Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.


"You're insane."

Naruto winched a little. He had a feeling he was supposed to be used to the harshness of Sasuke, but still, hearing that from a five-year-old was telling him that yes, maybe he was. Because children don't lie. They tell the truth quite bluntly.

But this child was Sasuke. Sasuke was special and Sasuke could lie. Naruto wasn't insane.

"Yes you are."

And now the five-year-old Sasuke could read his mind. But he still refused to think of himself as insane. Literally or even if the word was used more loosely. He was just crazy. Crazy with love. He was in love with Sasuke! And Sasuke should know that. Sasuke had been regenerated just like he was and Sasuke was in love with him too.

Although it surely didn't seem like he was. But Naruto knew better.

"Just wait till I grow up. Have a little patience."

How could he have patience? He had been searching for Sasuke for God knows how long and now he was right there. Naruto didn't have patience to begin with. And Sasuke knew that, he did. And the five-year-old was smirking at him because of it. Because Sasuke had patience, unlike him.

Besides, Naruto was sure the Naruto from ways back didn't get the change to be with Sasuke either. So now he had to do "insane" things to be with this Sasuke. Naruto was crazy with love.

"It's not my fault when -ah, pardon me- if you get caught."

Naruto scoffed. This child's vocabulary was probably wider than his will ever be. Witty little Sasuke. He could think of something, something clever to make them get out of the trouble Naruto had them so conveniently gotten into. Or rather, Naruto was the one in trouble. How could a five-year-old get into this kind of trouble? It was because of the eighteen-year-old Naruto. And society didn't like that. It didn't like that at all.

But Sasuke was enjoying all of this. Him and his tiny little brain. Sasuke looked offended. Naruto was pretty sure he had kept the comment about his brain inside his head.

"Thinking things through might help, you know. You're going to get into a shit-load of trouble and I can't help you out because I'm inside a body like this."

And now the toddler was using bad words. Naruto hoped it wasn't because of him. Because even if Sasuke was Sasuke, Sasuke was still a child and as a child Sasuke would absorb all sort of things, like say, cursing.

His parents would probably be furious if it turned out the child was cursing because Naruto had taught him those words.

That, of course, being the least of his worries at the moment. Naruto was never the one to fully concentrate on the most pressing matters.

Like the fact that he had sort of kidnapped Sasuke and was now driving far away from the town they had graced with their presence a while ago. And to think that he had no idea what he was doing. But at least Sasuke was there, sitting beside him and giving sarcastic comments. Naruto felt so happy.

"What the hell do you think we're going to do from now on?"

Well, they could live hidden away somewhere happily ever after. He could watch Sasuke grow up. Sasuke would, at some point at least, be the absolutely droolable teenager he had been in his previous life. And then they could have fun. Because wasn't that why people fell in love?

Only, it would take ten years for Sasuke to grow. And then Naruto would be twenty-eight.

Ten years would be a long wait. He'd have to "entertain" himself somehow. Naruto glanced at the little five-year-old beside him.

"I know you have hormones but checking out a five-year-old. You're sick."

Surprisingly there was no disgust in Sasuke's voice, only amusement. Maybe he knew that Naruto wouldn't touch his body when it was like that. Naruto wouldn't, couldn't take advantage of him. Sasuke was Sasuke but Sasuke was a child right now. Naruto wasn't sick like that.

So instead of touching, Naruto wondered if he should just jerk off while Sasuke was watching. And look at that, now Sasuke was looking disgusted.

Naruto laughed awkwardly, trying to convince the little boy beside him, and himself too, that it had been a joke. Of course it had. Naruto didn't need the little Sasuke to see him go at it. He'd just use the image of a more grown up Sasuke like all those times before.

Witty little Sasuke looked sceptical.

"You turned out to be optimistic and irrational, just like I imagined. It's odd though. You're the only thing I can remember. I wonder what our lives were before the regeneration. What kind of lives we led?"

Frankly, at this point, Naruto wouldn't give a damn. What did it matter when he just knew that he was in love with the five-year-old witty little Sasuke, driving away from the town he had grown up in after having kidnapped him. And to think that Sasuke was the child of important people, making things much more difficult for Naruto.

What they were before wouldn't help them now, unless they were some uber ninjas and could just kill off anyone and everything that came in their way. Even if that was illegal.

But it already was illegal to have kidnapped a child, have feelings for the said child, and drive so fast in that specific lane. Naruto made a note to slow down the pace.

"Is that a farm?"

But of course it was a farm. With cows and horses and all that was fun and entertaining among the children. Sasuke wasn't that convinced. Honestly, he should act more like the five-year-old that he was.

Not that Naruto minded that much. It was just like his Sasuke should be, a child or not. He drove on for awhile, then reaching some farm, pulling into the yard. Sasuke turned his questioning eyes to him. Naruto just smiled and got out of the car. He circled it and opened the door on Sasuke's side, then picking him up.

Sasuke scowled but let Naruto do whatever. Slamming the car's door close, Naruto started walking towards the house surrounded by fields.

After knoking on the door and about five minutes of waiting, a pink-haired woman in her sixties opened the door, at first looking quite happy to see Naruto but her expression then changing upon seeing the little Sasuke in Naruto's arms.

"Oh, hell no, Naruto."

Oh, hell yes. Naruto was crazy with love.


To be continued...

I kinda like this chapter! :D

It turned out to be like my other story, Under Pressure, where it's from the protagonist's point of view but he doesn't have any lines. It's kinda fun to write that way.

Comment and Criticize! (...please?)
