"Hmm...I remember this…" Naruto said, absently flicking through pictures on his cell phone. The pictures were from the museum Naruto had traveled to with the camp he worked at with small children, called "Takuyomi Kids". That was the day he met him.

"Sasuke…" Naruto whispered, stroking the photo.

"Hmm?" said Sasuke, questioningly. "What's that you're looking at?"

"Oh, this?" asked Naruto, not expecting Sasuke to care what he was looking at. "They're pictures…of that day, at the museum…"

"Oh, yes." said Sasuke. He lay down on his side beside Naruto, who was lying on his stomach on the double bed in his room. "The Takuyomi Kids' field trip…"


Naruto held the hands of young Koyuki Kazahana in his right, and Sosetsu Kazahana in his left, the twins' faces lit up in excitement.

"Naruto nii-chan!" began Koyuki, in a high pitched voice. "Where are we going?"

Naruto smiled. "To the museum, to see the dinosaurs!"

Sosetsu bounced as he walked, saying happily: "Oooooh, I can't waaaaaait! I just looooooove dinos!"

They came to a crosswalk and stopped. All of the other children were behind Naruto, and were talking in earnest about the museum, the dinosaurs and the prehistoric bugs they'd see. Naruto smiled again and, as the crosswalk light had changed to "walk".

"Come on, guys! Let's cross!" he looked back towards the kids, mixed in with the few adults holding a few kids' hands. Sakura was stuck in the center of a mob of kids, mostly girls who saw Sakura as their idol. Several paces behind Sakura, was Gaara, who was supporting many of the "monkey kids". They were climbing over top of him, falling off at random intervals. As they got to the other side of the street, Sakura called: "All right! We're going into the museum in a few minutes, so I'm going to go over the rules for the museum!"

As Sakura spoke, a champagne coloured mini van drove up to the curb. The grey haired driver said a few words to the person behind the tinted window of the passenger seat, and then the door opened. Out of the passenger seat door came, in Naruto's mind, the most beautiful thing he'd seen in all his life. His shining raven hair seemed to punctuate his pale, flawless skin. His thin, beautiful body moved with agility and soundlessness. But then again, Naruto was too far away to even hear his tight leather jeans rub one leg against the other.

Suddenly, the Kazahana twins were pulling on his hands, and he realised Sakura's speech was over. He moved along with the rest of the camp, stealing glimpses at the teenage boy who was now picking up a camera from the back seat in the van and slinging a camera bag over his shoulder. He closed the door and strode meaningfully towards the group of kids now lead by Sakura. As they came to the door, the raven head was falling in step beside Naruto and Koyuki. Naruto looked at him and nearly crashed into the double doors that Sakura had decided not to hold open for him. Naruto opened the door and the 'Raven' squeezed through past him. The raven's upper left thigh passed slowly over the left side of Naruto's pelvis. As if in slow motion, the raven's butt was gently resting on the space just under Naruto's navel.

"Uhm…nnn…"Naruto whispered. He squeezed the twins' hands a little as Raven pushed against him. He wasn't sure, but he thought he heard Raven moan slightly before pushing past Naruto completely. That was the moment that Naruto was first glad he was wearing his tight jeans.

Damn! He thought, unimpressed with himself. He's hot, and he's got me all hard now! And I don't even know his name!

As the day progressed, Naruto saw the Raven a lot. By the time lunch time came around, he'd spotted Raven in every room he'd been to with the kids. By the time they'd gotten to the cafeteria, Raven was already there. Naruto walked over to the table where he sat alone, and sat down beside him.

"Hey!" he said, cheerfully, as he sat down.

"Eh? Oh, it's you again." He replied, coldly. Naruto couldn't be sure, but he thought he saw the slightest bit of pink steal over Raven's face, but only for a few seconds, but he couldn't be sure.

"Uh…yeah…it's me again." Naruto realized he sounded kind of sad, and smiled again.

"Well? What do you want?" asked Raven, annoyed.

"I want to get to know you, that's all. You're all alone here, so I thought I'd come see who you are."

He's so cheerful. Thought Raven, smiling in spite of himself. Thank god he came to me. I was so nervous about talking to him before!

But out loud he said: "Fine. My name's Sasuke. You?"

"I'm Naruto!" he said happily, thrusting out a hand. "Pleased to meet you!"

Sasuke took the hand. It was warm and had a welcoming feeling to it. Sasuke smiled.

"What're you doing for the rest of the day?" asked Naruto blushing. He looked down when Sasuke didn't answer immediately.

"I'm…taking pictures for the paper…"

"Eh?!" Naruto gasped, eyes widening. "Oh…well then, I guess you can't come with us. You're too busy-"

"No! I mean…"said Sasuke, alarmed. "I guess I could come…" he was blushing now, too.

Naruto gave him the thumbs up. "Heh heh! Let's go!"

"Yeah…"
