This was Sasuke's chance. He finally after 2 and ½ years of separation, had the chance to confess his love to the one and only he ever loved, and he was going to do this at the team seven reunion. Ever since Team 7 went there separate ways to Train Sasuke was counting down the days until he could see his beloved team mate again.

Sasuke woke up that morning unusually excited especially for him. He Crawled out of bed wide awake. He took a shower making sure to scrub all over got out and brushed his teeth. He then went to His closet and pulled out a Black wife beater and kaki cargo pants. Of course he wanted to look his best, after all he hadn't seen his friends and sensei in 2 ½ years, and not to mention today was the day he would finally confess his love.

Sasuke turned off the light closed and locked the door behind him. Hands in Pockets he casually strolled down the street towards the all to Familiar Training ground where himself Kakashi Naruto and Sakura had tried to steal the bells what seemed now, like so long ago.

Sasuke turned the corner and instantly saw a bright familiar face….sakura. "Sasuke-kun!!" she squealed running towards Sasuke and throwing her arms around him. Sasuke froze awkwardly wondering what to do and slightly annoyed at the rushed greeting. He pulled her Into a loose one armed hug.

"Been a long time..." mumbled Sasuke

"Yea sure has." Replied sakura "I bet you thought about me every day didn't you Sasuke-kun!!!" she squealed hopefully

Sasuke rolled his eyes. Had she not matured at all? They were now 17 and nearing adult hood and still, she was purely obsessed with him.

"Yea sure…whatever…" Sasuke replied totally unimpressed

But it was not sakura at all that Sasuke was so excited to admit his secret to Today, (in fact he quite despised the mere presence of her even after there long time apart) nor was it master Kakashi, the one and only one that he ever truly had any feelings for was Naruto who apparently had not yet arrived. Sasuke NEVER disliked Naruto. In fact, the only reason he acted like he disliked him was because he was to afraid to admit his true feelings, he just completely related to Naruto and had a connection that 2 ½ years ago he was to afraid to admit. SO he tried to disguise it by showing pure malice towards him lying to himself, thus, making him feel only that much guiltier.

Sasuke sighed, and decided the only thing to do now was waiting and avoiding Sakura.

He jumped up to the upper Branches of a large sycamore tree, tracing Narutos name into the wood with his finger.

What was actually no more then 30 or so minutes stretched and felt like hours to the desperate Sasuke, he longed to get it over and done with and grew tired of looking down and seeing sakura gawking at how good he looked in the wife beater. Just as he figured that Naruto (or Kakashi for that matter) weren't coming…..

"Sa-Kura CHAN!!!!!"

Screamed a very familiar voice just barely audible from Sasuke's spot in the sycamore tree, and past him like a hummingbird flew the blur that was Naruto, running at top speed toward the extremely dazed sakura. Naruto stopped right in front of here with an ear to ear grin spreading across his face.

"Hello, Naruto." She said surprisingly enthusiastically holding out her hand for Naruto to shake. And he did.

"Has Sasuke-Kun arrived yet?" he said through clenched breaths. Sakura Pointed to a spot behind Naruto to the left. Naruto straightened his posture and turned around. Naruto looked very different from the last time Sasuke laid eyes on him, even Sakura looked a little bit amazed. He had a much more masculine look to him, a more defined Jaw line, just slightly longer hair and a remarkably buffer upper body but he still had his sensitive blue eyes. And, apparently he had gained quite a bit of style over the years as well; he was sporting a velvet blue blazer over a white tee-shirt with faded blue jeans. At this point Sasuke wondered to himself if he had change at all….

Sasuke Jumped out pf the tree as Naruto turned around to face him. The two old friends stood there for a moment just staring

"So Sasuke what have you been up to?" Naruto said scratching the back of his head slightly awkwardly but still smiling that ear to ear grin

"Nothing really," Sasuke muttered back. This had not been the reunion he had hope for. Sasuke thrust out his hand and Naruto shook it. Butterflies erupted in the pit of Sasuke's stomach and he clenched tightly to the soft hand that was narutos's.

A whistling noise and a random "yo" from nowhere announced the arrival of Kakashi Sensei. Dressed in his usual Jonin outfit he stood there brandishing a Picnic basket. Sakura ran up and hugged her old master, Kakashi blushed. "Sorry I'm late," he said "I got lost on my way to the erg…supermarket."

Kakashi Unpacked the basket and settled the blanket that he packed under a blooming sakura tree not to far from the post that Naruto was tied to and nearly forced too starve to death back in the day. There they all sat, team Seven reunited, all chatting and catching up with what they missed.

"Oops I just realized," Kakashi gushed. "I forgot the salt. Sakura would you like to accompany me in retrieving it? I'm rather easily distracted..."

"Yea we know…" sakura replied "okay ill go…. But we better make this quick…" she said turning and fluttering her lashes at Sasuke

"Be back soon Boys!" Kakashi waved…and the two of them were gone.

Now was Sasuke's chance, and probably his only to tell Naruto how he felt...but how would he bring it up?

"Umm, Naruto," he mumbled "Can I have a word with you?"

"Sure" replied Naruto through mouthfuls of ramen "were the only ones here right? Say what's on your mind" he smiled reassuringly

"Well um I've felt like this for a while now…" he mumbled hoping Naruto had heard him. Sasuke looked up for a split second to notice Narutos blue orb eyes looking straight into his deep brown ones he quickly focused back on the spot on the ground again and continued "and umm well, you know how when we were younger I was always a little bit mean to you?" he quickly went on, barely allowing Naruto time to nod " well it wasn't because I didn't like you but, in fact (he added as an afterthought ) that was the farthest thing from it, well I really, I-I really loved you…but was to afraid to admit it to myself and you." He looked up and could feel the blood rushing to his face as he stared into Narutos beautiful eyes. Naruto Looked stunned but also had a strangely exasperated expression on his face as though he had something to get off his chest as well

" Sasuke I..." he began placing his hand firmly on Sasuke's shoulder looking into Sasuke's deep eyes he knew in his heart that he had always truly loved Sasuke as well

"I- feel the same way" Sasuke was shocked and was sure that Naruto could see the happiness gleaming in the Ravens eyes. Sasuke raised his hand to his own shoulder and placed it on top of Narutos smiling. Sasuke raised his other Hand and caressed the side of Naruto face, Naruto reacted by blushing deeply. Both boys leaned in and Sasuke Place a swift quick peck on Narutos lips. Unsatisfied he leaned in again for more. He wanted to taste Naruto, feel his hot breath that he longed for for all these years, Sasuke planted his lips again on Narutos placing his hand on the back of Narutos head and stroking his golden hair. To Sasuke this is what he waited for and all he wanted for so long he finally pulled away and touched a finger to Narutos flushed pink lips. The two Boys stood up and Sasuke embraced Naruto around his waist in a tight, passionate hug " I missed you so much, I counted down the days…I love you… Naruto" Sasuke whispered his hot breath tickling his new lover's ear as the sweet words bounced through his head. Naruto wrapped his arms around the ravens neck and embraced tightly, hands clenched in fists to his new lovers clothing he held on to Sasuke with his head laying on the ravens chest listening to his heart beat and never, ever, wanting to let him go. He smelled so wonderful; breathing in the scent in wafts…the scent of his new lover…..Sasuke Uchiha.
