A Sasu-Naru two-shot. Not much else to say.
Uzumaki Naruto didn't like cemeteries. He hated them. With a passion. A deep one. He couldn't believe he was stuck with Sasuke, Sakura and Lee on night patrol in a very large cemetery with tomb stones shaped like angels, but in shadows, looked like something incredibly sinister. And why did it have to be night patrol? In fucking Winter?! When the nights were longer and darker and colder. Speaking of cold it was bloody freezing in the graveyard. As cold as death.
'Stupid, stupid, stupid Uzumaki!' Naruto thought. 'Why did you have to go and think that?! Sasukes right, I really am a Baka.'
Naruto shook his head as if to rid himself of that thought and the fear.
"Scared?" a quiet voice whispered in his ear. Naruto jumped a foot into the air and let out a tiny squeak. He turned and came face to face with a smirking Uchiha. He then chose to look for Sakura and Lee, to see if either of them came to his aid. But he found them gone.
"Where-" Naruto whispered.
"They went to search the other side of the grave-yard." Sasuke said. His voice seemed unnaturally loud in the creepily quiet grave-yard. Naruto flinched. Not just at the volume in his voice but the way he so calmly said 'grave-yard'. Naruto started shivering. It was so god damn cold!!!
"Wow," Sasuke said, a little quieter than he did before. "The Dobe is so scared he's shaking."
"No! I'm not! Anyway, everybody has to be scared of something."
"Really?"
"Yeah! So what are you afraid of then Oh-So-Calm-Pretty-Boy?"
"That's Mr. Pretty-Boy to you. And I'm not everybody."
"Don't I know it." Naruto whispered. Sasuke stiffened a little. But pretended he hadn't heard.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing." Naruto turned as he said this, but as he put his foot down, he stepped on a twig and it made a loud snapping noise. Naruto squeaked again and flew backwards and attached himself to Sasukes waist, shaking very badly and quietly whimpering. Sasuke gasped silently at the contact. Half because of the surprise, but the other half was because of how cold Naruto was. The guy felt like he had been shoved into a freezer. When Sasuke looked down at Narutos face, he noticed his face had a terrified look on it and his lips were turning blue.
"Oi. Dobe." Sasuke whispered as he gently removed Narutos arms from his waist and knelt down beside him. He held Narutos wrists in his hands. "Are you really that scared of grave-yards?" Naruto still had his eyes closed and gulped back a couple of sobs that were coming.
At that moment, the wind chose to blow through the branches on the trees nearby, making really eerie noises. Narutos eyes snapped open and he flung himself at Sasuke again, now full out crying. With the blow of the body throwing itself at him, Sasuke fell back and landed on his (very nice, may I add) rear, so that Naruto was curled up in his lap and clutching his shirt, as if he would be ripped away soon and drenching Sasukes shirt with tears.
Sasuke hesitantly put his arms around Naruto, still feeling how unbearably cold he was. If it was unbearable for him, Naruto must be feeling much, much worse. So, with one arm still around Naruto, Sasuke pulled his large, woollen cloak off and grimaced from the loss of warmth. He carefully wrapped the both of them up in it and made sure every part of the freezing teen was covered, except for his head. Naruto still needed to breathe after all.
Sasuke just then noticed that Naruto didn't seem to be crying that much anymore. Occasionally, there would be a sniffle or a small whimper from the younger nin, but that was it.
They seemed to be sitting there for only ten minutes, before Sakura and Lee came back. Sakura draped in Lee's cloak too. Sakura gave Sasuke a knowing look, and he returned it, which made he blush and glance at Lee.
"Our shift is over. We can go home now and get out of this terrible place!" Sakura said in a relieved voice. Lee put his arm around her.
"I'll walk you home! Sakura-san."
"Chan. Sakura-chan." She corrected him as they both walked away.
Sasuke looked down at Naruto. He was asleep. Sasuke let out a little smile. The Dobe was even cuter when he slept. He hated to do it, but he would probably get the brunt of it if he didn't. So Sasuke shook the blond lightly, trying to get him up. Naruto wouldn't comply. Sasuke shook a little harder and even whispered his name a few times, but when he finally got a response, it was "don't...want...t...move...stay...with...me." and Naruto clutched even tighter to Sasuke.
He was a little surprised by this, but wasn't annoyed. Now he could stay the night, with Naruto at his place, and when asked, he could just say Naruto didn't let him go.
"Fine Dobe. Have it your way. I'll stay with you." Sasuke smiled and stood, with Naruto still sleeping in his arms and the cloak still draped mostly around the younger of the two.
Sasuke notices that dawn had just started to crack, so that Sasuke could find his way out without tripping and disturbing Naruto. Sasuke walked towards Narutos apartment. He had never actually been there before and was very surprised by the size and state of it. It was shabby and rundown, with obscene things written onto the door and walls and horrible words written in spray paint. There was no way he was going to bring Naruto back into that. It was disgusting and Naruto didn't deserve it. He deserved so much better.
So Sasuke brought Naruto back to his place, where they slept side by side, holding each other, in Sasukes bedroom.
There will be a chapter two here! And it's continuing from that night onward and what happens the next day, but not right now, cuz it's eleven p.m. and I was up early this morning. Maybe tomorrow?
