Hey, ya'll. Elric-Chan here. This is the third fic I'm posting (but my rabid fans should know that).

I have a big ego.

Well, SasukeXNaruto isn't something that I could ever see really happenning, but fanfiction is wild. Fanfiction is crazy. Fanfiction is- well, I could go on like this all day.

So… um… before I waste any more space and before I bore you guys to death, let's just get right into the story.

Disclaimer: I…DON'T…OWN…NARUTO! (I think that should make up for when I forgot to add a disclaimer on "The Origin of Akamaru")

It was pointless.

Naruto knew that Sakura would always love Sasuke. But that was it, wasn't it? If he could obsess over Sasuke like everyone else, then wouldn't Sakura get jealous? No, maybe not. But it was an interesting scheme, a game almost. Although cozying up to another guy wasn't particularly something he wanted to do, it seemed like the perfect plan.

But Sasuke was ruining it.

He was much harder to resist than Naruto had originally thought he would be. Now he understood what made the boy so appealing to Sakura, and when he followed Sasuke into his sleeping room, he knew that it was about much more than just making a girl jealous.

It wasn't his fault.

He couldn't help that he wanted to own those black eyes staring into his, or the fact that he sighed in pleasure when he finally lured their lips together in a kiss, and he certainly couldn't help that they tripped over themselves and the bed just happened to be there.

He couldn't help any of that.

But he liked it.

There. See, I told ya it was short and stupid, didn't I?

The only reason I wrote it is because the idea just popped into my head one day. And with me, if I have an idea, it stays right at the front of my mind, until I write it. Rather annoying, actually.

So that's how this story was born.

I don't feel like talking anymore, so just get on with reviewing.
