~flashback~

an eight year old naruto was walking along a lake that looked as if it was a sheet of glass, mind you this was early in the morning. he loooked to the peir that he always sat at, to only see a another boy around his age sitting on the edge looking out at the calm water. the boy had midnight black hair with natural deep dark blue highlights. slowly walking onto the board walk, naruto looked closer at the boy. he seemed sad. deciding to keep quiet he sat down on the right corner at the end, looking below him where the water moved slightly with the gentle breeze that flowed through the area. koi fish swam near his feet that slightly touched the clear, calming water, he loved when the fish swam near him it was like they didn't judge him, they accepted him for him. naruto heard shuffling coming from the other side of the peir,looking up he saw the other boy getting up to leave. i think he's leaving because of me. naruto got up and grabbed the boys wrist.

"if your leaving because of me, i can leave if you want?" naruto said with a sad look on his face.

"no, i'm not. why would you think that?" the midnight haired boy asked as he looked at the blonde.

"well everyone hates me, every time i'm around them they look at me coldly, or some way that says they don't like me." naruto explained as he let go of the boys wrist.

"i don't hate you, i don't even know you." the boy repiled.

"i'm naruto uzumaki." naruto said looking into the boys onyx eyes.

"i'm sasuke uchiha." sasuke looked into the boys ocean blue eyes. "can i ask you something?"

naruto looked at the sasuke curiously. "sure..."

"are you part of the uzumaki clan?" sasuke looked at the blonde

"yea but when i was born my parents were killed, i was surpose to live with my cousin and her family but they didn't want me for some reason hell nobody wanted at least until iruka sensei came into the picture and took me in." naruto looked down.

"i see... do wanna hang out?" asked sasuke with a small smile. (a/n i know sasuke smillling?! i though i would be cute.) naruto looked at the boy in front of him, he's accepting me. naruto nodded. from then on the two were best friends. like brothers but theyhad secrects that no one could find because they didn't have an answer to, they only kept it to themselves. why did there hearts beat a million miles an hour or skip a beat when arounnd each other.

~flashback end~

naruto's p.o.v

it had been five years since the two met and durring those years theyrealised they had feelings for each other continued to grow. they had also realised that they wanted more then friendship or brotherhood from the other. though as the years went by sasuke began to get fangirls and fanboys. the two were still close but no one knew of there friendship besides iruka naruto's pracital father. at the moment the two were sitting on naruto's bed talking about their class mates.

"no seriously i swear the last prank was two weeks ago and it was funny." naruto aruged with a playfull glare.

"and you don't call putting a wopicushin on the hokage's chair?" sasuke rolled his eyes.

"i keep telling you it wasn't me so stop bring it up, it might have been his grandson." naruto looked at sasuke in the eyes.

"well they blamed you for it, but then again we were at the lake at the time it happened." sasuke rubbed his chin.

"anyway as i was saying..." before naruto finished what he was saying there was a knock rapped on the door.

"alright i'm coming." naruto yelled over the loud knocks on his door. upon opening the door he saw iruka with few royal guards behind him. looking curiously at the three guards then iruka.

"naruto what did you do this time?" sasuke glared at the blonde.

"nothing alls i did was missed up the order of iruka's soaps and that." he said with a small smile. then looked iruka. "i didn't do anything wrong besides that small prank on iruka."

"no naruto we're not here because you did anything wrong. the hokage wants to talk with you." iruka ruffled naruto's hair.

"can sasuke come too?" he asked.

"yea he can but he will have to wait outside."

"i would have come either way." sasuke stated.

in the hokage's office

the old third hokage sat behind his deep brown office desk as naruto sat a few feet away on a single chair. looking anywhere but the old wrinkled man infront of him. the hokage looked at naruto and sighed.

"naruto i wanted to speak to about your parents." the hokage looked the paper work infront of him.

"what about them?" naruto asked.

"well today is your thirteenth birthday." the hokage looked suprised at the young shinobi sitting on the small chair.

"i know and i don't anything depressing happening because this day is depressing enough as it is." naruto glared at the wooden floor below him.

"i know but it's something you must know. you already know what's inside of you, the nine tailed kitsune. but you don't know the story behind it." lord hokage explained.

"well i don't want to know yet wait until i want to know." naruto glared at the hokage and stood from his spot but just before he left the hokage said something unexpected.

"your just like your mother, you know that?" lord hokage looked at naruto with soft eyes.

"i know, iruka and kakashi always tell me that." naruto left after that, he walked right past sasuke who looked at with curious expression.

"naruto! wait up!" sasuke yelled after his best friend.

"catch up then slow poke." naruto called back. "maybe i should be calling you dead last?" he mumbled.

"i herd that baka." sasuke glared at the blonde. "let's go swimming at the lake." naruto nodded at the idea. water always seemed to take his mind off of things.

naruto sat on the old wooden peir with sasuke. they had just been swimming in the clear lake before them so now they're dripping wet. how long has it been since we've done something like this? naruto looked at sasuke only to see onyx orbs already looking at him. i wish i could tell him how i feel, i mean sasuke should know that i like him...no love him and i always have but i'm afraid it will ruin our friendship.

"what are you thinking about dobe ?" sasuke asked with curiousity.

"nothing much."naruto looked away with a blush that brighted his cheeks .

"it must be something perverted then if your blushing." sasuke chuckled. i think i should make him blush, he looks cute.

"maybe, maybe not." naruto sang. "hey sasuke do you like anyone?"

"yea, why do you want to know?" sasuke tilted his head to the side a bit.

"describe that person." naruto stated, more like demanded as he looked at the sky.

"funny, cute, clumsy, handsome." sasuke turned away blushing. damn it, i'm suppose to make him blush, fuck.

"is it boy or a girl?" naruto asked still looking at the sky.

"if i tell you, you have to tell me if you like anyone and describe that person. deal?"

"okay, so yes i like someone. they're funny, cute, funny, hot tempered, stubborn, and hot in genral." naruto blushed a bit. "oh and my crush is a boy and i think i love that person."

"it the same with me and i forgot hot tempered, stubborn and adoreable and many other things." sasuke looked atnaruto with yearning, yearning to kiss those lips on the beautiful face, yearning to make him his and his alone. he'd even buy a collar with his name on it.

"i have an idea let's say the persons name at the same time so we know who it is." naruto had wide grin on his face. damn naruto and his smiles. sasuke cursed.

"okay... on three or after three?" sasuke looked at naruto, knowing the answer would change their relationship big time.

"on, 1..." naruto started.

"2..." said sasuke. thier was pregnant pause as the two looked at each before realising it they said their answer.

"you" they answered in unison. eyes widen in disbelief.

bit of a cliff hanger, i know and the characters were a bit oc, so if you think they were a bit too oc or some thing needs changing, review i would love to hear back from you. just no really, really bad things okay.
