Naruto to enter," Of course he is. Come on in."

Naruto gave a small nod as gratitude as he walked in and stood by the door, hearing Sakura closing it from behind and jogging into the kitchen.

The blonde lowered his eyes as he glanced around the room, frowning. On the walls were some pictures of Sasuke and Sakura. Smiling. And they looked... happy...

I really shouldn't be here...

I shouldn't...

I should be happy for them... but... It makes me miserable... Am I really that selfish...?

"Naruto?" the blonde jumped upon hearing that husky bedroom voice from the black haired raven, who blinked at him in confusion. From the sound of it, Sasuke had just woken up. The blonde scooted away to the far end of the couch (when had he sat there?) as Sasuke tried sitting down next to him. Naruto wanted to die.

"H-hai, Sasuke, I-" he felt his body become stiff again. Sasuke wasn't even wearing a shirt and his pants were only halfway zipped and wasn't even buttoned.

Nartuto lowered his head. Naruto reeeeaaallly wanted to die, and if anything cry.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out what they're doing.

How could Sasuke do this to him?

No.

Sasuke wasn't doing anything to him, it was because of himself.

"Naruto?" Sasuke asked, lowering his brows and touched Naruto's shoulder. The blonde jerked his head up and finally did what he had been begging for.

He got up and ran.

"Naruto!" he heard Sasuke call after him. But he wouldn't stop. Couldn't stop. He was being selfish and he would drag Sasuke into the mix. And he wouldn't want to hurt the only friend he ever had, right?

So he ran.

He ran while equal tears paced down his cheeks, and the rain slammed down harder, for each rain drop that fell, would be like the blonde's tears.
