Squad seven was on another mission outside of the village and Naruto was getting restless. This waiting is so boring! Why can't we just get to the good part? Naruto felt movement to his left and looked over to see Sasuke rolling over to his stomach. Naruto's heart started to beat a bit faster. Three months ago it would only have done this for Sakura but then, he had a full change of heart.

"My turn to take watch…try to get some sleep would you?" Naruto rolled over onto his back and closed his eyes. He tried to sleep but Sasuke's face swam across his mind. Finally he got his head to quiet down so that he could get some rest.

"Wake up, Naruto. I think it's about time we had a talk." Naruto opened his eyes to see Sasuke above him. Naruto sat up and looked around. He tried to look like he would have before.

"What do you want? I'm trying to sleep." Naruto looked to his right and saw Kakashi on his stomach, taking his turn for watchman. Sakura was snuggled in next to him. Her face was buried into Kakashi's ribs. Naruto partly blamed this relationship between Sakura and her much older mentor for his change of heart. The other part was that he blamed himself for being so stupid that he had not seen it before.

"I need to talk to you. I figured this would be the best time." Sasuke grabbed Naruto's arm and pulled him to his feet. Kakashi looked over and gave Naruto the thumbs up. Naruto just rolled his eyes and followed Sasuke. Ever since Sakura started going out with him he's been a total idiot and acted like a kid.

"What's so important that you have to wake me up between shifts?" Sasuke stopped under a tree that was far enough away from the others that there was no way they would be able to hear them. Naruto leaned against the tree and crossed his arms. "I'm extremely tired after training all day then taking first watch." Sasuke turned to face Naruto and had an odd expression on his face. "What?"

"Nothing…you're just extremely beautiful under the moonlight." Naruto breathed in sharply. Am I dreaming? Sasuke took a step closer to Naruto. "Don't worry. You're not dreaming. You see the reason I never looked twice at Sakura when she was interested in me was because I was interested in you. It hurt to talk to you like I did but I didn't want to admit it or make you uncomfortable because I always thought that you weren't into guys." Sasuke looked a little embarrassed. "I've known that you liked me for a while now. I just didn't know how to admit that I liked you, too." Sasuke's embarrassment vanished and he took another step closer. Naruto felt awkward. He wanted Sasuke to come closer but he also didn't want Sasuke to feed this annoying feeling. Another step closer. Now he was at arms length. "I want you. But, can I have you?"

"Yes." Naruto heard his mouth betray him. This is going to end in heartache and I know it. Damn! I'm leading myself on now. He could never really like me this way. Sasuke took a last step closer.

"Good because pretty soon I wouldn't have been able to keep it a secret anymore." Sasuke's mouth found Naruto's. Naruto uncrossed his arms and put them around Sasuke's neck. Sasuke put both hands on either hip and brought Naruto closer to him. Their chests practically glued together, Sasuke pushed Naruto up against the tree. His right hand stroked through Naruto's short, blonde hair and landed beside his head against the tree. Sasuke's left hand went to Naruto's hip and slid down to his thigh. Naruto unwrapped his arms from around Sasuke's neck and entwined his fingers into Sasuke's front two belt loops. They pulled their lips apart and smiled at each other. Sasuke leaned in and took Naruto's lips again. Their breathing became short and sharp gasps of air and their kisses became more passionate.

Naruto woke up back at the camp. For two and a half months they had been training during the day and taking turns as watchman at night. They had received news that Itachi had planned to come and pay a nice death visit to his younger brother. Naruto opened his eyes and blinked a few times to get his vision to de-blur. He sat up and looked around him. Good dream but bad dream. My head really needs to stop doing stuff like this. He looked down and saw that Sasuke had snuggled up to him. Naruto moved over a bit and tried to look like he was still sleeping. No wonder I had that dream. Naruto heard a noise and looked up. Kakashi and Sakura were walking towards them. Kakashi whispered something into Sakura's ear and she giggled. Naruto rolled his eyes and flopped down onto his side. Do they have to do that every morning? Geez! Even just seeing them a little sweaty gets my imagination working and then… Naruto mentally gagged. Gross. Sakura poked Naruto's forehead.

"Get up sleeping beauty. It's a wonderful morning. The sun's all bright and they sky is all clear." Sakura giggled again. Naruto opened his eyes and glared at her.

"I'd rather not see you guys coming back from one of your…outings." Naruto shut his eyes and rolled over. He felt a push against his chest as Sasuke rolled towards Naruto instead of away. He'd better be sleeping or I swear to god he's going to get it. Naruto's eyes snapped open as he heard a groan from Sasuke.

"My back hurts. Sleeping on the ground isn't fun anymore." Sakura and Kakashi both snickered. Naruto and Sasuke glared at them.

"What?" They said in unison, which made them look at each other. Both blushed and looked away from each other. Another snicker erupted from Sakura and Kakashi.

"Shut up!" Naruto threw a look at them and got up. He looked at them for a moment then turned and walked into the trees.

"Naruto! Come back! We're sorry!" He could still hear them laughing behind his back. "Seriously! It's not safe!" The calls became more distant as Naruto realized he had begun running.

Two hours had passed and Sasuke was getting antsy. Where the hell is he? Naruto should have been back by now. All he needed to do was blow off some steam. Sasuke walked over to a patch of bushes that were rustling profoundly. "I'm going to go find Naruto." A pink-faced Sakura popped out of the bushes.

"Okay. Just make sure you come back with him. You never know what he could get himself into." Sakura giggled. She looked down at something near her feet. "Quit that! That's my foot!" Sakura burst out into a laughing fit and fell over. "Quit! I…can't…breathe!"

Sasuke stalked off in the direction Naruto had went, mumbling something about how Sakura and Kakashi needed to get a room rather than bushes.
