-1 It has been almost one year since Naruto had tried to kill himself. After months and months of constant day to day attention, Naruto was slowly becoming himself again.

Naruto still didn't know what part Sasuke had played in his rescuing. As soon as Kakashi had arrived, he had ran out of the house. Nobody told Naruto who his savior had been, and Naruto never asked, but after that day Sasuke rarely left his side.

Sasuke was walking to the Uchiha mansion, submersed in the memories when he heard someone call his name from behind him.

Turning around, he saw a blonde and orange blur racing toward him. 'Speak of the devil,' he thought. He turned and continued walking.

"Hey Sasuke!" Naruto called as he matched Sasuke's stride and caught up to him.

'Yes, dobe?" Sasuke asked.

"Nothing teme, I was just wondering if you want to stay the night at my house."

Taken aback by the invitation, Sasuke stopped for a few seconds before continuing. He looked around at all the townspeople that were passing them. Ever since then, the people were nicer and more understanding and accepting to Naruto.

"Sure, let me get my things, and I'll come." Sasuke said emotionlessly. "Just give me ten minutes."

Naruto smiled. "Okay, see you in a bit!" he said and ran away to his house.

-----xXx-----

Ten minutes later, Sasuke knocked on the door to the blonde's house. As he did so, the memory from a year ago crossed his eye. He shooc his head, trying to rid the scene just as Naruto opened the door.

"Hey, teme," Naruto said waving him inside.

"Dobe." Sasuke said as he walked into the house.

"Just drop your things in the living room and make yourself at home." Naruto said, walking down the hallway to his room.

Sasuke did as the blonde requested, and sat on the couch to wait for him.

He didn't have to wait too long before Naruto returned with a DVD. "It's supposed to be scary," he said. He put it in the player and turned it on, and sat next to Sasuke.

A quarter of the way through the movie, Sasuke couldn't help but to blurt out the question that had been bugging him. "Naruto? Why did you randomly ask me to your house?"

Naruto looked down at his hands and said, "I thought we could have some fun, we haven't been able to spend time together like friends since we were first assigned our team..."

"Oh," was all Sasuke said.

When the movie was over Naruto put the DVD away. "How about some food?" he asked Sasuke.

"Anything, as long as its not ramen," he answered with a sneer.

Naruto stuck his tongue out at him, and headed to the phone to call up for a pizza.

They sat together and waited for the delivery man to arrive. When he did, Naruto paid and him and Sasuke sat down at the table to eat. Half way through his first slice, Sasuke, getting sick of the silence, thought of a good game to play. "Hey, do you want to play 'Would You Rather'?"

"Sure, you start," Naruto replied, a bit of pizza falling from his open mouth.

"Okay, would you rather… shave Lee's hair or eyebrows?"

Naruto snorted. "Eyebrows, then I can give half to Gaara!"

Sasuke smirked. "That's good, your turn."

"Okay... hm... Would you rather... be chased by fangirls or fanboys?"

"Girls, easier to fight off. My turn, would you rather... dance around completely naked or run around looking like Lee?"

"Naked, no questions asked. Would you rather... HAVE fangirls or fanboys?"

Sasuke put his third slice down and look down at his hands. "B-boys..."

Naruto put down what was his fifth slice and looked at Sasuke.

"Same question to you." Sasuke said still not looking at Naruto.

"Same answer."

Sasuke looked at Naruto, who had looked away.

Just then the phone rang, making both boys jump. Naruto got up to answer it, and Sasuke went back to the living room. Looking around the room he noticed how little it changed. He sat back down on the couch and looked to the clock on the wall. It said that it was 5 minutes to midnight. He turned the TV on to a random channel and waited for Naruto.

When Naruto returned, he sat next to Sasuke saying, almost sadly, "It was just Kakashi checking up on me."

Sasuke looked at Naruto. Naruto, feeling the gaze, looked to Sasuke. Naruto started leaning in, Sasuke didn't notice until he felt Naruto's lips press firmly against his own. Shocked, Sasuke pulled back and stood up.

Naruto's eyes widened and he fell from the couch and backed up against the wall. Sasuke just stood there looking at him with wide eyes. Naruto looked at Sasuke for a second before looking down, clearly close to tears. He stood up and ran to the door.

"Naruto?" Sasuke asked, seconds before Naruto had the door open and was flying through it, despite it being so late and having a guest at his house.
"Naruto, wait!" Sasuke yelled, running after him, but it was too late by the time he made it out there. There was no sign of the blonde.
