Chapter 1: The Last Memory

The bell for luch rang.

Sasuke soon started collecting his books when a famliar voice called out to him. "Oi! Sasuke!". He look over to the voice only tonspot a blond blur but before he could follow on, someone was already squezing him to death. Thankfully, before he swore he would've just died, the grip was released and was transferred to his wrist.

"Hurry up, teme. We're eating at the rooftop today. You and me. No buts!".

"Alright, alright", Sasuke confirmed, hurrying with his possessions.

Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Namikaze had long been bestfriends. Although their start was very rough, they managed to get along in the end. Until now, their friendship was inseperable.

The two started eating the moment they got to the windy rooftop. The place was theirs to keep ever since they learned that nobody ever bothered going up to the place.

It was quiet at first, not counting Naruto's "ITADAKIMASU!", since they knew there was a topic needing to be talked about. But after eating, Naruto, thinking that the said topic will soon be brought up and not the type of person to be in the silence, started with a low voice. "You'll be leaving very early tomorrow, right?".

"Yeah". Sasuke sighed.

"Man! I'll be a lonesome person when you're gone. They'll all suddenly count me out since I have no bestfriend. Hey what do you think about me being an emo?".

Sasuke smirked as he raised an eyebrow as if to say, you serious? Naruto laughed. And soon enough, Sasuke joined in as well in his own little way. ('kay so i said that coz ,no offense, i myself can't imagine Sasuke laughing) Sasuke really enjoys how his bestfriend keeps in blabbering nonsense yet end up being entertained by them.

When the laughter soon died out, Naruto whined, "Why do YOU have to go, Sasuke?".

"Dobe, my whole family's going. It's a business trip, okay?".

"Hmph. No!", Naruto fumed.

"You make it seem like we're leaving for good. It's only 5 years".

"Alright, fine". Naruto looked at his surroundings when he remembered something. "Hey Sasuke! Remember when...".

And for the next minutes, they began reminiscing their stupid and hilarious memories. When it soon ended with a yeah, Naruto stood up and went to the silver railings that guard the students who come there from falling off. "You're really going and this is not some kind of dream?".

Sasuke stood up as well, headed to the blonde and said, "Hey! What's with the tone? 5 years remember? We're not migrating".

"But I'll miss you, Sasuke. I won't have any friend anymore".

Sasuke snorted. "Dobe, you're surrounded by them". Well, it was true. Any person Naruto talks to, immediately becomes one.

"But-", Naruto turned away.

"Hey! What's wrong? You-". Sasuke was in shock. Crystal tears seem to be falling from the blonde's eyes. Never in Sasuke's life had he thought he'd see his best friend cry, being the joyous person he is. Not knowing what to do, except for one, Sasuke hugged his bestfriend. "Ssshhh...stop crying".

"You're the one to...sniff...say...I feel wet by my shoulders", came Naruto's muffled voice.

Sasuke reached for his face. Tears! Tears were actually falling from hs eyes! He exactly had no idea whatsoever what caused him to cry until one conclusion struck him. He said to the blonde, "I'll miss you too, dobe".

"Te...sniff...me!".

They just stood there, wrapped in each other's warmth and comfort until they heard the bell rang.

Naruto let go and wiped his tears. He grabbed his lunch and sped off after saying, "I'll be coming home with you. Gotta say goodbye to everybody!".

-time skip lalalalalalala-

Sasuke and Naruto headed off to the Uchiha house -mansion- after the dismissal bell went off. They walked together in silence until Naruto chose to break it.

"Uhhhh...sorry 'bout a while ago", he said, feeling awkward as he rubbed the back of his head.

"That's alright. Though, I never thought I'd see that side of you".

"Shut Up, Teme! You were crying too!".

"Hn".

When they arrived, Sasuke didn't notice Naruto leave his side until he was already half-dangling, half-squeezing somebody.

"Itachi-nii!", Naruto cried out.

"Hello Naruto-kun", Itachi, Sasuke's 5 year older brother, said sweetly while he brought the dangling blonde down and ruffled his hair. To Itachi, Naruto was always much like his little brother than Sasuke. He enjoyed the blonde's bright and childish behavior that brought him to bring out his older brother abilities. (=_=?)

"I came to say goodbye", Naruto pouted, "since I can't wake up ver early to see you off".

"Alright...mom and dad are in their room...doing a last minute checking".

"Mmmmm...okay. I'll go see them".

Itachi watched the bubbly blonde head off then turned To the younger Uchiha. "Otouto...".

"Hn. Whatever". And with that, Sasuke followed his bestfriend up the staircases. When he arrived, he saw a scene only a certain blonde was capable of doing. His mother was chuckiling at a scene wherein Fugaku was on the floor, tackled by Naruto, who was now on top of him, squeezing the man.

"Hey Uncle Fugaku! I came to say my goodbyes. Dad sends his regards as well!".

Fugaku, then did the same as Itachi and ruffled the blonde's unruly hair. "Alright, kid. Now get off me". Naruto got up and did as he was told.

"Naruto, it's a good thing you're here", Mikoto said after her chuckles had ended, "we're having friend vegetables for dinner. As much as I want you to eat those as well, you could help finish the last ramen cup".

Naruto was always treated like family when it came to the Uchihas, due to the fact that they were his parents' bestfriends. Dinner was also one of the occassions they shared with the Namikaze so they know that ramen is served to him when he stubbornly doesn't accept vegetables for dinner.

"Blech! Vegetables", Naruto made a face of digust.

"Dobe", Sasuke called out to make his presence aware, "you'll have to learn to eat veagetables someday".

"Yeah? Then someday will take long".

"Sasuke, you and Naruto go to your room while I prepare dinner", Mikoto informed.

"Hai ka-san", Sasuke followed.

-Dinner-

The Uchihas ate dinner the way they usually do when Naruto was present. Naruto and Sasuke starts a little conversation until it turns into a debate and Mikoto begins chuckling. Itachi joins in when he becomes Naruto's "lawyer" when the blonde starts losing. While Fugaku...well...he just watches their little pointless nonsense.

When dinner ended, Naruto bade farewell to the Uchihas who had to sleep early but took Sasuke out before leaving.

"What's wrong now, dobe?".

"Ummm...Sasuke, you're my bestfriend right?", Naruto turned to a now nodding Sasuke, "when you get there and study, call me when you find a new one...then I'm telling you if it's alright to befriend that bastard alright?".

"Why do I NEED to call YOU? And besides, you know better that I don't like being friends with anyone".

"Oh...but still ok?".

"Hn". Sasuke gave in.

"Oh and ummmm...", Naruto reached into his bag and brought out an orange box wrapped with a blue ribbon, "I got you this for you".

Sasuke opened the box to find a neclace with a red and white fan pendant. "I didn't know what else to...it reminded me of-", Naruto was cut short when Sasuke took him into an embrace.

"Seriously, dobe. I was used to be forced to watch my mom's shows and you make it seems like we're dating".

Naruto let go. "N-no I'm not!".

"Here", Sasuke took the necklace from the box and placed it around his neck. He reached into his pocket and wrapped his arms around the blonde, placing something in his neck as well. Naruto looked down and saw a blue long crystal dangling from a black rope. ('kay it's not a rope but what else should i call it?) "You're really over reacting about this. So I found this lying in my mom's room. It's probably a broken piece but it matches your eyes you know". Sasuke smiled as Naruto blushed, saying, "Arigato Sasuke!". Naruto pulled the young Uchiha to a tight hug and said, "You know...I think you should smile more often".


Sasuke opened his eyes when Itachi tappd him and told him that they were landing soon. Although it's been 5 years, his last memory with the blonde when they were in 4th grade by the age of 10, will never be forgotten. He can't wait for his arrival. When the right time comes, he's willing to ask his bestfriend out. With that thought, he did the last thing Naruto said to him, he smiled.
