This story has been on my mind for awhile so when I typed it up I wanted to show flashbacks and memories about how they felt at the time or how things were before Naruto left.
Everyone keeps asking why are his friends got mad at him for leaving and not going to college. Its not that they were mad it was more along the line of sad because they made a promise to go to college together and then some like Sasuke for instance was supposed to go with him to the city. He decided to leave at random when they already planned how things were going to go. Sasuke was basically the only one mad and partly Sakura but everyone else was glad he left and became successful.
Jackie2012: I am glad you like the story.
Guest: I hope you get why everything and everyone is so irritated in this chapter. Hope you grow to at least like this story.
SilverRose16701: Thanks for reading my story.
Sasuke and Naruto were still sleeping by each other in the morning when their siblings came in the house.
"Kuru, come look at this." Itachi told her. Kuruma looked at their brother's and thought it was a sweet sight.
"Maybe we should go so they don't know we seen them like this." Kuruma said as she pulled Itachi away from her brother's room.
They decided to leave them alone and eat breakfast together. Naruto was the first to wake up and he was in a tangle of limbs and it nearly made him scream when he noticed it was Sasuke. Then everything from yesterday ran through his mind.
"Oh god will he remember what I said last night?" Naruto said to himself.
"Of course I will remember what you said when I didn't drink you idiot." Sasuke said to his blonde idiot.
(Flashback)
"Do you really think it's okay we sleep next to each other?" Sasuke asked the first time they slept next to each other when all the boys slept over.
"Yeah it shouldn't be a problem. There isn't another futon for you and your my best friend." Naruto said with a smile on his face.
"Okay," Sasuke said with a smile and laid down next to Naruto.
Every time they woke up they were always tangled.
(End Flashback)
Naruto started laughing because he just had a memory of when they started sleeping in the same bed together.
"What are you laughing at idiot?" Sasuke asked looking at Naruto in a weird way.
"I just remembered when we were younger and we first shared a bed together." Naruto said laughing still.
"You're an idiot," Sasuke said and got off the bed but fell to the floor because his legs were still sleeping.
Naruto popped his head off the bed to look down at Sasuke. "You okay?" Naruto asked.
"Shut up," Sasuke mumbled and stood up. As he was walking out the door he turned back around looking at Naruto. "Are you coming?" Sasuke said waiting for Naruto to get off the bed.
Naruto nodded and walked up to Sasuke by the door like a puppy. They walked out Naruto's room to see their siblings in the kitchen their first instinct was to run in Naruto's room and not to come out. Sasuke walked ahead toward the kitchen.
"Morning little brother," Itachi said smirking. Kuruma was just smiling at them.
"When did you get here last night?" Kuruma asked her little brother.
"I don't remember I was drunk." Naruto said as he got some orange juice out the fridge.
"And you drove here?" Kuruma said in a worried tone.
"No I didn't drive here. My car is at Ino's. I got a ride from Sasuke last night." Naruto said honestly.
"That was nice of you little brother. But if you were drunk again and you would have got stopped you know dad will be pissed." Itachi said to his younger brother.
Naruto raised his eyebrow saying what. 'So he got a DUI okay,' Naruto thought.
"Damn it Itachi, I wasn't even drinking asshole." Sasuke sat down on the chair across from his brother glaring daggers.
"Then why didn't you come home?" Itachi asked.
"Because I was sick and he wanted to make sure I was okay." Naruto lied for Sasuke. Sasuke looked at him like he was saying why.
"Oh well that's nice little brother." Itachi said knowing there was more to it than just that.
"Well I made breakfast for you both so eat. I have to go to work so I will see you later. Little brother I have to talk to you about something later so be here tonight." Kuruma said to Naruto.
"Okay," Naruto said and got his food.
Kuruma and Itachi got up to leave to go to work. When they finally left that left the two men to talk about yesterday.
"Sasuke, you do know that I missed you a lot." Naruto said deciding he was going to start the conversation.
"I think we should talk about something else." Sasuke said.
(Flashback)
Sasuke got to his house and slammed the front door and stomped all the way up the stairs then slammed his own door. His mother and father must not have been there or he would have got in trouble for slamming on things. There was a knock on his bedroom door. The person didn't wait for an answer so that only left one person, Itachi.
"What do you want?" Sasuke asked bitterly.
"Are you okay little brother?" Itachi asked like Sasuke was about to break.
"Why wouldn't I be? The idiot is leaving and now I don't have to worry about anyone but myself." Sasuke said on the brink of tears.
"It's okay to be upset. He's your best friend." Itachi said walking up to his little brother.
"If I was his best friend he would have waited for me to leave with him or ask me to come with him." Sasuke said one tear fell from his eyes.
"Sasuke, he would never ask you that when he knows college is important to you." Itachi said about to hug his little brother.
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT ALL THAT! I WANT TO BE WITH HIM!" Sasuke yelled and stood up now he was crying.
"Sasuke," Itachi didn't say anything else just pulled him into a hug with Sasuke crying.
(End Flashback)
"Sasuke, Sasuke," Naruto called waving his hand in his face because Sasuke was zoned out.
Sasuke smacked his hand out his of his face. "Stop it idiot," Sasuke said.
"Well you were daydreaming," Naruto said.
"I wasn't daydreaming," Sasuke denied.
"You so were; I was calling you for like five minutes. It must have been something good for you to block out my voice for so long." Naruto said.
"Nothing could block out your voice for too long. I would know I tried." Sasuke said with a smirk.
"Oh there goes my bastard, with your classic smirk of class." Naruto said with a smile on his face.
"I am not your bastard." Sasuke said with a voice that said don't argue you that fact. But Naruto didn't care.
"You are my bastard; I don't care what you say but you are." Naruto said and walked to wash his plate.
Sasuke quietly got up and walked behind Naruto so he could catch him by his arms. Naruto turned around and got caught.
"Get off my arms bastard, I hate when you do this." Naruto screamed.
"I don't care what you hate. Tell me Naruto, what did you miss the most about me? You say you missed me more than anyone. What did you miss?" Sasuke said looking Naruto straight in his eyes. Naruto was stuck in two ways now. Naruto didn't know what to say, it happened so randomly that he didn't know what to say. "See, your full of shit," Sasuke said letting go of him.
"That's not fair you didn't even give me a chance to respond to you." Naruto said to Sasuke who was walking out of the kitchen.
"Excuses, excuses," Sasuke said and didn't even spare a glance if he did he would have known what was coming. Naruto jumped on his back making them both fall on the floor. "Seriously you fucking idiot," Sasuke said under Naruto temporarily being crushed. "Get the hell off me," Sasuke said struggling.
"No, not until you listen to me asshole." Naruto said putting more weight down.
"Okay, okay you idiot lift up some of your weight before you squish me to death." Sasuke said.
"I missed everything about you. I had dreams about you every night since I been gone and since I been here. I was scared to see you when I got back because I didn't want to hear the words you said just in case you said the words from my dreams. It had me on edge and nearly gave me a heart attack. Yesterday, when I saw you I nearly threw up from seeing you because I was so nervous and you did exactly what I thought you would." Naruto said with a sad expression. Sasuke looked at him and actually felt bad for Naruto.
"Ino, told me yesterday that you cried yesterday. Why?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto slowly got off him and looked at him with weird eyes that Sasuke saw when they were younger but he saw them only once and didn't know what they meant. Naruto looked down that very moment like he was trying to hide something from Sasuke. Sasuke knew he has been hiding something from him since they were thirteen.
(Flashback)
"Naruto, what's going on?" Sasuke asked him looking at the odd expression Naruto was giving him. Sasuke wanted to know what Naruto was hiding and it made him feel bad that Naruto didn't trust him enough to tell him what was wrong.
"Nothing," Naruto said and closed the door to his room.
Sasuke just stood there curious to why his friend was lying to him. "You don't got to lie Naruto. Just tell me you don't want to tell me." Sasuke said irritated.
"It's not that Sasuke, you just won't understand let it be." Naruto said walking to his desk.
"Seriously? I listen to everything that you tell me and I try to understand and help you with your problem and now you don't think I should know this when it's really bothering you." Sasuke said irritated.
"Just let it go, you won't be able to help me with this. Just trust me," Naruto said in pleading way and his eyes were in a weird expression that were never there before on his best friend.
"You don't even trust me to tell me what is wrong and I am supposed to trust you." Sasuke stated clearly irritated.
Sasuke walked out of Naruto's bedroom knowing his friend was calling him back but he didn't listen, he just walked to his house and ignored all of Naruto's calls that night. In the morning he was still mad so he ignored Naruto all day until Naruto mauled him. That was there first real fight.
(End Flashback)
'Why couldn't that memory ever go away?' Sasuke thought. "Naruto, tell me why you were crying I want to know." Sasuke said with an expression that said he wasn't kidding.
"I cried because it felt like every one of you didn't care about my dream but I am supposed to care about everyone else's dreams. Also, it felt like no one believed that I could make it in my dream. I was just sad because no one cared that I suffered too they only cared about their suffering not mine. All of you had each other I was alone down there." Naruto said with a sad expression with his back against the wall.
Sasuke looked at Naruto's expression and once again felt guilty for being mad all this time. But his anger just wouldn't go away. "You don't know how we all felt, mainly me." Sasuke said seething with his anger and sadness.
"I didn't say I did I just want you to understand it was hard for me to be away from everything I knew and away from everyone I love. I was depressed for the first week there." Naruto said.
"And I am supposed to feel bad? Why you're the one who left me?" Sasuke said in a bitter tone.
"Shut the hell up Sasuke. I missed you as much as you missed me, but unlike you I didn't act like I didn't or say I didn't know you. I stood up like a man and admitted to missing you." Naruto said in an irritated way.
"You a man? Hah who lied to you and told you that?" Sasuke said.
"Why do you keep trying to put me down? I am already down because you don't want to do anything accept argue with me." Naruto said looking at Sasuke.
"Just because everyone else can get over you leaving for five years doesn't mean I can. You bailed on me." Sasuke said.
"You can't get over it because you're a bitter asshole." Naruto said and stood to walk away.
Sasuke didn't say anything just sat there in the same spot and watched Naruto walk in his room. Naruto slammed the door and went to lay on his bed. Sasuke stood up and went to Naruto's room and jumped on him while he was laying on the bed.
'This damn idiot isn't going to call me a bitter asshole and get away with it,' Sasuke thought as he jumped on Naruto.
"OW," Naruto said but he had his hands pinned before he could do anything.
"I am not a bitter asshole, you stupid son of a bitch." Sasuke said threw gritted teeth.
"Yes you are," Naruto said not caring Sasuke was on top of him.
"Fuck you Naruto, you weren't here so you don't know what I went through without you here. The one person that was supposed to be my best friend but became a fucking deserter and can't even own up to it." Sasuke said seething with his anger and sadness all over again.
"Seriously? I did own up to it you fucking moron. For the love of oranges, I said sorry multiple times but you won't even listen to me. Maybe you should cut your hair by your ears so you can hear better." Naruto said getting angry now too. Them both being angry is never a good thing.
"You're an idiot and I should have known what was the point of telling you anything when you don't even care." Sasuke said getting off of Naruto. Naruto took that opportunity to pin Sasuke.
"Sasuke, how could you say that to me when I am telling you I care about you and that I missed you and that all I have been dreaming about was your punk ass. You just want a reason to not talk to me. ADMIT IT!" Naruto said yelling the last part.
"I told you yesterday that I didn't want to talk to you." Sasuke admitted.
"Then, what was the point of all this and yesterday? You're such a hypocrite Sasuke. You want me to admit I was wrong but you don't want to talk to me. I was not wrong and I did succeed for your information and I made it farther than most people that are in that business." Naruto said seething with rage.
"I am not a hypocrite you stupid asshole. Tell me Naruto, when are you leaving and not coming back again?" Sasuke said.
"I might leave a few times but I am always coming back. Is that what you want for me not to come back?" Naruto said.
"I just wish you didn't come back in the first place." Sasuke said. He only said it because he was hurt and wanted Naruto to hurt too.
Naruto looked down and his expression went cold. "Fine," Naruto said and got off Sasuke not saying another word. Naruto walked out the room to look for his keys, he wanted to pick up his car and get his stuff from his parent's house. When he finally found them he walked out the door with a loud slam.
Sasuke stayed in the room on the bed feeling like shit. 'Why can't we just go back to how we used to be?' Sasuke thought in utter sadness. Sasuke got up and went to the door, he was leaving to go home.
Naruto on the other hand was going to Ino's then to his parent's house to get his things to leave the village again. 'What am I supposed to do?' Naruto thought. "Why won't he just forgive me?" Naruto said out loud. Naruto thought it would be best to call Ino to see if anyone was there so he could grab his car.
(Ring, Ring, Ring)
"Naruto, what's going on?" Ino said through the phone.
"I was wondering if anyone was at your house so I could get your car." Naruto said not really hiding the hurt in his voice.
"What's wrong Naruto?" Ino said full of concern.
"Nothing I just want my car." Naruto said but his voice cracked.
"Naruto, what happened with you and Sasuke? Never mind just come to my house and we will talk I am worried about what you're planning to do now. Come right inside the door will be unlocked." Ino said hanging up not giving him any option.
(End call)
Ino was pissed she didn't know what was happening but she was going to find out. Only one person could upset Naruto to the point of him wanting to run away. She called Sasuke immediately.
(Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring) she hung up because he didn't answer so she called again.
(Ring, Ring,)
"Holy shit Ino what?" Sasuke said sounding extremely pissed off.
"What did you do to Naruto?" Ino said not hesitating.
"What the hell did that idiot tell you?" Sasuke said in bitter tone.
"Nothing but I will have you know that he wants his car and I think he is planning on leaving the village because of whatever happened to you two yesterday or today whenever it happened. Your fucking it up for us too you know that right?" Ino said in an accusing manner.
"Ino don't blame me for what that idiot decides to do." Sasuke said in a bitter tone. But in all honesty he couldn't believe what Ino was telling him.
"It is your fault Sasuke he told us yesterday that he is a solo artist now and that he will only leave the village from time to time and now he seems like he just wants to dodge the fuck out and I know for a fact that it's your fault. Now tell me what you said." Ino said not caring if she was bothering Sasuke anymore.
"I didn't do anything to that idiot accept spoke the truth." Sasuke said.
"And you probably added more comments along the line of you not wanting him to come back at all, right? I am aren't I?" Ino said.
"Shut up, were better off without him anyway." Sasuke said not meaning it at all.
"Oh really? When was the last time we all hung out with each other? Where all of us were there? It was yesterday even though you were a pussy and left. Why don't you be a man and tell him how you really feel about him?" Ino said.
Before Sasuke could respond she spoke again. "Naruto is here now got to go," Ino said and hung up on Sasuke.
(End Call)
"Seriously what the hell is wrong with her?" Sasuke said out loud.
"Who Ino?" a voice he didn't know was there responded to him.
Sasuke jumped and turned around to see Shikamaru outside the coffee house he was about to go in.
"Shikamaru, don't do that." Sasuke said through gritted teeth.
"I don't usually but it seemed like you needed advice. What's going on?" Shikamaru said.
They walked in the coffee shop and ordered what they wanted.
"What's going on Sasuke?" Shikamaru asked.
"Ino is under the impression that Naruto is going to leave because of something I said to him." Sasuke said.
"Shit with how he feels about you he actually might." Shikamaru said sipping on his drink.
"What do you mean how he feels about me?" Sasuke asked curiously. Sasuke wanted to know Shikamaru's opinion because aside from himself he knew Shikamaru was close to Naruto and one of the people that kept in touch with him.
"Come on Sasuke, he cares about you more than any of us including his own family. How much do you want to bet if you weren't mad and he came back as a surprise he would have went to your house before there's. I didn't think you were blind until now." Shikamaru said.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Sasuke said.
(Flashback)
"Sasuke, you're really not going to say good bye to him today?" Shikamaru asked.
"Who?" Sasuke asked.
"Naruto of course," Shikamaru said.
"I don't know no one by that name." Sasuke said in a bitter tone that said he wasn't coming.
"Okay well if you do decide to change your mind it's at train station three at one o'clock." Shikamaru said and walked out Sasuke's room.
Sasuke sighed.
(End Flashback)
"Sasuke? Are you listening to what I'm saying?" Shikamaru asked.
"What?" Sasuke asked again because he wasn't listening.
"I swear I wonder who was the smart one out of you two because I swear you both act stupid." Shikamaru said with a sigh of frustration.
Before Sasuke could retort to that comment saying Naruto was the idiot not him Shikamaru's phone rang.
(Phone Call)
"Shikamaru, where are you?" Ino asked.
"At a coffee shop with Sasuke. Why?" Shikamaru said and asked.
"Well that idiot by you made this idiot by me want to leave the village again and this time not come back at all. I had to lock this blonde idiot in a closet so he couldn't leave and I hid his car keys." Ino said.
All Shikamaru heard was Naruto screaming in the background about letting him out the closet.
"Try to convince him by saying we all won't talk to him and that we will tell his dad. Say nothing about Sasuke at all." Shikamaru said earning him a look from Sasuke.
"Okay, are you coming then?" Ino asked.
"Yes I will be there in forty minutes." Shikamaru said and hung up on Ino.
(End Call)
"See you idiot," Shikamaru said standing up from his seat.
"Wait what are you talking about?" Sasuke said standing up next to him.
"You made him want to run away by what you said. I swear Sasuke fix this." Shikamaru said. It wasn't a threat but it was a promise saying there will be consequences if he didn't. "Unlike you we forgave him because we heard him out. Yeah he is hiding things from us but he will eventually tell us the secrets. Do you want to know what he really thinks of you?" Shikamaru said. Sasuke nodded that he wanted to know what he really thought. "Then come with me to Ino's and listen without him knowing." Shikamaru said and walked out the coffee shop to Sasuke's car.
They drove to Ino's house and rang the doorbell. She came to the door immediately like she has been waiting right there.
"Shika, what the hell is wrong with you? Why would you bring him here?" Ino said and pointed at Sasuke.
"Shut up Ino, I brought him here so he can find out how Naruto really feels about him." Shikamaru said and walked inside the house with Sasuke close behind him.
"Okay we have to hide him while we take Naruto out the closet. You go in the front closet." Ino said and pushed him to her coat closet.
When they pushed Sasuke in that closet they walked to the closet Ino locked Naruto in.
"What the fuck Ino?" Naruto said as he came out the closet. "Hey Shika, you really called Shika?" Naruto said looking at Ino.
"I had to lock you in there until Shika came so you didn't try to leave the village." Ino said.
"Who said I was leaving?" Naruto asked.
"Naru, I know you were trying. I heard the crack in your voice when we were on the phone together. The first time you left did you forget it's me you talked to about leaving earlier than you were supposed to." Ino said.
(Flashback)
"Naruto, what are you talking about?" Ino asked through the phone.
"I got to go sooner than planned Ino. I can't be here anymore. Sasuke won't even talk to me and it hurts to see him." Naruto said.
"Why what happened?" Ino asked.
"He hates me Ino. He's mad that I am leaving. I want you to know I need someone on my side." Naruto said.
"Of course Naruto, I won't say anything until I need to." Ino said.
"Thank you," Naruto said.
(End Flashback)
"What is she talking about Naruto?" Shikamaru asked, he didn't know about this and this shocked him.
"When I left the first time I still had a week before I had to be in the city. I left because I couldn't look Sasuke in the eyes anymore because he was mad at me." Naruto said honestly but he glared at Ino for telling one of his secrets.
Sasuke was shocked by what he heard he couldn't believe it.
"So you left a week earlier because you couldn't see Sasuke. Naruto why are you trying to run away now?" Shikamaru asked.
"Why be here? Everyone seems fine and better off without me. Sasuke doesn't even want me here. He told me he wished I never came back." Naruto said with sadness that struck all their hearts.
"Naruto we are all glad that your back because we all missed you. Do you know none of us hung out all together until yesterday?" Shikamaru said trying to get his best friend to understand.
"For real?" Naruto asked tilting his head to the side.
Shikamaru chuckled, "for real," Shikamaru said.
"So what are you going to do? Are you going to run away like last time or are you just going to face it like a man?" Ino asked.
Naruto smiled because he didn't expect his friends to get like this with him.
"Naruto if you leave you will lose more than Sasuke this time." Shikamaru said.
Naruto looked at Shikamaru shocked because Shikamaru was telling him he wouldn't be his friend if he left. "I am not going anywhere," Naruto said.
"Naruto, how do you feel about Sasuke?" Ino asked as they walked to the living room. Shikamaru looked at her like he was saying what the hell are you doing.
"He's my friend," Naruto said half-heartedly.
"No not that, how do you feel about him? Emotions wise," Ino said casually like she wasn't asking an important question.
"I love him." Naruto said honestly with a warm smile.
Sasuke was shocked by the words he just heard. He was so shocked that he slid down the wall to sit down because he had no balance. And then a memory came back to him, this memory happened when they were in high school.
(Flashback)
"Hey Naru," Sasuke said as he sat next to Naruto in school.
"Hey Sasuke," Naruto said in a slight daze.
"What are you thinking about? You seem to be thinking really hard and it's definitely not about school." Sasuke said with a slight tug at Naruto's hair.
"Sasuke, have you ever been in love?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke was shocked by what his best friend asked him. "No, why?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"I was just wondering. Have you ever liked someone?" Naruto asked, nervous as hell. It seemed real out of place to Sasuke.
"No, who do you like Naruto?" Sasuke asked sure that his friend liked someone.
"No one I just wanted to know if you ever liked someone." Naruto said but he blushed so Sasuke knew he was lying to him. But why?
"Naruto you're blushing and your telling me you don't like someone." Sasuke said in a tone that said to be honest already.
"Fine I love someone but I don't know how they feel about me." Naruto said honestly.
"Why don't you just ask them?" Sasuke said, thinking that it was simple.
"What do you think about me?" Naruto asked changing the subject in Sasuke's eyes.
(End Flashback)
Now it made sense to Sasuke why he asked him that question all those years ago. Naruto had feelings for him, that's what he was hiding all this time. But they were thirteen when he first saw that look in Naruto's eyes.
"Mommy!" Sasuke heard a kid call Ino.
"Inoichi hi hones," Ino said to her son. "Naruto is here," Ino said to her son.
"YAY! My comrade," Inoichi said and ran to the living room. Inoichi ran to the living room where
Sai came in the door next and said hi to his future wife then walked upstairs from what Sasuke could hear. Then the closet he was in opened. It was Ino.
"Okay you got what you wanted to hear so go before he knows you heard." Ino said to Sasuke pushing him out the door to go to his car.
Sasuke got out the house immediately and ran to his car. He put in drive and drove off right away.
(Ring, Ring,)
"Yes little brother?" Itachi said.
"How long are you going to be at work?" Sasuke said in a rushed tone.
"For two more minutes. But I am going to Kuru's apartment to tell Naruto the news. Oh and me and you have to talk about the house me and you happened to be sharing, so go to Kuru's apartment." Itachi said.
"Okay I am going there now," Sasuke said and hung up.
(End Call)
Sasuke couldn't believe what was happening for the past two days. When his brother first told him that Naruto was back he couldn't believe it. Wait until Sasuke's parents came back from there trip.
Naruto was frustrated to say the least when he got back to her parent's house and got his stuff his dad said he better not be leaving the village and then when he finally got back to his sister's place Sasuke was there. Why was he there by himself? And not only that it annoyed Naruto that Sasuke wouldn't even look at him. Kuruma and Itachi finally got into the house and he was relieved to hear some noise aside from the T.V.
"Come and sit at the table you two." Itachi said. They both did as he said.
"Naruto, Sasuke, we are leaving you this place." Kuruma said in simple way.
Sasuke rose from his seat, "What do you mean?" Sasuke asked in a menacing voice.
"Sasuke, me and Kuru are going to live in the house we live in now." Itachi said in a simple tone proving how much he didn't care.
"Brother, we got that house together. How are you just going to take it from me?" Sasuke said.
"Sasuke, I am pregnant." Kuruma said in a happy voice that said he couldn't argue anymore.
"Fine," Sasuke said and sat down.
"Wow congrats sis," Naruto said standing up smiling and hugging his sister.
"Thank you, just so you know you guys are the first two to know." Kuruma said hugging her brother back.
"Cool, but why do we have to live together for you guys to keep the house?" Naruto asked.
"Because neither of you have a place and we thought it would be easier to split the rent like that." Itachi said.
"I rather live by myself and choose my own place." Naruto said in a tone that showed he didn't care.
"Well you can but I need someone to hold the lease until the end of the year. So can you please just do it for me?" Kuruma said in a pleading voice to her brother that he couldn't resist helping her.
"Fine I will do it until the end of the year." Naruto said.
"Sasuke?" Itachi asked.
"Fine I will do it until then too. And congratulations." Sasuke said.
"Okay so there are three bedrooms as you know Sasuke. Naruto you will be getting my bedroom. It has a study, a walk in closet, and your own bathroom. Sasuke you can get one of the other bedrooms."
"Why does he get your room?" Sasuke asked.
"Because this is my apartment and he has first say in rooms. So Naruto do you want the room?" Kuruma said and looked at Naruto. Sasuke was too busy pouting.
"Yeah I will take it. So, when are you leaving the apartment?" Naruto asked curiously.
"Well I already moved my stuff out. I only really wanted to take my clothes. One of Itachi's friends took my bed out and replaced it to a new one." Kuruma said as she walked with her brother to her room.
That left the two brothers to talk to each other.
"What's wrong little brother?" Itachi asked sitting down at the kitchen table.
"I said some harsh things earlier to Naruto." Sasuke said honestly.
"How can you go from laying next to him to arguing with him?" Itachi asked.
"It's a lot of issues we need to work out. He went to Ino's house and I just so happen to run into Shikamaru and he gave me a few words. Then Ino called him telling him she locked Naruto in her closet." Itachi made Sasuke pause by putting his hand up.
"She put him in the closet?" Itachi asked.
"Yes, now don't interrupt before they hear." Sasuke paused and his brother nodded. "Me and Shikamaru were at the coffee shop and Shikamaru said he didn't think we were both idiots. Then when we went to Ino's and they started to talk to Naruto and I was listening because they told me too and let's be honest I wanted to know. Ino said that Naruto left a week earlier then he was supposed to because of me. Then they asked him how he felt about me and he said he loves me." Sasuke said before hearing the other two come out of the room.
"Queen mattress haven't had that in a while." Naruto said to Kuruma.
"I will talk to you about what I think later little brother." Itachi said quickly and the other set of siblings were in view.
Sasuke was staring at them and then remembered when they were six if he remembers correctly.
(Flashback)
"I think your sister is really beautiful." Sasuke said to Naruto.
"Don't even think about it because I will beat you up." Naruto said as serious as a six-year-old could get.
A little scuffle broke out and Itachi stopped it. He was ten-years-old at the time.
"What is going on? You two are friends you shouldn't fight with each other." Itachi said.
"He wants my sister he is not going to have her she is mine and he is mine." Naruto said.
"You don't know how to share." Sasuke said.
"Shut up," Naruto said and bit Sasuke.
"Oww why did you bite me?" Sasuke said.
"You should not talk about me or I will bite you again and again and again." Naruto said with a triumphant smile that said he won.
Itachi let the boys go and Sasuke charged at Naruto and bit him back. To say they got in trouble for biting would be an understatement. They were grounded for a week.
(End Flashback)
Sasuke had to chuckle at that memory, this moment reminds him of that day and he didn't know why.
"What are you laughing at little brother?" Itachi asked.
"This moment kind of reminded me of something. I don't care what room I take as long as it has a closet." Sasuke said walked to the room that Naruto was in yesterday.
"Come get your stuff by the house tonight if you want or tomorrow. I know you start work on your computer next week, so come before then." Itachi said.
Sasuke nodded to his brother from the doorway. When he closed the door he laid on the bed him and Naruto just laid in yesterday. He was nervous thinking about what Naruto said at Ino's house.
Naruto on the other hand was ready to start cooking and wanted to go out and get some drinks in this house that he so desperately needed. But first he had to go to the store for food and drinks. He wrote Sasuke a note saying where he went and left the house.
Sasuke thought it was too quiet in the apartment so he left his room and started to look around until he found the note on the table.
Sasuke,
I went to go and get some food for this place and I want some drinks so I should be back soon. I am not going anywhere else accept probably my mom's. We can talk later if you want.
Naruto
P.S. don't be an ass.
'Sometimes I wonder about his brain cells,' Sasuke thought. But he held the note a little longer then he cared to admit. Sasuke walked to the bathroom to take a shower and then he remembered he didn't have anything here so he decided he was going to leave to get his stuff. Well his clothes at least.
(Calling Itachi)
"Yes little brother? There can't be problems when we just left the house." Itachi said.
"I was wondering if it would be decent if I came by the house to at least get my clothes." Sasuke said.
"Of course little Sasuke," Itachi said taunting his little brother.
"Shut up, I will be there in ten minutes." Sasuke said and hung up.
(Call Ended)
"Man he's annoying," Sasuke said out loud and walked out the door to his car.
When Naruto got home he knew Sasuke wasn't there by the utter silence in the house. Naruto carried the bags to the kitchen and put everything away then went back to his car to get his things so he could shower and cook then he could drink his sorrows.
"What should I make today?" Naruto thought out loud.
Naruto put all the groceries away and then he put his stuff away in his room without unpacking he thought it would give him something to do later while he drinks. That reminds Naruto he has to call the person holding his stuff in the city.
(Calling Shion)
"Well hello asshole thanks for calling me after you got off the train." Shion said.
"Sorry it's my friends here got me drunk off my ass." Naruto said.
"I am glad they are talking to you after all this time. What about that pink-haired girl and the boy you love?" Shion asked.
"Well Sakura is talking to me and he doesn't want to talk to me. He said he hates me and wishes I never came back." Naruto said sadly.
"Wow what an asshole. And here I thought you were an asshole for going back." Shion said.
"I told you already that I wasn't planning on staying there by you forever. How is she?" Naruto asked.
"Oh you mean your adopted daughter basically. She is waiting for school to be over so she can go back by you. Did you tell anyone that you adopted a daughter?" Shion asked.
"No I didn't tell anyone that yet. But speaking of that my friend has a four-year-old so she should be fine down here." Naruto said.
"I guess I will see you at the end of the month then. You want to talk to her really quick?" Shion asked.
"Yeah of course put her on." Naruto said.
There was a shuffle on the phone then a little voice came on the phone, "daddy?" the little one said.
"Hey Chi, how are you baby girl?" Naruto said.
"I'm okay daddy but I miss you aunty Shi is crazy she wake me in five in morning." The little blonde said.
"Well you do need to go to school silly girl." Naruto said.
"But not at five in morning daddy and you know that." The little blonde said.
"I know but you know Shion works too." Naruto said chuckling.
"I know, I love you, daddy. I talk you, morrow." The little blonde said and hands the phone to Shion.
"She drives me crazy with talking about you." Shion said.
"What do you expect she loves me." Naruto said confidently.
"Yeah, yeah daddy's the best. But you better say something to your family. You only have until this month is over Naruto. Text me the address for the end of the month because it is less than two weeks." Shion said.
"Okay I will call you later. Thank you Shion and love you." Naruto said and hung up.
(Called Ended)
Naruto let out a sigh. How should he tell everyone that he went an adopted his friend's daughter while he was in the city after his friend died. 'I will worry about that later let's cook right now,' Naruto thought.
Sasuke walked in the house after being gone for hours. He walked into the hall of the apartment and smelled food it smelt like spaghetti. Sasuke put his stuff that he could bring into his room and went to the kitchen and noticed there was another note for him. This time on the fridge.
Sasuke,
I know you like spaghetti so I made it with real tomatoes not from the can. Enjoy.
Naruto
'Why is he trying so hard?' Sasuke thought then he heard the T.V. on and walked toward it and noticed Naruto sleeping on the couch. "Naruto, go to your bed." Sasuke said tapping him to move.
"Stop bothering me Chi," Naruto mumbled in his sleep.
'Chi, who the fuck is that?' Sasuke thought. "Idiot get off the couch and go to your room." Sasuke said slapping Naruto in the head.
"Ow what the fuck was that for?" Naruto complained.
"Go to your fucking room," Sasuke said and walked toward the kitchen again.
"You don't have to be rude about it." Naruto said and walked to his room without saying another word.
Sasuke heard the shower running and went to his phone.
To: Ino
Ino, do you know someone named Chi from the city? I tried to wake Naruto up and he told me to stop bothering him but called me Chi.
From: Sasuke
Sasuke sent the text message and went to the fridge and pulled the phone out and was surprised by how much food was in the fridge and cabinets and the stuff wasn't junk accept a few things. He heard his phone go off and ran to his phone, if Ino didn't know who this person was then he will have to ask Shikamaru.
To: Sasuke
I have no idea who that person is. Hang on where are you? Why was he sleeping in your vicinity? If I had to say I do remember Naruto once mentioning a friend down, there named Chi. You would have to ask Shika.
From: Ino
Sasuke knew it was going to be Shikamaru he had to talk to for this. He flipped through his contacts and texted Shikamaru.
To: Shikamaru
Do you know someone named Chi in Naruto's life?
From: Sasuke
It was plain and simple between Sasuke and Shikamaru. His phone went off rather quickly.
To: Sasuke
Yeah there was this guy up in the city that he was really close to. I believe it was someone from his old band. The kid died from what Naruto told me it was a sad accident but I know there was more but Naruto wouldn't tell me. I know that he was close to Naruto to the point that Naruto was his best man in his wedding.
From: Shikamaru
'So it was his best friend from the city. So he replaced me,' Sasuke thought.
Naruto came out the shower and walked to his duffel bag for some of his clothes. While he was going through his bag he found the picture that he carried with him everywhere. It was a picture of Sasuke and himself at prom going solo. Well it wasn't really a solo when he went with Ino and Sasuke went with Karin. But by the end of the night they were solo taking a picture together.
(Flashback)
"This is ridiculous Naruto. Why do we have to go to the prom? Let's just stay at your house and play video games." Sasuke complained as Naruto got ready.
"No Sasuke, this is a legacy thing. We have to go and hell you're going to be crowned king Sasuke." Naruto said.
"Hah Naruto, I really don't care about that. I believe you just want to go to be in a suit because you'll never be in one." Sasuke said.
"Come on I will look good in a suit but you're right I will never be a suit wearer that will be you my friend." Naruto said with a smirk.
"Fine I will go. Who will I be going with? Please not Sakura." Sasuke said.
"Pick out of the hat." Naruto said. "Oh and by the way are names are in there too. So if we pick are own name were going solo." Naruto said chuckling.
"Would if we pick each other?" Sasuke asked.
"Then me and you will be going to the prom together love." Naruto said smiling.
"Shut up idiot pick first." Sasuke said coming by Naruto.
Naruto stuck his hand in the hat first and pulled out a name. "Ino," Naruto said smiling.
"Okay," Sasuke said and stuck his hand in the hat. Sasuke got Naruto but he didn't say anything and he thought of a name quick. "Karin," Sasuke said frowning.
"Damn that sucks Sasu. You want to put the name back and pick another." Naruto said feeling bad for him.
"It's fine, let's call them." Sasuke said and pulled out his phone.
(End Flashback)
Naruto had to smile about how they got to hang out more that day then with their dates. It made Naruto happy because Sasuke was the person he wanted to go with anyway. Then he pulled out another picture of himself, Chi his friend that passed, Vaya his other friend that passed, and the baby Chi. He smiled at both pictures. Naruto was friends with all his bandmates right away. It was Shion, Chi, and Vaya. They were friends since middle school and they started the band and was looking for a lead singer and he snagged the position quickly.
(Flashback)
"Vaya, all the people that came in so far suck. They couldn't sing if it would save their lives." Shion said.
"Come on Shion there was a few good ones." Vaya said to her best friend.
"Shion and Vaya meet Naruto. Naruto this is Shion and this is Vaya." Chi said walking into the building they were in.
"Who is this blondie?" Shion asked.
"I am going to sing for you." Naruto said confidently.
"Okay sing this song. We named it Sanctuary." Shion said.
"Go ahead Naruto show them how good you are." Chi said.
"Yeah we'll see about that." Shion said.
Naruto started to sing and blew them away. Shion and Vaya were happy that someone was finally good enough for them.
Naruto noticed that Vaya was pregnant and was shocked she was behind the drums.
"Pregnant?" Naruto said bluntly.
"Yeah so? You got a problem with it?" Shion said for Vaya.
"No I don't have a problem with that." Naruto said shaking his head back and forth.
"Naruto, this is my fiancé Vaya but she is also the drummer of our band. Don't let the belly fool you she can play." Chi said.
"Haha I believe it." Naruto said and looked around "So, when do we start?" Naruto said with a smile. They all smiled and went to their instruments.
(End Flashback)
Naruto couldn't believe it's been three and a half years since they passed. Naruto and Shion stayed in contact it was mandatory in Shion's eyes, especially since they were the baby's godparents but the baby was left to Naruto's care. Shion was a partier Naruto wasn't so they knew they made the right choice.
Sasuke at the moment was in his room eating the food Naruto made, not believing he could cook. Sasuke was sitting in his room eating and waiting to see if he could hear Naruto moving around in any other room in the house. That's the moment he heard him in the kitchen and took that opportunity to talk to him.
"Naruto, thank you for the food. I didn't think you could cook." Sasuke said as he walked to the sink with his empty plate.
"I can cook I learned in the city." Naruto said not sparing Sasuke a glance as he poured himself a drink.
"Can I have some?" Sasuke asked.
Naruto just pulled down another glass cup from the cabinet and poured Sasuke a glass too.
"What music is playing in your room?" Sasuke asked.
"My band," Naruto said in a soft voice.
"That's you singing?" Sasuke said shocked.
"Yup," Naruto said with a smile.
"It's good," Sasuke said blushing because he was embarrassed. Sasuke wasn't the only one Naruto was nervous and embarrassed also.
"Thanks," Naruto said and chugged his drink.
Sasuke chugged his drink too out of a nervous tick that he had and slid his drink back to Naruto. Naruto filled both their glasses over again and they weren't sipping anymore like they should have now they were taking the drink back to back like it was shots.
"Sasuke, why do you really hate me?" Naruto asked in his drunken state.
"Who said I hated you?" Sasuke said.
"You did jackass," Naruto said slurring his words.
"I did not idiot," Sasuke said.
"The first day in the bathroom when we fought and we got all these marks on us. And you call me an idiot. Are you sure you're not an idiot?" Naruto said.
"Why the fuck does everyone keep saying I am an idiot?" Sasuke asked more to himself then to Naruto.
"Maybe because you are. Who called you an idiot?" Naruto said and asked.
"Fuck you Naruto I'm not an idiot like you and it was Shikamaru." Sasuke said bluntly.
"Then you are because Shika is never wrong." Naruto said laughing.
"Fuck you Naruto," Sasuke said.
"Tell me Sasuke, why?" Naruto said softly. "You know I never stopped thinking about you when I was in the city." Naruto said softly but what Naruto said only pissed Sasuke off.
"You made friends so don't make it seem like you were lonely." Sasuke said in an aggressive voice.
"So what I made friends but I had to make new bonds. Everyone here had our bonds that we had since we were kids." Naruto said in an aggressive tone too.
"Whatever Naruto you just want a fucking pity party that I won't be a part of." Sasuke said harshly.
"I never wanted a pity party asshole I just wanted to come back and fix what I fucked up. Not that you care anyway you already told me you wish I didn't come back." Naruto said.
"Whatever," Sasuke said and got up to go to his room. When he got to the door he turned back to Naruto and noticed all the sadness in his eyes that he was trying to avoid for so long. "I don't hate you and never mind." Sasuke said and turned to walk in his room. When he tried to close the door Naruto was wobbling and came to the door by him.
"Don't say never mind tell me," Naruto said in a voice that said he was ready for a fight.
"It doesn't matter Naruto," Sasuke said and walked more like wobbled to his bed. Naruto wobbled up to him and fell on him. "Damn it Naruto that shit hurt," Sasuke said and heard Naruto snoring.
Sasuke decided to pull him on the bed and he was too drunk to walk to another room so he laid right next to him. "I love you too Naruto." Sasuke said to the sleeping blonde next to him.
Poor Naruto will not know what was said when it meant the most to him.
Reviews. They are going to go back and forth in this story because they don't know how to interact with each other anymore after five years. There will be an explanation to why he was in such a rush to leave the village. As of now it kind of looks they are on good terms but its only temporary because of other things that occur and not only that but Naruto never told his friends why he was in a rush to leave in the first place.
